Xiang Yun led his army forward for less than a few hundred kilometers. When they were close to the affected three counties, they finally discovered some cloud beasts at the southern edge of Northson Prefecture, closest to the south.

Towards these scattered Cloud Beasts who were hara.s.sing the people nearby, Xiang Yun directly commanded the army, swiftly strangled them, and then continued forward.

Fortunately, because of the beast tide outbreak, the villagers either fled to the south or fled to the surrounding cities to avoid disaster. Thus, there were not many casualties.

However, the further they went, the uglier Xiang Yun's expression became. This was because there were more and more Cloud Beasts appearing, and their levels had also gradually increased. To ordinary people, the appearance of the Cloud Beasts was no different from a nightmare.

Naturally, these Cloud Beasts were unable to stop Xiang Yun and the others as they slaughtered their way through. It was only at noon that everyone pa.s.sed by a small town. They had thought that they would see a miserable scene of blood dripping from their wounds, but to their surprise, they saw no casualties at all.

Seeing this, Qi Haowei leapt forward to Xiang Yun's side, wanting to lead his troops to kill these Cloud Beasts. However, Xiang Yun raised his hand, signalling for him to be quiet. At the same time, his ears twitched, as if he was listening to something.

At this time, the face of the Snow Wolf Cavalry's two Vice Battalion Commanders, one of whom was called Ma Hong and the other was called Zhu Kai, both of whom were Mystical Cloud Realm primary stage experts, changed and they started listening attentively.

"There's movement ahead. Let's go take a look!"

What shocked everyone was that the entire city was currently surrounded by a group of lizard-like cloud beasts. These lizards were very large, and if they looked closely, they could be seen in the tens of thousands.

"It's the Bloodthirsty Earthworm!" Qi Haowei cried out in alarm.

The Blood-Thirsty Earth Lizard was a Cloudmist Beast. Its size was about the size of a hunting dog. Its entire body was a grayish-black color with needle-like hair. It crawled on the ground on all fours at an extremely fast speed.

Their tongues were like needles that could be inserted into living organisms to suck their blood. They were good at moving in groups, so even if some cloudy beasts met a group of bloodthirsty beasts, they would take a detour.

"Not good, this group of Blood-Thirsty Earth Lizards is attacking the city. The commoners in the surrounding towns must be gathered in the city right now. Let's go and save them!" Xiang Yun immediately gave the order!

Hearing these words, all the Snow Wolf Cavalry Soldiers mounted on the backs of giant wolves, unsheathed their spears and armor, and instantly entered a state of combat readiness. As for the soldiers of the PaG.o.da Armor Cavalry, their expressions changed upon hearing these words, and immediately, discussions broke out below.

"There are so many Cloud Beasts, how can we save them!"

"That's right, this group of animals is so powerful!"

"How can it be so easily killed when there are tens of thousands of them?"

"This crown prince really doesn't know how to talk. He wouldn't want us, the Buddha Armoured Cavalry, to lead the charge and fight against these Cloud Beasts, right?"

However, in the next moment, to their astonishment, Xiang Yun, who had not made a move all this time, had now pulled out the greatsword on his back. The pitch-black tip of the sword shone with a cold light under the sunlight!

"Soldiers, follow me to kill the Cloud Beasts and rescue the people of the city!"

With the command given, Xiang Yun actually charged straight down towards the group of Earth Lizards, riding on his huge wolf. The three hundred Snow Wolf Cavalry behind him followed him in an instant, a pair of black cavalry soldiers with Xiang Yun at their center, charging forward like a lance piercing through the heavens!

"Aooo!"

Hundreds of huge wolves roared at the same time, resounding through the sky. The group of blood-thirsty Earth Lizards surrounding the city turned their heads at the same time.

Seeing a group of cavalrymen rus.h.i.+ng towards them, the group of Blood-Thirsty Earth Lizards were stunned for a moment, but soon after, on top of the city walls, a particularly tall bloodthirsty earth lizard with two fins on its cheeks suddenly puffed out its cheeks, opened its mouth, and let out a sharp screech!

"Hiss hiss!"

The tens of thousands of Blood-Thirsty Earth Lizards reacted as if they had received an order. They moved at the same time, charging toward Xiang Yun's group like a surging tide!

At this moment, the soldiers of the Floater Metal had also awoken from their shock. They had not expected that Xiang Yun would actually dare to lead the charge at such a critical juncture.

But no matter how much they complained in their hearts, at this very moment, before the battle, they showed the spirit of the Buddha Armoured Cavalry. The army instantly a.s.sembled and charged forward, charging from the Snow Wolf Cavalry's two wings!

However, the Snow Wolf Cavalry and the Snow Wolf Cavalry were both not ordinary cavalry, but rather the two ace cavalry units of the Wind Cloud Country. Even though the target of their charge was the Cloud Beasts, they still possessed a great momentum!

Seeing that the great army was about to clash with the Cloud Beast, the two vice battalion commanders of the Snow Wolf Cavalry, Ma Duan and Zhu Kai, who were originally half a horse behind Xiang Yun, looked at each other in the eyes. Immediately, they each gripped their wolf bellies and sped up their charge, intent on protecting Xiang Yun behind them!

Xiang Yun was the crown prince after all. The two of them had to ensure Xiang Yun's safety, this was their primary responsibility! The duo had originally wanted to hold Xiang Yun in the middle and block the cloud beasts in front of them, reducing the danger for Xiang Yun.

However, just as the two of them had arrived in front of Xiang Yun, Xiang Yun, who had been riding on the back of the giant wolf, had actually performed an astonis.h.i.+ng feat.

"Your Highness, be careful!"

"Your Highness, come back!"

The three of them rushed out of the crowd at the same time, all of them wanting to stop Xiang Yun. However, just as they were about to approach him, they did not have the time to do so!

"Whoos.h.!.+"

The three of them felt their vision blur as the figure in front of them turned into a mirage, instantly distancing itself. In the next moment, to their horror, everyone saw the distant Xiang Yun brandis.h.i.+ng the greatsword in his hand.

A sandstorm rose from the ground and wrapped itself around Xiang Yun, instantly piercing into the Bloodthirsty Earthworm's team. Flesh and blood flew into the air as wailing sounds could be heard incessantly from within the group!

"What a fast sword!"

"What a strong Yun Li!"

At this moment, whether it was Ma Ying, Zhu Kai, or Qi Haowei, or those who did not trust Xiang Yun, all of them were collectively dumbfounded. All of their eyes were opened like frogs, and their mouths were opened even wider.

At this moment, Xiang Yun's charge into the Bloodthirsty Earthworm was like a fierce tiger entering a flock of sheep. One man and one sword entering a deserted area, blood and corpses filling the sky wherever they pa.s.sed. Those Bloodthirsty Earthworms could not stop him at all!

"Roar!"

Under his roar, the Bloodthirsty Earthworm below him seemed to have received an order as it charged at Xiang Yun from all directions. With so many ants, it would be able to feed on elephants, not to mention that with so many Bloodthirsty Earthworms charging at him, Xiang Yun's speed instantly slowed down!

At this moment, the Snow Wolf Cavalry and the PaG.o.da Steel Cavalry had also recovered from their shock. The leaders of both sides immediately gave the order to charge forward and provide support!

Seeing that Xiang Yun was surrounded by a horde of Earth Lizards of almost three layers, and that even more of them were about to attack him, the Snow Wolf Cavalry and the PaG.o.da Armoured Cavalry sped up their pursuit!

"Your Highness, hold on! We will come and save you immediately!" Everyone shouted!

Suddenly, a majestic energy overflowed in all directions. The group of Earth Lizards that had been encircling Xiang Yun flew in all directions as their bodies exploded in midair!

Soon after, a figure flew out of the wall. He directly stepped on the body of a group of Earth Lizards and charged towards the foot of the city walls with lightning speed.

In almost an instant, the figure leaped to the foot of the city wall, stepping on the city wall as if it was flat ground and rising rapidly!

Xiang Yun's figure was like a gecko swimming through the walls as he instantly climbed up to the edge of the city wall. He abruptly stomped on the wall's arrowhead and appeared in front of the huge bloodthirsty mud lizard.

"Bam!" The body of the Earth Lizard, as small as a calf, was blasted into the air!

"Whoos.h.!.+"

A line of blood shot through the air. In the next moment, the body of the giant Blood-Thirsty Earth Lizard froze. As it fell through the air, its enormous body split into two, its organs filling the sky with its blood!

In the rain of blood, a figure descended and firmly stepped on the city wall. The surrounding profound light around him was like a large umbrella that blocked the rain of blood.
