From a beggar on South Street to the supreme devil

Chapter 119: City Attack
Jiang Chen left the inner city and quickly passed through the 108 wards of the outer city. He ran along the wilderness between the ward area and the 108 wards of the outer city and quickly rushed towards the outer city wall.

About half an hour later, the tall, dark walls of the outer city came into view.

The city wall is about 15 meters high and 5 meters thick. It is made up of huge black stones.

And as the demons outside the city approached, the warriors inside the city continued to strengthen the city walls, repairing the broken parts that had gradually weathered over the past few decades due to the passage of time.

At this moment, there were many figures standing behind and above the city wall. They were not only the inner disciples of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, but also the Iron Bone and Willow Tendon masters, as well as the Wood Flesh and Bronze Skin warriors from the inner and outer cities.

The Iron Bone Warrior and the Willow Tendon Warrior, as the main force defending the outer city wall, are now standing on top of the wall to guard the city.

The remaining Mu Rou and Bronze Skin Warriors were transporting various supplies for defending the city, such as kerosene that could be ignited and tall trees that had been cut down from the barren mountains behind.

Although these methods are difficult to use against three or four-line demons, they can still cause some damage to a certain extent.

Jiang Chen walked all the way, passing through the crowd.

With light steps, he jumped two or three times on the city wall and easily climbed over the wall which was more than ten feet high.

Afterwards, they found Fu Wen, the warrior who was in charge of guarding the large section of the city wall in the south.

"Brother Fu."

Now on the outer city wall, a Zhuzang warrior is stationed on the wall for about fifty miles.

Under the command of this Zhuzang warrior, thirty or forty Iron-bone warriors were arranged into several teams, and with a group of Willow-muscle warriors, each of them was stationed in a section of the city wall of three to five miles.

The team that Jiang Chen belonged to happened to be under the command of Fu Wen, so he was able to take leave so easily to practice, and postpone his garrison on the outer city wall for more than ten days.

Fu Wen saw him and nodded: "Well, how is your cultivation going?"

“I have made some progress.”

Fu Wen smiled and said, "You have made great progress. I have heard about what happened in the past two days."

"You have passed three trials in a row and passed the ninth Qi power of the Iron Pagoda. Even the elders of the sect think that you will be the next number one in the inner sect."

Jiang Chen was slightly stunned.

Has this matter been spread so widely?

Fu Wen finished speaking, and then his face gradually became serious: "These days, the demons have been attacking the city more and more frequently. A large number of warriors have been killed or injured on the outer city walls, including many inner sect disciples."

"Although your current cultivation strength is quite good, you must not be careless. Just do your best in everything. If you are really unable to defeat the opponent, you can retreat temporarily!"

Jiang Chen is currently a promising candidate for the Dragon Elephant Sect's Dou Kui, so the Dragon and Tiger Sect naturally does not want him to die on the outer city wall.

Fu Wen also knew that in addition to his master, there were two other elders in the sect who also valued Jiang Chen very much.

Jiang Chen nodded: "Okay, I understand."

Fu Wen said, "Okay, then you go ahead."

"Yes."

He bowed and left.

Jiang Chen then walked along the three-meter-wide road on the outer city wall towards the east, passing through the city wall where several teams were stationed.

Jiang Chen glanced around and suddenly noticed a figure leading one of the teams.

He was dressed in spotless white clothes, had a tall and straight figure, a handsome face, a silver sword hanging from his waist, and looked extraordinary.

Jiang Chen recognized this person.

This person is the current top talent of the inner sect of the Dragon and Tiger Sect, Lou Xusheng.

The Iron Bones had reached the perfect state of cultivation. He had already passed the eight trials of the inner sect, with only the last one remaining to be broken through.

Once outside the city, he and others surrounded and killed a demon that had just entered the fifth realm, and cut off its head with his own hands.

Before, Jiang Chen was still at the level of Liu Jin, and when he and Zhao Gaoyang were stationed on the outer city wall,
I once saw this man leading a group of iron-willed disciples returning from hunting monsters outside the city.

Therefore, I now recognize this person's appearance.

Jiang Chen glanced at him without paying any attention and then quickly walked past the team.

……

“Hey, this guy…”

In the team led by Lou Xusheng, there was a disciple with great strength. He noticed Jiang Chen passing by and looked at his back with some curiosity.

"This person is... Jiang Chen?"

He was also a member of the intermediate academy and had witnessed Jiang Chen taking on seven people alone and defeating a group of iron-willed inner disciples, so he recognized Jiang Chen.

Hearing this name, Lou Xusheng and the two or three strong companions beside him all turned their eyes and looked at Jiang Chen's departing back in the distance.

"He is Jiang Chen?"

A young male disciple beside Lou Xusheng asked curiously, "This guy has been in the inner sect for less than three months, but he has already passed three trials and opened up the ninth Qi of the Hun Tie Pagoda?"

"It doesn't look anything special..."

As he spoke, he turned his head casually, looked at Lou Xusheng beside him, and said with a smile:
"Brother Lou, I heard that many people in the inner sect now regard Jiang Chen as a genius on par with you..."

Lou Xusheng looked at Jiang Chen's back, remained silent for a moment, and said nothing.

A female disciple beside him couldn't help but refute: "Brother Lou is such a genius, how could Jiang Chen be his opponent?"

“If Brother Lou hadn’t wanted to pass the ninth test before leaving the inner sect, he would have already broken through to the Zhuzang stage!”

After hearing this, the male disciple scratched his hair in embarrassment and said, "I was just joking."

Lou Xusheng ignored their conversation.

However, just as this female disciple said.

He would have been able to break through to the Zhuan realm long ago, and the reason he has not done so now is to pass the last of the nine trials of the inner sect.

His goal is to surpass Feng Ruxin and enter the Dragon Elephant Gate.

As for other people, they are not within his consideration, and he is confident that he will not be surpassed by others.

When this demonic attack on the city is over, he will be able to pass the ninth test and enter the Zhuan realm.

Once you enter Zhuzang, you will be considered to have left the inner sect. At that time, the title of the inner sect's first genius can be given to others...

Lou Xusheng retracted his gaze and said calmly:

"Stop talking, everyone disperse. It's almost night, and the demons may come again at any time. Get ready."...

"Senior Brother Lu."

Jiang Chen walked for a while and finally found Lu Yan and others.

The troops stationed in the outer city this round will generally not be rearranged unless the original troops suffer too many casualties.

Therefore, Jiang Chen was still stationed at the city wall this time together with Lu Yan, Bian Hong, Tao Shuang, Zhao Gaoyang and others.

When Lu Yan heard his voice, he turned around and nodded towards him, and said with a somewhat stiff expression:
"Jiang Chen, you're here."

"Yes."

Jiang Chen nodded, noticing that something seemed amiss with Lu Yan's expression.

Then he looked around.

I saw that out of the original eight iron-boned disciples in the team, two were missing, and the remaining ones all had silent expressions on their faces.

The atmosphere was depressing and gloomy.

Tao Shuang's eyes were a little red, while Zhao Gaoyang stood in the corner silently, no longer chattering and leisurely as before.

"This is……"

Jiang Chen frowned slowly.

"Where are Bian Hong and Qiu Ze?"

Qiu Ze was a tough disciple in the original team, but now, like Bian Hong, he is nowhere to be seen.

Tao Shuang said in a low voice: "Bian Hong was ambushed by a four-striped demon two days ago..."

"And when Qiu Ze was there yesterday, there were too many demons coming and we had no time to take care of them, so..."

In just two days, two people from the eight-man Iron Bone team had been killed or injured, and the Liujin warriors below were likely to have suffered even more casualties.

This is enough to show how fierce the demons' attack on the city was.

After Tao Shuang finished speaking, she lowered her head silently and stopped talking.

Tao Shuang and Bian Hong entered the inner gate at about the same time. They had been friends for many years. Now that Bian Hong was dead, she was naturally extremely sad.

Jiang Chen was slightly silent.

Are you dead...?

After all, they were familiar with each other, and Jiang Chen couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

At the same time, I became more alert.

The next garrison must not be taken lightly.

……

Two days later.

evening.

The afterglow of the setting sun illuminates the distant mountains.

Among the lush and tall trees, under the large shadows, a pair of cold and fierce eyes were staring at the tall walls of the outer city.

"Roar!"

A ferocious howl, like a charge horn, echoed throughout the vast mountains and forests outside the city!

Under the shadow of the lush woods, tall, ferocious, and icy demons quickly rushed towards the city wall!
"The demon is coming!"

Lu Yan shouted loudly,
"Everyone is ready!"

All the warriors perked up. Even Tao Shuang, who had been immersed in sorrow before, now looked sober. He clutched the sword in his hand and stared closely at the demon below.

Sadness has no meaning at this moment, only anger and murderous intent have meaning.

Between warriors and demons, it's either you die or I die!
Subsequently.

The Liujin warrior stationed on this section of the city wall picked up a large piece of rolling log and thunder stone, lit kerosene on it, and smashed it directly downwards!

Each of these rolling logs and boulders weighs thousands of pounds. When they fall from the city wall which is more than ten feet high, the power is quite powerful. Coupled with the burning kerosene, they can also kill some two-pattern demons.

However, these ordinary methods are ultimately unable to stop the demons.

After these things killed dozens of demons, the first demon broke through the defense line, climbed onto the outer city wall, and started fighting with the Liujin warrior on the wall.

If there is one, then there are two.

Soon, a large number of demons climbed onto the city wall and fought with nearly a hundred Liujin warriors stationed on the wall.

"Too much……"

Lu Yan killed a two-patterned demon with one sword, and looked at the bottom of the city wall. There were still a large number of demons rushing towards the city wall, and his face was a little stiff.

The other iron-boned warriors on the city wall were also engaged in a tough battle.

"If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold on..."

He reached to his waist and took out a firework.

"There's nothing I can do. I can only ask for help..."

If there are too many monsters and the warriors on the city wall cannot hold on, they can set off fireworks and ask for help from other teams.

Fu Wen, who controls this section of the city wall, will come to support after seeing this.

Lu Yan was just about to pull down the fireworks.

At this moment, he suddenly saw a figure out of the corner of his eye, which seemed to have turned into a dark dragon, quickly moving across the city wall, wantonly slaughtering the demons on the wall.

Lu Yan paused slightly.

"Jiang Chen?"
