Unparalleled Sword Emperor

0During the thunderous night, the Northern Rock City was abnormally noisy, and in the center of the city, countless warriors had gathered.    0

    

As for one of the deputy city lords of Northern Rock City, Weng Xi and the Alchemist Association's branch president Qian Yun, they stood in front of the crowd and discussed about how the sealed stone doors of the demons in the mountain behind the Tan Family was about to collapse.    

    

However, even though they were the two highest ranked existences in Northern Rock City, it did not have much effect on them. Only a small portion of them were willing to believe it, and the rest were basically treated with a half-believing and half-doubting attitude.    

    

Because of this, it made Weng Xi and Qian Yun feel helpless and anxious.    

    

"City Lord!"    

    

Not long after, Duan Tian and the others that had swiftly rushed over from the back mountain of the Tan Clan descended from the sky. The people that had gathered here all revealed respectful expressions as they clasped their hands and said.    

    

Arriving beside Weng Xi, Duan Tian's face was full of anxiety as he said, "Immediately activate the Great City Barrier Formation. Afterwards, we'll have the Martial God Stage experts defend the four directions to the north, south, east, and west in order to prevent demon race from sneaking in." Then, he said loudly to the crowd, "There are countless demons sealed in the back mountains of the Tan Clan. Now that the formation has failed, a large number of demons have already arrived. If you want to protect your home, then give your all and follow the other Martial God experts to guard your positions!"    

    

It was obvious that they were going to activate the so-called Great City Barrier Formation. At this moment, they were fully aware of just how terrifying the upcoming crisis was, and if they were slightly to delay it for a moment, it might cause the entire Northern Rock City to be massacred. At that time, everything would be over, so naturally, they would use their fastest speed to reach their destination.    

    

"There's actually a demon beast here!"    

    

"How can I do that? I don't want to die yet …"    

    

"Mayor, let me go, I don't want to stay!"    

    

"I am still young, and my talent for martial cultivation is also very good. I do not wish to die here."    

    

As the two left, some of the people in the crowd began to panic. At first, there was only one person, but gradually, there were more and more.    

    

However, before long, someone among the crowd suddenly spoke up: "Northern Rock City is our home, we are all under the care of the City Lord here, so we should be helping to alleviate the suffering, so I am willing to stay and fight alongside the City Lord to fight against the Monster race!"    

    

"Me too, protecting your own home is a human's duty. If you can even abandon your own home, then what would you call a human, it would be better to just become a demon dweller."    

    

"That's right, I want to stay as well."    

    

"I'll stay..."    

    

As the man's words fell, those who had been hesitating on whether to leave or stay and fight against the demons all expressed their intentions to stay behind.    

    

Seeing this scene, Duan Ling Tian, who was slightly unhappy at first, revealed a satisfied smile.    

    

Roughly a cup of tea later, there were only four elders left in the public square. Including Duan Tian, Lingyun, Qian Yun, and Yue Xin, there were eight of them.    

    

These four old men in different clothes were all at the first level of the Martial God Realm. As for them, they were Lei Li, the island, Xue, and Qiong Hu. They were the guardians of the major forces of Northern Rock City.    

    

"These are the communication compass. When you need to use them, you can just inject your spirit energy into them to communicate with others." Just as Ling Yunfan was frowning slightly and observing the surrounding demonic energy, Duan Tian suddenly took out several brown colored compasses from his Qiankun bag and distributed it to Lingyun and the rest. He then said to the four old men in front of him.    

    

"Yes."    

    

After putting away the communication compass, the four of them clasped their fists and nodded before flying away.    

    

Riley followed Shay to the east, and Jonghu followed the island to the south.    

    

Looking at the communication compass in his hand, Ling Yunfan looked at Duan Tian with a puzzled expression. He hoped that Duan Ling Tian would tell him what the meaning of giving him the compass was.    

    

"Little friend, since you possess the ability of the White Crack Earth Tiger which has been heavily injured, I believe that your strength will not be like it is on the surface. Would you be able to resolve the crisis that the Northern Rock City is facing together?" Duan Ling Tian lightly smiled as he replied to Duan Ling Tian's puzzled gaze.    

    

If you don't want to help, you must at least help. However, the other party is a powerhouse of the second level of the Martial God Realm, after all. No matter how unhappy he is, he still said with a sense of justice: "I also have a cave in Northern Rock City. No matter what, it should be considered half of my home.    

    

"Very good, little friend." After hearing what he said, Duan Ling Tian revealed a faint smile, and at the same time, praised him.    

    

Towards others' praise, Lingyun didn't feel anything strange, so he maintained his previous indifferent look.    

    

"Buzz!"    

    

Not long after, a frightening energy fluctuation appeared in the large Northern Rock City, turning into a light green barrier in the blink of an eye and enveloping it within.    

    

At the same time, as the full moon appeared once more, a silver light illuminated the entire earth. When everyone looked over, they discovered that there were many strange looking figures gathered outside of Northern Rock City.    

    

After taking a clear look, he realized that these people were actually from the demon race.    

    

Amongst them, high up in the sky outside the city gates of Northern Rock City, there was a slightly aged middle-aged man with short hair who was wearing a blood-red robe looking down at the barrier that even he was temporarily unable to break through. He seemed to be lost in thought.    

    

"I really didn't expect that a medium-sized city would have such an impressive formation. Could it be the masterpiece of a Saint Array Master?" As the middle-aged man slightly released his demonic spiritual energy to come in contact with the barrier covering Northern Rock City, he discovered that not only had his demonic energy been rebounded, but he had actually been injured. Although it was just a superficial wound, he was still a demon general and was much stronger than an ordinary existence at the third level of the Transcending Mortality Stage.    

    

Actually, this defensive formation wasn't something that the city lord Duan Yuan had arranged. Instead, it was a Saint Array Master that Qian Yun knew came here by chance and needed Duan Yuan's help. That was why he had set up this formation as a reward.    

    

Although this formation didn't have much power, its defensive power was like a turtle shell. Without the support of a special treasure coupled with the full power of an expert of the third level of the Mortal Realm, the formation could completely block any attack.    

    

It was precisely because of this that Duan Yuan placed the hope of Northern Rock City on this formation. At that time, as long as they could hold on for a certain amount of time, the other great powers would notice that something was amiss and come over to support them. At that time, even if the demon clan outside would not get into trouble, they would still have to obediently head back to their territory.
