Chapter 20 The Demon Army Approaches the City

Six months after Cai'er left Zhennanguan.

For the next six months, Lin Feng, as usual, began a boring and tedious cultivation process.

Just as Ling Xiao had expected, within half a year, with Lin Feng's extraordinary 110 points of innate spiritual power, Lin Feng's cultivation path proceeded without any obstacles.

Lin Feng's spiritual power has now reached 2,000 points, the peak of the fourth rank.

If it weren't for the prerequisite of converting the original gaseous spiritual power in the body into liquid form to break through to the fifth rank, Lin Feng would probably have already broken through to the fifth rank.

In the priest's sanctuary's solitary training room, Lin Feng felt the spiritual energy within his body, which was not yet fully liquefied, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"If Cai'er were still here, that would be great. With Cai'er as my sparring partner, my spiritual energy conversion speed could be improved a lot."

"You kid, you're not even eleven years old and you're already at the peak of the fourth rank. You're probably the only one in all of humanity to have achieved that."

"You're getting a good deal and still complaining. Besides, at your current rate of condensation, you can compress all your spiritual energy into a liquid state in at most half a month."

Ruoshui, who was standing to the side, also complained helplessly when she heard Lin Feng's words.

It's true that comparing yourself to others is infuriating. When he was eleven years old, he had only just stepped into the third tier.

Lin Feng, on the other hand, is already at the peak of the fourth rank, just one step away from the fifth rank.

It's important to know that after the third tier, the spiritual energy required to advance to each level is several times that of the previous level.

The spiritual power of a peak fourth-tier cultivator is four times that of a peak third-tier cultivator.

After breaking through to the fifth rank, liquid spiritual power becomes a devastating blow to gaseous spiritual power.

Some weaker individuals couldn't even break through a fifth-tier defense.

Faced with Ruoshui's complaints, Lin Feng chuckled and said, "I'm just trying to make the most of my time to improve."

Just as Ruoshui was about to offer Lin Feng a few words of comfort, a piercing alarm blared over Zhennanguan.

The moment the alarm sounded, Ruoshui, who had just seemed very relaxed, suddenly tensed up.

This is an alarm signaling a siege by ninth-tier demons!

"You focus on your cultivation. The demons are attacking the city; I have to go out!"

After saying that, Ruoshui prepared to leave. Seeing this, Lin Feng quickly stood up and grabbed Ruoshui's hand, saying, "Aunt Ruoshui, I also want to go to the city wall to take a look."

"Nonsense! With your current strength, what use would you be? Just stay here and cultivate!"

"Aunt Ruoshui, I know you're worried about me, but if I just stay behind closed doors and cultivate, what will I do if I really encounter the demon race in the future..." Seeing Ruoshui's somewhat moved expression, Lin Feng continued, "Take me with you."

After a moment of silence, Ruoshui nodded and said, "I can take you out, but you can't act on your own!"

Seeing that Ruoshui had agreed, Lin Feng happily said, "Don't worry, I promise I won't act on my own!"

(Please remember the website 202s.tw for the fastest chapter updates.)

Since arriving in this world, apart from the three wolf demons he encountered in the wild two years ago, Lin Feng has never seen any demons again.

It's not that there are no demons, but that he's been protected too well. Ever since Ruoshui discovered that his talent far surpasses that of ordinary people, she's been by his side almost every step of the way.

Even the matters concerning the Holy Temple Alliance were handled by Ruoshui through others.

Moreover, I am now at the peak of the fourth tier, and I have a certain ability to protect myself.

Furthermore, Lin Feng didn't want to be a hothouse flower.

Lin Feng always insisted that only real combat is the sole test of strength.

……

As the alarm sounded, the entire army in Zhennanguan was mobilized.

Because Zhennan Pass is located at the border between the human and demon races, it is common for the demon race to attack the city.

Ordinary people, on the other hand, just went about their business as usual.

Sleeping, eating, and sleeping on a warm bed as usual...

After all, even if the sky were to fall, the forbidden spell "Holy Light Protection" could still protect it.

Above Zhennan Pass, there is a huge holy light shield that covers the entire pass, and its sturdiness is even enough to withstand the attack of a ninth-level expert.

This is one of the key reasons why the Priest's Temple has been able to stand here and why the demons have been unable to conquer it for so long.

The one who maintains the forbidden spell "Holy Light Protection" is the successive temple masters of the Priest Temple.

Before long, led by Ruoshui, Lin Feng also arrived at the top of the city wall.

Ling Xiao, who had arrived earlier, frowned slightly upon seeing Lin Feng beside Ruoshui and asked, "Ruoshui, why did you bring Lin Feng along?"

Faced with Ling Xiao's reproach, Ruoshui slowly said, "Palace Master, Lin Feng is not young anymore, and his strength has already reached the peak of the fourth rank. It's time for him to make contact with the Demon Clan. Don't worry, I will protect him."

Upon hearing this, Ling Xiao pondered for a moment before nodding and saying, "His safety is in your hands now..."

Looking at the thick, dark clouds approaching on the horizon, Ling Xiao said in a deep voice, "The Demon Clan is making a huge show of force this time. Be extremely careful. If anything unexpected happens, come to my side immediately."

Just as Ling Xiaoxiao's voice fell.

Thick, dark clouds on the horizon had already pressed down on the area outside Zhennan Pass.

As the dark clouds drew closer, Lin Feng realized that they were not dark clouds at all, but rather a sky-covering, sun-obscuring demonic aura!

At noon, when the sun should have been shining brightly, the arrival of the demon army cast shadows over the entire Zhennan Pass.

Most importantly, as the demon army pressed in, a strong stench of blood, accompanied by a terrifying aura of bloodlust, swept over us like a sea of ​​blood through the holy light.

The pressure was so intense that Lin Feng, who was appearing on the city wall for the first time, was finding it hard to breathe.

This intense bloodlust was far beyond what one or two demons could match.

Ling Xiao, who was standing nearby, also noticed Lin Feng's discomfort and chuckled, "It's normal to have palpitations the first time. Once you've honed your killing intent, it will get much better."

"Okay, I understand, Teacher Ling Xiao." Lin Feng tried to control his breathing.

Seeing this, Ling Xiao said nothing more, his gaze fixed straight ahead, his eyes sharp, and he said in a deep voice, "Soldiers, defend against the enemy!"

Ling Xiao's voice, though soft, was like the sound of a drum, conveying a fervent fighting spirit that echoed throughout the city's defense forces.

"kill!"

The next moment, tens of thousands of warriors responded. With a low roar, the killing intent of tens of thousands of soldiers gathered into a monstrous killing aura that rushed towards the bloodthirsty aura of the demon army, neutralizing it.

Is this the war between the human and demon races?

Looking at the imposing atmosphere of the two armies facing off, Lin Feng couldn't help but sigh.

Indeed... coming to the battlefield was the right thing to do.

As the dark cloud formed by the condensed demonic energy stopped advancing, Lin Feng was able to see the full extent of the demon army.

At the very front of the demon army were three incredibly powerful demonic dragons, each over a hundred meters long, followed by a large number of flying demons.

The ground was covered by a dense army of demons, like a tidal wave.

The total number is roughly estimated to be at least 50,000!

This scale is considered medium-sized compared to previous battles.

Lin Feng hadn't expected that his first battle would be of such scale.

However, just as Lin Feng was marveling at the scale of the demon army, a familiar figure appeared in his field of vision.
