Repelling the Enemy

"Pfft!" A mouthful of blood spurted out instantly.

Lu Feng felt as if his body had been smashed to pieces.

The physical pain, combined with the pain in his internal acupoints, made Lu Feng's face turn deathly pale. He was temporarily unable to fight anymore.

Meanwhile, as Hu Xiaotian dispersed the illusions and was struck by several Sword Qi, his reversed True Essence was also absorbed.

"You are the most talented human I have ever seen! You survived two moves after I transformed into my beast form!"

"If I kill you, what does Shangyang Town matter!"

At this moment, Hu Xiaotian looked at the dying Lu Feng and spoke.

The early-stage Grandmaster Lu Feng before him was far stronger than any human Grandmaster he had ever seen before.

Seeing that the genius was about to die at his hands, Hu Xiaotian felt a surge of pleasure.

Just then, the giant white tiger, which was ten feet in size, slowly shrank and eventually became White-Foreheaded Tiger that was only one foot in size.

"What's going on? How did I turn back?"

"Huh! Why can't I activate my True Essence?!"

"Could it be you? What methods did you use?"

Hu Xiaotian's eyes shifted from a sense of complete control to surprise, and then to terror.

"Haha! You only just realized it? Too late! Prepare to die!"

Upon hearing Hu Xiaofeng's words, Lu Feng, who was lying on the ground, struggled to his feet with his sword.

He then wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with his hand.

"Today I will kill the emperor!"

After saying that, Lu Feng once again activated his True Essence and unleashed the Phantom Sword Art.

In the distance, Hu Xiaotian was shocked to see that Lu Feng could still use his True Essence. He turned around and ran desperately towards the Canglan City.

If it cannot use its True Essence, it might not be able to withstand Lu Feng's Sword Intent with its physical body alone.

Hu Xiaotian ran and ran until he had run several miles and saw that Lu Feng was not chasing him, then he stopped.

"Could that person be at his last gasp? Should we go back and check on him?"

There were still thousands of demonic beasts in the city. Although Hu Xiaotian killed thousands of them in two moves, these demonic beasts dared not disobey Hu Xiaotian's orders.

Unfortunately, he couldn't activate his True Essence at the time, and when he saw that Lu Feng could activate his True Essence, Hu Xiaotian really panicked.

At the time, all I wanted was to escape, and I had no intention of testing whether it was true or not.

"Forget it, this kid is quite capable, he might have other tricks up his sleeve. Anyway, he has a bloodstain, so we won't hear from him for at least another half month!"

"I will kill him after I recover my True Essence!"

Hu Xiaotian then found a secluded spot to begin recovering his True Essence.

According to its guess, it would only take half an hour for the body's True Essence to be replenished.

Meanwhile, Canglan City, Lu Feng saw Hu Xiaotian leave in a panic. Once he could no longer see Hu Xiaotian's figure, he could no longer hold on and collapsed heavily to the ground.

At that moment, he felt excruciating pain all over his body, and no part of it felt like his own.

Just as he was about to close his eyes and rest, he saw several demonic beast faces.

Only then did Lu Feng remember that there were still thousands of demonic beasts in Canglan City.

In his current state, it's impossible for him to kill those monstrous beasts.

"I can't die here! I can't die in the mouths of these monsters!"

The thought of being devoured piece by piece by the monster gave Lu Feng a surge of strength, which he didn't know he possessed, and he stood up again.

At this time, the effects of the Essence-Reversing Pill had not yet worn off, and Lu Feng prepared to leave Canglan City to find a secluded place to see if he could resolve the side effects of the Essence-Reversing Pill.

Otherwise, once Hu Xiaotian recovers his True Essence and comes looking for him, he will also be unable to escape death.

Despite the excruciating pain, Lu Feng once again channeled his True Essence, unleashing several Sword Qi.

[Successfully slayed a second-tier bull demon, gaining 10,000 Demon Points;]

[Successfully slayed a second-tier wolf demon, gaining 10,000 Demon Points;]

Sword Qi swept across, dozens of demonic beasts were instantly Sword Qi without any chance to resist.

Without Hu Xiaotian's intervention, the demonic beasts dared not approach.

Just as Lu Feng was about to leave Canglan City, he suddenly saw that he had crashed into several houses when he was knocked away by Hu Xiaotian.

One of the houses revealed a secret passage.

The entrance to the secret passage was now covered by several large rocks, but fortunately it wasn't completely blocked.

"There's hope!"

Looking at the hidden passage, a faint smile finally appeared on Lu Feng's pale face. Although the smile aggravated his wounds, the pain was nothing to him.

Lu Feng then endured the excruciating pain and entered the secret passage.

With a swing of his longsword, he sent the boulder flying.

Then he went inside.

The passageway was small and dark, only large enough for one person to pass through.

Lu Feng took a few steps, then turned around, activated his True Essence, drew his Ink-Sunken Saber, and swung it forward several times.

In an instant, countless rocks fell from the cave entrance, completely sealing it off.

Lu Feng knelt on the ground, panting heavily.

After resting for a while, Lu Feng endured the excruciating pain and stood up, walking towards the front of the secret passage.

Meanwhile, Shouyun City.

Dozens of Fifth-Tier Demon Lord are attacking the city's protective formation.

These attacks landed on the great formation, creating ripples, but they did not shake the formation.

"It's been so long, why hasn't Lord Tiger returned yet?"

A fifth-tier tiger demon with a crimson tiger head and a human body spoke.

Upon hearing this, not a single demon responded.

This fifth-tier Scarlet Flame Tiger was Hu Xiaotian's confidant; how could the other Demon Lord dare to interrupt?

Without Hu Xiaotian, this city-protecting formation cannot be broken in the short term!

Given Hu Xiaotian's strength, it's impossible that he hasn't been able to kill a mere Early Grandmaster after so long.

Just then, the Scarlet Flame Tiger Lord suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Oh no! The Blood Demon Talisman has shattered, Shangyang Town has been occupied!"

Among all the demons, only the Scarlet Flame Tiger Lord was rewarded with the Blood Demon Talisman by Hu Xiaotian.

The demons' expressions changed drastically upon hearing this.

"Let's go! Quickly back to Shangyang Town! The Demon Emperor might have already gone back!"

Although they came with Hu Xiaotian, if Shangyang Town were to fall, no one could guarantee that Hu Xiaotian would pull out a few people to take the blame.

In Shouyun City, the three Great Grandmaster, Guan Shanhai, and others, were channeling their True Essence into the great formation.

"All the demonic beasts are gone! What happened?" a Grandmaster asked.

Just then, Guan Shanhai's token vibrated.

Guan Shanhai picked up the token; it was a message from Wu Qingfeng.

"Great! Si Zheng and his men have captured Shangyang Town and are currently repairing the barrier!"

The three of them immediately beamed with joy.

Guan Shanhai bit his fingertip, forcing out dozens of drops of blood essence. Each drop of blood essence then transformed into a character that appeared on the token.

"I've already sent out the news that all the fifth-tier demonic beasts have left; I think Si Zheng and the others should be well-prepared for defense!"

Having done all this, Guan Shanhai's Bento Formation was deactivated.

When the demonic beasts left and the great formation closed, the people in the city showed different kinds of joy on their faces.

Some people even shouted loudly.

"We held on! We held on!"

Lu Shuang and the others, who were organizing the evacuation, relaxed upon seeing this scene.

"Jiang Han, Lin Jingfeng, there's something I'd like to ask you two for help with!"

Seeing that the crisis had passed, Lu Shuang spoke to the two of them with a serious expression.

"Miss Lu, what are you doing!"

Seeing Lu Shuang's expression, the two realized the seriousness of the matter and dared not agree for a moment. Jiang Han could only ask her to explain the situation first.
