Chapter 211: Chapter 209: Heroes Gather Lou Yi used the advanced axe technique "Soul Devouring". While constantly killing the wild beast spirits earlier, he had been silently accumulating the blood qi absorbed from them. The chaotic and mixed blood qi accumulated in his chest, creating a noticeable foreign sensation, swelling ever more, as if about to explode at any moment. When it reached the limit. Lou Yi felt as if he had swallowed a bomb and urgently needed to release it. However, he didn’t rush. "Splitting Mountain." The power reached its limit, at twenty-five thousand pounds, far exceeding the level of a normal Martial Artist. "Dragon Piercing." Using Secret Blood to trigger the Dragon-Pricking Acupoint, causing a second eruption of all the blood qi in his body, layering his strength to exceed fifty thousand pounds. "Soul Devouring." Then he triggered the external accumulated blood qi, combined it with his own blood qi, and erupted again, reaching a new peak in an instant! Compared to the previous time he killed Chief of the Escort Lin, the improvement was incalculable. The power made another great breakthrough, at a level of at least eighty or ninety thousand pounds! Equivalent to the combined power of eight or nine peak Full Cycle Circulation Martial Artists, twisted into a single thread. Combined with terrifying swinging speed, it created an extremely noticeable spectacle. The blood qi concentrated at the edge of the axe blade, then exploded fiercely in the swarm of bees, a red light suddenly appearing! A loud bang was heard. The thick black cloud formed by the swarm was shattered in an instant. Cleared clean with power exceeding that of Martial Artists and Martial Artists, all exploding into a blood mist, turning this space into a completely blood-red realm. The remaining bee spirits weren’t fools; feeling the death of their kind, they hovered in the air, hesitant to advance. And Lou Yi’s strike added nearly a hundred energy points to his Attribute Panel! However, the backlash was equally astonishing. Many blood vessels and muscles inside his body ruptured, his heart throbbed, he spat blood, turning nearly into a blood person. But Lou Yi used the Attribute Panel’s healing function, expending five energy points, and quickly restored all injuries to their original state. The impact of Lou Yi’s move was massive, leaving everyone on the city wall stunned. "What the hell, is he even human?" "Could he be the real form of the Beast King?" "Say any more nonsense, and be wary that Sect Leader Liu might come to take you!" Even experienced Martial Artists like Old Master Shi and Marshal Yue were shocked by Lou Yi’s deadly move, exchanging glances, finally understanding why Old Master Xu died at his hands. With Lou Yi as this ’nuclear weapon’, the morale of the city-defending martial artists soared, holding off the attacks of numerous beast spirits temporarily. But the good times didn’t last, as other city monsters arrived one after another. In previous years, they were beasts on par with the Beast King, making even experienced Martial Artists uncertain when facing them. The Human-faced Python, with a face resembling a human, seemed to smile and not smile, its scarlet eyes shooting out vicious light. Its tail spiraled on the ground, reaching seven or eight zhang tall, with ink-black scales impervious to knives and spears. The snake’s tongue flicked, spraying countless poison, even Iron Armor would corrode in patches, hard to resist. Around it gathered hundreds or thousands of giant pythons thicker than barrels, among them countless spirits. Above in the sky, a true king had also arrived. This was a giant eagle demon, its wingspan reaching over ten zhang, blocking out the sun, as if flying out of a myth. It hovered in mid-air, its golden eagle eyes the size of a millstone stared down at the city wall, greatly pressuring the martial artists above, making them feel constrained. Beside the giant eagle demon, several eagles not much smaller than it flew alongside. There were even over a hundred giant crows with pure black feathers, each taller than a human. And the previously scattered and fleeing three two-headed grey wolf demons returned, leading a large number of spirits to the battlefield, becoming the new force of the beast tide. Their hateful eyes fixed on the martial artists, leaving no doubt about their strong determination for revenge. Besides the Human-faced Pythons, Eagle Demons, and Wolf Demons, there were also three-tailed white foxes and giant lizards resembling triceratops, all at the ’monster’ level of spirits. On the city wall, only Lou Yi, Marshal Yue, and Old Master Shi could match the monsters. Even with Lou Yi’s strength being equivalent to several Martial Artists, he felt an immense pressure, struggling to manage everything. "Ah!!" With the monster reinforcement joining, the city wall turned into a meat grinder, martial artists perishing at several times the speed! "We need to retreat into the array sooner, otherwise we’ll all die before the array breaks!" Old Master Shi roared in anger. By now, he had several bloody wounds on him, even someone as strong as him was injured, making it harder to protect his daughter Shi Caifeng. "We cannot retreat!" Marshal Yue held a different opinion, "Not retreating gives us a way out, retreat and the array won’t hold for long, that vicious tiger will have no qualms, and we’ll all die!" City Lord Li stood on the city wall, donning a layer of silver chain armor, which by now was completely stained with blood. Even as noble as he was, he had to fight desperately, no different from an ordinary soldier. He glanced toward where Lou Yi was, a hint of determination flashing in his eyes. "Die!" Lou Yi swung his axe at a group of Ape Spirits, each tall and sturdy, with broad shoulders and hefty builds. "Soul Devouring!" ’Boom!’ The space seemed to break at this moment, white shockwaves and blood-red light mixed together, intensely glaring. Under Lou Yi’s violent attack, more than ten spirits turned into a pile of minced meat, extremely bloody. A previously unstable breach was immediately stabilized, with other spirits not daring to rush forward. But on many other parts of the city wall, battles remained fierce with heavy casualties, even Lou Yi couldn’t manage them all. Seeing this, City Lord Li sighed inwardly, preparing to summon all the martial artists back into the light shield. At this moment. From the entrance behind the city wall, came a clear and resonant sound, full of vigor. "Lv Yang from Jiang City has come to assist!" "City Lord Li, don’t panic, I’ve arrived!" "Lian City’s martial artists have come to aid Jiang City’s allies!" A series of powerful unfamiliar figures arrived on the city wall, revealing themselves. They were all dressed as martial artists, in colorful robes, equipped with swords and blades, among them were both men and women, young and old. The weakest among them were at the Great Circulation level. There were even quite a few Martial Artists, exceeding more than two in number! "Seems like it’s Jiang City’s Divine Spear Lv Yang, reputed as the first of Wangjiang Spear Techniques, even Chief of the Escort Lin had to give him some respect!" "There’s Su City’s Iron Pen Judge You Kai, and Chaotic Heaven Leg Qi Quan, both famous seasoned Martial Artists..." "Look at that red-robed lady, beautiful as she is, her aura is among the top in Martial Artists. Isn’t she the One Sword Immortal Madam Hu, who single-handedly annihilated three hundred Red Robe Village bandits?" "This is great, with so many experts coming to help, we can definitely withstand the beast tide!" Seeing top martial artists and even Martial Artists coming from other four cities of Wangjiang County: Jiang City, Yang City, Su City, Lian City, the people on the city wall felt greatly encouraged. ...
