Several third-tier Demonic Beasts soared out from the Beast Tide, charging towards the Flying Boats. Each Flying Boat released a Golden Core Cultivator to confront these formidable creatures.
With the intervention of Golden Core Cultivators to block the Demonic Beasts, the Flying Boats continued their assault on the side of the Beast Tide, disrupting their offensive.
The two Flying Boats directly facing the Beast Tide were under immense pressure and could only fight and retreat.
Fortunately, the Flying Boats were equipped with defensive shields. As long as the shields held, the Cultivators on board remained safe, focusing on slaying the Demonic Beasts without concern.
The forefront Demonic Beasts, though robust and powerful, were scattered by the Foundation Building Cultivators on the Flying Boats, easing the momentum of the Beast Tide.
The two leading Flying Boats slowly retreated, finally reaching the airspace above the city walls, where they joined forces with the Cultivators defending on the walls to repel the Beast Tide together.
As the Beast Tide reached below the city walls, the ten-zhang-high walls were not easily surmountable for the crawling Demonic Beasts.
Only the flying Demonic Beasts couldn't be entirely stopped and rushed into the city.
Boundary City had a total of just over ten thousand Cultivators, and with the Beast Tide attacking, the entire city was mobilized.
Most Cultivators were deployed to the city walls for defense, leaving only a few thousand who were not proficient in combat patrolling various areas within the city.
As an Alchemist, Wang Hong naturally fell into the category of those not skilled in combat.
The lack of combat skills among these Cultivators had no direct correlation with their personal strength. For instance, Wang Hong possessed a unique expertise.
If someone lacked both strength and a notable skill, they wouldn't be classified among those not skilled in combat but rather on the frontline, assigned to cannon fodder teams.
At this moment, Wang Hong, along with Wu Dayong, led eight Qi Cultivation Disciples to patrol the city streets.
Suddenly, a large group of flying Demonic Beasts entered the city. Upon entering, they began attacking the city's Cultivators and even launched surprise attacks from the rear on those defending the city.
Among them was a large flock of Black-winged Red-beaked Birds, heading straight for Wang Hong and his group. This flock comprised over a thousand birds.
These Demonic Beasts had a wingspan of about three feet, unable to use Magical Arts and relying solely on physical combat. Among them was a second-tier Bird King with a wingspan of six feet.
Wu Dayong engaged in a fierce battle with the second-tier Bird King, while Wang Hong led the remaining eight Qi Cultivation Cultivators to fend off the remaining first-tier Demonic Beasts.
Seeing the approaching horde, Wang Hong released Little Peng from the Spirit Beast pouch. It was an excellent opportunity for Little Peng to practice and gain combat experience, given the dark sky filled with flying Demonic Beasts.
Having strength alone was useless without practical combat experience, and Little Peng had too little experience in real battles. After emerging from the Spirit Beast pouch, it observed the densely packed sky and the numerous flying Demonic Beasts passing by from a distance.
When Wang Hong signaled for Little Peng to charge into the flock of birds and face the battle alone, it hesitated. The sky was filled with creatures of the same tier as itself.
Although it had faced thousands of Demonic Beasts before, that was merely a tactic to lure the enemy. This time, it was a genuine life-and-death situation.
Perhaps it had eaten too much this morning, upsetting Wang Hong, who wanted it to go to its death. Little Peng resolved to eat less in the future, especially from Wang Hong's bowl.
Seeing Little Peng hesitating, Wang Hong, controlling his Flying Sword to slay the descending demonic birds, kicked Little Peng from behind.
Despite Wang Hong's presence ensuring Little Peng's safety, no amount of persuasion seemed effective. Nearby Qi Cultivation Cultivators struggled against the attacking birds, feeling bitter about their leader's Spirit Beast being so timid and fearful.
Meanwhile, Foundation Building Cultivator Wu Dayong battled fiercely with the second-tier Bird King, occupied and unable to assist.
Suddenly, Wang Hong had an idea. He took out a small bottle, removed the cork, and a rich aroma of spirits wafted out.
This made Little Peng even more unwilling to engage in the fight. With transparent liquid dripping from its beak, it looked at Wang Hong with a resentful gaze.
Wang Hong aimed the bottle at Little Peng's mouth, pouring about a cup of the spirit. Little Peng swallowed it eagerly. Wang Hong then threw the bottle into the air, and in the ensuing struggle among the birds, it shattered, and Spirit Wine rained down, causing another commotion.
With a cup of Spirit Wine in its system, Little Peng began to swell. Seeing other Demonic Beasts daring to snatch its Spirit Wine, it became furious. With a flap of its wings, it soared into the sky, larger than the Black-winged Red-beaked Birds.
Little Peng, enhanced by Wang Hong's regular use of Refinement Pills, Golden Body Pills, and Essence Core Pills, dove into the flock like a tiger among sheep. With a single flap, it sent several Black-winged Red-beaked Birds flying. It grabbed one and split it in half, blood splattering.
Moving through the flock, Little Peng was unstoppable, showcasing incredible ferocity. This sudden turn of events significantly relieved the pressure on the Qi Cultivation Cultivators below.
Witnessing the power of the Foundation Building expert's Spirit Beast, the Cultivators felt a tinge of shame for their earlier doubts.
Seeing Little Peng in action, Wang Hong focused on controlling his Flying Sword to deal with approaching birds. Simultaneously, he used a Binding Spirit Rope to entangle the Bird King fighting Wu Dayong in the air.
Taking advantage of Bird King's distraction attacking Wu Dayong, the Binding Spirit Rope silently approached from behind. Demonic Beasts had weaker spiritual senses than human Cultivators.
By the time the Bird King noticed the Binding Spirit Rope, it was too late. It was quickly bound securely. Wu Dayong, well-practiced in coordination with Wang Hong, swiftly beheaded the Bird King.
After the Bird King's demise, the remaining lower-tier demonic birds, unrestrained, fell victim to Wang Hong, Wu Dayong, and the now empowered Little Peng.
After scattering the demonic bird group, Little Peng landed beside Wang Hong, head held high, exuding a triumphant air. Wang Hong patted its back and rewarded it with a pill.
Without much delay, Wang Hong and Wu Dayong, accompanied by a few Cultivators and Little Peng, charged towards another group of demonic birds.
While these demonic birds were slightly weaker than the previous horde attacking the city, leaving them unattended in the rear could jeopardize the safety of the city's defenders.
The battle on the city wall intensified, with demonic beasts occasionally breaching and being swiftly slain by defending Cultivators. Those that couldn't be quickly dispatched would occupy a section of the wall, providing an opportunity for more demonic beasts to climb up.
In such moments, the two Flying Boats would rush over, combining forces to eliminate the demonic beasts on the wall.
