The beast tide, which had been charging relentlessly forward, felt that extreme heat and instinctively veered to either side in terror.
After all, several thousand beasts had already plunged into it.
Ye Xiu praised the plan from the side. This had saved them no small amount of effort.
Ye Zong praised Nie Li as well.
Shen Hong, however, wore a dark expression. How could he have imagined that such simple materials could halt the beast tide's advance outright?
When the demon beasts realized they could not easily charge through the sea of fire ahead, they immediately changed direction, preparing to attack the walls on either side.
Ye Zong's expression changed drastically. The eastern and western walls were nowhere near as well defended as this section!
Several flaming feathered arrows shot into the beast tide.
A few happened to land in pits containing other liquids.
Boom!
Those thunderous blasts triggered a chain of explosions.
Flames soared into the sky, spreading in every direction like a demon's enormous claws. A vast patch of the beast tide was blasted empty. The demon beasts near the centers of the explosions were instantly pulverized, while those slightly farther away were hurled aside by the powerful shock waves, letting out agonized cries.
The horde descended into chaos. Those at the rear, unaware of what had happened ahead, continued surging forward, while those at the front desperately retreated or fled to the sides, crushing and trampling one another.

Nie Li remained perfectly calm. They would soon reach the second line of defense.
Several more flaming feathered arrows flew out.
Rumble!
The explosions that had driven the beast tide forward
