Chapter 104: Beast Tide

Long remembering the tide, the whole city competes to look at the river. It comes as if the vast sea is completely empty, amidst the sound of ten thousand drums. The tide-playing boy stands on the crest of the waves, holding a red flag that doesn't get wet. Since parting, I have looked at it in my dreams several times, and I still feel cold when I wake up. — "Jiuquanzi: Long Remembering the Tide"

Outside Golden Money Island, dark clouds were dense, and thunder and lightning were flashing.

Where the sea and sky met, lines of black were rolling and surging, flowing forward.

When they reached the vicinity, the sea waves were towering, the tide was like a water wall, whistling and sweeping, making a thunderous roar that was deafening.

On the crests of the waves, sea demons were densely packed, overturning rivers and seas, driving waves and urging tides, and there were transformed great demons with aggressive momentum, coming with bad intentions.

"There are transformed great demons; this battle must be very difficult." Wind and Cloud List expert Guan Mubai said to Guo Zichen, who was also a team leader.

Guo Zichen nodded: "No matter how difficult, we must defend. Golden Money Island has never been captured by sea demons. This time, it cannot be an exception."

On the city wall, the new students participating in this trial were all trembling and terrified.

Some new students shouted softly: "Sea demons are coming, we are going to die."

Fang Shiwen looked at these new students and frowned.

He said loudly to Ouyang Lanlan: "Junior Sister Ouyang, activate the triple array."

"Yes, Senior Brother." Ouyang Lanlan left quickly.

A moment later, red, green, and blue light shields lit up on the city wall.

On the side, Fifth Senior Brother Cheng Haonan reminded: "Senior Brother Fang, the junior brothers and sisters are participating in a trial for the first time, so it is inevitable that they will feel fear. Senior Brother must say a few words to boost morale."

Fang Shiwen nodded, thought for a moment, and shouted loudly: "Dear junior brothers and sisters, don't be afraid, don't panic. We have the array to protect us; the sea demons can't break in. Everyone just needs to stay on the city wall and join forces to kill the sea demons that slip through the net."

The new students felt a little settled after his speech.

"Senior Brother Fang, the terrain of each city wall is different, and the difficulty of the sea demons' attacks is different. Senior Brother still needs to designate the defensive areas for each team." Cheng Haonan reminded again.

Fang Shiwen looked at Cheng Haonan in surprise and then said to the team leaders: "Junior Brother Cheng's opinion coincides with mine. I think each direction should be arranged with two hundred people, each responsible by two team leaders. The remaining two hundred people will be divided into two teams, led by Junior Sister Yunxi and Junior Brother Cheng respectively, to provide timely support to the city wall."

"Okay." Everyone nodded in agreement.

"Then what do I do?" Ouyang Lanlan asked.

Fang Shiwen smiled: "Junior Sister Ouyang has a heavy responsibility; you lead ten people to replace the array spirit stones in time to ensure the array is safe."

"Obey." Ouyang Lanlan said solemnly.

On the city wall.

Looking at the dense demon beasts on the sea, Zhang Xingyu gripped the Fire Meteor in his hand tightly.

After this battle, I must find an opportunity to learn the Sword Control Technique.

Without the Sword Control Technique, the Fire Meteor in his hand could only be used as an ordinary magic sword.

If he learned the Sword Control Technique, he could command the flying sword to destroy the enemy without leaving the city wall.

When necessary, he could also control the flying sword for short-distance flight.

Learning sword control was one of the things he most wanted to do right now.

Just as he was letting his imagination run wild, the sea demons had already driven the waves and flown toward the top of the city wall.

The waves wet the wall, the sea demons hit the shield, and the students slashed wildly with their swords.

Under the dual strikes of the sea demons and the students, the three-light shield on the city wall almost shattered.

Seeing this, Zhang Xingyu was anxious: "Everyone, don't slash the shield; wait for the sea demons to drill into the shield before slashing."

A few sea demons drilled into the shield, and everyone slashed wildly, turning these unlucky eggs into meat paste.

The waves receded, the demon beasts fell, and the first round of the demon beasts' attack was repelled.

As soon as the first round retreated, the second round came up.

Slashing to death a flying fish demon, roasting a lobster demon with a fire talisman, the second round of defense was successfully completed.

However, before everyone could catch their breath, the third round of the sea demons' attack arrived again.

I slash, I slash, I slash, slash, slash.

In less than an hour, everyone had repelled eight rounds of attacks launched by the demon beasts.

On the city wall, blood flowed, and demon corpses were everywhere.

Zhang Xingyu leaned against the wall, picked up a roasted lobster demon, and chewed it in large mouthfuls.

After finishing one, he still wasn't satisfied and picked up another.

Inside his dantian, Spiritual Aura was rising with a swoosh.

In his mind, the system notification sound kept ringing.

At the same time, the transformed great demon directing the attack was furious.

His eyes were like copper bells, his mouth like a blood basin, his teeth like sharp swords, and he waved the big knife in his hand, roaring at the sea demons constantly.

After a while, the sea demons launched the ninth round of attacks again.

Feeling the Spiritual Aura in his body full, Zhang Xingyu operated the "Fire Spirit Dance," slowly introducing the Spiritual Aura in his meridians into the runes of the flying sword.

The Fire Meteor slowly lit up, and a moment later, it turned into a fire sword burning fiercely.

So, the sword light of the flying sword is formed by introducing Spiritual Aura into the sword body.

This skill is not difficult; I learned it as soon as I tried. Zhang Xingyu thought proudly.

With one sword, he slashed a flying fish demon into two pieces of roasted fish; the ninth round of the city defense battle was won.

At the same time, in other directions, cheers from the students also came.

The sea demons retreated under the leadership of the great demon; this beast tide seemed to have passed safely.

"Senior Brother Zhang, we won." A student said to Zhang Xingyu.

"Hmm, we won." Zhang Xingyu replied.

"Junior brother Liu Dahai, thank you for saving me just now, otherwise I would have lost my life." The student bowed to thank him.

Zhang Xingyu returned the bow: "Junior Brother Liu, don't be polite. Between students, we should help each other. Not saving someone in danger is not my style."

"Senior Brother has a good character. In the past, we misunderstood you." Liu Dahai said with shame on his face.

Zhang Xingyu waved his hand: "No matter, no matter. I am often misunderstood."

After blowing a few words with this Liu Dahai student, Zhang Xingyu took off the golden gourd from his waist and collected the dozen or so demon beast corpses around him.

"Junior Brother Liu, I will use these demon beasts for barbecue. If you don't mind, I will take them all." Zhang Xingyu said to Liu Dahai.

"Don't mind, don't mind. Since Senior Brother Zhang likes them, just take them." Liu Dahai replied.

This kid Liu Dahai is not bad, knows how to be grateful; I can help him in the future. Zhang Xingyu thought.

Bowing to say goodbye to Liu Dahai, Zhang Xingyu walked quickly to find Tang Yunxi.

Hu Siping's poison must be cured, and the great demon's bile must be obtained.

Before that, he must find a way to gather equipment.

On this Golden Money Island, the only ones who could have good equipment and have a friendship with him were Tang Yunxi, Cheng Haonan, and Ouyang Lanlan.

Tang Yunxi was talking about things with Fang Shiwen, Cheng Haonan, and a group of senior brothers and sisters.

Seeing Zhang Xingyu waving at her, Tang Yunxi was very surprised.

Thinking for a moment, she still apologized to Fang Shiwen and the others and walked quickly toward Zhang Xingyu.

Everyone was stunned by her actions.

Could it be true, as the legend says, that the noble and cold Fairy Yunxi has an unspeakable story with that trash Zhang Xingyu?

Seeing Tang Yunxi approach, Zhang Xingyu bowed to her: "Senior Sister Yunxi, I have something I want to ask for your help?"

Zhang Xingyu said this sentence relatively loudly.

He did it on purpose so that Fang Shiwen could hear it, so as not to embarrass Tang Yunxi.

"Junior Brother Zhang, what do you want to find me for?" Tang Yunxi asked.

Zhang Xingyu replied seriously: "Senior Sister, I want to borrow a high-grade magic tool from you."

"What do you want to borrow a magic tool for?" Tang Yunxi asked.

"Senior Sister, I have a brother who was poisoned by a demon and needs the great demon's bile to save his life. I want to go and try." Zhang Xingyu said.

Tang Yunxi was shocked: "Junior Brother Zhang, are you going to deal with a great demon?"

"Hmm." Zhang Xingyu nodded.

Seeing Zhang Xingyu speak so solemnly and with such firm expression, Tang Yunxi nodded: "I will help you prepare."

Pausing, she asked again: "Do you need me to go with you?"

Zhang Xingyu waved his hand: "This trip is nine deaths and one life. You are willing to lend me a magic tool; that is already the greatest help to me. How can I let you go and take risks with me."

Tang Yunxi said no more.

She took a bead from her storage bag and handed it to Zhang Xingyu: "This is an 'Escape Void Bead'. Inputting Spiritual Aura can allow you to instantly escape into the void and avoid the detection of a transformed great demon. At a critical moment, it might save your life."

Zhang Xingyu reached out to take it and thanked her loudly: "Thank you. Senior Sister Yunxi, you have helped me three or four times; I owe you a lot. If I am lucky enough to survive and return this time, I will definitely find a way to repay you. If I die this time, if there is a chance in the next life, I will definitely repay your favor."

Tang Yunxi shook her head: "Who wants you to repay. If you really want to repay, you must come back alive."

After speaking, Tang Yunxi walked back.

After finding Tang Yunxi, Zhang Xingyu thickened his skin and borrowed a Dharma boat and three sets of array disks from Cheng Haonan and Ouyang Lanlan.

Man proposes, God disposes.

Great demon, I'm coming. ===== CHAPTER 105 =====
