C129

Eight Desolate City was located at the border, with a circumference of only two hundred kilometers. Usually, there was not a trace of human life, but today, the loneliness of the past was completely overturned.

Tens of thousands of soldiers stood on top of the city walls, facing the demonic beasts that were like tidewaters below. They desperately pulled their longbows, and their arrows rained down like rain as they flew towards the group of beasts.

On top of the city, a tired Ye Lingtian said to a white robed man: "Brother Bai, it has already been 15 days. If the reinforcements are not here, I'm afraid our supplies are insufficient."

At the side, the head of the Gu family, Gu Qinghai, had an angry look on his face as he said, "That bastard Zhao Yongsheng escaped quickly enough, he directly went to Nan Licheng's aid!"

"But brother Ye, don't think too much into it. How can we, who cultivates the martial arts, not die? Killing people to our hearts' content, even if we die, it's worth it!" Although Gu Qinghai was already over fifty, his heroic spirit still did not diminish.

"You two are too pessimistic. Looking at the time, Trembling Feather Secret Realm has already closed, so Ye Yang and the others will definitely rush over as soon as they get the news," Bai Ze laughed.

Ye Lingtian sighed: "I really hope that they won't come back, it's only been half a month and a Class 4 Magical Beast appeared yesterday. I wonder what kind of strong existence will appear from now on, if we can't deal with them, they will only cause more trouble."

"Hahaha, Clan Master Ye, you are underestimating Ye Yang. The current Ye Yang, even I do not dare to say that I can beat him," Bai Ze said as he shook his head.

"How is this possible?" Whether it was Ye Lingtian or Gu Qinghai, although they were both considered experts, they were still shocked when they saw Bai Ze killing a Rank 4 Beast with just a few moves.

But now, he actually said that even he wasn't confident that he could defeat Ye Yang. This was simply frightening. Ye Yang had only been in the academy for half a year, and he was only a martial artist when he first entered.

Seeing that they did not believe him, Bai Ze did not explain. Suddenly, he saw three tall demonic beasts charging towards the city gate.

Bai Ze's face immediately became serious, "Everyone, now that there are three Level 4 Magical Beasts, I'm afraid we have to go all out."

Everyone looked over at the three magical beasts and saw a cow shaped magical beast and two wolf shaped magical beasts dragging their over a hundred feet forward. All of the unhurried magical beasts that were running along the way were stomped into meat paste.

Ye Lingtian sized up the three beasts. They were Red-eyed Mad Wolf s and Silver Horn Yaks. The two Red-eyed Mad Wolf s were at the early Fourth Order, and the Silver Horn Yak had already reached the mid Fourth Order.

Everyone couldn't help but feel their hearts sink. The pressure these three magical beasts gave them was simply too great. Maybe the defensive line of the Eight Desolate City would be broken today.

If the defense of the city failed, then the commoners in the city would be torn to pieces by the angry demon beasts.

Bai Ze looked at the nearby beasts and said softly, "I will deal with the Silver Horn Yak, leave the other two Red-eyed Mad Wolf s to you."

With that, he jumped down the city wall, the long sword in his hand dancing up and down. All the magical beasts blocking in front of him were cut into pieces.

He slaughtered all the way to the front of the Silver-horned Yak and chopped down at its head.

"Ding!"

When the sword touched the bull's horn, sparks flew everywhere, and unexpectedly made a sound as metal hit metal, Bai Ze himself was pushed back even more.

Compared to the Silver Horn Yak, Bai Ze clearly did not have any advantage in terms of strength.

However, he had successfully angered the Silver-horned Yak. With a "Moo" sound, he rushed towards Bai Ze, as this was what Bai Ze wanted.

Seeing that Bai Ze had already made his move, three deacons who were only Martial Masters immediately took action, stopping one of the Red-eyed Mad Wolf from fighting against him.

Ye Lingtian and Gu Qinghai looked at each other, a ruthless look flashed past their eyes at the same time, they raised their weapons and rushed towards the other Red-eyed Mad Wolf.

The axe in Gu Qinghai's hand chopped down at the Red-eyed Mad Wolf's head.

Bang.

It hit right on the head of the Red-eyed Mad Wolf, but the Red-eyed Mad Wolf only paused for a moment, not a single trace of blood could be seen.

Gu Qinghai's powerful attack actually did not even manage to break its defense.

Not only did it not do any damage to the Red-eyed Mad Wolf, but because of the strong rebound force, her arm became numb and she almost lost her weapon.

"Careful!" The blade in his hand hacked down rapidly, with a whistling sound, it chopped towards one of the Red-eyed Mad Wolf's claws.

Although the Red-eyed Mad Wolf was not injured by Gu Qinghai, it was still struck until its head became muddled and it immediately grabbed towards Gu Qinghai.

Gu Qinghai was only an early stage Martial Master, he was far from being a match for a Rank 4 Magical Beast.

Fortunately, Ye Lingtian was there, seeing that he was in danger, his blade directly slashed at his wolf claws.

"Pu!" Blood splashed out.

A treasure was a treasure, and its sharpness was several times that of Gu Qinghai's axe. It broke through the Red-eyed Mad Wolf's defense and made a scratch on its claw.

The Red-eyed Mad Wolf suddenly opened its huge mouth, and bit down at Ye Lingtian. Ye Lingtian quickly retreated, although he retreated, the long blade in his hand was firmly bitten by the wolf.

Ye Lingtian was shocked, one had to know that he could break through the Red-eyed Mad Wolf's defense, but it was all thanks to the treasured blade, so the moment he lost it, he would no longer be able to cause any harm.

He hurriedly tried to take it back, but the blade was bitten and did not move at all.

"Phew." The moment the Red-eyed Mad Wolf struck out, Ye Lingtian was immediately sent flying several tens of meters away. The long blade still had not been retracted.

"Brother Gu, be careful!" Ye Lingtian cried out in alarm. He realized that the Red-eyed Mad Wolf had actually abandoned him and pounced towards Gu Qinghai.

Gu Qinghai knew that he would be out of luck today and with a loud shout, he prepared to put his life on the line.

The Red-eyed Mad Wolf rushed forward a few steps, but suddenly fell head first onto the ground, motionless.

The two of them were confused by the sudden turn of events. They looked at each other, not knowing what to say.

Suddenly, tens of thousands of soldiers shouted "We greet the Marquis Tianwu!" Their shouts were so loud that even the roars of the demonic beasts were drowned out.

Ye Lingtian and Gu Qinghai turned around to look. In front of the city gate, Ye Yang, who was wearing black robes and was standing atop a Rainbow Phoenix Sparrow that was over thirty meters long, was currently standing on top of the proud head of the Rainbow Phoenix.

When the originally exhausted soldiers saw Ye Yang appear, their blood began to boil and they began to fire even harder.

Two months ago, Emperor Tianwu gave the order to make Ye Yang the Marquis Tianwu and made it known to the world. This made Ye Yang almost a household name in the Tianwu Empire.

At the age of sixteen, he became the youngest duke in the history of the Tianwu Empire.

Furthermore, it was the first time ever that a marquis had been named after a country, and it had never appeared in any other country.

After knowing that Ye Yang had been bestowed the title of Marquis Tianwu, Li Chengfeng had once ordered the Eight Desolate City to celebrate for him for three days and three nights.

At the same time, it also told everyone in the Eight Desolate City that Ye Yang was his nephew. Ye Yang had become the role model for all the youths in the Eight Desolate City.

The Eight Desolate City had always been looked down upon by the other cities, often being mocked by them and never being able to raise his head up.

After Li Chengfeng returned from the Tianwu Academy, he purposely spoke about how Ye Yang suppressed Nan Licheng, and fiercely breathed out for the Eight Desolate City.

Today, this legendary youth had appeared right in front of them. Even a Class 4 Magical Beast could only submit to him. How could they not be excited?

He never imagined that he would become a celebrity after Ye Yang left for just half a year. He couldn't help but awkwardly clasp his hands at the soldiers and generals on the city walls as he received such attention.

Ye Yang's actions immediately caused everyone to cheer.

Meng Fei and Zhao Xuefeng stood on the back of the Rainbow Phoenix Sparrow. Seeing Ye Yang standing there looking heroic and powerful, their eyes filled with stars,

Feng Qinger and Ye Qingxuan looked at Ye Yang with blissful expressions, while Ye Yuhan was still meditating with his eyes closed, not the slightest bit affected by the outside world.

Ye Yang jumped down and walked in front of the incredulous Ye Lingtian, smiling as he said, "How is it, your son didn't lose face for you, right?"

Ye Lingtian looked at his son carefully. He had grown taller, and the immaturity on his face had faded, replaced with resolution.

"Child, you're suffering," Ye Lingtian patted Ye Yang's shoulder and sighed.

Ye Yang's nose was a little sore. His father did not ask about his cultivation, did not praise his growth, and instead just said "you've suffered" in an ordinary manner, but it made Ye Yang feel even warmer.

No matter how strong he was or how powerful his cultivation was, he would always be that child he had to worry about in front of his father.

Ye Yang resisted the urge to cry and smiled, "Actually it's alright. I made a lot of friends at the academy, and I can bully people if I have nothing better to do. I live a carefree life."

Ye Lingtian laughed and said, "How can it be so smooth when you're outside? You are just like the other children, only reporting your good news and not reporting your worries."

"However, unless you experience something, you will never grow up. You can now be considered as a real man," Ye Lingtian said with gratitude.

"Hehe, Father is right. "Now is not the time to reminisce about the past. Let's first settle the problem first." Ye Yang looked at the battlefield and smiled.

He looked at Feng Qinger who was on the back of the Rainbow Phoenix Sparrow, and the latter immediately understood what she meant.

Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people, the an arrow slowly pulled its longbow open and shot out like lightning.
