220: The show has come to an end!

After performing this sword technique, Lu Ming's Face turned 'pale', his aura 'withered' considerably, and the hand holding his sword began to 'tremble' slightly.

Only after swallowing a few Medicinal Pills did his complexion slightly improve.

He then no longer hesitated, charging forward with a fierce assault, seemingly willing to sacrifice his Origin to slay the two demon beasts.

The two great Yao Beasts were also injured by this 'desperate' stance; the Crimson Flame Wolf gained several new sword marks and was forced to retreat repeatedly, while large sections of the Eagle's feathers were shorn off.

However, this also enraged the two demon beasts, and they pounced simultaneously, ready to tear him to shreds.

A faint glint appeared in Lu Ming's eyes as he secretly made calculations with his fingers inside his sleeve.

"It's about time!"

Fighting until now, it was almost time to end; dragging it on further would be overdoing it.

So, the moment the three demon beasts closed in, his golden book instantly opened, and he quickly selected 'Crimson Flame Wolf' and 'Eagle'.

And in that instant, the two great Yao Beasts' movements abruptly paused!

They felt their vital Qi and blood being rapidly drained, and in just a moment, their auras quickly plummeted.

But to outsiders, this simply looked like a manifestation of excessive consumption.

Lu Ming also 'seized the opportunity', 'exhausting his last bit of strength' to propel his magic sword, transforming it into a dazzling streak of light.

First, it pierced through the Crimson Flame Wolf's heart, then the sword's momentum continued, slashing open the throat of the falling Eagle.

Everything happened in a flash; the two demon beasts' bodies fell almost simultaneously, completely perishing!

Above and below the city wall, silence instantly fell.

Lu Ming propped himself with his sword, kneeling on one knee, his violently heaving chest emitting a wheezing sound like a broken bellows.

At this moment, he was covered in blood, and his spiritual light was incredibly dim; to anyone who looked, he appeared to have exhausted all his spiritual power and suffered severe injuries.

A few breaths later, deafening cheers erupted from the city wall where he stood.

Whether it was the low-level Cultivators or the Foundation Establishment Cultivators observing the battle, they all felt sincere admiration for his unyielding will to fight to the death.

Lu Ming feigned meditating for a moment, then, after refusing assistance, stood up and waved his hand to collect the three demon beast corpses into his Storage Pouch.

This massive beast tide was a gluttonous feast for him, and he naturally wouldn't let it go!

And everyone had no complaints about this; he had slain them by himself, so they rightfully belonged to him!

Several more hours passed, and outside the city wall, there was still an endless black tide.

However, most of the Tier 2 demon beasts among them retreated under the command of the Mountain-Shaking Demonic Ape, leaving only low-level demon beasts to continue acting as cannon fodder, charging forward without hesitation.

The Cloud Mist Mountain Range had no shortage of low-level demon beasts; if they died, they died. If they could consume some human resources, then their deaths would be worthwhile.

As for the Tier 2 demon beasts, letting them retreat was not out of reluctance or pity, but merely to let them rest for a while before regrouping and continuing the attack.

However, the demon beasts' retreat also gave the Cultivators in Heavenly Star Immortal City a chance to catch their breath.

And in this city defense battle, Lu Ming, despite some suppression, had performed admirably, slaying several Tier 2 demon beasts.

When he requested to rest and recuperate, the Immortal City readily agreed and even gave him many Medicinal Pills.

However, before he could return to his Immortal Cave, he was stopped by Sikong Ming, who was clad in heavy black armor.

Lu Ming raised an eyebrow, not understanding why Sikong Ming was looking for him.

At the same time, he secretly became vigilant, starting to review the day's battle for any flaws, but then he quickly relaxed.

Although his performance today was outstanding, it was limited to the Realm of Early Foundation Establishment Stage; one could only say that his combat ability was strong and he was not lacking in ruthlessness, but no one would think he had hidden his cultivation.

Indeed, Sikong Ming's first words were praise.

"Fellow Daoist Han, today you have truly opened my eyes!"

His attitude was much gentler than before, and there was more smile on his Face.

Sikong Ming knew that Han Feiyu had some capability; he could escape from a Foundation Establishment Cultivator's grasp during Qi Refining, and Sikong Ming even personally congratulated him after his Foundation Establishment Breakthrough.

But he hadn't expected the other party's combat ability to be so impressive.

Sikong Ming even imagined that if the two of them were placed in the same Realm for a life-and-death struggle, the outcome would truly be unknown!

Precisely because of this, he no longer regarded Lu Ming as a junior, but addressed him directly as Fellow Daoist.

"Just luck!" Lu Ming was very humble, not getting carried away by a mere title, but instead asked in confusion, "May I ask Commander Sikong, what is your instruction for me?"

"It's not an instruction, but I have an impertinent request. If Fellow Daoist refuses, it's fine!"

"Commander, please speak! Within my capabilities, I, Han, will certainly not decline." Although he was puzzled, Lu Ming still exchanged a few polite words, but did not commit completely.

"It's like this: I'd like to ask Fellow Daoist to transfer to the North City Gate. That area is overseen by Li Guanqi, but his strength is too weak, and I'm worried he won't be able to hold it. So I'd like to ask Fellow Daoist to go and guard it, and incidentally keep an eye on him."

Sikong Ming didn't stand on ceremony; his personality was always straightforward.

He had no reservations or good impressions of Li Guanqi, but Sikong Ming had to consider the Immortal Master's wishes.

Therefore, he sought out this Fellow Daoist Han, who had recently risen to prominence.

"Li Guanqi!" A faint light flashed in Lu Ming's eyes.

This name was too familiar to him: True Person Tianxing's youngest Disciple.

A few years ago, in order to track him, a demonic Cultivator, he ended up finding the wrong person, causing himself to suffer Origin loss and his Dao path to be severed.

And the Demonic Soul Entangling Blood Silk Curse he used in his early stages was also thanks to him.

Later, he came to the Foundation Establishment Banquet with Sikong Ming, acting all arrogant.

At that time, he had thought that one day, when he became a Golden Core, he would properly teach this junior a lesson.

As a result, his wish had not yet come true when Sikong Ming came knocking.

"Should I go or not?" Lu Ming pondered.

It seemed he didn't have a very good reason to refuse.

Anyway, it was all the same wherever he was; not only could he gain benefits, but he could also save Sikong Ming some Face.

"No problem, I agree."

Having understood these points, Lu Ming nodded and agreed.

Sikong Ming had initially expected to be refused, as in the midst of a beast tide, one could barely protect oneself, so who would have the mind to look after others.

But he hadn't expected Lu Ming to agree so quickly, which made him feel a little more grateful towards Lu Ming.

He then took out a bottle of Medicinal Pills and handed it to Lu Ming, saying, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist. This bottle of Golden Jade Profound Spirit Pills is for you for now! After the beast tide, I will have another token of appreciation!"

Lu Ming did not refuse, but looking at the jade bottle in his hand, he felt helpless.

The Golden Jade Profound Spirit Pills were only greatly beneficial for overcoming the Early Foundation Establishment Stage Bottleneck; for him, they were completely useless!

However, he didn't say much, thinking it was a good opportunity to further improve his strength, and he could also be a bit more unrestrained in his actions.

Afterward, the two chatted for a few more sentences, and Sikong Ming gave a few words of caution before leaving in a hurry.

If it weren't for Li Guanqi, he wouldn't have left the front line at all.
