Chapter 195 – Li Zixuan and Li Qinghe Strike! Sky-Slicing Sword Draw Shows Its Might! (3000 Words)

“We won!”

“We survived!”

On the city wall, people embraced each other’s shoulders, collectively overlooking the roaring Star Beasts below, their faces beaming with ecstatic smiles.

The night sky cleared as clouds parted to reveal the moon.

Below the city wall.

Dead and injured Star Beasts were everywhere, with severed limbs and carcasses littering the ground, already forming a pool of blood.

The scent of blood drifted,

Lingering in everyone’s nostrils.

“Everyone, don’t let your guard down, prepare to clean up the scene!”

The Commander carried the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles, walking shoulder-to-shoulder with several high-ranking Police Inspectors, a barely concealed smile curling at the corners of his mouth: “After the cleanup, it’s time for everyone to take a vacation and relax.”

“Yes, Commander!”

Two teams of police officers stood at attention and saluted, then dispersed with laughter, the atmosphere noticeably less tense.

Now that the King-level Star Beast was dead,

What remained were just some ordinary low-level Star Beasts.

These wretched creatures couldn’t even pass the Li Family’s city defense formation; after this thermal cleansing, they’d get a taste of something hot, plus Elder Li’s Sword Qi slicing…

Tsk, what is this?

…Roasted meat plated and sliced!

After this entire process, the aroma of meat wafted from below the city wall, making everyone drool with craving long ago!

Who had any intention to stay on guard?!

The Beast Tide had passed!

The news spread among the crowd, almost becoming a consensus as people linked arms, hearty laughter echoing along the city wall.

Surviving a disaster, the shadow of death receded!

“Let’s go, grab something to eat after the Beast Tide? Smelling these beasts—”

“Miss, can I get your contact info?”

“Go ask for an autograph! Elder Li is right there! Looking for a group!”

“…”

“Is it really over?”

Lin Mofeng remained silent, calmly passing through the crowd alone, standing on the battlement as he continued gazing toward the distant Great Li Mountains.

No one paid attention to the outskirts.

But he had an inexplicable sense of crisis.

After stepping into the Grandmaster realm, he had vaguely touched the threshold of Law Power, even if only superficially, it still subtly aligned with the Heavenly Law.

In the obscure workings of heaven and earth, everything drifted and turned.

Lin Mofeng looked up at the starry night sky, vigilant against the roaring Beast Tide below the city.

Just then.

“Grandmaster Lin?”

Someone called from behind him…

Several Star Beast police officers approached, holding paper and pens, stopping in front of him with awkward smiles as they handed him a blank sheet.

“Grandmaster Lin, could you please give us your autograph?”

“Autograph…?”

Hearing this, Lin Mofeng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry, taking the paper and pen, “Right now?”

“Yeah, sorry to trouble you, it’s just that we don’t usually get to see you…”

The Star Beast police officers scratched their heads, somewhat embarrassed: “After today’s city defense battle, we probably won’t see you again in the future. Please don’t mind, we’re just ordinary people…”

“It’s fine.”

Lin Mofeng shook his head, signing as he spoke, “We’re all brothers in city defense.”

“Yeah!”

“Is that all? Any more?”

Lin Mofeng smiled, handing back the signed paper, his gaze leaping over the officers’ shoulders, unintentionally glancing toward the distant mountains.

The moonlight was cold… the mountain forest edges undulated…

Suddenly!

A giant bird-like shadow leaped into view…

Racing rapidly toward the city defense border!

“This is…!”

Seeing this, Lin Mofeng’s pupils constricted sharply, a fierce atmosphere instantly unfolding.

Killing intent erupted violently!

Boom!

The police officer in front of him shuddered in fright on the spot!”Li… Lin… Grandmaster? If you don’t wish to sign…”

“Evacuate the city walls!!!”

Lin Mofeng stared intently at the Black Shadow, ignoring the officer as he tossed aside the signing paper and hovered mid-air, his premonition becoming reality!

The next moment.

His voice thundered across the city walls—

“Everyone be careful!! Enemy approaching from the northwest!! Full alert!”

As his words fell.

It was like an ancient bell tolling in their ears!

All those who had been lax suddenly awoke as if from a dream, turning their gaze uniformly in that direction.

There at the mountain forest’s edge.

A black raptor drew nearer, riding the wind with gathering momentum, rustling the forest leaves. Where it passed, crimson blood floated upward, bones and flesh connecting in series, clashing with the evening breeze.

Eerie, abnormal sounds spread across the wilderness…

The Omen Star hung high in the sky, a strand of red light descending…

“Heaven-born anomaly, ominous light descending—it’s an Emperor-Level Star Beast!”

Lin Mofeng loudly warned everyone.

As his voice faded.

Fear spread like ink rapidly through the crowd. People looked at each other, initially stunned, then immediately felt it was unbelievable.

An Emperor-Level Star Beast?

Appearing in Jianghai?

Wasn’t this already a hell-level Beast Tide?!

Whoosh—

The crowd exploded like tidal waves!

The black roc soared upward, its wings beating to shatter the void, crossing hundreds of feet in an instant until it reached the city wall’s edge, its spread wings blotting out the stars and moon.

Whoosh!

Feathers shot forth like torrential rain, collectively bombarding the starry curtain.

The next moment.

Crack!

Visible spiderweb cracks appeared, rapidly spreading across the surface of the city defense array formation. In the blink of an eye, the formation teetered on the brink, its Star Power unbalanced.

Faint starlight scattered.

“Not good! Increase Star Power output! Join me in reinforcing the formation!”

Seeing this, Li Daoming flipped through the city defense array diagrams, raised his hand to the sky, his Taoist robe rustling in the wind. Several Li Family Elders behind him uniformly raised their hands, striving to maintain the array formation.

The next moment.

Chaos spread among the crowd…

More people cried out in terror, trembling all over, completely consumed by fear.

After all, the premise of this city defense had been based on King-level Star Beast standards, but now an Emperor-Level Star Beast had descended. Under such pressure, how could they possibly survive?

“Don’t panic!”

The Commander frowned deeply at the situation, his deep voice suppressing the crowd’s emotions as he immediately turned to continue issuing orders to the troops.

“Open fire!!”

As the command fell.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

In the night, Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles bloomed!

Flying uniformly toward the charging Emperor-Level Star Beast, like silver vases bursting with liquid, all means sufficient to kill King-level beings were deployed.

Cluster rockets from the walltops exploded in unison, converging on the Star Beast. Floating cannons swiveled, the killing array’s lightning instantly illuminating the sky for miles!

However!

The next moment.

Everyone looked up expectantly.

What arrived wasn’t the black roc falling.

Instead, the black roc soared up from the smoke, easily shaking off its feathers. The Pear Blossom Needles fell like rain, all landing below the city walls.

“Useless…”

On the city walls, silver light fell like rain.

The Commander watched the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles fall, his face turning ashen. Members of other teams lowered their hands holding the loading devices.

Still not enough.

The power gap was too great.

Faced with such strength, the Rainstorm Pear Blossom Needles could at most handle King-level Star Beasts.

The Emperor-level clearly created an entirely different atmosphere!

Crack—

Array inscriptions shattered under the massive feather bombardment, the city defense array formation teetering precariously.

Within mere seconds, multiple Li Family city defenders collapsed, their spiritual power completely depleted, falling horizontal on the ground.The starlight grew faint.

Ethereal as smoke…

It seemed the array would shatter at any moment.

But just then!

“Everyone, disperse!”

A clear voice resounded through the sky.

Everyone turned to look.

It was Lin Mofeng!

Holding a piece of Dark Iron, he shattered the bricks beneath his feet and soared into the sky, intertwining with the Black Roc. Two terrifying forces entangled, moving like flowing light.

Grandmaster against Grandmaster!

In that instant, the sky filled with brilliant starlight!

A moment to catch their breath appeared…

………

“Everyone, act immediately! Don’t waste the opportunity Mo Feng has bought us!”

On the city wall, Elder Li looked at the situation in the sky and shouted to those around him.

“Time is precious now, every moment counts!!”

As his voice fell,

Everyone’s gaze grew determined again, firmly grasping their weapons.

After calming the crowd, Elder Li didn’t hesitate and quickly returned to Li Daoming’s side to continue maintaining the City Defense Array. With most of the Li Family’s array maintainers unconscious and no one to share the consumption, he had to step in and assist!

“Thank you for your help!”

Li Daoming and Elder Li jointly channeled Star Power, watching the battle above.

The situation in the sky was not optimistic.

The Emperor-Level Star Beast had reached the late Grandmaster stage, far beyond what Lin Mofeng could handle.

Before long, he was clearly at a disadvantage…

Lin Mofeng was bleeding from his mouth and nose, his shoulders covered with feathers, his face pale as gold paper. The Black Roc circled around him, searching for an opportunity to strike.

“We can’t continue like this, we must assist!”

The Police Inspector Commander stepped onto the battlement, gathering Star Power, preparing to fly into the sky.

But before he could finish speaking.

Suddenly!

A cold sword light illuminated the heavens!

Sword Opens Heaven’s Gate!

Li Zixuan, dressed in white, charged into the sky with her sword, like a white rainbow piercing the sun, riding the wind upward, reaching several meters into the night sky…

“Xuan Xuan, be careful!”

Elder Li’s heart raced at the sight, but he was unable to break away, only able to watch helplessly.

“Elder Li, don’t worry! I’ll protect your disciple!”

The Commander followed closely behind Li Zixuan, struggling to keep up with her speed as they charged into the high clouds. Behind them, Li Qinghe, holding the Little Seven-Star Sky Array, also flew up.

Three beams of starlight shot straight into the clouds.

“Qinghe, no!”

On the city wall, Li Daoming watched helplessly as his daughter soared into the air, unable to stop her in time.

……….

High in the night sky.

The moonlight was hazy, misty clouds drifted.

Four figures clashed, violent winds swirling…

“Insignificant human ants!”

The Black Roc’s gaze swept over them, briefly separating from Lin Mofeng several times, while focusing its attention on Li Zixuan.

“Shimei.”

Lin Mofeng looked at her, equally surprised.

There in the clouds.

Li Zixuan gripped her sword hilt, sheathed the sword, completely concealing its edge, condensing all her energy into a single point, her three thousand strands of hair flowing in the wind.

“This is…?”

Drawing her sword?

Just as they were puzzled.

The next moment.

Clang!

The blade left its sheath,

Ten thousand acres of cold light bloomed, immense Sword Qi crisscrossed, directly slashing toward the Black Roc.

With that single strike, the sea of clouds parted on both sides.

“Not good!”

The Black Roc was greatly alarmed, instinctively shattering the void beneath its feet to barely avoid the attack, escaping several zhang away.

Dangerous!

But before it could recover.

Hum!

A Buddhist chant array activated!

The seven stars in the sky connected, descending with vast confinement.

Directly blocking all escape routes in the sky, leaving the Black Roc with nowhere to flee. It darted in all directions but hit invisible walls, completely unable to escape even slightly.

“Where do you think you’re going!?”Li Qinghe held the Array Diagrams in her hand, activating the Small Big Dipper Seven Stars Array. It guided the celestial canopy as formation lines, with the sprawling stars serving as guides, floating in the north.

Commander and Lin Mofeng took positions in the west and south respectively…

Black Peng lifted his gaze to the east, where Li Zixuan sheathed her sword, focused her spirit into one, and began preparing for a second sword-drawing technique!

Killing intent surged from all directions, permeating the night sky for thousands of miles. He had long been left with nowhere to hide…
