130: Father and son join the battle! Support arrives at Shanhaiguan!
In the blink of an eye, Li Shengyuan arrived beside Li Mu and delivered a heavy punch to the large worm that was about to get up, knocking it down to the ground again.
Following that, blades flashed, cutting streaks of marks across the worm's body!
Immediately, a nauseating, pus-like liquid flowed from the worm's body.
The wounds attempted to heal, but they were disrupted by Li Shengyuan's destructive intent, which slowed down its recovery speed.
The large worm let out a cry of pain, opened its large mouth towards the fierce beast beside it, and bit down. After feeding, it suddenly rose from the ground and bit towards Li Shengyuan.
After easily dodging, Li Shengyuan came to Li Mu's side and asked with some concern, "How are you, Old Man? Are you hurt?"
Li Mu, however, laughed heartily, waved his hand casually, and said, "Don't worry, this is just a minor situation for your dad!"
"But you, boy, why did you come so fast? Where is your mother?"
Seeing that his Old Man was fine, Li Shengyuan also breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "With Ye Hangzhou here, it's hard not to be fast!"
"Mother is also here, she's behind us, very safe!"
"That's good!" Li Mu looked at Li Shengyuan and nodded in satisfaction.
Turning his head to look at the two great third-rank fierce beasts confronting him and his son, he said with an icy expression, "Let's deal with these two beasts first, then we, father and son, can go back and talk slowly!"
"No problem!"
As soon as his voice fell, the father and son charged forward together.
As the saying goes, 'father and son in battle,' and with them fighting together, their hearts were filled with excitement!
Li Mu had long fantasized about this moment!
He would occasionally let out a loud laugh, saying 'refreshing,' which made Li Shengyuan shake his head and smile helplessly.
The powerful pressure emanating from Li Shengyuan startled everyone.
While those on the border city were wondering where this third-rank expert came from, those who had seen Li Shengyuan already cried out in surprise.
"Brothers, our reinforcements have arrived! This is General Li's son! With him here, we can definitely wipe out the beast tide!"
"What? Is this the Young Master Li who has been widely discussed today? I heard he could kill a third-rank expert even before his breakthrough. I wonder how strong he is now!"
"Great! With him here, Shanhai Pass will definitely hold!"
"Brothers, put in more effort and repel this wave of beast tide!"
"..."
Upon learning that reinforcements had arrived, led by General Li's son, the morale of the defending soldiers immediately soared!
The city defense cannons were almost smoking from overuse!
Although most of the defending soldiers were ordinary people, the city defense cannons produced by the Imperial Observatory did not require spiritual power to operate; they only needed to be filled with various energy ores like flame crystals to unleash terrifying attacks.
They were much more powerful than traditional cannons!
As Li Shengyuan went to help his Old Man Li Mu, people from the giant ship also arrived at the city wall one after another, helping the city defense army.
The Imperial Observatory's mages, led by Ye Hangzhou, were repairing the city's protective array and the damaged city defense cannons!
The remaining mages were activating the energy cannons on the hundred-zhang giant ship, launching large-scale bombardments at the beast tide Outside the Pass.
This massive weapon was much more powerful than the city defense cannons; one shot would clear a large area!
Old Fan looked at the Demon Suppression Envoys and mages continuously emerging from the giant ship, first startled.
Then he looked at Li Shengyuan's back with an excited smile.
He came at the perfect time, just when he was needed!
Li Mu and Li Shengyuan fought side by side, forcing the two great third-rank beast king-level fierce beasts to retreat repeatedly!
Nothing was more morale-boosting than "father and son in battle"!
At this moment, Wenren Qingxuan, accompanied by Princess Pingyang and Shen Xinrong, approached Old Fan with a solemn expression and asked in a heavy tone, "Military Advisor Fan, what is the situation Outside the Pass? Why did a beast tide suddenly occur out of nowhere?"
"Even the Ice Soul Wolf clan from the Extreme Cold Land has come!"
"Madam..." Old Fan first bowed slightly, then said with a solemn expression, "Currently, the situation Outside the Pass is unknown. It's too chaotic. The scouts sent out haven't sent back any news, and I'm afraid they've already met with misfortune!"
"At first, we speculated that a second-rank Beast Emperor had appeared among the fierce beast tribes, but slowly we realized something was amiss. There's also the Demonic Cult interfering, and there must be traces of the Demon Barbarians as well!"
"It's that serious?" Wenren Qingxuan's expression darkened. "How should we deal with this beast tide next? If all the fierce beasts Outside the Pass move south, then it will be troublesome!"
Old Fan sighed, shaking his head, "We can only wait for the imperial court to send experts. Only by going deep inside and slaying that second-rank Beast Emperor can this beast tide possibly recede..."
Once the second-rank Beast Emperor, who commands the entire fierce beast tribe, dies, even if the Demonic Cult has many tricks, it will be impossible for them to control all the fierce beasts in the Arctic region Outside the Pass!
At that time, the beast tide will naturally recede...
But whether there is a trap left Outside the Pass is unknown.
Wenren Qingxuan fell silent, while Shen Xinrong and Princess Pingyang beside her frowned, nervously watching the continuously surging beast tide.
Old Fan then said in a deep voice, "Only when this wave of beast tide recedes and Old Li and Shengyuan return, can we gather everyone to discuss it."
Then, Old Fan looked around in confusion and said, "By the way, Madam, didn't you say there would be a surprise? You said that as soon as you arrived, Shanhai Pass would be impregnable!"
Wenren Qingxuan smiled mysteriously, "The surprise is yet to come!"
Old Fan was slightly startled by her words and looked towards the rear of the city wall, but when he saw a continuous line of nearly twenty flying boats arranged in a row, he widened his eyes in shock and said, "This... Where did this team come from?"
Then he frowned slightly, "This looks like... the flying boats of the various major sects of the Northern Region!"
Wenren Qingxuan smiled calmly, "That's right, when Shengyuan had his breakthrough, the high-ranking officials of the various major sects were all present. After discussing the distribution of the Giant Spirit Hall, the various major sects decided to come with us to Shanhai Pass to resist the beast tide!"
"And we arrived a step earlier due to Chief Ye's spatial teleportation. How about it, Military Advisor? With so many experts, Shanhai Pass is impregnable, isn't it!"
Old Fan nodded with a smile on his face, laughing heartily, "With so many experts assisting us, even if the imperial court doesn't send reinforcements, Shanhai Pass will be safe!"
"The sects of the Northern Region still possess true patriotism!"
Old Fan was also trembling with excitement at this moment and finally let out a sigh of relief, looking at Shen Xinrong and Princess Pingyang beside Wenren Qingxuan with a smile, "These two young ladies must be Shengyuan's girlfriends, right?"
Shen Xinrong and Princess Pingyang, who had been silent, blushed upon hearing this.
Wenren Qingxuan smiled and introduced, "You haven't been to the capital, so you don't know them. These are Xinrong and Princess Pingyang, whom Old Li and I often speak of. Both are my daughters-in-law!"
She spoke with pride, and then introduced Old Fan, "This is our Military Advisor of Shanhai Pass, Fan You. You can just call him Uncle Fan. He deserves a large part of the credit for Shanhai Pass's current prosperity!"
"Hello, Uncle Fan!"
Shen Xinrong and Princess Pingyang greeted him politely.
Fan You nodded repeatedly at this, sighing, "Your family truly has good fortune!"
At this moment, the flying boats of the various major sects also arrived above the city wall, lining up alongside the massive giant ship.
At this moment, everyone was staring intently at the third-rank battlefield Outside the Pass!
This was the first time most people had seen Li Shengyuan in action.
