Chapter 724 Black Moon City Crisis

As soon as the commander finished speaking, the demonic animals rushed towards the city wall like madmen.

Immediately, the soldiers on the city wall began to draw their bows and shoot arrows. In the next moment, a rain of arrows struck the monsters.

When the black gold arrows touched the monsters' bodies, they immediately repelled the demonic energy. The moment the arrows struck the monsters, they vanished from their original positions, leaving only demonic cores.

Seeing this, Lu Chen was somewhat surprised. Were these black gold arrows really that effective? They were able to kill the monster so easily.

If used to deal with demonic cultivators, I wonder if it would have the same effect.

The first wave of demonic energy was quickly stopped by the rain of arrows produced by Black Moon City, but the matter did not end there.

The demonic energy within the sealed demon-forbidden area is growing increasingly dense, clearly indicating that an even larger demonic tide is gathering.

At this moment, Ji Qiuyu brought Bai Wenbin back to Lu Chen's side.

Lu Chen spoke up, "Lord Ji, I don't have any weapons forged from black gold. Could you lend me a sword made of black gold?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Wenbin scoffed and said, "A rogue cultivator is a rogue cultivator, really poor enough that he can't even afford a Black Gold Sword."

Without hesitation, Ji Qiuyu threw the sword of the soldier next to her to Lu Chen.

After catching the sword, Lu Chen said, "Thank you, City Lord Ji."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Chen drew his sword and carefully examined the condition of the black gold sword.

Then he suddenly realized that the black aura emanating from the black gold sword seemed to be the power of a celestial demon.

After obtaining the Black Gold Sword, the Demon Burial Technique within his body began to operate on its own, and the black aura on the Black Gold Sword also dissipated rapidly.

This……

Lu Chen seemed to understand something. No wonder this so-called black gold could kill demons; it turned out to be using demons to control demons.

However, why didn't the demonic power emanating from this black gold become nourishment for those demons, making them stronger, or instead turn into weapons that could kill them?

Just as Lu Chen was puzzled, the system notification sounded.

"Both celestial demons and demonic beings contain two kinds of power: demonic power and demon-sealing power."

"If there is only demonic power, but no demon-sealing power to limit it, the Heavenly Demon and the demonic creatures will completely degenerate into mindless fallen demons."

"The black gold does not contain demonic energy or the power of celestial demons, but rather the power to seal demons. When some powerful celestial demons fall, the power to seal demons within their bodies solidifies into black gold."

Upon hearing the system notification's explanation, Lu Chen instantly realized what was going on.

This is similar to how there are proto-cancer cells and suppressor cells in the human body. You can rely on proto-cancer cells to proliferate, but you cannot let proto-cancer cells grow indefinitely. At this time, suppressor cells are needed to limit their growth.

The power of sealing demons is similar to suppressing cancer cells, limiting the rampant increase of demonic power among celestial demons and monsters, thus achieving a balance in their bodies.

Lu Chen couldn't help but sigh, realizing that even the bodies of demons were so particular.

At this moment, the demonic energy above the Demon Sealing Forbidden Land was growing thicker and thicker, but the second wave of demonic tides was still nowhere to be seen, which made Ji Qiuyu very uneasy.

She would be happy if the demonic tide stopped coming, but the current situation was more like the calm before the storm.

The sky above the Demon-Sealing Forbidden Land is filled with such dense demonic energy, and countless demons have already gathered on the ground. If those demons were to swarm forward, Black Moon City might not be able to withstand them.

For a moment, Ji Qiuyu's beautiful face was filled with worry.

Gradually, the sun completely set, and the sky gradually darkened, but the demons still did not emerge from the sealed demon realm.

At this moment, a full moon slowly rose from the horizon, but the soaring demonic energy obscured most of the moon, leaving only a halo of light visible, making it look like a black moon. This is the origin of the name Black Moon City.

Ji Qiuyu's expression grew increasingly grim. The demons hadn't appeared for so long; she wondered how large the second wave of demons would be.

At this moment, everyone was on edge, and even Bai Wenbin shifted his attention from Ji Qiuyu to the Demon Sealing Forbidden Land.

He originally thought that even if there were unusual movements in the Demon Sealing Forbidden Land, it wouldn't cause a major demonic surge. After all, this wasn't the first time the Demon Sealing Forbidden Land had experienced unusual movements. There had been a demonic energy eruption in the Demon Sealing Forbidden Land some time ago, but nothing serious happened.

He came here today only to take advantage of the strange activity in the Demon Sealing Forbidden Land to get close to Ji Qiuyu and cultivate a relationship with her.

However, judging from the current situation, it seems that the unusual activity in the Demon Sealing Forbidden Land is not normal, and there is indeed something going on.

Just as everyone held their breath, waiting for the demons in the Demon Sealing Forbidden Land to emerge, a huge black shadow suddenly flew out of the Demon Sealing Forbidden Land.

The soldiers were immediately thrown into chaos.

"Flying monster!!! It's a flying monster!!!"

"Everyone be careful!!!"

"Quickly...quickly use the Demon-Slaying Arrow!!!"

……

After hearing what the soldiers said, Lu Chen noticed that there were weapons similar to siege crossbows on the city wall.

It looks the same as a siege crossbow, but the arrowheads of the giant arrows on it are made of black gold.

It seems that this so-called demon-slaying arrow is specifically designed to deal with such large monsters.

The soldiers quickly aimed their siege crossbows at the flying monster in the sky, but before they could even fire their arrows, the flying monster in the sky instantly shot out countless black feathers, which flew out like arrows.

In an instant, many soldiers on the city wall were pierced through the body by the black arrows.

The soldiers guarding the city were all cultivators at the Celestial Realm. Their strength was considered quite good even in the Tianchen World, but in this world, they were no different from ordinary people.

Seeing the soldiers fall one by one, Ji Qiuyu couldn't hold back any longer. She leaped up, ready to personally kill the flying monster.

Just then, the earth began to tremble, and the next moment, a tidal wave of demons surged out from the sealed demon forbidden land.

The soldiers on the city wall immediately began to fire arrows frantically, but this time there were far too many monsters, and they seemed to be stronger as well. The first batch of monsters would die if they were touched by the black gold arrows, but this time it took several arrows to kill them.

In an instant, the soldiers' faces turned deathly pale; it was the first time they had ever seen such a scene.

Although they had encountered large-scale demonic tides, this was the first time they had ever seen such a scene of ferocious beasts piling up and charging towards the city walls.

The walls of Black Moon City were already high enough, but they were completely powerless against such a massive demonic tide. Soon, some demons used the bodies of other demons to climb the walls.

The soldiers had no choice but to engage the monsters in close combat with their swords.

Ji Qiuyu gritted her teeth, unleashed her sword energy, and swiftly killed the flying demon in the sky. Then she returned to the city wall and joined the soldiers in resisting the demon's attack.

Upon seeing this scene, Bai Wenbin's mind went blank; he hadn't expected there to be so many demons.
