”Boom—”

Over a hundred attacks emitting blue light, like a torrential torrent smashing down from the sky, struck the formation.

Li Zhirui didnʼt just stand by any longer; his hands fluttered as he cast spells, and a thick wall of water rose to block the attacks of the water devils alongside dozens of other clansmen.

Li Zhirui looked solemnly at the overwhelming tide of beasts before him, having not expected such a drastic turn of events.

The number of water devils, which had not been large, had exploded tenfold in just a few days!

Had it not been for the narrow rivers of Da Rong Island, the number of water devils in front of them would probably be more than just this couple of hundred.

And this was just the checkpoint Li Zhirui was defending; there were two more spots to the north, one of which was manned by Li Shilian, so there wasnʼt too much to worry about there.

But at the other place, even though the river was narrower, it was only protected by some Qi Cultivation Stage clansmen. If they were facing the same situation, it might not be good.

However, Li Zhirui was now too preoccupied to care about others. The formation at the checkpoint he guarded was already wobbling under the assault of several hundred water devils. Without the protection of the formation, their battle would undoubtedly become much tougher.

”Release the spirit beasts!” Li Zhirui shouted at the top of his lungs. At this point, they could only rely on the power of the spirit beasts.

The sudden surge in the number of devil beasts made Li Zhirui highly suspect the three clans to the east.

Because at first, the water devils coming from the east werenʼt numerous. Even if their number increased with the outbreak of the beast tide, it still shouldnʼt have multiplied so drastically in just a few days.

Unfortunately, Li Zhirui had no way to verify this.

”Kill!” With a roar from Li Zhirui, his Corrosive Water Gourd flew out, unleashing a torrent that turned into sharp arrows shooting towards the water devils.

This gourd of Corrosive Water was concocted by Li Zhirui using the most deadly Spirit Pill he had. Let alone water devils, even Foundation Establishment Cultivators would be hard-pressed to fend it off!

Da Qing kept emitting chill air, trying to freeze the river to restrict the water devilsʼ movements.

The nearby clansmen each launched their most powerful spells, and the various spirit beasts were not left out either.

Countless beams of Spirit Light mixed together, forming a gorgeous yet deadly rainbow that plunged into the midst of the water devils, instantly reaping a great number of their lives.

The once-clear river turned into a ghastly blood river strewn with various remains in an instant, and a thick, pungent smell of blood pervaded the air.

”All clansmen who can use the Freezing Technique, and those who have ice talismans, go all out to freeze this river!” Li Zhirui yelled.

Without hesitation, the clansmen acted, and soon the stretch of river before them was solidly frozen, trapping the water devils within the ice or at the bottom of the river, unable to launch an attack for the time being.

”Other clansmen, take care of collecting the water devilsʼ heads!”

Under Li Zhiruiʼs methodical command, the couple hundred water devils before them were swiftly dealt with, but at the cost of a significant amount of mana and talismans.

More water devils wanted to rush over, but the ice on the river surface had not yet melted, temporarily stopping them at a farther distance.

”You all hurry up and recover your mana; Iʼm going to check on the other side,” Li Zhirui said before dashing off.

Within moments, Li Zhirui reached the location he was worried about and found that although there were more water devils than before, the number was still significantly less than what he had faced earlier.

The dozen or so clansmen stationed there were steadily reducing the number of water devils with the help of the formation, and no dangerous situation had arisen, which made Li Zhirui breathe a sigh of relief.

After helping them deal with the water devils before them and instructing them to be cautious, Li Zhirui hurriedly left.

He had been concerned about this place earlier, and now that he saw the situation wasnʼt as bad as he had imagined, naturally, he wouldnʼt stay in this relatively safe area.

The river at this battlefield to the north was the narrowest and skewed to the west, attracting fewer water devils because the two rivers ahead had drawn away many of them.

”How can there be so many water devils?” Back at his own checkpoint, Li Zhirui looked at the dense throng of devils before him and muttered gravely to himself.

The water devils werenʼt very strong, but their sheer number was overwhelming, and under their relentless efforts, the ice layer blocking their path was about to be broken.

”You join me in the attack, and the rest of you recover more mana before joining in,” Li Zhirui pointed to the people in front of him.

When Li Zhirui took action, a dark curtain of rain enveloped a large number of water devils, using the potent toxin contained in the Corrosive Water to poison them to death. The toxin could even spread through the water.

Even after dilution, while the effect wasnʼt as strong, it was still sure to affect the water devils, weakening their strength.

After the concerted efforts of everyone, they eventually managed to deal with the several hundred water devils in front of them, and the massive amount of broken flesh and blood drove the water devils behind them into a frenzy of devouring, giving Li Zhirui and the others a chance to catch their breath.

”Why are these water devils unending? Is there a problem at the frontlines?” Li Zhirui furrowed his brows, feeling that the situation was not simple, but it was not possible for him to go and investigate now.

”I wonder how Elder Shilian and Uncle Ren are faring at their locations.”

The place where Li Shilian was located was at the frontline of the three battlefields to the north, the area with the greatest number of water devils.

Fortunately, there were more clansmen there, and with Li Shilianʼs rich experience in dealing with beast tides, the situation was still manageable.
