The northeast side of the Highload town.
Rag, Fiona, and others killed as many as possible as their breath flowed. They had also accumulated various injuries on their bodies, but they ignored those and kept on fighting.
But they were not able to keep all of them at bay, as many passed their range of defense and started attacking the wall, wanting to breach past it.
Rag and others knew things were starting to get out of their hands, so they took out their communication talisman jade and sent messages to their clans to prepare for a full-blown attack.
Fiona didn't have anyone to send, as she was just worried about her sisters and her employees.
She, in anger, went to tackle the ones that were stronger than her, despite knowing she had a low chance of success. Rag and Nialy also decided to do this as they couldn't let these strong ones get into the town because no one was strong and capable enough to handle them.
They told their plan to the other elders, and they also followed through, letting the weaker ones pass by them.
A few minutes later, they heard something getting smashed.
BANG!
They looked back and saw the wall was finally destroyed, a wide and long hole could be seen, which let the horde pour in.
Rag and others went back to their jobs, knowing the rest was in the hands of the people in the town.
Inside the town.
"They have breached the northeast side!"
A loud shout could be heard that sank the hearts of many people in the town. They had been hearing this for the last one minute, the warning of getting breached from multiple places.
"Everyone, pick up your weapon and get ready." Another shout could be heard as everyone saw a young man with red hair leading a large group, and beside him were many others.
This young man was none other than Niloy. He had quickly evacuated women and children to the Burnheart family and the other two clans the moment he heard the message from the patriarch and ancestors. He gathered up the branch families, boys and girls, and rallied them to this side of the town.
Not only here, but on every corner of the town, there was a group waiting to defend. Women from the clans and family came out, and the remaining Golden Core Realm cultivators stayed there too.
All here, banded together, just to defend their piece of land.
…
A white streak passed through the air, and followed along with it were white swords that took beasts' and cultivators' lives or at least injured them.
Fiona then halted her flight and was to turn around to kill the remaining ones, but something caught her eye and made her stop.
She saw a fat man in Daoist robes, walking towards her with a cynical smile on his face.
The moment, Fiona's eyes laid upon him, her eyes widened in shock. "Why are you here?"
"HAHAHA….I am here to let this town and its people know what happens when you mess with me." Mingxi laughed out loud without any care.
Fiona was more surprised when she saw the beasts and cultivators run past him like he was invisible to them. She was skeptical at first when she heard his declaration for revenge, but this signified and made her guess what Mingxi had done. "You dare to join hands with the mastermind behind this tragedy!"
"Hehehe, anything to kill you all." Mingxi chuckled to himself and was not afraid to agree with Fiona's assumption.
Everyone who had their ears perked up, especially Rag, who was silently glaring at Mingxi the moment he showed himself, heard the entire conversation between Fiona and Mingxi.
"YOU BASTARD!" Rag exploded in anger as a shockwave of spiritual energy burst out of him, blasting away every enemy nearby him.
Mingxi glanced at Rag and said with a smirk. "Old geezer, I have brought some things that will forcefully put you to sleep on your grave."
Just as Mingxi finished saying that, close to twenty Nascent Soul Realm beasts and cultivators rushed out from behind Mingxi.
Rag and others were widened by the sheer number of Nascent Soul Realm enemies in front of him.
Nialy quickly used [ Ice Queen's Incarnation ], covering herself with armor made of IceFire, boosting her defense and offense.
Rag clapped his hands and said, closing his eyes. " [ Giant's Blessing ] "
Brown spiritual energy writhed out of Rag's body and flowed throughout the entire body. Rag's muscles started to expand and veins started to pop out, making him look like a humanoid beast.
Rag's eyes shot open, and he disappeared from his spot, appearing before his first Nascent Soul Realm victim.
Bang!
Rag's punch landed on the cultivator's face and shot his body to the ground as if he had been hit by a bulldozer.
On the other side, Nialy thrust her sword, and from it a fiery ice lotus sprung out that was much bigger and stronger than the one used by Freya. This lotus landed on her enemies, instantly immobilizing them.
While Rag and Nialy started tanking on the enemies in the Nascent Soul Realm, the Golden Core Realm behind them had their hands already full, which were about to overflow. But they couldn't do anything as Rag and Nialy were sacrificing themselves.
They hadn't had to face any Nascent Soul Realm enemies till now, so they were able to cope, but these Nascent Soul Realm enemies changed everything.
From what Rag and Nialy could assume, these Nascent Soul Realm enemies ranged from First Stage to Fourth Stage which was completely out of their range.
They were currently thinking of sending a message for help from the main camp, but they were also worried to receive a reply about having no manpower, which might break their hearts and their hopes.
Meanwhile, Mingxi looked at Fiona and said, with a lascivious smile. "You bitch, how can you be as beautiful as my queen? I can't let you go, I have to stain your body completely."
