"Whoosh!" The general of the Wind Qian Kingdom channeled his spiritual energy and swiftly drew his bow, unleashing a flurry of fiery arrows towards Ling Mo Xie and the others. Countless red flames shot through the air, creating a spectacular sight.
"Quickly say what you want; I will agree to anything!" Ling Mo Xie exclaimed, his expression changing as he saw the rain of arrows heading their way. He urgently spoke to Chen Yan.
At this point, he had no choice but to trust Chen Yan! If they could withstand this barrage of arrows, who knew what kind of attacks would come next?
After all, Ling Mo Xie knew that since the army of Wind Qian Kingdom had reached Spirit City, there must be a powerful general commanding them.
This was not ancient China, where battles were determined by intelligence; it was about cultivation levels.
However, such conflicts between nations were merely child's play in the entire cultivation world. Every day, countless nations rose and fell within the realm of cultivation.
In contrast, sects had histories spanning hundreds or even thousands of years. Some sects that seemed comparable to certain nations revealed their profound heritage in battle, proving that they were not to be underestimated. At any moment, a powerful ancestor could emerge and obliterate a nation with a mere wave of their hand!
Hearing Ling Mo Xie's words, Chen Yan chuckled and said, "Since you've agreed, then it's settled. We can discuss your requests once we're safe; I'll take action now!"
At that moment, the general from Wind Qian Kingdom had already launched his fiery arrows, which were about to strike the flying Xiao Peng in the sky above the battlefield.
Meanwhile, on the side of Youyun Kingdom, they had also noticed Xiao Peng due to the general's attack.
"General Feng, look! Isn't that someone sent by His Majesty for rescue? Should we assist him in avoiding the attack?" a soldier clad in armor asked General Feng Yixing, who was currently commanding Spirit City.
Feng Yixing glanced at Xiao Peng and coldly replied, "Since he was sent by His Majesty, this level of attack should be nothing to him. Why should we draw unnecessary attention?"
"By the way, how did it go with what I asked you to do?" Feng Yixing suddenly remembered something and turned to ask the soldier.
This soldier was his trusted aide, so he could naturally delegate certain tasks to him.
"Done... it's done," the Soldier said hesitantly, then looked at Feng Yixing and asked, "But why are we hiding all the Spirit Stones from the Lord's Manor and not evacuating the people in the city?"
"Hmph! Is that something you should be concerned about? It's time to find an opportunity to withdraw!" Feng Yixing snorted coldly, glancing at Xiao Peng flying in the air.
Thinking to himself, hmph! Is this the reinforcements sent by His Majesty? Since they are reinforcements, let them hold back Feng Qian Guo's people. I am the commander of this war; no matter what kind of reinforcements they are, they will have to listen to me!
Ling Mo Xie naturally did not know that the garrison commander in the city was his enemy from the Feng Family. At this moment, the countless fire arrows were already being manipulated by Hong Chi, flying back in reverse. Numerous unprepared Feng Qian Guo soldiers were shot down without hesitation by a strike from their general.
There really was not a hint of defense!
Ling Mo Xie squinted and sighed, becoming even more aware that in this world, a powerful individual is far more important than countless small fry.
The tactic of overwhelming numbers hardly exists in this world!
"Bang!" Hong Chi leaned back and collapsed onto Xiao Peng's broad back, panting as he said, "Huff! No wonder he's a general of Feng Qian Guo; his cultivation must be considerable. Although his fire manipulation techniques seem incredibly rudimentary to me, taking that hit still consumed quite a bit of energy!"
"Chen Yan, are you ready yet?" Hong Chi lay on Xiao Peng's back, rolling his eyes at Chen Yan.
However, Chen Yan had a serious expression at this moment and did not respond to Hong Chi. An invisible aura of authority gradually emanated from her, which had little effect on Ling Mo Xie and Hong Chi but caused Xiao Peng beneath them to tremble slightly.
Ling Mo Xie looked at Chen Yan with some surprise; Xiao Peng was a product of the system and could actually be influenced. What exactly was Chen Yan planning to do?
"Whoosh!" A sound of breaking air came, and Ling Mo Xie had to refocus on dealing with the attacks from Feng Qian Guo's general.
That general attacking Ling Mo Xie and the others was certainly above the Separation Stage. If it weren't for Xiao Peng's outstanding speed and that general being suppressed by Hong Chi due to his fire attribute, along with Ling Mo Xie's endless skills, they would have likely been defeated by now!
At this moment, the powerful move that Chen Yan had been brewing for so long seemed to have taken effect.
Ling Mo Xie keenly sensed that there was some inexplicable change in the battlefield. A strong wind rose, and the flags of both armies fluttered in the breeze. Some soldiers seemed to feel the strange shift and involuntarily paused their fighting.
"Roar!" "Aow!" "Awoo!" Countless beast roars echoed through the air, and the commanders of both armies also sensed that something was amiss. Their expressions changed, yet they could not pinpoint what was wrong.
"Roar!" Suddenly, the ground shook as if prehistoric beasts were stirring, like a stampede of countless creatures.
"What is happening? You go find out for me!" Windshadow Sovereign shouted angrily at his personal guards beside him.
However, the truth of the matter presented itself before him without needing to investigate!
At this moment, the battlefield had descended into chaos. From the Lingyu Mountain Range near Spirit City, countless Spirit Beast Monsters surged forth.
It was like a rare beast tide that had not been seen in a thousand years; in an instant, it had invaded the battlefield. The soldiers, under this overwhelming tide of beasts, had almost no ability to resist and were instantly engulfed.
Ling Mo Xie was stunned by this sudden change and then looked at Chen Yan in shock. This was indeed the legendary ultimate move; it had almost instantly altered the situation on the battlefield!
Moreover, Ling Mo Xie noticed that leading the tide of beasts were seven or eight enormous creatures, not of the same species but varying in form. Their attacks were equally fierce; with a single strike, they could claim the lives of thousands of soldiers.
Furthermore, when Feng Qian Guo's generals tried to block them with thousands of troops, those Demon Beasts and Spirit Beasts could easily withstand their efforts and even gained a slight upper hand.
"Chen Yan, where did you get these? You actually summoned a beast tide," Ling Mo Xie asked Chen Yan as he regained his composure from his shock.
At this moment, Chen Yan appeared somewhat listless, looking lazy and completely unlike his usual composed and serious demeanor.
"Sigh, my body really isn't cooperating right now. It's just summoning a little Spirit Beast Monster from the Lingyu Mountain Range, and it's almost taken half my life!" Chen Yan said, looking at the beast tide below with dissatisfaction.
The battlefield below was almost completely submerged by the beast tide. The generals of Feng Qian Guo were struggling to fend off the leading Demon Beasts and Spirit Beasts, having no time to spare for the soldiers who were almost instantly killed by the Spirit Beast Monsters.
Meanwhile, the generals and soldiers of Izumo Kingdom looked dazed as they watched the sudden changes on the battlefield.
Because Chen Yan had not ordered the Demon Beasts and Spirit Beasts to attack the city, the beast tide had almost automatically bypassed Spirit City. The soldiers on the city walls could leisurely watch as the soldiers of Feng Qian Guo, who had previously overwhelmed them, now appeared even weaker in front of the Spirit Beast Monsters.
"What is going on?" Feng Yixing had originally prepared to wait for "the people sent by His Majesty" to come and hand over matters before quickly retreating. Now, seeing the battlefield suddenly transformed into a place ravaged by beast tides, he was stunned by the scene before him.
"I... I don't know," replied a soldier standing next to Feng Yixing, his expression blank with shock. Hearing Feng Yixing's instinctive inquiry, he could only respond in a daze.
Feng Yixing furrowed his brow. Aside from Spirit City, everywhere else had already been engulfed by the beast tide; it was impossible for them to retreat before it receded.
"What on earth is happening? How many years has it been since Lingyu Mountain Range experienced a beast tide? It can't be! Even if there were a beast tide throughout Izumo Kingdom, that would have been a thousand years ago!" Feng Yixing muttered to himself in a low voice.
"However, it seems this might actually be a good thing! Haha!" Feng Yixing then stopped dwelling on it and laughed heartily. Not only could Spirit City be preserved, but he could also use this opportunity to claim credit for protecting Spirit City and ask His Majesty for a substantial reward!
After all, Spirit City was like the gateway to the capital; preserving it would be a tremendous achievement!
Feng Yixing's eyes squinted with laughter as he calculated how he could gain the most benefit from this situation.
Meanwhile, on the battlefield—no, perhaps it could now be called above the beast tide—Xiao Peng was busy on his back while Ling Mo Xie continuously unleashed skills to attack the soldiers of Feng Qian Guo. It felt good to vent; after all, these guys dared to invade Izumo Kingdom?
Ling Mo Xie may not be from Izumo Kingdom, but he still has some feelings for it, after all, he crossed over to Izumo Kingdom, and the princess of Izumo Kingdom died saving him.
"Alright, boss, shall we go check on Spirit City?" Hong Chi said to Ling Mo Xie after watching him coldly attack the soldiers of Feng Qian Guo for a while.
"Sure!" Ling Mo Xie instinctively glanced at his experience bar and nodded.
Upon looking, he was somewhat astonished; when did he level up to one hundred and ten? Wasn't he just at one hundred and six? Even though he had killed the men in black and quite a few soldiers from Feng Qian Guo, it shouldn't have been possible to level up this quickly. After all, he was now over a hundred levels; it wasn't like before when he could level up just by casually killing some pigs.
To level up now, even if he kept killing monsters, it would take at least three to five days, right?
After checking the system log, he realized that he had unknowingly completed the main quest. Perhaps when facing the men in black, he was so angry that he completely ignored the system's notification sound, which is why he didn't notice.
One of the rewards for the quest was an increase of three levels, which explains why he was now at level one hundred and ten.
While Ling Mo Xie was pleasantly surprised by this unexpected gain, things were not looking good for Feng Qian Guo.
At this moment, several generals from Feng Qian Guo, led by a Spirit Beast Monster, were suffering terribly. Their once shiny armor had become pockmarked, and a few generals were covered in black; it seemed they had encountered fire or lightning attribute Demon Beasts or Spirit Beasts!
"Damn it! Is this the information you gathered?" Windshadow Sovereign roared at a small-statured general beside him. "Did you not say that although there had been beast tides in the Lingyu Mountain Range, it hadn't happened for thousands of years and definitely wouldn't happen now? Is this what you call 'not happening'?"
"Exactly! We from Feng Qian Guo have lost all face because of you. Are we here just to help others fend off a beast tide for free?" the other generals chimed in with sarcastic remarks.
