Chapter 871: Chapter 871: The Demon Race Strikes Again?

Beast tide attacking the city?

The people within the city panicked instantly, fully aware of the terrifying consequences should the beast tide breach the city walls. If the city fell, aside from a very few cultivators who could break through and escape, those with lesser strength and the ordinary people would all become food for the demonic beasts.

Carson Flores stared dumbfounded. Again?

Just out of the wolf’s den and into the tiger’s mouth?

Samantha Tate’s eyes were equally filled with disbelief as she spoke wordlessly, ”What do we do now? Do we run now, or wait and see?”

Before Carson could respond, the horizon was already dotted with numerous black spots that swarmed towards them.

Looking back, a similar multitude of black spots appeared from the opposing direction, rapidly approaching.

Encirclement!

Carson’s heart sank, ”It’s too late. If we leave now, we’ll surely become the most conspicuous targets and will be surrounded and slain by countless demons. Let’s wait and see. If we can’t hold the city, we’ll break through then. There will be more people trying to escape, and we won’t stand out as much.”

Samantha glanced in the direction of the City Lord’s Mansion. ”Shall we go to the City Lord’s Mansion?”

Carson smiled bitterly. ”Let’s go take a look. If we can help, then we’ll help. After all, there are so many people in this city. If the city falls, who knows how many will die? We may not fight to the death here, but at least we can do so without guilt in our hearts,” he said.

”Alright!”

The two of them took to the air and flew straight towards the City Lord’s Mansion.

The City Lord’s Mansion.

Zayn Rhodes, the City Lord, rose to the skies above the mansion, his clear voice echoing throughout the city.

”I am Zayn Rhodes, the City Lord. The beast tide is coming; activate the Spirit Light Array. All defenders must hold your positions, and other cultivators converge on the square in front of the City Lord’s Mansion to combat the enemy together,” he announced.

”I’ve released a distress signal. As long as we hold out for one day, the Hollow Spirit Cave Realm will send support. The longer we hold on, the more reinforcements will arrive, and the stronger they will be,” he continued.

”I don’t care whether you’re cultivators from Giant Wave City or just passing through. Right now, we must fight shoulder to shoulder, giving it our all. That’s our only chance for survival. If the city is breached, we all die!”

Carson and Samantha reached the square in front of the City Lord’s Mansion, where hundreds of cultivators had already gathered, with more continually arriving.

Faced with the overwhelming beast tide, everyone chose unity, choosing to fight desperately against the demonic beasts.

Everyone understood that sticking together might offer a sliver of hope, whereas fighting individually and trying to survive on their own would lead to a certain death.

”Nascent Soul strength and above, to the left; Golden Core, stand in the middle; all others, to the right.”

The group quickly divided. There were twelve of Nascent Soul strength, about thirty Golden Cores, and around three hundred at the Foundation Establishment and Qi Cultivation levels.

At the same time, the overwhelming horde of demonic beasts pressed forward, attacking the Aura Barrier from the sky and the ground.

The Spirit Stone Cannons began their furious roaring, each blast plunging into the midst of the monster beast horde, blasting countless beasts into pieces and turning them into a rain of blood and flesh that fell from the sky.

Dozens of Spirit Light Arrays shone brightly, drawing a massive amount of Spiritual Energy from the spirit stones. This energy transformed into waves of Spiritual Energy that flowed along the formation’s pillars up into the firmament and into the Aura Barrier above the city.

Watching this, Carson was shocked; the rate at which they were burning Spiritual Energy, how many spirit stones were consumed every second?

This was far more frantic than when he had been defending White Wave City!

Back then, although the attackers were Divinity Transformation Realm beings leading a group of Nascent Souls, the quantity of demonic beasts now was overwhelming, numbering in the tens of thousands!

Could the spirit stones hold out?

Zayn Rhodes looked towards the sky, his eyes betraying irrepressible anxiety.

Giant Wave City had been peaceful for a thousand years; how could it suddenly be faced with a tide crashing upon its shores?

The tide of beasts converging from all directions clearly indicated an organized and planned attack – who could be orchestrating all this in the background?

She unconsciously recalled the recent rumors she’d heard about the appearance of the Demon Emperor Heir, giving rise to an idea she couldn’t suppress in her mind.

When the Demon Emperor rose ten thousand years ago, establishing the Demon Nation and cutting a swath of conquest from East Victory Province, even the Central Divine Continent was subjugated until the Human Emperor intervened and internal strife among the demon race caused their retreat; could it be that the demon race was poised to revive their onslaught?

”There are too many demonic beasts; the Aura Barrier is under too much pressure. We must launch a counterattack to alleviate the stress on the barrier,” she declared.

Zayn Rhodes gathered her wits and turned to give the order: ”The twelve Nascent Souls, follow me to form a strike team. We’ll break out and disrupt the beast tide’s formation and rhythm. Don’t stray too far from me. If we encounter a powerful foe, we’ll immediately retreat.”

”Alright!”

Zayn Rhodes flung her hand, and twelve tokens flew towards Carson and the others: ”These are Pass Tokens. Don’t lose them; otherwise, there will be endless troubles.”

”Understood!”

After ensuring everyone equipped their tokens, Zayn charged into the sky: ”Let’s go!”

The twelve Nascent Souls followed Zayn, skimming just above the ground, and then charged out from the eastern side of Giant Wave City.

Zayn led the charge, and from the long sword box on her back, countless flying swords erupted, seemingly alive as they each dove towards the incoming demonic beasts.

The Flying Swords shone like stars, unstoppable, instantly clearing a large swath of demonic beasts.

”Follow me, and don’t run off,” Zayn ordered.

Carson reminded Samantha, unsheathing his Three Provinces Sword, and burst out of the Aura Barrier.
