"Boom!!"
The sound, like thousands of horses galloping, became increasingly obvious.
Demon Slaying City trembled slightly, seeming on the verge of collapse!
"Whew!"
At this moment, Wu Zhiming, who had retreated earlier, leaped from below the city wall onto the terrace. His eyes swept across and saw the city lord with a worried expression, then he strode forward and said urgently:
"City Lord, things are not looking good; it seems there has been an incident in the Demon Beast Mountain Range. Look…"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and pointed to a direction behind the beast tide.
Mu Jinyu and the city lord turned their heads upon hearing this, looking in the direction Wu Zhiming pointed, their faces changing once more.
They saw that in the spot Wu Zhiming pointed to, there weren't many ferocious beasts clustered together, only four or five.
Yet these four or five ferocious beasts were enough to change their expressions, indicating these beasts were extraordinary!
Because these five ferocious beasts were all demon king level among the third rank demonic beasts!
The so-called demon king level, of course, is slightly inferior to the Great Demon King, but being a demon king clearly isn't much less.
If the demon king is equivalent to the peak ninth layer strong human cultivator.
Then... the demon king is a late stage strong cultivator of the seventh to ninth layers of the Fanxu realm!
Generally speaking, even in a massive beast tide, demon kings rarely appear.
Because if a beast tide is triggered by the emergence of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, the demon kings would want to monopolize the benefits and drive away ordinary ferocious beasts to prevent them from muddling through!
Yet now, in this beast tide, as many as four or five demon kings have appeared. What on earth happened in the Demon Beast Mountain Range?
Will it remain unsettled even if they solve this catastrophe?
Unlike Mu Jinyu worrying about the changes in the Demon Beast Mountain Range, the city lord is more concerned about how to deal with these four or five demon kings!
This demon king isn't something he can handle alone; he can only barely hold one up.
After all, it is known that ferocious beasts, due to their special physique, are often stronger than humans at the same level!
Therefore, even though he is at the seventh layer of the Fanxu realm, only barely counts as demon king level when facing a demon king head-on. He can only barely hold them off, unable to slay them!
The city lord swept his gaze over the five demon kings, and his eyes became more worried and serious.
Frightening Cloud Soul-Splitting Rabbit!
Storm Red Gold Rhinoceros!
Fatal Crack Gold Tiger!
Chasing Cloud Thunder Kirin!
Purple Lightning Mysterious Sky Leopard!
None of these five demon kings are easy opponents, the city lord estimated he could barely hold off only that Frightening Cloud Soul-Splitting Rabbit!
He sighed deeply and turned to Wu Zhiming, speaking apologetically: "I'm sorry, Warrior of Wu Kingdom, I can only barely hold off that Frightening Cloud Soul-Splitting Rabbit; as for the rest..."
Wu Zhiming frowned upon hearing, saying: "I still need three people to help me hold off the remaining three demon kings so I can slay one and then provide assistance!"
"But…"
Wu Zhiming paused as he spoke, glanced around at the hundreds of cultivators present but couldn't find anyone at the seventh layer of the Fanxu realm!
Not even a sixth or fifth layer!
Under these circumstances, is it possible for him alone to hold off four demon kings?
Wu Zhiming couldn't help but reveal a look of helplessness and sighed: "Just the two of us, can we hold off five demon kings? Haha... is it really destiny to break my Demon Slaying City?"
Mu Jinyu frowned, saying: "Alright, I'll tangle with the remaining three demon kings!"
"You?!"
Upon hearing Mu Jinyu's words, Wu Zhiming jerked his head up and looked at him. Initially, he held some hope, thinking there might be a senior among the crowd he hadn't noticed.
But when he saw Mu Jinyu's appearance and his peak third layer of the Fanxu realm cultivation, Wu Zhiming couldn't help but feel disappointed again.
However, Mu Jinyu was good-hearted after all, with so many people present, who wouldn't hear his previous words? Yet no one volunteered to fight against the demon kings!
Only Mu Jinyu offered to help.
Which made Wu Zhiming quite fond of him.
But in this situation, Wu Zhiming didn't want Mu Jinyu to risk his life for nothing, so he shook his head: "Best stay on the wall and blast away at the charging ordinary ferocious beasts with everyone!"
Mu Jinyu said: "Although I don't have the confidence to slay three demon kings at once, I am confident I can survive; why not give it a try?"
"Hmm? Who are you?" Wu Zhiming, hearing Mu Jinyu's calm words and seeing his calm demeanor, wondered that someone so young reaching the peak third layer of the Fanxu realm couldn't be a fool, yet he had such confidence, could he be a monster?
Mu Jinyu didn't say much more, directly deploying his nearly hundred-meter-wide crimson domain.
Suddenly, everyone enclosed within his domain felt their blood surging, seemingly ready to burst from their bodies at any moment, drastically changing their expressions, filled with fear.
"A domain?!"
Wu Zhiming was, after all, considered a prodigy, having realized a special domain, thus when Mu Jinyu's domain stretched over everyone, his domain automatically deployed to counter Mu Jinyu, preventing his life from instantly falling under Mu Jinyu's control!
Then he discovered that his domain seemed to be at a disadvantage in defense against Mu Jinyu's!
This left Wu Zhiming feeling incredible and unable to accept.
Then he thought of the keywords: peak third layer of the Fanxu realm, crimson domain, and couldn't help but exclaim: "You are Mu Jinyu?"
Although Wu Zhiming rarely paid attention to other countries' matters, Mu Jinyu's incident of making several great sects bow down spread to Wu Kingdom, which he certainly heard of.
As he thought Mu Jinyu might participate in the Hidden Dragon Conference, potentially being a formidable opponent, he specifically paid extra attention to Mu Jinyu's news.
Therefore, when Mu Jinyu revealed his domain, he immediately recognized the young man before him as the dark horse Mu Jinyu he had been following recently, besides those heirs of hidden sects and super clans!
"Indeed, it is I."
Mu Jinyu nodded and acknowledged.
Simultaneously, he retracted his bloody domain, immediately allowing the present cultivators' boiling Qi to subside, feeling much better.
Then they recalled Mu Jinyu and Wu Zhiming's conversation and, disregarding their earlier panic, said excitedly: "What, he's Mu Jinyu? That's great. With this monster, Warrior of Wu Kingdom, and the city lord, this beast tide should be easily resolved!"
At this moment, Mu Jinyu's expression changed slightly, with no more words exchanged with the city lord or Wu Zhiming; he leaped from the wall while a cautionary voice sounded.
"I'll go intercept the three demon kings and slay these ferocious beasts charging at the city wall; you prepare to resist!"
As the words fell, everyone's expression changed slightly, realizing that during their conversation earlier, those ferocious beasts had already reached the city wall.
However, with Mu Jinyu's leap, spreading his crimson domain, the thousands of ferocious beasts in the lead instantly turned into a pile of bones!
And without pause, having slain the forefront beasts, Mu Jinyu headed straight like a nail towards the position of the five great demon kings!
