Chapter 1743: Chapter 936: The Battle Situation
As soon as the two people left, Lin Feng woke up.
"Where did my Demon Suppressing Sword and the Divine Sword from earlier go?" Lin Feng exclaimed with some astonishment.
At this moment, Hua Shengmi looked at Lin Feng with a gaze as if he were looking at a fool, then kindly reminded Lin Feng by saying, "Lin boy, just now two dimwits took your Treasure Sword, one of them is the man who sold you the ticket, and the other is the white-haired youth. They both don’t seem like good people."
Lin Feng was stunned, then sighed and said, "It’s pathetic to betray one’s conscience for a Divine Artifact. Let them be. Over these years, the Mortal World has fallen into this state because of struggles for power and interests. Wasn’t the Star-Gazing Pavilion’s downfall also because of trivial ambitions for the Sect Leader’s position?"
The biggest enemy of the Mortal World is not external but the people’s own desires that have turned the originally peaceful world into chaos, plunging it into endless killing and unscrupulous conflicts.
Hua Shengmi naturally understood Lin Feng’s feelings, but these are the inherent nature of humans, so what else could Lin Feng do?
However, Lin Feng did not think so. At least he still maintained a righteous heart able to uphold the Righteous Path for the common people.
Lin Feng said to Hua Shengmi, "Even though I don’t have the Divine Sword now, I still have a Soul Sword that I can use, right?" Lin Feng grinned, knowing that the most powerful thing under the heavens is not the Divine Artifacts but the weapons among the Soul Devices.
Among the five Soul Devices known to the world, only one possesses an offensive weapon while the others, like the Observing Star Furnace, serve different purposes.
And the reason this sword is called a Soul Device is that it was born to protect the five Soul Devices.
"What an exquisite sword, it not only protects others but also oneself." Lin Feng seemed to have realized something and instantly transformed into a blinding streak of light, speeding towards the gap at the Hundred Treasure Pavilion.
Lin Feng rushed towards Liuzhou City, becoming the brightest streak of light amidst the vast sky gleams.
All the City Guards were severely injured by the demons, each one abandoning their helmets and armor, then retreating step by step. But they still didn’t dare to run away, because the City Lord Mansion would never spare cowardly deserters.
As the saying goes, you raise soldiers for a thousand days, use them for a moment; even if they haven’t been used for a hundred years, once a crisis arises, you pampered scoundrels have to fight for the City Lord.
The magical beasts were getting more and more agitated, and at this moment, one of them glared fiercely at the crowd and let out an earth-shaking roar.
The magical beast’s body emitted blinding lights all over the sky, with innumerable lights crashing towards the surrounding buildings and city guards.
People from the City Guard Mansion watched the earth-shaking brilliance emitted by the magical beast tensely, with the endless brilliance forming a barrier. When the beast’s electric lights struck this barrier, it radiated dazzling brilliance all across the sky.
This was the barrier prohibition of the City Guard Mansion, also one of the best defensive measures. They had gradually fallen into a passive position. Although at this moment they barely withstood the magical beast’s attack, they couldn’t solve the problem. After all, the best defense is an offense, and the City Guards, by merely defending, would eventually be breached by the magical beast.
Indeed, seeing the City Guards become passive under its electric light, the magical beast then chose a weak point and charged ferociously. Some guards were caught off guard and couldn’t prevent the magical beast’s assault, and in a flash, a gap was made, and several city guards lost their lives instantly.
The magical beast broke through the ground defense, and the troops in the sky hurriedly dispatched personnel to mend the gaps on the ground. Meanwhile, batches of City Guards came over to fill the vacancies left by the injured.
In just the time of a cup of tea, the entire Liuzhou City fell into chaos.
The City Guards of Liuzhou City evacuated unrelated persons and didn’t want idle cultivators to come help, as they did not really need such aid. Rather than having others help, it was better to go all out themselves and let the outside world witness the strength of Liuzhou.
The casualties had already surpassed half, but the new guards quickly cleared away the injured.
Overall, the scene was exceedingly chaotic, with rescue operations happening everywhere and people wielding weapons engaging in battle. The chaos and tension were not due to the lack of well-drilled battle formations among the City Guards, but because these City Guards were entities of the Seven Spirit Knot, with some being Eight Spirit Knot officers, yet even with well-drilled formations, they were no match for the top power of the Nine Spirit Joints magical beast.
It was amidst the darkness of night, and the magical beast fiercely exhaled its breath, a series of white mist roiling incessantly, the City Guards finally got a clear view of the beast’s true appearance.
The magical beast had a robust physique like an ox, with teeth as fierce as a tiger’s. Even a lion would seem trifling in its presence. Coupled with its supreme power, the demonic aura emanating from its body permeated the entire arena, with all ground troops emitting energy to resist the demon aura’s corrosion.
At this time, many physically weak city guards were possessed by the demon aura, got poisoned and fell, showcasing the demon beasts’ cruel and fierce tactics that left no room for retaliation.
The beast, now having grown ever stronger, started to surpass the limits of the Nine Spirit Joints. Its presence seemed to disdain the void, and the air around it became unusually heavy.
