Cultivation: From Servant to Revered Immortal-Chapter 230 - 160: Self-Destruct!

The West City Wall, people gathered together.

Master White Cloud and Master Jin Hong sat together, discussing something,

while Zhou Xun kept thinking about the battle during the day, lost in thought.

"Daoist Jin Hong, we owe you and your efforts today; otherwise, our White Cloud Immortal City would certainly have been overwhelmed!"

Recalling the battle during the day, Master White Cloud sighed.

"We are both human cultivators of Xui Country; standing against the demon beasts is simply our duty, Daoist Brother, there’s no need for such words!

"Judging from today’s magical combat, this group of demon beasts is formidable, and that we managed to hold out today is truly a stroke of fortune!"

"The days to come will undoubtedly be more arduous!"

"Let’s hope the reinforcements arrive soon!"

Master Jin Hong had withstood a day-long bombardment from the Dazzling Wave Demon King today, suffering considerable injuries.

"You’ve had a tough day, Daoist Jin Hong!" Master White Cloud expressed his gratitude.

Although he knew that Master Jin Hong had his own purposes for coming, without them, the White Cloud Immortal City would have certainly fallen today.

Therefore, his gratitude was sincere.

"Master, this disciple suddenly thought of a question. Today, the demon beasts didn’t break through the city walls in their attack!"

"Might they attack from a different direction tomorrow?"

"In the other three directions, there are only Foundation Establishment disciples like us; if they attack with full force, I’m afraid we won’t be able to hold them off!"

At that moment, Zhou Xun’s voice suddenly emerged.

Master White Cloud had been speaking with Master Jin Hong, so Zhou Xun had not found an opportunity to speak until now, when he hurriedly shared his thoughts.

"That’s exactly what I was about to say!" Master Jin Hong, having heard Zhou Xun’s words, showed an appreciative expression.

"We concentrated our forces on the West City Wall, barely holding it. Now that the demon beasts have temporarily retreated,

"But the other three directions have been left empty, so tonight we must disperse our forces and guard all around!"

"If so, why don’t we stay at the center of the city, with Bo’an and the five Fake Pill Masters defending the four city walls? If the demon beasts attack, we can immediately support them!"

Master White Cloud suggested.

"Sounds good!"

Master Jin Hong nodded.

Immediately, Fake Pill Cultivators were assigned to guard each of the four city walls: East, South, West, and North.

The West City Wall, having just undergone a fierce battle, was assigned two cultivators.

Liu Bo’an was placed in charge of the South City Wall, an area he had previously defended.

...

Outside the city, after the demon beasts retreated, several Great Demons quickly gathered together.

"I never would have guessed there were so many high-tier cultivators in this human city. With that Defense Array supporting them, they could withstand us!"

Reflecting on the magical combat of the day, the Hu Yu Demon King could not help but sigh.

"Hu Yu, why do you elevate others and undermine our own power? Their ability to hold out today was merely a matter of luck,"

"I have an idea: with four city walls, we can attack from any direction. Why not change our attack direction tonight,

"The humans won’t have time to mobilize their forces, and we might break through in one swift move!"

The Huang Yuan Demon King calmly proposed.

"That’s a good strategy; let’s do as you say!" The Qing Yu Demon King nodded in agreement.

Quickly, the five Great Demons concealed their forms and retreated rapidly, making a large circuit to reach the South City Wall, where Liu Bo’an was stationed.

...

At the South City Wall, Liu Bo’an stood atop the gate tower, quietly gazing into the distance.

He knew that Master White Cloud had sent him here specifically to guard against surprise attacks by demon beasts.

"Let’s hope we can hold on until the Cloud Light Sect’s reinforcements arrive. But even if they do, and we succeed in repelling the Beast Tide,

"By then, White Cloud Immortal City will likely suffer heavy losses!"

Liu Bo’an sighed.

Years ago, he had been schemed against by the Cloud Light Sect, failing to form a True Pill at the last moment. Yet now, he was fighting alongside them,

He himself couldn’t quite describe this feeling. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

As his thoughts drifted, suddenly, from the direction of the North City Wall, a massive Fireball burst high into the air!

A tremendous "boom" followed shortly after.

"They have actually launched their attack!"

Liu Bo’an was taken aback.

This was their pre-arranged signal; if the demon beasts attacked from that direction, the Blast Flame Talisman would be triggered.

"This is bad!"

At that moment, Master White Cloud and Master Jin Hong, resting on the rooftop of Cyan Ape Hall, saw it too, exclaiming in shock.

"South City Wall!"

Immediately transforming into two streams of Spirit Light, they flew rapidly towards the West City Wall.

Just as Liu Bo’an was about to get up to support the North City Wall, he noticed a shadow flickering in the distance.

"What’s that?"

Liu Bo’an was startled.

Due to cultivating a Pupil Technique, his vision far surpassed that of cultivators of the same tier.

He immediately activated his spell, and his eyes soon emitted a faint glow.

The distant hint of a shadow became clearer.

"Isn’t that the Cyan Snake from daytime?"

Looking closer, he saw a White Fox and a Giant Bear beside it.

"This is a classic diversion tactic!"

Liu Bo’an instantly understood the demon beasts’ strategy.

Without hesitation, he tapped his waist to retrieve a Tier Two High-Grade Blast Flame Talisman, throwing it into the sky.

"Boom!"

A massive Fireball exploded in the sky instantly.

At that moment, Master White Cloud was swiftly heading towards the North City Wall when he suddenly heard the sound of a Blast Flame Talisman behind him.

"They’re attacking in two places!"

Master White Cloud was momentarily stunned but quickly understood the demon beasts’ intention.

"No, it’s a diversion!"

"Quick, head for the South City Wall!" Master White Cloud shouted.

Beside him, Master Jin Hong immediately grasped the situation, changed direction, and raced towards Liu Bo’an’s location.

As Liu Bo’an set off the Blast Flame Talisman, the three demon beasts outside the city also realized their plan had been discovered.

"Lord Qing Yu, what should we do?"

The Fengg Yong Demon King asked.

"Quick, charge!"

Lord Qing Yu commanded coldly, immediately surging forward towards the explosion’s location.

The Fengg Yong Demon King and the Hu Yu Demon King followed.

Their massive demon bodies sprinted across the ground, sending out roaring sounds that alarmed all the cultivators at the South City Wall.

"The demon beasts are coming!"

"Quick, get up the wall and meet the enemy!"

Silhouettes flew out from the buildings below the city wall, standing atop it.

Liu Bo’an took out a Manipulation Command Flag and chanted under his breath.

Then, pointing forward, a beam of Spirit Light shot into the array before him, and instantly, a more stable Defense Magic Shield materialized in front of him, enveloping the entire South City Wall.

The Tier Three demon beasts were incredibly fast, reaching the outside of the South City Wall in just a few breaths.

Seeing the shield rise before them, the Qing Yu Demon King charged at it without hesitation.

The Fengg Yong Demon King and the Hu Yu Demon King did the same.

"Bang—"

Three enormous crashes echoed.

The three Great Demons successively hit the shield.

Cracks spread instantly, and the shield wobbled on the verge of collapse.

One more hit and the shield would undoubtedly shatter!

"The array is about to break!"

Someone cried out.

Once this shield shatters, only a Quasi-Third Tier Defense Restriction will remain, which could never withstand the three-headed Great Demon.

At this time, the Spirit Light of both Masters White Cloud was still several miles away.

Seeing the array about to break in front of him,

Liu Bo’an’s face showed a look of determination as he activated his spell, and a violent aura emanated from him as he swiftly stepped out of the Defense Magic Shield.

Charging towards the three Great Demons.

The Qing Yu Demon King and the others were startled, sensing instantly.

"It’s a..."

"Self-detonation!"

"Run!"

The three Great Demons, disregarding the shield before them, retreated hastily.

Liu Bo’an, however, remained relentless in his pursuit.

"Boom—"

A few breaths later, a loud explosion occurred, accompanied by a brilliant white light.

The entire heavens and earth fell silent in an instant.
