Chapter 670 The Tragedy of Xingyuan City
A major battle is also taking place in Xingyuan City.
The demons attacking Xingyuan City numbered only seven or eight thousand, yet Xingyuan City was plunged into a bitter battle.
Because during the last great calamity, there weren't this many demons attacking the city.
The Star Pavilion warriors in Star Abyss City were astonished to see so many demons.
Immediately begin the forced conscription of the people.
They used whips to drive the people up the city walls and make them help defend the city.
However, Xingyuan City was not adequately prepared, and there was not enough bows and arrows.
Many ordinary people standing on the city wall could not do much, they could only throw stones and bricks down.
It can't do much damage to the demon at all.
The people were in chaos, and many were pushed off the city walls, becoming food for the devil.
Before long, the demons rushed to the city walls and smashed the city gates.
The people from the Star Pavilion used the Demon-Attracting Incense to lure away the demons at the city gate for a moment.
The dozen or so innate martial artists who had been sent to Ironblood City were so frightened by this sight that they trembled and hid back in their houses.
They wouldn't have ended up like this, but the key issue is that after arriving at Taixu, they lost all their power and felt completely unsafe.
An elder from the Star Pavilion pulled out three innate martial artists and gave each of them an iron sword.
"You three, immediately go to the city gate and intercept the demon."
The three exchanged glances, and the older of the three, a martial artist with innate abilities, said, "Elder Li, we have lost all our power and have very little strength left. How could we possibly defeat a demon?"
Elder Li smiled and said, "Do you know why you came to the Great Void during the Primordial Calamity?"
All three shook their heads.
Elder Li patiently guided him.
"Because you innate martial artists who came from Shenzhou may seem to have little strength, but in reality you can inflict fatal damage on demons."
These demons look fierce, and they are difficult for us to deal with.
However, it will be much easier for you to deal with it.
Two sword strikes are enough to kill one.
The three were still skeptical and showed no intention of leaving.
Boss Li raised his face and scolded, "All of you, come out and guard the city gate."
"Having repelled this demonic siege, you are heroes, and the sect will nurture you as potential grandmasters."
The group walked slowly forward, still hesitant in their hearts.
Looking at the ordinary iron sword in their hands, they could hardly believe that they could cut down a tall demon with just two strikes using such a weapon.
Those who can cultivate to the Innate Realm are not fools.
Nobody wants to take that risk.
The elder's face darkened.
"Hurry up and go. How can you be of great use if you hesitate?"
The sect trained you from ordinary people into innate martial artists, not so that you could just freeload.
The sect resources that your families enjoy are not free.
All of this depends on you risking your lives.
This elder is using a combination of harsh punishment and sweet talk, and has already started threatening his family.
Two more elders came over.
The three elders each grabbed a Xiantian martial artist and walked out.
"I will do as Elder Li says."
You kill demons as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.
The defense of the city depends entirely on you all this time.
These few innate martial artists held extraordinary positions in the Divine Continent, but they were still completely fooled.
The eldest of the three asked, "Elder Li, if we go out to kill demons, can we really drive back the demon army?"
Elder Li smiled and said, "I can swear to the Supreme One."
"Go out and kill the demons, and they will surely retreat."
Upon hearing that the elder had sworn an oath to the Supreme Being, the three had no doubts and charged toward the city gate with their iron swords.
"Come on!"
"Kill!"
A group of elders from the Star Pavilion rushed toward the city gate with the three of them.
Encouraged by the atmosphere, the three innate martial artists, their blood boiling, gradually ran to the front of the group.
They now truly believe that they can slay demons with their iron swords.
After the three rushed out the door, they found that there was no sound behind them.
When they looked back, they saw the elders who had rushed out with them blocking the city gate with bricks and stones.
The three were dumbfounded; they were being trapped outside the city.
The three of them turned around and tried to run back.
Elder Li took down his bow and arrows, drew the bowstring, pointed it at the three men, and shouted, "Anyone who dares to run back will be considered a deserter, shot on the spot, and their families will be sent to the mines to work in the mines."
The three of them stopped in their tracks, no longer daring to run back.
Two young innate martial artists charged toward the demon, swords raised.
The older innate martial artist was cautious; he ran to the side, out of the sight of the elders at the city gate.
Before he came to Taixu, he had learned some things about Taixu and knew that demons were not so easy to deal with.
But he didn't understand why the elders were sending them to their deaths.
He knew that if he died, his family wouldn't fare any better.
The people of Star Pavilion will treat their families well even if they die fighting demons.
Without their own protection, their families will definitely be suppressed, forced to give back all the resources they've accumulated over the years, and may even be sent to mines to work in the mines.
Therefore, running back and going to your death are essentially the same thing.
He wanted to find a chance to escape.
Two screams rang out.
The older martial artist turned around and saw that the two innate martial artists who had come out with him had their chests pierced by the demon's claws.
The two men stared wide-eyed at the iron sword in their hands.
They had just struck the demon with their swords, but before they could even leave a white mark, the demon pierced their chests.
The two exchanged a glance, unable to believe that the elders would conspire to deceive them.
With a ripping sound, the two innate martial artists were torn to shreds.
Upon seeing this, the older innate martial artist realized that the three of them had been deceived by the elder.
Taking advantage of the demon being temporarily attracted by the incense, he ran along the city wall to the other side.
Elder Li, who was holding a bow and arrow, waited for a while.
I didn't see the third innate martial artist die.
He took his bow and arrow and walked out of the city gate, only to see that the third warrior had already run far away.
Elder Li shouted, "Stop! Don't you care about your family?"
The man paused for a moment, tears streaming down his face, before running forward without hesitation.
He didn't understand why the sect elders wanted him to die.
"court death!"
Elder Li roared and shot an arrow at the innate martial artist.
Whoosh! An arrow flew hundreds of meters and struck the man's calf.
*Thud*, the arrow pierced through the calf of this innate martial artist.
The man felt a sharp pain in his foot and almost fell.
With red eyes and gritted teeth, he broke the arrow and continued running forward.
Elder Li drew another arrow, nocked it, and drew the bowstring.
Awooo! At this moment, the demon-summoning incense lost its effect, and a large group of demons rushed towards him.
The man's attention was diverted by the demon's roar.
When he turned back, the innate martial artist had already run into the black mist.
A martial artist with innate martial arts skills who runs into the black mist will almost certainly die.
Elder Li put down his bow and arrows and ran towards the city.
