"What a powerful aura!"
Witnessing the scene before them, everyone exclaimed in awe, never having imagined that Bai Di's strength was so formidable, which only further stirred their excitement.
"Truly worthy of a Heavenly Lord of the Fifth Realm!"
Zhao Xiaotian was inwardly shaken, gazing at Bai Di's figure with a sense of admiration.
"Indeed very strong!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, his expression growing solemn. The methods Bai Di displayed were undoubtedly terrifying, but it was unlikely he could defeat the five monsters with a single blow.
Rumble...
At that very moment, Bai Di collided with one of the monsters, unleashing a deafening roar!
The green-faced, fanged monster was violently sent flying, its expression shifting drastically as it let out a cry of terror, as if Bai Di posed an existential threat to it.
The other monsters, seeing this, also surged towards Bai Di, their auras appearing to shake the heavens.
"Not good, Bai Di is in danger!"
Lu Fan's brows furrowed as he witnessed the scene. He could clearly perceive the intentions of the five monsters; if they succeeded, Bai Di would surely meet his demise.
The experts of Bai Di City had their expressions change, wanting to intervene forcefully, but they were trapped by the beast tide and unable to move, their faces showing distress.
If Bai Di were to perish, it would undoubtedly be a massive blow to them.
After all, among the many experts, Bai Di possessed the greatest strength. If he died, how would they be able to cope with the multitude of monsters?
For a time, Bai Di engaged in battle with the five monsters, his expression gradually becoming more serious. Even as a Heavenly Lord of the Fifth Realm, he found himself struggling against these creatures.
After a fierce exchange, Bai Di was clearly at a disadvantage, bloodstains appearing on his arm, his face growing grim.
"Kid, I'll clear a path for you. With the aid of your divine fire, perhaps it can help Bai Di!"
The voice of Patriarch Tian Huo echoed, a terrifying aura surging forth. In an instant, the exotic beasts within the flames met their demise, utterly unable to resist Patriarch Tian Huo's innate flame.
Seizing this opportunity, Lu Fan did not hesitate. He surged forward, carrying a powerful aura towards Bai Di's location, enveloped by the power of flames.
"What a terrifying aura!"
Many onlookers were deeply moved, never expecting Lu Fan's divine fire to suppress even them.
"With my divine fire's augmentation, I might be able to lend you a hand!"
Lu Fan spoke, "When Bai Di unleashes his supreme secret technique, he will surely be able to inflict heavy damage on them!"
"You truly haven't disappointed me, kid, possessing divine fire!"
Bai Di was overjoyed. These monsters were quite wary of the divine fire in Lu Fan's possession. With Lu Fan's strength added, he wouldn't have to worry as much.
Lu Fan smiled at these words, but his expression remained solemn. He was well aware that these five monsters were not simple, and relying solely on divine fire might not be enough to achieve the desired effect.
"You use your divine fire to restrain them. Just for a moment, and I'll have an opportunity!"
Bai Di declared, his expression cold and his eyes sharp.
Lu Fan dared not delay, quickly activating his divine fire and temporarily restraining the five monsters. However, it was only for a brief moment before the monsters dispelled the divine fire, their rage surging. It seemed Lu Fan's actions had thoroughly incensed them.
"I possess a sword that can destroy all things!"
Bai Di shouted loudly, drawing his long sword with an overwhelming momentum, charging towards the five monsters. His aura as a Heavenly Lord of the Fifth Realm was unleashed, utterly dominant.
Sensing this aura, everyone was startled, their expressions fluctuating. Although they knew Bai Di was powerful, they hadn't realized he was this strong, leaving them in awe.
"Is this the power of a Heavenly Lord of the Fifth Realm?"
Many observed, their expressions filled with emotion. Such a terrifying presence made them hesitant to approach.
In the blink of an eye, the five monsters were sent flying, utterly defenseless. Coupled with Lu Fan's control over the divine fire, the monsters' situation worsened.
Boom...
With a deafening roar, the five monsters perished instantly, their demise appearing quite tragic. The surrounding exotic beasts, seeing their leaders annihilated, ceased their attacks, their gazes fixed on Bai Di with apprehension.
They could clearly feel Bai Di's terrifying aura. If they didn't retreat, Bai Di would likely tear them to shreds.
"Your leaders are dead, do you still wish to make a futile sacrifice?"
Lu Fan looked at the surrounding exotic beasts, a cold glint in his eyes and a slight smile on his lips.
The exotic beasts dared not linger, quickly scattering in all directions. They had no desire to meet a meaningless death. At least, in their view, it was not worth it.
They had been controlled by the monsters before, which was why they had charged forward relentlessly. Now that the monsters were dead, they naturally would no longer obey.
Seeing the exotic beasts retreat, Bai Di finally relaxed, his expression remaining serious as he looked towards the direction of Wushuang City.
If not for Lu Fan's divine fire earlier, he might not have been able to defeat the five monsters. And Wushuang City, he feared, might not have been so fortunate.
"We must proceed to Wushuang City with all haste!"
Bai Di commanded, and the many experts followed suit, Lu Fan among them. However, he had a question that he couldn't resolve.
Where did these monsters come from, and why were they so terrifying, capable of controlling the minds of so many exotic beasts?
Or, was someone manipulating everything from behind the scenes? If so, the implications were chilling.
Within Wushuang City, the City Lord of Wushuang City frowned. The formation of Wushuang City had been completely depleted. If external aid did not arrive soon, they too would perish, swallowed by the beast tide.
"I told you they were unreliable, but you wouldn't listen. With no reinforcements arriving for so long, it seems we are truly going to die here!" Patriarch Blood Demon stated.
"Indeed. We should never have helped them escape. I never expected them to be such people!" Ancient Sword Cultivator said coldly, expressing great dissatisfaction.
He never engaged in unprofitable ventures. Now, he felt as though he had done all the work for others, and his heart was filled with regret.
"When I asked you to go back then, you were all cowards. To say such things now, isn't that shameful!" the Wushuang City Lord retorted coldly.
"Wushuang City Lord, your words are rather inappropriate!"
With a cold gaze, Ancient Sword Cultivator directly stated, "Although this is Wushuang City, the entire city cannot protect our lives. We are all equals. What right do you have to speak like that?"
