Chapter 851: Chapter 871: The Demon Race Strikes Again?_1

Beast Tide Attack?

The people in the city panicked all at once. They were all aware of the horrible consequences of a beast tide attack. Once the city was broken, only a very few strong cultivators could escape, while the low-level cultivators and ordinary people would become blood food for demon beasts.

Lin Chen stared in disbelief. Not again?

Out of the wolf’s den, and into a tiger’s den?

Gu Yuexi’s gaze was equally incredulous, and she said speechlessly, "What should we do? Should we flee now or wait?"

Before Lin Chen could speak, a large number of black dots had appeared on the distant horizon, flying towards them in a dark and dense formation.

When they looked back, there were also many black dots in the opposite direction, quickly approaching.

Encirclement!

Lin Chen’s heart sank: "There’s no time. If we go out now, we’ll be easy targets and will surely be besieged by the ten thousand demons. Let’s wait and see. If the city can’t hold, we’ll try to break through then. At that time, there will be many people breaking through, and we won’t stand out as much."

Gu Yuexi looked in the direction of the City Lord’s Mansion: "Shall we go to the City Lord’s Mansion?"

Lin Chen managed a bitter smile: "Let’s take a look. If we can help, we will. After all, there are so many people in the city. Once the city is broken, who knows how many will die? We don’t seek to fight to the death here, but to clear our conscience."

"Okay!"

The two soared into the sky and headed straight for the City Lord’s Mansion.

City Lord’s Mansion.

City Lord Zuo Xincheng took to the sky, hovering above the City Lord’s Mansion, her clear voice echoing throughout the city.

"I am City Lord Zuo Xincheng. The beast tide is attacking. Activate the Spiritual Arrays, and those stationed here must guard their positions well. The rest of the cultivators should gather at the square in front of the City Lord’s Mansion. We will fight together."

"I have sent a distress signal. As long as we hold on for one day, Huolin Dongtian will send reinforcements. The longer we hold out, the more relief troops and the stronger they will be."

"I don’t care if you are a cultivator from Jucheng City or just passing by, at this moment, we only have a chance at survival if we fight side by side with all our might. If the city is breached, we will all die!"

Lin Chen and Gu Yuexi flew to the square in front of the City Lord’s Mansion, where hundreds of cultivators had already gathered, and more were continually arriving.

Faced with the overwhelming tide of beasts, everyone chose to unite and fight against the demon beasts.

Everyone understood that there might be a slim chance of survival if they stuck together, while fleeing individually would most likely lead to certain death.

"Nascent Soul strength and above, to the left. Golden Core in the middle, others to the right."

The teams quickly separated, with twelve Nascent Soul cultivators, about thirty Golden Core cultivators, and around three hundred Foundation Building and Qi Cultivation cultivators.

At the same time, the overwhelming tide of demon beasts had already pressed in. Countless demonic beasts in the sky and on the ground launched an attack on the spiritual energy shield.

The Ling Stone Cannons began roaring, bombarding the demon beast horde with countless spirit stones, killing them and turning them into a rain of blood and flesh, falling from the sky.

Tens of Spiritual Arrays shot into the sky. A large amount of spiritual energy was extracted from the spirit stones and turned into waves of spiritual energy, which flowed along the Array Formation pillars to the Spirit Qi Shield above the city.

Looking at this scene, Lin Chen was shocked. How many spirit stones were being consumed every second at this rate?

This was much crazier than when he guarded Bai Tao City!

Although the attack back then was led by a Transforming God cultivator accompanied by Nascent Soul cultivators, the current tide of demonic beasts was sky-full, numbering in the tens of thousands!

Will the spirit stones hold?

Zuo Xincheng looked up at the sky with an undisguised anxiety in her eyes.

Jucheng City had been peaceful for a thousand years. Why did a beast tide attack suddenly occur?

The beast tide surrounded them from all directions, clearly an organized and planned attack. Who was orchestrating and planning this?

She subconsciously remembered the rumors she had heard a few days ago about the appearance of the Demon Emperor’s Successor, which made an idea rise in her heart.

Thousands of years ago, the Demon Emperor rose to power, established the Demon Country in Dongshengzhou and was unstoppable. They even conquered Central Divine State but were later stopped by the Human Emperor and due to internal strife within the demon race, they retreated. Would the demon race rise again now?

"There are too many demon beasts, and the spiritual energy shield is under too much pressure. We must take the initiative to attack and reduce the pressure on the spiritual energy shield."

Zuo Xincheng regained her focus and turned to say: "The twelve Nascent Soul cultivators will form an assault team with me, go out and fight, disrupt the formation and rhythm of the beast tide’s attack. Don’t stray too far from me, and if you encounter a strong enemy, retreat immediately."

"Alright!"

Zuo Xincheng waved her hand, and twelve tokens flew to Lin Chen and the others: "These are Pass Tokens. Don’t lose them, or else there will be endless troubles!"

"Yes!"

Zuo Xincheng watched as everyone attached their tokens before taking off into the sky, "Go!"

Twelve Nascent Soul cultivators followed Zuo Xincheng, flying at a low altitude before rushing out from the eastern part of Jucheng City.

Zuo Xincheng led the way, a long scabbard on her back from which countless flying swords spewed forth. Like living beings, they each rushed towards the demon beasts in front of them.

The flying swords glittered like a cluster of stars, unstoppable and instantly clearing a large area of demon beasts.

"Follow me and don’t run around."

Lin Chen instructed Gu Yuexi and unsheathed his San Sheng Sword, rushing out of the spiritual energy shield.
