Chapter 159: Falling Short [Asking for Subscription]
The "Gripon Beast" is a monster beast with the head and wings of an eagle, but its body is like a lion, and it belongs to the beast rather than the bird.
The peculiar body structure allows the "Gripenmon" to fly like a bird and run on land like a beast, which can be said to have an advantage in battle.
The "Eagle Lion Beast" that attacked Dong Jianping not only had a grade as high as a third-order upper grade, but also mastered the power of two types of spells, wind and fire.
Even after Zhou Yang intervened, the strength of the two of them was only barely tied with this strange beast, and there was no chance to kill the other party at all.
Fortunately, after seeing the "Eagle Lion Beast", the other demon beasts did not dare to step forward and intervene because of its might, otherwise the two of them were afraid that they would only have the only way to escape from the city.
"Zhou Daoyou, do you have a way to retreat from the enemy? This kind of demon beast is quite intelligent, as long as we injure it and let it understand that we are not easy to provoke, it will naturally give up attacking us!"
Dong Jianping had fought fiercely with the demon beast before, and his mana consumption was greater than Zhou Yang's, and at this time, seeing that with Zhou Yang's help, he still couldn't drive away the eagle lion beast, so he couldn't help but be a little anxious.
When Zhou Yang heard this, the look in his eyes moved, of course he had a way to injure the Eagle Lion Beast, as long as he sacrificed the "Qianyang Heavenly Sword", he would definitely be able to repel this Eagle Lion Beast.
However, once the "Qianyang Heavenly Sword" is used, it must take a year to recuperate before it can be used again, just to repel an eagle lion beast, it is not worth it.
Therefore, he finally shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Dong Daoyou can't help but think too highly of Zhou, the strength of this eagle lion beast is definitely not worse than that of a ninth-layer cultivator, how can Zhou be able to repel such a powerful demon beast!"
"This ...... Hey, it's Dong who lost his words, I'm sorry!"
Dong Jianping let out a long sigh, but when he came back to his senses, he also understood that his requirements were difficult for some strong people, so he couldn't help but sigh and apologize to Zhou Yang, and then continued to fight with Zhou Yang without saying a word.
In this way, after the two of them fought with the Gripen for another quarter of an hour, the turning point finally appeared.
This turning point came from Jia Yunzhen, a monk in the Purple Mansion period who had never made a move.
Every time the "Beast Tide" attacks the city, the high-level human monks and the high-level demon beasts will form a tacit understanding, that is, if one party does not send a high-level existence to participate in the battle, the other high-level existence will definitely not easily go into action.
Previously, Jia Yunzhen and the Purple Mansion Stage cultivators just issued an order and didn't want to break this rule first.
Because compared with the high-level demon beasts in the entire "Beast Tide", the high-level existence on the side of Zhenyue Immortal City is definitely not as many as that of the demon beasts.
If the human race breaks this rule first, it can only force those high-level demon beasts to appear in advance, and then force Ren Tianxing, the city lord, to open the city protection array in advance.
The Great Protective Array cannot be opened lightly, because in this kind of "Beast Tide", as long as the Great Protective Array is opened, the spirit stones consumed every day are an astronomical amount, and all the spiritual stones stored in the treasure house of Zhenyue Immortal City may not be enough to consume the Great Protective Array for half a year.
Therefore, every time the "Beast Tide" attacks, the human monks will not open the city protection array to attract low-level demon beasts to impact the city wall, and wait until most of the cannon fodder in these "beast tides" is wiped out, and then open the city protection array to resist the attack of high-level demon beasts.
On the demon beast side, because the "Beast Tide" was originally launched to impact the human immortal cultivation realm in order to consume the surplus demon beasts in the Broken Cloud Mountain Range, even if he knew the plans of the human monks, he pretended not to know and did not appear easily.
Anyway, these low-level demon beasts were not ready to be brought back when they were driven out, and of course they were not willing to use their lives to open the way for these useless cannon fodder.
But now, Jia Yun really made a move.
I saw him stretch out his hand and pat the storage bag, and in an instant, thirteen silver lights flew out of his storage bag, and thirteen flying swords with silver light flashed into the air.
Then he pinched the sword trick with both hands, and the thirteen silver flying swords instantly turned into thirteen silver sword rainbows and swept towards the demon beasts on the city's head.
Wherever the silver sword rainbow passed, no matter what kind of demon beast it was, it was all cut off on the spot, pierced through the body, and died so much that it could no longer die.
Zhou Yang also had a silver sword rainbow flying from their side, and slashed the eagle lion beast they were hosting.
However, this Eagle Lion Beast is also really powerful, the silver sword rainbow that is almost certain to death to other demon beasts is actually forced out of its original form by a blue and red pillar of light spewing out of its mouth, revealing the flying sword itself.
Well?
It seemed that he didn't expect that his attack would be blocked by a third-order high-grade demon beast, and Jia Yunzhen, who was distracted from controlling more than a dozen flying sword attacks, couldn't help but look at Zhou Yang and them coldly.
Although he only glanced at it like this, the bloody aura and killing intent accumulated by killing the demon beast on his body were still transmitted to the Gripon Beast through his eyes.
The Gripper Beast, which was already a little sluggish because of the spewing out of the blue-red pillar of light, couldn't help but shudder after feeling the cold killing intent and the rich bloody aura, and its brown and yellow eyes instantly showed an extremely frightened color.
It let out a loud eagle's cry from its mouth, and with a flap of its wings, it wanted to escape the walls and return to the mountains.
However, at this moment, Zhou Yang, who had been guarding Xuanshui Island against its attack, suddenly opened his mouth and squirted.
I saw a flash of golden light, and a three-foot-long sword qi that was extremely sharp instantly slashed at the root of the left wing of the eagle lion beast that was about to fly.
Originally, the eagle lion beast had cyan iron feathers on its wings that were difficult to be injured by flying swords, and its defense was extremely strong, and an idle attack could not hurt its wings at all.
However, the connection between its wings and the lion's body is not covered with this kind of iron feathers, only a thick layer of skin to defend against attacks.
This layer of thick skin is okay to defend against Zhou Yang's third-order lower-grade flying sword attacks, but it is not enough for the "Qianyang Heavenly Sword".
The golden sword qi cut through the root of the eagle lion beast's wings, almost cutting off half of its wings.
Without half of its wings to provide strength and balance support, the huge body of the Hippriff Beast suddenly fell to the ground due to excessive force, and by the time it wanted to get up from the ground and run away, Jia Yunzhen's silver flying sword had already slashed at it again.
But at this moment, the unexpected came again.
The silver flying sword was obviously about to hit the Eagle Lion Beast, but a cyan feather suddenly shot out from outside the city, instantly stopping Jia Yunzhen's flying sword.
When the eagle lion got this opportunity, there was a flash of human surprise in its eyes, and when it dragged its wings, it jumped out of the city and landed under the city.
Zhou Yang witnessed all this the whole time, and he didn't look at the fleeing eagle lion beast again, but looked at the direction where the cyan feather flew from with a wary face.
I saw that in the sky thousands of meters away from the city, a cyan giant eagle with a wingspan of more than ten feet was looking at them on the city wall, and his eyes were full of eagerness.
There was no doubt that the cyan giant eagle that saved the Eagle Lion Beast was a fourth-order demon beast, and it was a fourth-order high-grade demon beast whose cultivation was stronger than Jia Yunzhen.
Obviously, the high-level existence among the demon beasts had been watching the battle, and as soon as Jia Yunzhen, a Purple Mansion Stage cultivator, intervened, they immediately reacted and sent high-level demon beasts of the same level to come over for reinforcements.
Of course, the fourth-order demon beast already had a lot of wisdom, and would not rush into the Zhenyue Immortal City with the forbidden sky magic array like a low-order demon beast.
But as soon as they appeared, the human side would either send high-level monks out of the city to fight them, or they would have to open the city protection array.
"The old man is going to meet this evil beast for a while!"
A cold light flashed in Jia Yunzhen's eyes, and when he raised his hand, he took back the thirteen flying swords that had been released, and then his body moved, and he flew out of the city to fight with the cyan giant eagle.
Because the thirteen silver sword rainbows that Jia Yunzhen had used to clear the field earlier had killed almost half of the remaining demon beasts on the city, Zhou Yang and the others had the privilege of watching this battle between the Purple Mansion Stage monks and the fourth-order demon beasts on the city.
Although Jia Yunzhen's cultivation was lower than the cyan giant eagle, after the battle, the victory and defeat were completely reversed.
Although his thirteen silver flying swords were only of the fourth order, they were rare sets of flying swords, and he seemed to have cultivated an extremely extraordinary set of sword techniques, using this set of sword techniques to control the flying swords, not only making the flying swords like an arm, but also far more powerful than the flying swords of other monks' envoys.
So much so that not long after the two sides fought, the cyan giant eagle completely fell to the upper hand, and was forced to play a game of peek-a-boo with him in the air with his natural advantage in speed.
"Sword formation, he!"
In the sky, Jia Yunzhen seemed to be impatient to play this game of hide and seek with the cyan giant eagle, I saw that he suddenly pinched the sword trick in his hand, and said a word with a solemn face.
Then those silver flying swords that were chasing and intercepting the cyan giant eagle in all directions, as if they had been summoned by some kind of summoning, instantly burst into a silver giant sword that was several feet long in midair.
"Slash!"
As soon as the silver giant sword was formed, Jia Yunzhen pointed at the sword and shook it towards the cyan giant eagle, and said the word "chop" in his mouth.
Before the sound of the word "chop" fell, the silver giant sword in the sky disappeared in place in a flash, and then, as if passing through space, it instantly appeared behind the cyan giant eagle and fell straight towards the cyan giant eagle.
Chirp –
The cyan giant eagle seemed to have a feeling, and a loud cry instantly came out of its mouth, and then the blue light on its body burst out, and in an instant, it turned into a cyan rainbow and flew to the depths of the "beast tide" army behind in a flash.
For a moment, in this empty sky, only dozens of bloody feathers swirled and fell downward.
"The tide of beasts has receded!"
I don't know who let out a cry full of surprise, awakening Zhou Yang's consciousness that was still immersed in the battle between the Purple Mansion Stage monk and the fourth-order high-grade demon beast just now.
He looked beyond the city wall, and saw that the group of demon beasts that were originally surging towards the city wall like the tide of the ocean was indeed as the voice said, like the tide of the ebb tide, and quickly turned around and retreated.
Of course, when these demon beasts retreated, they did not forget to drag away the corpses of the dead demon beasts on the ground, only some of the corpses of the demon beasts that were too close under the city wall, and no demon beasts dared to approach and take them away.
