"Holy crap, who is this guy? Is he suicidal, charging out like that?!"
The crowd trembling on the wall watched in shock as that person jumped onto the wall and then charged out, even heading straight for the beast tide. They were all stunned.
Then they came to their senses, looking at that person's back with pity and regret.
In such a massive beast tide, instead of staying on the wall and joining forces with the City Guard Army to slay the ferocious beasts, he rushed toward them. Is he not dying fast enough?
Because the Demon Slaying City is close to the Demon Beast Mountain Range, its position is very special. The materials used for its construction are unique, and a typical beast tide might not even breach the walls.
But with this kind of massive beast tide, relying solely on the city walls to resist the impact of the beast tide is obviously impossible. However, with everyone united on the wall, casting spells together, wave after wave of firepower rained down. It might not be impossible to hold on until the beast tide retreats voluntarily!
Therefore, they all thought the guy who rushed out, attempting to block the beast tide with physical strength alone, was very foolish and ridiculous.
"Huh?"
Mu Jinyu wasn't joining them in lamenting. He looked at that person's back, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
He could see that this person's strength was quite formidable, at least at the peak of the Fifth Layer of the Fanxu Realm, maybe around the Sixth Layer!
Not inferior to Yan Chengyun, who lost to him, and Zhao Daoji, who died by his hand!
This was unnoticed due to the low power level of everyone present.
"With such strength, although trying to withstand the beast tide is indeed difficult, he should be able to create some resistance. This guy is quite a brave one!"
Mu Jinyu sighed with admiration.
"Whoosh!"
At this moment, that person moved incredibly fast, reaching the front of the beast tide in an instant. Then from him as the center, a golden light shield nearly sixty meters in diameter burst forth!
This golden light shield, resembling a giant meat grinder, enveloped the ferocious beasts within it. Whether First-Level Ferocious Beasts, Second Rank Ferocious Beasts, or even Third Rank Demonic Beasts, they could not resist and were ground into minced meat on the spot!
"This is..."
Seeing this, Mu Jinyu's eyes slightly narrowed as he immediately recognized this person's identity.
With cultivation at the peak of the Fifth Layer of the Fanxu Realm, combined with a special domain!
This person, without a doubt, should be the one considered the last hope by everyone...
Wu Zhiming!
Sure enough, with the appearance of this golden light shield, those who hadn't recognized Wu Zhiming's identity also exclaimed.
"It's him, it's the Warrior of Wu Kingdom! The Warrior of Wu Kingdom has made a move!"
"Hahaha, wonderful, the Warrior of Wu Kingdom is in Demon Slaying City, heaven hasn't abandoned us!!"
"Now we're saved, with the Warrior of Wu Kingdom here, a mere beast tide is no big deal!"
Once they recognized Wu Zhiming, everyone was moved to tears of joy, ecstatic beyond belief!
Just before Wu Zhiming took action, the original residents of Demon Slaying City were utterly despondent, terrified of the beast tide breaching the city. What would happen to their family and friends?!
But now that Wu Zhiming has made his move, they no longer had such fears!
A few years ago, there was also a grand beast tide in the Demon Slaying City, which Wu Zhiming handled. Now, years later, Wu Zhiming is stronger. Although this beast tide seems even fiercer than the last, with Wu Zhiming's strength, it should be manageable.
"What's the situation now?"
At this time, a man clad in silver armor stood on the wall, inquiring.
This man was tall, about one meter ninety, almost two meters, though his face was obscured by a helmet, it was imagined he was quite imposing and majestic.
With his appearance and inquiry, everyone's attention shifted from Wu Zhiming to him as they recognized the identity of this silver-armored man.
He was the City Lord of the Demon-Suppressing City!
His cultivation was at the peak of the Seventh Layer of the Fanxu Realm, extremely powerful. He was made the City Lord of Demon Slaying City to resist the Demon Beast Mountain Range, otherwise, with his strength, he should be stationed at the Wu Kingdom's Royal City!
"The City Lord is here too, we don't need to worry too much now!"
Seeing this, the visiting cultivators breathed a sigh of relief, no longer as tense as before.
And the City Guard Soldiers on the wall, seeing the City Lord appear, immediately ran up to him and reported: "Reporting to the City Lord, the current beast tide assessment is that it is a Level Eleven Beast Tide, more severe than the Level Ten Beast Tide two years ago. At present, the Warrior of Wu Kingdom has gone to the front lines to fight. In about half a quarter of an hour, the beast tide will reach Demon Slaying City. Please advise on the battle plan!"
"Hmm, I get it!"
The City Lord, after hearing the soldier's report, also looked towards the silhouette ahead like a meat grinder, continuously slaughtering ferocious beasts with a hint of appreciation in his eyes.
"Prepare to activate the God Slaying Cannon!"
The City Lord retracted his gaze and then made the decision!
"Activate the God Slaying Cannon directly?" The soldier was taken aback by the City Lord's words. He then asked in a worried tone: "Won't it harm the Warrior of Wu Kingdom?"
Generally, soldiers only need to obey without question!
But the reputation of the Warrior of Wu Kingdom is very high in the hearts of the people of Demon Slaying City. They're afraid that using the God Slaying Cannon would affect the national scholar who stood alone on the front lines to protect the city!
This is why he couldn't help but question the City Lord.
The City Lord didn't mind, explaining, "Don't worry, the Warrior of Wu Kingdom is strong enough to withstand the aftermath of the God Slaying Cannon, and we'll target the back of the beast tide. The Warrior of Wu Kingdom will be fine!"
The so-called God Slaying Cannon is a unique Spiritual Treasure of the Demon Slaying City. It can absorb large amounts of Spiritual Energy, Elemental Qi, and Blood Qi, accumulating a terrifying energy blast!
Even a strong cultivator at the peak of the Ninth Layer of the Fanxu Realm, if standing directly at the firing point of the God Slaying Cannon, would be obliterated completely!
However, while the God Slaying Cannon is strong, it also has numerous drawbacks. It requires at least five minutes to accumulate energy!
Five minutes might not seem long, but in the battle of the strong, others could kill you thousands of times while you're charging it!
This is a major drawback. Secondly, activating the God Slaying Cannon requires a strong cultivator at the late stage of the Fanxu Realm to trigger it.
Among those present, aside from the City Lord, no one had the cultivation above the Seventh Layer of the Fanxu Realm. Even Mu Jinyu and Wu Zhiming, with the strength to kill at the Late Stage of the Fanxu Realm, couldn't activate the God Slaying Cannon!
For all these reasons, the God Slaying Cannon seemed rather impractical!
This was why Wu Zhiming did not remain to activate the God Slaying Cannon earlier, but went directly to the front lines, to buy time for the City Lord to activate the God Slaying Cannon to bombard the rear of the beast tide!
If the rear of the beast tide is scared off, and he then cleans up the front, it would mean the end of the tide.
"Understood!"
Having received the explanation, the soldier no longer hesitated, immediately calling for everyone to go with him to the location where the God Slaying Cannon was stored!
The crowd swarmed eagerly!
They all wanted to see the God Slaying Cannon for themselves!
Mu Jinyu was also quite curious, and seeing the City Lord had a lot of confidence, he wasn't in a rush to charge to the front lines to slay ferocious beasts.
