Chapter 662

Half a year passed in a flash!

Su Hanyu and his party had also returned. During the trip to the Huoyun Mountain Range, they chose to launch a surprise attack. That group of Fire Ants indeed did not expect it, and two third-rank ant kings were killed instantly when Su Hanyu launched the surprise attack.

Subsequently, eight Purple Mansion cultivators besieged the remaining four third-rank Fire Ants.

Su Hanyu and Pei Xian were both in the late stage of the Purple Mansion and held top-tier third-rank artifacts, possessing unparalleled combat power. Therefore, in the end, of the six third-rank demon beasts, only one escaped, and over thirty second-rank Fire Ants were also killed by them. As for the first-rank ones, there were even more.

Because they were worried about the support of other demon beasts and the fact that thousands of first-rank Fire Ants were also surrounding them, Su Hanyu and the others quickly withdrew.

In this battle, they killed five Purple Mansion Fire Ants and obtained five third-rank demon beast inner cores. The harvest was great.

Moreover, the carapaces on the Fire Ants were also top-tier materials for refining defensive artifacts.

However, afterwards, Jinguang specifically went to the Huoyun Mountain Range again and discovered the aura of a fourth-rank demon beast inside. He didn't dare to stay long and quickly returned.

Afterwards, the demon army began to gather rapidly in the Huoyun Mountain Range and several surrounding mountain ranges.

"The demon beasts are coming."

On this day, following a loud shout, the entire Liuyun Mountain Range was quickly plunged into busyness.

The mortals had all entered the towns. Every household had dug tunnels at home. The timid ones hid inside, while those who were slightly bolder were all looking at the sky.

Looking at the flowing light constantly passing through the sky, they were praying.

Most mortals did not know what had happened, but some higher-ups in the towns, even if they were not immortal cultivators, also understood quite a bit.

They knew that this was a beast tide that occurred once in a hundred years.

Most mortals were stable. After all, sometimes ignorance is the luckiest thing; you don't have to think so much.

But immortal cultivators were not.

There were a total of thirty-one thousand cultivators remaining in the Liuyun Mountain Range. It must be said that the Su Family's ability to call upon people was not weak, although this was by relying on various treasures to attract cultivators to come over.

Compared to the Yunyang Sect, a conscription order could not compare.

But after this beast tide, the Su Family's reputation would inevitably rise to a higher level.

The thirty-plus thousand cultivators were mostly in the Qi Refining stage. They were divided into teams of one thousand, commanded by five Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Then they were divided into four directions, guarding the four directions at the positions of the Four Symbols Primordial Array.

Outside the Liuyun Mountain Range, the overwhelming demon beasts had already surged up.

Hundreds of thousands of demon beasts, looking from afar, were like the rising tide of the sea, looking very terrifying.

Many cultivators who saw this scene for the first time had a bit of panic in their eyes, but those cultivators who had truly experienced beast tides had somewhat calm expressions.

The Four Symbols Primordial Array shrouded the area within a radius of several thousand miles around Liuyun Mountain. The entire Liuyun Mountain Range naturally could not be that big.

It was just the outer perimeter that was completely abandoned. The original cultivators of those first-rank and second-rank spirit veins all retreated into the range of the array.

Mortals were also arranged early on.

Since these cultivators and mortals were all willing to advance and retreat with the Su Family, the Su Family naturally had reason to protect their safety.

"The Demon Race is here. This time, the demon army is estimated to be eight hundred thousand."

Su Fan looked into the distance and said calmly.

And this number of eight hundred thousand also shocked the group of higher-ups present. In the past, when beast tides invaded Zheng State, there were at most five hundred thousand.

This time, there were over three hundred thousand more all at once, a heavy pressure.

"You don't have to worry. These eight hundred thousand demon tribes cannot all attack the Liuyun Mountain Range."

Su Fan looked at everyone and then said: "This beast tide is indeed more dangerous. Five fourth-rank demon beasts have come."

"Clan Head, did you see it wrong?"

"There are five fourth-rank demon beasts."

Everyone was shocked again upon hearing this. He and Lin Taihe had just detected the aura of three fourth-rank demon beasts.

"That's right, two are hidden."

Su Fan showed a sneer. After demon beasts reach the third rank, their intelligence greatly improves. Fifth-rank ones can transform into human form. Each one's wisdom is comparable to an old monster.

Some demon races also like to use human conspiracies and tricks very much.

"As for third-rank demon beasts, there are almost forty-six."

Over forty Purple Mansion cultivators also gave those Purple Mansion cultivators heavy pressure. At this moment, there was no longer the calmness on everyone's faces as before, and one by one, their brows were tightly locked.

The only one whose expression remained unchanged was Su Fan.

"Alright! The great battle has begun."

Su Fan's divine sense discovered that the first wave of the demon army's offensive had already begun, directly dispatching an army of over sixty thousand, with countless races, attacking towards Liuyun Mountain.

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, these higher-ups also instantly returned to their stationed positions and mobilized the power of the array.

In an instant, only to see an ancient-like cry above Liuyun Peak, and the essence spirit of a thousand-zhang-long turtle appeared.

Subsequently, the turtle-shaped essence spirit turned into a huge light shield, shrouding Liuyun Mountain.

Tens of thousands of demon tribes went forward to attack this light shield, but it only caused ripples.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

At this time, the cultivators in the mountain also began to counterattack. One by one, magic techniques all turned into seven-colored light, bombarding the demon army outside the light shield.

These magic techniques were like a rain of swords falling from the sky, killing the demon army and leaving corpses everywhere. Countless demon beasts were torn apart under the magic techniques.

But the demon army behind was still constantly surging towards the front.

As if they wanted to forcibly disperse this light shield.

Boom, boom, boom!

One by one, magic techniques, batch after batch of cultivators, took turns attacking.

In the morning, the first wave of the demon race's offensive gradually weakened.

There were almost several thousand casualties.

"So ruthless."

Many Foundation Establishment cultivators who saw the beast tide for the first time were terrified.

"Don't think too much, the battle is still early."

"What is this? This is just the demon race's first wave of attempts."

Those veteran Foundation Establishment cultivators who had experienced beast tides said calmly. They didn't care about the death of thousands of demon tribes because they knew clearly that the further it went, the more intense the battle would be.

They were still relatively relaxed now and could constantly rotate, and their magic power could recover quickly.

When it really came to the end, there would be no time for them to rotate.

If the array was broken, they would have to engage in close combat with the demon army, which would be even more dangerous.

"Hurry up and recover your magic power, and kill a few more demon beasts. The image stones above all have records. These are all merits. When the time comes, the Su Family will reward you according to your merits."

The veteran Foundation Establishment cultivator was not a member of the Su Family. He came to participate simply for the Su Family's Foundation Establishment Pill.

With one more Foundation Establishment Pill, the family might be able to have one more Foundation Establishment cultivator.

The Su Family's reputation is very good and they never embezzle.

"Okay, Senior."

Su Qihan nodded upon hearing the words of this white-haired old man and didn't say much. He was a disciple of the Su Family and had never lacked resources since he was a child, so he couldn't feel the sense of urgency of other families.

But that didn't hinder his pride in his heart.
