Chapter 125: Humanity’s Counterattack!
Chapter 125: Humanity’s Counterattack!
In an instant, the entire battlefield fell silent.
Everyone looked at this scene with astonishment.
Li Ran, whose figure stood firm like an iron tower, was emitting solid blood energy.
As for the insufferably arrogant Thunderous Feral Lion, its body was constantly twitching as blood gushed out from the hole in its chest.
The terrifying life force of a Nascent Soul Realm demon beast caused it to not immediately die despite having its heart shattered.
Its icy blue eyes were completely devoid of greed and ruthlessness. Only pain and pleading remained.
It was scared as it struggled to survive!
Li Ran’s dark red eyes were cold as he raised his right foot and stepped on Thunderous Feral Lion’s head.
Its terrified eyes were fiercely stomped.
Red and white liquid splattered in all directions.
Nascent Soul Realm Thunderous Feral Lion—dead!
This bloody battle between humans and demon beasts only took an incense stick’s worth of time.
However, it was enough to decide who lives and who dies, who stands and who falls!
Thunder Lion’s massive corpse dimmed, and its ice-blue eyes darkened.
It did not even possess the divine ability of a primordial spirit leaving its body. The destruction of its flesh was death in the truest sense.
Li Ran raised his head and swept his indifferent eyes over the beasts.
The two groups of demon beasts were fighting, and their guts were about to split apart!
At this moment, they finally realized that the human before them was no prey at all.
He was a predator!
Li Ran took a step forward, and the demon beasts retreated in unison. Fearful sobs were emitted from their mouths.
He stepped forward again, and the demon beast retreated again.
A single person forced the entire beast tide to retreat.
Li Ran’s cold voice rang out, “Disciples of Youluo Temple, listen to me!”
“Yes!” Several disciples flew behind him.
They obeyed Li Ran’s request and formed a defensive formation to defend against the demon beasts while trying their best to ensure their safety.
Although their faces were slightly pale, not a single person had been reduced!
Li Ran looked at the group of beasts in front of him with a sinister smile on his face. “Begin the hunt!”
“Kill!” The disciples’ eyes were filled with fervor as they charged towards the beasts.
Yue Jianli looked at his figure, her cheeks red and heart pounding.
This was Li Ran!
Stepping on the flying sword, she rose into the air, her voice loud and clear, “Myriad Sword Pavilion’s disciples, listen to my orders, counterattack with me!”
“Kill!”
“Send them back to the Grand Myriad Mountain Range!”
“For the glory of humanity!”
The cultivators feel their blood boiling. They used their remaining spiritual power to charge at the beasts!
The horn signifying counterattack officially sounded.
The defensive line that had been pushed to the entrance of the city was pushing the entire beast tide back!
The demon beasts were scared out of their wits by Li Ran.
Originally, they were driven by their instincts to hunt, yet at this moment, their fighting spirit was completely gone, and they turned around and fled while wailing in pain!
Awoo awoo!
In their panic, many of their clansmen were trampled to death.
At this moment, the anger accumulated in the hearts of the cultivators had finally been vented!
Divine light immediately erupted. Dao techniques rumbled, illuminating the entire night sky.
Li Ran did not attack.
He stood with his hands behind his back. Even though his clothes were tattered, his presence became more dazzling.
Lin Langyue stared blankly at the side of his face, her heart filled with indescribable emotions.
This was an unruly devil.
He disdained the Righteous Path, hated the Devil Path, and didn’t even care about the top sects’ geniuses.
Such a person was willing to jump into the beast tide and fight the Nascent Soul Realm Beast King to the death to protect the mortals of Southern Wind City!
If he hadn’t used a primitive and bloody method to kill the Thunderous Feral Lion and intimidate the demon beasts, the beast tide would probably not have retreated!
“Li Ran…”
“What kind of person are you?”
—
The morning light dimmed and the sky broke.
The night was finally torn apart by the sunlight, and the beast tide completely dispersed.
The area outside Southern Wind City was devastated.
The stench of blood suffused the ruins, and the yellow soil was dyed jet black and dark red by blood.
The damaged corpses were ferocious and terrifying, and they covered the plains, blocking all the horizon.
The saber and sword had were scattered around, and the smoke had yet to disperse…
However, this apocalyptic scene contained hope.
The cultivators’ clothes were disheveled, and their entire bodies were bathed in blood without a trace of a high and mighty cultivator.
However, their faces were brimming with excited smiles.
In the end, the beast tide failed to breach through the human defense line.
None of the citizens of Southern Wind City died.
This was a great victory for the human race.
Creak
The gates of Southern Wind City slowly opened.
The commoners surged out of the city like a tide.
Although they were hiding in the city, they knew just how bitter the battle outside was with their heaven-shaking roars and rumbling Dao techniques.
The immortals who normally stood high and above were risking their lives for them!
The City Lord of Southern Wind City passed through the crowd and arrived in front of the cultivators. He knelt down and kowtowed.
“Thank you, Immortals, for saving the citizens of Southern Wind City!”
The citizens behind him also knelt on the ground…
“Thank you Immortals for saving our lives!”
“Thank you, Immortals!”
—
Among these people were a white-haired old man, a child with buns, and a woman holding an infant… Without exception, their eyes were filled with gratitude and worship.
Looking at these lively faces, the cultivators felt a bit thankful.
They were glad that they had not escaped the battle, that they had chosen to fight for mortals, and that they had successfully defended the city gates.
“Perhaps this is also one of the objectives of cultivation?“
Next, the commoners carried stretchers and helped the injured cultivators into the city.
The city wall was silent.
The cultivators known as “backup” watched this scene with bitter expressions.
Unexpectedly, the beast tide was repelled.
The expression of the Deacon of the Supreme Dao Palace was extremely unsightly.
If this matter were to spread out, not only would it bring disgrace to the sect, he would also be severely punished!
Deacon Liu’s eyes shifted. “Let’s go, let’s go!”
“That’s right, the backup has also contributed!”
“That’s right. We also participated!”
“Just now, I even dropped a handful of pills!”
This group of people shamelessly began to shout.
Just as they were about to walk down the wall, a young man with a white face stood in front of them.
“I’ll give you ten breaths to disappear. Otherwise…”
Bai Jiangye said indifferently, “I’ll kill you all.”
The Death Prison disciples behind him surrounded them.
Deacon Liu gulped. “Bai Jiangye, didn’t you just stand by and watch? What do you mean?”
Bai Jiangye’s smile was brilliant. “That’s right, I just watched from the sidelines because the lives of mortals are no different from the life of livestock in my eyes.
“I was merely looking at you guys with displeasure. Do you have any objections?”
Deacon Liu frowned. “You!”
Bai Jiangye’s teeth were snow-white. “You still have five breaths left.”
“Bai Jiangye!“
“Four.”
Deacon Liu stomped and flew away with the disciples of the Supreme Dao Palace.
The other sects and wandering cultivators didn’t dare to stay any longer and fled.
The notoriety of the Death Prison was no joke!
Bai Jiangye turned around and looked at Li Ran’s tall and straight figure with his smile fading away.
“How can he be this strong…”
