145: There is no way out.

First Snow, Warm Sun.

The weather grew colder, and the First Snow covered the stark white bones of the No Mans Land.

Today, the sun was bright, but the ground vibrated violently, and the sunlight was obscured by giant shadows!

In Starry Sky City, the highest-ranking general, Gong Yingbo, glared with wide eyes.

"Great Shun Dynasty!"

These four words rang out like a bell, and the soldiers stationed on the city wall, resisting the beast tide, were stunned at first.

Then, they turned to look behind them.

Bang bang bang—

Several large pits appeared, and densely packed Great Shun Dynasty elites in armor crawled out.

From officers to soldiers, everyone held their breath.

What to do?

All officers and soldiers fixed their gaze on Gong Yingbo.

These Great Shun Dynasty elites were definitely not here to help them resist the beast tide.

With wolves in front and tigers behind, if Starry Sky City fell, the beast tide surging into the cities behind would cause an unprecedented disaster!

City buildings destroyed, residents wantonly slaughtered by fierce beasts... Sweat streamed down his forehead. Gong Yingbo drew the long saber from his waist, its blade first pointing at the beast tide outside the city.

The Defensive Array could indeed withstand the beast tide's attack, but it had a durability limit.

With these fierce beasts crashing into it desperately, the Defensive Array would collapse in at most an hour!

Headache!

Gong Yingbo had a terrible headache and ultimately chose to confront the awakened Great Shun Dynasty elites within the city alone.

"I will guard the core hub of the Defensive Array; you all continue to resist the beast tide!"

Gong Yingbo, a Domain Realm Four-Star, commanded as his Earth Attribute Domain unfolded.

Within the Earth Attribute Domain, Gong Yingbo stood alone with his saber before the glowing core hub.

Facing the Great Shun Dynasty elites, whose cultivation was at the Divine Power Realm, charging at the forefront, Gong Yingbo remained expressionless.

"I hope there are no Domain Realm Ancient Professionals."

Meteorites fell one after another, and Gong Yingbo frequently cast Spirit Skills, the veins bulging on the arm holding the long saber.

He couldn't retreat; if the core hub was destroyed, the Defensive Array would fail.

At that time, the beast tide would surge in all directions, and even a single Divine Power Realm fierce beast could easily smash a hundred-meter skyscraper!

Beast roars and battle cries filled the sky, and the awakened Great Shun Dynasty elites split into three paths.

Their objectives were clear: destroy the core hub and the Defensive Array, and kill the Huaxia soldiers guarding Starry Sky City!

"Deputy Officer Qiang, the Great Shun Dynasty elites are almost here."

Hearing this, Qiang Zhishang took a deep breath.

He finally understood why other border cities were calm, yet Starry Sky City had been frequently attacked by beast tides recently.

It was all because of the Great Shun Dynasty!

But guessing it was useless. Looking at the destroyed Defensive Array and Officer Gong, who dared not retreat a single step to protect the central hub.

More importantly, the Great Shun Dynasty elites in his sight were getting closer, and Qiang Zhishang was filled with despair.

He wasn't afraid of death; he was afraid of Starry Sky City falling!

Whoosh la la—

A fierce commotion erupted in the beast tide outside the city, and Qiang Zhishang turned his head.

Divine soldiers descending from the sky!

Tens of thousands of armored monsters appeared outside Starry Sky City.

Warhorses neighed, and the Ten Thousand Bone Legion, riding Skeleton Warhorses, charged first!

Bang bang bang—

The ground trembled as the Skeleton Warhorses trampled the beast tide, quickly clearing an open space.

The Blood Slaughter Legion was on the left, and the Heavens Punishment Legion was on the right.

Gold Calamity Devouring Army took out his military flag.

"Heed my command!"

The military flag fluttered in the wind, and with each command issued, the Puppet Corps frequently changed formations.

"That is..."

The soldiers looked at the young man riding a giant eagle in the sky.

"Lu Yuan!"

Qiang Zhishang was the first to recognize the young man's identity.

Seeing tens of thousands of Law Realm Six-Star ghost puppet soldiers appear, Qiang Zhishang's hope reignited!

The Puppet Corps not only easily resisted the beast tide but even took the initiative to attack!

"Only a Puppet Master or Dark Attribute Professionals could achieve such a feat," Li Jinxue sighed.

Thousands upon thousands of beast tides, a quantitative change leading to a qualitative one; even a Domain Realm Expert would not dare to confront them head-on.

As a Puppet Master, Lu Yuan could control tens of thousands of Puppet Corps!

Every Ghost Puppet Soldier was at Law Realm Six-Star, and their combat power was far stronger than that of the Skeleton Monsters of Dark Attribute Professionals!

"What's going on?"

Through the Defensive Array, Lu Yuan asked Qiang Zhishang.

He only heard strange noises inside Starry Sky City and didn't know the specific situation.

"The Great Shun Dynasty elites have awakened and are trying to attack from both inside and outside to make Starry Sky City fall!" Qiang Zhishang said concisely.

Great Shun Dynasty elites?

Lu Yuan realized his guess was correct.

Although the beast tide was fierce, Starry Sky City could resist it with the Defensive Array.

There must have been some uncertain factors, and besides the Great Shun Dynasty, Lu Yuan couldn't think of anyone else with such audacity!

"I'll handle the beast tide."

The situation was urgent, and Lu Yuan didn't waste words.

"You alone?" Qiang Zhishang's expression was anxious.

The beast tide had a Domain Realm Demon King; could Lu Yuan handle it alone?

Seeing Lu Yuan not respond, Qiang Zhishang gritted his teeth.

"Damn it, let's go all out!"

"Take down those Great Shun Dynasty elites! Either they die, or we die!"

The soldiers turned their guns, no longer stopping the beast tide, and followed Qiang Zhishang off the city wall.

"Kill!"

"Kill!!"

Two battlefields, inside and outside the city.

Spirit Skills rained down from the sky!

Lu Yuan and the ten great calamities went all out.

Bang! Bang bang!

In a blink of an eye, multiple Earth Tier High-Grade Spirit Skills were unleashed!

Flames, hailstones, meteorites, poisonous gas... The screams of fierce beasts echoed through the sky, blood stained the white snow, and broken limbs and remains were everywhere.

Under the refracting sunlight, the demon crystal emitted a dazzling light.

"Charge! Break through Starry Sky City, and the Demon Emperor will reward you handsomely!"

The wolf's howl was loud.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

Hundreds of fist-sized magic bullets shot towards the Defensive Array, causing ripples instantly.

The dark blue Defensive Array gradually dimmed!

The Shadow Moon Demon Wolf spoke human words, baring its fangs and urging the beast tide to attack.

Seeing Lu Yuan hovering at the city gate, its wolf eyes narrowed.

"Does a Law Realm deserve to be a hero?"

Its Moon Attribute Domain unfolded, and the Shadow Moon Demon Wolf's tone was playful as it swung its wolf claw, aiming for Lu Yuan's throat.

Its speed was extremely fast, and being in its Domain made it like a phantom.

Clang—

Army Devourer raised his longsword and collided with the wolf claw, sparks flying!

Failing in one strike, the Shadow Moon Demon Wolf retreated to a safe position.

"Domain Realm Demon King!"

Lu Yuan scrutinized the Shadow Moon Demon Wolf that had ambushed him.

Whether Transcendance Realm or Domain Realm fierce beasts, they were all called Demon Kings.

Wolves were naturally cunning and incredibly intelligent.

The reason the Shadow Moon Demon Wolf had not shown itself earlier was because it needed to command the beast tide.

Also, it was observing how to kill Lu Yuan in one strike!

"Moon Attribute, Domain Realm One-Star."

Lu Yuan discovered that the Shadow Moon Demon Wolf was unusual; it was actually Moon Attribute!

This attribute was very rare, allowing for rapid recovery of Spirit Skills through moonlight.

Therefore, its combat power doubled at night!

"Domain Realm..."

Li Jinxue couldn't help but worry as she watched Lu Yuan confront the Shadow Moon Demon Wolf head-on.

She and her team members were also doing their part to stop the beast tide.

Although they were only killing Divine Power Realm fierce beasts, it was better than standing by.

"Can Brother Yuan deal with a Domain Realm Demon King?" Xu Ruicheng swallowed.

Not only the lives of Starry Sky City's soldiers but also theirs were in Lu Yuan's hands.

If Lu Yuan died, the Calamities and ghost puppet soldiers would all lose consciousness.

Before the beast tide retreated, Starry Sky City's Defensive Array could not be closed!

"Don't think about whether Lu Yuan can deal with the Shadow Moon Demon Wolf." Li Jinxue focused on fighting the fierce beast in front of her.

"Lu Yuan and we have no retreat!"
