“Hmph, trying to run? No chance!” The Pig Monster stirred up a demonic wind and pursued closely.
He had to take such a powerful divine archer seriously. If he were careless and attacked by a sneak arrow, he would be seriously injured if not dead. So, he couldn’t let the archer escape.
Moreover, the flesh of a late-Origin Fluid Realm human martial artist was no small temptation for him.
“It seems that the Pig Monster has set its sights on me!” Liu Wuxie’s figure constantly flickered while his gaze swept across the battlefield outside the city, filled with the aura of slaughter.
As a divine archer, his eyes were often tempered with True Origin, resulting in extremely clear vision and ability to see far.
At this moment, he could see the distant battlefield where the killing intent was exceptionally intense, and the gloomy sky turned blood red… From the corner of his eye, he noticed another figure, one shrouded in lightning, charging towards them at a terrifying speed.
“That is…” Liu Wuxie’s gaze paused for a moment, as the other’s speed was not much different from his full-throttle attack in the late-Origin Fluid Realm.
“Is he coming back to help us?” Liu Wuxie’s heart stirred with excitement, “But how can he change the current battlefield situation all by himself?”
With these thoughts, the desperation in Liu Wuxie’s heart grew more intense. They had held on for such a long time and experienced more than ten bloody battles, yet the reinforcements from other places didn’t arrive. The Great Wilderness Major City seemed to be on the verge of being breached by the Demon Beasts.
In such a desperate situation, those below the Origin Fluid Realm would hardly have a chance to turn the tables.
In the eyes of Liu Wuxie and the many soldiers of the Black Tiger Army, the crisis on the city wall could only be reversed if a large number of Origin Fluid Realm experts or Golden Body Realm powerhouses arrived.
“Why does that figure seem so familiar?” Wang Yinghu, who was still battling a Demon Beast, noticed the figure approaching with lightning.
Gradually, the approaching silhouette overlapped with the image in his mind.
“It’s Lu Yun! Yes, it’s him!” Wang Yinghu’s heart immediately became excited, “I didn’t expect Lu Yun to really come, and it seems he has already arrived at the Great Wilderness Major City.”
“There’s a human coming.”
The Demon Beasts charging towards the city wall saw the figure surrounded by lightning.
“He’s actually brave enough to come over, he’s just seeking death!”
“Tear him apart and eat him.”
Seeing Lu Yun coming from behind, these Demon Beasts were invigorated.
“Kill him.”
Several Fourth Rank Demon Beasts turned their heads around, glaring maliciously at Lu Yun.
For them, facing a human martial artist one-on-one was hardly a challenge, let alone when they outnumbered the human in a dense pack. Mere swipes of their claws and bites of their jaws would easily slaughter the human charging towards them.
Whoosh-
The figure shrouded in purple lightning instantly crossed the distance, tracing an arc among the Fourth Rank Demon Beasts.
Six dazzling blood-red blade lights flashed simultaneously. Each blood-red blade light spanned more than ten meters, maintaining ferocious speed and power. These Fourth Rank Demon Beasts couldn’t react in time and their colossal bodies were frozen in place.
“Puff!” “Puff!” “Puff!” “Puff!” “Puff!” “Puff!”
Six sounds rang out one after another, and their frozen bodies exploded, leaving a ground littered with broken corpses.
This scene stunned the Demon Beasts attacking the city wall, even their battle cries considerably subsided.
After all, those were six Fourth Rank Demon Beasts!
Just as the countless Demon Beasts were shocked and puzzled, Lu Yun’s figure moved again, like a storm of lightning surging into the dense pack of Demon Beasts. The flickering lightning left the low-level Demon Beasts wailing in pain.
“Although this human is strong, he’s too arrogant to charge into our army. He’s seeking his own death!”
“Attack him all together and tear him to shreds!”
A Golden Hou Beast shouted orders in clear human language, without the slightest stammer. It was clearly a late- Fifth Rank beast.
“Howl.”
The beasts roared, creating a terrifying momentum that even caused the towering city wall to tremble slightly.
However, at that moment, in the midst of the packed Demon Beasts, seven white lotus flowers suddenly appeared. Each white lotus was gentle and bright, surrounded by a white glow, looking extremely beautiful.
However, the densely gathered demon beasts around, upon seeing the white lotuses, started to tremble violently, their huge bodies filled with extreme fear in their eyes.
“Roar!”
The demon beasts were highly sensitive to danger, and almost instantly sensed that some kind of enormous threat was about to happen. They turned their heads and fled in all directions.
However, there were too many demon beasts gathered around, all aiming to kill Lu Yun, blocking all the surrounding space, leaving no time to escape. Instead, they were trampling on each other due to the collision.
Meanwhile, the seven white lotuses bloomed, and white flames rose, emitting a dazzling glow.
Soon, hundreds of demon beasts around were devoured by the white light.
“Roar!” “Roar!”
Piercing screams echoed, chilling everyone’s hearts.
The Black Tiger Army soldiers on the city walls also saw this scene and couldn’t help but notice it.
They saw a flame field covering tens of feet, the surging fire rising to the sky, devouring countless demon beasts while others fled in panic.
Soon after, a young man emerged from the flames. His body was covered with blood-red aura, and wherever he passed, everything was blood-red.
The young man swiftly flew through the demon beasts, and his dazzling knife light howled, cutting down the fleeing demon beasts like wheat.
Releasing the killing intent alone was enough to intimidate these low-level demonic beasts to the point of instability. The reason for attacking was to increase points and lessen the pressure on the other Black Tiger Army’s city defenders.
Just like a gust of wind sweeping fallen leaves, he swiftly harvested the demon beasts on his path and finally arrived before the Golden Hou Beast.
Shrouded in killing intent, the Golden Hou Beast felt its soaring demon energy being suppressed, and the blood in its body started to become violent.
However, it was a late-stage fifth-rank demon beast, although it was also affected by the Slaughter Conception, the influence wasn’t substantial, and it soon recovered.
Shh…
At the very moment, the Golden Hou Beast recovered, the terrifying knife light and sharp knife energy had already approached its body.
Such a fast knife!
Such a terrifying explosion of power!
The Golden Hou Beast was astonished by the speed and attack unleashed by this seemingly insignificant human.
“Roar!”
The golden light on the Golden Hou Beast’s body surged, resisting the sharp knife aura. Its demon energy gathered to form a massive golden shield, blocking the speed of the falling knife light.
Soon, the golden shield was torn apart, and the long knife continued to slash down. If everything went as expected, the Golden Hou Beast would be cut in half by this slash.
The White Scale Purple Gold Knife was a superior true artifact, with a third rank Slaughter Conception and Pure Yang Strong Origin reinforcement; When pushed to its limit, breaking through the Golden Hou Beast’s defense wouldn’t be a problem.
That was what Lu Yun thought, and he almost thought this attack would be successful.
As expected, after the Golden Hou Beast’s golden shield was shattered, its expression changed, and its golden fur stood erect. Immediately, its vigorous demon energy circulated rapidly, stopping the long knife in midair.
A gleam of cunning success filled the ruthless eyes of the Golden Hou Beast. Although it was merely at the late stage of the fifth rank, it contained a trace of ancient bloodline, which made its true strength even more powerful than the peak of the fifth rank.
Its huge mouth opened, and the golden demon energy emerged, quickly condensing into a terrifying golden light ball filled with horrific energy.
“Die!”
The golden light ball shot out, soaring into the sky, forming a terrifying golden light pillar that pierced through everything.
Almost the moment the golden light pillar surged, Lu Yun sensed danger, rolled over and the lightning flashed, narrowly avoiding the powerful penetrating light pillar.
“What a cunning demon beast!” Lu Yun, who had escaped danger, looked at the Golden Hou Beast with a more solemn expression, as it was much more formidable than the giant python he had previously slain, and even more treacherous and cunning.
If it hadn’t been for his quick detection of danger, and his prompt decision to evade without hesitation, he would have been killed by the opponent’s surprise attack.
“The more powerful the demon beast, the closer their wisdom is to that of humans. In a battle of life and death, the difference between victory and defeat is often a fine line, and one must not be too complacent.”
This time, Lu Yun’s understanding of the demon beasts deepened once again..
