66: Chapter 66 Erosion Tide

Outside Hanyang City, black clouds loomed over the city.

The Erosion Tide was like ink, surging and crashing against the city walls.

The massive light shield of the defensive Formation fluctuated violently under the impact. Fine cracks spread across the light curtain like a spiderweb, only to be continuously repaired, as if it might shatter at any moment.

In one part of the black clouds, astral winds howled and talismanic light exploded.

Chi Wanhe stood in mid-air, her right hand wielding a Spirit Brush as fast as lightning, a Talisman taking shape in an instant.

“Quicksand Pit Talisman!”

Streaks of earthy yellow runes sank into the ground. The earth beneath dozens of Rank One Erosion Demons ahead instantly softened and collapsed, as if they had fallen into a quagmire, greatly slowing their movements.

“Molten Gold Fire Rain!”

She flipped her left wrist, and the compass in her hand suddenly hummed, simulating scorching fire elements.

Countless meteorite Talismans burning with golden-red flames condensed out of thin air, crashing into the beast horde and burning a large number of Erosion Demons to charcoal.

However, seven Erosion Beasts shaped like giant lizards roared and broke through the fire rain.

They were covered in crimson scales, spitting corrosive poisonous mist, their sharp claws tearing through the air with overwhelming ferocity.

They were Rank Two Erosion Beasts, equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Stage!

“Third Junior Sister!”

“Understood!”

Du Yuqing responded coldly, her figure shooting out like a bolt of electricity.

“Mountain Crushing Strength!”

Her delicate body erupted with terrifying power. Her jade-white spear, carrying the massive force of crumbling mountains, smashed heavily onto an Erosion Beast's head!

“Clang—!”

A loud bang like the clashing of metal!

The Erosion Beast's skull caved in, and it stumbled back, but it wasn't killed.

Du Yuqing used the force to spin her body, “Armor Piercing Thrust!”

The tip of the spear turned into a speck of cold star, accurately piercing into the weak spot of another Erosion Beast's neck, penetrating flesh, sinew, and bone, emerging from the other side.

Foul-smelling dark purple blood immediately sprayed everywhere.

The two cooperated exquisitely. Chi Wanhe's “Wind-Binding Spirit Chain” turned into green chains that bound the Erosion Beasts' limbs, and Du Yuqing's “Earth-Cleaving Spear Qi” swept out, severing their claws.

But...

The Erosion Tide had a vast number of Erosion Beasts with strong defenses, and with the continuous siege from the fearless Erosion Demons, the situation fell into a stalemate for a moment.

“Heavens, those are Poison Marsh Lizards! Even High Grade Magical Artifacts have difficulty breaking through their hide! A Foundation Establishment Loose Cultivator was besieged and killed by them just yesterday!”

On the walls of Hanyang City behind the two women, an Elder's already pale face became even paler.

“And Iron Corpse Erosion Demons! They possess immense strength! Sect Master Wang's arm was forcibly torn off by them!”

The voice of another Cultivator who had just finished meditating was also trembling.

“It's over! Although the two Fairies are powerful, this Erosion Tide is too fierce! They will be worn down to death!”

“We should just abandon the city!”

The crowd was deeply worried, and many showed looks of despair.

At this moment, a majestic female voice rang out.

“Silence! Hanyang City's defensive Formation hasn't broken yet! How can we speak of giving up so easily?”

“Sect Master Li and Sect Master Wang, please prepare to join me in supporting the two Fairies!”

“The rest of the Cultivators must hold the defensive Formation at all costs!”

The speaker was the City Lord of Hanyang, Chen Lan. Behind her were the Sect Masters of two nearby Grade Two Sects.

Buzz!!!

In the center of Hanyang City, an ancient tower suddenly erupted with brilliant silver-white light!

“That is... the tower!”

“It's the tower that the Moonshadow Sect Fairy set up as soon as she arrived in Hanyang City!”

A visible silver ripple, like liquid silver pouring over the ground, instantly swept across a hundred-mile radius!

At the center of the Erosion Tide's front, Chi Wanhe and Du Yuqing's bodies shook simultaneously.

Chi Wanhe felt the spiritual energy in her body like a burst flood, surging and roaring.

Her Divine Sense instantly expanded several times, and the trajectory of every grain of dust around her became clearly visible.

The Spirit Brush at her fingertips seemed to come alive, the speed at which she drew runes as fast as a phantom!

Meanwhile, Du Yuqing felt a vast power from the Void Realm injecting into her limbs and bones. Her jade bones hummed, and the strength contained in her muscles exploded exponentially.

The originally heavy jade-white spear in her hand now felt light as a feather, as if it could pierce through the heavens!

“Third Junior Sister! It's the blessing of the tower of laws! The amplification Revered Master spoke of is here!”

Chi Wanhe's face was excited, her eyes flashing with fanatical Battle Intent. This way, she wouldn't have to worry about spiritual energy consumption.

“Watch this—Polar Dust Storm!”

The Spirit Brush in Chi Wanhe's hand traced profound trajectories in the air, the compass spinning wildly as the three spiritual elements of ice, wind, and earth fused perfectly.

In an instant, with her as the center, a terrifying cold current swept out, freezing the ground.

Countless millstone-sized hard rocks wrapped in sharp ice shards were picked up by the violent astral winds, forming a super dust storm that connected heaven and earth, covering a hundred-foot range.

Inside the sandstorm, ice shards were like knives and rocks were like hammers, carrying the terrifying power to freeze and tear everything apart. They instantly engulfed hundreds of Erosion Demons and four Rank Two Erosion Beasts ahead.

The hard bodies of the Erosion Demons were cut to pieces in the ice storm, and the crimson scales of the Erosion Beasts cracked inch by inch under the extreme cold and massive force.

“Thousand Peak Breaker!”

Du Yuqing erupted almost at the same time.

She was shrouded in brilliant jade light, becoming one with her spear.

The spear transformed into thousands of condensed, solid jade-white spear shadows!

Each spear shadow seemed to contain the terrifying power to shatter mountains, like thousands of jade peaks crashing down. The shadows enveloped the remaining three Rank Two Erosion Beasts and the surrounding Erosion Beasts and Erosion Demons.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Three muffled explosions! Three powerful Erosion Beasts, comparable to the Middle to Late Stage of Foundation Establishment, were forcibly hammered into three piles of crimson pulp under the dense jade peak spear shadows! The surrounding Erosion Beasts and Erosion Demons were also wiped clean.

The wind stopped, the sand fell, and the ice vanished.

In just a few breaths, the front of the once-ferocious Erosion Tide was emptied, turning into a ground full of ice shards, crushed stones, and mangled remains.

The Erosion Beasts and Erosion Demons in the rear were also slowed down for a while.

On the city wall, Chen Lan, the two Sect Masters, and all the Cultivators were all dumbfounded, like clay and wooden statues.

That world-destroying Spell just now, that overwhelming spear shadow... could they really be performed by a Foundation Establishment Cultivator?!

Chen Lan was the first to snap back to her senses. She looked delighted and shouted loudly,

“Everyone! The two Fairies from the Moonshadow Sect have already cleared the most serious threats for us. The rest is up to us!”

...

The sun set behind the mountains.

The Erosion Tide receded, and the crimson erosion qi quickly dissipated under the dual suppression of the erosion suppression monument and the tower of laws.

“Exquisite skill... truly exquisite skill! Wiping out the Erosion Tide with a wave of their hands! I... offer my deepest admiration!”

One of the two Sect Masters, Sect Master Li, bowed deeply to Chi Wanhe and Du Yuqing.

The other, Sect Master Wang, also hurriedly bowed, completely convinced:

“I am impressed! I am truly convinced! The Disciples of the Moonshadow Sect possess... truly divine methods!”

The Hanyang City Lord Chen Lan, this elegant female Cultivator, was also filled with shock and gratitude at this moment:

“The two Fairies have world-conquering Divine Abilities! You have saved my Hanyang City from a catastrophe! On behalf of all the Cultivators and Mortals in the city, Chen Lan thanks you for your great kindness!”

She performed a solemn formal bow and then said excitedly:

“Furthermore, I must thank your Sect's Sect Master Ling! This erosion suppression monument suppresses the erosion qi and stabilizes the rules.”

“With this object, within a hundred-mile radius of my Hanyang City, no overly powerful Erosion Beasts will be born from the Erosion Tide. The Erosion Tide will no longer be a major problem!”

Chen Lan's words ignited the crowd:

“That's right! It's truly a miracle!”

“Moonshadow Sect! This is what a true great Immortal Sect looks like! What was that Huoyan Sect from before even worth!”

“If you ask me, it's a good thing the Huoyan Sect was wiped out! Wiped out wonderfully!”

Chen Lan turned to Chi Wanhe and Du Yuqing, sincerely inviting them:

“It seems the two Fairies have exhausted quite a bit. Please allow this City Lord to host a banquet to express my gratitude!”

Chi Wanhe looked up at the setting sun, its golden afterglow reflecting on her slightly pale but still beautiful face.

She put away her Spirit Brush and compass, showing an apologetic smile:

“City Lord Chen is too kind! Eliminating demons and defending the Dao is our duty!”

“But my Junior Sister and I won't be attending the victory banquet. I hope the City Lord can prepare a place for us to rest.”

A flash of obvious regret crossed City Lord Chen Lan's eyes, but she reacted quickly. Knowing that Disciples of Immortal Sects had their own ways, she immediately turned her head and gave a low-voiced order to the guard commander standing by:

“Go! Immediately prepare the Listening Rain Pavilion courtyard by the lake in the east of the city. It must be quiet and clean for the two Fairies to meditate and rest!”

“Yes! This subordinate will attend to it immediately!”

The guard commander cupped his fists in acknowledgment and turned to leave quickly.

“Thank you, City Lord Chen!”

Chi Wanhe thanked her with a bright smile.
