Five high-level elite ferocious beasts, the Storm Eagle has already been slain, leaving only the Mother and Child Apes and two Thunder Rampage Beasts. Apart from the already slain Storm Eagle, the Mother and Child Apes pose the greatest threat to Flowing Cloud City, with the strongest combat capabilities. Most terrifyingly, the Child Ape and the Mother Ape never separate, always fighting side by side. It is extremely difficult to separate them, with a very low success rate.
At this moment, Lin Hao temporarily did not think too much about the problem of the Mother and Child Apes. He stood on the back of a mid-level flying bird, flying toward a Thunder Rampage Lion ahead.
Soon, Lin Hao was about a dozen zhang away from the Thunder Rampage Lion. The Thunder Rampage Lion did not move, but the beast tide below looked up at the sky, roaring incessantly.
Dozens of ordinary king-level flying birds immediately flew toward Lin Hao, their sharp claws ready to tear him to pieces.
Lin Hao did not move, but the mid-level flying bird beneath him let out a fierce cry, charging into the flock of flying birds like a bolt of lightning. With Lin Hao's cooperation, it took only a few breaths for the flock of flying birds to be almost completely wiped out, with only one or two instinctively escaping.
The ferocious beasts below, unable to fly in the air, could only stare at Lin Hao with venomous eyes, powerless.
The ferocious beast tide could not pose a threat to Lin Hao, but this did not mean Lin Hao was helpless. He controlled ten flying knives, which rushed into the beast tide like auroras, slaughtering many ordinary king-level ferocious beasts with overwhelming force.
If one were to ask which martial artist from the large and small families of Flowing Cloud City had killed the most ferocious beasts today, it would undoubtedly be Lin Hao. He alone had already slain over a hundred ferocious beasts, nearly two hundred.
Now, the number of ferocious beasts had been reduced by more than half, from over a thousand to only four or five hundred.
Naturally, the beast tide no longer posed a catastrophic threat to Flowing Cloud City, with the main threats being the Mother and Child Apes and the Thunder Rampage Lions.
...
Lin Hao did not need to move, using his divine sense to control the flying knives to slay the ferocious beasts. The ten flying knives, like machines reaping the lives of the ferocious beasts, instinctively caused the ferocious beasts surrounding the Thunder Rampage Lion to retreat in fear. They were completely powerless against the flying knives controlled by Lin Hao.
Just now, a mid-level ordinary ferocious beast, in a fit of rage, opened its mouth and swallowed two flying knives. In less than a few breaths, the flying knives pierced through the mid-level ferocious beast's belly, staining the ground with blood.
"That kid Lin Hao, is he planning to challenge the Thunder Rampage Lion alone!" Elder Lin Chen pulled himself out, his gaze falling on Lin Hao, who was clearing the beast tide around the Thunder Rampage Lion.
Elder Lin Chen was spot on. In the next second, he broke out in a cold sweat as he saw Lin Hao use his divine sense to control the ten flying knives, beginning to attack the Thunder Rampage Lion.
The ten flying knives stabbed haphazardly into the Thunder Rampage Lion's massive head.
"Roar...!"
Suddenly, a roar from the Thunder Rampage Lion made Lin Hao feel a sharp pain on his skin, as if he had been hit by an electric current.
Swoosh!
Before Lin Hao could think further, the Thunder Rampage Lion's thick and powerful hind legs pushed off the ground, propelling its body straight into the air, lunging toward the mid-level flying bird Lin Hao was riding.
This leap was over a dozen zhang high. Fortunately, Yu Yao reacted in time, making the flying bird quickly dodge to the side, narrowly avoiding the Thunder Rampage Lion's attack.
The Thunder Rampage Lion, failing to land its attack, roared in anger, a hint of white light flashing in its large eyes.
In an instant, two beams of lightning as thick as buckets shot from the Thunder Rampage Lion's eyes, aiming directly at Lin Hao on the back of the flying bird.
Seeing this, Lin Hao did not panic. He quickly controlled five flying knives to intercept the lightning.
Boom!
Like the sound of a thunderclap in the dog days of summer, Lin Hao's five flying knives, though they blocked the lightning from the Thunder Rampage Lion's eyes, were all shattered into dust.
The material of these flying knives was quite good, and they were reinforced with a certain pattern. Even such flying knives were shattered into dust. If the lightning had hit Lin Hao, the consequences would have been unimaginable. His physical strength and the flying knives were not on the same level...
The destruction of the flying knives was completely unexpected by Lin Hao. He did not expect the Thunder Rampage Lion's lightning power to be so strong.
"My flying knives cannot cause substantial damage to the Thunder Rampage Lion. I just need to lure it a hundred meters away." Lin Hao made up his mind, using only one flying knife to attack the Thunder Rampage Lion.
Lin Hao's flying knife could not harm the Thunder Rampage Lion, but it was a blatant provocation, making the Thunder Rampage Lion furious.
Seeing the Thunder Rampage Lion chasing him, Lin Hao rode the flying bird toward the city center. He only needed to lure the Thunder Rampage Lion to an open area.
"Prepare quickly!" Lin Hao shouted to the head of the Yu family.
Hearing this, the head of the Yu family leaped toward Lin Hao.
Now, the Thunder Rampage Lion had left the beast tide area, with only a dozen or so ordinary king-level ferocious beasts around, which were not a threat.
"Good timing!" Seeing the Thunder Rampage Lion chase Lin Hao to this place, the head of the Yu family immediately activated his spellbook.
Swish!
A golden light shot through the air.
At this moment, the Thunder Rampage Lion, still chasing Lin Hao, did not notice the rapidly approaching golden light.
Instantly, the golden light struck the Thunder Rampage Lion's forehead, and in the next second, the Thunder Rampage Lion froze, like a statue.
"Kill!" Seeing his attack succeed, the head of the Yu family looked at the many high-ranking members of the four major families and shouted urgently.
There was no need for the head of the Yu family to speak. Lin Hao's process of luring the Thunder Rampage Lion had been observed by everyone. Especially after the head of the Yu family used the spellbook to immobilize the Thunder Rampage Lion, the high-ranking members of the four major families had already rushed over at the same time.
Over twenty high-ranking members, each using their strongest martial arts, attacked the Thunder Rampage Lion's head, just as they had done with the Storm Eagle.
In about ten seconds, the Thunder Rampage Lion's head exploded, and it died in frustration.
If it came to combat power, even without the immobilization spell, these over twenty high-ranking members could easily take down a high-level elite ferocious beast. With the Thunder Rampage Lion immobilized, it could only take hits and not fight back. If it could still survive, that would be truly bizarre.
"Ha ha ha!"
"Another one is dead. Flowing Cloud City will surely be saved today!"
"Lin Hao, thank you!"
"Lin Hao, well done! Having a disciple like you is not only a blessing for the Lin family but also for Flowing Cloud City!"
After quickly slaying the Thunder Rampage Lion, the large and small local families of Flowing Cloud City praised Lin Hao endlessly.
Only some of the high-ranking members of the Luo family did not look pleased. After all, their family had a significant grudge against Lin Hao...
...
Just as everyone was talking, another Thunder Rampage Lion let out a mournful roar, leading a beast tide of about two hundred ferocious beasts, rapidly charging toward this place.
"Quickly retreat!" The head of the Yu family retracted his spellbook and fled backward.
The spellbook could only be used once in a certain period, with at least half an hour between uses.
Currently, the scale of the beast tide had already decreased significantly compared to the beginning. Apart from the Mother and Child Apes, everyone was no longer afraid. The remaining Thunder Rampage Lion was no longer a threat.
Just as everyone's morale was soaring, Lin Hao's brows suddenly furrowed, his gaze looking toward the distant sky.
"What a terrifying aura..." Lin Hao was secretly alarmed. An overwhelming aura was approaching Flowing Cloud City.
Lin Hao did not expect that in such a small place, there could be such a terrifying aura.
Rumble!
Suddenly, a deafening sound echoed, and the city's protective array at the rear suddenly shattered, causing Flowing Cloud City to tremble violently, as if a natural disaster had struck.
Even the Mother and Child Apes and the remaining Thunder Rampage Lion were startled, their eyes looking backward.
"A woman?" The head of the Lin family was the first to notice the figure behind.
The newcomer was a woman, with black hair casually draped over her shoulders, reaching below her waist.
The woman wore a white light robe, her steps neither fast nor slow, even a bit unsteady. She placed her delicate hand on her chest, her face not looking good.
"So beautiful... so beautiful a woman..." Lin Xiu Rui looked at the woman, his eyesεζ», amazed that such beauty could exist in the world!
If Lin Yan'er and Lin Caiyi of the Lin family were considered beauties in Flowing Cloud City, they would be like fireflies compared to the moon when compared to this woman.
Even the first beauty of Flowing Cloud City would feel inferior and unable to hold her head up in the presence of such beauty.
Especially now, the woman's face was somewhat haggard, evoking a strong sense of protectiveness, making one want to guard her closely, never letting her out of sight.
"Like a fairy from legend... Could she be a celestial maiden who has stepped out of a painting..." Lin Zhen's expression was no different from Lin Xiu Rui's, both of them completely stunned.
At this moment, all the male disciples of the large and small forces in Flowing Cloud City were captivated by the woman's beauty, which was so extraordinary that even Lin Hao could not help but look a few more times.
"This woman... I feel like I've seen her somewhere..." Lin Hao was puzzled. The woman's face seemed familiar, but he could not recall where he had seen her.
"To be able to casually break the city's protective array, this young lady must be very powerful, likely having opened at least the fifth gate of the earth!" The head of the Luo family was delighted. With a powerful person arriving in Flowing Cloud City, they could definitely get her to deal with the beast tide!
Not just the high-ranking members of the Luo family, but everyone present had the same thought. If the woman was willing to help, combined with the head of the Yu family's immobilization spell, the Mother and Child Apes and the Thunder Rampage Lion would be no threat at all!
Immediately, an elder of the Luo family leaped forward, approaching the woman and bowing. "Young lady... our Flowing Cloud City is suffering a great calamity. Seeing your formidable strength, I wonder if you could lend a hand. The people of Flowing Cloud City will always remember your great kindness!"
The elder of the Luo family spoke sincerely. If it were a regular powerful person, they would likely agree to help with such a minor effort.
However, the next scene left the people of Flowing Cloud City in shock.
The woman did not respond, not even looking at the elder of the Luo family. She casually waved her jade hand, and in an instant, the elder's body was reduced to nothingness!
What!!
This scene left everyone's stunned gazes turning to disbelief, surprise, and even fear.
Who was this woman? The elder of the Luo family had not been disrespectful, yet she had killed him without hesitation!
