Full-time Swordsman

Centennial City.

An inconspicuous small city with only tens of thousands of people in it, low walls and sparse defense.

On the distant horizon, a dark cloud was surging like a black wave, rolling up smoke and dust, with a mighty momentum.

Looking closely, the black wave was full of monsters rushing.

Big and small, there were iron-backed mantises and unicorn fire bulls in the foundation-building realm, desert sand wolves and bloodthirsty tail crocodiles in the crystallization realm, golden-eyed demon bats and rock lions in the golden elixir realm, and even human-faced demon spiders and blue flame demon bears in the spirit realm.

Just a casual glance, there are hundreds of monsters, as if entering a monster zoo.

These monsters that were supposed to live in the wild or in the forest are now collectively invading human settlements.

The civilians who were still working in the fields and hunting outside the city were shocked by this scene, and they threw down their tools and ran desperately into the city.

But their speed was no match for the monsters.

They didn't run far before a large number of flying monsters flew through the sky, easily tearing them into pieces and devouring them. For a moment, blood flowed like a river.

The people in the Centennial City found that the beast tide was coming, and they ran around in panic, hiding in their homes trembling, praying that their city lord could lead them through this disaster.

At this time, in the City Lord's Mansion, the city lord Zhou Jingtao and his subordinates were sweating profusely.

Don't get me wrong, they were not sweating because of fighting with the monsters, but... because of the temporary moving of luggage and dragging their families.

"City Lord, let's run away quickly. I've seen the beast tide outside. It's at least a Jindan-level beast tide, and it's very likely to be a spiritual-level beast. Our guards are not enough. This earthen wall will definitely fall down if it rushes at all."

Zhou Jingtao looked reluctant and guilty, but when he thought of the beast tide outside, this bit of kindness was thrown out of the window.

"That's right. Have you packed your things? Let's run away. By the way, did you take the pretty widow from the South Lane that I fell in love with a few days ago?"

The subordinate said anxiously: "City Lord, it's already this time, and you're still obsessed with a widow. Your habit is really a bit...perverted."

Zhou Jingtao glared and said: "What do you know? This is called Jian'an style and Wei Wu style! I'm concerned about how she will live after losing her husband. Stop talking nonsense and take that pretty widow with you!"

"Ah, I'll go right away!"

The subordinate had no choice but to immediately go find a widow for his boss.

Zhou Jingtao was already looking forward to the scene of saving the pretty widow, and she would be grateful and work hard to "reward" him.

However, before long, a figure flew over the city lord's mansion. Everyone looked up and saw a beautiful woman in a robe.

The woman had a pink face, peach cheeks, a high nose, bright eyes and white teeth, and was extremely beautiful.

Her figure is even more graceful, and the wide robe can't hide her perfect figure.

Especially on her snow-white neck, there is a small beauty mole, which makes her look more lively and extraordinary.

When Zhou Jingtao saw this person, he was not shocked by her beauty, but his face turned pale with fear.

The woman stayed above the city lord's mansion, looking down, and asked softly: "Where is the lord of Centennial City?"

Zhou Jingtao quickly stood up and said: "My dear mother! I am!"

The woman then asked: "The beast tide is coming, as the city lord, why don't you quickly gather the team to defend the city? Do you know that if the monsters enter the city, the people in the city will be buried in the mouth of the beasts?"

"Uh... I know, I'm preparing." Zhou Jingtao answered casually.

At this time, the subordinate ran in with a busty young woman inappropriately. The young woman ran violently, and the pair of giant weapons seemed to be able to kill people.

"City Lord, I've brought the pretty widow you asked for. She said that if you're willing to take her to escape, she'll be yours in the future." The subordinate said straightforwardly.

Zhou Jingtao stared at him, his eyes seemed to be able to kill.

"Bullshit! What are you talking about? When did this city lord say he wanted to escape? Do you think you want to shake my determination to love the people like my own children by giving me your wife?"

Zhou Jingtao's words were sonorous and loud.

The subordinate had a black question mark on his face.

"City Lord, this is not my wife. This is the pretty widow in the south alley you want."

"Bah! Nonsense! I tell you, this city lord will not leave the Centennial City. I will live and die with the people! Now, immediately summon all the garrison forces and temporarily recruit all the men to go up to the city wall together to resist the beast tide! This city lord will lead the way!"

After saying that, Zhou Jingtao sacrificed a long sword, soared into the air, and flew out of the city without hesitation, leaving a group of subordinates and the busty young woman stunned.

Zhou Jingtao flew to the edge of the city, looked out, and looked at the black "wave" of yellow sand all over the sky. The hand holding the sword trembled.

Did he have a guilty conscience? Wrong! It was really the woman behind him.Son, too big a background.

That was the most important and promising disciple of Yuanji Fazong, Mu Lingbing, a small city lord who couldn't afford to offend.

If Mu Lingbing reported him to the court, he would die even if he fled to the ends of the earth.

Yuanji Fazong was originally in Yongning Prefecture, and shouldn't be in Muxian Prefecture.

In fact, it was because Mu Lingbing was born in Bai Nian City. When he was young, he showed super talent. He was taken to Yongning Prefecture by the elders of Yuanji Fazong who passed by, and later became the head of the sect.

Because of the Winter Festival, Yuanji Fazong also had a holiday. Mu Lingbing went back to her hometown to visit her relatives, but unexpectedly encountered a beast tide attacking the city.

Knowing that her hometown was about to be in trouble, she did not choose to go back, but stayed to protect her hometown.

"Senior Mu... you can see that the beast tide may not be resisted by such a small force. You are the pride of your hometown. Why don't you run away and I will stay to defend the city!"

Zhou Jingtao said with great righteousness. In fact, he wanted to run away immediately after Mu Lingbing left.

Mu Lingbing saw through his trick at a glance and snorted coldly: "You don't have to worry about me. I will give my greatest strength to Centennial City. As the city lord, you should do the same. If it is really impossible, it will not be too late to leave. If you want to run away without even a little strength, don't blame me for reporting you to the outside world!"

Zhou Jingtao was shocked and could only give up the idea of ​​running away and began to seriously command the guards to defend the city.

In addition to Mu Lingbing, there are many monks staying in Centennial City.

Only a few are willing to stay.

Most of them choose to abandon the city and flee.

Mu Lingbing really wants to call them to stay and help, but she also knows that it is useless even if she says it, and others don't have to listen to her.

"City Lord Zhou, don't worry. As long as we hold on for a while, the nearby sects will definitely come to support us after hearing the news. By the way, which sect is the closest to us?"

Zhou Jingtao quickly replied, "It's the Tianyan Sword Sect."

Mu Lingbing smiled and said, "Then there's no need to worry. The Tianyan Sword Sect is a famous and upright sect. They won't stand by and watch us die. Just focus on defending the city."

Zhou Jingtao thought about it and felt much more relieved.
