Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal-Chapter 232 - 162: Can’t Hold On Anymore, Let’s Run!

Chapter 232: Chapter 162: Can’t Hold On Anymore, Let’s Run!

There are still five days until reinforcements arrive,

in addition to retreating to the inner city, the defense perimeter has become much smaller, which instead boosted everyone’s confidence.

Soon, Zhou Xun and the others saw those five tall figures slowly approaching.

Leading them was the Cyan Snake Great Demon, nearly one hundred zhang tall, making the walls that were originally dozens of zhang high seem much shorter.

Without the protection of the Mountain Protection Array, there were only some Tier Two restrictions on the walls.

In front of this Tier Three Middle-Grade Peak Great Demon, they were like paper.

It crushed through them, causing them to collapse straight away.

The four Great Demons beside it were the same, reducing buildings to flat ground with every zhang they advanced.

The White Cloud Immortal City, which had stood for hundreds of years, began to be destroyed inch by inch.

Soon, they reached a position a thousand zhang away from the inner city.

Master White Cloud stared at the leading Cyan Snake, and lightly shouted,

"Kill"

Immediately driving the Wood Radiance Gourd out of the array’s range.

Above the array, the large fiery bird also dove down.

Their target remained the Qing Yu Demon King, while the remaining four were left to the Cloud Light Sect allies.

Master Jin Hong was still dealing with the giant bear.

It’s just that Liu Bo’an’s death left them short of a Fake Pill combatant, so Cloud Light Sect had to spare one to face the Xuan Lang Demon King.

However, they had already discussed getting close to the Defense Light Shield while dealing with the Great Demons, so that Xing Huai’an, Zuo Qifan, and other Late-Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators could assist by providing mana.

Soon, Master White Cloud engaged with the Qing Yu Demon King.

That Meat Reishi was indeed miraculous.

In just two days, the Qing Yu Demon King’s serious injuries had fully healed.

Master White Cloud, though resentful, understood the gravity of their mission—to guard the city for five days.

Therefore, he adopted a defensive stance against the Qing Yu Demon King.

With the firebird as the main focus, assisting from the side, he fought against the Qing Yu Demon King.

Similarly, the other places also struggled to hold on.

The two Fake Pill Cultivators dealing with a Great Demon on their own were having a hard time.

If not for Xing Huai’an and others using a few Tier Three Talismans, they might have already been killed.

The Xuan Lang Demon King’s true form was a wild boar, with tough skin and flesh and extremely strong physicality.

His opponent was Master Qingtan.

"Bang——"

Master Qingtan, maneuvering a Tier Three Low-Grade shield treasure, once again withstood the Xuan Lang Demon King’s assault.

However, his face was somewhat pale.

The mana of a Fake Pill Realm Cultivator is only half that of a True Pill Cultivator, thus it doesn’t last long.

Each time he faced the Xuan Lang Demon King’s attack, it consumed a large amount of mana and heart power, gradually making him somewhat powerless.

He didn’t notice that each time he defended, he shifted significantly to the left, and this time, he was a bit too close to the giant bear.

At this moment, the Xuan Lang Demon King, relying on its strong demon body, charged again.

Due to insufficient mana, Master Qingtan shifted to the side.

Unexpectedly, this move placed him closer than he intended, while the giant bear was ready to attack Master Jin Hong.

Suddenly glimpsing Master Qingtan not far away.

The giant bear abruptly changed direction and charged.

Master Jin Hong, fully prepared to withstand the Fengg Yong Demon King’s assault, was taken aback when it changed direction, instinctively looking over.

He immediately saw the conspicuous position of Master Qingtan and was shocked.

Realizing his peril, Master Qingtan instantly maneuvered his shield to stand in front.

The Tier Three Middle-Grade giant bear, what a power that was.

A Fake Pill Realm Cultivator with exhausted mana, driving a Tier Three Low-Grade Defense Shield, couldn’t possibly withstand it.

"Bang——"

A tremendous noise.

The shield’s spirit light instantly dimmed.

Master Qingtan, connected in spirit to the shield, turned pale, his heart felt a shock, having difficulties controlling the shield.

Just as he was about to forcefully maintain control.

"Bang——"

Another blow.

It was the Xuan Lang Demon King taking advantage of the situation.

The heavily struck Master Qingtan couldn’t sustain anymore, dropping his Defense Shield to the ground.

And the Fengg Yong Demon King seized this chance to rush forward, delivering a vicious slap on Master Qingtan’s head.

The Tier Three Middle-Grade Demon King, what immense strength that was.

In an instant, he was smashed into a meat pie, Master Qingtan fell!

Everyone was shocked and dismayed.

The humans were already short-staffed, and now losing a Fake Pill combatant made it even worse.

More seriously, Master Qingtan, as one of the reinforcements, fell here.

Could the other Fake Pills from Cloud Light Sect still have the determination to resist?

Almost simultaneously, all three Fake Pill Cultivators retreated into the array.

Seeing this, although Master Jin Hong was a True Pill Cultivator, he couldn’t forcefully command the three Fake Pill Cultivators to charge out again, so he too had to retreat into the array.

This left all the pressure on Master White Cloud.

Master White Cloud had to take out several Tier Three Talismans, activating them in a flurry towards the four Great Demons.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Master White Cloud quickly shouted to Master Jin Hong behind him:

"Daoist Jin Hong, the city is breached, facing five Great Demons, nearly a thousand Tier Two Great Demons, can you retreat unharmed?"

Master Jin Hong instantly realized, said a few words to the three Fake Pill Cultivators, and then charged out again.

The three Fake Pill Cultivators, seeing this, also drove their magical treasures and charged out once more.

However, by then, it was already too late.

The giant bear broke through numerous Tier Three Techniques’ obstructions, raised its right hand, and struck at Master White Cloud.

Master White Cloud saw this and maneuvered the Wood Radiance Gourd to block.

"Snap——"

The immense recoil immediately blasted the bear’s paw apart.

Unexpectedly, this hasty move of the Fengg Yong Demon King gave Master White Cloud an opportunity.

Just as Master White Cloud felt relieved, the mournful cry of the firebird came from the side.

It had a wing torn by the Cyan Snake Illusion.

One loss and one gain.

On the surface, neither side gained an advantage.

However, though the giant bear was injured, it could use the Meat Reishi, while the firebird’s wing was torn, its Divine Soul also damaged, deprived of its physical body, it could not recover; moreover, because of the injury, its Divine Soul Power would rapidly drain.

Based on today’s tearing speed, it wouldn’t take many days before its tier would drop.

And this Demon Spirit was linked to the Mountain Protection Array.

With the demon spirit greatly damaged, the array’s power was naturally also greatly reduced.

And this was Qing Yu Demon King’s real purpose, as that giant bear’s attack was directed by Qing Yu Demon King.

Seeing that his goal was achieved, the Qing Yu Demon King suddenly stopped attacking, and an intangible sound wave arose.

All the demon beasts simultaneously ceased actions and slowly retreated.

"The demon beasts, retreated?"

Master Jin Hong was somewhat surprised.

"It’s good they retreated, we at least managed another day!"

...

At night, in the Cloud Light Sect’s camp, the fall of Master Qingtan cast a shadow over their hearts.

For a long while, a white-haired elder, with a little over fifty years, exchanged glances with the others, then turned to the Master Jin Hong in front of him, and spoke after a moment of silence:

"Senior Brother Jin Hong, let’s leave!"
