Chapter 222 Late Jindan Period

"Hmph!"

A cold snort resounded through the sky, and the old man with the hooked nose stepped out of the air. The demon-gathering banner in his hand suddenly expanded to a size of ten feet, and the demonic energy on the banner soared into the sky.

A few spells were cast on it, and the runes on the banner began to jump, and infinite demonic energy gathered towards the banner.

"Moo!"

A huge yellow bull appeared, roaring to the sky, with ferocious horns, exuding a terrifying pressure.

"Mountain-opening bull!"

A cry of surprise sounded, and two figures, a man and a woman, flew out of the demon-rejecting city.

The two people exuded a majestic aura, and they were undoubtedly Yuanying Zhenjun.

The one on the left was an old woman, wearing a black skirt, with her hair tied behind her head, giving people a dignified feeling.

The one on the right was burly, wearing a red robe, with a figure as tall as a pine tree, and a solemn face.

"You two old bastards finally came out!"

The old man with the hooked nose sneered, waved the demon-gathering banner, and the mountain-opening bull roared and rushed straight towards the Wanmu Linhai formation.

"Bold!"

The red-robed man and the black-skirted old woman attacked at the same time, and a spiritual light and a ball of fire blasted out from their hands and hit the bull.

The bull's phantom horn emitted a dazzling yellow light, and at the same time, the two were also blown away for hundreds of steps, with extremely ugly faces.

At the same time, the mountain-opening bull rushed straight towards the formation, breaking through the defense of the formation all the way.

"Not good!"

The red-robed old man and the black-skirted old woman felt depressed. They wanted to use the Wanmu Linhai formation to resist for a while, but they didn't expect the demon soul of the mountain-opening bull to appear.

This was one of the former demon ancestors of the Tianji Mountains. It was a fifth-level demon, equivalent to the human race's god-transforming venerable. Even if it was just a demon soul, it was extremely powerful.

The Ten Thousand Trees Sea Array turned into a green light and dissipated between heaven and earth. The sky and earth were filled with a bloody smell, and countless monster corpses lay in a pool of blood.

However, the number of deaths was not large. Among the 100,000 monsters, only about one-tenth died.

Even if there was no Kaishan Mangniu to break the array, so many monsters would not be trapped for long when they attacked the array at the same time.

"Cry!"

The old man with the hooked nose suddenly transformed into a monster bird with a wingspan of ten feet, black light flowing all over his body, like an eagle, with black feathers all over his body.

"Swish--"

The black eagle flapped its wings and flew high at an extremely fast speed. It appeared above the old woman in black skirt in a flash, and its sharp claws grabbed her.

At the same time, another old man in black robe turned into a colorful monster tiger, exuding a ferocious aura, and attacked the old man in red robe.

The four Yuanying Zhenjuns immediately fought in the night sky, and their powerful power ravaged the sky and stirred up thousands of miles of clouds.

On the city wall, countless human cultivators threw various talismans at the monsters, self-destructed magic weapons, and roared continuously.

Countless monsters screamed and wailed, and were killed or injured by the explosion, but they were still fearless and attacked the formation frantically.

However, the monsters were fearless. There were more than a dozen third-level monsters, and they launched a fierce attack on the city, causing heavy losses to the human side. Many city walls were broken by monsters, and countless people were killed and injured.

"Hehe... The human race is really fragile and can't stand a single blow!"

The eagle claw black bird spoke in human language, and looked at the scene of blood flowing in front of him, with excitement in his eyes.

"Haha, the demon king is right, these weak humans are too humble and can't bear the iron hoof of our demons."

"Kill, kill as much as you want!"

The army of monsters cheered and jumped for joy, as if the human race was already a lamb to be slaughtered, and they were allowed to slaughter it.

"Why haven't the reinforcements come yet?"

A Jindan cultivator in the city screamed. With so many monsters, they would have to kill them for a long time even if they stood there and didn't fight back.

What's more, so many low-level monsters were just like locusts, overwhelming people.

"Damn it, what should I do?"

A young cultivator saw his fellow disciples fall one after another, and his eyes widened with anger. He gritted his teeth and sacrificed a fireball talisman.

But this time, as soon as the talisman left his hand, a sense of crisis came, and a snow-white wolf-shaped monster appeared behind him silently.

"Puff!"

The wolf-shaped monster opened its mouth and a sharp fang pierced into the young cultivator's neck.

Blood splattered, and the young cultivator widened his eyes in disbelief.

Then the whole body fell limply and died.

"Ah--!"

The white wolf-shaped monster roared, showing its presence.

Then, countless monsters rushed in, instantly drowning the young monk's corpse and gnawing on it.

"Evil beast, I'll fight you!"

"Beast, stop being so presumptuous!"

"Kill..."

One after another, the human cultivators fell, and the monsters became more and more courageous. The difference in numbers between the two sides was too large, and they could not stop these monsters.

"Ah... I'm not willing..."

A human cultivator in the early stage of Jindan punched out with both fists and repelled a third-level monster, but was instantly drowned by the beasts swarming in from behind.

"Boom!"

A huge explosion sounded, and a large number of monsters were directly blown into ashes.

As if it aroused the blood of the human race, one explosion after another resounded throughout the battlefield. Although many monsters were killed, the price was the souls of the people.

At this time, a roar came from the sky: "Everyone retreat quickly!"

The cultivators in the Juyao City heard this and immediately fled everywhere. Some monsters chased after them, wanting to take this opportunity to devour a large amount of human flesh and blood.

"Boom!"

A violent explosion sounded, and a high tower collapsed.

This tower was originally used to guard the city gate and the formation, but now it has been breached by monsters, and the city is in danger.

At this moment, whether outside or inside the city, there are all kinds of corpses everywhere, whether human or monster, they are all eaten by living monsters.

At the same time, the Zhenyao City in Lanzhou and the Pingyao City in Chengzhou have been breached by the monsters, and a large number of cultivators have died tragically.

Three Yuanying Zhenjun died in the battle, and two Yuanying Zhenjun were seriously injured.

Only the Zhuyao City in Huangzhou resisted the impact of the monsters.

A month later, the news of the loss of three border cities spread throughout the Great Chu Dynasty, and the whole nation was shocked.

Although there have been cases of border cities being lost in history, it is the first time that three lines of defense have been lost together.

In Zhongzhou City, in a room of an inn, a golden glow enveloped Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng sat on the bed with his eyes slightly closed, and the rich spiritual energy of heaven and earth continued to gather around him.

Suddenly, Li Changsheng's body trembled violently, and then a powerful force surged from his body.

He slowly opened his eyes, and two rays of light shot out, hitting the roof beams, making a "crackling" sound.

"The late Jindan stage, finally broke through!"

Li Changsheng murmured to himself, and then showed a look of joy.

Zhongzhou City is the place where the dragon veins of Da Chu converge, and the spiritual energy is extremely abundant. He has been in seclusion for several years and finally broke through the late Jindan stage.

"The late Jindan stage has arrived, and the Yuanying stage is not far away!"

Thinking of this, he showed a look of longing in his eyes.

"Next, I have to get more resources!"

Thinking of resources, he had a headache again. He is now penniless. Not only that, he owes Xu Qingyuan and Heng Youming 30,000 spirit stones each.

"Hmm?"

He suddenly took out the communication array plate, and a spell was cast into it, and only heard Xu Qingyuan's anxious voice.

"Daoyou Li, you finally came out of retreat. Daoyou Heng and I are going to return to the North Sea and are waiting for you!"

"Return to the North Sea, what's going on?"

Li Changsheng frowned. He had only been here for less than ten years, and he was planning to get a piece of land and establish a branch here!

"The beast tide has arrived ahead of schedule. The demon clan has gathered millions of soldiers, and even many Yuanying Zhenjun have fallen. With our cultivation level, we probably won't even be able to make waves."

"What?"
