The monster "Gryphon" has the head and wings of an eagle, but has a body like a lion, and is a beast rather than a bird.
The unique body structure allows the "Gryphon" to fly like a bird and run on land like a beast, which can be said to have every advantage in battle.
The "Gryphon" that attacked Dong Jianping not only had a grade of up to the third level, but also possessed the power of two spells, wind and fire. With the help of wind and fire, its power was much stronger than a spell with a single attribute.
Even after Zhou Yang intervened, the combined strength of the two of them could only barely draw a tie with this strange beast, and there was no chance of killing it.
Fortunately, after seeing the "Gryphon", the other monsters were so impressed by its power that they did not dare to step forward to intervene. Otherwise, the two of them might have had no choice but to flee the city.
"Fellow Daoist Zhou, do you have a way to defeat the enemy? Monster beasts like the Gripen are quite intelligent. As long as we injure it and make it understand that we are not easy to mess with, it will naturally give up attacking us!"
Dong Jianping had fought fiercely with the beast before, consuming more mana than Zhou Yang. Now that he saw that even with Zhou Yang's help, he still couldn't drive away the griffon, he couldn't help but become a little anxious.
When Zhou Yang heard this, his eyes flashed. Of course he had a way to injure the griffin beast. As long as he used the "Qianyang Heavenly Sword", he would definitely be able to injure and repel the griffin beast.
However, once the "Qianyang Heavenly Sword" is used, it must take a year of rest before it can be used again. It is not worth it just to repel a griffin beast.
Therefore, he finally shook his head with a wry smile and said: "Fellow Daoist Dong thinks too highly of Zhou. The strength of this griffin beast is definitely no worse than that of a monk at the ninth level of foundation building. How can Zhou be able to do this when he is only at the fourth level of foundation building?"
Fight off such powerful monsters!"
"This...hey! It was Dong who made a mistake. I'm sorry!"
Dong Jianping let out a long sigh, but when he came back to his senses, he realized that his request was a bit too much. He couldn't help but sigh and apologize to Zhou Yang, and then continued to fight with Zhou Yang in silence.
After the two of them fought with the gryphon for half an hour, a turning point finally appeared.
This turning point came from Jia Yunzhen, a monk from the Zifu period who had never taken action.
Every time the "beast tide" attacks the city, high-level human monks and high-level monsters will form a tacit understanding, that is, if one side does not send high-level beings to participate in the battle, the other side's high-level beings will never attack easily.
Get on the field and take action.
Previously, Jia Yunzhen and other Zifu period monks just issued orders and did not take action, because they did not want to break this rule first.
Because compared with the high-level monsters in the entire "beast tide", there are definitely not as many high-level beings on the Zhenyue Immortal City side as there are on the monster side.
If humans break this rule first, they can only force those high-level monsters to appear in advance, and then force the city lord Ren Tianxing to activate the city defense formation in advance.
The city protection formation cannot be opened lightly, because in this "beast tide", as long as the city protection formation is opened, the daily consumption of spiritual stones is an astronomical number, and all the spiritual stones stored in the treasure house of Zhenyue Immortal City may not be
Enough to consume the city defense array for half a year.
Therefore, every time a "tide of beasts" attacks, the human monks do not open the city defense formation first to attract low-level monsters to attack the city wall. After most of the cannon fodder in the "tide of beasts" is destroyed, they open the defense formation.
The city formation resisted the attacks of high-level monsters.
As for the demonic beasts, because the "tide of beasts" was originally launched to attack the world of human cultivators in order to consume the excess demonic beasts in the Duanyun Mountains, even if they knew the plans of the human cultivators, they would not show up easily by pretending not to know.
Anyway, these low-level monsters were not prepared to be taken back when they were driven out. Of course, they were not willing to use their lives to clear the way for these useless cannon fodder.
But now, Jia Yunzhen takes action.
He stretched out his hand and patted his storage bag. In an instant, thirteen rays of silver light flew out of his storage bag, and fell into the air, revealing thirteen flying swords with shining silver light.
Then he made a sword move with both hands, and the thirteen silver flying swords instantly turned into thirteen silver sword rainbows and swept away towards the monsters on the top of the city.
Wherever the silver sword rainbow passed, no matter what kind of monster it was, its head was cut off on the spot, its body was pierced, and it was impossible to die.
A silver sword rainbow also flew over from Zhou Yang's side and killed the griffin beast they were facing.
However, this griffin beast is really powerful. The silver sword rainbow, which is almost fatal to other monsters, was forced out of its original form by a green and red light beam ejected from its mouth, revealing the flying sword itself.
Um?
It seemed that he didn't expect that his attack would be blocked by a third-level high-grade monster. Jia Yunzhen, who was distracted by attacking with more than a dozen flying swords, couldn't help but look at Zhou Yang and the others coldly.
Even though he just glanced at it like this, the blood evil energy and murderous intention accumulated in his body through killing monsters were still transmitted to the griffon through his eyes.
The gryphon, which was originally a little depressed because of the blue-red light beam, felt the cold murderous intention and the rich blood evil aura, and its body couldn't help but tremble, and its brown eyes instantly showed great fear.
color.
It let out a loud eagle cry from its mouth, flapped its wings, and tried to escape from the city wall and return to the mountains.
However, at this moment, Zhou Yang, who had been guarding Xuanshui Island against its attack, suddenly opened his mouth and spat out.
There was a flash of golden light, and an extremely sharp three-foot-long sword energy instantly struck the gryphon at the base of its left wing as it spread its wings to fly.
Originally, the wings of the gryphon were covered with cyan iron feathers that were hard to be damaged by flying swords. Its defensive power was extremely strong, and ordinary attacks could not damage its wings at all.
However, the connection between its wings and the lion's body is not covered by such iron feathers, and only has a thick layer of skin to defend against attacks.
This thick layer of skin is fine for defending against Zhou Yang's third-level low-grade flying sword attacks, but it is not good enough for the "Qianyang Heavenly Sword".
The golden sword energy cut through the base of the gryphon's wings, almost cutting off half of its wings.
Without half of its wings to provide strength and balance support, the gryphon's huge body suddenly fell to the ground due to excessive force. By the time it wanted to get up from the ground and run away, Jia Yunzhen's silver flying sword had already struck again.
He screamed and flew towards it.
But at this moment, an accident occurred again.
The silver flying sword was clearly about to kill the griffon, but a green feather suddenly shot out from outside the city and instantly stopped Jia Yunzhen's flying sword.
When the griffon got this opportunity, a humanized look of surprise suddenly appeared in its eyes, and when it dragged its wings, it jumped out of the top of the city and landed at the bottom of the city.
Zhou Yang witnessed all this. He did not look at the escaped griffon anymore, but looked at the direction in which the green feathers were flying with fear on his face.
In the sky thousands of meters away from the city, I saw a giant cyan eagle with a wingspan of more than ten feet, looking at the humans on the city wall with a serious look, its eyes full of eagerness to try.
There is no doubt that the giant cyan eagle that saved the griffon was a fourth-level monster, and it was a fourth-level high-grade monster with a cultivation level stronger than Jia Yunzhen's.
Obviously, the high-level monsters among the monsters have been watching the battle. As soon as Jia Yunzhen, a monk from the Purple Mansion Stage, intervened, they immediately responded and sent high-level monsters of the same level to reinforce.
Of course, the fourth-level monsters already have considerable wisdom and will not rush into the Zhenyue Immortal City with the Forbidden Sky Array like the lower-level monsters.
But as soon as they appear, humans will either send high-level monks out of the city to fight with them, or they will have no choice but to activate a city defense formation.
"I'll go meet this evil beast for a while!"
A cold light flashed in Jia Yunzhen's eyes. He raised his hand and took back the thirteen flying swords. Then with a movement of his body, he jumped out of the city and started fighting with the giant cyan eagle.
Because the thirteen silver sword rainbows used by Jia Yunzhen to clear the scene had killed almost half of the remaining monsters on the city, Zhou Yang and the others were lucky enough to watch the battle between the Zifu period monks and the fourth-level monsters on the city.
Although Jia Yun's true cultivation level was lower than that of the giant cyan eagle, after the battle, the outcome was completely reversed.
Although his thirteen silver flying swords are only fourth-level low-grade, they are a rare set of flying swords. Moreover, he seems to have practiced an extremely extraordinary set of sword techniques. Using this set of sword techniques to control the flying swords not only makes the flying swords as powerful as
The power of the flying sword is far superior to that of other monks.
As a result, not long after the two sides fought, the cyan giant eagle was completely at a disadvantage, and was forced to use its natural advantage in speed to play a hide-and-seek game with him in the air.
"Sword formation, unite!"
In the sky, Jia Yunzhen seemed to be impatient to play this kind of hide-and-seek game with the cyan giant eagle. He suddenly made a sword gesture with his hand and spoke the truth with a solemn expression.
Then, those silver flying swords that were chasing and blocking the cyan giant eagle from all directions seemed to be summoned by some kind. In an instant, they radiated silver light and merged into a silver giant sword several feet long in mid-air.
"cut!"
As soon as the silver giant sword was formed, Jia Yunzhen pointed the sword together and shook his fingers towards the giant cyan eagle, saying "cut" in his mouth.
Before the word "cut" could be heard, the silver giant sword in the sky disappeared in a blink of an eye. Then, as if traveling through space, it instantly appeared behind the cyan giant eagle and fell straight towards the cyan giant eagle.
Chirp——
The giant cyan eagle seemed to feel something, and instantly let out a loud and clear cry. Then the cyan light on its body radiated, and in an instant it turned into a cyan rainbow light and flew towards the depths of the "beast tide" at the rear.
For a moment, in the empty sky, there were only dozens of bloody feathers spinning and falling downwards.
"The tide of beasts has receded!"
I don't know who made a shout full of surprise, awakening Zhou Yang's consciousness, which was still immersed in the battle between the Zifu Stage monks and the fourth-order high-grade monsters.
He looked outside the city wall and saw that the group of monster beasts that were rushing towards the city wall like a huge wave turned around and retreated quickly, just as the voice said, like the ebbing tide.
Of course, when these monsters retreated, they did not forget to drag away the corpses of the dead monsters on the ground. There were only some monster corpses under the city wall that were too close, and no monsters dared to get close and take them away.
