380: Chapter 380 The Qinghe Sect's reinforcements arrive

After Ling Yu finished reading the second message sent by her father, she knew that seeking help from the Demon Slaying Hall would be useless, as the Hall Master of the Demon Slaying Hall was only at the Nascent Soul Realm (Ninth Layer).

However, given her status, it was not easy to see the Sect Master directly. Therefore, she decided to first find the Hall Master of the Demon Slaying Hall, explain the situation, and have the Hall Master take her to request an audience with the Sect Master.

Things went more smoothly than expected. Upon learning that a massive horde of demons had appeared within the jurisdiction of the Qingshan Sword Sect and that these demons were extremely powerful, the Hall Master of the Demon Slaying Hall did not hesitate to take Ling Yu to visit Sect Master Zhang Qingyue.

Zhang Qingyue's strength had already reached the Spirit Severing Realm, specifically the Fourth Layer. Upon learning about the demons, she took the matter very seriously. She immediately led two Spirit Severing Realm experts and twelve Nascent Soul Realm (Ninth Layer) experts to head to Yanlong City first.

In that short time, the Destruction Beast army had already arrived at the walls of Yanlong City. The city defenses of Yanlong City were far stronger than those of Baifeng City. Before the three hundred thousand Destruction Beasts arrived, the city's defensive Formation had already been activated.

Liu Hong, the City Lord, gathered the powerful experts of Yanlong City onto the city walls.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

The next moment, the Destruction Beasts below shot up into the sky one after another, slamming into the defensive Formation. Under the impact of the Destruction Beasts, the defensive Formation flickered incessantly, threatening to collapse at any moment.

Meanwhile, behind the Destruction Beasts, Sect Master Luo Jue and his group watched with tense expressions. Although they wanted to save Yanlong City, their strength was insufficient, so they could only hope that the experts from the Qinghe Sect would arrive as soon as possible.

"City Lord, what should we do? It looks like the defensive Formation won't last much longer!" A Clan Chief of a Golden Core Realm cultivation Family looked at the flickering defensive Formation and said in a worried tone, his voice already trembling slightly.

Everyone present was not stupid. Although they could not discern the strength of the Destruction Beasts, they could judge that they were not weak from the way they slammed head-on into the defensive Formation. The defensive Formation of Yanlong City had been built by a Great Master of Formations and possessed the effect of reflecting attacks. However, after the Destruction Beasts were repelled, they were completely unharmed.

"Fire!" Ignoring the Golden Core Clan Chief, Liu Hong issued orders to the soldiers beside him. The three hundred soldiers behind him were ones he had spent a fortune to train. They were all Cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Realm. The bows and arrows they used were all Medium Grade Magical Artifacts, and the arrows were disposable Talisman Treasures.

"Swish, swish, swish!" Three hundred arrows turned into streaks of fire and shot out. Each arrow struck a Destruction Beast. Then, the arrows turned into raging flames, engulfing the three hundred Destruction Beasts. However, just as Liu Hong began to show a happy expression, the flames enveloping the Destruction Beasts all extinguished.

"Switch to Frost Arrows!" Liu Hong ordered with a dark face. The three hundred Foundation Establishment soldiers immediately switched to Frost Arrows and continued to fire. They hit three hundred Destruction Beasts again, and the beasts turned into blocks of ice. But just two seconds later, accompanied by a series of cracking sounds, the ice blocks shattered, revealing the unscathed Destruction Beasts.

"Roar!" At this moment, a humanoid demon in the Destruction Beast army let out a roar. Suddenly, thousands more Destruction Beasts shot into the sky and slammed into the defensive Formation.

"Crack, crack, crack!" Dense cracks appeared on the defensive Formation.

"The defensive Formation cannot hold!" someone exclaimed.

"My Lord, we should retreat. We cannot stop so many demons!" one of Liu Hong's subordinates urged.

"Yes, My Lord, as long as there is life, there is hope!" another subordinate added, "The number of these demons has reached hundreds of thousands, and their defense is terrifyingly strong. Even those at the Golden Core Realm cannot break through their defenses. We simply cannot stop them!"

Liu Hong's expression changed rapidly. Finally, he revealed a hint of helplessness and said, "Notify all the residents of the city to evacuate Yanlong City as quickly as possible!" As soon as he finished speaking, he flew on his sword toward the City Lord's Mansion. There was a small teleportation array inside the City Lord's Mansion that could directly teleport his Family five hundred li away.

With Liu Hong taking the lead in leaving, the people on the city walls also evacuated one after another. Barely ten seconds after they left, the defensive Formation was shattered. Destruction Beasts vaulted up from below the city walls, fell into the city, and began hunting the living beings within. In no time at all, all three hundred thousand Destruction Beasts had entered the city.

"Sect Master, are we just going to watch?" the female Golden Core Elder asked.

"What else can we do?" Sect Master Luo Jue was also very frustrated, "Even I cannot break through the defense of a normal demon. What good would it do to rush in? To serve as a few side dishes for those demons?"

Hearing this, the eight Golden Core Elders all fell silent. That was true; even with the Sect Master's Nascent Soul Realm strength combined with a Medium Grade spirit sword, he could not break through the demons' defenses, let alone they, who were at the Golden Core Realm. However, upon hearing the screams and cries for help from within the city, waves of guilt welled up in their hearts.

"Look, there is sword light! Is it the people from the Qinghe Sect?" Suddenly, Elder Ling exclaimed, pointing into the distance. Everyone looked up and indeed saw fifteen streaks of sword light shooting over from the distance. In an instant, the fifteen streaks of sword light appeared above Yanlong City.

Seeing the Destruction Beasts wantonly hunting ordinary living beings, a cold glint appeared on Zhang Qingyue's face.

"Go!" With a casual wave of her finger, a streak of sword light shot downward. As it neared the ground, the sword light instantly split into hundreds of strands.

"Puff, puff, puff!" In an instant, the heads of hundreds of Destruction Beasts were pierced through. The Sect Master had already taken action, so the others naturally could not stand by and watch. Accompanying Zhang Qingyue were two Spirit Severing Realm experts and twelve Nascent Soul Realm (Ninth Layer) experts. The two Spirit Severing Realm experts were both Vice Sect Masters. One was at the Second Layer of the Spirit Severing Realm, and the other was at the First Layer. The two of them also unleashed their Magic Treasures and attacked the Destruction Beasts in the city.

Suddenly, Zhang Qingyue, who had already pierced through three waves of Destruction Beasts, frowned. She discovered that the first batch of hundreds of Destruction Beasts she had pierced through the head with her sword light had actually stood back up from the ground. Furthermore, their wounds had completely healed. Similarly, her subordinates also noticed this scene.

"Sect Master, these demons are a bit strange!" one of the Vice Sect Masters said.

"Destroy their bodies!" Zhang Qingyue said coldly. Since they could be resurrected even after their heads were pierced, she would shred their bodies into pieces.

"Puff, puff, puff!" Under Zhang Qingyue's control, the streaks of sword light flared brightly, wrapping around each Destruction Beast and shredding them into masses of black mist. But immediately, she frowned again. Shredding the bodies of the Destruction Beasts obviously consumed more magic power. She then realized that while she and the two Vice Sect Masters were fine, the other twelve Hall Master-level Nascent Soul Realm (Ninth Layer) experts were different. Each time they shredded a Destruction Beast, it consumed a significant amount of magic power. At their current rate, they would exhaust their magic power after killing at most a few dozen Destruction Beasts.

"Take these!" She took out twelve bottles of Medicinal Pills and threw them to the twelve Nascent Soul Realm (Ninth Layer) experts. The Medicinal Pills in the bottles were for restoring magic power.
