Chapter 100: The Hatred of Lian Yun
Over five thousand people, accounting for about one-tenth of the entire population of the East District, likely possessed more than thirty percent of its strength.
As this overwhelming momentum capable of sweeping through the East District formed, those who were initially anxious began to feel a sense of calm.
They adjusted and prepared individually, and surprisingly, the five thousand did not make much noise.
Even when the thunderous sounds of their return echoed, it did not instill enough fear in many to halt their original actions.
Minutes later, the Evil Spirit Tide returned. The ground shook as the bodies of the Evil Spirits crashed against the walls like buildings swaying in a storm.
However, this time no one fell from the upper floors; nearly everyone at the edge had already deployed their Spider-Man abilities to cling to the walls.
The Evil Spirit Tide traveled several kilometers before returning almost unchanged, suggesting that there were no human or Demon Clan forces outside the East District to intercept them. Meanwhile, the Northern District and Southern District must have seen many casualties among humans and Demon Clan members.
The long Evil Spirit Tide rushed through the streets where everyone stood and quickly moved away.
As the tail of the Evil Spirit Tide disappeared at the end of the street below, dozens of figures leaped down from high-rise buildings.
Lian Yun was among them, positioned atop one of the tallest buildings.
Lian Yun was the first to leap down, gliding along rooftops until reaching a height of a hundred meters. Then, he jumped out and began free-falling. Just before reaching the ground, he flipped and shot out his Spider-Man webbing to stick to the wall of a high-rise building. Using some cushioning force, he landed safely and then sprinted towards the direction where the Evil Spirit Tide had retreated.
After distancing himself nearly four to five hundred meters from his previous high-rise location, he arrived at a vast plaza and turned back. There, he saw countless figures rushing towards him in a frenzy.
Following behind this wave of nearly five thousand people were countless ghostly shadows.
The howling of ghosts and wolves echoed in the air, followed by a thunderous roar that had not yet faded. The situation was one that ordinary people could hardly endure, as it was deadly on both ends.
Yet, over five thousand people still gathered, a testament to the lingering courage of humanity.
Zhou Tong and Murong Ying, along with their teams, were the first to reach Lian Yun's side. They then spread out, maintaining a distance of three to five meters between each other, forming a defensive line thirty meters long.
The Silver Prosperity Group and Elder Yin arrived with about a hundred people on either side of Lian Yun's team. Each of their teams consisted of only ten people at the front, covering a width of sixty meters. They then divided into four or five squads, with the last squad facing away from the crowd.
It seemed they were preparing for a prolonged battle, intending to rotate personnel at the front to prevent a sudden collapse of their defense.
Subsequently, other teams continued to extend towards both sides of the Silver Prosperity Group and Elder Yin's teams.
Regardless of the number of personnel in each team, they were all divided into four or five squads. As a result, the length of each team's defensive line was barely sixty meters.
Thus, the forty or so teams on Lian Yun's side had established a defensive line that was less than two kilometers long.
While two kilometers might not seem like much, the sight it created was truly spectacular.
For instance, an average car is about four to five meters long; therefore, the defensive line established by Lian Yun's side was equivalent to connecting over five hundred nearly six hundred cars in a row.
This was almost an unseeable situation.
Moreover, before Lian Yun's defensive line was fully formed, the Evil Tide had already surged forward.
However, when two exceptionally strong Spirits appeared beside Lian Yun, several Spirits charging at the front suddenly let out piercing screams and fled to the sides or backward.
Clearly, those Spirits had witnessed Lian Yun's battle just moments ago.
However, Zhou Tong looked at Lian Yun beside the Left Azure Dragon and Right White Tiger, nearly spitting blood.
He knew that Lian Yun originally had no Ghost Slaves, but now having two clearly indicated that Lian Yun had tamed them more than two hours ago.
Zhou Tong initially wanted to scold Lian Yun for not capturing a few more, but upon seeing Zhao Jinlong and Zhao Jinhui's Armor flickering in and out, he became so enraged that he couldn't speak.
Two were fine; if they were a bit stronger, it wouldn't matter. But why did it have to be the Fierce Soldier, such a rare Monarch-level Ghost Slave?
Others might spend their entire lives searching for a single Fierce Soldier Ghost Slave, yet Lian Yun had obtained two at once. Wasn't this just asking for jealousy?
Zhou Tong felt a bit chaotic inside, but his demeanor remained composed. He released a giant wolf Ghost Slave and looked at Lian Yun, asking, "How many Spirits did you kill a while ago?"
"About two thousand!"
"All-out kills, taking nothing, just to have these two Fierce Soldiers come to you?"
Zhou Tong knew that Lian Yun definitely hadn't come away empty-handed; otherwise, how could Lian Yun have skyrocketed from the Dingzhong Realm to the top tier? The reason for this was entirely to mislead others' assumptions.
Understanding Zhou Tong's intent, Lian Yun shook his head slightly and said, "Who knows if there are any Fierce Soldiers in the Evil Spirit Tide? I was just trying my luck at the time. I didn't expect to be so fortunate as to gain the recognition of the Golden Dragon and Golden Tiger."
"It is our honor to follow a master of unparalleled martial prowess."
Murong Ying had been somewhat puzzled, but upon hearing Zhao Jinlong refer to Lian Yun as "master," she was shocked.
Although she had never seen Lian Yun's Ghost Slaves, she understood Lian Yun's character and knew that he wouldn't allow his Ghost Slaves to call him master. Thus, Zhao Jinlong addressing Lian Yun as such indicated that Lian Yun had recently tamed Zhao Jinlong and Zhao Jinhui—these Two Ghosts.
At this moment, she felt a bit disoriented. She hadn't expected that the previous Lian Yun had no Ghost Slaves at all, nor did she anticipate that the first two Ghost Slaves he newly acquired would be the kind that even Monarchs would fight over—a pair of Fierce Soldier Ghost Slaves.
In that moment, she felt an immense joy for Lian Yun.
As for Silver Prosperity and Elder Yin's team, they were met with envious and jealous gazes, some even revealing a hint of crazed and deep-seated greed.
Lian Yun paid no mind to this; he only released Zhao Jinlong and Zhao Jinhui to throw off suspicion and prevent some visitors from the capital from discovering his true identity.
To maintain a stable defense, Lian Yun dared not venture too deep, so he could only attack the Spirits closest to him.
After defeating them, he used his spiritual energy to extract some Spiritual Energy from the corpses of the Spirits.
Meanwhile, Zhao Jinlong and Zhao Jinhui moved in and out of the Evil Tide, disrupting its overwhelming force.
Later, Zhou Tong and Murong Ying's team saw Zhou Tong release a giant wolf Spirit.
Then he and Murong Ying, along with nine others, allowed their Ghost Slaves to transform into black mist within the Ghost Group, enveloping themselves to form a Ghost Battle Body, making it impossible for outsiders to discern what type of Ghost Slaves they possessed.
