Chapter 549: The Beast Tide Attacks (Subscribe Please, Third Release)_1
Hearing what Xuan Ziwen had to say, Yan Shaozhe realized he had been thinking too simplistically and hesitated, "Elder Xuan, then this place..."
But before Yan Shaozhe could finish speaking, Xuan Ziwen understood what he meant and said calmly, "Leave this place to me. You hurry to the South City Wall, that's where it's most crucial!"
Yan Shaozhe nodded, "I'll leave this in your hands, then!"
Immediately after, he exploded with terrifying Soul Power and dashed toward the direction of the South City Wall…
Meanwhile, the Elders of the Sea God Pavilion at the East and West City Walls belatedly realized this as well!
Zhang Lexuan and Cai Mei'er were left to defend the East City Wall, while Fan Yu stayed at the West City Wall…
As for other Elders like Elder Zhuang, Elder Song, Xian Lin'er, and the rest of the Sea God Pavilion, they all rushed towards the South City Wall with the greatest speed…
…
The South City Wall!
Shi Xing's eyes observed the increasingly threatening soul beasts below and he spoke in a deep voice, "Indeed, this second round of the assault is led by thousand-year soul beasts, mingled with a few ten-thousand-year soul beasts."
It wasn't difficult to kill them using Level 6 and 7 Soul Guidance Devices, but one crucial factor needed to be considered!
Soul Power consumption!! Once the Shrek City Defense Army and these Shrek students have their Soul Power exhausted,
He had just thought of this when a small group of Shrek City Defense Army personnel began to sit on the ground, gasping for breath...
One of them, with a face full of apology, turned to the others, "I… my Soul Power seems to be drained; I'll leave it to you guys. I need to recover for a bit!"
"I... I'm out of Soul Power too, I used soul tools too frequently…"
"Me as well, I should have conserved my Soul Power earlier!"
"Please take over, I need to recover my Soul Power, I'll be okay in a while..."
Watching this unfold, Qian Yu's eyes did not show the slightest hint of surprise...
Although the Shrek City Defense Army had more than ten thousand members, their Soul Power ranks were uneven, ranging from Soul Elder to Soul Emperor...
It was understandable that their Soul Power would be prematurely depleted when using Soul Tools which heavily consumed Soul Power!
Xu Sanshi looked sideways at the Shrek City Defense Army members sitting on the ground to recover their Soul Power, his face grim, "Can't be, there are already so many people out of Soul Power? The second wave has barely started!"
Bei Bei said solemnly, "Not everyone's Soul Power rank reaches Soul Emperor and above, the consumption from soul tools is huge for them, it's already quite good that they've held out till now."
Jiang Nannan expressed her concerns, "But what do we do next? The cultivation levels of the charging soul beasts will only get higher. Relying on just us and the inner court students is far from enough to withstand them!"
Huo Yuhao's light blue eyes turned to Shi Xing next to him, "Now it all depends on how the captain of the Shrek City Defense Army decides!"
Ma Xiaotao frowned, "Under such an intense soul beast charge, it's not good to use soul skills for attacking either..."
If this continues, not to mention the charge of the ten-thousand-year soul beasts later, even this second round of thousand-year soul beasts could shatter the defense of the South City Wall!
Shi Xing clenched his teeth and shouted loudly, "Everyone whose Soul Power is exhausted, sit down and recover your Soul Power now!"
They didn't have a support-class Soul Master here to help recover Soul Power, and even if they did, it would only be limited to single individuals and wouldn't be of any use!
The only method he could think of in his mind was to delay the soul beasts' advance as much as possible, allowing the Shrek City Defense Army to recover their Soul Power!
Thinking this, he quickly released his Martial Soul and a circular pointer floated slowly behind him, signifying that his Martial Soul was Time!
Nine soul rings gradually rose from his feet...
Two yellow, two purple, five black!
Of course, although his Martial Soul was Time, it wasn't the same concept of time, and he couldn't achieve those bizarre abilities!
The next second, the black soul ring under Shi Xing's feet lit up...
He coldly shouted in midair, "Eighth soul skill, Time Flow Sculpture!"
This was his only large-scale restrictive soul skill, capable of reducing the movement speed of any creature covered by the soul skill by sixty percent!
In front of these densely-packed soul beasts, a ripple-emitting screen of light began to materialize out of thin air, stretching for several hundred meters!
The soul beasts, which were charging rapidly, touched the screen and their overall speed instantly dropped by sixty percent!
Put simply, if the soul beasts had been running fast before, now they were crawling!
And the inner court students around him exclaimed in shock, "How... how powerful! To be able to maintain such a huge slowing screen!"
"Moreover, it's an overall slowdown, impressive! Truly worthy of a powerhouse who can reach Titled Douluo status!"
"With this rate of movement, it should allow the city defense soul masters to recover some soul power!"
Xu Sanshi said with a shocked face, "Who would have thought he was hiding such strength, those who can reach Titled Douluo are no simple individuals!"
Bei Bei said expressionlessly, "But look at his face; maintaining that screen must be extremely difficult!"
At this moment, Shi Xing dared not move at all, his gaze intensely focused on what lay before him, fearing that a single careless move might disrupt the hard-to-maintain vast screen...
As time passed, beads of cold sweat on his forehead began to fall, drop by drop...
But after just a few minutes, he had already used up about seventy percent of his soul power!
However, in order to delay the soul beasts' onslaught as much as possible, he was still clenching his teeth and enduring...
It was these few short minutes that allowed the city defense army sitting cross-legged to recover some soul power...
The Shrek City Defense Army members then stood up and quickly took up their soul tools...
"Finally, we've recovered some soul power! Thanks are all due to the captain!"
"To single-handedly slow down the charge of tens of thousands of soul beasts, the captain's contribution is undeniable!"
Hearing the praise from others, Shi Xing showed no joy, his face gradually contorting as he cursed, "Damn it! I can't hold on much longer!"
Suddenly, a hand was placed on his shoulder, "Shi Xing, you've done well enough, leave the rest to me."
Shi Xing struggled to turn his head, only to find that it was Qian Yu tapping his shoulder!
The latter's convincing presence caused Shi Xing's pupils to shrink, followed by a flash of relief...
Weakly he said, "Then... I'll leave it to you!"
With those words, he could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground, carried away by two of the city defense soul masters...
As he passed out, the slowing screen also faded away, and the movements of the restricted soul beasts quickly returned to normal.
Qian Yu said coldly to all the inner court students and Shrek City Defense Army, "Everyone, stop attacking and let these soul beasts through!"
Upon hearing these words, the faces of inner court disciples and city defense soul masters were filled with confusion, but out of trust for Qian Yu, they chose to cease their attacks...
At that moment, Qian Yu's calm gaze swept over the soul beasts below and decisively took out a level 9 soul tool that occupied an area of several tens of meters from his storage soul tool...
Standing beside him, Tang Wutong's beautiful eyes sparkled with understanding, instantly grasping the significance behind Qian Yu's order to stop attacking.
Clearly, he wanted to let the soul beasts gather in greater numbers before annihilating them all at once!
