Chapter 1208: The Redbud King (1/2)
Once again, the city was cleared of all arcane beasts, but once again, more beasts outside of the city walls charged in.
Lost looks appeared in the eyes of Redbud cultivators when they looked outside their home. It was a similar look to when the beasts first encountered the Nineturns Sky Curtain Formation.
The mighty enforcers had continuously waded into battle and killed hordes of beasts—hordes that numbered in the hundreds of millions. Why was there still an unending tide of them outside, why were there still so many to be killed?
So many… too many… much too many. So many that it made one forget how hope felt!
A lethargy crept up on all of the cultivators—not of the body, but of the heart.
However, the little fox didn’t give up. She knew that Lu Yun had found a way to handle the tide of beasts. All would be over if that drum was taken out of commission.
……
“Mi, milord!” Jian Wenhe surreptitiously sought out Zhuo Bufan and smiled fawningly. “The two black-robed enforcers have displayed your might. Is it your turn now?”
In the eyes of the public, black robed enforcers were the strongest group among the Enforcer Alliance. Only the executives ranked above them, and those almost possessed the battle strength of superiors.
Sadly, Zhuo Bufan had become an executive simply due to his father being a king within the alliance. He himself was a blockhead, made evident by the fact that the son of a king was just in the common realm.
“Hmph!” Zhuo Bufan snorted. “Two black robes are enough for a mere tide of beasts. There’s no need for this seat to personally take action.”
“U-understood!” Jian Wenhe tucked his head in, looking like he’d been released from a grave burden.
Zhuo Bufan flicked a glance at the city lord, frowning slightly behind his mask. He perceptively picked up on a feeling that there was something wrong with the man.
“Ah, yes!” Jian Wenhe suddenly shoved his face in front of Zhuo Bufan and asked merrily, “Master Enforcer, is the black robed enforcer married?”
He smiled the knowing smile of a man, whereas a Justice token appeared in Zhuo Bufan’s hands and flashed warningly.
“If you dare have any thoughts about her, I can kill you without having to report it to the Enforcer Alliance.” His voice sounded like a devil crawled out of the Hadal Hell.
The city lord shuddered with dread and fell to his knees to whine for mercy.
Deep disgust flashed through Zhuo Bufan’s eyes and he sent the man flying with a kick. After landing, Jian Wenhe raised his head and looked at the little fox in the air, then ducked his head, not daring to chance a second look. He was indeed afraid of death.
……
Though Oddmoon didn’t require the little fox’s personal strength, the illusory realm did, and it was far too taxing on her mind. She didn’t know how long had passed either, she’d sunk into a deep fatigue a while ago.
Hummm.
A loud buzz rang through the air as fearsome drumming broke through her illusion. The countless beasts tearing at each other came to an abrupt halt, awakening to the true situation. Under further deployment from the war drum, they about-faced and pounced on the city cultivators.
The little fox sighed softly and directed the moonlight to take solid form again, cutting down the ferocious beasts.
However, they seemed to be acting under certain directions this time and tangled themselves with the Redbud defenders. If the keen moonlight descended, it would churn the cultivators to bits along with the beasts.
