PFC Chapter 137 Beast Tide Eruption
Chapter 137 Beast Tide Eruption
In fact, there are certain rules governing the struggle between forces above the Golden Core level. One rule is that Golden Core cultivators are not allowed to attack cultivators below them. There is obviously a reason why this rule was established.
However, aside from what is said on the surface, those forces usually do not actually abide by the rules.
After the White Feather Demon King's cry reached the depths of the Northern Frontier, various roars of demonic beasts echoed through the region, followed by heavy stomping sounds.
Clearly, the beast tide has arrived, and at this moment, the survivors outside have all entered the market, where they are vigilantly watching the depths of the northern frontier.
To Xia Yuhui's great regret, their team suffered no casualties whatsoever.
Soon, the people in the market saw thousands upon thousands of beasts, an endless horde. But when Xia Yuhui finished looking at the beasts and turned to look at the Golden Core cultivators again, they had already vanished without a trace.
Furthermore, the three demonic beasts had vanished without a trace, clearly having gone to find a suitable place to fight.
After discovering they were all gone, Xia Yuhui lost interest in searching for them, as the beast tide below was what he needed to face.
Guiyun Sect was clearly prepared; as soon as the beast horde approached, both large formations were activated.
These two large formations are of the third rank, and the spiritual veins in the market cannot withstand such a huge drain. However, there is a way to make up for it, which is to use spirit stones to replenish them.
Of course, the consumption would be extremely high. As far as Xia Yuhui knew, all the spirit stones required to activate this third-order array had to be mid-grade spirit stones. One mid-grade spirit stone required 1000 spirit stones to exchange for, and the price would usually be higher.
After all, what a mid-grade spirit stone can do, an ordinary spirit stone simply cannot.
Just as Xia Yuhui's team was in shock, a group of Foundation Establishment cultivators dressed in the attire of Guiyun Sect disciples swiftly approached like the wind, followed closely by thousands of Guiyun Sect cultivators.
"All teams must assemble immediately and await further instructions. No unauthorized actions are permitted."
In a short while, the group began to direct the crowd in an orderly manner, making everyone instantly well-organized.
"You 17 teams, quickly replenish the formation's mana. The rest of you Foundation Establishment cultivators, gather here immediately. The formation ahead will activate shortly, and some demonic beasts will intrude. We must kill them without delay..."
Before long, a Foundation Establishment cultivator rushed to their group and said to Daoist Luoyun, "Senior brother, the sect leader has ordered you to defend against the first wave of demonic beasts."
Daoist Luoyun did not utter a word, but simply nodded silently.
"As you all know, the great battle has already begun. Everyone in the market must do their utmost. If we successfully withstand this attack, we will have a day to rest. Let's move quickly, the monsters are coming, and we need to go to the designated location to wait for orders." After the person who came to inform them left, Daoist Luoyun instructed his teammates.
Upon hearing this, the group could only look distressed and reluctantly step forward.
When Xia Yuhui arrived at his destination, looking at the endless array of demonic beasts outside the formation, his legs began to tremble involuntarily.
He had cultivated for nearly 40 years and had never seen such a scene before.
Just then, the array light barrier less than ten feet away from him suddenly trembled.
Xia Yuhui looked up and saw that the formation above had already begun its attack. Countless fire spells shot out from the formation like meteors, heading straight for the demonic beasts.
These attacks are incredibly powerful; if they were to hit a second-tier demon beast, it would be difficult for it to escape unscathed.
Presumably, this third-tier formation was set up by the Guiyuan Sect because fire magic is effective against most demonic beasts.
The Guiyun Sect set up two formations, one offensive and one defensive. The defensive formation was called the Double Departure from the Ends of the Earth Formation.
Its function is not only defensive, but it can also divide the battlefield.
Once activated, this formation creates two layers of inner and outer defensive light screens, which can be opened and closed at any time. This formation is primarily used to defend against beast tides.
The effect is to first release some of the monsters, then send people to annihilate the monsters released in the middle, and after this part is eliminated, release another part.
In this way, the pressure outside the formation can be greatly reduced, and the number of monsters can be quickly decreased.
"Prepare everything. We'll send a group of cannon fodder forward shortly to halt the monsters' charge." The originally solemn-faced Daoist Luoyun seemed to have received a telepathic message from someone and immediately informed everyone.
Everyone was taken aback, but soon they realized that if the monsters were allowed to enter now, they would become ferocious and savage. Sending a group of cannon fodder to their deaths first to quell their ferocity would have a miraculous effect.
Just as Xia Yuhui was assessing the strength of the monsters ahead, Jin Shengxin and Jin Shengguang slowly approached Xia Yuhui's side.
"Fellow Daoist Xia, we will soon be fighting these beasts to the death. Our two families have a very close relationship, and the three of us should help each other out." Jin Shengguang said with a smile.
There's no other way; Xia Yuhui is incredibly powerful. If we greet him now, we might be able to save our lives if we encounter danger later.
“That’s right, Fellow Daoist Xia, rest assured. My brother and I will keep a close eye on your movements. If you encounter any misfortune, we will definitely help you.” Jin Shengxin, who had offended Xia Yuhui in the past, also bowed his head in a rare manner.
There is great terror between life and death.
"Haha, it's alright. Fellow Daoists, as long as you're not far from me later, if you can help me, I will definitely lend a hand. I hope you two will also keep an eye on my side at that time." Xia Yuhui thought for a moment and then agreed. It would always be good to have two more people helping him.
Upon hearing this, the two members of the Jin family immediately nodded in agreement, and the three of them reached a preliminary agreement.
After a brief exchange, the three fell silent and turned to stare at the group of demonic beasts.
Observing the strength of those demonic beasts more closely now might yield some results, so the group observed them extremely carefully.
"Fellow Daoist Xia, please keep a close eye on my side later." At this moment, Xia Yuhui heard these words.
Xia Yuhui's body trembled slightly. He turned his head and glanced at the expressionless Luoyun Daoist. After a moment's thought, he replied telepathically, "Mutual assistance!"
Upon hearing the satisfactory reply, a slight ripple appeared on Daoist Luoyun's face, which had been as calm as an ancient pool.
Although he was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, in this war he was at most just a slightly larger ant, so he also needed to find helpers, and Xia Yuhui was one of them.
After three years of observation, Daoist Luoyun knew that Xia Yuhui's strength was far more complex than it appeared.
Even if the two were to actually fight, Luo Yun Dao Ren was not entirely confident that he could defeat Xia Yu Hui.
Before long, the area outside the formation was filled with demonic beasts, and the large formation used for attack was also launching various attacks with all its might.
However, the surging tide of beasts was boundless, and such an offensive had little effect on them.
After the number of demonic beasts that rushed outside the formation increased, the formation opened up on its own, and the demonic beasts rushed into it.
Once the number of monsters that had crawled in was nearly complete, the opening returned to its original state.
A crack appeared in the light screen in front of Xia Yuhui and the others, and the more than 500 Qi Refining cultivators who were already prepared roared and rushed forward.
Clearly, they had been mentally prepared, but in the end, several monks remained where they were.
However, what awaited them was the merciless slaughter of the Guiyun Sect cultivators. After two cultivators were brutally killed, the remaining cultivators gritted their teeth and charged forward.
