Chapter 899 Beast Tide Attacks the City?

In the air, the two students, who had just experienced a freefall from a height of one thousand meters to one hundred meters, forcibly calmed their panicked emotions and immediately entered into meditation again.

But while they were meditating and cultivating, Jiang Ming and the Snow Emperor sitting on his shoulder looked towards the far north not far away!
"What's going on?"

Jiang Ming frowned slightly and said with some doubt.

Xue Di shook her head and said, "Atai must have given a warning. This kind of thing shouldn't happen under normal circumstances. Perhaps there's some unexpected reason involved."

Hearing this, Jiang Ming nodded, glanced at the two students in front of him who were still diligently cultivating, and a wisp of energy shot out from his fingertip, splitting into two strands that entered the two students respectively.

The next second, the auras emanating from the two of them suddenly surged!
The cultivation level that would normally take some time to break through was directly achieved under the pull of this aura!

Moreover, it was a breakthrough without any aftereffects whatsoever!
Jiang Ming then led the two students to the playground below.

Seeing the students around him looking at him like he was a devil, Jiang Ming raised an eyebrow and said, "Alright, my class is over. Go and rest."

Upon hearing this, the trainees couldn't help but want to cheer, but given that Jiang Ming was watching, they dared not make such a move.

Several trainees even showed regret on their faces.

Although Jiang Ming had given them a great shock during that short class period.

However, the improvement in their cultivation level is also enormous!
It even strengthened their willpower.

Overcoming fear is something not every teacher teaches.

Jiang Ming's teaching method is a bit unconventional, but it's not without its benefits.

"Jiang Ming, I sense something from the far north."

Zhang Lexuan walked up to Jiang Ming and said earnestly.

Jiang Ming nodded slightly and said, "I sensed it. Let's go take a look."

As he spoke, Jiang Ming looked at Aunt Lan beside him and said softly, "Aunt Lan, why don't you take these students back to the classroom first? My teaching methods might have left some psychological scars on them. Could you give them some psychological counseling? Sister Lexuan and I will go back first."

The next second, Jiang Ming and Zhang Lexuan and the other women disappeared from everyone's sight.

This startled the trainees again.

Seeing this, Aunt Lan could only take the students back to the classroom and prepare to offer them some psychological comfort.

She had just seen Jiang Ming's teaching style, to be honest.
That's Jiang Ming for you. If it were any other teacher teaching like this, she would definitely start yelling at them right away!
Meanwhile, after leaving the Qingshui City Advanced Soul Master Academy, Jiang Ming and Zhang Lexuan did not return to the City Lord's Mansion, but instead went to the North Gate of Qingshui City!

Compared to the south gate, the north gate of Qingshui City is close to the edge of the far north, and is equipped with a large number of soul tools to guard against possible attacks from soul beasts.

In fact, half of the entire Qingshui City's military force was stationed at the North Gate.

On the other side, at the West Gate, which corresponds to the city of the Sun and Moon Empire, the level of defense required is no less than that here.

Meanwhile, although the soldiers at the north gate of Qingshui City were all in good spirits, they were actually quite lax.

If ten years ago, Qingshui City was frequently attacked and harassed by soul beasts from the far north, then after Qingshui City developed, the north gate of Qingshui City has almost never encountered soul beasts from the far north attacking the city.

Especially in recent years, with the continuous strengthening of the defenses of Qingshui City and the continuous deployment of various offensive and defensive soul tools, the defensive line of the north city wall of Qingshui City has become an incomparably solid barrier.

With the continuous strengthening of this defensive strength, coupled with the fact that almost no Soul Masters have attacked Qingshui City in the far north in recent years, the warriors on the north gate naturally became complacent.

In this relaxed state, a chaotic, booming sound came from the far north, growing louder as it approached.

Rumble!
Rumble!
The earth was shaking. At first, the people on the north city wall could not feel it, but the soul-guiding devices installed on the north city wall had already issued a warning.

The alarm was so piercing that it immediately woke up the guards on the city wall.

After a brief period of panic, all the soldiers on the city wall immediately went into battle ready.

The soldier in charge of communications immediately notified the city lord, Nie Heng.

With Nie Heng's current cultivation level of an eight-ring Soul Douluo, he appeared on the city wall in just a few minutes.

Jiang Ming, Zhang Lexuan, and the others had already arrived here.

"Xiaoming, what's going on?"

Nie Heng strode over to Jiang Ming's side and asked in a deep voice.

Jiang Ming said in a deep voice, "It seems that the soul beasts from the far north have gathered a beast tide to attack Qingshui City, and judging from this force, there are at least a thousand soul beasts."

With Jiang Ming's ability to sense auras, even though the soul beast tide was still far away, he could roughly judge the number of these soul beasts.

"How could there be over a thousand soul beasts! The far north hasn't seen a beast tide of this size for over a decade. How could this happen so suddenly?"

Nie Heng frowned, his eyes filled with doubt.

In fact, it wasn't just the soldiers on the city walls who were lax; Nie Heng, the city lord, had also become somewhat lax in recent years.

After all, it's a fact that the far north hasn't attacked Qingshui City for ten years.

"Let's see how it goes. There seems to be something strange going on."

Jiang Ming and Xue Di were also quite puzzled.

When the Snow Empress summoned powerful soul beasts from the entire far north to hold a meeting deep within the far north, Jiang Ming instructed her to tell the soul beasts of the far north not to approach Clear Water City.

This is not only good for Qingshui City, but also for the soul beasts of the far north.

After all, with the support of a large number of soul tools in Qingshui City, it would be tantamount to suicide for ordinary soul beasts to harass Qingshui City.

Even with the current defensive capabilities of Qingshui City, it can withstand any attack unless a 100,000-year-old soul beast personally attacks the city!

The 100,000-year-old soul beast must have been warned by the Snow Empress.

Even for the lower-level soul beasts, Titan Snow Demon King must have given orders.

But now, the beast tide has still appeared here.

There's definitely something strange going on inside!
The rumbling vibrations grew louder and louder, and the wind and snow brought by the beast tide rushed towards them. The soul beasts that were faintly emerging in the wind and snow were about to rush to the front of Clear Water City.

Although Nie Heng didn't understand why the soul beasts in the far north would suddenly gather into a beast tide to attack Qingshui City, he knew that they had to fight now!

"Everyone, prepare! First round of fixed-load soul-guided shells, calibrate targets!"

If it were more than ten years ago, it would have been impossible for Qingshui City to use fixed-mount soul-guided cannons for the first round of bombardment, because that would have been a waste of money!

Each fixed-mount soul-guided shell needs to be fired at a critical moment.

At other times, it is clear that soldiers' lives must be used to fill the gaps.

But now, things are completely different.

In the tactics of Qingshui City, putting everything else aside, the first round is to use fixed-position soul-guided cannon shells to bombard the ground!
The beast tide surged in, with a very high density. The effect of these fixed-position soul-guided shells hitting the ground was simply amazing!
"and many more."

Just as Nie Heng was about to launch a fixed-position soul-guided cannon for a saturation attack, Jiang Ming stopped him.

"Old Nie, something's fishy here. I'll go check it out." With that, Jiang Ming's figure vanished from the spot, and in a few flashes, he appeared at the forefront of the beast tide!

Facing the surging beast tide that seemed to collapse like a mountain, Jiang Ming's eyes remained calm.

He just stood there, not even making a move.

It was Xue Di, who was on Jiang Ming's shoulder, who made the move.

Xue Di quietly stood up from Jiang Ming's shoulder, her small figure flying towards the beast tide, forming a stark contrast with the extremely violent beast tide!

As the Snow Empress moved, her voice grew rapidly amidst the wind and snow.

Soon, Xue Di's true form appeared.

"Stop!"

Xue Di looked at the beast tide in front of her and said in a deep voice.

At the same time, the terrifying aura belonging to the Ice and Snow Emperor erupted instantly!
Although she is now Jiang Ming's soul spirit, because Jiang Ming's strength has now reached the pinnacle of the human realm, Xue Di's strength as Jiang Ming's soul spirit is actually even stronger than before!
In an instant, the powerful pressure of the Ice and Snow Emperor swept directly over the surging beast tide.

Amidst the wind and snow, the soul beasts running at the forefront were the first to sense the Snow Empress's aura.

The soul beast at the very front was terrified!
He braked suddenly, but the soul beasts behind him kept charging towards the first row, making it impossible for them to stop.

But soon, the Snow Emperor's oppressive aura enveloped the entire beast tide.

All the soul beasts frantically tried to brake, and one by one, they were knocked away by the soul beasts in front and behind them because they couldn't stop in time or managed to stop.

The place where the leading soul beast stopped was less than three meters away from where Jiang Ming was standing!

Soon, the entire beast tide was forcibly stopped by the Snow Empress's oppressive aura.

All the spirit beasts lay prostrate on the snow, their bodies trembling uncontrollably.

They had no idea why their supreme ruler in the far north would appear in this remote area.

But this did not prevent them from bowing down to the supreme ruler after feeling this terrifying pressure.

The Qingshui City garrison standing on the city wall stared wide-eyed at this sight!
"What...what's going on?"

"Good heavens, the beast tide was actually stopped abruptly?"

"Are you kidding me! This is a beast tide!"

"Is the young city lord really that powerful? He just stands there and he can stop the entire beast tide from advancing an inch?"

"Just how strong is the young city lord now?!"

On the city wall, there was much discussion, but only Nie Heng knew that it was not the beast tide that Jiang Ming had stopped, but the Snow Emperor!

In the face of the Ice and Snow Empress, unless the other two great kings join forces to launch a beast tide, it is not surprising at all that the Snow Empress can easily stop it.

Of course, Jiang Ming, who can control the Ice and Snow Emperor, is definitely more powerful.

"Come out and see me, the Emperor!"

Xue Di looked towards the very back of the beast tide.

A beast tide, especially one with thousands of soul beasts, must be under the control of a powerful soul beast.

At this scale, there must be at least one ten-thousand-year-old soul beast!

As Xue Di's voice reached the rear, a snow-white ape emerged from behind the beast tide.

"The Snow Spirit Ape?"

When Xue Di saw that the spirit beast that had appeared was this spirit beast, she frowned slightly.

The Snow Spirit Ape is a rare and highly intelligent soul beast found only in the far north.

These soul beasts generally live in the inner area of ​​the far north. Although they cannot enter the core area of ​​the far north, they are social soul beasts, so even 100,000-year-old soul beasts will not easily provoke them.

Upon arriving before the Snow Emperor, the Snow Spirit Ape bowed slightly in greeting.

"Snow Emperor."

Hearing the Snow Spirit Ape speak in human language, Jiang Ming raised an eyebrow slightly.

This Snow Spirit Ape's cultivation level was clearly less than 100,000 years, yet it could speak human language directly, which obviously indicated that it had some special characteristics.

"I remember when I returned last time, I told the soul beasts of the far north not to attack Clearwater City. Did you take my words as a joke?!"

A sharp and terrifying chill flashed in Xue Di's eyes.

If this Snow Spirit Ape truly disregarded her words, she would show absolutely no mercy and kill it outright!
As the ruler of the far north, even though he has now left the far north, he will never allow such an existence that defies his will.

The Snow Spirit Ape sensed the Snow Emperor's sharp chill and immediately knelt down.

"Snow Empress, I didn't want to come to Clearwater City either, but my people, and many cubs from other races, have been captured by those despicable humans! I saw the insignia of the Clearwater City garrison on those humans, which is why I launched the beast tide to rescue our people!"

Its voice was extremely mournful, as if it was suppressing an extremely turbulent emotion.

"what?!"

Xue Di's eyes suddenly narrowed!
Upon hearing this, Jiang Ming's brows furrowed sharply.

"Qingshui City captured your cubs?"

He did not directly refute the words of the Snow Spirit Ape. After all, these soul beasts dared to risk defying the Snow Emperor's orders and launch a beast tide to attack Clear Water City, so there must have been a reason.

But he also knew that it was almost impossible for Qingshui City to do such a thing.

"Damn humans!"

The Snow Spirit Ape stared at Jiang Ming with hatred in its eyes. Of its entire clan, only a small number of its members had survived; the rest had either been killed or captured.

"Calm down first, Xue'er. You should find out more about the situation first. I'll go back and ask Lao Nie!"

This is no small matter.

He had previously instructed Lao Nie that once Qingshui City developed, it was absolutely forbidden to launch a large-scale campaign to exterminate the soul beasts of the far north.

The Snow Empress restrained the soul beasts of the far north, so naturally he also had to restrain the humans, otherwise it would embarrass the Snow Empress.

Soon, Jiang Ming returned to the city wall and asked Lao Nie about the situation.

Upon hearing Jiang Ming's explanation, Nie Heng's face was filled with confusion and doubt.

"Slaughtering soul beasts from the far north and capturing soul beast cubs? Clearwater City could only achieve this level of capability if I personally mobilized the defense forces. But I haven't mobilized any defense forces into the far north at all!"
