Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal-Chapter 217 - 147: Tier Three Great Demon

From beneath the flying ship, a giant claw burst forth, like a yellow lightning bolt slicing towards the flying ship.

"Slash!"

Before those on the flying ship could react, it was instantly split in two.

Then, a massive bloody mouth opened wide, bringing with it a powerful suction.

The cultivators of the Yinn family were shocked and dismayed, showing expressions of utter despair.

The three Foundation Establishment cultivators desperately activated their mana, trying to resist the suction force.

However, it was all in vain.

They only felt a sudden darkness before entering a confined space, then lost consciousness.

Everyone on the flying ship was swallowed by the bloody mouth.

Chewed a few times, then swallowed into the belly.

This unexpected turn of events shocked everyone on the city wall.

Yinn Zhengyuan’s face turned pale, eyes wide in horror.

Two-thirds of his Yinn family members had fallen right before his eyes.

Including the Grand Elder, three Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Now, the entire Yinn family had only him left as a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

"Tier Three Great Demon!"

Ding Jiehe exclaimed in shock upon seeing the yellow demon beast, which resembled a lizard.

Capable of killing three Foundation Establishment cultivators and nearly a hundred Qi Refining cultivators in one strike, this power truly made one’s heart race.

A cold sweat broke out in his heart.

If Zuo Qifan had listened to their suggestion earlier, this Tier Three Great Demon would have infiltrated the Immortal City.

The consequences then would have been unimaginable.

On the other side, Zuo Qifan’s expression remained unchanged; with a Tier Three Middle-Grade Array here, that Tier Three Great Demon could not get inside.

The Tier Three lizard finished consuming the Luo family cultivators and showed a satisfied expression.

Then, it greedily gazed towards the direction of everyone on the city wall.

Spoke in human tongue:

"Seems you got lucky!"

Then it transformed into a yellow light and disappeared underground.

Now, those cultivators who had felt sympathy for Yinn Zhengyuan, believing Zuo Qifan to be too ruthless, were all filled with a sense of fear.

Thankfully, Elder Zuo didn’t follow their advice, otherwise they wouldn’t have survived.

Truly worthy of being under Master White Cloud, indeed extraordinary.

"Boom——"

"Boom——"

Just then, the sound of ringing bells echoed throughout the Immortal City.

The bells rang only when the Immortal City faced an external invasion.

Listening to the bells, Zhou Xun looked towards Hundred Savage Mountain.

"Husband, is the beast tide coming!"

Song Yiqing stood beside Zhou Xun, full of worry. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Every cultivator in the Immortal City was conscripted, even Zhou Xun’s concubine, Song Yiqing, was no exception.

However, he naturally would not let his inexperienced Dao partner remain in Zuo Qifan’s cultivator team.

Her task now was to assist Zhou Xun in managing logistical matters.

Previously handling secular affairs at Wangchuan Lake made her well-suited for this position now.

"Yes, the ringing of the city’s bells signifies an external invasion; at this point, it can only mean the beast tide!"

Zhou Xun nodded and said.

"Can we hold them off?"

She had read many records about the beast tide.

"No problem, our Immortal City has a Tier Three Middle-Grade Array, along with Master and Brother Bo’an, two Core Formation Masters, enough to face four Great Demons!"

Zhou Xun reassured.

Though he said this, he did not actually have complete confidence deep down.

Facing four Great Demons is possible, but if more come, we won’t be able to withstand!

"Luckily, I have honed the Heaven-Escaping Talisman to great success; its speed surpasses typical Early-Stage True Pill cultivators, escaping shouldn’t be a problem!"

He quickly reassured his somewhat anxious subordinates, as the bell’s sounds were indeed unsettling them.

...

Booming sound!!!

A huge sound, along with tremors of the earth, boomed first from the direction of the West City Wall.

Demon beasts attacked the city!

A massive yellow lizard, dozens of yards large, opened its mouth, conjuring several dozen-yard long earth spikes, then smashed them towards the city wall.

A large green snake, over a yard in diameter, rose to stand; its height matched the city wall, its tail flashed, and a white beam several feet wide burst forth.

Additionally, a demon beast the size of a wild boar, with a black shell, brazenly charged at the city wall.

Beside it, thousands of various demon beasts.

Using all sorts of means, firing fireballs, ice spikes, or relying on strong bodies, they attacked the Array Light Shield.

Continuous booming sounds erupted,

the Defense Light Shield fluctuated with ripples.

Zuo Qifan’s brow furrowed slightly, as he waved a command flag, a spirit light shot out, hitting the shield in front.

The shield flashed with radiance and instantly restored.

Meanwhile, other sections of White Cloud Immortal City’s walls also roared,

Stationed at the East City Wall was Xing Huai’an, South City Wall was Master Yufeng Liu Bo’an, North City Wall was a Foundation Establishment Peak cultivator named Guo Renyou.

This person is the martial nephew of Zhou Xun and the group, their third senior’s direct disciple.

Powerful and practices Dharma and Body Cultivation!

Each of them holds a command flag to control the array.

Faced with the violent bombardment from these demon beasts, they managed to fend off the attack.

However, not without a cost.

With each attack by the demon beast group, each defense by the Defense Array, massive spiritual power is consumed.

While White Cloud Immortal City possesses a Tier Three Middle-Grade Spirit Vein, providing ample spiritual qi,

due to today’s full-scale defense, the consumption of spiritual qi is extremely astonishing.

If it were a Tier Three High-Grade Spirit Vein, it might just barely suffice.

Thus, the city cannot help but supplement with Spirit Stones.

Various parts of the city’s array eyes, with cultivators in White Cloud Immortal City uniforms, were directing subordinates to transport boxes of Spirit Stones, placing them into a peculiar circular disk.

The disk flickered like human breathing.

Each flicker drained all spiritual power from the Spirit Stones, turning them into waste stones.

Subsequently, cultivators would remove the waste stones and replace them with fresh Spirit Stones.

A moment later again drained, turning to waste stones, and then replaced.

Repeatedly, Spirit Stones were consumed.

At this time, cultivators on the city wall prepared fiercely.

Waiting for Zuo Qifan’s command to strike.

Beneath the city wall, more cultivators awaited, ready to take over when the city wall cultivators withdrew.

"Brother, strike while the iron is hot, don’t let them wear us down!" Ding Jiehe advised nearby.

"Hold a moment!" Zuo Qifan’s face remained unchanged, his eyes calm, staring at the densest crowd of demon beasts.

"How are things elsewhere?" Zuo Qifan asked.

"The demon beasts have encircled us layer by layer! But elsewhere, the city walls are led by Tier Two High-Grade demon beasts; they should hold!"

Ding Jiehe replied.

"That’s the benefit; we handle the pressure here, allowing other areas to inflict significant losses!"

"Only through enough killing will they retreat!"

When he mentioned killing, a bloodthirsty glow showed in Zuo Qifan’s eyes.

Their strategy is to use arrays to massively kill off the demon beasts’ active forces.

When their numbers are significantly reduced, they’ll naturally retreat.

Soon, day one passed, the Immortal City held off the first wave of attacks.

The demon beasts temporarily retreated.
