Chapter 2248: The Beginning of Battle! (Extra Update)

Whoosh!

A black arrow shot out, like black lightning flickering in the air.

In an instant, it pierced through the defensive array, soaring into the sky.

The vast Thunder Sea exploded, a terrible energy surging.

The Lightning King let out a miserable cry, with feathers and blood falling in large patches.

It roared furiously, then departed quickly with a dozen Lightning Birds.

Injured!

The Lightning King was actually injured!

Witnessing this scene, everyone was utterly shocked.

Who on earth is this middle-aged man, so terrifying!

However, more people cried out, it’s the City Lord who has made a move.

Indeed, it was Wan Run City’s City Lord.

This was a Supreme Great Power, who acted when he saw the array above shattering.

With one arrow, he repelled the Lightning King and frightened it away.

Yet, after driving away the Lightning King, the City Lord showed no sign of triumphant joy; instead, his expression was extremely grave.

From a view in the sky, outside was dense with demon beasts, like waves constantly surging.

Merely defending might not hold at all.

Thus, the next moment, he spoke loudly.

All guards in the city, listen: activate the array to resist the demon beasts!

At the same time, elite squad, come with me to kill the enemy!

Yes!

Figures clad in war armor soared into the air, holding long spears and swords, their killing aura sharp.

Upon hearing the City Lord’s voice, they raised their arms and cheered.

The sound was like myriad beasts roaring together, incredibly terrifying.

This was not all; the City Lord spoke again, loudly: now, in my capacity as Wan Run City’s City Lord, I offer a reward for killing.

And this reward is the priority to leave on the Spirit Boat.

After the demon beasts retreat, the first Spirit Boat will head to Qianshan Domain.

Whoever slays the most demon beasts will qualify to board the first Spirit Boat.

Upon hearing this eligibility, everyone was shocked and started discussing.

Many powerful individuals were eager, their eyes flashing.

However, the City Lord continued, although this is a reward, I still advise everyone.

If you lack strength, absolutely do not go out.

I don’t want you to die for nothing!

From now on, every two hours we will open a passage for martial artists to enter and exit.

Each passage opens for only half a stick of incense time,

Make sure to seize this opportunity,

Now. Set out!

With a cold shout, the City Lord took the lead, striding out.

Behind him followed countless martial artists.

These were the martial artists of the City Lord Mansion, full of killing intent, looking ready for battle.

They soared into the air, leaving Wan Run City.

Moreover, whirlpool portals appeared in all directions around Wan Run City. These were the passages.

Allowing other martial artists to enter and exit.

To act or not?

People discussed among themselves.

Some bold ones stepped into the whirlpool, leaving the city.

Others gritted their teeth, damn it, these demon beasts are really hateful!

Do they really think our Human Clan is without anyone?

Kill them!

Many soared into the sky, also entering the whirlpool.

However, some shook their heads, pale-faced.

Stay outside for two hours? Are you kidding! You’ll definitely be killed!

That’s tens of thousands of demon beasts, not a joke.

So, the majority stayed here.

Judging by the situation, the city isn’t likely to be breached soon, so it’s absolutely safe here.

Going out might allow leaving early but also carries a high chance of death. (Piracy must die)

Among the crowd, Lin Xuan squinted his eyes, a chance to leave early?

Hearing this, he smiled, his eyes gleaming.

He had long wanted to leave Wan Run City, to escape the Taiyi Dynasty’s pursuit.

But, unfortunately, a beast tide appeared, making it impossible for him to leave now.

Nevertheless, the City Lord’s conditions sounded like immense temptation to him.

Thinking of this, Lin Xuan didn’t hesitate, his figure flickered, entering the whirlpool.

Lin Xuan’s departure sparked discussions among surrounding martial artists.

This young man dares to leave the city? He’s truly bold!

Indeed, I haven’t sensed any strong aura from this boy, and he’s so young.

Can he do it?

Could it be he’s a Heavenly Pride?

Or perhaps a genius from a major family?

Some wondered.

However, more shook their heads.

Never seen him; he looks so unfamiliar, and he doesn’t bear any family insignia, probably not a disciple of any major family.

These people shook their heads, believing the boy’s departure was purely sending himself to death.

He must be too young and ignorant of the world.

Soon, many went out; the whirlpool in all directions gradually faded.

To activate again, it requires two hours.

And after two hours, if they can return, it’s left to fate.

Inside the city, others watched, many hovering in the air, gazing into the distance.

Because they wanted to see how the battle outside was unfolding.

After all, those who dared to go out were the city’s elites.

Even several Great Powers!

Presumably, they could hold their ground, slaying many demon beasts.

Whew!

As Lin Xuan exited the city, he was surrounded by terrifying storms and overwhelming demon energy.

Looking around was dense with demon beasts, with all kinds of attributes and forms, incredibly terrifying.

Boom!

Upon his appearance, dozens of demon beasts rushed at him.

Among them were Green-striped Split Leopards, Black Evil Demon Wolves.

Ghost Head Bees, and so on.

In short, all were extremely terrifying demon beasts.

Lin Xuan snorted coldly, countless sword lights emerged around him, swirling in the sky.

Instantly, any demon beast near him was severed.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Bodies dropped, blood sprayed, staining the void red.

However, it was utterly useless.

Surrounding him was an endless beast tide; those dozen demon beast corpses were soon engulfed.

Not even a ripple rose.

Then, more demon beasts surged forward.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Lin Xuan struck, clearing the nearby demon beasts.

Meanwhile, all the martial artists who came out were fighting.

Among them, the group led by the City Lord was the strongest.

Upon appearance, they employed terrifying divine ability martial arts, instantly crushing batches of demon beasts.

Blood gathered, surging in the sky.

This spectacle immediately attracted the attention of those formidable Demon Kings.

Roar!

The previous Lightning King rushed back quickly.

Not only that, there was a one-horned giant python, its body a thousand yards long, like an Earth Dragon, charging fast.

Additionally, a Demon Rat, like a small mountain, with incredibly sharp teeth that could cut through the void with a light move.

This was also a formidable Demon King.

All these Demon Kings came charging, fighting with those Great Power Kings and the City Lord.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

A world-shattering storm swept around, countless demon beasts were blasted away; for a moment, a vacuum area appeared there,

Yet, not all martial artists were so dominant.

Some were unlucky.
