The scene was still in utter chaos, and few paid attention to Lin Shiming, as he was just a cultivator who had recently entered the Foundation Establishment stage.
On the contrary, cultivators were quite eager to follow those from the Spirit Beast Sect and the Spirit Talisman Sect. Even though they couldn't kill the more valuable demonic beasts, scavenging weaker ones without the fear of falling was indeed fortunate.
Lin Shiming put away the Fiery Flag, and once again attacked with his mother and child swords, as if nothing had happened.
In the next moment, a demonic monkey appeared in the distance, wounded by Lin Shiming's mother sword, as well as the child sword that appeared out of thin air, and the monkey turned tail and ran.
"Abomination, where do you think you're going!" Lin Shiming leaped off the city wall for the first time, brandishing the Fiery Flag in his hand once more, casting a scorching red light.
The sky-high flames caught up with the demonic monkey in the blink of an eye, burning it alive.
Incidentally, a few nearby Third Rank demonic beasts were also burnt.
Lin Shiming symbolically picked up the various spirit beast materials on the ground!
Afterward, he didn't linger but leaped back onto the city wall.
It was a common sight during this beast tide for a cultivator to simply leave the city gate to collect materials from spirit beasts.
Where the Spirit Shield had shattered was an extremely brutal site, where the demonic beasts launched their fiercest attacks. The place was littered with Third Rank demonic beasts, against which the cultivators from the Three Sects along with those from Yunzhou who had reached the Foundation Establishment stage fought desperately.
A good number of the spirit-devouring ants in the sky had also been exterminated. At the same time, several were collected into jade boxes by the cultivators from the Spirit Beast Sect.
Among them was a cultivator in brocade.
The brocade-clad cultivator wore a smile, gentle and refreshing like a spring breeze, as he continued to move among the beasts, occasionally snatching demonic beasts from familial Foundation Establishment cultivators, with no one daring to say a word.
With his mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivation level, along with his identity as a disciple of the Spirit Beast Sect, no one dared to provoke him.
The next moment, when he swept his divine sense around, he spotted an unusual leopard-type demonic beast. His eyes sparkled, and first, he cast a red giant tower magic artifact to suppress it.
Then he took out a bag-like magic artifact, threw it into the air, and with repeated bursts of rosy light, he captured the leopard-type demonic beast inside the bag.
The brocade-clad cultivator, extremely satisfied, put away the bag, weighed it for a bit, and then calmly hung it on his waist.
However, the next moment, the brocade-clad cultivator's brow furrowed sharply. He took out a Jade Ruyi and transformed it into a Spirit Shield. The shield had barely formed when a streak of golden light probed out of nowhere.
Boom!
They didn't even manage to roar before dying.
Meanwhile, in the sky, a Golden Winged Roc that blotted out the sky, a mountainous Through-Arm Ape, in addition to a Spirit Light-bright, emerald-eyed Golden Tiger and a Three-Headed Demon Python—all four Golden Core Demon Kings appeared. Simultaneously within Qingyun City, three Golden Core True Persons also emerged, ascending beyond the Jiuxiao, unleashing a terrifying Fifth Rank war!
The magnitude of the power was such that everyone felt as if the sky was collapsing, and the earth shattering, with the aftershocks alone being too fierce even for the Purple Mansion Cultivators to dare face head-on!
The fearsome tumult caused a severe tremor throughout the vicinity of Qingyun City, and even some houses not reinforced with formations began to collapse and shatter.
Some of the Qi Cultivators in the early and middle stages, as well as First Rank and Second Rank Demonic Beasts, were so oppressed by the Spirit Might that they struggled to breathe, let alone fight.
The East City gate too was incredibly gruesome, with countless Cultivators dying, and numerous Third Rank and Fourth Rank Demonic Beasts swarming in.
At this moment at the East City gate, five or six War Treasure Ships appeared; countless attack formations, combined with the frenzied throwing of Spirit Talismans from the Spirit Talisman Sect, managed to keep the situation at the gate from becoming utterly desperate.
The pressure on Lin Shiming also dramatically increased. Apart from the Mother and Son Swords, he pulled out the Fiery Flag and the Kuimu Shield, three pieces of Third Rank Intermediate Grade Magic Artifacts, and with the occasional appearance of the Purple Gold Vines, he managed to avoid being in a completely sorry state.
However, he had to keep an eye on the Qi Cultivators of the Lin Family, who also looked quite pale.
As the deputy commander, Lin Xianzhi was still fighting valiantly at the forefront, bathing in blood. His Sword Dao realm, which allowed for Sword Light Transformation, enabled him to display great valor at the East City gate.
By his side, Xie An was even stronger. Though his Sword Dao realm wasn't as high as Lin Xianzhi's, his Sword Techniques and Secret Techniques were far superior, allowing him to single-handedly hold back a Purple Mansion Great Demon that had just entered the Purple Mansion stage!
In the end, the crisis inevitably arrived. The Cultivators terrifyingly realized that compared to the Purple Mansion Great Demons, there were far too few Purple Mansion Cultivators. Yunzhou no longer had any Purple Mansion Families, thus, no Purple Mansion Cultivators existed there.
Not many from the Three Sects arrived either, and it was only the War Treasure Ships that were holding out against the pressure.
At that moment, a Third Rank late-stage Green Bull Demonic Beast fiercely charged towards Lin Shiming's position.
Lin Shiming was greatly alarmed; being only at the early stage of Foundation Establishment, he quickly took out the Tiangang Sword Formation!
One hundred and eight magical swords appeared, instantly forming a gigantic Tiangang Formation Sword in the void.
He crazily slashed towards the Green Bull, and with every strike, a significant portion of his True Yuan depleted!
Fortunately, Lin Shiming had two Spirit Platforms, which allowed his True Yuan to not be reduced by much.
But the Green Bull's horns were terrifying to the extreme, as if they possessed a spirit-breaking effect, directly knocking away the Tiangang Formation Sword, even shattering many of the Formation Patterns on the sword.
Seeing the Green Bull drawing near, Lin Shiming once more sent out nine Formation Swords, immediately creating a surrounding Sword Array. Layers of purple light transformed into countless Sword Qis, slicing towards the Green Bull.
