Swordholder

After a large number of civilians died, the Wuxiang Guards, yamen runners, and aristocratic family guards followed.

These beings had no choice but to fight these corpse puppets.

Because they were not qualified to enter the prefectural governor's mansion for protection.

In just a few breaths, the place was littered with corpses, severed limbs, and other gruesome sights.

It is clear that the battle was extremely fierce, and it was a one-sided battle.

"Everyone, follow me and block this entrance, or we'll all die!"

One of the middle-aged men, his face contorted with rage, shouted loudly as he fought, while simultaneously commanding hundreds of Wuxiang Guards, as well as hundreds of aristocratic family guards, yamen runners, and government officials.

They gathered at the entrance, where the light barrier couldn't reach, and fought madly against the corpse puppets!

His name is Jiang Cheng, a human, and a chief of the Wuxiang Division.

"Quickly, you guys go! Hold them off!"

Another middle-aged woman wearing an orange skirt shouted loudly.

She was voluptuous and exuded maturity, with fierce, phoenix-like eyes.

"All human guards, officials, yamen runners, and law enforcement officers, get them all moving!"

"It doesn't matter if you die, but we can't let the corpse puppets in and harm the Qi family!"

The middle-aged woman was named Qi Xiaochun, an elder of the Qi family. She was powerful, having reached the Great Perfection of the Yellow Court realm, yet she was here driving human cultivators forward.

Even in the face of danger, she immediately hides at the back.

As for the other cultivators of the Beast Clan, they stood at the back, watching coldly from the sidelines!

They acted as if it didn't matter if they died, but it didn't matter if we died.

Jiang Cheng's gaze was as cold as a knife, and the other human cultivators also felt aggrieved and resentful.

But there was nothing that could be done.

Before danger arrives, the first to die will naturally be the lower-class people of the human race!

The second group to die were human cultivators.

The third batch consisted of the guards and cultivators of the Beast Clan.

As for the middle and upper management of the Beast Immortal Clan, they always waited until the very end to make their move.

Therefore, those fighting the corpse puppets at this moment are mostly human cultivators. Although they have become Wuxiang Guards, officials, yamen runners, law enforcement guards, etc., they are still human in essence.

As human beings, we cannot escape the fate of becoming cannon fodder.

"Damn it, those beastmen are clearly stronger than us humans, possessing the power to fight corpse puppets, so why didn't they intervene? Did they just stand by and watch us die here first?"

"Keep your voice down, do you have a death wish? Don't let them kill you before you even die at the hands of the corpse puppets!"

"Yes, this is our fate. What can we do when we're human?"

"They need us to weaken the corpse puppets before they'll make their move!"

……

Amidst the fierce battle among thousands of cultivators, some whispered amongst themselves, their voices filled with helplessness and sorrow.

At the same time, they were overwhelmed by the endless stream of corpse puppets rushing in, and each of them was covered in wounds.

These corpse puppets have no sense of pain; they only know how to fight madly, risking their lives for each other.

Even though these cultivators, nurtured by the environment of this world, possessed a fearless and ruthless nature, they were still terrified in the face of such a terrifying corpse puppet.

"withstand!"

Jiang Cheng roared with fury, his eyes wide with rage, watching as the people were turned into mountains of corpses and seas of blood, filling him with extreme grief and indignation.

These beasts!

Jiang Cheng turned around, glanced at those high and mighty beast-manipulating lords, and gritted his teeth!

He wished he could abandon his post and let the corpse puppets break in and kill all these so-called beast masters!

But he couldn't do that; there were still many of his fellow humans here!

Once this breach occurs, the human beings within the area covered by the governor's seal will essentially be wiped out.

"It's a pity the prefect is dead. Without his control, the prefectural seal cannot fully exert its power!"

Jiang Cheng sighed, looking again at the densely packed corpse puppets that stretched to the far end of the street, rushing towards him like a tidal wave, and his heart turned cold!

"Director Jiang, be careful!"

Just then, a cry of surprise rang out; it was the voice of one of his team leaders.

Jiang Cheng's scalp tingled instantly, and the hairs on his body stood on end. He tried to back away, but it was too late. A sharp pain shot through his chest, followed by a terrifying force that swept over his entire body, sending him flying backward uncontrollably. He crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out blood!

"what!"

Jiang Cheng grunted, and out of the corner of his eye, a pale-faced figure with sinister fangs appeared in front of him!

A corpse puppet at the Great Perfection of the Yellow Court!

Behind him, dozens of corpse puppets at the Yellow Court Realm, emitting piercing howls, charged in like hungry wolves!

Jiang Cheng's pupils contracted!

Finished!

It's completely over!

He was about to close his eyes in despair!

Suddenly, a cry of a divine bird came from the street corner ahead!

Chirp~~~

In Jiang Cheng's pupils, a dazzling golden flame was instantly reflected, which gradually evolved into a huge golden crow divine bird burning with flames!

boom!!!

With a flap of its wings, the Golden Crow Divine Bird unleashed a fiery storm that swept outwards in all directions, instantly filling the street ahead with a golden sea of ​​fire!

"This...this is..."

Jiang Cheng's eyes widened slowly!

Almost simultaneously, the Golden Crow Divine Bird, accompanied by a storm of flames, charged straight towards the army of corpse puppets here!

boom!!!

The Golden Crow Divine Bird crashed into the army of corpse puppets, instantly exploding with flames raging across the sky!

Rumble!!!

The army of corpse puppets was instantly ignited, scattered and exploded, their bodies flying in mid-air before being torn to pieces, turning into countless pieces of flesh!

And a huge crater was blasted out of the spot!

The dozens of corpse puppets at the Yellow Court Realm also paused, all looking back with fear in their eyes.

Those flames are the natural nemesis of these evil creatures.

boom!

Almost simultaneously, after the Golden Crow Flame Bird bombarded the area, three figures appeared and rushed over at an astonishing speed!

Moreover, the aura they unleashed was terrifyingly powerful, causing everyone's pupils to suddenly contract!

One of the golden figures was extremely dazzling!

Behind him appeared a giant dharma image clad in dazzling golden armor, wielding a golden greatsword. It was like a golden giant, swinging the golden sword and sweeping across the battlefield, much like a giant windmill, turning with a rumble. Wherever it passed, the corpse puppets were sent flying, their bodies shattered, and blood and flesh flying everywhere!

He actually carved a bloody path through the army of corpse puppets!

Another little girl was lifted into the air by a black umbrella!

hum!

As the umbrella spun rapidly in mid-air, it expanded quickly, blotting out the sky!

A strange power descended, and the corpse puppets below, which were covered by the umbrella, froze, their spiritual consciousness instantly drained away!

In the blink of an eye, the thousands of corpse puppets that were about to charge out lost control and became empty shells, falling to the ground with thuds!

The boy who had previously unleashed the Golden Crow Flaming Divine Bird was incredibly fast!

Jiang Shangwu's family.

Among the others, some recognized Chen Yuan, especially some commoners, who knelt down, their bodies trembling and their eyes filled with tears.

Some cultivators who specialize in beast-manipulation showed expressions of apprehension.

"Damn it! How come this human bastard is getting stronger and stronger? Why isn't he dying among the corpse puppets?"

Some of the beast-manipulating cultivators even spoke through gritted teeth.

After all, Chen Yuan had caused the official beast-eating families of Tianqing County to suffer a setback, and had also killed so many of their prodigies.

Therefore, many people hoped that he would die at the hands of the corpse puppet.

Chen Yuan's gaze fell on Jiang Cheng, and he nodded to him. Then he looked amicably at the other Wuxiang Division Chiefs and the dozens of Wuxiang Guards surrounding Jiang Cheng.

He knew that these were all loyal subordinates of his second uncle, Chen Guohai, and were basically members of the Chen family.

Jiang Cheng and the Wuxiang Guards all became excited, looking at Chen Yuan with eager expressions.

Suddenly, Chen Yuan frowned slightly and looked at the other beast-eating cultivators who had malicious expressions.

"You three are also Wuxiang Guardians!?"

Qi Xiaochun snapped out of his shock and his gaze fell on the Wuxiang Guard uniforms worn by Chen Yuan and the other two. He strode over, stared at Chen Yuan, and shouted menacingly.

Chen Yuan looked at the mature woman but didn't say anything.

Qi Xiaochun snorted coldly, "The three of you are quite strong, so come and protect our Qi family members."

As she spoke, she turned around, and Feng Mohan's phoenix eyes swept over Jiang Cheng, who was covered in blood, with murderous intent.

"Useless trash, get out of here! You're useless. You couldn't even stop a bunch of corpse puppets and almost got us into danger."

Jiang Cheng's eyes were dark as he stared intently at Qi Xiaochun!

Qi Xiaochun snorted coldly and continued walking towards the Qi family's group ahead.

She had clearly not heard Jiang Cheng's words and had automatically ignored the fact that Chen Yuan was backed by the young master of the Chen family.

As it stands today, she was sent by the Qi family's higher-ups to guard the lower-level disciples and clansmen of the Qi family, and she was already full of resentment.

Seeing three such powerful cultivators appear, especially human cultivators, she naturally adopted a superior attitude and ordered them to stand with the Qi family.

This is to protect their family.

Even Wu Xiang Wei like Jiang Cheng were completely suppressed by her.

Therefore, in her view, Chen Yuan and the other two naturally had no room to resist.

However, she stopped walking, unaware that someone was following her, and turned around.

Seeing Chen Yuan and the other two still standing there, staring at her with mocking expressions, Qi Xiaochun's gaze turned cold. "Don't worry, as long as you protect the people of the Qi family, you will receive all the benefits."

Chen Yuan remained calm and said, "You have no right to order me around."

As he spoke, he looked at all the other disciples and clansmen of the Beastmaster Clan, "I have no obligation to protect you."

"presumptuous!"

An old man from the Qi family shouted angrily.

"Who do you think you are? A lowly human, even if you become a Wuxiang Guardian, you think you can escape your class?"
