Chapter 143: Meeting an Old Friend Again
"City Lord, should we rescue those three cultivators?"
The person who spoke was named Bai Yutian, the ancestor of a foundation-building family, and also the first foundation-building cultivator to join Yongze City. Now he has reached the fourth level of foundation-building, which is already pretty good.
Lu Ya looked at him strangely, not understanding why he could say such a thing.
Lu Dingbo stood aside and said, "Those three people were able to withstand the attack of the demon king for such a long time. Even if they were not golden elixir cultivators, they were the top foundation-building cultivators. Otherwise, they would never have been able to escape from the demon king.
If we go to rescue them, will we rescue them, or will they rescue us?
Besides, you and I are only in the early and middle stages of foundation-building. Facing the demon king, we may be beheaded in one encounter. Is Fellow Daoist Bai willing to be the one who sacrifices himself for others?"
After Lu Dingbo finished speaking, Bai Yutian couldn't help but look embarrassed.
But Lu Dingbo continued to say: "Even if we succeed in rescuing them by chance, our livelihood will be attacked by the demon king or even the beast tide, and we will have to face these three "seniors" whose cultivation is far superior to ours. Who will have the final say in this city? Where should Bai Daoyou's people stay? What do you think, Bai Daoyou?"
After Lu Dingbo finished speaking lightly, Bai Yutian finally reacted, sweating profusely, and secretly regretted why he had just shown his "glorious and upright" side in front of the city lord.
Now not only did he fail to steal the chicken, but he also got into trouble.
Bai Yutian could only smile awkwardly, and then said calmly: "Patriarch Lu is right, I just mentioned it casually, I don't mean anything else."
"Let's see the situation first. If this demon king doesn't come to provoke us, then we will wait and see. If this demon king insists on making things difficult for our Yongze City, then we should be prepared."
Lu Ya's eyes never moved, and his indifferent tone was full of confidence.
He has not experienced the strength of demon king-level monsters.
He also wants to know, with his current cultivation means, to what extent he can do against demon king-level monsters. This bat demon king who came alone may be an opportunity.
Wen Xi is only 1.8 meters tall at this moment, with a thin face, but the blood in his eyes is getting stronger.
Ye Fu of Zhaotian Sword School holds a second-grade superior magic sword, swinging the sword to resist the attack of the purple-winged bat king, while rushing forward frantically on the sword light.
Nie Yuyao, who was proficient in illusion, suffered the least number of attacks from the demon king, so she was relatively relaxed among the three.
The distant Yongze City naturally fell into the eyes of the three people, and they could even see the shadowy figures on the city wall.
The presence of people in the city meant that there was a protective formation, which meant that they could temporarily avoid the pursuit of the demon king behind them, and at least get a certain amount of breathing time.
After a whole day and night of pursuit, even though they were all genius cultivators from various sects, they were already at the end of their ropes, relying on the many elixirs and magic weapons on their bodies to delay time.
Coincidentally, the three of them accelerated at the same time, turning into rainbow light and heading towards Yongze City.
Seeing this, the purple-winged bat king behind him let out a fierce roar, flapped his wings, and his speed also soared.
With a high level of intelligence, it naturally knew that once these human beings escaped into the city, with the protection of the city defense formation, it would basically have no way to kill them.
In the blink of an eye, Nie Yuyao and the other two rushed to the distance of about a thousand meters from the wall of Yongze City. Just as they were about to continue to rush forward, a huge shadow with its back to Yongze City blocked their way.
It was the Purple Winged Bat King.
"Fight hard, only if we get past it can we survive."
Wen Xi said, and his body, which was originally 1.8 meters long, suddenly expanded a circle and turned into a strong man of about two meters. Then, without waiting for Nie Yuyao and the other two, he turned into a blood light and rushed towards the Purple Winged Bat King.
"I am Wen Xi, the son of the Blood Refining Sect. I am carrying out a tight mission under the order of the Demon Killing Alliance. Now I am being hunted by the demon king. Please help us, the city lord of the big city in front, and fight against the demon king together."
Before Wen Xi came into contact with the Purple Winged Bat King, he exhaled and spoke. His loud and steady voice was wrapped in magic power and rolled towards Yongze City.
"It is indeed a cultivator of great power."
On the city wall, everyone's face changed when they heard the words.
After all, they were cultivators of a powerful force. If they let the Blood Refining Sect's son die outside Yongze City, and when the war was over and the Blood Refining Sect knew that they did not save him, they would certainly bear the wrath of the Blood Refining Sect.
And could they bear the wrath of the Blood Refining Sect?
The answer was no.
So everyone turned their eyes to Lu Ya, waiting for his decision.
Who knew that Lu Ya did not even look at the Blood Refining Sect's son, his eyes passed over the Purple Winged Bat King and Ye Fu, and looked at the only female cultivator behind.
Lu Ya never thought that he would meet Nie Yuyao here.
Before he saw her, Lu Ya could still treat the things in the secret realm as air, and even tease her a few times.
But when he really saw Nie Yuyao, he found that the things he had forgotten quickly appeared in his mind, so that he was a little dazed.
But in just a moment, he returned to normal.
He said calmly: "Don't worry, first watch the battle between the disciples of the great forces." Seeing him say this, everyone turned their attention back to the battlefield outside the city. Li Shouan moved his lips twice, but in the end he didn't say anything. After Wen Xi shouted angrily, he didn't care about the city not far away. He didn't hope for rescue from the city, and said this just to pave the way for entering the city later.
If he didn't announce his identity first, and was blocked by the other party's city defense formation when he flew to the city, he would be in a dilemma when facing this purple-winged bat.
Although he had seen the third-level medicine king in the sect, facing the purple-winged bat with a wingspan of 20 meters at this moment still made Wen Xi feel suffocated.
He was chased before, and now he was fighting desperately. Even with his perfect foundation and the sect's top skills, he couldn't hold on.
The purple-winged bat opened its mouth, and an invisible sound wave was emitted from its mouth towards Wen Xi.
The blood light in Wen Xi's eyes became more and more amazing. He decisively used the Blood Refining Sect's signature skill, the Blood Sea Secret Technique. His burly body turned into a river of blood in an instant, and he moved like a blood-colored streak in the air.
Even if the sound waves were added to his body, it only caused ripples in the blood river, but no more damage.
The blood river was like a silk thread, under the control of magic power, like a sharp arrow pulled straight, drawing a "Z"-shaped trajectory, passing the purple-winged bats, and shooting towards Yongze City.
The thousand-meter distance passed in the blink of an eye. Outside the city wall, the blood river turned into Wen Xi again, but at this moment, Wen Xi was only about 1.7 meters tall.
"Hurry up and open the formation, let me in."
Wen Xi looked up at the crowd on the top of the city and roared almost gritting his teeth.
If he hadn't stopped in time just now, he might have hit the city defense formation head-on. If the formation counterattacked, he would have been skinned alive.
Everyone, remember to vote!
