Chapter 18 With me here, Bo City will not perish!
A rare look of surprise appeared on Wu Ku's usually calm and composed face.

He gazed at the sparse remnants of the demon army before him; what was once a mighty force of tens of thousands had now dwindled to less than three thousand.

Who on earth is so persistent as to hunt demons in this wilderness day after day?

What's even more puzzling is that the other side seems to specifically target the lair of demons, launching a thorough and complete annihilation campaign as if sweeping away the entire lair.

In just a few months, all the demon strongholds within a hundred miles of Bo City were wiped out.

Wu Ku's withered fingers unconsciously rubbed his staff, a hint of gloom flashing in his cloudy eyes.

This plan, which had been in preparation for many years, encountered such a change at the last minute.

"When did Bocheng produce such a person?"

His hoarse voice drifted in the wind, and his chapped lips were pressed into a thin line.

A distant, uneasy growl came from the demons. Wu Ku slowly raised his head to look at the dark, cloud-covered sky. At this moment, the arrow was on the bowstring and had to be released.

Meanwhile, on the other side of Bo City.

Thousands of one-eyed demon wolves were driven to madness by the raging spring, their crimson eyes bloodshot, and saliva mixed with blood dripping from between their fangs.

They no longer feared pain, no longer maintained their rationality, and were left only with the most primal killing desires, which surged into Bo City like a tidal wave.

"Roar--!!"

The first demonic wolf smashed through the city gate, followed by the second, the third... The beast tide, like a flood bursting its banks, instantly engulfed the streets.

Sharp claws tore through flesh and blood, and a piercing scream ripped through the night sky.

Blood meandered along the bluestone pavement, converging into streaks of glaring red.

Before the city's defense forces could mount an effective resistance, they were overwhelmed by the raging tide of beasts.

The magicians' star trails had barely lit up when they were torn to shreds by the onrushing dire wolves.

Blood stained the entire city.

A piercing alarm blared across the sky, and blinding red light flashed wildly on the city walls.

Blood alert!
The end of Bo City has come.

While the citizens were still staring blankly at the rising warning signals, the mages, led by Yang Zuohe of the Magic Association, had already taken decisive action.

Under the guise of a "safety drill," they quickly organized the evacuation of the population. However, the disaster struck too fast and too suddenly.

Thousands of one-eyed demon wolves swept through the city like a plague, their sharp claws and teeth easily tearing apart the fragile defenses.

Bo City is not large, but there were still too many people who did not have time to escape to the safe zone.

Screams echoed through the streets and alleys, and blood stained the streets where the morning mist had not yet dissipated.

"Bo City is doomed."

In an old residential area, a young mother tightly hugged her baby and slowly slid down to the ground, leaning against the mottled wall.

Her pupils reflected the approaching demonic wolf, its single eye glowing crimson, and the blood of the previous victim dripping from its fangs.

The woman trembled as she held the child to her chest, using her frail body to form the last barrier.

She closed her eyes, awaiting death.
“——Buzz!”

Suddenly, a dazzling golden light burst forth from the demon wolf!
The light was like a sword of judgment, instantly spreading spiderweb-like cracks across the wolf's body.

"boom!"

With a deafening explosion, the three-meter-tall demonic wolf was instantly blasted into a bloody mist, its shredded flesh and bones vaporizing in the golden light.

The woman opened her eyes blankly and saw a tall, slender figure slowly retracting his golden fist amidst the golden dust.
"As long as I am here, Bo City will not perish."

Chen Yuan's figure was like a sharp sword nailed to the center of the ruins, his blood-stained white clothes fluttering in the bloody wind.

He stood with the shattered head of a demon wolf beneath his feet, golden light still swirling between his fingers.

Those eyes, like the sharp edge of a tempered blade, burned with an inextinguishable fighting spirit.

The distant howls of wolves echoed, and more crimson single eyes lit up in the smoke and dust.

But when he stepped in front of the woman, even the frenzied horde of beasts paused. "Thank you... thank you so much for saving my life, Master!"

The woman's voice trembled with sobs, and tears streamed down her soot-covered face, leaving two pale streaks.

She staggered to her feet, and the baby in her arms seemed to sense her emotions, letting out a faint cry.

A lone figure under a blood-red sky

Chen Yuan stood atop the crumbling city wall, with the starlight of the Magic Association, the cold glint of the Hunter Alliance's blades, and the military behind him, forming a makeshift team.

The three forces intertwined to form the last line of defense, yet it still appeared so flimsy.

He looked up at the sky.

Within those churning leaden clouds, faint flashes of scarlet lightning could be seen.

Over the past few months, he had razed seventeen demon lairs on the outskirts of Bo City, slaying enough demonic beasts to form mountains. But fate, like these dark clouds, was ultimately inescapable and unbreakable.

"Wu Ku."

The fingertips dug deeply into the palm.

The water-based disaster victim hiding behind the scenes was like a puppeteer manipulating strings, and even with all his might, he could only sever a few of them.

The screams from below the city walls suddenly became piercing.

Chen Yuan's pupils contracted sharply, and his figure flashed down the city wall like golden lightning. Since he couldn't break this deadlock...

Then kill them!

Wherever the fist passed, the wolf's skull exploded in bursts of blood.

He deliberately steered the battlefield away from the refuge, and every fallen monster corpse became a stepping stone for the people to survive.

When the seventh Bone-Spiked Ferocious Wolf, a warrior-level creature, was torn to pieces in the golden light, Chen Yuan's white robes were no longer recognizable as their original color.

Since Heaven intends to destroy Bocheng.

I will use this flesh and blood as ink to write the word "life" in this dead end!

"The sword demon, who has been asleep for ten thousand years, should awaken."

Chen Yuan's eyes suddenly turned silver-white, and he lightly traced a line in the air with his fingertips.

"Zheng!"

A moonlit ripple spread across the blood-red sky, as if space had been cleaved by an invisible sword, revealing a pitch-black dimensional rift.

In an instant, the air on the entire battlefield seemed to freeze.

The demonic wolf, which was tearing at the military mage, suddenly froze, its single eye reflecting the ever-widening crack.

The ground began to tremble, not from the horde of beasts rushing in, but from a dimensional resonance caused by the awakening of something more ancient and terrifying.

"boom--!"

Suddenly, half of a bronze giant sword pierced out of the crack, and the chains wrapped around the sword broke apart inch by inch.

When those rusty chain links fell to the ground, they crushed all the demon wolves within a hundred meters into a bloody pulp.

Chen Yuan's white robes danced wildly in the dimensional storm as he reached out and grasped the hilt of the sword that slowly emerged from the crack.

The moment my fingertips touched the ancient bronze sword.

"Qiang!"

A sword aura that stretched across the heavens and earth soared into the sky, even splitting the blood-red clouds in the sky in two.

At this moment, every living being in Bo City heard that sword cry that transcended eternity, followed by a hoarse whisper that seemed to come from the depths of hell:

"My lord, Sword Demon, heed my command!"
