Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Beast Tide Recedes
The night is not young, and the world is dead.
The night was torn apart by the roar, the darkness was cut by the sword, and the first rays of dawn were cast like divine light, staining the entire Star City and the vast land.
The tide of beasts seemed to have received a call from someone, and the tide quickly receded.
Only the huge body of the mysterious beast with desolate eyes and no breath was left, and its face was even more hideous and terrifying, with corpses all over the field and rivers of blood.
The upper part of the tall city wall of Star City was filled with red blood marks, like red moss, which was shocking, and the lower part of the city wall, above the ground and below ten meters, was directly recessed for more than ten meters, retaining the terrifying impact force of the mysterious beast.
After a sleepless night, the people on the city wall, who didn't care about treating the injuries on their bodies, sat directly on the ground and fell asleep.
Lei Xiang lay on the edge of the city wall, his red hair scattered, like a wounded lion, Lin Feng supported his body with a silver spear, the silver armor on his shoulder shattered, revealing a bloody shoulder, and he didn't know which kind of bird and beast he had been scratched by.
Xiao Tianyin supported her brother Xiao Tianmiao, these two sisters contributed the least and the situation was slightly better.
Jin also came to form a large figure and lay on the cold ground, Jin did not change the pillow on his thighs, and slept soundly with his eyes closed.
The face of Huang Yuyu, the city lord of the North Gate, was no longer beautiful pink, pale as paper, she exhaled deeply, walked to the city wall, and looked down.
It was a battlefield filled with gunpowder, and the corpses and stumps of the beasts were piled up all over the ground, and the blood was flowing from itself.
The snow-white silver armor of the Thunder Cloud Chasing Beast had been dyed red, and the little boy sitting on his back was also covered in blood, lying on his stomach tiredly.
The huge golden ape is gone, I don't know where the road has gone?
A young man covered in blood, step by step towards the [Quadrangle] where the purple-golden light was slightly circulating, his face was covered with blood, and he couldn't see his expression clearly, and the blood of the mysterious beast was flowing down his hair and broken clothes......
Only the knife in his hand, not dripping blood, cold light like water, moving.
The long night, the non-stop fighting, the non-stop slashing and slaughtering, I don't know how many times the Yuan Force in the body has been exhausted, and how many times it has been replenished by the Xuanjing Stone and the Yuan Force in the air.
After a rough estimate, a total of more than twenty high-grade Xuanjing stones were consumed, and the sword techniques on the white jade wall in the twenty [White Jade Star Picking Tower] were mastered.
At this moment, every muscle in Xin Mu's body seemed to be burned, it was already sore and numb, and every tendon was stinging as if it had been torn.
This kind of crazy fighting method, or extreme cultivation mode, is not something that ordinary people can adopt, it not only consumes yuan power, overdraft physical strength, but also consumes spiritual power.
Even if Xin Mu had the [Two-Way Channel] opened by the "Nine Turns Demon God Decision" and had enough Xuanjing Stones, if he didn't have the strong spiritual power of the [Eight Seal Runic Master], I am afraid that he would have died of mental exhaustion at this moment.
On the [Quadruple Array] set up by Xin Mu before, the purple-gold light had dimmed, and the huge insect beast in the array was exhausted, and it had no strength to retreat, and it was paralyzed on the ground like mud.
The power of the [Quadruple Array] is really good, Xin Mu is satisfied with this formation in the "Ancient Formation Diagram", but it is too expensive! Just this small scale [Quadruple Array] consumes 32 primary Xuanjing stones and four high-grade Xuanjing stones.
You must know that these Xuanjing stones are enough for a cultivator to ascend from the middle of the Yuan Dan Realm to the Yuan Dan Realm.
Thinking about it, Xin Mu was a little distressed, it would be better to use this formation less in the future!
A little cold light arrived first, and the star-picking knife left an illusory knife shadow, revealing its indestructible power, splitting the head of the sixth-level Xuan Beast Hexagonal Insect Beast, and an earthy yellow demon crystal the size of a watermelon floated out, which was received by Xin Mu into the Dragon Soul Ring.
"The 10,000th ......"
It's bad! Xin Mu cursed himself in his heart, and he even forgot how many demon crystals he had collected! He had to make a rough estimate, and after one night, it was estimated that he had collected more than 10,000 of them!
Demon crystals of different sizes and colors come from different levels of mysterious beasts.
Strange! Most of these mysterious beasts were originally mortal enemies, why would they form a group to attack Star City together? Xin Mu looked at the retreating beast tide, and a cloud of doubts rose in his heart.
Suddenly, a trace of clarity flashed in his mind, the organized and disciplined activities of the Xuan Beast, it was not the first time he had seen it, when he was in the Giant Wolf Valley, wasn't he besieged by countless tiger-tailed wolves?!
Could it be them! Those bird-faced people who can blow the [Hexagonal Trumpet], who controlled the Xuan Beasts and let them attack Star City and attack the cultivators?
Damn the birdmen! Why are they doing this? Is it just to kill themselves?
Thinking of this, Xin Mu also felt that his idea was ridiculous, hundreds of thousands of mysterious beasts, thousands of miles away, just to hunt down and kill a little boy in the Yuan Dan realm like himself?!
The advance and retreat are orderly, organized, and disciplined, and it is simply a huge army of mysterious beasts.
They can't be here to kill themselves! They must have some other purpose!
Xin Mu thought about it, but he couldn't grasp any clues for a while, so he simply stopped thinking about it, and was ready to clean up and go back to sleep well.
"Oh ha, what a spectacular battlefield!"
"That's a lot of loot!Hurry up and notify the rest of the [Water Broken Sword Sect] to come and clean up the battlefield!"
The sharp horns and fangs of many mysterious beasts, animal skins and bones are all valuable materials for refining weapons or alchemy, and the corpses of mysterious beasts everywhere are naturally trophies everywhere.
A burst of unbridled laughter suddenly sounded behind Xin Mu, and he didn't ask who killed these mysterious beasts, so he ordered to start snatching.
Ten men rushed out of the north gate, forming a circle and surrounding Xin Mu.
The leader was a thin-eyed young man in a python robe, with a cold and ruthless face.
Huang Yuyu's face immediately became extremely ugly, this thin-eyed young man was none other than Teng Zhengying, the city lord of Dongcheng and the lackey of the [Broken Water Sword Sect].
"Xin Mu, I said a long time ago, the moment you walk out of Star City is your death!" Teng Zhengying's eyes flashed with a sinister cold light.
After they learned the news that Xin Mu was fighting the beast tide outside the city, they rushed over as soon as possible, preparing to wait for Xin Mu to be injured and retreat into the city to kill him.
I didn't expect the wait to be overnight.
The beast tide receded, and Xin Mu didn't die, which surprised them a little.
But after a night of fighting, slashing and slashing all the time, without the slightest stop, even the gods have exhausted their yuan power, exhausted, and turned into a little lamb with no power to restrain the chicken.
This is the perfect time to kill Xin Mu easily.
Teng Zhengying couldn't miss it!
Lin Feng first found out that Xin Mu was surrounded, and immediately called Lei Xiang, Xiao Tianmiao, Jin Buchang and others, but unfortunately they were all exhausted at this time, although they wanted to save Xin Mu and help Xin Mu very much, but they couldn't help themselves and couldn't do anything.
The Yuan Force in Huang Yuyu's body has also consumed two-thirds, and the current power is only in the Heavenly Xuan Realm, and he can't confront these treacherous villains who are waiting for work.
"Teng Zhengying, as the city lord of the East Gate, you actually took advantage of the danger of others, and you still have to be shameless!"
"Despicable villain! You take advantage of the danger of others, even if you fight more and less, and plot to besiege and kill!"
"Teng Zhengying, you are simply the most shameless despicable villain in the world!"
Countless people, standing up and looking down at the city, many of them were people who had been stranded outside the city before, silently grateful for Xin Mu's life-saving grace, plus Xin Mu showed his might last night, slaughtering the beast tide, and set up a very high prestige in the hearts of everyone.
At this moment, everyone was biased towards Xin Mu and scolded Teng Zhengying. They can't wait to drown Teng Zhengying, a despicable villain, with a mouthful of spit.
Teng Zhengying's face was cloudy, the green tendons on his forehead were protruding, and his teeth were clucking, becoming the target of everyone, and being scolded by thousands of people was not a good feeling.
Unexpectedly, Xin Mu had gained so many hearts and had so many supporters, so that he, the lord of the East Gate City, was beyond his reach.
Jealousy made the hatred in Teng Zhengying's heart burn.
Kill, must kill him!
Kill him now, at the best of his weakest moments! Otherwise, when he recovers and is full-fledged, it will be difficult to kill him again!
Teng Zhengying immediately made what he thought was the wisest decision, Xin Mu must die!
