Chapter 673: Alone in the Herd
The tide of beasts came endlessly, Su Aotian clenched the iron rod with both hands, and unhurriedly pulled it forward, each stick went down, just the strong wind it carried, it made the spirit beasts in contact break their tendons and fractures, and they staggered, and those spirit beasts that were hit by the iron rod were immediately crushed. When the surging beast tide hit the radius of ten zhang around him, it was like encountering an impassable moat, and he could only slide helplessly to both sides.
If you look down from the sky, under the cover of the endless beast tide, this ten zhang radius of the projectile land is absolutely invisible, as if it does not exist at all, but in fact, this area has become an island in the vast ocean, no matter how the waves hit, but it has always stood tenacious!
The martial artists were already dumbfounded, and they didn't know what was going on, the one who was alone under the city wall, chopping waves in the herd, and being unstoppable, was really the head of the head of the sect who got along with him day and night, Su Aotian? Isn't he also the same as us, a martial artist who can't cultivate? But why are these spirit beasts, which even the immortal elders have a hard time dealing with, are completely free of ferocity and cruelty under his hands, they are as fragile as clay sculptures and wood sculptures, and they will be shattered when they are touched?
And Yan Yushi was also shocked by the strange scene under the city wall, and he didn't know what to say. It is true that with his cultivation, it is not a problem to go back and forth in the beast tide of this level, and he can sway freely, but the strong figure in the beast tide is clearly just a martial artist who can't cultivate!
In Yan Yushi's heart, a thought suddenly popped up, he vaguely felt that what Su Aotian did was not crazy, but premeditated. He angered Zhong Cheng and threw himself into the beast tide, not bent on death, but with sufficient self-confidence and certainty, he was able to resist the attack of this level of beast tide!
However, at this moment, there was no more time left for him, and the Terrans in the stone cottage to think about these things. Because the beast tide blocked by Su Aotian was only an extremely small part, along the wall of the stone cottage, there were already an unknown number of spirit beasts, launching a fierce attack towards the stone cottage!
Their energy had to turn to the spirit beast that pounced on them, and they could only ignore Su Aotian's situation first.
The tragic offensive and defensive battle immediately began, and the fight between man and beast filled every inch of land around the stone wall, and the purpose of both sides was the same, to survive and kill each other.
Yan Yushi immediately discovered the changes in the martial arts, compared to the last time, their efficiency in dealing with spirit beasts has increased by dozens of times, just like Su Aotian, in terms of the accuracy of the blow, the strength and speed of the individual, there has been a too obvious increase, the two martial artists can cooperate to hold a battlement, one person passes the equipment behind him, and the other person strikes on the wall battlement. Although the spirit beasts rushed forward one after another, and the black pressure rushed up endlessly, none of them could successfully grab the city.
At this time, the martial artists have not yet all been put into battle, and there are still fresh forces waiting quietly behind them, once there is a shortage of manpower, they will immediately take over, and the connection in the middle is also orderly, there is not a trace of loopholes for spirit beasts to drill. In the blink of an eye, half an hour passed for the spirit beast to attack the city, and no progress was made!
Seeing that the battle situation was not tight for a while, the immortal cultivators also refocused some of their attention on Su Aotian. And what Su Aotian brought to them was an even greater shock.
Hundreds of thousands of martial artists can make the current defense impregnable, and it can also be attributed to the huge number of people, after all, hundreds of thousands of martial artists, and all of them are strong, and they are not all powerless in the face of ferocious spirit beasts, and Su Aotian is alone, facing a crazy beast group that is far more than a thousand times thousands of times, and he has also managed to guard the ten zhang square square space he spelled out so that the needle cannot be pierced, and the water cannot be splashed!
Even the power and rhythm of his swinging iron rod did not change in the slightest, and his body seemed to have an inexhaustible strength, as if the iron rod in his hand could be wielded until the end of time. Every immortal cultivator who saw him suddenly had the illusion that the time that Su Aotian could hold on would definitely last longer than the beast tide.
Seeing such a situation, Liu Ruyan suddenly had a deep understanding, she completely understood, and also believed what Su Aotian once said, "Everything in the world, if it can be used to the best and perfect, the effect will be very different." "If Su Aotian uses his strength so perfectly, without the slightest waste of empty waste, will he still have spare strength after the beast tide recedes?
However, the development of things is carried out in accordance with objective laws and is not subject to people's subjective will. Su Aotian, including the performance of the martial artists, from the current point of view, can be called perfect, but the characteristic of the development of the beast tide is that it is getting stronger and stronger, like the endless waves in the ocean, after a wave, there are bigger and stronger waves to follow.
The types of spirit beasts are generally similar to the situation of the human race, the martial artists occupy the majority, and less than half of the immortal cultivators, the higher the cultivation, the fewer the number is, and in the end, only a limited number of elites can climb the highest mountain. The spirit beasts in the beast tide rushed up in large numbers at the beginning, they were simply low-end populations that came to die, and they were also extremely poor, but the number was amazing, although the scene and momentum of such spirit beasts during the charge were extremely amazing, it seemed that they could destroy the world, but in fact, the threat was not great, and it was not difficult to defend.
After this first wave of charges, the number of spirit beasts has dropped significantly, but the ability has been significantly improved, and this is the real beginning of the test, and the defense of the martial artists is no longer flawless. From time to time, spirit beasts broke through the net laid by the martial artists and rushed to the city wall, and at this time, a low-level immortal cultivator like Hu Jinfu also quickly entered the battlefield.
At this time, Yan Yushi looked at Su Aotian again, and found that his defensive circle had shrunk from ten zhang to eight zhang square, I don't know how, I should have worried about him in this situation, thinking if he was a little weak, but Yan Yushi actually had a hint of schadenfreude: "You also have times when you can't support it?"
At this time, Yan Yushi suddenly realized that he actually had an indescribable jealousy and hatred for Su Aotian, he knew that he had changed himself, although he could come and go freely in the beast tide, but he couldn't be like Su Aotian, holding on to a small open space, and the defense was unbreakable!
Therefore, after seeing Su Aotian narrow the scope of his defense, Yan Yushi couldn't help but feel a little excited and relieved, if he Yan Yushi was actually inferior to a martial artist in some aspects, it was really unacceptable to him.
However, what he didn't expect was that Su Aotian narrowed the scope of his defense, not beyond his strength, but took the initiative to shrink to further save his physical strength and prepare for a protracted battle!
The range of ten zhang square circle was not deliberately done by Su Aotian, but was pulled out with an iron rod, which naturally encompassed such a large place. As the strength of the spirit beast gradually increased, and it was also mixed with the attack of innate supernatural powers, it was not as easy to deal with as before. Therefore, he immediately changed his strategy, took the initiative to shrink, and strengthened his defenses.
He moved the hands holding the iron rod forward by half a foot, so that wielding the iron rod was more effortless, and the scope of the encompassing area was reduced by two zhang, but the power was increased.
Time passed quickly, in the scrambled defense of the martial artists, more and more spirit beasts rushed onto the city wall, more and more immortal cultivators entered the battle, it felt like an instant, in fact, several hours had passed, and the walls were broken through one after another, and powerful spirit beasts broke into the crowd and launched a crazy and ferocious killing.
This time, none of the martial artists retreated from the city wall, on the one hand, their abilities have increased significantly, and they already have some resistance in the face of spirit beasts of this level, on the other hand, the immortal cultivators have also felt tremendous pressure, and at this time, without the help of the martial arts, they will be even more difficult.
And Su Aotian, at this time, has changed to lying in the center of the iron rod with both hands, forming a circle of two zhang square between the dances, and still has not been broken through the defense by the spirit beast, but only from the perspective of the scope of his defense, it is already the end of the strong crossbow, and it is about to be unable to support it.
Despite this, his performance was already a miracle, not to mention an Earth Yuan Realm immortal cultivator like Liu Ruyan, even Yan Yushi and the other three elders could not imagine that they could persist alone for such a long time under the endless impact of the beast tide!
They can naturally rely on the magic power exercises, rush back and forth in the beast tide, and can dodge and retreat when the situation is not good, but if they are entangled by a large number of spirit beasts and besieged wildly, it will be about an hour at most, and they will die of exhaustion. And Su Aotian has persisted for more than six hours, and so far, all he has used is the power of his own body!
The corpses of spirit beasts piled up under the city wall have long been mountainous, but the beast tide is still boundless, and there is no sign of decay. For the beast tide that is often ten days and a half moon, these half days and six hours are not even a beginning, but this time, the human race of Shishanzhai has already felt the huge pressure. This time the beast tide was really irresistible with their strength, and now, not to mention the King Kong Giant Ape, even a spirit beast of the level of the Earth Walking Dragon had not yet been dispatched.
On the city wall, the martial artists have suffered huge casualties, more than 10,000 people, to say the least, while the immortal cultivators are still intact, and at most some people have suffered minor injuries. After they finally killed the last powerful spirit beast that rushed up the city wall, the attack of the beast tide also had a low tide, and the spirit beast was still trying to leap towards the city wall, but none of them were able to rush up.
