Above the city walls, the area Zhang Ling was responsible for was filled with constant shouts of battle, mixed with the earth-shattering roars of beasts from outside, creating a scene of extraordinary activity.
Zhang Ling also stood up, constantly observing the movements of the beast tide. Although they had killed a large number of wild beasts under numerous attacks,
the beast tide army was still a vast, dark mass with no end in sight. Moreover, the beast tide had already surged to the front and was desperately impacting the bottom of the city walls.
Beneath the section of the city wall he was responsible for, there was a group of giant blue-headed wolves, numbering as many as several thousand, each with extraordinary strength, all being Tier 3 or 4 wild beasts. They struck the city walls with their sharp claws.
Not far away, there was a large group of Mountain-Pushing Beasts, each over ten zhang tall. Although they didn't have any great supernatural powers, they were thick-skinned, possessed immense strength, and directly crashed into the city walls, causing huge rumbles.
Further away, there were many other types of wild beasts, shooting wind blades, fireballs, and numerous other attacks, all smashing towards the city walls.
Many wild beasts were accidentally injured and died, but the wild beasts seemed ignorant and unaffected by the turbid Qi, still constantly charging forward regardless of life or death.
Although most of them were low-level wild beasts with limited attacks, unable to break through the Flying Cloud City's protective grand formation, this was the situation under the entire city wall. Allowing the beast horde to continue attacking, the defensive grand formation was also in danger of collapsing.
After all, no matter what kind of formation it is, there are limits.
Suddenly, Zhang Ling frowned slightly and looked up into the sky.
Outside the front city wall, a group of black shadows flew over. Before these guys even approached, they could see waves of wind blades sweeping over.
Avian wild beasts.
Zhang Ling frowned. He scanned the area with his divine sense and saw clearly that it was a group of wild beasts that looked like flying eagles. Each one was very large, like giant eagles, numbering at least five thousand, with more than ten of them reaching high-tier strength.
In a series of long howls, this group of flying eagles flapped their huge wings, releasing wave after wave of wind blades.
Under the impact of this large-scale attack, the city-protecting formation showed wave-like ripples. This was a sign that the formation's light barrier was under too much attack and was becoming unstable.
In the blink of an eye, this group of flying eagles arrived in front of them. Besides releasing wind blades, they all pounced on the light barrier, frantically attacking the formation's light barrier with their sharp beaks and claws. Some special ones could even use fireballs, golden light blades, and other more powerful spiritual power attacks.
For a time, the attacks of these flying birds covered the entire sky.
A giant eagle, fifteen or sixteen zhang in size, with golden light flashing on its body, transformed into a golden whirlwind and crashed into the light barrier.
With a series of loud rumbles, the light barrier in that area actually caved in. The mortals and cultivators in the vicinity changed their expressions greatly and panicked.
Zhang Ling snorted coldly, flashed, and flew over there. With a flick of his hand, two cyan flying swords slashed towards the black eagle that had transformed into a whirlwind.
The golden whirlwind and the cyan sword light collided, emitting a harsh sound. Then, they heard the black shadow's roar. This high-level wild beast was instantly severely injured by the sword light and revealed its form.
More than a dozen bloody marks appeared on the beast's body, and one of its huge claws was cut off by the flying sword. Its image was extremely miserable.
"Golden Core elders have already taken action, we don't need to worry. Fifth team, seventh team, stabilize the formation and attack. Attack..."
The crowd beside him had just been in a commotion, but after Zhang Ling took action, they quickly stabilized and released various attacks again, clearing the low-level wild beasts that kept climbing up from below.
Zhang Ling naturally didn't have time to pay attention to the cultivators and mortals beside him at this time. The giant black eagle in front of him had not been killed yet. After being injured, this beast was extremely fast, turning into a golden light and quickly shuttling through the air.
This was a black eagle with Tier 6 strength, and it was also a wind-attribute wild beast, flapping its black wings and releasing a large number of golden wind blades.
Zhang Ling didn't have much expression. His hands danced, condensing seals, and a few wisps of spiritual light were shot out from his hands and hit the flying swords. The two flying swords turned into two zhang-sized rotating objects, turning into two sword wheels.
At the same time, a large amount of yellow light shot out from his hand. When the black eagle was illuminated by the spiritual light, its flying speed instantly decreased by more than half.
As the sword wheels continued to cut, this Tier 6 black eagle wailed for a while and was divided into several sections by the sword light and fell below the city wall.
Zhang Ling didn't have time to collect the beast's body, and his figure flickered again to the city wall area a hundred zhang away. There, there were also two giant eagles, one black and one white, attacking the formation's light barrier.
Although some cultivators used large-scale spiritual weapons to release powerful attacks to stop them, the two flying birds were extremely fast, and they easily dodged these attacks.
The black giant eagle opened its mouth and spewed out a ball of scarlet demon fire, covering an area of more than ten zhang.
The white giant eagle flapped its huge wings, and the feathers on its wings stood up, shooting out like arrows, constantly attacking.
These were two Tier 5 wild beasts. After Zhang Ling arrived, two flying swords went up to meet them, one on the left and one on the right, and at the same time, he threw out the ancient treasure jade Ruyi obtained from Baiyun Sanren.
This treasure rotated in front of him, and he opened his mouth and spewed out a ball of yellow essence, which merged into the jade Ruyi. Suddenly, the jade Ruyi released a large amount of white light, quickly condensing into a misty big bird.
The big bird was transformed from clouds and mist, and like a real flying bird, it let out a long cry and rushed out of the formation's light barrier, pouncing on the white giant eagle.
This was the spirit condensation technique used by Golden Core cultivators, which could transform magic weapons into various attacks. Using it could enhance the power of some treasures.
Zhang Ling had advanced to the Golden Core stage for a long time, and he had naturally mastered this technique long ago. However, using this technique consumes a lot of spiritual power, so he rarely uses it under normal circumstances.
But now it was different. More than a dozen high-level wild beasts had appeared on the section of the city wall he was responsible for. Now he was pretending to be Baiyun Sanren and suppressing his cultivation, so he couldn't show his late-stage Golden Core strength, but using this technique was the most appropriate.
Moreover, with the Flying Cloud City's city-protecting grand formation, he didn't need to worry too much about danger, and consuming some spiritual power was fine. After all, he couldn't let too many high-level wild beasts attack the grand formation, otherwise the city-protecting grand formation might not be able to withstand it. Although it wouldn't completely collapse, it would present the danger of a partial breakthrough.
At that time, many cultivators and mortals would inevitably die and be injured.
In addition to this large group of flying eagles appearing in front of him, other sections of the city wall also encountered various dangers.
Dozens of miles away, on another section of the city wall adjacent to the area Zhang Ling was responsible for, Tang Qingqing was guarding.
Tang Qingqing only had early-stage Golden Core cultivation, and the area she was responsible for was a thirty-mile section of the city wall. She was fighting a monkey monster covered in flames.
If Zhang Ling was nearby, he would recognize that this was the group of red-haired roars he had discovered not long ago. Looking at the aura of this beast, it actually had Tier 6 strength.
Tang Qingqing didn't panic at all. She still urged the emerald green jade fan to release a large cloud of green poison, trapping the red-haired roar in the middle.
But this beast was extremely sturdy, covered in violent fire spiritual power, turning into a cloud of fire and constantly crashing into the light barrier.
Seeing this scene, Tang Qingqing flipped her jade hand, and a palm-sized round bowl appeared in her hand, from which a large cloud of black gas emerged, and then transformed into strange gray moths.
Each of these moths was the size of a palm, and flapping their wings sprinkled a large amount of glittering white powder. With a wave of the emerald green jade fan, this cloud of white powder turned into a gust of breeze and rushed towards the red-haired roar.
A strange scene appeared. The fire on this beast's body, after encountering the powder, actually melted like liquid, turning into fiery red water droplets and falling down. Then the aura on this beast's body greatly decreased, and its original Tier 6 strength could only display about half of it.
Then, under the attack of Tang Qingqing releasing two flying blades, the red-haired roar was killed in a short time.
