The other side.
Below the city tower of Tai City, near the area beside the lake where the seven wolf demons used to rest.
Marshal Yue, Instructor Han, Old Man Shi, Shi Caifeng, Wei Youdao, and mbers of the Xu Family and Fang Family were carefully searching.
The ground was covered with the carcasses of beasts and strange creatures, with blood, innards, and fur scattered everywhere. Nurous stray dogs and crows lingered, indulging in the feast of corpses.
A mont later, a shout of anger and surprise erupted from a Full Cycle mber of the Fang Family.
"Patriarch!"
The group was startled and rushed over.
On the ground lay a familiar corpse, with only a sliver of skin connecting the neck to the head, and a silver thin sword tightly gripped in the hand.
The originally moon-white robe was stained red with blood, and an expensive white jade hairpin was inserted in the hair bun. Who else could it be but Patriarch Fang?
"Patriarch Fang was murdered. Who did it?"
From the wounds, it was clearly not the work of any strange creature.
Marshal Yue’s face was grave as he exchanged a glance with Instructor Han, a terrible suspicion taking seed in their hearts.
"It must be Liu Yi from the Extre Fist Sect!" The Full Cycle mber of the Fang Family’s Qi-Blood surged with killing intent.
"Boy, you can eat recklessly, but you can’t speak recklessly." Wei Youdao squinted his eyes, at so point already wearing silver boxing gloves.
Shi Caifeng stood beside him, clearly indicating her stance.
Plus, the scruffy bearded Martial Artist, Old Man Shi.
The Full Cycle mber of the Fang Family’s face changed, not daring to speak further.
"Chief of the Escort, Chief of the Escort!"
Just then, a grieving voice cried out nearby.
Escort Leader Cai was holding a head with wide-open eyes, sobbing uncontrollably: "Chief of the Escort, Chief of the Escort, you were just twenty days shy of your seventieth birthday.
I have already prepared a grand banquet for you, but didn’t expect, didn’t expect..."
Suddenly, he lifted his head, eyes filled with overwhelming resentnt: "To have the power to kill him..."
"Only Old Master Xu." Wei Youdao calmly stated.
"You shut..." Escort Leader Cai couldn’t finish cursing, his expression changed, and he abruptly turned his head to look into the distance.
’Boom, boom, boom!’
Marshal Yue, Instructor Han, Old Man Shi, and the others had already activated their lightweight skills, ’swish, swish,’ flying into the air to check the situation.
"This is bad, the beast horde is coming again!"
"Quick, retreat into the city and inform the City Lord of the news!"
The group landed on the ground, urging the others.
"No, our Old Master hasn’t been found yet!" mbers of the Xu Family looked anxious, panic-stricken at seeing the two Martial Artists’ corpses.
"Liu Shu and Liu Yi haven’t been found either!" Shi Caifeng shouted angrily.
"They are not here." Old Man Shi pointed to the ground, where there was a deep footprint, at least five or six inches into the ground.
Hundreds of ters away, there was another similar footprint.
They noticed this when they were in the air just a mont ago.
"Liu Yi and Old Master Xu must have gone in that direction." Old Man Shi pointed to the southeast.
That was the direction away from the city tower.
As for why they moved away, everyone had a tacit understanding, with a vague suspicion looming in their hearts.
mbers of the Extre Fist Sect and Xu Family exchanged wary glances, each keeping their distance.
No matter who lived or died between Lou Yi and Old Master Xu, the two families would surely beco mortal enemies.
"Dad, will Liu Yi be alright?"
On the way back to the city tower, Shi Caifeng asked worriedly.
"Xu Fangling’s skill has already reached the Transformation Realm, and even I’m not confident facing him." Old Man Shi couldn’t help shaking his head.
The implied aning was clear to Shi Caifeng.
Her eyes reddened, and she said resentfully: "If Brother Shu really died by his hands, I will definitely avenge this!"
"I won’t help you." Old Man Shi stated.
"I don’t need your help, once I break through to Martial Artist, I’ll kill him as easily as slaughtering a chicken!" Shi Caifeng was filled with enormous fighting spirit.
The implication being that once she broke through to Martial Artist, she could easily kill Tai City’s top fighter, pinnacle Martial Artist Old Master Xu.
If others knew, they would surely scold her for being arrogant and presumptuous.
But Old Man Shi did not refute her, instead saying evenly: "We’ll talk about it when you break through."
The group returned to the city tower, finding the walls heavily guarded.
It turned out City Lord Li had already detected the beast horde’s movent, and had urgently issued defense orders to the archers and martial artists of the major forces.
’Boom, boom, boom!’
Countless ferocious beasts and birds of prey once again gathered below the city tower.
But for so reason, they did not launch an attack, quietly waiting for sothing.
’Boom, boom, boom!’
In the distance, the sound of the earth shaking and mountains trembling was heard once again.
Everyone on the city tower saw it and their faces changed.
The beasts rushing there included many species rarely seen in Tai City, such as black goats, green lizards, and blood-colored giant bulls.
"Blood bulls? Are those beasts from the Jiang City swarm?" soone speculated on the city tower.
"Impossible. Why would Jiang City’s beast group co toward us?" Most people were skeptical.
"Not good, look in the sky!" soone shouted in terror.
Everyone looked up, and their faces turned pale.
A striking bright white spot in the scorching sun was flying rapidly toward the Tai City tower.
In just a few breaths, it evolved from a pea-sized white dot into a concrete gigantic entity.
It was a white giant tiger with wings!
Its body length exceeded seven or eight ters, and its blood-red wings on its back covered the sky and sun.
Its eyes were bright like two little suns, flashing a dazzling cold light that made people’s hearts palpitate, as if it had walked out of an ancient myth!
Then, they saw the Winged Tiger open its blood basin-like mouth.
An arc-shaped azure light flew out from its mouth suddenly.
In the split second before anyone could react.
The azure light, which was at least a ter high, flew to the city tower, and in an instant, cut through more than a dozen people standing side by side!
They didn’t even have ti to scream before they were all split into two halves!
And the azure light continued to speed toward the city wall behind.
It left a long, hollow, arc-shaped thin seam on the wall, which was at least five or six inches thick, revealing its impressive power!
"What on earth is this!"
"Damn, could it be the Beast King?"
"Shoot it dead with arrows!"
"Quick, use the catapult!"
’Swish swish swish!’
’Whoosh whoosh whoosh!’
Endless arrows and stones surged toward the Winged Tiger like a tide.
However, the Winged Tiger’s face showed human-like disdain.
It opened its blood basin-like mouth.
"Roar!"
The visible white sound wave, centered on itself, spread forward frantically in a three-dinsional wave form.
Sending arrows and stones flying in all directions, many even rebounded to the city tower, hitting many people, accompanied by screams and blood and flesh splattering.
Not a single arrow or stone fell on its body!
"Could it be..." seeing the invincible power of the Winged Tiger.
City Lord Li’s pupils instantly enlarged, as if he had thought of sothing, and his face showed fear.
"Beast, taste my staff!" Instructor Han shouted angrily.
He held a silver Profound Iron whistle, and his whole body soared to the sky, with his clothes fluttering, flying to the side of the Winged Tiger within a few breaths.
The whistle wrapped in dense white True Strength, slamd down towards the Winged Tiger’s head fiercely!
With the full force of this strike, he was confident that even Old Master Xu wouldn’t dare to take it head-on if encountered.
"Co back!" City Lord Li shouted from behind.
But it was already too late.
The Winged Tiger raised its paw, as large as a stone mill and faintly glowing azure, and with a ’whoosh,’ swatted towards Instructor Han.
’Bang!’
A human figure flew out in an arc, ultimately landing on the city tower, crushing several unlucky archers into pulp.
Instructor Han’s arms were broken, his face twisted, and he lay on the ground spitting mouthfuls of blood, seemingly more about to die than to live.
To instantly kill a Martial Artist with one attack; how terrible is this!
Marshal Yue and Old Man Shi, initially intending to help Instructor Han, only felt a deep chilling sensation rise in their hearts.
Seeing the Winged Tiger continue to open its blood basin-like mouth.
City Lord Li hesitated no more.
He took out a fiery red token from his bosom and slamd it into the central groove of so pattern on the city wall.
With a ’click,’ it perfectly matched.
City Lord Li shot a small stream of blood onto the token from his fingertip, while chanting: "Heaven and earth infinity, Profound Gate True Skill, Red Fla heed order, burn evil and subdue demons..."
In the blink of an eye, the special runes engraved at intervals on the city tower all began to shine brightly!
A massive semi-spherical pale red transparent light shield suddenly enveloped the inner section of the Tai City tower.
