101: Zhang Baiming
Just as Lin Feng and the others were despairing and considering retreat, a Golden Core cultivator flew from within the city.
The Golden Core cultivator was clad in a golden robe, emanating a powerful aura.
He held a long sword, its tip pointed directly at the third-tier Yao Beast.
"Vile beast, how dare you cause trouble in my Silver Sparrow City!" the Golden Core cultivator roared, then swung the long sword in his hand.
A golden Sword Qi tore through the sky, heading straight for the third-tier Yao Beast.
The third-tier Yao Beast sensed the Golden Core cultivator's powerful aura, and a hint of fear flashed in its eyes.
But it quickly composed itself, opened its massive maw, and spat out a black Demonic Qi, which collided with the golden Sword Qi, creating a deafening roar.
Seeing this, the Golden Core cultivator was not disheartened.
He flickered, transforming into a golden streak of light, and charged towards the third-tier Yao Beast.
The long sword in his hand danced impenetrably, each strike containing astonishing power.
The third-tier Yao Beast was not to be outdone; it swung its massive claws, battling the Golden Core cultivator.
The two went back and forth, locked in an intense struggle.
Lin Feng and the others felt a slight ease in their hearts upon seeing this.
Lin Feng did not recognize this Golden Core cultivator; only City Lord Liu Tianfeng of Silver Sparrow City was a Golden Core cultivator.
Lin Feng and the others didn't care where this Cultivator came from; with the addition of this Golden Core cultivator, they might have a chance to defeat this third-tier Yao Beast.
However, just then, a series of roars came from outside the city walls.
Lin Feng and the others looked, only to see more Yao Beasts surging from all directions, many of them second-tier Yao Beasts.
Lin Feng's heart sank; facing so many Yao Beasts, it seemed this battle had only just begun.
This was no time to hide their strength.
Yao Beasts climbed onto the city walls, fighting with the Cultivators and mortal Martial Artists.
Lin Feng had just killed several first-tier Yao Beasts when a Blazing Fire Lion appeared before him.
Lin Feng immediately brought out his Fire Cloud Fan, Spirit Rhinoceros Shield, and Crimson Seal.
The Spirit Rhinoceros Shield revolved around Lin Feng's body.
The Crimson Seal floated above Lin Feng's head, emitting crimson light that deterred the Yao Beasts attempting to approach him, making them hesitant to act.
Meanwhile, the Fire Cloud Fan gently waved in Lin Feng's hand, each wave accompanied by surging flames that incinerated the Yao Beasts daring to challenge his authority.
Facing this second-tier Blazing Fire Lion, Lin Feng showed no fear.
He took a deep breath, channeling his spiritual power to its peak, ready for this fierce battle.
The Blazing Fire Lion roared, its body engulfed in raging flames, like a giant fireball, pouncing towards Lin Feng.
Lin Feng's figure flickered, skillfully dodging the Blazing Fire Lion's attack.
He seized the opportunity, fiercely swung his Fire Cloud Fan, and a massive fiery tornado instantly formed, sweeping towards the Blazing Fire Lion.
The Blazing Fire Lion struggled painfully within the fiery tornado.
At this moment, Lin Feng seized the chance to use his crimson hair ornament.
This Magical Artifact, in principle, should not have much effect on a Foundation Establishment Realm Yao Beast, but this Blazing Fire Lion was currently struggling against Lin Feng's attack.
It was struck in the head by Lin Feng's instant attack, and the beast let out a mournful cry.
The Blazing Fire Lion, just as it engaged Lin Feng, was slain by Lin Feng's full-power strike.
Its Divine Soul, at this moment, tried to escape from its body, but Lin Feng, with quick hands and eyes, captured it and deftly placed it into a jade bottle.
Having dealt with the Blazing Fire Lion, Lin Feng did not relax in the slightest.
He looked around and found that the battle on the city walls was still fierce.
The Yao Beasts seemed tireless, continuously attacking the Cultivators on the city walls.
Even with the Golden Core Senior intervening to block the third-tier Yao Beast on the south city wall, facing so many Yao Beasts, he was clearly struggling.
If this continued, the south city wall would fall.
His heart stirred, and he decided to take the initiative.
Lin Feng's figure shot out, like a leopard, charging into the horde of Yao Beasts outside the city wall.
The Fire Cloud Fan in his hand continuously waved, and streaks of fire Spells poured onto the Yao Beast horde like a torrential storm.
Under Lin Feng's fierce assault, the Yao Beasts retreated, no longer daring to approach the city wall easily.
Lin Feng couldn't help but look up at the Golden Core Senior in the sky.
He saw that he was still locked in an intense battle with the third-tier Yao Beast.
Lin Feng secretly admired him; this Golden Core cultivator's strength was indeed extraordinary.
However, the sheer number of Yao Beasts was too great; even with the Golden Core cultivator's participation, the pressure on the city walls remained immense.
This couldn't go on; a way had to be found to change the tide of battle.
He pondered for a moment and decided to utilize the Magical Artifacts he possessed.
Lin Feng unleashed the Crimson Seal, which floated in mid-air, emitting crimson light, continuously repelling the Yao Beasts attempting to climb the city walls from below.
Subsequently, Lin Feng took out several spiritual talismans.
These spiritual talismans were ones he had refined earlier; though their power was ordinary, he had many of them.
Spiritual talismans seemed endless in Lin Feng's hands, continuously appearing and shooting out from his hand towards the Cultivators attempting to attack them.
With Lin Feng, a Foundation Establishment cultivator, intercepting the Yao Beasts that managed to charge up, the number of successful breaches greatly decreased.
This also gave the many Cultivators on the wall a chance to breathe.
These Cultivators seized the opportunity to either repel or slay the charging Yao Beasts.
The precarious crisis on the south city wall was alleviated.
At this point, many Cultivators breathed a sigh of relief.
The Yao Beasts attempted to attack again but were repelled by the Cultivators and Martial Artists present.
Both sides entered a stalemate.
Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a little anxious, looking up at the sky once more.
He saw that the battle between the Golden Core cultivator and the third-tier Yao Beast was growing fiercer.
The Golden Core cultivator's long sword moved like a swimming Dragon, weaving among the Yao Beasts, each strike precisely hitting the Yao Beast's vital points.
Although the third-tier Yao Beast was powerful, under the Golden Core cultivator's fierce assault, it gradually began to show signs of fatigue.
Seeing that it was no match, the Yao Beast could only let out a roar, and its figure quickly retreated.
All the Yao Beasts followed, retreating backward, and the third-tier Yao Beast also retreated with them.
Seeing the Yao Beasts retreat, the Golden Core cultivator did not dare to pursue.
Instead, he returned to the city wall.
He looked at Lin Feng and the others, nodding slightly as a greeting.
Lin Feng and the others quickly returned the bow, their hearts filled with gratitude towards this Golden Core cultivator.
The Golden Core cultivator spoke, "Everyone, although these Yao Beasts have retreated, they certainly won't give up easily.
We must be prepared to meet their next attack."
Lin Feng and the others nodded in agreement.
They knew that the Golden Core cultivator was right.
The Yao Beasts' retreat was only temporary.
They would surely return, and when they did, the battle would be even more intense.
Lin Feng looked at the Golden Core cultivator and asked, "Senior, where are you from? Why are you here?"
The Golden Core cultivator smiled slightly and said, "I am Zhang Baiming, Vice President of the Twelve Market Cities.
Alright, the crisis here is only temporarily resolved.
I need to discuss the matter of these Yao Beasts with your City Lord.
You all guard this place well."
