Swordsman of the Sword God
Ch. 88 - Fighting a Demon Beast
One of the city guards went ahead. They recognized Luo Zheng and Qing Zen, as they were the most famous youths in Tianyun City, their strength had surpassed their generation.
Once these demon beasts entered the close range of the city wall, they would start attacking.
Wang Shu quickly arrived at the scene. After being told by the guards about what had happened, he walked out from the entrance of the city, watching the demonic beasts that continued to chase the two boys who were on the verge of reaching the city.
"The demon beast is at least still at Emperor Level, almost reaching Legend rank!" Wang Shu spoke in seriousness as he tried to check the Black Dragon's strength.
"What!"
All the guards were shocked by Wang Shu's words.
Everyone could not help feeling restless, nervous and worried ...
"Wang Hong, gather the Emperor level experts who are here. We can't let this demonic beast into the city!"
Wang Hong nodded and turned to tell one of his followers.
There was one Legend level expert, two at the Emperor level, and more than 10 at the King level realm, not to mention more than 30 people in the Great Heaven realm.
THE GROAAAR!
The Black Dragon finally arrived, almost catching up with Luo Zheng and Qing Zen.
Wang Shu, Wang Hong, and the other guards set up a crescent moon formation, with Wang Shu in the middle.
Luo Zheng and Qing Zen both came closer and stopped. Although they were tired, they had to join the formation and help fight against this demonic beast. They would have no face if they were to escape rather than help, since they were carrying these demonic beasts, they would at least have to do something.
The black dragon did not care to look at the humans who were in the infamy and headed towards them, entering the semicircle.
Wang Shu stepped forward and slashed out with his sword.
Swosh...
The black dragon growled in pain, as Wang Shu's sword managed to injure one of its claws slightly, thus making it even more furious and began to launch an attack against Wang Shu.
Swosh.. Swosh.. Swosh's....
Wang Shu dodged, attacked, and defended himself from the incessant attacks of demonic beasts, also obtaining some scratches and claws from the dragon.
The surrounding guards did not just stand and watch.
When their City Lord stepped forward, they started throwing their weapons as well. With their spears or arrows, they threw them towards the demonic beast, successfully slowing it down and even preventing it from attacking with its claws and seriously injuring Wang Shu.
Everyone has perfect coordination. With decades of facing demonic beasts, they had all trained fully to hone their skills both as groups and individuals.
This is a big fight. More than 30 people were fighting the demonic beasts.
The guards who were not at the heaven level, watching from the other direction, could not believe such a terrifying battle was going on. They had been ordered to watch rather than engage, as they would only be cannon fodder.
Luo Zheng and Qing Zen also started attacking this demonic beast. They had been driven out and foiled their plans, causing them to lose face, so they began to take full revenge.
The forest dragon held out for almost an hour, attacking everyone who attacked him, roaring and trying to bite those who were nearby. His body began to fill with wounds over time.
The looming roar that sounded at first grew weaker with time.
Swosh....!
Wang Shu managed to stick his sword on the head of this demonic beast, thus ending the battle.
Wang Shu's body was filled with wounds, blood covering more than half of his body. The other guards were no better either. Some were seriously injured, until they collapsed. Others lost some arms and legs as the mouth of the demonic beast reached out and bit them.
It was a tough battle. It lasted almost an hour.
Another lower-ranking guard, immediately went to help the injured. Others took care of the bodies.
Both Luo Zheng and Qing Zen managed to survive with some serious injuries. Somehow, when they were about to receive a life-threatening serious injury, the guards protected them. As direct descendants of a large family, they could not die.
The two of them did not say anything about what might happen to Lin Meng. They believe he may be dead. If they said anything, the Lin Clan would be suspicious of them, creating a great conflict. Therefore, they are frustrated at losing their women.
Knowing that the other demon beast was in the form of a bird that could fly easily, they had to report it to the City Lord. The demonic beast definitely killed Lin Meng, so they reported that they went to practice, nothing more, and the two of them met at night, and were then chased by the black Dragon..
Wang Shu was surprised to see these two young men were already Emperor level experts, so he then congratulated them. Now he had to examine the results and consequences of the battle.
Wang Hong helped Wang Shu, propping up his body so he could walk.
"The nightmare has just begun. It seems like there really is a calamity in front of us ..." Wang Shu sighed as he recalled something.
Wang Hong did not say anything, but he knew what the City Lord meant.
The attack of the large horde of demonic beasts will still come in a few days!
It was like living in a hell that would be unleashed once the demonic beast decided to attack.
The Patriarchs and ancestors of the great Clans arrived at the location shortly afterwards. They found out too late because some low-ranking guards working as night guards on the wall told them, as they did not participate in the battle.
Without even waiting for a second, they headed for the location.
Knowing that the danger had passed, they all relaxed. They also apologized to Wang Shu for being late.
Wang Shu was not angry at them. He had even forgotten to call them, only concentrating on summoning and gathering the people nearby to prevent the demonic beasts from entering the city.
Seeing the results of the battle, Wang Shu sighed. Then he saw the body of the demonic beast. This one never appeared in the historical record, so it must have been a difficult battle. The strength of that demonic beast seemed to be able to reach the Legend level within a few days.
This was a good thing since the demonic beasts decided to attack earlier.
Although they suffered many casualties, at least they avoided future misfortunes. If this demonic beast were to join the demon horde later on, Tianyun City would be in great danger.
Looking at the body of the demonic beast, Wang Shu could not help but think.
"I hope we can withstand the onslaught of the hordes of demons that are coming...."
"Where is the young man? I hope he can help us deal with this."
...
Next day.
Early in the morning, the first rays of sunlight began to reach the forest. The tall, shady trees let the sunlight through the ground, starting to get rid of the cold air and the shadows of the night.
The sound of a waterfall falling to the bottom of the lake still conveys a calm and relaxed feeling.
Two interlocking bodies lay on a blanket near the lake.
Fei Hung woke up first, but did not move, as he did not want to wake Lin Meng who was sleeping by his side almost lying on top of him. His right arm crossed Fei Hung's chest, hugging him, as his slender legs intertwined with his.
Both are clearly naked. Only one blanket covered most of their bodies. Fei Hung had broken down another blanket from his spatial ring and used it to cover the two to prevent the cold night air that was bothering Lin Meng.
Fei Hung was observing the sky through the cracks in the leaves of the trees.
The layer of heavenly seals on his dantian had been completely broken, so some of his cultivation strength had returned.
