115: Five Demon Kings

Li Feng was shocked by the news.

Even with his Soul Power at the Late Mortal Realm, he was exhausted after completing the repair task.

Although Lu Xingchen was responsible for a Fourth-grade Spirit Array, he was doing the work of two people!

He actually still had energy left!

The elite Disciple of the Cangxuan Sect was terrifying!

Lu Xingchen held his sunset glow bow and stood behind the crowd, dealing damage.

“Congratulations, host, for killing a Four-tier One-Star Yao Beast! You have gained one thousand experience points and one thousand exchange points!”

“Congratulations, host, for killing a Four-tier Three-Star Yao Beast! You have gained three thousand experience points and three thousand exchange points!”

Lu Xingchen's Realm had already reached Five-Star Martial Spirit, so even when facing low-star Fourth-tier Demonic Beasts, he could achieve a one-hit kill.

What's more, he also used the Consecutive Arrow Technique, so the speed at which he gained experience was incredibly fast.

In just half an hour, Lu Xingchen had killed more than a dozen Fourth-tier Demonic Beasts, earning thirty thousand experience points.

It wasn't until his Fighting Spirit was completely depleted that he reluctantly retreated to the second line, taking a fourth-grade qi recovery pill to quickly restore his combat power.

In the second line, Lu Xingchen saw Li Gui with a bloody wound on his back.

“Senior Brother Li Gui, are you alright?” Lu Xingchen asked softly.

Li Gui shook his head, “There were too many Yao Beasts, and I didn't react in time. I was hit by a Fourth-tier Eight-Star Yao Beast. But it's fine, with the fourth-grade rejuvenation pill you gave me, I'll recover quickly!”

“Speaking of which, Junior Brother Lu, did your mission to repair the giant Spirit Formation succeed? Why are you on the front line?”

Lu Xingchen chuckled, “Of course it succeeded. That Wang Cheng was too useless and abandoned his post halfway through. Luckily, my Soul Power was strong enough, otherwise, it would have been really difficult.”

Li Gui gave Lu Xingchen a thumbs up.

“Then you're really impressive!”

Two hours later, Lu Xingchen had fully recovered his Fighting Spirit.

Just as he was about to rejoin the battle, the Yao Beasts retreated back into the Heavenly Battle Forest.

Lu Xingchen felt a little regretful but didn't say much.

As the beast tide receded, City Lord Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall sounded the gong for the troops to withdraw.

However, the soldiers could not rest immediately; they still had to move the defensive structures to the city wall.

It wasn't until the moon was bright and the stars were sparse, and the magpies found it difficult to fly, that the defensive structures were finally completed.

Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall ordered good wine and meat to reward the soldiers, and Lu Xingchen and his four companions were also invited to attend.

At the banquet, Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall raised a cup of wine to Li Feng and said with a smile, “Li Feng, it's thanks to your help this time, otherwise Tianhuo City would have been in danger. Now with this giant Spirit Formation, the Yao Beasts basically pose no threat to us.”

Li Feng waved his hand and said, “You should thank Lu Xingchen. If it weren't for him turning the tide, this giant Spirit Formation wouldn't have been repaired!”

Hearing this, Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall was surprised and asked softly, “What happened?”

Li Feng then slowly recounted the events on the city wall.

After listening, Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall looked at Lu Xingchen with sparkling eyes.

“Young Friend Lu is truly a young hero. Thank you, you saved all the people of Tianhuo City!”

As he spoke, Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall bowed to Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen quickly helped him up, “I don't deserve it, I don't deserve it. I am just a passerby. City Lord Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall has contributed so many years to Tianhuo City; you are the one who truly saves the people.”

Hearing this, Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall was actually somewhat embarrassed by Lu Xingchen's words and could only express his feelings with wine.

Tianhuo City was filled with singing and dancing, and everyone was immersed in the joy of repelling the Yao Beasts and the Spirit Formation being repaired.

Of course, the wine Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall provided was limited, only enough to get slightly tipsy.

After all, they still had to continue defending against the beast tide tomorrow!

At the same time, deep within the Heavenly Battle Forest, three burly men and a charming woman stood before a cave.

They were not humans, but powerful Fifth-rank Demonic Beasts who had reached the Fifth-rank Realm and gained the ability to shapeshift.

In the Heavenly Battle Forest, these four were the undisputed decision-makers, the Kings of the Yao Beasts.

One of the burly men frowned and said to the charming woman in a deep voice, “Qing Ling, the attack on Tianhuo City has been going on for four days. I was about to make my move. Why did you call us back at this time?”

The charming woman, called Qing Ling, smiled alluringly and asked softly, “Bear King, don't be anxious. I summoned you here this time because Master has awakened!”

Hearing this, the three burly men all showed joy on their faces.

“What did you say? Has Boss really awakened?”

Just then, a powerful Aura of spiritual fire emanated from the cave, and a majestic voice spread all around.

“Of course she's telling the truth!”

A silver claw extended from the cave, and then the figure of a silver-white Dragon slowly appeared before everyone.

“Greetings, Master!”

“Greetings, Boss!”

The three burly men and the charming woman bowed simultaneously.

The man called Bear King said excitedly, “Boss, you're back! This time, we will definitely take Tianhuo City.”

The giant Dragon slowly spoke, “These hateful humans treat our Heavenly Battle Forest as their backyard, constantly hunting Yao Beasts, taking demon cores, and refining Medicinal Pills. Now, it's time to make them pay the price! Follow me!”

With that, colorful light bloomed from her body, and her figure gradually shrank, becoming a young maiden.

At dawn, most of the soldiers had not yet woken up when the alarm blared throughout Tianhuo City.

The Yao Beasts of the Heavenly Battle Forest had launched another beast tide!

Lu Xingchen and his four companions woke from their sleep and quickly ascended the city wall.

When they saw the situation of the Yao Beasts, their expressions were not good.

Tens of thousands of Yao Beasts, all with cultivation above the Third-rank Realm.

Even Fourth-tier Demonic Beasts numbered over a hundred!

Lu Xingchen said in a deep voice, “It seems that the Yao Beasts in the Heavenly Battle Forest have come out in full force this time!”

Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall was also a little startled.

“It's a good thing that giant Spirit Formation was repaired by you. Otherwise, with Tianhuo City's current defensive strength, it definitely wouldn't be able to withstand the Yao Beast army.”

“But this isn't the most troublesome part.”

Hearing this, Lu Xingchen was slightly taken aback.

“Is there something even worse?”

Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall said in a deep voice, “To be able to command so many Yao Beasts, it must be the work of a Fifth-rank Demonic Beast. The five Demon Kings deep within the Heavenly Battle Forest are probably going to make a move!”

“I just don't know how many of the five Demon Kings will come.”

Lu Xingchen nodded slightly.

“Actually, it's not all bad. This giant Spirit Formation has the power to kill Fifth-rank Demonic Beasts, so as long as not too many Demon Kings come, they will be able to leave but not return.”

“At that time, the Yao Beasts of the Heavenly Battle Forest will definitely be severely weakened and won't dare to launch a beast tide for a long time. City Lord Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall, you'll be able to have a few years of peaceful days.”

Shi Lei, Vice Hall Master of the Human Emperor Hall smiled bitterly, “I hope not too many!”

The siege battle was about to begin.

Hundreds of Fourth-grade Spirit Arrays within the giant Spirit Formation operated simultaneously, quickly harvesting the lives of the Yao Beasts.

For a time, the Yao Beasts outside the city found it difficult to advance even a single step.
