anwhile, Ju Tian'en had received word and was standing atop the city wall, silently watching the scene before him.
His gaze swept over the land, which was teeming with beasts, their numbers beyond estimation.
Back in their room, Xiang Tian and Luo Xue had swiftly returned. After rousing Wang Zhan, Xiang Tian hastily said, "Brother Wang, trouble's brewing. Beasts are suddenly besieging the city. You should go and see."
Wang Zhan's expression rapidly darkened. He rose to his feet right away, burst through the window, and headed off into the distance.
He hadn't expected the beasts to launch another attack in such a short amount of ti.
But by the ti he reached the city wall, he realized that the beasts had been planning this for a while. How else could they have so easily broken through several of the City Gates with such a blitzkrieg style of attack?
Seeing Wang Zhan arrive, Ju Tian'en, who was standing nearby, quickly moved to his side, gritting his teeth as he spoke, "Damn, I didn't anticipate these beasts appearing in such large numbers so suddenly, and they're about to breach the City Gates on all sides. Comparing this to the last attack, these creatures' ans and montum of attack have beco much stronger."
It's apparent these creatures are well prepared. Wang Zhan nodded, then looked into the distance and soon noticed the level 7 Beast standing at the rear of the beast horde.
Fortunately, it doesn't have any formidable support; it's just alone.
Wang Zhan narrowed his eyes. If it's just this, then everything is still within manageable limits. Although he wasn't completely confident he could deal with Luo Tianhong, facing the level 7 Beast before him wouldn't be particularly challenging.
"Are you confident you can contend with it?" Ju Tian'en asked from the side.
"Otherwise, should the two of us join forces and swiftly deal with it? What do you think?"
The only imdiate solution was to take out this level 7 Beast. Only then could these other beasts be made to retreat on a large scale.
Smiling, Wang Zhan responded, "Don't worry. It won't be easy for a re level 7 Beast to deal with ."
As he spoke, he moved directly off into the distance.
Ju Tian'en exclaid, "Heaven is truly on our side! That such a young talent would erge during this perilous mont in Tianxiong City is truly sothing to celebrate."
「anwhile.」
Wang Zhan had already flown several ters, about to confront the level 7 Beast.
But to his utmost surprise, the level 7 Beast had also noticed him and quickly darted off into the distance, clearly not planning a face-to-face confrontation.
Damn it! Who knew this creature would be so crafty? Wang Zhan gritted his teeth. If the demonic beast continuously evaded battle, it was rely wasting ti. At this point, all the beasts were launching a fierce attack on Tianxiong City. The inhabitants were unable to hold off such offenses. Thus, if more ti were wasted, Tianxiong City would definitely fall.
Realizing this, Wang Zhan quickened his pace, hurtling towards the level 7 Beast.
「At the sa ti.」
Xiang Tian and Luo Xue, at the inn, could not suppress their excitent.
"Alright, since Wang Zhan has gone out to engage in battle, we can't just sit idly by," Xiang Tian chuckled, his gaze falling on Han Xue. "Especially if Tianxiong City is truly about to go into lockdown, we should get out as soon as possible. So why not take Han Xue and leave here now?"
Han Xue simply nodded. "Whatever decision you two make, I will follow. You don't need to seek my opinion. Besides, I want to stay with Brother Wang."
It had to be said that Wang Zhan definitely had his charms and leadership abilities. Most importantly, he could provide a sense of safety. Following Wang Zhan, they felt they wouldn't have to worry about anything. This sentint was held not just by Xiang Tian but by Han Xue as well, even though she had just t Wang Zhan.
Luo Xue hesitated for a good while before finally saying with gritted teeth, "Okay, since both of you have already made your decision, then I'll follow suit. After all, right now we're a small group, and we share a common goal: to stay by Wang Zhan's side."
Xiang Tian smiled with satisfaction, his gaze landing back on Han Xue. After patting Luo Xue on the shoulder, he said, "Okay, then it's settled. You are responsible for Han Xue's safety, and I'll handle everything else."
In Wang Zhan's absence, Xiang Tian naturally beca their core, given that his strength far surpassed Luo Xue's.
"Why?" Luo Xue looked at him, aghast. "I get the feeling you're scheming against !"
"No, how could you think that? I'm just considering everyone's welfare. After all, my cultivation is indeed much stronger than yours. Thus, the duty of protecting Han Xue naturally falls to you."
Luo Xue sighed helplessly, while Han Xue muffled her laughter.
"Alright, do you know how dangerous it is to fight beasts? You two girls just need to hide behind us. I will protect you well. Otherwise, I won't be able to answer to Brother Wang."
As he spoke, Xiang Tian was already leading the two of them outside.
Behind him, Luo Xue grumbled impatiently, "Since when did you beco so kind-hearted? To put it bluntly, don't you just want to fight on your own?"
"And who told you girls can't fight beasts? Do you really think you can take on the world all by yourself?"
Her voice was so soft, and Xiang Tian's attention wasn't on her, so he didn't notice what she was saying.
At her side, Han Xue gently tugged Luo Xue's collar before saying, "Co on, sister, let's quietly follow behind. After all, if Brother Wang found out we sneaked out, he definitely wouldn't be pleased. Then, we can shift all the bla to Xiang Tian. What do you think?"
It had to be said, this was indeed a good plan.
Luo Xue nodded forcefully. "Alright, if he wants to play the macho man, we'll teach him a lesson. When Brother Wang finds out about us, we'll shift all the bla to Xiang Tian. But rember, we're allies in this, so don't you dare betray ."
"Sure thing," Han Xue replied with a giggle.
Only then did Luo Xue crack a satisfied smile.
The beasts had already reached the outskirts of the City Gate. Little did they expect that pandemonium had already erupted inside Tianxiong City, as other beasts were brazenly smashing through the city walls, so having already invaded.
Witnessing this, the expressions of Xiang Tian and the others changed instantly, and they quickly rushed towards the beasts.
After all, the common folk in Tianxiong City had no cultivation at all. Once the beasts infiltrated, everyone's situation would beco extrely precarious.
And now, all the warriors were busy resisting the invasion of the beasts, with no one available to aid the people in the city.
In an instant, Xiang Tian was enshed in battle with the beasts.
Luo Xue, at his side, glanced at Han Xue. "Be careful and stay behind
at all tis, understand?"
Han Xue nodded. "Don't worry, sister, I definitely won't hold you guys back."
Hearing her words, Luo Xue then rushed towards the fray.
Because the two joined the battlefield, a portion of the beasts was quickly eliminated. However, a City Gate of Tianxiong City had been breached, and beasts were continuously rushing in at high speed. If this continued, even the two of them wouldn't be able to hold them off, as the sheer number of beasts was too great.
Realizing this, Xiang Tian looked at the two won and said in a deep voice, "Quick, retreat to the city wall now! There are too many beasts. If we truly engage with them, I won't have ti to protect you."
"And if you two stay here, my attention will be divided."
Han Xue glanced at Luo Xue and then tugged on her sleeve. "Sister, let's do as he says. Let's hurry to the city wall and join the warriors there. This way we can relieve so of Xiang Tian's burden."
Luo Xue hesitated for a mont, then asked in a serious tone, "Then what will you do? With so many beasts, if you get surrounded, breaking free will be extrely difficult."
Luo Xue had already noticed that a few of the creatures at the forefront had reached the strength of level 2 demonic beasts.
How could Xiang Tian possibly contend with demonic beasts of this caliber?
"Don't worry," Xiang Tian patted their shoulders and continued, "Even if I'm not their match, retreating in one piece won't be a problem for . Alright then, hurry and leave. Don't worry."
Finally, the two won didn't hesitate and retreated into the distance.
Xiang Tian glared, his eyes blazing with anger at the beasts before him. "You bunch of damned losers! Today, I'm going to play with you properly!"
The beasts, as if frenzied, charged wildly at Xiang Tian.
「anwhile.」
Outside Tianxiong City, Wang Zhan was relentlessly pursuing the level 7 Beast.
However, the demonic beast still seed unwilling to fight Wang Zhan.
After a prolonged chase, the level 7 Beast finally gritted its teeth and said, "Are you crazy, boy? If you continue to follow , are you just going to abandon Tianxiong City?"
"Everyone in Tianxiong City will beco our slaves."
"And I can assure you, you absolutely do not have the ability to kill ."
