Return to the Beast Defense Frontier, Beast Tide, High-Level Mortal Beasts
A day later, the familiar chilling atmosphere returned.
Standing atop the high slope, Dongfang Yueming looked down at the towering, massive city wall that seemed to divide heaven and earth— the Beast Defense Frontier! Below the wall, a crowd thronged, including experienced and valiant veterans as well as newcomers whose faces were filled with trepidation and excitement.
Not far away, a group of newlyweds had just stepped off the train that had transported them, looking at this legendary land of blood and fire with curiosity and awe.
"Returning to this familiar place, everything has changed, and the people are gone," Dongfang Yueming thought with a touch of melancholy.
Just then, the earth began to tremble slightly! On the distant horizon, dust billowed, and a violent, bloodthirsty aura surged in like a tidal wave!
"Roar--!!!"
A deafening roar echoed through the sky! The countless black dots rapidly magnified, revealing themselves to be tens of thousands of Mortal Beast, rushing madly towards the Beast Defense Frontier like a black torrent!
"The beast tide is coming!" A piercing alarm sounded from the city wall!
"Prepare for battle!" The experienced veterans quickly got into position, their eyes sharp, and drew their weapons.
The newlyweds who had just gotten off the bus were so frightened by the horrific sight that their faces turned pale, their legs went weak, and many of them couldn't even hold onto their weapons!
"What's the panic! Pick up your weapons! If you want to live, then kill!" a one-armed veteran shouted sternly, his voice carrying the iron-blooded spirit of someone who had been through many battles.
The beast tide drew ever closer, its suffocating pressure almost making it hard to breathe! Especially the few High-Level Mortal Beast charging at the forefront, their enormous size and terrifying aura weighing heavily on the hearts of the defenders on the city wall!
"General!"
With the shouts of the soldiers, two incomparably powerful figures soared into the sky and landed steadily on the crenellations of the city wall! They were the two pillars of the Beast Defense Frontier — the Blood Replacement Realm generals! One of them, with a broad face and a wide mouth, and a beard like a halberd, was none other than Hongxiu's father, "Red-Bearded General" Li Yu! The other general had a fierce face and sharp eyes.
General Li!
General Chen!
Upon seeing the arrival of the two generals, the somewhat chaotic atmosphere on the city wall immediately calmed down.
General Chen's gaze swept over the surging beast tide, his brow furrowing slightly. He thought to himself, "Damn Xi Zhenyue! Of all times, he had to leave at this moment! With him gone, the pressure has increased dramatically. This beast tide will probably be difficult to deal with!"
"Kill--!!!"
At the command of the two generals, the defenders on the city wall surged forth like a flood, colliding violently with the Mortal Beast that charged forward!
Swords flashed and blood flew everywhere! Screams, roars, and the clash of weapons mingled together!
Li Yu and General Chen were not idle either. Each locked onto one of the most powerful High-Level Mortal Beast and charged forward! The terrifying power of the Blood Replacement Realm erupted, tearing apart large numbers of Mortal Beast with every move!
However, just as the two were locked in fierce combat with their respective opponents, from behind the beast tide, another High-Level Mortal Beast, no less impressive in size and even more ferocious in aura, roared and charged out! Its target was the city wall!
"Oh no! There's a third one!"
"How so?!"
The two generals' expressions changed drastically! They were tightly bound by their respective opponents and had no time to spare!
The defenders on the city wall were horrified! A single High-Level Mortal Beast was enough to inflict devastating damage on them!
A martial artist whose aura had reached the Marrow Cleansing Realm stared at the roaring behemoth, his expression shifting uncertainly. "Could it be... that I go in?" His heart was filled with hesitation and fear. High-Level Mortal Beast —that was comparable to the Blood Replacement Realm expert! If he went up, I fear...
The newlyweds were terrified, and many were already considering turning back and running away!
In the chaos, a newcomer saw Dongfang Yueming standing calmly with his hands behind his back and couldn't help but shout in panic, "Hey! What are you standing there for? Run!!"
