I create patterns, regardless of your level of expertise.

"A joke? I'm not joking with you."

"I'm not asking you to come with me; I can go by myself."

As Li Hao spoke, he prepared to shake off Chu Baisheng, but at that moment Zhong Changhong stood up and blocked the doorway.

"Nonsense! We know you have an extraordinary background and are quite capable, but that's the heart of the demon realm!"

"Even now, a steady stream of demons is still rushing in through the breach in the barrier between the two worlds; there are at least five known demon gods alone."

"If you venture deeper and are surrounded by those five demon gods, what will happen?"

Although Zhong Changhong's tone was unpleasant, Li Hao knew he was concerned about him and didn't take it to heart.

So what if there are five demon gods? Dare to mess with him, and he'll spill your blood pool!

Just as he was about to speak, the ground suddenly trembled violently!

Then, a loud bell rang out, its sound resounding throughout the city.

Zhong Changhong and Chu Baisheng's expressions darkened. They immediately disregarded Li Hao and went outside. Then, in a flash, they walked up to the city wall.

Li Hao, seeing this with curiosity, also came out.

The city, which had been peaceful and stable, suddenly became bustling.

Gao Yuanfan and Bai Yuyan arrived at Li Hao's side immediately.

"What's wrong?" Gao Yuanfan asked.

Li Hao didn't know either, and immediately set off to fly to the city wall to take a look.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

People were surging into the city like a tidal wave; the phrase "a sea of ​​people" was no longer an exaggeration, but a realistic metaphor.

These people were all deathly pale, with bloodshot eyes, showing no trace of human dignity, only the ferocity of wild beasts.

They rushed down to the city walls and, without saying a word, immediately detonated themselves.

This playing style looks somewhat familiar.

"What are they doing?" Li Hao couldn't help but ask.

Beside him, Chu Baisheng, his face grim, explained, "This is a siege."

"Attack the city?" Li Hao asked in confusion, then reached out his hand.

Before the hand could fully extend out of the city, it bumped into an invisible barrier.

The grand defensive formation protecting the entire city had already been activated as soon as signs of an attack were discovered, creating an invisible barrier around the city.

The countless self-destructions outside couldn't damage this barrier in the slightest.

"What kind of siege is this? Isn't this just suicide?"

"And so, these are demons? They look exactly like humans!"

Chu Baisheng's lips twitched slightly as he said, "They are human, but they were controlled by the Corpse Demon God after they died."

"And look over there."

Li Hao looked in the direction he was pointing. It was a corner of the city wall. After many people had sacrificed themselves, a dark purple color was faintly spreading on the barrier erected by the great formation.

However, before these dark purple things could spread too much, they were cleared away by the formation itself.

"What is that?" Li Hao asked.

Zhong Changhong quickly explained, "It's a kind of poison. Although it won't fundamentally damage the great formation, removing it will require a lot of spiritual energy."

"What we lack now is spiritual power."

The spiritual energy of the entire Western Continent has been polluted and is unusable, so when these two martial gods are not in battle, their auras are completely sealed, just like ordinary people.

Chu Baisheng added, "The demons are using this to deplete our spiritual energy. They launch these sieges every few days. When our spiritual energy supply can no longer keep up, that will be the time for their final attack."

Li Hao then understood, and asked, "Then why don't you take the initiative to go out and deal with these corpse puppets? With your level of cultivation, you could easily wipe out a large number of corpse puppets with a single strike, without them even having a chance to hit the array barrier."

Chu Baisheng sighed and said, "Because it's not worth it."

"Currently, only the two of us Martial Gods are holding on here. Although we have already sought help from those reclusive forces with Martial God realm members, they have not sent anyone over yet."

"On the other hand, the demon race already has five known demon gods."

"The two of us can hold out in the city thanks to the power of the formation, but if we go out, we will surely be surrounded."

"If we die, this city won't survive either."

They know they're being slowly but surely cut into their flesh, but they have no choice but to endure it; this is the best-case scenario they can hope for.

If there's any good news, it's that the medicine tower is supplying medicine at any cost, and they can hold on for the time being.

Li Hao was truly amazed. Before coming here, he thought there would be fighting every day, but it turned out to be a tug-of-war like this.

"Okay... then open the door for me, I need to get out."

Chu Baisheng: ? ? ?

Dude, I just told you there are five demon gods waiting outside. Even if the Shadow Demon God is temporarily out of combat power, there are still four left. Are you still going out?!

Seeing Chu Baisheng's extremely surprised face, Li Hao was stunned for a moment, then said, "Oh, you're afraid I'll die out there and the deal won't be completed, right?"

"That's alright, you can have it directly."

Li Hao handed the Lower Realm Alloy Sword directly to Zhong Changhong, who was also stunned.

Li Hao said to Zhong Changhong, "From now on, this sword is yours. If I don't see the Chaotic Yellow Earth in the future, then I will take it back."

They weren't afraid of Zhong Changhong defaulting on his debts; there shouldn't be anyone in the world who could default on his debts.

"Okay, open the door," Li Hao urged.

The two looked at each other for a moment, and finally sighed.

There's nothing they can do but try to reason with a damned devil. They've already explained the situation to him, but he still insists on going out to his death, so there's nothing they can do.

"Then it's up to you."

After Chu Baisheng finished speaking, he made a gesture, and a gap immediately appeared in the barrier in front of them.

Seizing the opportunity, Li Hao grabbed Gao Yuanfan and crawled out.

After they came out, the stench of the polluted spiritual energy suddenly became a hundred times stronger. Li Hao took a sniff and almost vomited.

Fortunately, absorbing this spiritual energy didn't affect him much, since he was immune to the damage; it was just that it smelled terrible and was a bit disgusting.

However, as soon as Gao Yuanfan came out, his face visibly turned red and then purple, as if he was lacking oxygen.

Seeing this, Li Hao waved his hand and launched the flying boat, which swelled to its normal size in the wind.

He then threw Gao Yuanfan up there and activated the full array.

After isolating him, Li Hao gave Gao Yuanfan a bucket of milk and said, "Your strength is indeed a bit too weak. Why don't you stay in Linhai City and I'll go alone?"

Gao Yuanfan hadn't even caught his breath after drinking the milk when he saw countless people rushing towards the flying boat, trying to board, but being blocked by the flying boat's formation.

They started self-destructing again. The formation on the flying boat was naturally not as powerful as the formation in Linhai Town. Soon, the colorless barrier began to turn purplish-black, and it was estimated that it would break in less than half a quarter of an hour.

Li Hao's face darkened, and he said, "Alright, you're not going back."

"All spirit puppets are in position!"

At Li Hao's command, the twenty spirit puppets immediately set off and took their positions at the Gatling gun firing positions.

"Human wave tactics? I have a Gatling gun, why would I be afraid of your human wave tactics?"

"Now that things have come to this, nothing can stop me from obtaining the Chaos Yellow Soil."

"Preheat...fire!"
