I relied on leveling up to achieve a comeback.

"Four breakthroughs!!"

Xu Hao quickly opened his personal attribute panel.

Player: Xu Hao (19/70)

Level: 133 (2786/5000) (Can be obtained by killing valuable creatures)

Power: 72

Stamina: 72

Agility: 72

Mental state: 32 (normal level is 5)

Health: 6000

Free attribute points: 0

Martial Arts: Fierce Tiger Fist [Perfect 4952/5000, Trait: Strength +18, Speed ​​+16 when activated]

Swift Step [Ultimate, Trait, Swiftness.]

Sword Drawing Technique [Ultimate, Unique, Indestructible]

Achievements: None; Backpack: 10 cubic meters.

Xu Hao looked at his attributes and couldn't help but clench his fist.

This attribute is stronger than that of a typical expert in the Strength Realm.

Moreover, when he uses the Fierce Tiger Fist, he can temporarily gain some strength.

Combined, he was stronger than the two outer disciples from the Five Animals Sect.

In this way, he gained the ability to charge into battle during this siege crisis.

If they could also kill one or two experts at the Strength Realm, they would definitely make a fortune.

"Moreover, my health points have reached 6,000, and it's a quantifiable body. As long as my health bar doesn't run out, my combat strength won't be affected. That's what I'm so proud of!"

Xu Hao scanned his game panel with a scrutinizing gaze, his eyes landing on the Tiger Fist section. He immediately went to an open space and began practicing the fist technique.

Firstly, it allows them to adapt to the growth of their own strength.

Secondly, he also wanted to improve his Tiger Fist to its peak as soon as possible.

The ultimate use of Wind Walk and Draw Sword has given him powerful characteristics.

If the ultimate form of the Fierce Tiger Fist also has its own characteristics, then for him it would be like adding wings to a tiger.

Boom boom boom.

Xu Hao practiced his boxing in a corner of the open space, which surprised the martial artists stationed around the city wall.

They'd seen people practice boxing day and night, but they'd never seen anyone still in the mood to practice, and practice with such enthusiasm, in this dire situation.

"As expected of Master Chen's personal disciple, I'm afraid I couldn't even catch up to that level of diligence!"

"Yes, if I had been this diligent back then, I probably would have reached the Qi Refining Realm long ago!"

"No wonder he was able to defeat a fourth-level martial artist; you reap what you sow!"

The surrounding whispers made Chen Changhe look embarrassed.

He knew Xu Hao was hardworking, but this was just too hardworking!

However, he didn't dwell on it too much, since the city's defenses were still in good shape.

"By the way, send someone to the government office to see how to deal with this next. The Longevity Cult came prepared; just letting things drag on like this is not good for us!"

When someone mentions it, naturally someone will go and inquire.

Most of the people here are martial artists. They might be fine with them running businesses, but guarding the city is really not their job.

Inside the government office, there was also a huge uproar.

Some suggested pooling all resources and launching a single attack.

Some suggested a conservative approach, gathering the strongest warriors to attack the Changsheng Sect's ranks.

But all the suggestions were just talk; in the end, they all turned their attention to the two people standing in the main hall of the yamen.

Two highly skilled disciples from the Five Animal Frolics Sect.

"Feixue, what do you think we should do?" Sun Lianshan was at a loss when he heard the noisy discussion, so he could only turn to Qin Feixue beside him and ask.

He's just a martial artist; he's good at fighting, but asking him to set up a city defense is like asking him to be completely clueless.

The more you do, the more mistakes you make.

He didn't want the city he could have defended to fall apart because of his mistake.

"Well, if the casualties are smaller in defending the city, then let's stay put and not come out!" Qin Feixue said directly after considering for a moment.

"My lord, you mustn't!" As soon as Qin Feixue finished speaking, someone hurriedly spoke up, "My lords, you are unaware of the fact that the Longevity Sect has forced the surrounding villages to surrender. Qinghe County is now overcrowded, and the daily consumption is enormous."

According to normal estimates, Qinghe County's food supply will run out in less than a month. At that point, the Changsheng Sect won't even need to attack the city; Qinghe County will surely fall!

"Yes, sir, as long as the Eternal Life Sect spreads its propaganda outside, the people inside the city will surely be in a state of panic, making it even more difficult to defend the city!"

Inside the council chamber, everyone was talking at once, creating a very noisy and lively atmosphere.

"You want to attack?" Sun Lianshan shouted, then sneered, "Without knowing the strength of the Changsheng Sect's experts, who dares to lead the charge?"

You, or me?

Even I am not invincible, let alone the Longevity Sect, which also has experts at the Strength Realm!

"This..." This single sentence silenced everyone.

If the Five Animals Sect's Strength Realm experts didn't lead the team, they would only dare to launch small-scale attacks like today, and wouldn't dare to penetrate deep into the enemy's formation.

But if it's about defending the city, then it's truly a slow death.

"Feixue?" Seeing the low morale around him, Sun Liancheng turned to look at Qin Feixue. After receiving a slight signal, he continued speaking with a serious expression.

"Rest assured, our sect's higher-ups are currently engaged in a power struggle. The Longevity Sect will be even more anxious than we are. We only need to defend the city for ten days, and once our Five Animals Sect is free to act, this siege will collapse on its own!"

"Really?" The others were overjoyed upon hearing this.

Ten days? All we need to do is defend the city for ten days?

That's really not difficult!

In this way, the weight on their hearts was lifted, and they felt much more relaxed.

"Alright, now that I've given you the inside scoop, you can all go back and hold your posts. You're allowed to go out and circle around the enemy, but you must ensure your own safety. If you make any progress, you can report back, and the Five Animals Sect will reward you!" Sun Lianshan once again painted a rosy picture.

"Yes!" Upon hearing this, everyone confidently walked out of the temporary wartime meeting hall of the government office.

After everyone left, Sun Lianshan released his energy, clearing away the surrounding people, then turned to Qin Feixue and asked, "Feixue, do you think this will lure the Changsheng Sect into attacking?"

"Indeed, the Changsheng Sect must have been planning this for a long time to be able to attack the surrounding counties. There must be countless spies and insiders within Qinghe County." Qin Feixue's gaze swept into the distance. "Defend the city? Who knows how long that will take? It might even be sabotaged in secret."

Why not leak some information and put some pressure on them?

"Once the Eternal Life Cult obtains this crucial information, they will definitely coordinate with us from within and without. I will go and monitor them!" Sun Lianshan said admiringly.

The information is true.

They didn't hide it, because they were truly not good at defending the city.

It would be better to pop the balloon and have a real fight instead.

"Go ahead, but be careful. Although most of the members of the Longevity Sect who have reached the Strength Realm advance through Blood Pills, there are still some old monsters among them!" Qin Feixue reminded them.

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing!" Sun Lianshan assured him, patting his chest.

This operation was planned by Qin Feixue.

In his original plan, he only needed to destroy the sacrificial formation of the Longevity Sect and complete the sect's mission, and he didn't care about the lives of the people in Qinghe County at all.

The reason he appeared in Qinghe County was because Qin Feixue had promised him something; otherwise, he wouldn't have done such a troublesome and thankless task.

After Sun Lianshan left, Qin Feixue couldn't help but sigh.

All she could do was fight for Qinghe County to the fullest extent possible, doing her best and leaving the rest to fate!

Save as many as you can; if all else fails, then it's just fate.
