Chapter 264 - In Danger

Chapter 264: In Danger

Li Yuanqing stood above Rong City like a god of slaughter. His eyes were emotionless as he stared at the tens of thousands of troops in front of him.

Even though these half-human and half-demon monsters were all heroic and fearless when they rushed forward, they could not help but retreat after seeing Li Yuanqing. The tens of thousands of demon army retreated silently without any control. Only when their general blocked them with a huge ax did they stop their retreat.

The remaining demons all had lingering fears. They knew Li Yuanqing’s strength just now. Such a powerful vanguard was actually gone in one round in front of this person. There were a total of five intermediate generals in their Southern Front, and one of them was the overall leader of this operation. The four directions were the same.

They had just met, but they had immediately lost a fierce general. How could they continue fighting?

“No retreating. Those who retreat will be killed!”

One of the minotaur monsters held a long saber in his hand and cut down a row of demons. These strange-looking demons were split into two from their chests. Blood splattered all over the ground, forming a dividing line that blocked the demons who were retreating.

After being frightened this time, these demon warriors slowly began to forget their fear. When they smelled the stench of blood, their eyes slowly turned red again, as if they had been infected by some virus.

These fellows seemed to be completely unafraid. They suddenly came to a realization and widened their blood-red eyes in the direction of Rong City and Li Yuanqing, who was standing in midair.

Just as Li Yuanqing stopped here, the few generals of the Southern Front were all mobilized. There were a total of four intermediate generals who were still alive, and one advanced general who was a bloated and huge pig-shaped monster.

If one looked carefully, they would be able to see the shape of a human. However, the organs on his body looked like pigs. Two fangs that were more than ten meters long protruded out of his wide lips domineeringly. A fat and round nose was raised and covered in wrinkles. And those fan-sized ears only treated his head as a normal person. If one really compared it, these ears had a diameter of twenty meters. They were exceptionally eye-catching when placed together with his tall body.

The moment this person appeared, Li Yuanqing focused his gaze on him.

This guy was powerful and did not take Li Yuanqing seriously at all.

“Where did this wild kid come from? How can you block my path?” The pig-faced monster’s voice was like a bell.

......

“Do you think you’re worthy of calling yourself a general?” Li Yuanqing spoke indifferently. Although his voice was very soft, the difference in their bodies was still very clear.

The pig-faced monster snorted coldly, and two very thick white smoke came out of its nostrils. The pig-faced monster’s voice was as loud as several huge bells. “Good, you’re quite fast. I didn’t pay attention and you killed my beloved general!”

Li Yuanqing said indifferently, “If you’re dissatisfied with this, I’ll be very generous and send you over to meet your brother elsewhere.”

“Why? Are you going to kill me too?” The pig-faced monster laughed as if he had heard a huge joke.

Li Yuanqing replied without changing his expression, “If you tell me honestly now who sent you, I might be able to let you live. If you continue to be stubborn, I’m afraid you’ll only die.”

“Let me live?” The pig-faced monster looked at Li Yuanqing in confusion as if it did not hear him. It flapped its huge ears and said, “Kid, your voice is too soft. I didn’t hear you clearly.”

This fellow was actually a powerful person. He was at the fourth-grade Formation Arrangement Realm. Such strength could naturally be said to be domineering among the demons. However, he did not expect to meet Li Yuanqing today.

He looked at Li Yuanqing with a smile and said, “If the big shot in Rong City was still around, I might be afraid of you. However, that guy has already disappeared. You guys are just guarding here, yet you still dare to speak arrogantly to me. I think all of you are tired of living!”

As the monster spoke, he laughed out loud. The strong impact emitted from his voice shook the shield outside Rong City.

However, the pressure on the south wall was much lower. After that, the shock waves from the other three sides were also blocked. Although they kept pouring their power into it, the effect was not as obvious as before. It could even be said to be negligible.

These rebels also felt that it was strange. They were originally fighting well, but now, it was getting more and more strenuous. Moreover, not only was it strenuous, but it also did not seem to have any effect at all. They did not know what went wrong.

The pig-faced monster was still talking nonsense with Li Yuanqing when he suddenly received news from the other fronts. He was stunned for a moment before turning to look at Li Yuanqing in the sky.

At this moment, the monster’s eyes were completely focused on Li Yuanqing. There was a strong killing intent in its eyes.

“Kid, if I happened to pass by today, I could play with you. However, I have a heavy responsibility on my shoulders today. You should just die!”

As the pig head spoke, he took out a huge rake that was as tall as the sky. This huge rake flew in his hands like a nimble bamboo rod, looking very light. He only threw the rake heavily to the ground and immediately created a huge pit dozens of meters in diameter.

The people in Rong City felt the powerful energy fluctuation outside and looked outside with lingering fear.

The giant was standing there. Even ordinary people who were not standing on the city tower could clearly see the strange image of the pig-faced monster.

This guy looked so terrifying, and the power on his body was so huge. He was like an ancient demon god outside the city. What was even more terrifying was that there was more than one powerful figure.

Just as everyone was feeling such fear and despair, a lonely but determined figure stood in the sky.

“Who is that?”

“That’s Young Master Li!”

“That’s right, it’s Young Master Li who saved us in the past. He’s back now!”

“It’s really Young Master Li. Young Master Li will definitely save us this time!”

They all looked up at the man in the sky. The man’s slender back was so firm as he stood in front of the thick rebels.

“City Lord, shouldn’t we do something else while Young Master Li is stalling for time? Should we prepare to completely strengthen the city’s defense and activate the third shield? The other two shields are about to collapse!”

Ye Qiluo looked at Li Yuanqing in the sky in a daze. At this moment, someone suddenly suggested.

Although Hall Master Wang did not understand, he had heard his good friend say one or two words. This third defense had to be able to defend both inside and outside. Moreover, it could not be closed for a short period of time after it was activated. Otherwise, it would be very difficult to activate it again.

As long as that was the case, wouldn’t Li Yuanqing be locked outside?

Li Yuanqing was trying his best to save their lives outside. Wasn’t it a little too much to lock Li Yuanqing outside at a time like this? He hurriedly stopped the Great General. “Great General, you can’t do that. Young Master Li is still outside…”

The Great General stared at him coldly. “What do you know? Since Young Master Li has the strength to block these people outside, he will definitely be able to protect himself. At this time, we just have to protect our lives. We don’t have to think too much about other things.”

“That won’t do. Young Master Li is struggling outside and might need our support at any time. If we activate this, Young Master Li won’t be able to enter. What if he’s exhausted and needs to rest for a while? Where will he go?”

The Great General still looked determined. “If even Young Master Li can’t hold on and wants to escape to the city, I’m afraid these rebels are far stronger than we can imagine. They’re not something we can resist.”

When the other generals heard his words, they felt that it made sense and hurriedly said, “It can be said that Young Master Li has bought us such precious time. We must strengthen this defense to the extreme. Young Master Li had come and stall time for us. If other aspects are broken through, Young Master Li will be attacked from both sides. At that time, our crimes will be even greater.”

“I agree with the Great General. For the sake of Young Master Li, we should quickly erect the third defense. Only after the third shield is completely propped up can our Rong City be considered absolutely safe. Otherwise, we can only wait for death. Look, the other aspects are about to collapse.”

Many of them stood on the side with Hall Master Wang. They also supported waiting for the time being. At the very least, they could not let Young Master Li, who had saved their lives, be cut off and blocked.

The two sides could not come to an agreement, and the final decision would fall on Ye Qiluo.

Ye Qiluo looked at Li Yuanqing, who was standing in the sky. A thick shield had condensed beside Li Yuanqing. It was very solid, almost corporeal.

At this moment, the expression on the pig-faced monster’s face was no longer as relaxed as before. He looked at Li Yuanqing opposite him with a solemn expression. He did not expect this little fellow to be so powerful.

Just now, he thought that this human had come to die. According to the intelligence, hadn’t that powerful enemy been lured away? Why was he here now?

He looked at Li Yuanqing suspiciously. He felt that Li Yuanqing looked more and more like the fellow in the rumors.

It was just a young kid with an unfathomable cultivation level. Moreover, he looked handsome and could have such strength at such a young age. It seemed like there was no one else. Could it be him?

The pig-faced monster was a little surprised. If they had the strength to fight Li Yuanqing directly, they would not have to go through so much trouble to lure him away.

However, from the looks of it, this person was too powerful, so he could not attack directly. He could only watch as Li Yuanqing’s aura became stronger and stronger. Instead, he became timid and did not know what to do.

Therefore, the two sides were in a stalemate. Li Yuanqing seemed to be brewing some plans, but he was not sure.

After thinking for a moment, the pig-faced monster had already sent a message to invite reinforcements. No matter what, he had to call his brothers over first. At that time, everyone would gather together. Even if they could not gain the upper hand against this fellow, they would most likely be able to survive.

As he calculated, the overall situation stabilized for the time being, and the argument on the city tower had an outcome.

Ye Qiluo looked at Li Yuanqing’s back in a daze and said indifferently, “Open the third defensive shield. Take advantage of this opportunity.”

“But, City Lord, if we really activate it, then Young Master Li…”

At this moment, the Great General couldn’t care less. As soon as Ye Qiluo finished speaking, he waved his hand in high spirits and ordered.

“Men, quickly send someone to spread the news. The City Lord has ordered the third layer of the defensive array to be activated immediately. Everyone in Rong City will defend for a month!”

As long as the third layer of defense shield was activated, it would be at least half a month. Their one month was a relatively stable plan.

Hall Master Wang looked at the Great General and the others with a livid expression. He also looked at Ye Qiluo in confusion. The City Lord clearly had such a good relationship with Young Master Li.

Moreover, Li Yuanqing had a good temper and was so strong. He could be said to have taken good care of Rong City. At such a critical moment, he could still rush over in time to save them. Why did the City Lord have to forget his past kindness? Wasn’t she sending Li Yuanqing to his death by rejecting Young Master Li and letting him face the army alone?

Hall Master Wang wanted to fight for it again, but he could not say anything.

However, at this moment, Ye Qiluo suddenly took off her cloak and armor and placed them neatly on the ground.
