Chapter 24 - Luan Defense Mission



She rushed back to the Jade Dragon Pavilion, and saw a crowd of people waiting for the announcement. Seconds later, someone came out and everyone turned silent.

"Attention! this is a mission for all ranks, Luan City is in danger of a beast horde led by a unknown Rank 5. You do not have to worry about the Rank 5, we have already notified the higher-ups and they are currently sending in several experts to deal with it. Your task is to defend the city! If the mission is successful, you will be awarded with 1000 contribution points. Furthermore, anything you harvest from the corpses will be yours", he said.

After finishing, numerous murmurs erupted throughout the crowd. The reward was quite nice but they were up against a beast horde. It was even had a rank 5 in it. After several minutes of discussion, a group of five walked forth and volunteered.

"Look! Its the Iron Fist Mercenaries, everyone there is at Black Turtle Rank, Their leader, Yan Jian, is extremely strong! He might reach White Tiger Rank in next year\'s ranking examinations", said one person.

"If such a strong group is going, we will go as well", another group also walked forward and many other groups joined as well.

Ming Yue saw this and also joined in but she did not join as a group, she signed as a independent member. After doing so, she immediately asked to see Meng Zhao, the receptionists allowed her in, knowing that she had a connection with him.

When she entered the office, Meng Zhao was seen looking through multiple documents, undoubtedly this was for the defense mission. If the beast horde did not include a rank 5, he would not have needed to do so much work. After all, a rank 5 had enough power to destroy multiple cities on its own, if not, the entire province. Only a team of Earth Realm cultivators could contend with them but they only had a slight chance of winning in a head on fight. They needed a fair amount of preparation before taking on a rank 5.

"When is the beast horde happening?" she asked.

"At least a week, the beast horde is still forming, it will take time to grow. At best, we have a month, before they attack", he replied.

"At least a week", she thought, "But Luan City is 2 weeks from us, even if everyone rushes, we would barely arrive in one week."

"I know what you\'re thinking", said Meng Zhao, "The team of experts have already been sent to deal with the Rank 5, furthermore, the city has already begun fortifying itself for the horde. Even if we don\'t make it, they should be able to hold on for another several days."

"If you want to depart now, go down and ask for a sky boat, with it, you will reach the city in 3 days."

After hearing this, she rushed out after thanking him. He looked at her with a worried face. This was the daughter of his benefactor and dear friend, it would do him no good to lose her too. He went back to his desk and finished his work quickly. Once he was done, he would immediately depart for Luan City.

In the sky was a silver boat holding a girl, It was Ming Yue and she was already heading out for the city. She had already spent some time traveling and waited impatiently.

"I hope that I\'m not too late", she thought.

Days later, she finally reached the city only to see that attack had begun! It hasn\'t been a week yet, but the beast horde had already charged out. In addition, the horde was almost double the size that the pavilion had predicted. Several thousand beasts rushed forth from very side, crashing into the walls. The boat descended down onto the southern side of the city but before it landed, Ming Yue jumped off and immediately rushed down the southern gates. This was the main gate as well as the side that had the most pressure.

Almost two thousand beasts rushed this area while around 4 thousand attacked the other sides. Both city guards and cultivators defended the city walls, there were around two thousand of them making it so around five hundred were delegated to each side. Each and every one of them were armed with either bows, swords, spears, etc. Multiple teams handled ballista, poured boiling oil and throwing down rocks.

Several people were surprised by her appearance as she ran up the walls.

"Hey, what are you doing here?!" said one of the guards.

Ming Yue didn\'t listen to him and jumped off the wall landing in front of the beasts. Xiao Yin flew off of her shoulder, surveying from the air.

"Hey! stop!" said some of the defenders.

This action of hers was practically suicidal. No one would leave the city walls and tackle these monster alone, doing so would definitely result in their death. But no one bothered to save her, they were too busy trying to defend the city to even look at her. However, they began paying more and more attention to her.

All of them had one thought, "She didn\'t die."

They were shocked to see her, fighting the massive amount of monsters. She killed her way through, leaving a trail of bodies. She didn\'t stay in one place, weaving around and avoiding their attacks. Due to her bond with Xiao Yin, they communicated with each other, directing Ming Yue to wherever there was a large cluster of monsters. Any of the beasts that approached her would die in one swing.

"Shit!" she thought.

One of the beasts had managed to get close to her and she couldn\'t dodge fast enough. It lunged at her, jaws wide open, aiming at her arm. She prepared to take the hit but an arrow pierced its head and fell to the ground.

"Hurry! Support the girl!"

She noticed one of the commanders, yelling for a group of archers to focus on her.

"If you don\'t want to become a corpse, support her!" he said.

A group of 6 or 7 archers drew their bows shooting at any creature that approached her.

Knowing that she did not have to worry about any hidden attacks, she started attacking without holding back, focusing only on what was in front of her. The team supporting her was extremely surprised. Ming Yue fought with even more ferocity, attacking twice as fast as before. Each time her blade moved, lives were taken. It didn\'t matter where the beasts attacked from, they either died from arrows or by he sword.

She continued like this for several hours, killing hundreds. Not even the most experienced veterans could match her endurance. By the end, they avoided her like she was death.. None of the beasts approached her, they knew that being within 5 feet of her was certain death.
