Zhang Ling flew with all his strength and returned to Feiyun City in a quarter of an hour. He went directly back to the section of the city wall he was responsible for. He looked around and saw that a large number of cultivators and mortals were also busy, obviously these people had also received orders and started preparing for battle.
Looking at the busy crowd preparing for battle, Zhang Ling found that besides the large and small offensive and defensive spiritual instruments on the city wall, there were also many huge stones, long iron swords, wooden thorns and other things piled up.
These things were also unusual, and there were faint spiritual light fluctuations on them when sensed with divine sense. Obviously, they had also been carefully refined.
Moreover, half of the people in the mortal team were holding knives, swords and other tools. There were also traces of spiritual light flashing on them. Although it was not strong, these knives and swords were all low-level spiritual instruments, and they were all equipped with a low-grade spiritual stone.
Mortals cannot sense spiritual energy and cannot cultivate cultivation methods. However, they can also use these low-level spiritual instruments to exert some spell effects. Of course, the spiritual power fluctuations released by those large offensive and defensive spiritual instruments are extremely strong, and mortals cannot control them.
Like several kinds of stone balls containing fire spiritual power, when stimulated, they will burst out a strong fire spiritual power impact, and mortals standing next to them may be affected.
Looking at the preparations of these mortals, it seems that the upcoming beast tide must be more dangerous than the first wave. Preparing these low-level spiritual instruments is also to prevent these mortals from having some self-protection ability once the great formation is breached.
As for Qi Refining and Foundation Establishment cultivators, they have also been reorganized and are ready to fight at any time.
Outside the city, the whistling turbid mist storm is getting stronger and stronger. All that can be seen is a dim and yellow color, as if one is in a sandstorm.
In the blink of an eye, more than an hour passed, and there was a constant rumbling sound outside.
Zhang Ling was sitting in a corner of the city wall, conserving his energy. Suddenly, he opened his eyes and saw a dark mass of shadows rapidly approaching ten miles away through the storm.
"It's coming," Zhang Ling whispered to himself, but he did not get up and remained sitting in place.
After a while, the drums and melodious horns sounded on the city wall of Feiyun City, and at the same time, huge pillars of spiritual light rose again.
These light pillars hit the sky and quickly formed a cloud, just like the battle against the first wave of beast tide a few days ago. A large cloud gathered, and thunder rumbled continuously. In the blink of an eye, it was a downpour again.
Having experienced the amazement last time, everyone did not pay too much attention to these scenes this time, and still stared at the situation outside.
This is the power of the formation on Feiyun City. The rain that falls is a spiritual rain transformed from some kind of spiritual spring, which can temporarily suppress the turbid mist.
After the heavy rain washed over, the turbid mist outside decreased a lot, and the things seen in the eyes also became brighter.
After the turbid mist storm weakened, the speed of the beast tide's rush also accelerated a lot, and in a blink of an eye, it was only a few miles away from the city wall.
The sound of horns came, which was the order to attack.
The mortal warrior team took action first, and the small spiritual weapons they controlled shot out various attacks. Then the Qi Refining cultivators and Foundation Establishment cultivators also attacked.
Some of them controlled large instruments and released more powerful attacks.
For a time, spiritual light shone on each section of the city wall, and spiritual cannons, gravity catapults, arrow towers, etc. released rounds of attacks non-stop. Huge stone balls of about 3 meters size fell from the sky, with hundreds of them in one round of attack, killing many low-level wild beasts.
On one section of the city wall, thirty Foundation Establishment cultivators simultaneously urged the command flags in their hands. Golden light flashed above their heads, and a large piece of golden auspicious clouds emerged, covering a hundred meters area in an instant.
Under the command of a gray-robed Golden Core cultivators, this golden cloud turned into a golden light, passed through the formation light curtain, and flew to the top of the beast tide closest to the city wall section.
The golden cloud rolled for a while and expanded to a hundred meters range. Then, golden light swords fell like rain.
The area of hundreds of meters below was immediately shrouded in sword light, instantly killing thousands of low-level wild beasts and clearing a large area.
The roars of howling continued. Even so, compared to the huge number of beast tide, it did not cause much damage to the entire beast group.
On another section of the city wall, a team of Foundation Establishment cultivators, under the command of a Golden Core elder, held up black jade bottles one by one.
These jade bottles were very exquisite, each about several feet in size. The sound of water rushing continued, and large clumps of blue water flowed out of the bottles, gathering in the sky and turning into a huge water dragon more than twenty meters long.
A dragon roar sounded in the ear, and the water dragon rose into the sky and rushed into the beast group. Wherever it passed, all the surrounding water spiritual power was frozen into endless frost, which instantly spread over a large area. All the wild beasts in one area were turned into ice sculptures.
On another section of the city wall, a large piece of green light rose, and round beads flew in the air, rotating rapidly and turning into huge wind clumps to attack.
Every wind clumps that landed in the beast group immediately turned into a large piece of wind blades. Wherever it passed, flesh and blood flew, and low-level wild beasts had no resistance and were divided into piles of minced meat. Even high-level wild beasts would flee in panic if they were hit head-on.
Some people were so nervous that their whole bodies shaking, and they breathed rapidly. Some people's eyes glowed with excitement, revealing a bloodthirsty look. More people were still serious and their minds were irritable.
……
In addition to the rumbling sound from outside the city, the situation inside the city was very different. Feiyun City covers a large area, and the originally relatively prosperous inner city area is now quiet.
Basically no cultivators can be seen on the streets. Only occasionally some elderly low-level cultivators sit at the door of the store, looking at the sky from afar, either with a gloomy face or full of melancholy.
The difference is that the outer city area where mortals originally lived does not seem to be greatly affected. On the contrary, it is more bustling than before. Due to the arrival of the beast tide, some of the mortals on the island have also moved into the city.
On a bustling street, people are moving and lively, and even some children are running and playing. This is completely different from the scene of fighting outside the city.
Of course, not all mortals are like this. Many people are also concerned about the war. In several squares in the city, many people are holding some kind of sacrificial activities.
On an altar, an old priest in gorgeous clothes is dancing with a shaman drum in his hand, chanting. Around the altar, tens of thousands of people are kneeling and praying with their hands clasped together.
Even more people are surrounding the altar, either praying with their hands clasped together, or watching all this with indifferent eyes.
In some tall buildings next to them, many people are also gathering to pay attention to all this. Next to a window on the third floor of a pavilion, two seven- or eight-year-old boys are curiously asking their parents.
"Mother, what are these people doing?"
The mother of the two children is a charming woman in her thirties, touching their little heads and answering. "Lian'er, Huan'er, they are all praying that the immortal masters can defeat the beast tide."
"Then mother, what is a beast tide? What are immortal masters?"
"Mother has never seen a beast tide before. It is said that countless monsters are rushing in and these monsters will kill everyone. Immortal masters are all immortals with great powers, and they are now resisting the beast tide outside the immortal city. You must also pray for the adults."
"Oh, mother, immortal masters are so powerful, then Huan'er wants to be an immortal master too, and fight monsters." The two children learned from the crowds below, holding their hands and pretending to pray, which brought laughter from some people next to them.
"Haha, my son is ambitious. When you grow up a few years older, your father will take you to the Immortal Fate Pavilion in the city to test spiritual roots. As long as you have immortal fate, you can become an immortal master."
The father of the two children is a serious-looking square-faced man, laughing and hugging his two sons.
