Volume 1 "Witch Book" Chapter 8: Demon Beasts Slaughter the City

Fire-weary city, the city lord's mansion.

The council hall of the city lord's mansion was brightly lit, and more than thirty people in different costumes gathered here. Wang Dashan, the city lord of Fire-weary City, who was sitting at the top of the hall, looked anxious at this time, and his thick eyebrows were deeply furrowed. The two rows on the left and right below, respectively, gathered the monks of the Five Elements Sect's Five Great Immortal Peaks, as well as the various righteous path immortal cultivation sects that rushed to the famous Pythropy City.

"City Lord Wang, can you find out how many evil cultivators there are this time?Which force is it?Why are they gathered under the Fireweary City?" The one who opened his mouth was an old man in a yellow robe, who was none other than one of the deacons and elders of the Scorching Flame Hall of Tengyan Peak, Tu Gui. Wang Batian, the eldest son of the city lord Wang Dashan, was accepted as a disciple by him three months ago.

Wang Dashan raised his head and looked at everyone, and replied: "I have found out that the number of evil cultivators besieging the city this time is no less than 100,000, mainly the demon beasts that painted the Demon Valley, and the rest of the spell masters, elves, and earth monsters are only a few. As for why the demon beasts came to the city on a large scale, I don't know. ”

"This is strange, although Fireweary City is located on the border of the western frontier of Shenzhou, it is adjacent to it by the demon cult forces. For thousands of years, there have been very few large-scale battles between our Terran monks and the 'Chao Demon Cave', so Fireweary City has been peaceful for hundreds of years. This siege, if the demon clan is making waves, it is not surprising. What is incomprehensible is why the Demon Valley, thousands of miles away, has to go to great lengths to gather all demon beasts to attack the Fire-Weary City?" A blue-robed female Taoist who spoke, she was Mei Ying and Ye Zijin's master, one of the elders of the Weiyu Hall of Bolang Peak who had just arrived in the Fire-Weary City, and a Miaoying Daoist.

"I'm also strange, if it's a neighboring demon cultivator disturbing the city, it's not strange at all, but it's just that the Demon Valley is not far away, and 100,000 demon beasts are thousands of miles away, and they come to besiege the fire-weary city, and the handwriting is not small! 100,000 ah...... I and the other Terran Righteous Dao Cultivators and the Painting Demon Valley have faced each other for hundreds of years, and how many times have we faced such a large-scale demon beast attack on the city?" This time, the one who shook his head and spoke was a middle-aged golden-robed Dao Master, who was Jiang You's master, Feng Wu's father, Feng Bushu. This time, he led the disciples of the Huashun Hall of Rui Peak to drive down the Huangren Mountain and come to the Fire-weary City for reinforcements.

Jiang You and Feng were silent and their cultivation was still low, not enough to face such a big battle, so after they returned to Huangren Mountain, they stayed in Huashun Hall and did not follow.

"What's even more strange is that after a few hours, the army of demon beasts has besieged but not attacked, but we can't figure out what the real purpose of these demon beasts is for a while?" The old man in the green robe who opened his mouth was Jiang Zhenshan, who asked the elder of the Zhaoyao Hall of Fafeng, known as "Master Jiang".

"Regardless of the purpose of that demon beast, before the army came, fortunately, you all sent a message in time, and the disciples in the vicinity of Huangren Mountain withdrew to the Fire-weary City. In this way, we can reduce unnecessary casualties outside the city, and we can also concentrate the defense capabilities of our righteous path. But even so, if the demon beasts really attack the city, it will be difficult for us to resist in a hurry, and a catastrophe in the city of fire weary is inevitable......"

An old man in a white robe shook his head and sighed, he was none other than the deacon elder sent by the Boundless Peak Zhen Yellow Hall in the Fire-weary City, Qiu Yazi. Zhenhuang Hall has a lot of business in Fire-Weary City, and there are relatively more disciples stationed in the city, so if Fire-Weary City is not guaranteed, Zhenhuang Palace will also suffer the most losses.

There were more than a dozen monks from more than a dozen sects under the rest of the seats, all of whom were immortal cultivators from various factions in Shenzhou who came to the Fire-weary City, all of them were silent, and some people sighed a few times from time to time. For a while, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and everyone's faces were full of heaviness.

"Everyone," City Lord Wang Dashan broke the silence, "since there is no better way for everyone, we can only fight." Fire-weary City is located in a remote area, and although you have sent letters to your respective sect's nearby strongholds for help, after all, far water can't save the near fire. Now that the battle situation is imminent, Wang Mou is not talented, and all he can mobilize is tens of thousands of soldiers in the fire-weary city. And the real combat power still needs to rely on the immortals. Please also go all out to save the hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in my fire-weary city from fire and water!" Wang Dashan looked awe-inspiring and righteous.

Tu Gui of Tengyan Peak was the first to stand up and responded: "Don't worry about the city lord, as a righteous path monk, how can you stay out of the situation while seeing the lives of the Fire Disgusting City in misery?

Before Wang Dashan could answer, Jiang Fuzi, who asked Fafeng, replied: "Elder Tu, this old man has been investigated, and the leader is the nine-tailed fox clan of the Demon Valley, and his cultivation has reached the six-tailed transformation, and his name is Su Liu. There are a number of other five-tailed spirit foxes, tigers, rhinos, vultures, elks, beasts and so on. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was shocked. Just talking about the strength of the six-tailed fox, I am afraid that no one in the elders here is invincible, not to mention that there are many various demon beasts under his hands that are not shallow in cultivation.

There was silence in the hall for a while, and no one spoke.

At this moment, everyone suddenly felt a huge tremor under their feet, and there were bursts of explosions in the distance outside the door, and thick silver pillars of light rose into the sky.

Everyone was shocked in their hearts, and the secret path was not good, only to see a figure break into the door, staggered to his knees, and reported in panic: "Ladies and gentlemen, it's not good, the demon beast is attacking the city!"

The five rays of light snatched out of the door, and it was Tu Gui and other elders of the Five Elements Sect who took the lead in leaving, and then the masters of all factions present also sacrificed their magic weapons one after another, and the royal objects flew away. The immortal cultivators who had poor cultivation sacrificed their magic weapons and rushed out of the door.

The monster's attack on Fire-Weary City has officially begun.

Under the light of the blazing flames of war, it can be seen that the entire Fire-weary City is surrounded by countless demon beasts. Taking the city gates in the four directions of the city of fire as a breakthrough, the dense variety of fierce beasts climbed and pulled up, attacking the Terran guards on the city wall;

Looking from a distance, between the major fortresses outside the Fire-weary City, there are stone mountains of different sizes, and the earth pits are endless, among which the figures of countless demon beasts of various levels overlap and loom. At this time, the demon beasts participating in the siege of the city were less than one-tenth of the total number, and the battle line of the demon beasts outside the city was like a monstrous flood, surging wildly towards the fire-weary city in a continuous manner.

On the side of the human race, in addition to the tens of thousands of soldiers guarding the city wall, the disciples of the various righteous sects also sacrificed weapons and magic weapons one after another, and fought with all their might.

Under the flickering of the five-colored glow, countless fireballs, wind blades, ice picks and other spell attacks surged out like a tide from it, turning into bursts of light waves and demon beast impacts and colliding head-on. In an instant, blood rained down on the city wall, and broken corpses splashed like mie, and it was impossible to tell whether it was a human race or a demon beast corpse.

"Master Jiang, if you don't activate the city defense array at this time, when will you wait?" In the void, Tu Gui shouted.

Thousands of pillars of crimson light rose in response, like bloody blades that pierced the sky, shooting out one after another along the fire-weary city wall. The sky and the earth cracked like a loud roar in front of the fire-weary city's light-proof pillar, and the intense spiritual light produced by the explosion almost lit up most of the originally dark and dreary sky at once.

In just a few dozen breaths, tens of thousands of fierce beasts and birds were killed, and the attack of the demon beasts was slightly stagnant. On the fire-weary city wall, countless Terran warriors cheered.

On the huge platform at the top of one of the Demon Beasts' Battle Fortresses, more than a hundred high-level shape-shifting demon beasts were looking towards Tianyuan City with different expressions. The white-robed middle-aged man led by him, with silver hair and green eyes, a gloomy face, and a cold gaze, while the other high-level demon beasts were talking in small voices on the side.

Just as the moment the fire-weary city opened the city defense array, the white-robed middle-aged man closed his eyes, his expression suddenly changed, and he said lightly: "Blood vulture, it's your turn to play! I hope that before dawn, this seat can set foot in the fire-weary city. ”

"We will definitely do our best to assist Lord Su Liu!" the two fierce-faced men turned pale, stepped forward to bow down and receive the order, and said in unison. One of the fierce men had a bloody scar on his face, and the other had a silver horn on his forehead.

The brown light flashed, and the blood-scarred fierce man appeared as a vulture with a long vulture, black and brown all over, only the head was bare, without a single feather, from the top of the flesh to the beak, a scarlet blood groove was drawn, which made people tremble when they looked at it from a distance.

"The demon children and grandsons of the Eagle Clan, follow the ancestor and I!"

The vulture flapped its wings and shouted, soaring into the sky. After it, thousands of black-brown vulture shadows leaped up, and for a moment the sky was like an endless black cloud tumbling towards the fire-weary city.

The wings of the blood vulture fanned into the air, and a blood-colored phantom with a diameter of more than ten zhang suddenly appeared in mid-air, and emitted a dazzling light like blood-devouring, making it impossible for people to look directly. The huge phantom slammed into the protective light array, exploding with a loud "boom", and suddenly the light array was broken through a huge gap. The magic weapons sacrificed by the monks on the city wall, as soon as they came into contact with the blood shadow, seemed to be corroded, and they suddenly lost their spirituality and fell from the sky one after another.

Almost at the same moment, the blood-colored giant shadow turned into tens of thousands of blood arrows, shooting the nearby guards all indiscriminately, and ordinary soldiers and low-cultivation monks could not stop it at all, and they all fell down in response and fell down the city wall.

"Children, the eyes of the Great Defense Array of Pyrethic City are there, kill me!" With a loud cry from the Blood Vulture, the Vulture army behind him swept away in the direction pointed by the Blood Vulture Ancestor like a flood that broke the embankment.

There were more than 100 cultivators lined up to guard the eye of the array, which was originally a good defensive strength, from the sudden attack of the blood vultures on the city defense array, to the killing of thousands of vultures to the eye of the formation, it was just a matter of a few breaths. More than 100 guards hurriedly formed a formation to resist, and it was obvious that they would soon be unable to resist this lightning-fast killing momentum!

"Not good...... The array is in danger!" Jiang Fuzi was shocked, "Ask the disciples of Fafeng, follow me and rush over, be sure to guard the array eye!"

The other four sects also sensed the critical situation and were about to lead their troops to follow Jiang Fuzi to support, but suddenly heard a violent roar from the city gate.

I saw that outside the city gate, thousands of rhinoceros demon beasts directly broke through the city defense light array and constantly crashed into the city gate and city walls. The crimson blood blades conjured by the city's defense array rained down on the rhinoceros's hard leather armor, but it was difficult to inflict fatal damage.

Both the city gate and the city wall have been punctured by rhino horns, and they are in danger for a while.

"It's over, it's over...... I'm afraid that Fireweary City will be over soon!" Qiu Yazi of Zhenhuang Hall sighed.

"Qiu Yazi!" The Miaoying Daoist on the side snorted coldly, at this time there were already two more women beside her, it was her second disciple Mei Ying and her youngest disciple Ye Zijin. She continued to shout: "Shut your foul mouth for me!" Hearing this, the righteous monks immediately prepared for street fighting, vowing to fight to the death against the evil cultivator demon beasts!"

A few miles away from the Fire-Weary City, Su Liu, who was dressed in a white robe, stood on the high platform, coldly looking at the incomparably tragic battlefield in front of him, and his face did not fluctuate in the slightest. He beckoned, and two five-tailed fox demons with silver hair and yellow eyes stepped forward.

Su Liu lightly ordered: "Su Jianghai, after the city is broken, the two of you are responsible for finding Jiu'er, and anyone who participates in the kidnapping of Jiu'er will be killed!"

"Yes!" the two five-tailed fox demons agreed and immediately stepped off the stage.

"Terran ants, dare to kidnap my grandson!If Jiu'er is a little wrong, I will let the entire Fire-weary City be buried with me!" Su Liu looked indifferently ahead, as if talking to himself.
