After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

"Manman, are you alright? Are you hurt?" As soon as the battle ended, Yu Jinchen flew to Xu Qingman's side and asked her with great concern.

"I'm fine, are you alright too?" Xu Qingman smiled at him, her eyes full of gentle light.

Yu Jinchen gently put his arm around her waist and said softly, "Come on, let's go back and get some rest."

Seeing that the two seemed to have forgotten about them, Lei Zhensheng reached out and called out, "Hey! Wait for us."

Meng Nanchuan shook his head helplessly. His senior brother was already hundreds of years old, yet he was still so carefree. Had he forgotten that Fellow Daoist Yu and Fellow Daoist Xu were lovers? They needed to leave some time alone for each other.

After returning to the inn, the two ate some spiritual food and then went into their spatial dimension to discuss the battle.

The two raised the problems they encountered in their previous battle and then discussed together which move they should use to kill the monster faster.

In the end, the two even started a magical duel, trying to resolve the situation using different techniques.

Afterwards, Xu Qingman leaned gently on Yu Jinchen's shoulder and sighed softly. She had been here for several months and missed her family.

"Dong dong."

A knock sounded at the door, and Lei Zhensheng shouted from outside: "Fellow Daoist Yu, Fellow Daoist Xu, the people from the City Lord's Mansion have sent word that there are too many demonic beasts outside the city, and we may be overwhelmed. Everyone is to leave the city as soon as possible to meet the enemy together."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Qingman and the other person slipped outside the door. Since the enemy situation was serious, they definitely had to go out and help as soon as possible.

Before leaving, Yu Jinchen asked the other cultivators, "Do you have enough spiritual medicines and talismans for self-defense? If not, I have plenty more here."

Everyone shook their heads, indicating that they didn't need it, but Lin Qingshuang immediately replied, "I don't have many spirit-replenishing pills on me. I was planning to buy some later. If Fellow Daoist Yu has any extra, please lend me some first. I will buy some and pay you back after we defeat the demon beast."

After giving Lin Qingshuang two bottles of Spirit-Replenishing Pills, the group flew out of the city on their swords.

During the fight against the beast tide, the city rule prohibiting flight was abolished, and everything was focused on resisting the monsters.

When they arrived outside the city and looked down from the air, the endless stream of demonic beasts rushing towards Dragon Hidden City looked like wisps of smoke coming from the east, a truly awe-inspiring sight.

No wonder they sent all the cultivators in the city to meet the enemy; the previous two waves of demonic beasts probably didn't have as many as this one.

Xu Qingman glanced at the crowd that was on high alert. There were more cultivators wearing the uniforms of the city lord's mansion guards than before. It seemed that the city lord's mansion had come out in full force.

She immediately confirmed this with the words of two local cultivators beside her. The city lord's mansion had indeed mobilized its entire force this time, including all of his high-level Nascent Soul stage cultivators who had left the city to prepare for battle.

Xu Qingman's heart sank, and she silently transmitted her voice to Yu Jinchen: "Jinchen, if we are really no match for them, we should quickly hide in the space and not worry about being exposed."

"Yes, I understand, that's exactly what I wanted to tell you."

As it turned out, Xu Qingman's worries were not unfounded. When this batch of demonic beasts arrived, she felt a sudden pang of fear.

The monsters at the forefront of the horde were not the third or fourth tier monsters, nor even the fifth, sixth, or seventh tier monsters.

A dozen or so eighth-tier demonic beasts stood in a row, their icy gazes seemingly capable of freezing one to death. Some of the lower-level demonic beasts, upon meeting their eyes, coughed up blood after just one glance.

Upon seeing this situation, twenty or thirty cultivators at the Nascent Soul and Spirit Transformation stages immediately stepped forward and ordered those below the Nascent Soul stage to retreat.

Even so, the difference in strength between the two sides was still huge. In addition to the dozen or so eighth-tier demonic beasts, the opposing side also had dozens of seventh-tier beasts, and countless fifth-tier and sixth-tier beasts.

War was about to break out, and before Xu Qingman and the others could react, the two sides were already locked in combat.

In an instant, all that could be seen outside the city gate was blood splattering everywhere. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to describe it as a scene of corpses strewn across the field and blood flowing like a river.

Of course, far more demonic beasts died than human cultivators. After all, at this point, no one cared about the value of magic weapons or talismans anymore; they just threw handfuls of them at the demonic beast horde.

Xu Qingman did the same thing; killing one more monster would increase their chances of winning.

Unfortunately, it seems the monsters are endless. Every time you kill one batch, another immediately takes its place.

Moreover, the monsters seem tireless; as long as they are not killed in one go, even if they are missing an arm or a leg, they will still charge forward relentlessly.

Xu Qingman had just killed a fourth-tier demonic beast and was about to replenish her spiritual energy when she was targeted by a fifth-tier demonic beast.

In the sky, a black figure swooped down. Xu Qingman instinctively swung her sword to block, and with two clangs, the sword in her hand broke in two.

Without thinking twice, Xu Qingman quickly slid to the side and realized that what she had just seen was actually a huge rooster.

Looking at the rooster that weighed no less than 200 pounds in front of her, Xu Qingman swore that it was the biggest rooster she had ever seen in her life.

On the chicken-like beast's two claws, its toes had evolved into two foot-long, sharp knives, emitting a ghostly black light. And... its beak was likely also its weapon.

Seeing Xu Qingman escape, it rushed over like lightning, spewing out a blue fire dragon from its mouth.

Xu Qingman had only recently formed her Nascent Soul, and was completely powerless against a fifth-tier demonic beast, only able to dodge.

Fortunately, this was just a chicken demon. If it had encountered a wolf demon or pig demon known for its fighting prowess, it would probably be seriously injured by now.

Frustrated that it couldn't defeat the human's cultivation level, the chicken demon leaped onto Xu Qingman's head, its two kicks trailing blue flames as it slashed down at her.

No, slowly.

Xu Qingman had already been forced into a corner and thought she was going to get hurt, when she heard Yu Jinchen yell and pounce on her.

Before she could react, Yu Jinchen had already swept her away quite a distance. When the monster attacked again, Yu Jinchen swiftly unleashed a sword strike, the powerful sword energy severing half of its head in an instant.

The monster immediately let out two piercing cries. Xu Qingman, who was already exhausted, was so shocked by the sound waves that her head was buzzing and she felt like she was about to faint.

After Yu Jinchen completely killed the demon beast with his sword, he quickly stuffed a pill to replenish her spiritual energy into her mouth and stood beside her to protect her.

The battle on the ground was already fierce, but in the air it was even more terrifying. Those high-level cultivators were almost facing two equally powerful demonic beasts each, and they were all on the verge of being overwhelmed.

Xu Qingman discovered that the city lord, who had been overseeing the battle from the city wall, was now facing off against two eighth-tier wolf cultivators.

Meanwhile, on the demon beast side, the ninth-tier demon beast was eyeing the battlefield menacingly, preparing to join the fray.

Unfortunately, the city lord of Dragon Hidden City was entangled by two wolf demons and could not escape, so the human cultivators could no longer find any high-level cultivators who could fight them.

A cold smile appeared on the lips of the ninth-tier wolf demon as it flew into the battlefield, ready to personally end the war.

Many people watched this scene, closed their eyes, and sighed inwardly, "Alas! I'm afraid I'm going to lose my life here this time."

Xu Qingman and Yu Jinchen held hands, preparing to hide in the Qingxuan Space. However, the thirty-odd cultivators who were traveling with them were likely to perish here.

At this critical moment of life and death, everyone seemed to hear a roar coming from the depths of the sky: "You beast, how dare you be so insolent in front of us!"
