NFBE Chapter 495 Demonic Invasion of the City
Chapter 495 Demonic Invasion of the City
A chill suddenly rose up, running down my spine straight to the top of my head!
Even though Rong Shu is now a Nascent Soul cultivator and is immune to heat and cold, he was almost startled into a cold sweat!
The baby in Yan Youwei's belly...
impossible!
Huo Yihan has been dead for fourteen years! Not even his ashes remain!
Logically speaking, a woman carries a child for ten months, so the child in Yan Youwei's belly couldn't possibly be Huo Yihan's.
Even though she rationally considered the guess absurd, she couldn't help but think of Huo Yihan's "half-Nightmare" identity. That bastard was a hybrid of human and ghost, born from a Nightmare Clan member through parasitism...
The Nightmare Clan is cunning and unpredictable, and cannot be judged by ordinary standards.
"News has come that a demonic tide has appeared, and several main cities in Tianfu Pass have been attacked one after another. Although no demonic tide has been found in Wuqu Pass yet, just in case, we need to return to the city in advance to set up defenses..." Yun Duan's voice rang out from ahead, interrupting Rong Shu's thoughts.
Rong Shu also quickly checked the contents of the summons in the student decree:
The Tianfu Pass, guarded by the Xiao family; the Tiantong Pass, guarded by the Lin family; and the Lianzhen Pass, guarded by the Yan family… are all under attack from the evil demon tide.
Senior Brother Wu Hua and the others must be doing their best to resist the evil demon right now. No wonder Fourth Senior Brother has been slow to reply to her messages. I thought he was shocked by the truth that "Yun Duan is a woman".
The senior students were all too busy to be distracted.
Rong Shu's mind raced, and he immediately took out the Nine Palaces Mirror again, sending a message:
[Hey, are you free? Could you check for me what Yan Youwei of the second-tier power, the Danxian Sect, has been up to since the end of the Heroes' Gathering? Has she been in close contact with any male cultivators, or has she found a new partner...?]
This is urgent! Please help me find out the truth as soon as possible!
One second, two seconds... less than three seconds later, Duan Yuyan replied: [What happened? Why the rush? Leave it to me!]
After quickly scanning Duan Yuyan's reply, Rong Shu had already returned to Wuqu Pass.
Almost simultaneously, the rapid sound of war drums resounded throughout Wuqu Pass.
"The Demonic Tide is Coming!"
"All Nightmare Suppression Army! Don your armor! Prepare for battle!" A golden light flew out from the Nightmare Suppression Division in the city, and a tall figure stood in the sky, wearing golden armor with a chilling aura.
Yun Duan slightly raised his head and squinted: "The aura of the Integration Stage... This is the commander of the Nightmare Suppression Army at Wuqu Pass."
Within the city, the stirring war drums greatly boosted the morale of the 30,000 Zhenyan soldiers. Almost instinctively, 30,000 red-tasseled spears were raised high, and the roar of voices exploded like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing down.
"Kill! Kill!! Kill!!"
Before Rong Shu's six-person team could regroup with the Jixia team, they were assigned to a post on the city wall by Jiu Xiao's orders.
Hold this place at all costs!
Rong Shu's divine sense spread out like ripples on water—
A reserve army composed of Golden Core stage cultivators was deployed to transport supplies.
Nascent Soul stage cultivators flew to the city wall to control arrow towers and cannon towers, or to cast spells.
Even more Nascent Soul cultivators flew out of the city and, facing the first wave of demonic beasts rushing towards them, slapped down with a palm, annihilating a group of demonic beasts.
At the very front of the monstrous tide below, clearing space after clearing space appeared.
In the blink of an eye, countless ferocious demons surged forth, filling one gap after another. With a few leaps, their sharp claws and teeth snaked around the city walls.
The surface of the city wall lit up with bursts of array light. The demon that was originally lying on the city wall suddenly roared, and gray smoke with the smell of charcoal rose from its body.
Less than half an incense stick's time after the formation was activated, thousands of evil demons were reduced to ashes.
On the city wall, the Nascent Soul stage cultivators were constantly on the move, freely releasing their spiritual energy, which was also accompanied by the whistling of flying arrows and cannons.
Beside him, the others in the Cloud Realm, like the other Nascent Soul stage cultivators, flew out of the city to meet the enemy.
"Junior Sister Rong, this is your first time here, so stay here on the city wall for a while to get used to it..." Xuanhe hurriedly left these words and flew away.
Chenxin, who was also left on the city wall, was forcibly left behind by Yunduan for the same reason.
Moreover, Chen Xin had studied Buddhist and Taoist teachings and remained on the city wall. Under the blessing of the Buddhist aura, he prevented the soldiers defending the city from being affected by the restless and spiritually disturbed energy outside the city.
Chen Xin clasped his hands together and chanted Buddhist scriptures. Behind him, a golden Buddha phantom emerged, and a warm and gentle Buddhist light enveloped the area. Every cultivator bathed in the Buddhist light felt a sense of peace in their hearts, as if some gloom had been dispelled, and they worked even harder to stop the evil demons from attacking the city.
Rong Shu opened his hand and clenched his fist, drawing the Fire Feather Bow!
Draw the bow and nock the arrow!
Her arrow was aimed at the larger demons in the demon tide.
Three arrows fired in unison!
The arrow, having pierced through the massive demon at the front, continued its relentless winds, annihilating more than a dozen smaller demons behind it before finally dissipating.
Seeing that he had only killed less than twenty demons with one arrow, Rong Shu was somewhat dissatisfied.
However, this is the nature of the Spirit-Severing Land; all spiritual energy attacks from cultivators will be halved in power when placed within it.
Therefore, even cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, without the supernatural power of creating an external avatar like those at the Divine Transformation stage, dare not linger in the Land of Severed Spirits for too long.
Now, thanks to the barrier of the Wuqu Pass city walls, Nascent Soul stage cultivators, protected by the great formation, can unleash their spells and pour out their spiritual energy without any worries.
Rong Shu's fingers flew as he drew his bow and shot arrows with great intensity, while he observed the battle situation ahead, especially the Nascent Soul stage cultivators outside the city.
She noticed that every Nascent Soul cultivator, after flying out of the city, would unleash an external avatar, as if wearing a layer of "golden armor," blocking the four elements of the Spirit-Severing Land from the outside.
The attack methods of Nascent Soul stage cultivators mostly rely on supernatural abilities and rarely use ordinary spells to avoid weakening their power.
"...The Demon Lord has been discovered!"
"Here! The Demon Lord is here too!"
Someone stared intently and counted, their eyes widening in horror: "This...how could this be...one, two, three, four..."
"...Seven Demon Lords have joined forces to attack the city!!!"
