1212: Reaching the second line of defense

After the pretty woman's words fell, not only did the four passengers feel despair, but Zhou Dahai, who was controlling the shuttle, also had a complex expression on his face.

Good heavens!

Little sister, you hit the nail on the head!

He thought speechlessly, secretly transmitting a message to the pretty woman:

"Yingying, I'll find a way to clear out a blank area and block those few tenth-level Demon Generals later. You use the Small Teleportation Talisman on you to leave here. The Small Teleportation Talisman can take you a thousand miles away in an instant. These Demon Calamity Monsters probably won't be able to chase you."

"Big Brother?"

Zhou Yingying's heart trembled upon hearing this, and she bit her lip tightly.

She knew very well that if she used the Small Teleportation Talisman to escape, only death awaited her Big Brother.

But if she didn't leave...

Looking at the current situation, their siblings would probably both die here!

For a moment, struggle appeared in Zhou Yingying's eyes.

However, just then...

"Everyone, look, what's that?!"

The burly man among the four passengers suddenly shrieked, pointing at the sky with an incredibly excited expression on his face.

Everyone looked up and saw a terrifying ball of light descending from the sky, moving so fast that its surface generated streaks of flames from friction with the air.

"Is that...? Reinforcements have arrived!"

Zhou Dahai, the strongest person on the scene, vaguely noticed a figure within the ball of light, and his heart suddenly filled with pleasant surprise.

"Don't be so dejected, our reinforcements have arrived!"

"Quickly cheer up! If we're not careful and fail to block the Demon Calamity Monster's attack at this moment, wouldn't that be a huge loss?"

He shouted, concentrating on controlling the shuttle, preparing to find an opportunity to break through the encirclement.

Meanwhile, everyone else also perked up, blocking the surrounding Demon Calamity Monsters from getting close.

However, in the next second, all six of them were dumbfounded.

They saw the ball of light stop in mid-air after descending to a certain height, and a tall and upright figure emerged from it.

Then, this figure extended a hand towards the Demon Calamity Monsters below, waving it as if shooing away flies.

Boom!

Energy rioted between heaven and earth, and ice blades appeared out of thin air, instantly engulfing all the Demon Calamity Monsters.

At this moment, even those few tenth-level Demon Generals could not escape the fate of being instantly killed.

"Damn it!"

"The rescue mission issued by this Daoist actually invited a Realm Lord level powerhouse?"

Looking at the instantly empty area around them, Zhou Dahai was dumbfounded, and the expressions of the people next to him also became horrified.

The terrifying Demon Calamity Monsters that had just been making them run for their lives and were on the verge of annihilation were all wiped out by one person with a single hand!

This power was simply unimaginable to them!

"So handsome!"

Zhou Yingying and a female cultivator among the passengers couldn't help but have a strange glint in their eyes as they looked at the handsome figure in the sky.

...

[Detection: Current rescue mission completed. Rescue mission ended. Mission reward military merit has been issued!]

The voice of the Array Spirit suddenly sounded, and Wang Chen couldn't help but show a smile on his face after hearing it.

The group of Demon Calamity Monsters below only provided him with a little over ten thousand military merit points, which was less than what he received for completing the mission.

This was simply double the happiness!

Thinking this, Wang Chen descended from the sky.

"Loose Cultivator Zhou Dahai pays his respects to Senior, thank you Senior for saving my life!"

"Thank you Senior for saving our lives!"

At this moment, Zhou Dahai, who had reacted, quickly stepped forward to express his gratitude, and the others also hurriedly followed.

"Mm!"

Wang Chen nodded indifferently, his gaze sweeping over the dispirited crowd, then he waved his hand, sending out a white light that enveloped everyone.

The free-floating wood-attribute energy in the world converged, instantly revitalizing Zhou Dahai and the others, dispelling their fatigue, and refilling their nearly depleted Law power.

This was precisely a trace of the power released by Wang Chen's activation of the Wood Law, which could easily restore most injuries to beings weaker than him.

As the saying goes, 'send the Buddha all the way to the west.' These Loose Cultivators in the Demon Disaster Frontline Battlefield were at the lowest level of existence. Taking out over ten thousand military merit points probably already emptied their family savings. It would be too tragic if they encountered a random Demon Calamity Monster after he left and died due to their poor condition!

"Thank you, Senior! Thank you, Senior!"

Feeling the changes in their bodies, Zhou Dahai and the others were even more excited, never having expected that this Realm Lord Senior would be so kind as to voluntarily help them recover from their injuries.

Zhou Yingying and the female cultivator in the group spoke even more sweetly at this moment:

"Senior's great kindness is something this humble girl cannot repay, and I am willing to be your servant to repay Senior's great kindness..."

As they spoke, they both bowed simultaneously.

However, a force instantly landed on them, immobilizing them.

"Stop!"

Wang Chen's gaze swept over the two women, his eyes a little helpless.

"It was just a small effort, you two don't need to be like this!"

"Besides, I have already received payment for my actions!"

His expression was indifferent, and he casually pointed in the direction from which he had flown:

"The Demon Calamity Monsters in this direction have been cleared by me. It will be very safe for you to return to the Third Defense Line along this direction later."

After speaking, Wang Chen ignored the dejected expressions on the two women's faces, and with a movement of his body, he disappeared from the shuttle.

Only after he left did the restraining force on Zhou Yingying and the female cultivator dissipate.

At this moment, the two women exchanged a glance, then simultaneously averted their gazes.

"Pfft!"

"Little hussy!"

...

After a small interlude, Wang Chen continued on his journey.

Three more days passed, and he finally entered the range of the Second Defense Line.

A massive fortress, so large that its end could not be seen, appeared in his vision, like the boundary of the sky, incredibly grand and magnificent!

Because when he arrived at the Third Defense Line, Wang Chen was directly teleported into the defense line itself, so this was his first time seeing the full scope of a defense line.

The towering walls, nearly a thousand meters high, had Formation patterns carved into their surface, emitting an incredibly sturdy aura. Wang Chen's brief probe revealed that the sturdiness of these city walls had reached an astonishing degree.

With his current powerful strength, even if he unleashed a full-power attack at his limit, he would probably only cause damage within a hundred-meter radius on the city wall, which was completely negligible for a city wall that seemed to have no end.

"Such a sturdy defense line must have been created by pouring in unimaginable resources. It's truly incredible!"

Wang Chen thought to himself, quickly approaching the Second Defense Line, and soon arrived at the boundary of the Second Defense Line's Guardian Array barrier.

Here, there were hundreds of entrances and exits, and each one was guarded by several cultivators who checked those passing through.

Wang Chen descended from the sky, casually chose an entrance, and prepared to queue up to enter.

However, at this moment, his identity jade token suddenly emitted a purple light, instantly attracting the attention of the cultivators guarding the entrance and exit.

"Welcome, Senior, to the Second Defense Line. You may pass directly through the Formation barrier and enter the Second Defense Line without any inspection."

A ninth-level cultivator came forward and respectfully led the way for Wang Chen.
