Chapter 14: A Ray of Hope
To be honest, Lian Yun was quite satisfied with the sixty thousand Disciple of the Sword Spirit Sect sent by Elder Mei, or rather, he was pleased with how the Xianjian Sect trained its disciples.
The newly arrived Liu Wanli was someone Lian Yun had noticed. Regardless of his actual strength, his state of mind was remarkably high. Perhaps among the four core disciples who had left the city, Liu Wanli's understanding of the Ten Thousand Swords Classic was the most profound.
As for the other two disciples who dared not leave the city, they were not without merit either. They were primarily concerned about their fellow sect members.
Before having complete confidence, they refrained from taking anyone out of the city, fearing that their inadequacies might lead to their companions' demise. However, if they were to venture out alone at the risk of their lives, they would likely charge forward without hesitation, even knowing it could mean death.
That was enough.
Just as Lian Yun turned to leave, he suddenly paused and turned back to the two. "Two thousand disciples will continue practicing the Ten Thousand Swords Classic. You two should also prepare to leave the city! In case something unexpected happens to them, you are both ready to take their places at any moment."
"Yes! We obey!" The two bowed deeply and immediately ran toward the city gate.
If previously they hesitated to lead a team out of fear for their fellow disciples' safety, now that there was a chance they could save them, both were resolute in their decision.
Lian Yun smiled slightly and took off into the air.
At that moment, a man emerged from a nearby Teleportation Array. Upon seeing Lian Yun, he immediately shouted, "Young Master Bai, Insect Emperor is calling for you to hurry and send him the dragon suit!"
The majority of the crowd within the city walls swayed in disbelief, utterly speechless.
"Insect Emperor, you are a seasoned Peerless Monarch; could you not show some restraint?"
This was likely a true reflection of countless people's thoughts.
Lian Yun felt somewhat speechless as well but nodded in agreement after a moment of hesitation.
If it weren't for matters concerning Xianyang City and some task required by Insect Emperor himself, Lian Yun might not have lent the Silver Dragon Armor to him. After all, the Silver Dragon Armor was borrowed from Xiao Jun.
However, if it was for the residents of Xianyang City, Lian Yun was still willing to set aside principles and lend Xiao Jun's Silver Dragon Armor to Insect Emperor.
With that settled, Lian Yun said no more. He summoned the Twelve Fierce Warriors to follow him and collected a large amount of White Spirit Coins from the ground before shattering them.
Thus, Lian Yun transformed the Spiritual Energy within a radius of one hundred meters into swords of Spiritual Energy surrounding him. This not only protected himself and the Twelve Fierce Warriors but also allowed him to control even more spiritual power.
Before reaching the Three Major Troops, Lian Yun had already killed all the Top Emperor-level Chaos Beasts and many high-level Emperor-level Chaos Beasts nearby.
However, his main target remained the Peerless Monarch-level Chaos Beasts.
Although he had worn the Silver Dragon Armor once before, it was merely to sense its power; he had not actually controlled anything. Nevertheless, he quickly regained the feeling of combat from his time in the Land of Huaxia.
At the same time, Lian Yun shifted his sword technique to a draw technique. It wasn't a complete unification of spirit and energy, but that seemingly casual strike opened a path through the Beast Tide.
This was why he didn't kill them one by one; his attacks would also affect other high-level Supreme Chaos Beasts.
When facing the Peerless Emperor-level Chaos Soul Beasts, it wasn't much of a problem. However, to achieve a one-hit kill would require nearly eighty percent of his energy and spirit.
Whenever it reached this point, the Twelve Fierce Warriors would form a formation, using their Yang Zai Xing and darkness to protect Lian Yun, giving him time to recover.
As a result, although Lian Yun only killed four Peerless Monarch-level Chaos Beasts during this journey, it took him longer than Xiao Jun.
However, when he returned to the city walls, there was nothing much to worry about for now.
Xiao Jun had killed eight beasts, and Lian Yun's side had also taken down eight. Even if there were still some Peerless Monarch-level Chaos Beasts left, their numbers shouldn't exceed two.
This wasn't arrogance but rather confidence—confidence in his own insight.
They could confirm that they had killed all existing Peerless Monarch-level Chaos Beasts within the Beast Tide; they just couldn't guarantee that Yin Yang City wouldn't send more Peerless Monarch-level Chaos Beasts over.
Even if some were sent, their numbers shouldn't be too many; otherwise, it would feel excessive.
After returning, Lian Yun instructed someone to send the Silver Dragon Armor to the Insect Emperor. Soon after, he personally went over and forcibly retrieved it despite the Insect Emperor's unwilling expression. He then immediately ordered it to be sent back to Xiao Jun.
It wasn't that Lian Yun was unwilling to lend the Silver Dragon Armor to other Peerless Monarchs; he simply didn't trust them as much.
Only those who had used the Silver Dragon Armor could truly understand the immense boost it provided. Essentially, anyone wearing the Silver Dragon Armor became invincible among their peers.
If other Peerless Monarchs developed greed after using the Silver Dragon Armor and refused to return it, Lian Yun wouldn't have any means to deal with them.
So to avoid future troubles, after letting the Insect Emperor use it, he promptly returned the Silver Dragon Armor to Xiao Jun.
Even so, the atmosphere in Xianyang City began to gradually brighten.
Because Lian Yun was now able to step back, Zhuang Wuxue might not be able to hunt a Peerless Monarch-level Chaos Beast alone, but it was still reassuring for her to guard the city walls. This allowed the other two Peerless Monarchs on the walls to venture out and hunt the Peerless Monarch-level Chaos Beasts.
Moreover, after ensuring everything was in place with the Insect Emperor, they could also move to other walls to speed up their hunting efforts.
There was no doubt that a solitary and powerful Peerless Monarch like the Insect Emperor would give his all, as he surely aimed for a higher ranking and greater rewards.
It was worth noting that during the New Year Gala, he had even asked Lan Ruoxuan for a hundred Diamond Spirit Coins. How could he possibly let go of this opportunity to earn a large amount of Diamond Spirit Coins?
Thus, after successfully killing thirty-six Peerless Monarch-level Chaos Beasts around Xianyang City, the pressure felt by the people in the city dissipated. They only awaited the night to draw near, marking the end of the Beast Tide at midnight.
In fact, Luoyang City had awakened even earlier than Xianyang City. Although Xiao Jun did not care much for wealth, he was willing to contribute to his Sect. Therefore, after the Silver Dragon Armor returned, he went outside another wall to hunt Peerless Monarch-level Chaos Beasts.
Additionally, Luoyang City had the Xi Men Family, a strong Major Power. Together with the Twelve Yama Guards, they possessed the strength to hunt Peerless Monarchs. Not to mention there was also Xi Men Xiangyang, a Peerless Monarch.
In summary, due to Xiao Jun's unexpected rise, Luoyang City could be considered the strongest city among the Four Great Cities of Huaxia in battle.
Naturally, this made the people in the city feel relatively more at ease.
