Chapter 55 - 55 Immortal Citys Final Trump Card Revealed
In the following days, the frequency and scale of the Demonic Beast siege on the city intensified.
Due to the influence of the Monkey-faced Eagles, the Human Race relied on the Protective City Formation for defense.
While the Demonic Beasts suffered tremendous losses, the number of Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators who fell unconscious each day still reached four to five thousand, and that was after using a large number of Purifying Heart Talismans, Heart Cleansing Pills, and Calming Incense.
The expenditure of Spiritual Energy by the Protective City Formation was what troubled Ouyang Wenjian the most.
On the evening of the sixth day, the Demonic Beasts launched their largest-scale attack.
Including the healed Eagle Jiu Kong, all six Heavenly Demons appeared to battle Ouyang Wenjian once again.
Two hundred and sixty Second Stage Major Demons led a dense horde of First Stage Demonic Beasts to attack the Protective City Formation from all directions simultaneously.
There were approximately one hundred and sixty Foundation Establishment Cultivators in Suichuan Immortal City; after accounting for those who had perished and others who could not participate in battle, around one hundred twenty were fighting on the city walls.
Qi Cultivation Stage cultivators took turns joining the battle in batches.
While the fierce battle raged on, a certain cave underground near the City Lord’s Mansion in Suichuan Immortal City.
This was where the main channel that supplied Spiritual Energy from the city’s Spirit Vein to the Protective City Formation was located.
At that moment, extremely rich Spiritual Energy was continuously gushing from a large Spiritual Spring, which had been nurtured by the Spirit Vein, into a large Array Plate above.
Next to the Spiritual Spring, a grey-haired elderly cultivator sat cross-legged.
It was the cultivator assigned by the City Lord’s Mansion to guard this place.
"Immobilize!"
Suddenly, a voice echoed in the cave, and immediately a black-clad masked cultivator emerged from one side of the cave wall.
Accompanying him was a golden, hiltless, small sword that hurtled toward the elderly cultivator at high speed. The sword pierced through his skull under his horrified gaze, then circled back and stabbed through his Dantian from the back.
These were a high-grade Second Stage Immobilization Talisman and a Charm Treasure.
The elderly cultivator at the late stage of Foundation Establishment fell directly under the sneak attack of these two means.
Then, the black-clad masked cultivator placed several large stones over the Spiritual Spring.
Spirit-Sealing Stones.
Instantly, the transmission of Spiritual Energy from this vein to the Protective City Formation was almost cut off.
The flying sword soared into the air, glittering with light, and struck at the black-robed, masked Cultivator.
The black-robed, masked Cultivator was extremely alarmed, as the previous attack from the Golden Sword Technique only had the power of the early Golden Core stage, but the Spiritual Power fluctuations from this Magical Treasure flying sword had actually reached the Late Stage of the Golden Core.
He frantically poured Spiritual Power into the shield, while another hand produced a Talisman.
The golden flying sword struck down, cutting the Ancient Treasure shield in two, but the figure of the black-robed, masked Cultivator disappeared just before being struck.
"Little Teleportation Talisman, huh, I think I know who you are now."
The Golden Core male Cultivator sneered, swung his right hand, and the flying sword swept across, turning the Spirit-Sealing Stone slab covering the Spiritual Spring into dust.
The channel for transmitting Spiritual Power was restored to normal, and the Protective City Formation’s membrane began to recover.
But there were already several hundred thousand Demonic Beasts rampaging inside the city.
Outside a dilapidated courtyard, a pack of Thornwood Jackals was attacking the Cultivation Technique, and a weak Second Stage medium-quality Formation was breached within three breaths.
The pack of Thornwood Jackals stormed into the courtyard, and an old Cultivator, who had lost all his teeth, activated a Fireball Talisman before positioning himself in front of the door with a large saber.
He was determined to protect his two-year-old beloved granddaughter.
However, after the Fireball Talisman killed an early First Stage Thornwood Jackal, the enraged pack exuded blue light, and dense thorns shot towards the old man. He blocked with his saber for a breath before ultimately falling in despair.
In a small alley, a team from the Enforcement Team was cornered by a group of Yellow-Crown Spined Pigs.
The tenfold numerical difference did not frighten the members of the Enforcement Team; they shouted loudly. One used a large shield to block the assault of the Yellow-Crown Spined Pigs’ spikes, while the others attacked the pig pack with Spells.
Alas, the torrent of spikes kept coming, quickly covering the large shield, crushing the Cultivator behind it, and exposing everyone to the rain of arrows.
Outside a building decorated in pink, thousands of grey, red-eyed rabbits surrounded the place. The lead three even emitted the aura of Second Stage Major Demons.
These were Rogue Rabbits, herbivores with a taste for flesh, attacking a brothel that provided services to low-level Loose Cultivators at the moment.
Inside, there was only one Cultivator at the early Foundation Establishment stage who was not good at fighting, and the Protective Array was only a First Stage top-grade, which was soon breached under the attack of thousands of Rogue Rabbits. The building reverberated with piercing screams of agony.
Within Tianxiang Pavilion, Yu Qingtan was in deep recuperation.
She too was under attack by tens of thousands of Demonic Beasts. Above was a group of Cloud Cranes and Bald Pigeons; below were Rogue Rabbits and Leopard-Patterned Pythons, with a pack of Yellow Weasels underground.
Fortunately, Wei Jie, the main manager of Tianxiang Pavilion, was in charge, protected by a Second Stage Great Array, preventing the Demonic Beasts from invading for the time being.
However, Wei Jie was extremely anxious, as most of the disciples of Tianxiang Pavilion were still outside.
