209 Falling From the Sky, Changping Can Be Saved
Everyone’s expressions were somewhat reluctant. They opened their mouths, wanting to say something, but the light of the array became weaker and weaker, and the gap became larger and larger.
“Crack-”
As if something was unable to withstand the intense attacks of the demonic beast army, it finally shattered. Everyone could hear the ear-piercing sound.
A bone-chilling cold came from behind him. Yi Chengrui turned around and saw that the demonic beast army was already at the foot of the city. Countless pairs of eerie beast eyes were staring at him.
The array was completely destroyed!
Without the protection of the array, in the eyes of these demonic beasts, Changping was no doubt a delicious piece of meat. Furthermore, because everyone had just killed the demonic beasts and repaired the array, their spiritual energy had been exhausted. There was almost no room for them to fight back, and they could only be slaughtered by these demons.
“Roar!”
The high-level demonic beasts that were hiding behind the scenes could no longer hold back. With a single roar, it was like a signal. The beast horde was like a huge black wave that moved out in unison, determined to raze Changping to the ground.
“You guys hurry up and leave!”
Yi Chengrui stood in front of the crowd. His whole body burst out with a huge amount of spiritual power, and his figure also swelled up like a balloon.
The veins on his forehead were bulging, and under the pressure, his entire face looked distorted and terrifying. His face was pale, and blood flowed from the corner of his mouth.
Even though he was at the end of his rope, the spiritual power in his palm was like a hot sun. He was actually going to self-destruct! In exchange for time for everyone to escape.
Yi Chengrui opened his mouth with difficulty and said, “I’ll block these demonic beasts… ”
Everyone couldn’t bear it and someone cried out, “City Lord-”
“Quickly leave! Don’t let my sacrifice be in vain.”
Just as Yi Chengrui’s spiritual power reached its peak, a burst of inexplicable power suddenly came, with a domineering force that could not be ignored, smoothening the rampaging spiritual energy in his veins.
After the mysterious power wandered around, he felt a throbbing in the depths of his soul. The spiritual energy in his body seemed to have seen a king and subconsciously bowed down.
His self-destruction usage of spiritual power was actually suppressed.
Yi Chengrui was extremely shocked. Self-destruction was irreversible unless the person’s cultivation was much higher than his. There was an insurmountable gap between the two people’s levels.
Under such circumstances, that mysterious person could suppress him and stop him from self-destructing. Otherwise, if he tried to forcefully resolve it, it would only speed up the self-destruction. However, to his knowledge, there was no such powerful figure in Changping.
Even if the self-destruction was suppressed, it could not stop the beast horde.
At this moment, the city gate had already been broken by them. Before Yi Chengrui could figure out who did it and just as the demonic beast army was about to rush in, hundreds of Penglai Immortal Beasts appeared under the city gate.
Although they were injured, the aura of high-level demonic beasts was still able to intimidate many demonic beasts. For a moment, the beast horde actually stopped.
“Why are there so many demonic beasts?”
The people in Changping were a little frightened. The beast horde was not easy to deal with, and now there were so many demonic beasts with powerful auras. They couldn’t help but reveal looks of despair.
The smiles on the faces of Yi Chengrui and the others couldn’t help but freeze, because they didn’t know the origin of these demonic beasts.
“Wait a minute, those demonic beasts don’t seem to have any intention of attacking us. Instead, they’re even blocking the city walls.”
Soon, everyone realized that the beast horde had stopped moving.
Dozens of black shadows flitted across the sky, and the people on them were becoming more and more familiar.
“It’s Elder Ye and the others! They’ve returned alive!”
Yi Chengrui finally saw it clearly. It was Ye Xuan and the others. A burst of cheers burst out from below the city wall. At this moment, Ye Xuan was like a god descending to the world. He stood in front of everyone and stopped the beast horde’s attack.
His image instantly rose favorably in everyone’s eyes.
Even though Ye Xuan and the others were here, they couldn’t solve the crisis in Changping now. It was just a sacrifice that didn’t matter. Although they rushed back, their cultivation level was only so high. There were only a few dozen people, and it they wouldn’t be a match against thousands of demonic beasts.
“Aren’t they riding on these demonic beasts? How can Elder Ye control such a high-level demonic beast?”
A ray of hope appeared in everyone’s eyes again. If these hundred powerful demonic beasts could be controlled by Ye Xuan, then maybe they really had a chance of survival.
Ye Xuan looked at the people who had exhausted their spiritual power and Yi Chengrui, who was still alive in one piece. Ye Xuan couldn’t help but sigh in relief, “Fortunately, we made it in time.”
If he hadn’t noticed that the spiritual power fluctuations at the front were a little different, as if someone was self-destructing, he would have seen Yi Chengrui’s corpse by now.
“Elder Ye was actually right. All those demonic beasts have run here.”
Shen Changling looked at the densely packed army of demonic beasts and felt goosebumps all over his body. He had never seen such a large number of demonic beasts in his life.
Ye Xuan’s eyes were a little serious as he said, “It was probably caused by that skeletal dragon.”
The bloodline of the dragon clan had a natural suppression effect on the demonic beasts. Even though the skeletal dragon was dead, its pressure was still there. When it was disturbed during its sleep, it became extremely violent, which inevitably affected these demonic beasts, causing them to crazily attack humans.
Even the herbivorous demonic beasts were the same, which showed how much influence the skeletal dragon had.
However, the moment they attacked the skeletal dragon, they clearly became a threat to the skeletal dragon. As such, these demonic beasts started attacking in groups but they were in a different space.
These demonic beasts didn’t have a target to attack, so they naturally set their sights on Changping.
Yi Chengrui could tell that Ye Xuan and the others had just experienced a fierce battle and were not in a good state. He couldn’t help but ask, “Elder Ye, you all…”
