107: Yun Jiao

Seeing the Ape King so impatient, the Tiger King snorted and roared at the Cultivators behind him.

The Ape King, who had been silent, did the same.

The sky and earth were filled with the continuous roars of Yao Beasts.

At this moment, the wild beasts had already arrived outside the city.

"Engage the enemy!"

Daoist Yunyan held the white long sword in her hand, and with a thought, the Cloud Jiao descended.

Daoist Yunyan stepped onto the Cloud Jiao's back and gave orders to the crowd behind her.

Zhou Kaiding and the other Foundation Establishment Cultivators felt a chill in their hearts, each took out their Spiritual Artifacts, and circulated their magical power.

"Go."

Daoist Yunyan spoke softly, and the Cloud Jiao flew out, followed by the Foundation Establishment Cultivators, heading towards the flying Yao Beasts.

As for the Qi Refining Stage Yao Beasts, they were left to the Qi Refining Stage Cultivators defending the city.

"Roar!"

The Tiger King roared, a massive fireball condensed in his mouth, and shot directly towards Daoist Yunyan.

His double wings flapped, transforming into a streak of flame, closely following the massive fireball.

Daoist Yunyan swung the long sword in her hand, and a giant sword shadow directly struck the fireball.

With a stomp of her foot, Daoist Yunyan's figure vanished, leaving the Cloud Jiao's back.

"Those two are yours."

Daoist Yunyan's voice echoed in the Cloud Jiao's Sea of Consciousness.

"Roar!"

The Cloud Jiao let out a low growl.

Its hundred-zhang-long Jiao Dragon body stretched out, moving to meet the Three-Eyed Green Wolf and the Fierce Ape.

Its Mid Golden Core Stage cultivation was revealed, and large patches of clouds gathered, obscuring the sky and sun, as the Jiao Dragon's breath spewed from its mouth towards the two Great Demon Kings.

Daoist Yunyan actually intended to hold off the Mid Golden Core Stage Blazing Flame Flying Tiger Demon King by herself.

She wanted the Cloud Jiao, with its higher cultivation, to deal with the two Early Golden Core Stage Demon Kings.

Only then would there be a chance of victory.

However, Daoist Yunyan's own risk increased greatly.

Golden Core Stage battles were grand in Aura, tearing apart the sky and earth.

If it were in the past, Zhou Kaiding would definitely observe carefully, comprehending the many changes within.

But today, he couldn't afford to.

The golden wheel behind Zhou Kaiding spun, his cheng fa sword continuously swung out, and his heart was filled with extreme vigilance.

Around him, there were not only fellow Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators but also many Foundation Establishment Stage Great Demons, engaged in constant slaughter; if he wasn't careful, he would be injured, or even fall.

Zhou Kaiding was too busy to care for himself, the golden light transformed by his Vow Wheel vibrated continuously, various Yao Beast Divine Abilities attacked, and he was caught in a chaotic battle.

On the city wall, numerous Qi Refining Stage Cultivators continuously attacked the incoming wild beasts and Yao Beasts with Talismans, Magical Artifacts, and Spells.

The Tianshui City Great Formation manifested, receiving the impact of the massive beast tide.

Zhou Lihai guarded the city wall, his face slightly pale, but he remained relatively calm.

With a flip of his hand, more than ten fiery red stones floated before him, magical power surged, and they shot into the beast tide that was continuously impacting the Great Formation.

The fiery red stones fell into the beast tide and exploded with a roar, instantly blasting all Yao Beasts below Mid-stage Qi Refining into pieces.

These were the Zhou Family's unique explosive flame bombs.

Zhou Lihai had personally developed them, and before coming here, he had taken out all the Family's stock and placed them in a separate Storage Pouch.

Now, they came in handy against this beast tide, and the consumption of magical power was very small.

Although their power was not great, they were more than enough to deal with these low-level Qi Refining Yao Beasts.

On the city wall, Cultivators from other big Families also displayed their own methods.

Talismans transformed into flames, long swords, ice thorns, and vines, exploding in the beast groups.

Magical Artifacts flew, Spells intertwined, all desperately resisting the impact of the beast tide.

"Bang!"

Zhou Kaiding's surrounding Vow Wheel was shattered, and his figure was sent flying by a tail strike from a Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Green Wolf, falling straight down.

"Boom!"

Zhou Kaiding was smashed to the ground by this blow, creating a pit, and several Yao Beasts below were killed or injured by the impact.

In the pit, Zhou Kaiding's face turned pale, his magical power was in disarray, he quickly flipped his left hand, took out a Medicinal Pill, and swallowed it.

Magical power circulated forcefully, the Vow Wheel reappeared behind him, rapidly expanding, protecting his entire body.

Only then did Zhou Kaiding let out a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the Mid-stage Foundation Establishment Green Wolf did not pursue him.

Beside the pit, a Late Qi Refining Stage Thousand-Eyed Centipede's body constantly swayed, shaking off the surrounding dirt, and crawled out of the soil pile.

He had just been hiding in the beast tide, but was suddenly buried by dirt.

Although this Thousand-Eyed Centipede seemed to be rushing towards Tianshui City, it was actually just constantly moving left and right.

After such a long time, the Yao Beasts behind it had already reached outside Tianshui City, but it was still circling in this spot.

"Hmm?"

The Thousand-Eyed Centipede crawled out of the dirt pile; after all, it was a Late Qi Refining Stage Yao Beast, and this small impact could not injure it.

However, when it saw Zhou Kaiding in the pit, protected by the golden round wheel, its heart skipped a beat.

"This person looks a bit familiar..."

Before the Thousand-Eyed Centipede could react, a sword light had already arrived before him, and then, pain engulfed him, his body shattered, and green blood spurted out, splattering everywhere.

Zhou Kaiding circulated his magical power, his figure soared into the sky, heading towards the Foundation Establishment Stage battlefield where the entanglement and slaughter continued.

"Fellow Daoist Ji, I'm here to help you!"

Zhou Kaiding transmitted his Divine Sense, catching the Iron-Backed Pig Demon off guard, and several sword lights swung out, striking its back.

Struck by this blow, the Iron-Backed Pig Demon's mind was distracted, and Ji Changyue seized the opportunity, flicking his horsetail whisk, the white silk threads greatly expanded, forming a net of white silk that bound the Iron-Backed Pig Demon, rendering it unable to move.

Zhou Kaiding seized the opportunity and chanted softly in his heart:

"Vow Wheel · Attack."

The circular ring around him condensed into a Golden Vow Wheel, which Zhou Kaiding pointed, and the Vow Wheel flew out, entering the Iron-Backed Pig Demon's abdomen, creating a huge wound.

Ji Changyue did not hesitate either, he spun his horsetail whisk, and taking advantage of the Iron-Backed Pig Demon's abdominal injury, he twisted its neck, clearly killing it.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Zhou."

Ji Changyue quickly thanked him, and the two joined forces, attacking another black Fierce Ape.

Above the sky.

Daoist Yunyan's hair was disheveled, blood seeped from the corner of her mouth, and her Aura was weak.

"Damn it..."

"Why hasn't the Cloud Jiao succeeded yet?"

Water condensed beneath Daoist Yunyan's feet, and her figure moved continuously, narrowly dodging the Blazing Flame Flying Tiger's attacks.

In the distance, clouds permeated, a silver-white Jiao Dragon continuously leaped out, and then re-entered the clouds, entangled with the Three-Eyed Green Wolf and the Fierce Ape, in an inseparable struggle.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, I'm here to help you!"

Just as Daoist Yunyan was about to be unable to hold on, a voice came from behind.

"Fellow Daoist Liang."

Daoist Yunyan's face lit up with joy.

The newcomer was none other than Daoist Master Liang, the Golden Core Stage Old Ancestor of the Liang Family from Huichuan Prefecture.

In an instant, a Cultivator in a scarlet Magical Robe arrived beside Daoist Yunyan, jointly confronting the powerful attacks of the Blazing Flame Flying Tiger with Daoist Yunyan.

With Daoist Master Liang's assistance, Daoist Yunyan's pressure greatly reduced, and the burden in her heart was lifted.

"Fellow Daoist Yun, I will hold this fellow for a moment; you quickly go and assist the Cloud Jiao to kill those two Early Golden Core Stage Demon Kings."

"Thus, the beast tide can be broken."

The two joined forces in an entanglement, and Daoist Master Liang transmitted his voice to Daoist Yunyan.

Daoist Yunyan pondered for a moment; since Daoist Master Liang said so, he must be confident. Then, she nodded to Daoist Master Liang, gathered power for a strike with the long sword in her hand, and retreated explosively, heading towards the Cloud Jiao's location.

Within the clouds.

"Cloud Jiao, let's join forces and finish this quickly."

Daoist Yunyan's figure turned, cutting in between the three Yao Beasts, and transmitted her Divine Sense to the Cloud Jiao.

"Good!"

The Cloud Jiao's voice rang out.

Daoist Yunyan circulated her magical power, attacking the Three-Eyed Green Wolf.

Just then, a silver-white Jiao Dragon tail silently approached, suddenly exerting force, and the slender Jiao Dragon tail pierced through Daoist Yunyan's chest.

"Pfft..."

Daoist Yunyan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, her face showing an expression of disbelief.

"Cloud Jiao, you..."

Suffering such a severe injury, Daoist Yunyan's Aura rapidly faded.

Forcibly circulating her magical power, Daoist Yunyan's Divine Sense moved.

"Roar, roar..."

The Cloud Jiao's body continuously rolled, its Jiao Dragon tail could no longer exert force, and its cries were mournful, clearly enduring immense pain.

"Still not making a move?"

The Cloud Jiao's resentful voice echoed in the minds of the two Great Demon Kings.

The Ape King and the Wolf King exchanged glances, and their figures vanished.

A moment later, the Cloud Jiao stopped rolling.

"Hoo... hoo..."

Floating in the clouds, the Cloud Jiao gasped for breath.

"Hahahaha!"

"Xuanqing Sect, Old Man He Run..."

The Cloud Jiao had actually endured it.

Daoist Yunyan was not True Person He Run after all; the difference in strength was too great.

After killing Daoist Yunyan, the Ape King and the Wolf King flew towards the Tiger King.

In the distance, Daoist Master Liang was struggling to delay, but seeing the two Great Demon Kings approaching him unscathed, his heart continuously sank, and his face changed unpredictably.

"Damn it..."

"Flee!"

In an instant, Daoist Master Liang made a decision, his figure retreated explosively, flying towards Huichuan Prefecture.

The Tiger King's Blazing Flame wings flapped, chasing after Daoist Master Liang, the Ape King followed closely, only the Wolf King floated in the air, watching the Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators who were still fighting.

In the air below, many Foundation Establishment Cultivators, seeing the situation, immediately knew that something had gone wrong.

"Flee!"

Someone shouted loudly, flying outwards.

Looking at the Wolf King floating in the air and the many Foundation Establishment Stage Great Demons whose Aura had greatly increased, Zhou Kaiding's heart felt bitter.

He feigned a move, his figure returned to Tianshui City, and he found Zhou Lihai.

"Father, we can finally fight side by side."

Zhou Lihai spoke softly.

Zhou Kaiding nodded.

Outside the city, the green wolf shadow continuously vanished and reappeared, and the fleeing Foundation Establishment Cultivators rapidly decreased... On this day.

The Cloud Jiao devoured its master, Daoist Yunyan died, Daoist Master Liang was severely injured, and Tianshui City was breached.

Zhou Kaiding and Zhou Lihai died in Tianshui City.
