No hope for eternal life

Chapter 193 The city is broken!

Afterwards, Feng Mian chased Xiao Jingshan. The two of them quickly left the territory of the Shenfeng Kingdom and entered the territory of the Shenyu Kingdom.

When they arrived at the territory of Shenyu Kingdom, the scene suddenly changed. Countless monsters and demon cultivators were wreaking havoc here, slaughtering crazily and killing anyone they saw. With only a thin line of separation, the scene was like the difference between heaven and hell.

So, while Xiao Jingshan and his companions were rushing to Shenyu City, they also killed many demons that were causing trouble along the way.

Although with their cultivation level, killing the monsters was a piece of cake for the two, Feng Mian became more and more frightened the more he killed. He had only received news of the monsters' massive attacks before, which was naturally very different from what he was seeing with his own eyes now.

The more Feng Mian watched, the more he felt that the demon race seemed to have gone crazy this time, and he couldn't help but wonder in his heart: "Could it be that the demon race wants to seize the entire Tianshuang Realm this time?"

Thinking of this, Feng Mian's heart trembled. If his guess came true, it would definitely be a shocking event, and he was now at the center of this storm.

In order to find peace of mind, Feng Mian asked Xiao Jingshan beside him: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, your sect is well-informed. Please tell me the truth. What is the purpose of the demon clan launching this war?"

Xiao Jingshan was silent for a moment, then he explained, "As the only territory of the demon race, the Heavenly Demon Realm has been constantly accepting demon cultivators from all over the Nine Realms for so many years, causing the Heavenly Demon Realm to be overcrowded with demons. This war was launched to reduce the number of demons and to seize the half-realm area south of the Huanglong River to solve problems such as insufficient territory and lack of resources."

"But old Lord, don't worry. The winner of this war has not yet been determined. The Tianling Sect and the Demon Clan have already sent reinforcements. It's just that it takes some time to cross the border. What we have to do is to save as many people as possible before the reinforcements arrive."

Feng Mian breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this. Xiao Jingshan's answer was better than the extreme case he had imagined. At worst, he could just give the entire territory to the demon clan as he had instructed Feng Ze before. The most important thing was to preserve his strength.

About a quarter of an hour later, Xiao Jingshan and his companions finally arrived at Shenyu City, but the scene before them shocked them because Shenyu City had been breached!

The Shenyu City before us had long lost the atmosphere of a big city. Only countless broken walls and ruins remained, rivers of blood, and there was not a trace of life. It was like a purgatory on earth.

This was actually not the first ruined city that Xiao Jingshan and his companions had seen. On the way here, they had already seen several ruined county towns and prefecture towns.

Xiao Jingshan looked embarrassed, he had rushed here after receiving the news of the crisis in Shenyu City, but he did not expect that it would be breached in such a short time.

"Let's go to the nearest Shennan City." Xiao Jingshan said. He knew that under such a powerful offensive, ordinary cities could not hold out for even a moment. Only the capitals of a few countries could barely resist, so his targets of support were only those capitals.

However, just as Xiao Jingshan was about to fly away, he heard Feng Mian sighing: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, you and I are only seventh-level cultivators after all. Facing such a great situation, we are powerless to resist. I will not go to Shennan City, and I advise you not to go either."

The destruction of Shenyu City brought a great shock to Feng Mian. He had just calmed down when his mind was tense again, making him completely lose his courage.

Xiao Jingshan looked at Feng Mian's expression and knew that he could not persuade him, so he could only say helplessly: "Old Lord, please do as you please, but I still want to go to Shennan City."

After saying that, Xiao Jingshan left straight away. Seeing this, Feng Mian turned back to Kamikaze City along the same route.

"If we don't share the same ideals, we can't work together." Feng Mian sighed inwardly. Although he admired Xiao Jingshan's fearless spirit, he really couldn't agree with it. What if there was an eighth-level great demon in charge of Shennan City? Wouldn't that be like going there to die?

Inside the Divine Guard City, Mu Changsheng was still frantically attacking the monsters, but he discovered a very bad signal.

Some monsters have already broken into the city defense formation, which means that there are loopholes in the city defense formation, which is a sign that it is on the verge of collapse.

Although the number of monsters that broke in was not large, they still caused certain casualties to the human monks in the formation. This was the first time that human monks in the city suffered casualties, and it was also the beginning of a nightmare.

As time passed, more and more monsters and demon cultivators broke into the city defense formation and started a fierce battle with the human cultivators inside the formation. The casualties of the human cultivators began to increase sharply.

Mu Changsheng no longer has time to recover his consumed magic power and can only fight the enemy with his fists.

Compared with Mu Changsheng, Mu Xun's situation is even worse. He is a pure swordsman, and now his magic power is almost exhausted. He is like a skilled cook without rice. If Mu Changsheng and Ji Leyao had not been guarding around him and helping him resist the monsters, he would have been torn to pieces by those crazy monsters long ago.

"Damn monster." Mu Xun gritted his teeth. He didn't want to be a burden to Mu Changsheng and the others, so he began to frantically practice the two secret techniques of Tianyuan Guilai and Diyuan Guilai to restore his magic power.

Mu Xun absorbed the spiritual power of heaven and earth while madly striking with his sword, but in the end his income was not enough. The two secret techniques that had always been effective were now no longer enough.

"Not enough, not enough, not enough." Mu Xun screamed frantically in his heart. In order to make up for the lack of magic power, he even began to practice the secret technique of returning to human form to absorb the spiritual power from the monster.

On the other hand, no matter how many talismans Ji Leyao had, they would eventually run out. Mu Changsheng had noticed that Ji Leyao's frequency of using talismans had greatly decreased.

So, the original trio of two people protecting Mu Xun became Mu Changsheng protecting Ji Leyao alone.

While Mu Changsheng was punching non-stop, he also said to Ji Leyao: "Don't use talismans if you can. Focus on attacking with magic. When your magic power is exhausted, recover. I will do my best to help you block the monster."

Ji Leyao's face turned slightly pale, obviously frightened by the monsters attacking the city, but she still responded firmly: "I know."

At the same time, the sky guards in the air saw that the number of demons in the formation was increasing, and realized that the city defense formation was doomed to fail, so they shouted an order: "Retreat, retreat into the palace."

When Mu Changsheng heard the order, he quickly said to Mu Xun and the others, "Let's go, follow your orders and retreat to the palace."

Although they didn't know why Hutiandu issued such an order, all they could do now was to obey. The city defense formation was doomed to be broken, and only by obeying orders could they have a glimmer of hope of survival.

So, everyone, including Mu Changsheng and the other three, began to retreat towards the palace.

However, those monsters had no intention of letting go easily, and they chased the evacuating people madly, biting them tightly.

Mu Changsheng and the other two were able to retreat steadily thanks to their nearly invincible strength below the Nascent Soul stage, but the others were not so lucky.

No matter which city it is, the number of Qi-refining and foundation-building cultivators is far greater than that of Jindan cultivators. Before, those cultivators with lower cultivation could hide in the back and rely on the city defense formation to resist the monsters. Now that everyone is busy taking care of themselves, those weak cultivators have become the targets of slaughter by monsters.

Flesh and blood flew everywhere, and blood flowed like a river. The monsters seemed to want to vent all the anger and hatred that had been accumulated for many years on the human monks in front of them, so they were particularly cruel.

The human cultivators had lived in peace for a long time and had never experienced such bloody slaughter, so they could only flee with their heads in their arms.

The sounds of fighting, cries for help, and despair were heard. As Mu Changsheng and the other two retreated, the miserable sounds never stopped reaching their ears.
