Bearing the blue sky

Chapter 205 Battle Against Two Beasts!

After subduing the black-horned bull, the caravan continued eastward.

Zhu Ge rode on Ma Zhu's back, holding the Purgatory Star Staff in his hand, his gaze occasionally sweeping into the distance.

The black-horned buffalo followed beside him, shrunk to the size of an ordinary buffalo, its head bowed, looking utterly dejected.

Without him.

Zhu Ge was teasing it.

This black horned bull is incredibly cunning, and Zhu Ge must ensure that it won't run away if they end up on the battlefield.

Behind Zhu Ge was a procession of six thousand people, a vast and imposing sight, raising clouds of dust.

"Palace Master, we're almost at Mengzi City!" A Mo family mechanic rushed in from the front: "The reconnaissance puppets have been destroyed by the demonic beasts, and Mengzi City is under siege!"

Zhu Ge looked up.

A plume of black smoke rose from the distant horizon; it wasn't cooking smoke, but beacon fire.

"As expected, there's fighting!" Zhu Ge's eyes narrowed. "All troops, accelerate!"

The 6,000-strong force quickened its pace, its footsteps thundering and causing the ground to tremble slightly.

After crossing the last mountain ridge, the outline of Mengzi City came into view.

Mengzi City was also built in a unique way.

Yuanyang City is a floating city, while Jianshui City is shaped like a purple clay teapot.

Mengzi City, however, looks like a giant bowl of Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles, with rice noodles and chopsticks extending from the bowl toward the sky.

It was as if an invisible giant was picking up the rice noodles, preparing to eat them.

At that moment, the rice noodles were actually being swung around.

The chopsticks in the sky remained still, while the rice noodles lashed out like whips at the birds and beasts in the sky.

On the edge of the bowl of Crossing-the-Bridge Rice Noodles, which is the city wall of Mengzi City, countless figures were moving about, and soldiers were desperately resisting the monsters surging in from all directions.

Outside the city, the dark, dense horde of monsters stretched as far as the eye could see.

Zhu Ge estimated that there were at least tens of thousands of them.

There were two leading monsters.

One was a giant tiger, entirely golden in color, its body the size of a small mountain, radiating a scorching aura, leaving withered vegetation wherever it passed.

On the other side was a giant python covered in dark green scales, coiled on a ruin in the east of the city, its tongue flicking and its eyes gleaming with a cold light.

Both ends!

"Palace Master, there are at least tens of thousands of demonic beasts!" Zhao Tieshan, who was not far away, turned a little pale.

"So what if there are tens of thousands?" Zhu Ge said calmly, "Haven't we fought enough before?"

He raised his hand, and the line stopped.

"Zhao Tieshan!"

"exist!"

"Take the warriors and soldiers, form a wedge formation, and charge the monster horde head-on. The goal is to break through their defenses and give the city's defenders a chance to catch their breath."

"yes!"

"Li Qingquan!"

"exist!"

"You take the Confucian scholars and follow behind the warriors, using your literary skills to enhance your abilities. In addition, Yu Xiucai will teach you the killing techniques of the Gongyang Confucian school, targeting the monsters other than those two, and trying to reduce their numbers as much as possible."

"yes!"

"Willow Tip!"

"exist!"

"Be ready to release the axe-wielding mantises at any time. Once those two monsters make their move, we'll finish them off together."

"clear!"

Liu Jianjian and the others responded one by one, and the team immediately got moving.

Zhu Ge took a deep breath and gripped the Purgatory Star Staff tightly.

"All troops, attack!"

The 6,000-strong force surged towards the horde of monsters like a flood bursting its banks.

Warriors charged at the forefront, swords and shields in hand; scholars channeled their literary energy; and soldiers stood like a forest of spears, their steps perfectly synchronized.

In the distance, on the city wall.

A middle-aged man dressed in a black robe stood on the city wall, holding a bone staff with a dark green bead embedded in the head, emitting a faint light.

His face was resolute, his cheekbones were prominent, his eyes were sunken, and his lips were chapped, clearly indicating that he hadn't had a proper rest in a long time.

But his back was ramrod straight, his gaze sharp as a hawk's.

The Three Realms, the Three Realms of Witchcraft.

"Lord! A troop has arrived outside the city!" The adjutant beside him pointed outside the city, his voice filled with surprise.

The man in black robes suddenly turned his head and looked out of the city.

A team dressed in matching black outfits is charging towards the horde of monsters.

At the head of the procession, a young man rode a bright green bamboo horse, holding a silver-red long stick, leading the way.

"Who is that?" The man's voice was hoarse and tired.

"I don't know, but their banner reads 'Six Paths Palace'!" the lieutenant exclaimed excitedly. "Lord, we're saved!"

The man didn't speak, but just stared intently at the young man's figure.

At this moment, Zhu Ge was at the very front.

His target was those two third-realm demonic beasts.

As long as they are kept in check, the monsters below the city will be lambs to the slaughter.

"roar!!!"

The golden tiger roared and charged towards Zhu Ge.

"Golden Tiger? And a snake?" Zhu Ge looked at the dark green giant python.

The giant python flicked its tongue, its eyes gleaming with a cold light.

"A mere second-level cultivator dares to come here to die?" The giant python spoke in a chilling, sinister voice.

"Whether we're going to die or not, we'll only know after we fight." Zhu Ge lightly touched the ground with his toes, leaped off Ma Zhu's back, and charged towards the giant python.

Light the incense!

His figure was like smoke and mist, leaving a trail of afterimages in the air.

The giant python opened its blood-red maw and spewed out a cloud of dark green poisonous mist.

Zhu Ge held his breath and swept the Purgatory Star Staff horizontally, dispersing the poisonous mist.

"snort!"

Wrathful Vajra Palm!

Zhu Ge smashed his staff into the giant python's head.

"Clang!"

The sound of metal clashing.

The python's scales were as hard as iron, and Zhu Ge's blow only left a shallow white mark on them.

"Is that all the strength you have?" The giant python sneered, sweeping its tail and sending Zhu Ge flying.

Zhu Ge did a few somersaults in the air, landed steadily, and rubbed her arm that had been hit.

I barely felt anything.

It seems that after mastering the Wind Refinement technique, I am indeed capable of striking at the level of a third-realm city lord.

"Such tough scales." A fierce fighting spirit ignited in his eyes.

He barely used any force; he was just testing the waters.

"Bang!"

The golden tiger next to it also lunged at it, but Zhu Ge knocked it away with a stick.

Simultaneously facing two third-realm monsters!

Jin Hu was sent flying by a blow, his massive body tumbling several times in the air before he regained his footing and shook his head, his golden pupils filled with shock.

The force of that blow was much greater than it had imagined.

"This human—" Jin Hu roared, his golden fur standing on end, and his scorching aura erupted like a volcanic eruption.

Zhu Ge ignored it, her gaze fixed on the giant python.

"Light incense!"

His figure disappeared from the spot.

Kill one first!

At that time, the mantis and the axe won't even need to make a move!

"Hiss—" The python's pupils shrank suddenly, and its tongue flicked in and out wildly.

It sensed danger, but Zhu Ge was too fast, too fast for its eyes to keep up.

left.

The snake's tail swept across.

Right.
