Chapter 65 - Chapter 65: Chapter 65 Beast Tide Incoming (2/2)

As for those cultivators who hadn’t reached the middle phase of Qi Refinement, they were in for a miserable time. Unable to fly on their swords, they wished they had an extra pair of legs to speed their escape from this place.

Of course, there were some cultivators who, knowing they couldn’t outrun the Demonic Beasts, quickly found a place to hide.

Some of the clever ones would even use Invisibility Talismans, sticking them on their bodies while also concealing their aura.

Some of these people managed to survive.

Of course, many more were unfortunate enough to be discovered by Demonic Beasts and became the beasts’ snacks on the spot.

As for those cultivators who took to the sky on their swords, their situation wasn’t necessarily any better.

Among the Demonic Beasts, there were also those capable of flight, some of which were raptors, whose speed in the air was many times faster than those on the ground.

In the sky, a Qi Refinement period cultivator was rapidly fleeing on his sword.

But suddenly, he was ambushed by a streak of black light. Before he could discern what it was, he lost consciousness and plummeted to the ground.

With a “thud,” he fell to the ground, and from his mutilated body, one could see his chest was hollowed out, his heart had been gouged out.

A few individuals not far from him, upon witnessing this scene, were scared into breaking out in a cold sweat, turning their heads to look.

They saw the black light circling in the air, its gaze sharp, closely watching these few people.

This was unexpectedly a Black Kite.

The Black Kite was no ordinary Demonic Beast—it was the sovereign of the skies.

Although it wasn’t large, about the size of a pigeon, its speed was incredibly fast. As a Foundation Establishment stage Demonic Beast, it could match the speed of a Golden Core Cultivator.

Moreover, its beak was extremely hard and sharp, making it the perfect material for crafting offensive magical artifacts. Ordinary defensive magical artifacts simply couldn’t withstand it.

Seeing the Black Kite, those few people hurriedly descended to the ground, not daring to linger in the air.

That’s because Black Kites usually didn’t attack prey on the ground, instead, in the air, escape from their pursuit was virtually impossible.

At this moment, Lin Jing and others also witnessed the scene of the Demonic Beasts’ slaughter, their faces turning ugly.

“Now that we can’t get into the Inner Fang Market, why don’t we just cut our way out from some other place?” Yan Xiong suggested.

“No way, with so many Demonic Beasts, it’s just not possible.” Ning Yue looked at the chaotic crowd and the raging Demonic Beasts, her brows furrowed tightly.

“Then what do we do? Think of something quick, the Demonic Beasts are already charging this way.” Yan Xiong was also getting anxious at this point.

At that moment, several Foundation Establishment stage Demonic Beasts took the lead and were charging towards them.

“Brother Wei.’ “Elder Yan.”

“Fellow Ning. ”

“Come over to me quickly, I have a way.”

Turning their heads, the three saw Lin Jing’s steadfast gaze and, without hesitation, immediately moved to Lin Jing’s side.

Lin Jing pulled out an Array Plate from his Storage Bag and then embedded five Spirit Stones into the grooves of the Array Plate.

Next, a light barrier rose up, enveloping the group, then slowly expanded to cover half of Lin Jing’s courtyard before it finally stopped.

“Defensive Array Plate!”

Yan Xiong exclaimed excitedly,

“Lin brother, when did you get this amazing item.”

“Someone lent it to me. I didn’t expect it would come in handy just now,” Lin Jing said.

That Defensive Array Plate had been lent to Lin Jing by Elder Yu because of the previous beast tide.

However, the beast tide had yet to start when it was wiped out by the Golden Core Cultivators who had entered the Night Mist Mountain Range.

Lin Jing had thought about returning the Array Plate to Elder Yu.

But with the recent busyness, he hadn’t had the chance to go, and now, it had serendipitously become useful at this critical moment.

Luckily, he hadn’t returned it, or else he would have been doomed today.

“How effective is this Array Plate?”

Wei Zhengqing was still somewhat worried. After all, there were several Foundation Establishment stage Demonic Beasts outside. If the defense was inadequate, they might all end up as Demonic Beast fodder.

“Don’t worry, Brother Wei.”

The defensive capability of the formation within this Array Plate was extraordinary. As long as it wasn’t an attack strength exceeding the Golden Core stage, it could withstand it.

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhengqing also breathed a sigh of relief..
