1 Beast Tide

In the small mist village, people could be seen running with different types of weapons in hands, there were swords, spears and even farming gears, in this fateful day the scouts on the outskirts of the mist forest noticed the formation of a beast tide, announcing a calamity for the poor villagers.

Li Fengyu leader of the mist village and the only cultivator, a middle-aged man with an imposing muscular physique of more than two meters tall, took his gorgeous wife and little boy of no more than three years old to hide in the basement of their house.

"Feng my dear you have to be careful, even if you can't save the village, you have to stay safe and escape when your life is in danger! At least do it for little Ming"

The young women had tears in her beautiful azure eyes as she looked into her husband eyes while, begging for his safety.

"Meilin, you don't have to worry, believe in me, at most these beasts are rank 2 or 3, and you know I already broke through to the golden core realm, so there is no danger for me, just wait safely until this ordeal is over, we can then take Ming'er and leave this place".

Fengyu reassured his wife and kissed her and his son on the forehead as he then rushed toward the gates of the village with his sword in hand.

"Report! What's the situation", he ordered one of the guards.

"Immortal Fengyu!, the situation doesn't look good, apparently a tier 4 beast king is leading this bear tide, there is even several tier 3 beast lords"

Fengyu didn't seem disturbed by the desperate situation as he gave his orders.

"Everyone, listen to me! You all have to evacuate toward rock city, I will do my best to hold down the enemy and provide time for your escape, now GO!!"

Tears began to appear in the villagers' eyes as they heard their leader heroic declaration, hesitation and sadness apparent in their eyes.

Fengyu, then turned to a guard behind him.

Old pal Lu, I hope you can take my wife and little boy to safety.

The guard an old man in his fifties didn't hesitate as he accepted his orders with a stern face, this old man was the Butler of Fengyu, and he stayed with him for half his life, so he understood that his master was determinated to save the villagers wile putting his life on the line, he knew all he could do is to protect and defend his master family.

Even so, his old eyes couldn't help but tear up as he rushed toward the basement, where his master's wife and kid were hiding.

After taking care of everything, Fengyu rushed out of the village as he could observe a large cloud of dirt nearing him, all sort of beast could be seen rushing in a frenzy toward the village, and leading them was a large purple serpent more than sixty feet long.

Focusing his energy in his sword, Fengyu let out a beam of energy toward the serpent, however even though the beast was hit, this attack only left a shallow wound on its skin that wouldn't affect it at all, after all despite being in the same realm, a beast will always be stronger than a human cultivator, due to their innate superior physique.

"Hahh! Seems like I will have to go all out if I want to have a chance at winning, but I doubt its companions would allow us to duel, guess there is no hope then, Meilin, Ming'er I'm sorry... hope you stay safe".

After, strengthening his resolve, spiritual energy exploded out of his body as Fengyu aura sharply rose up, he then let out a loud roar as he rushed toward the beast tide.

"Demons, I will exterminate you!! Aaaahgh!!"

Brandishing his sword several tier 2 and tier 3 beast were eliminated, with a fiery red aura surrounding his body, Fengyu attacked left and right as he got into a berserk state of mind.

However, even with his impressive display of power, a single lash from the serpent tail knocked him more than sixty feet away as he vomited blood.

Wile down and looking back, he could see some villagers still running away, doing his best to get up a determinated look appeared in his eyes as he once again rushed toward the beasts.

Going all out to contain these ferocious enemies, wounds began to cover Fengyu body after what seemed to be a long moment, his spiritual sense could no longer detect the villagers.

Letting out a loud roar, a crazy look appeared in his eyes as he began to focus energy toward his dantian.

"Meilin... take care of Ming'er, may we meet again in our next life"

"hhaaarghhh!!!"

Enormous amounts of energy shrouded his golden core inside his dantian as it shattered, creating an apocalyptic explosion, taking with it the lives of hundreds of beasts.
