C236Seeing a ma.s.s of Bird Demons were swooping down, Tang Zheng, who was floating in the air and had nowhere to borrow strength, quickly slashed downwards. Using the rebounding force, he soared into the air, barely dodging the Bird Demons"s attack.
At this moment, he was already hundreds of meters in the air, and was even higher up than the Bird Demons. The Bird Demons immediately turned around and soared into the sky, attacking him.
However, Tang Zheng allowed his body to quickly descend, pouncing towards a Bird Demons that was charging towards him.
The Bird Demons"s sharp beak immediately pecked at him, causing a strong wind to blow, but Tang Zheng was not hit. Instead, he brandished his War Soul Sword, causing a stir in the air, and then, taking advantage of the force, he dangerously landed on the Bird Demons"s back.
Tang Zheng grabbed its feathers tightly as the Bird Demons wailed in anger. It kept rolling in the air, determined to throw Tang Zheng off.
Tang Zheng would never let go so easily, falling from this hundred meter alt.i.tude, even if he did not die from the fall, he would be helpless to do so. Furthermore, there were a group of Demonic Beasts s below that were eyeing him covetously.
The Demonic Beasts on the ground all raised their heads to look at the sky, their sharp claws and fangs aimed straight at the sky, as long as Tang Zheng landed, they would definitely let him have his heart pierced by countless blades.
The Bird Demons had already risen to a height of a few hundred meters in the air, and Tang Zheng could hear the whistling of the wind in his surroundings. Luckily, he was brave and careful, and still did not let go, causing the Bird Demons to be unable to do anything to him.
The other Bird Demons saw that Tang Zheng was sly, and rushed forward to help, but with a thought, under the control of the Imperial Sword Technique, the War Soul Sword stabbed into one of the Bird Demons that was rus.h.i.+ng towards them, and the huge beast fell down.
The other Bird Demons screamed in fear and retreated.
Tang Zheng looked at the tribe from afar and saw many Demonic Beasts s charging towards the tribe. Tang Zheng was extremely anxious and at this time, the Bird Demons below him seemed to know that it was unable to get rid of Tang Zheng while it was in the air, so it simply swooped down, wanting to land on the ground and cause Tang Zheng to fall into the encirclement of Demonic Beasts s.
Tang Zheng immediately saw through its intentions. Seeing that it had already descended to a hundred meters in the air, he held onto the Bird Demons"s neck with both of his hands and pulled it up with all his might.
The Bird Demons let out a painful cry and helplessly rose into the air again. It flapped its wings and flew forward, just in the direction of the tribe.
Tang Zheng was overjoyed. Since Demonic Beasts were everywhere on the land, he would return to the tribe from the sky and move even faster.
He placed the War Soul Sword on the Bird Demons"s neck and said harshly: "Quickly fly forward, or else I"ll kill you with one strike."
Since the Bird Demons was intelligent, of course it did not want to die. If one wanted to leave Tang Zheng alone, but was unable to do so, in order to protect their life, they could only be coerced by him.
The man and the demon were extremely fast. They flew through the sky like lightning towards the tribe.
The Kui Cow raised its head and looked at the sky. Suddenly, a green light burst out of its pupils as it bellowed, "They"ve escaped! Quickly, chase them!"
Rumble rumble rumble!
All the Demonic Beasts rushed towards the tribe.
Tang Zheng was even faster than the group of Demonic Beasts that were charging towards the tribe at the start. When they reached the tribe"s main gate, Tang Zheng told the Bird Demons to lower its alt.i.tude, and when there were still more than ten meters left, he jumped down from its back.
The Bird Demons then flew up into the air again, looking at Tang Zheng from afar, it did not dare to approach him. Obviously, it had suffered a lot from his hands.
Seeing that Tang Zheng had landed at the main entrance, the people on the battlements cheered, and immediately opened the door to welcome him.
At this moment, the Demonic Beasts"s vanguard force had also rushed to the main entrance, but were blocked by the huge main entrance.
These two doors were made of huge stones, and were made of one piece that weighed tens of thousands of pounds. Even if the Witch Clan members had innate divine strength, they probably spent a lot of effort to install these two stone doors back then.
The stone door was like a natural barrier, blocking all the Demonic Beasts outside. It was hard to enter any further, so he could only roar and roar at the people on the battlements.
Tang Zheng also stood on top of the battlements, meeting with the elders and Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+. The Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ jumped into his embrace in joy.
Just now, that soul-stirring battle had resounded through the skies. Although she hadn"t personally witnessed it, she could imagine how dangerous it was.
Seeing that he had returned safe and sound, she truly felt as if she had been separated from him for a whole lifetime.
Tang Zheng patted her back to comfort her. Fang s.h.i.+s.h.i.+ also gradually calmed down as he stood quietly at the side.
The Elder"s face was ashen as he looked at the Demonic Beasts in front of the stone door, and said worriedly: "Sir Envoy, I am afraid that the stone door and the surrounding walls will not be able to withstand their attacks.
Tang Zheng nodded his head, even if he could hold on for a while, he could not hold on for a lifetime.
"Sir Envoy, now that the restrictions have been broken, lead the large group of our clansmen away first, I will stay behind to defend." The Elder volunteered.
Tang Zheng"s expression trembled, he rejected her without hesitation: "No, I also want to stay. These Demonic Beasts are here for the little guy, I have to figure out what"s going on."
Speaking of the little guy, a white figure appeared out of nowhere and jumped onto Tang Zheng"s shoulder.
Just now, before the battle, Tang Zheng had given it to the elder to take away, because he suspected that the Demonic Beasts were here for it from the very beginning.
If he had lost the battle just now, he would not have let it fall into the hands of the Demonic Beasts. Now that he was sure that the Demonic Beasts was targeting it, he couldn"t help but size it up even more carefully.
Its appearance was not much different from a small dog, except that its eyes were a fiery red.
The little guy was standing on his shoulder, its front paws hugging his head. It intimately rubbed its head with its head. Its small eyes were full of resentment, as if it was complaining that he had just left it.
The Elder also looked at the little fellow curiously. Although he was knowledgeable, he still could not recognize the little fellow"s origins.
"Lord Envoy, the Demonic Beasts are charging in aggressively, we must not let them obtain the sacred beast. Since Lord Envoy is not leaving, then even if our Shaman Tribe fights to the last person and dries up the last drop of our blood, we will not compromise." The Elder said confidently.
"Never compromise, never compromise..." The other clansmen began to shout in succession. Regardless of whether they were men, women, old, or young, all of them had determined expressions on their faces.
Tang Zheng was agitated as she said in a clear voice: "We will definitely pa.s.s through this crisis. Everyone must have confidence."
"Yes, I have pa.s.sed the test!"
With their high morale, they entered the great army of Demonic Beasts outside the door.
At first, there were only a dozen or so Demonic Beasts surrounding the swamp, but now there were already forty to fifty of them, and the Kui Cows were obviously the leaders.
The Kui Cow swaggered forward, its gaze locked onto the little fellow on Tang Zheng"s shoulder from afar. Its expression became agitated as it said loudly, "Hand it over and we"ll retreat.
"Don"t even think about it!" Tang Zheng rejected her loudly.
"Attack!" Without wasting any time on nonsense, the Kui Cow waved its claws and the Demonic Beasts army charged towards the tribe.
The outer perimeter of the tribe was a fence, and inside the fence was a tall wall made of huge rocks. It was dozens of meters tall, and normally, ferocious beasts would not be able to get past it.
And at that moment, facing the Demonic Beasts army, the outermost fences were obviously like a bunch of chickens and dogs. They were instantly destroyed, and the group of Demonic Beasts s arrived at the city wall.
Facing this group of gigantic beasts, Demonic Beasts would definitely not be able to climb up the wall easily, and defeating the city walls would be even more difficult. Therefore, more than twenty of these Demonic Beasts rushed towards the gate, while the rest wanted to find an opportunity to climb up the city wall.
Demonic Beasts s were indeed good at climbing the city walls, but the Witch Clan"s soldiers were all male, female, old and young, their fighting capabilities were not weak, so the battlements were filled with people, all of them holding onto their bows and arrows as they faced the climbing Demonic Beasts.
Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+ Swoos.h.!.+
Arrows rained down from the sky, and some of the Demonic Beasts s dropped down from the arrows, but the other Demonic Beasts s also made up for it, but the Witch Clan had even more arrows, as if they could not use them any longer, causing the Demonic Beasts s to be unable to reach the city wall.
The battle at the main gate was even more intense, many Demonic Beasts s directly smashed into the stone gate while holding onto the trunk of the huge tree, creating a series of rumbling sounds.
The Shamans on top of the city gate kept firing arrows, and Demonic Beasts fell to the ground. However, the Demonic Beasts instantly became smarter. It carried the huge trees and hid under the tree trunk while rus.h.i.+ng towards the stone door. This way, the rain of arrows completely missed.
A series of loud rumbling sounds could be heard. Every strike seemed to strike the hearts of everyone present, and everyone"s mood became increasingly gloomy along with the sounds of the collision.
"This can"t go on."
Tang Zheng clenched his teeth, and used the Imperial Sword Technique again. The War Soul Sword flew out, and turned to fly under the tree.
Puff!
One of the Demonic Beasts had its heart pierced, the other Demonic Beasts had already experienced the power of the War Soul Sword and retreated.
The War Soul Sword pursued rapidly and reaped the lives of two more Demonic Beasts.
Bang!
Suddenly, a sharp claw struck the War Soul Sword, causing it to shake violently and almost fall to the ground. It then quickly flew backwards, as if it was a drunk person.
Tang Zheng"s face instantly paled as blood leaked out from the corner of his mouth. The attack on the War Soul Sword just now was done by the Kui Cow, causing his mind to tremble.
It had to be known that using the Imperial Sword Technique to perform long-range attacks already consumed a lot of True Qi, and such long-range attacks mostly relied on skill to win. Against the Kui Cow"s head-on collision, Tang Zheng clearly suffered a loss.
Withdrawing the War Soul Sword, Tang Zheng did not dare to continue using the Imperial Sword Technique anymore, and the Kui Cow didn"t dare to rashly charge into the stone door either. Furthermore, the attacks from the various walls were also not as simple as he had imagined.
If they wanted to rush in, they would have to find another way. The Kui Cow raised its head and saw the few remaining Bird Demons in the sky.
Not long later, the Kui Cow and a few Demonic Beasts disappeared, and moments later, the few Bird Demons in the sky suddenly dove down towards the square in the middle of the Shaman Tribe"s tribe.
"Stop them!"
Tang Zheng shouted loudly as arrows rained down from the sky, striking at the Bird Demons that was getting closer and closer.
Hu hu ~
The Bird Demons flapped its wings rapidly and a strong wind blew the rain of arrows away from its direction. A few tall figures jumped down from the back of the Bird Demons and landed on the plaza; they were precisely the Kui Cow and the other Demonic Beasts that had disappeared.
The st.u.r.dy city walls were still unable to defend against the enemies that were falling from the sky.
