Bang! Bang! Bang!

A tentacle swept across the top of the city wall, sending several cultivators who were caught off guard flying out.

However, it slapped the battlements wildly and fiercely, instantly destroying a heavy crossbow.

And such scenes were not just happening in one place.

All four walls of Weifa City were ablaze, the mana barrier of the City Protecting Great Array was clearly unable to stop the frenzied attacks of the evil monsters, and breach after breach appeared.

It was a helpless situation, as the area protected by the City Protecting Great Array was simply too large; once it faced all-around attacks, it was easy for weak points to be pierced through.

From the air above, looking down at the fortress at this moment, one would see the walls already surrounded by tens of thousands of tentacles.

Followed by an overwhelming army of evil monsters!

The cultivators guarding the city walls were already giving it their all but still couldn’t completely hold back the siege.

“Ah!”

A shrill scream suddenly rose as a battle cultivator was tightly entangled by a tentacle, strangling until blood flowed from the seven orifices and his eyeballs protruded.

Whoosh!

Out of nowhere, a pure gold staff smashed through the air, hitting the lower end of the tentacle.

With a “splurting” sound, the tentacle was instantly severed in two, and black poisonous liquid splattered everywhere.

The one who had come to the rescue was Wang Chen.

He had just recalled his Red Nether Flying Sword when he saw a fellow cultivator in jeopardy; he immediately hefted the Hidden Dragon Staff and gave the enemy a fierce blow.

Wang Chen’s physique was far stronger than that of other cultivators of his level, and he had also studied mortal martial arts; his close-combat abilities were in no way inferior to the Purple Mansion mana he possessed.

In the current chaotic situation, the Hidden Dragon Staff was more lethal than the Red Nether Sword.

Because this high-tier spiritual artifact contained the mighty power of extreme firmness and yang!

The rescued cultivator fell heavily to the ground, coughing up fresh blood, but still managed to struggle free of the remnants of the tentacle and took out a Healing Pill to swallow.

He gasped a few breaths and said hoarsely, “Thank you.”

However, Wang Chen had no time to attend to him because a large number of evil monsters were climbing the walls, passing through the breaches in the mana barrier created by the black tentacles, and landing on the pathway.

Hiss-hiss~

A huge hairy spider fixed its gaze on Wang Chen, opening its fangs and spitting a stream of sticky silk towards him.

Wang Chen reacted extremely quickly, swinging his staff to block in front of him.

Unexpectedly, the moment the silk touched the staff, it stuck firmly to it, and not even Wang Chen’s formidable strength could break free immediately.

Although the hairy spider could not deal with Wang Chen and failed to retract its silk desperately, another spider of the same size appeared to his right.

The latter swung its sharp claws fiercely at Wang Chen’s head!

In the nick of time, Wang Chen suddenly let go of his hands, and the Hidden Dragon Staff was instantly pulled away by the spider in front.

At the same time, he used the force from the silk pulling to dart forward, avoiding the claw thrust and rapidly closing in on the spider ahead.

A punch landed on its round head!

Bang!

This punch concentrated Wang Chen’s full strength of the Heavenly Dragon Vajra; a faint golden light appeared on his fist, and the explosive power of the punch suddenly pierced through the hard shell of the giant spider’s head.

The spider’s head burst open like a watermelon smashed by a sledgehammer weighing thousands of pounds!

Wang Chen reached out to recapture his Hidden Dragon Staff and spun around, thrusting the staff at the large spider that was launching a sneak attack from behind.

The long Hidden Dragon Staff precisely entered the gaping fangs of the spider, mercilessly piercing through its head, with black, green, and purple fluids exploding into the air.

The next moment, Wang Chen withdrew the Hidden Dragon Staff and slapped both hands on his waist, instantly pulling out dozens of talismans from his talisman pouch.

“Swift!”

He shot out over thirty talismans in a simultaneous volley, ambidextrously!

This move seemed simple, but without a profound cultivation level and the corresponding spellcasting skills, it was not easy to activate so many talismans at once.

The talismans used by Wang Chen were all high-tier Spirit Talismans he had forged himself!

Dozens of bursts of spiritual light exploded open all at once, suddenly transforming into fiercely blazing fireballs, roaring towards the evil monsters that had just scaled the city walls.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Accompanied by a series of explosive sounds, several evil monsters were either blasted to pieces, flung off the wall, or ignited into raging flames, with their shrieks overlaying one another.

The monstrous wave of the evil monsters’ attack was actually single-handedly suppressed by him.

However, Wang Chen’s bravery alone couldn’t change the immense danger the entire stretch of the city wall was facing of being overrun.

More and more breaches appeared in the City Protecting Great Array beneath the furious onslaught of the evil monster army, causing many cultivators defending the wall to fall into close-quarters combat.

The situation for the battle cultivators was relatively better, as their proficiency in melee combat allowed them to hold their positions.

But it was problematic for those pioneer cultivators supporting the city defense; many were forced to take to the sky to maintain distance, using their most proficient spells and magical artifacts to intercept the evil monsters.

However, the sky was not safe either, as numerous giant eagles penetrated the mana barriers, attacking the cultivators in flight with madness.

The evil monsters were simply too numerous, one wave following another like an endless tide, with the evil monsters breaching three sides of the city walls, one of which was in danger of collapse.

Thump—

At the critical moment, an ear-deafening rumble suddenly emanated from the direction of the Sect’s Law Hall.

This majestic palace radiated out tens of thousands of golden lights, which instantly shot out in all directions.

In an instant, it covered the entire city.

Thousands of evil monsters scaling the walls, as well as the giant eagles circling in the sky, all vanished into ash the moment they were touched by the golden light, even if it was just barely a graze.

But the cultivators defending the city were unaffected.

Evil-Dissipating Divine Light!

This was the magical prowess unleashed by the Golden Core True Person stationed at the Law Hall, with the aid of the City Protecting Great Array!

One attack to clear the city, the mightiness of which made one shudder.

Many cultivators embroiled in the bitter fight suddenly lost their targets and, after a moment of stunned silence, erupted into an earth-shaking cheer, their morale soaring!

However, before everyone’s joy could last long, thunderous roars came from outside the city.

Gigantic figures appeared behind the evil monster army, towering giants, each several dozen feet tall.

They were completely naked, their skin the color of rock, with broad shoulders carrying two hideous, grotesque heads. Red eyes dripped with saliva as their throats emitted “huh huh” low growls.

Each two-headed giant held a massive stone club and marched in uniform steps, heedlessly trampling any monster in their path, pressing closer to Weifa City step by step.

Every cultivator witnessing this scene changed color.

These evil monsters were clearly not ordinary beings. They were the enemy’s fresh troops entering the battlefield, instantly wiping away the joy that had just begun to take root in everyone’s hearts.

Pressure mounted!

Boom!

At that moment, a God-Slaying Cannon mounted atop a Defense Tower roared.
