Chapter 140: Not a Fairy, but a Demoness!
The fox demon outside the city also noticed the changes and sneered, “You little brat inside, do you really think you can escape unscathed?”
“You gave us too little time. We couldn’t catch her, so we had to resort to this.” Lin Fengmian said solemnly.
“Since you can’t catch her, I’ll kill all the people in town and force her to come out! Kill!” The fox demon said coldly.
She let out a ferocious howl, and a massive fox silhouette appeared behind her, joining her in a skyward roar.
The army of beasts that had been waiting outside the city instantly turned into streaks of light and charged towards Ning City. Thousands upon thousands of beasts surged toward Ning City like a flood.
Some were flying creatures, while others were land beasts, mountain spirits, and wild animals. Although their shapes were different, they all exuded a fierce aura.
Bear leopards, tiger lions, elephants, and packs of wolves all appeared, charging forward with deafening roars.
Huge flying creatures drew eerie trajectories in the night sky, flapping their massive wings, their shadows blocking out the sun.
“Draw your bows! Prepare the city defense crossbows!” Zhao Heng calmly gave the order.
The city guards on the walls tensely drew their bows and aimed at the distant beasts. Torches were thrown into the sky, turning the night orange.
Arrows and flames intertwined, illuminating the determined expressions of the warriors on the wall.
Many of the beasts fell into the traps dug outside the city, but most of them still charged towards Ning City, only to collide with the barrier outside the city.
Many beasts were knocked unconscious by the powerful and invisible barrier, bounced back by the counterforce, and some were killed on the spot.
“Pour oil, fire arrows!”
The defenders of the city, under Zhao Heng’s command, drew their bows and fired, creating a sea of fire that lit up the dark night sky.
Some weaker beasts were consumed by the sea of fire, their roars and screams echoing incessantly.
In the sky, various flying beasts swooped down, as if all the birds and beasts within a thousand miles had been driven.
The overwhelming flood of beasts was wiped out by the formation, and showers of blood and flesh rained down on the city, causing many to scream in shock.
In the tense atmosphere, the citizens of the city huddled in their homes, doors and windows tightly shut, their faces filled with fear.
They could hear the roars and sounds of battle outside, unable to imagine that the beasts might breach the city’s defenses and bring an unbearable disaster.
Inside the city lord’s mansion, Wen Qinlin stood in the air, her feet glowing with light, fully controlling the formation disk in front of her.
As the master of the formation, she could not leave the city lord’s mansion, so she had to expend the greatest amount of spiritual energy and bear the greatest impact.
“Everyone, the outside depends on you!”
Liu Mei stretched lazily, her seductive figure attracting a lot of attention.
“Who would have thought that a group of demonesses would have to take on the responsibility of saving the people? Is that considered neglecting our duties?”
Lin Fengmian secretly swallowed, coughed, and said seriously, “No, this is accumulating good deeds.”
Mo Ruyu chuckled, “Good deeds my ass, I just want a taste of you. Remember our agreement, come back and make me feel good.”
Wang Yanran couldn’t help but cover her mouth and giggle as she looked at Lin Fengmian, “Sister, I want a taste as well. Little brother, how about giving us a chance?”
Liu Mei gave Lin Fengmian a seductive look and said with a mischievous smile, “I’ll make the decision for him. After that, the five of us will drain him together. Xia Yunxi, do you have any objections?”
Xia Yunxi’s face turned red and she hesitated, “I… I have objections, I won’t participate.”
Lin Fengmian immediately turned into a hiding person and said unhappily, “Senior Sister, please forgive me.
Liu Mei gathered her long hair with both hands, tied it up, and casually said, “No way, just wait! Sisters, let’s go!”
Mo Ruyu blew a kiss at Lin Fengmian and said, “Wait for me to come back and spoil you, okay!”
After the few women said their shocking words, they mounted their magical tools and turned into streaks of light, each heading toward one of the four city gates.
Zhou Xiaoping, unusually, did not curse them as demons. She had discovered that these demoness were not as vile as they seemed.
In a way, they were quite sincere and straightforward, far better than the seemingly virtuous but truly despicable Huang Long.
Her eyes became incredibly complex as she stared at the raging beasts in front of her.
The demon slaying mission she had once eagerly anticipated was now unfolding before her, but at the cost of the lives of the entire city’s inhabitants.
If they failed, the entire city might be doomed, which gave her a new perspective on killing demons.
Lin Fengmian patted her shoulder and smiled, “Don’t put too much pressure on yourself, trust me!”
Seeing his relaxed smile, just like before, Zhou Xiaoping was also influenced by his calmness and nodded, “Alright, be careful!”
She followed them, flying in the direction they had agreed upon.
Their mission was to protect the Lin family and put out fires throughout the city. Wherever the defenses were struggling, she would go to relieve the guards.
If any beasts managed to breach the city walls, it was her responsibility to eliminate them, making sure that no area was neglected.
By the time Liu Mei and the others arrived at the front lines, the city guards were firing arrows at the beasts, but the arrows did little damage to the thick-skinned creatures.
Just as they began to panic, they saw several celestial beauties flying from the horizon.
These beauties, with their flowing robes, unleashed a variety of magnificent spells with their soft cries, causing the beasts to either die or be severely injured upon contact.
Liu Mei gently strummed her zither, and the melodious notes floated through the air like graceful butterflies, soothing their fearful hearts.
At the same time, wind blades shot out with each strum, killing one beast after another.
Chen Qingyan, like a graceful celestial maiden, performed the sword seal, her sword light flowing like water as it swooped between the beasts, killing them.
Zhou Xiaoping waved her hands and chanted incantations, and with a powerful throw, countless talismans scattered like flowers from a celestial being.
Each talisman touched a beast and triggered various spells, driving the beasts back and filling the air with the sounds of thunder and lightning.
The other women also displayed their unique abilities, interweaving zither music, sword light, thunder, wind blades, and frost in a dazzling display of attacks that effectively blocked the beasts’ advance.
Under their assault, the beasts’ offensive gradually weakened, and the guards took over, finishing off the wounded beasts with renewed vigor.
The soldiers in the city cheered, their spirits lifted as they shouted in excitement.
“Great, the celestial beauties are here to help us!”
“Am I dreaming? They really are celestial beauties!”
…
Mo Ruyu giggled, “We’re not celestial beauties, we’re demons!”
Wang Yanran smiled on the other side, “You don’t need to thank me, thank the Lin family in the city.”
But at that moment, even true celestial beauties would not have been as revered in their eyes as these few women.
However, the battle was far from over, and the beasts continued to rush toward the city walls.
Everyone understood that if the Seven Stars Accompanying the Moon Array in the sky were broken, the beasts could break through the defenses and enter the city.
