The Unknown Was What Inspired the Greatest Fear!
Black Iron Bear was the first to stand up straight, a bloodthirsty excitement flashing in his eyes.
"There's only one person with the cultivation level of Grandmaster!"
The fourth-tier Tiger King glanced at Lu Feng's aura, his tone nonchalant.
"Send up first and second-tier troops to slowly wear him down. There's no rush!"
Upon hearing this, the Profound Water Crocodile raised its claw and casually swung it.
More than two hundred first and second-tier demonic beasts broke away from the herd and surged toward Lu Feng.
The remaining demonic beasts remained where they were, all eyes fixed on how Lu Feng would be dragged to his death.
Seeing the horde of demonic beasts approaching, Lu Feng dared not be careless.
He instantly activated his True Essence Protection, drew his Ink-Sunken Saber, and with a hum, charged towards the beast tide.
The first horizontal slash cleanly severed the seven or eight pig demons charging at the front.
Then, with a diagonal slash, the two monkey demons that had pounced into the air were split in two from shoulder to hip.
With another swift turn of his sword, Lu Feng spun 360 degrees through the horde of beasts, and all the monsters within a two-zhang radius fell to the ground.
As the blade flashed and fell, limbs and blood splattered everywhere, and system notifications kept ringing in his mind.
[Ding! Successfully slayed a Tier 1 boar demon, gaining 1000 Demon Points;]
[Ding! Successfully slayed a Tier 2 wolf demon, gaining 10,000 Demon Points;]
In just a few breaths, more than two hundred demonic beasts were killed.
Lu Feng stepped out from under the carcasses of beasts scattered on the ground. Taking advantage of the gap before the following monsters pounced on him, he flashed and arrived at the closing gate of the fourth entrance.
He gripped the sword with both hands and swung it forcefully at the line of demonic beasts surging into the gate, cleaving the dozen or so at the front in half.
The corpses blocked the narrow entrance, halting the advance of the monsters behind them.
"Third Brother! This person is blocking the entrance! The demons can't get through!"
Profound Water Crocodile's expression changed slightly, and he turned to look at the fourth-tier Tiger King.
The Tiger King narrowed his eyes and stared at the human figure blocking the pass for a moment.
Two hundred isn't enough, then two thousand will do.
It turned to the Profound Water Crocodile and ordered, "Go and lure him away. After you've lured him away, send two thousand demonic beasts to surround him completely."
"Third Brother, let me go! I'll definitely take down this human for you!"
Black Iron Bear finally couldn't hold back and spoke.
"If you go up there and slap him to death, how will Third Brother be able to watch the show?"
The Profound Water Crocodile glanced at it sideways, its tone tinged with a hint of mockery.
Before Black Iron Bear could argue any further, it had already leaped down the slope and pounced towards Lu Feng's direction.
Lu Feng was guarding the entrance when he caught a huge gray shadow looming down from the side and above in his peripheral vision.
Lu Feng swung his sword to meet the attack, Ink-Sunken Saber, imbued with True Essence, collided head-on with the gray figure in mid-air.
"Boom!"
A dull, loud thud.
Lu Feng took a half step back, and two shallow grooves were trampled into the soil beneath his feet.
The Profound Water Crocodile was thrown back several meters by the shock, its feet carving two deep furrows in the ground before it finally came to a stop.
It glanced down at its numb right hand, a look of disbelief flashing in its vertical pupils.
"That's some real strength."
Lu Feng did not pursue.
The arrival of the Profound Water Crocodile forced him to distract himself from dealing with it.
If he continues to defend the entrance, he will have to withstand the onslaught of the monster horde from the front and guard against the sneak attacks of the Profound Water Crocodile from the side, which is tantamount to turning himself into a sitting duck.
Although his physical body was tough enough that these demonic beasts couldn't harm him, the consumption of his True Essence would increase exponentially.
There are tens of thousands of beasts here, and more than a dozen fourth-tier Demon King are also eyeing them covetously.
Although he knew it was extremely dangerous to stay here, Lu Feng did not retreat.
Once the entrance is opened, the monsters will flood in again.
It's unclear how much longer the garrison inside can hold out.
Seeing that Lu Feng remained rooted to the spot at the entrance, the Profound Water Crocodile's anger intensified.
It braced itself on the ground with both hands, and its entire body sprang up, transforming itself in mid-air.
His hands, which were already covered in scales, were completely transformed into two enormous crocodile paws.
It opened its blood-red maw and bit down on Lu Feng's Ink-Sunken Saber.
Death Roll.
The enormous body of the Profound Water Crocodile spun wildly in mid-air.
Lu Feng was lifted off the ground by this force, and his whole body spun around in the air several times.
For an ordinary Grandmaster, such a bite and twist could break a wrist at best, or even shred the entire arm at worst.
However, Lu Feng's Immeasurable Golden Body Art combined with the third level of the Hundred Beasts Body Tempering Art makes his physical strength far exceed that of others of the same level.
Lu Feng used the momentum to adjust his body in mid-air, dissipating most of the force in the instant he was thrown out. When he landed, he only took a few steps back and was completely unharmed.
"Third Brother! The Profound Water Crocodile doesn't seem to be able to handle that human! I'm going to help it!"
Not far away, Black Iron Bear watched with an irresistible itch, wishing he could rush down and fight immediately.
"No rush. Wait a little longer."
The fourth-tier Tiger King remained half-reclined, its eyes fixed on the battle before the pass as if watching a show.
Black Iron Bear sighed and could only continue looking down.
It didn't understand why its third brother had to wait.
In its view, a dozen or so fourth-tier Demon King attacking together could tear that human to shreds in a single round.
But its third brother was always smarter than it, so even though it didn't understand, it had no choice but to endure it.
Meanwhile, inside the fourth entrance gate.
Two Hua Jin Perfection are struggling to hold on the city wall.
The passage inside the pass was already piled with the corpses of monsters, and the monsters behind continued to push forward, stepping over the remains of their companions.
"Brother Yu! Hang in there a little longer! Reinforcements will be here soon!"
The Jin-surnamed disciple from the Headquarters Demon-Slaying Bureau swung his sword, slashing back a second-tier wolf demon in front of him, and then turned back to shout to Yu Wei, who was not far away.
Yu Wei nodded, gripped his sword with both hands, and slashed down forcefully, forcing the monster in front of him back two steps.
He took the opportunity to glance back at his team.
Of the original twenty-person team, only six are still standing.
Four Nei Jin and two Ming Jin.
All six men were injured, two of them with injuries to their legs, so they could barely stand and could only lean against the wall and grit their teeth to hold on.
The remaining four people had to work together to barely defeat a second-tier demonic beast.
Yu Wei withdrew his gaze and tightened his grip on the knife.
Yu Wei glanced towards the direction beyond the pass, his eyes filled with despair.
He believed that reinforcements would arrive.
But he didn't know if he could hold on until that moment.
The Nei Jin within the body has been largely depleted, and the power flowing through the meridians is becoming increasingly thin.
More than an hour has passed since the monsters launched their attack.
He and the young man surnamed Jin led their 20-person team to kill over a thousand first- and second-tier demonic beasts.
The corpses were piled up layer upon layer, and the blood at your feet was ankle-deep.
But the monsters kept coming in droves.
Kill one batch, and another batch comes.
The unknown is what's most frightening.
You don't know how many more are out there, or whether the next wave will suddenly produce a third or even fourth-tier Demon King.
Yu Wei took out a Jin Recovery Pill from his storage bag and put it in his mouth.
As the pill entered his throat, a warm power spread through his dantian, barely replenishing some of his depleted Nei Jin.
He took a deep breath and swung his sword again at the surging monsters.
The blade sliced into the neck of a boar demon, spraying blood all over his face, but he didn't even bother to wipe it away.
