My Fairy Growth System

Liu Sandao also led the Protecting Disciples back to the city to protect the Tianxiang Pavilion disciples in the medical department.

They were very close to the city wall.

When they arrived, several courtyards had already been breached.

A few days ago, when Shen Wanning heard that Yu Qingtan was seriously injured, she wanted to find her, but her request was denied. Fortunately, she also received news that Yu Qingtan had already been treated by the City Lord, so she had to continue working.

The first wave to reach the courtyard where Shen Wanning was located was a group of long-armed Demon Apes. They climbed up the surrounding walls with great agility and jumped into the courtyard to launch their attack.

The first to suffer were the Qi Cultivation novices lying on the ground, unconscious due to the influence of the Monkey-faced Eagles.

The long-armed Demon Apes smashed their fists on the heads of these cultivators, then reached in and stuffed the blood-mingled brain matter into their mouths.

The girls screamed in terror at the horrifying scene, but no one paid any attention to comfort them.

Song Zhenkai, along with the guards and lightly wounded, was engaged in a fierce battle with the long-armed Demon Apes.

Song Zhenkai held a green cauldron-shaped magic artifact, both offensive and defensive, from which he could also shoot fireballs.

However, fighting alone against two late-stage First Stage long-armed Demon Apes, he was just managing to hold his ground.

Shen Wanning bit her silver teeth tightly, holding the Qiushui Sword, ready to attack at any moment.

At that moment, a long-armed Demon Ape leapt down from a tree and charged straight at Shen Wanning.

Just as Shen Wanning was about to cast a spell and use her sword to attack, the long-armed Demon Ape suddenly had a cramp in its hind leg, then fell straight to the ground.

Its head faced downward, and it happened to hit the most vulnerable part of its skull, the back of its head, on the edge of a step. It convulsed twice and then lay still.

Qi Yu, Lin Qiushuang, and others on guard were also stunned.

That worked?

Fortunately, at that moment, a streak of green sword light appeared and sliced into the group of long-armed Demon Apes.

It was Song Zhenbo leading a dozen or so Song family cultivators to the rescue.

With the addition of this fresh force, the long-armed Demon Apes were quickly slaughtered to the last.

After all, they were numerous but only had two at the late First Stage.

However, just after the long-armed Demon Apes were eradicated, a swarm of Green-Waisted Demon Bees arrived at the courtyard.

The buzzing of nearly a thousand Demon Bees made everyone in the courtyard tremble in soul and spirit, and the leading Green-Waisted Demon Bee, as thick as a man’s thigh and emanating a Second Stage aura, also made Song Zhenbo’s heart sink.

Taking a deep breath, Song Zhenbo took out an elixir, ready to swallow it and fight desperately.

At that moment, red flashes appeared in the sky, and drops of fiery light rained down upon the swarm of Green-Waisted Demon Bees.

Second Stage Rain of Fire Technique.

The figure from the outside courtyard, perched in a large tree, was none other than Fu Nian.

It turned out that after the chaos with the beasts in the city on a previous day, Fu Nian had secretly sought out Yu Qingtan, planning to covertly protect her through the beast tide to repay the debt of being saved.

Yu Qingtan didn’t refuse, but when she volunteered to deal with the Monkey-faced Eagles, she asked him to look after Shen Wanning, given that there were many Foundation Establishment Cultivators where she was going, and it wouldn’t be convenient for Fu Nian to follow.

After Yu Qingtan was injured, he learned that she had been taken into Tianxiang Pavilion and continued to stay on guard here.

When the Green-Waisted Demon Bees came into contact with the fiery light, their bodies burst into intense flames and quickly turned to ash.

That Second Stage Green-Waisted Demon Bee, being larger in size, got hit with many fiery lights despite trying to dodge, and immediately shrieked, a green mist appearing around it in an attempt to stop the fire from burning.

Song Zhenbo would not miss such a golden opportunity. With a flash of his figure, the green long sword in his hand erupted with light as he made slanting cuts to the left and right, attacking the Second Stage Green-Waisted Demon Bee.

Wood Escape Technique, Green Wood Sword Technique.

The Second Stage Demon Bee had no choice but to flap its wings to dodge, but the flames that couldn’t be suppressed on its body severely affected its strength and speed.

After two rounds, the Green-Waisted Demon Bee could no longer evade, so it shot out a pitch-black stinger, aiming at Song Zhenbo who had leaped up with his sword, striking down from mid-air.

Song Zhenbo’s offensive remained unchanged, his left hand slapping out a talisman while a green shield took form simultaneously.

"Pfft~" Song Zhenbo’s long sword chopped halfway into the head of the Green-Waisted Demon Bee, and he too was knocked to the ground by the impact of the stinger.

Fortunately, with the triple protection of the Wooden Shield Technique, an amulet, and his magical robe, Song Zhenbo was not seriously harmed.

"Thank you, senior, for lending a hand!"

Fu Nian did not respond.

Song Zhenbo then led his people to eradicate the remnant Green-Waisted Demon Bees.

At this moment, the third wave of demonic beasts also arrived at this place.

Five Saber-Toothed Tigers, two of which were at the Second Stage, and the other three were in the late First Stage.

Amidst the roars of the tigers, Song Zhenbo and everyone inside the courtyard couldn’t help trembling, with some people pinning their hopes on the Foundation Establishment senior who had just made a move.

Yet even Fu Nian appeared solemn, as facing top-tier demonic beasts like Saber-Toothed Tigers, he too found it difficult to take on two at once.

Just as the Saber-Toothed Demon Tigers were about to burst into the courtyard, five white beams of varying thickness suddenly descended from the sky, each striking the heads of the five Saber-Toothed Tigers.

"Roar~ Awooo~"

Amidst the screams, the five large Saber-Toothed Tigers fell to the ground, their heads spilling blood mixed with white substance from the large holes.

At the same time, across various locations in Suichuan Immortal City, beams of white light fell, breaking the dark night sky, like a dazzling light show.

Some demonic beasts were about to bite down on the defenseless, unconscious cultivators on the ground, some were carrying out beastly acts on female cultivators who were not particularly beautiful, and some were launching fierce attacks on the buildings’ protective arrays...

But the moment the Five Elements Extinction Divine Light descended, all demonic beasts were unable to dodge, hitting their vital spots with precision, even the fastest Sky-Rending Eagle.

They might be fast, but not faster than light.

Soon, the howls of the demonic beasts gradually subsided.

However, what followed was not the cheers of victory from the cultivators, but voices of pain and mourning.

In the courtyard where Shen Wanning was, everyone also felt a surge of joy for surviving the ordeal, then deep sorrow ensued.

Apart from the corpses of the demonic beasts, more than a hundred cultivators lost their lives to the two waves of the beast’s assault in the courtyard.

Once the demonic beasts broke through the defenses, they immediately launched a heavy attack on the nodes of the array, and by the time the array was restored, about ten percent of the nodes had been damaged.

However, the Great Five Elements Qiankun Formation had more than three hundred nodes, with its own mysteries, and the damaged nodes only caused its power to decrease by about twenty percent.

Even as the formation was restored, demonic beasts continued to flood into the city from the breaches in the defenses. Some Major Demons of the Second Stage sensed something was wrong, but it was too late to stop it.

The nearly five hundred thousand demonic beasts that poured into the city were caught in a situation akin to locking the door to beat the dogs, and a dense rain of Five Elements Extinction Divine Light descended, annihilating these beasts.

Hu Kaishan and other Heavenly Demons, noticing such changes in the battlefield, gave the order to retreat with grim expressions, also halting their attack on Ouyang Wenjian.

They couldn’t understand why, despite having tied up Ouyang Wenjian, the formation was still able to recover, and moreover, someone else was able to control the formation and unleash the deadly move of the Five Elements Extinction Divine Light.

To their knowledge, the only controller of the Protective City Formation was the City Lord, Ouyang Wenjian.

In this battle, the demonic beasts suffered losses of more than eight hundred thousand, but Suichuan Immortal City also suffered heavy damages after being ravaged by the beasts, with over a hundred thousand cultivators dead and countless injured.

As dawn approached, the morning sun shone over Suichuan Immortal City, now filled with ruins and rubble, while the cultivators were immersed in the agony of losing their family and friends.
