The sudden cry for battle stunned all the civilians and soldiers of Northson Prefecture who were already in despair. Bi Hongzhang quickly turned his head over and saw a group of men charging towards them from the east of the city.

Because of the cloud beasts blocking the way, he could not tell which army it was, but when he saw the pikes in their hands and heard the battle horses' hissing sounds, he immediately knew that it was a human cavalry unit!

In this endless tide of cloud beasts, suddenly seeing the human army was no different from seeing the hope of life for the civilians and soldiers of Beishan County who were at the end of their road!

"Look, it's reinforcements!" The reinforcements have come to reinforce us! "

Even Bi Hongzhang was trembling with excitement. He wanted to raise his arms and shout out, but in the next moment, his expression suddenly changed and turned extremely ugly. He blankly stared at the incoming army as he mumbled.

Bi Hongzhang suddenly realized that the army in the distance was not as powerful as he had imagined. He could tell in an instant that it was not just an army, but an army of a million people.

It was not only Bi Hongzhang, but the others had also discovered this after a short period of excitement. They thought that the reinforcements from the imperial government would arrive, but it was only a small force of a few thousand people.

Under the siege of these hundreds of thousands of Cloud Beasts, even though nearly two hundred thousand people of the Northern Good County had gathered in a dozen cities and used the County City's grand formation to defend themselves, they were still attacked by these Cloud Beasts and left with less than two thousand civilians in the city.

"Sigh …"

He was vexed over why he had to defend the Northern Sage County to the death. It would be better to bring everyone to flee south together.

"Fine, fine, fine. At worst, I can just kill some more beasts with my stinky skin!"

As he spoke to here, Bi Hongzhang revolved the last bit of cloud energy left in his dantian, expanding it and causing his breath to become violent. An explosive wave of energy quickly acc.u.mulated in his dantian!

The surrounding soldiers all stared at Bi Hongzhang with reddened eyes as they felt the sudden surge of energy. They all knew that the old matriarch's actions were likely going to explode her own dantian!

"Brothers, this old man will go first. I'll help you kill some more Cloud Beasts!"

With that, Bi Hongzhang's dantian swelled up and his dispirited body seemed to have recovered its peak strength. He stomped his foot on the ground, and with a sudden leap, he leapt high into the air towards the horde of Cloud Beasts outside the encirclement!

"You b.a.s.t.a.r.ds, you shall be buried with me and the Beishan County!"

"Lord Protector!"

When all the civilians and soldiers saw this, they cried out in alarm and their eyes were about to crack. They never thought that even after fighting to this extent, this Lord Protector was still unwilling to abandon everyone to escape by himself. Instead, he was sacrificing his life for the city!

Even though they couldn't bear it, Bi Hongzhang was already in the air above the cloud beast horde. The hundreds of cloud beasts below were already baring their teeth, waiting for the human figures to charge in.

And among the horde of cloud beasts, three of them had hidden themselves within the horde. When they saw this scene, they couldn't wait to leap up and pounce at Bi Hongzhang, ready to eat a hearty meal!

However, in this moment of life and death, there was a sound of something tearing through the air behind them. Everyone saw a black shadow fly over their heads at an unbelievable speed, and the moment it pa.s.sed through the defensive circle, its feet suddenly stepped on the steel-hard back of an Ironback Bull!

"Bam!"

That person used the recoil to shoot into the void again. Just before Bi Hongzhang and the three soldier level cloud beasts made contact, that person suddenly blocked their path!

In the middle of the air, that person stretched out a hand and grabbed Bi Hongzhang's shoulder, instantly removing the impact of the latter's body.

"Be careful!"

Bi Hongzhang suddenly shouted a warning because the three soldier level cloud beasts had already pounced on them.

The auras of the three Cloud Beasts were all at the soldier level. One of them was a scarlet red Volcano Poison Wolf, whose mouth was roaring with raging flames; one was a Wind Blade Leopard with gray fur, which was surrounded by a strong wind; and the other one had two s.h.i.+ny, pitch-black eyes, a single horn on its head!

In the face of the sudden appearance of this black figure, how could the three Cloud Beasts with extraordinary cultivations possibly put them in their eyes? Still, they pounced forward, wanting to swallow the two of them at the same time!

The three cloud beasts attacked from behind, and the person in the void blocked right in front of Bi Hongzhang. His figure suddenly flipped, and as the strength from the attack dissipated and he fell, he faced the three ferocious cloud beasts and pressed down with his palm!

"The first style of the Great Solar Palm - Phoenix Breaking Dawn!"

"Boom!"

A fire phoenix bathed in scarlet flames emitted a resounding cry, its brilliance dazzling. It suddenly opened its wings like a meteorite and crashed into the bodies of the three Cloud Beasts!

s.h.i.+ Potian let out a sky-shattering sound. The three Cloud Beasts felt as if they had been struck by lightning. Their bodies smashed into the ground, turning the dozens of ordinary Cloud Beasts into minced meat.

The power of one palm was so tyrannical! Everyone present was dumbstruck. Even Bi Hongzhang, who was at the early stage of the Mystic Cloud Realm, could not help but be shocked in his heart!

Borrowing the rebound force of the palm strike, the person who struck turned around and grabbed Bi Hongzhang's shoulder, and brought him back into the encirclement!

Just a moment ago, he was already prepared to die. He was prepared to detonate his dantian and die with these Cloud Beasts. However, in the next moment, he was saved by this young man. It could be said that he walked through h.e.l.l.

"Beitang Tai Shou, quick, order your soldiers to retreat. Restrain the defensive perimeter to block these Cloud Beasts. My army is about to attack!"

Xiang Yun looked at the stupefied Bi Tai, not having any time to say anything as he immediately gave the order. This was because at this moment, there were already many loopholes within the defensive perimeter. Cloud Beasts were swarming in!

Bi Tai Shou also knew that the situation was critical. He immediately ordered the troops to retreat in accordance with Xiang Yun's orders. The defensive perimeter instantly doubled in size as he slaughtered several Cloud Beasts that charged into the camp.

Even so, Bi Hongzhang did not relax in the slightest. Instead, he spoke to Xiang Yun with a pained expression.

"Little brother, thank you for saving our lives just now, but these Cloud Beasts are too much. I'm afraid we can't stop them. Moreover, your army only has a few thousand people. How can we kill them?"

"They're here!"

Xiang Yun did not even turn his head as he slapped out his palm, smas.h.i.+ng apart a few Mountain Piercing Mastiffs that had leaped high into the air in an attempt to break into the defensive circle. He immediately flew out, continuing to help the surrounding defenders kill the Cloud Beasts!

"Huh?"

On the east side of the city, the cavalry that was originally several hundred feet away from the group and seemingly submerged in the beast tide had actually already appeared over a hundred feet away from them!

The army of thousands was actually speeding up its charge amidst the beast tide. It swept through everything in its path, leaving no obstacles in its way!

Bi Hongzhang was shocked speechless. Was this really a group of ferocious and bloodthirsty cloud beasts? How could they turn into lambs without any power to resist in front of this army!

Was it because these Cloud Beasts were too weak? Obviously, this was impossible. Otherwise, how could the two hundred thousand men army of the Beishan County be reduced to less than a thousand men in three short days? Then, what could explain everything that happened in front of them, was naturally the extraordinary strength of this army!

In the next moment, the army had already charged past the defenses of the soldiers of the Northern Good County. At this moment, Xiang Yun, who was crazily slaughtering the Cloud Beast, gave the order!

"Ma Domain, Zhu Kai, the two of you lead the Snow Wolf Cavalry to surround and defend the perimeter of the defensive circle." Ma Domain, Zhu Kai, the two of you lead the Snow Wolf Cavalry soldiers to circle and attack the perimeter of the defensive circle to kill the Cloud Beasts.

"Yes sir!"

Along the way, the two armies had cooperated with each other, and the generals of the armies had no objections to Xiang Yun's orders. They immediately began to move!

The Snow Wolf rode a few meters away from the defensive circle, suddenly changing its direction and circling the defensive circle, like a fan leaf sweeping the outer circle of the Cloud Beast. The Snow Wolf rode only three hundred people, but they were all powerful masters.

The unstoppable force of the charge was like a knife cutting wheat gra.s.s, instantly catching the surrounding cloud beasts by surprise, causing them to collapse into piles of corpses!

Although the PaG.o.da Armoured Cavalry was weaker than the Snow Wolf Cavalry, within the borders of the Wind Cloud Country, they were worthy of being called the elite troops. Once the garrison troops were replaced by them, the situation immediately changed.

The long gunner immediately used his spear to pierce through the gap between his s.h.i.+elds and attacked from the side. The crossbowmen coordinated with each other to deal with the cloud beasts that suddenly leaped into the air, but those who crossed over would immediately be shot like hedgehogs!

The three of them had a tacit understanding with each other, and they were all Yun pract.i.tioners with extraordinary skills. Their efficiency in killing Cloud Beasts was several times that of the soldiers of the Northern Sage County.

In addition to the Snow Wolf riding on the outer ring of the defense circle, not a single cloud beast could break through the defense circle in an instant!

All of a sudden, all the civilians and soldiers of the Beishan County were standing on the spot in a daze. They felt as if they were in a dream.
