The ten-second countdown ended.
The protective array at the East Gate slowly opened a gap.
Then, Gu Xue waved her right hand, and countless Ice longswords appeared out of thin air, falling down on the Demonic Beast below.
Gu Xue, with her cultivation at the fourth level of the Nascent Soul Realm, was using a Upper Third Pin) technique.
The Demonic Beast below were at most at the Golden Core Realm, with most being below the Foundation Establishment Realm Demonic Beast.
This single move wiped out a large number of Demonic Beast.
"Kill!" Gu Xue shouted to the crowd below after unleashing her ultimate move.
Ling Yi led his hundred-man squad and charged forward.
There were no fancy skills, not even weapons, just pure punches and kicks.
It's not that they don't want to use the skills, but that they don't need them for the time being.
They all possessed the strength of Martial Practitioner at the Marrow Refining Realm, capable of Instant Kill Demonic Beast with a single punch or kick.
One hundred people lined up in a row, and in the blink of an eye, they annihilated a large number of Demonic Beast.
These hundred people formed an iron wall, firmly keeping the Demonic Beast outside the gap in the formation.
And it slowly pushes outwards in reverse.
It wasn't that Ling Yi and his team didn't want to move faster, but rather that they needed time to give others time to fill in on the front lines.
Gu Xue stared in astonishment at the hundred Black Robe powerhouses wearing Death God masks.
"When did such a force emerge in Dafeng City? Wanfu Company has really been hiding its strength well."
However, the fact that these people were able to step up at crucial moments and rush to the front lines improved Gu Xue's impression of Wanfu Company slightly.
At least with this force, the east gate has been held for the time being.
" Death God Squad, the East Gate is your responsibility. Hold it no matter what. I'm going to reinforce the West City Gate," Gu Xue shouted to Ling Yi and the others.
Because she didn't know what to call Ling Yi and his group, and since they were all wearing Death God masks, Gu Xue simply named them the Death God Squad.
"Don't worry, Boss Gu, as long as we live, the Demonic Beast will not be able to set foot in the city gates," one of the masked men said loudly.
"Thank you!" Gu Xue clasped her hands in thanks, then turned and flew away.
This is no time for idle chatter; she still needs to go to the West City gate to put out the fire.
With Demonic Beast attacking from all four city gates, the Guard Army began to be stretched thin.
Just like at the South City, if you want to stabilize the situation, you need to deploy at least 20,000 Guard Army at each gate.
Now, the North City, South City, and West City Gate are all Guard Army guards, while the East Gate can only rely on unofficial forces like Ling Yi's.
Fortunately, Ling Yi and his " Death God Squad " are exceptionally Battle Power.
It can definitely withstand it.
As the Combat continued, the reputation of the Death God Squad grew ever greater.
The Combat raged from dawn until dusk.
The corpses of Demonic Beast outside the city gates were piled up like mountains.
A dedicated cleanup team is needed to collect the Demonic Beast corpses using storage equipment before normal Combat can proceed.
Demonic Beast corpses are also important cultivation resources.
It wasn't that the frontline Combat didn't collect the Demonic Beast corpses; rather, their storage equipment was already full.
The area around the east gate had the most Demonic Beast corpses.
Even with dedicated cleanup teams, they couldn't keep up with the rate at which the number of corpses increased.
But at this moment, Ling Yi wished that this Combat could continue indefinitely.
Look at the system interface; the strength of your lineage has increased dramatically.
In just one night, Ling Yi's Spiritual Sense points skyrocketed from less than 40,000 to 120,000.
What does 120,000 mean?
This is the Spiritual Sense strength of a powerful being who Spirit Severing Stage from the Nascent Spirit Transformation Stage stage.
As for where these Spiritual Sense points came from, they naturally came from Refinement the divine souls of these Demonic Beast.
The main method by which the Soul Suppression Art enhances Spiritual Sense is actually the Spirit Transformation.
The soul of Demonic Beast is in no way weaker than that of a cultivator.
With the Refinement of a large number of Beast God, Ling Yi's Spiritual Sense increased rapidly, almost like Rocket.
If he continues to improve like this, one day, Ling Yi's Primordial Spirit will be strong enough to Tribulation Transcendence.
Interestingly, this world doesn't have the concept of "Tribulation Transcendence."
Neither the records of cultivators passed down in the Spirit Martial Immortal Cultivation Realm, nor the cultivators of this world after the revival of Spiritual Qi, mention the concept of Tribulation Transcendence.
Without Tribulation Transcendence, there is naturally no Ascension.
Without Ascension, a cultivator's cultivation level will inevitably have an upper limit or bottleneck.
Whether it's truly because there's no upper realm to Ascension, or whether one's cultivation level is blocked from Ascension, only those with sufficient strength can perhaps know the answer.
Generally speaking, once a cultivator reaches the Nascent Soul Stage, the rate at which their Spiritual Sense increases will decrease significantly.
The Primordial Spirit Spiritual Sense points of Nascent Soul Stage stage cultivator are 10,000, and the Spiritual Sense of Spirit Severing Stage, or even Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator, may still be 10,000.
Many cultivators may have reached the Nascent Soul Spirit Severing Stage, but their Spiritual Sense is only slightly over ten thousand.
The strength of Spiritual Sense does not limit the improvement of one's cultivation level, but the difference in actual strength is like heaven and earth.
Ling Yi could keep grinding, but Dafeng City could only barely hold on.
As time went by, the level of the Demonic Beast became higher and higher. There were fewer and fewer Demonic Beast in the Qi Refining Stage and Foundation Establishment Stage, and Demonic Beast in the Golden Core Realm began to become the main force.
Casualties have already begun to appear in Dafeng City.
If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on for long.
Moreover, the souls of the Demonic Beast killed by others were simply wasted.
If his Primordial Spirit Spiritual Sense could break through millions or tens of millions in one step, then Ling Yi could crush all schemes and plots, both overt and covert.
Thinking of this, Ling Yi had a thought and immediately sent a telepathic Voice Transmission to the hundred-member Death God Squad.
"Five people in a group, Spiritual Sense Formation Casting, capture the soul, and seal the soul."
With the Voice Transmission, the Death God Squad quickly changed formation, splitting into groups of five and spreading out.
As each group of five approached each other, a blue halo rapidly radiated outwards from the center of the group.
Wherever the aura covers, the Demonic Beast will enter a slowed-down state.
Immediately afterwards, the souls of the Demonic Beast were drawn out by the Soul Capturing Seal, and then sealed into their respective Spiritual Sense spaces by the Soul Sealing Seal, compressed into soul beads, and stored away.
Once the Spiritual Sense space is full, it will be transferred to Ling Yi.
Groups of five, twenty groups of one hundred, and twenty halos of light, appearing from the air like twenty movable ground lamps, moving rapidly forward.
Wherever it passed, the Demonic Beast seemed to have all their strength drained away, collapsing to the ground.
Yet, there were no visible wounds on his body.
The other cultivators following behind Ling Yi were dumbfounded by what they saw.
"What kind of technique is this? Why do Demonic Beast die as soon as they touch their aura?" someone exclaimed.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be the Formation of the Ice Extermination Formation," said Big Smarty who had noticed something amiss.
" The Ice Extermination Formation? Isn't the Ice Terminal Illness supposed to prevent movement? How come this Ice Extermination Formation can move around with me?"
"It's been improved!"
"What are they trying to do?"
"Whatever we have to do, in short, Dafeng City will most likely pull through this time."
Ling Yi and his group were like Light Emission erasers, wiping from the East Gate to the South City, and then going against the tide of the main beast tide at the South City.
The entire beast tide was abruptly stopped by Ling Yi and his group.
Zhao Feng and Yun Feihong stood on the city wall, dumbfounded.
During this time, Yun Feihong has been fighting the beast tide on the front line, and he also wants to go against the tide to rescue his grandfather Yun Qingyun in the secret realm.
But there were too many beasts in the horde, and he couldn't break through at all.
As for flying there? You should ask about flying Demonic Beast.
Moreover, Demonic Beast can fly once they reach the Golden Core Realm!
If it weren't for the city's protective formation, which only opened the lower entrance, the Demonic Beast would have already flown into the city. There would be no need for such a troublesome siege battle with the people of Dafeng City.
"Is this the Death God Squad of Wanfu Company?" Zhao Feng asked with a solemn expression.
"When did Wanfu Company develop such a powerful team?"
Yun Feihong ignored him, jumped off the city wall, and chased after him.
Zhao Feng didn't know who these people were, but as someone whose soul was controlled by the Soul Control Seal, he naturally knew their identities.
Even he hadn't expected Ling Yi to be so powerful, and to have such a formidable group of subordinates.
Perhaps, there is still hope for my grandfather.
As Ling Yi went upstream, the beast tide was cut off, and the remaining Demonic Beast in Dafeng City were quickly wiped out.
A large-scale invasion of a secret realm seems to have come to an end.
However, Zhao Feng and the others did not let their guard down. Even if the Death God Squad failed, Dafeng City would still face the invasion of Demonic Beast.
But at least now there's a chance to catch our breath.
At this moment, Gu Xue arrived beside Zhao Feng, looking towards the south of the city with a solemn expression.
"What do you think of this Death God Squad?" Zhao Feng asked.
"It's very dangerous."
"It seems we'll need to investigate Wanfu Company after this is over. Hiding such a force must mean they have something to hide."
"These people have a strange Aura. Their Spiritual Power is hidden, making it impossible to discern their cultivation level. Their Spiritual Sense is deeply concealed, Perception undetectable. Their bodies are powerful, yet their Power of Qi and Blood are Perception," Zhao Feng said, frowning.
"What do you want to say?" Gu Xue asked.
"I don't know why, but I Perception a familiar Aura from these people, just like that brat Ling Yi. Could it be that these people have all cultivated Immortal Martial Art?"
"Impossible. Not many people know about the Immortal Martial Art Immortal Martial Art. Only the teachers at the school and Gu Cheng know about it, and they would never leak it."
"What if it's Ling Yi?"
Gu Xue remained silent.
They were unaware of the Spirit Martial Heaven and Earth Art. The Spirit Martial Heaven and Earth Art was a cultivation method known only to the higher-ups of the Heavenly Dao Sect, and only the Heavenly Dao Sect knew about it. The Immortal Martial Art simply did not exist.
The Immortal Martial Art is actually an incomplete Entry version of the Spirit Martial Heaven and Earth Art.
In Gu Xue's opinion, there is a high probability that Ling Yi leaked the Immortal Martial Art.
"Perhaps, Ling Yi was already using the Immortal Martial Art Immortal Martial Art to train these people before he even told the school about it," Gu Xue analyzed.
What was his purpose in doing this?
"Who knows? Besides, this matter may not even be related to Ling Yi."
"Hmph, we'll find out when he gets back and just ask him."
"That kid's acting all mysterious; he doesn't seem like a good person. We should tell Wenwen to stay away from him."
Meanwhile, Ling Yi had already fought his way against the tide and reached the Gate of the Secret Realm.
The Soul Suppression Art targets the soul, employing highly efficient and unpredictable attack methods. Crucially, the soul power consumed can be replenished at any time.
This resulted in Ling Yi and his group arriving at breakneck speed, like a perpetual motion machine.
"Enter the secret realm!"
Without any hesitation, Ling Yi led his hundred-person group and plunged into the Red Serpent's secret realm.
