"Report—A breach has been blasted in the northeast wall. The soldiers are using their bodies to block it, but they can't hold on much longer!"

"Report—Flying constructs of the Outer Gods appeared in the west. Some have already flown over the city walls and are slaughtering the civilians aiding in city defense over the West Market!"

"Report—The southern city gate has been breached! Explosive constructs of the Outer Gods have blown it open!"

In the darkness of the night, Zhang San listened to reports from various locations, his brows furrowed tightly.

"Where is Zhuge Longyin? Have him bring his men and shoot down all those flying things on the western side for me immediately!"

"The southern gate is blown open. Use the explosives to blow up the area outside the southern gate as well, and while the constructs of the Outer Gods can't rush in, repair the southern gate for me, then seal it shut from the inside!"

After issuing these two orders, Zhang San thought for a moment and shouted at the Martial Artists of the Town Martial Office behind him, "Leave one-third of the people here to continue holding the position, and the rest follow, follow me to the northeast corner!"

Zhang San knew that the northeast corner of the city wall had been breached, so he had to send people to help guard it.

At this moment, Zhang San hadn't reached the northeast corner yet, but he found that the city wall had been breached by some unknown attack, resulting in such a large gap. The entire city head now had a trench over ten feet long, as the wall in the trench's original position had been destroyed.

Zhang San took a deep breath and leaped into the trench.

"I'll hold the line, you go kill the constructs of the Outer Gods that have entered the city, then drag their corpses out and throw them away."

Although the constructs of the Outer Gods would consume the corpses of other dead constructs, Zhang San was more worried about some kind of mutation if these bodies were left in the city, potentially affecting the other ordinary people.

If the invading constructs had such an ability, it would be too late to clean it up later.

As for the bodies being devoured by other constructs once tossed out, as long as they were laced with poison or even explosives, it would be fine.

At this moment, Zhang San wielded a spear, slashing out with a single blade stroke, creating a blade light that extended for hundreds of feet in the northeast direction.

Under the enormous blade light, countless constructs of the Outer Gods turned to ash.

Then, Zhang San wielded blade techniques with one hand, slaying all the constructs of the Outer Gods trying to surge forward.

The other hand performed techniques, gathering the surrounding soil and rubble to fill the trench beneath his feet.

Soon, Zhang San repaired the breach in the northeast corner of the city wall.

While repairing, Zhang San came up with an idea and immediately performed a Wood Series Spell to grow towering trees outside the city, using their branches to entangle the numerous constructs of the Outer Gods.

Because the growth of these trees required nutrients from the earth, their roots could absorb energy from the corpses of the constructs of the Outer Gods.

This way, it somewhat reduced the constructs' ability to recover constantly by consuming others.

Since a considerable portion of the energy in the Outer Gods' energy cycle was now absorbed by the Wood Series Spell.

After absorbing nutrients from the corpses of the constructs, the huge trees started to fill with flames internally, which then exploded dramatically, turning into flaming trees that reduced countless constructs of the Outer Gods to flying ash.

Zhang San immediately ordered all who could use spells to start using this method to deplete the constructs' powers.

Zhang San knew this would be a lasting struggle, and only by depleting the Outer Gods' strength continuously could they win.

However, although everyone in Daxing City held on firmly, and while there were shift rotations, due to severe battle damage, many forces originally planned for tomorrow had to join the battle now.

By dawn, those who had painstakingly guarded through the night found that endless constructs of the Outer Gods were still surging forward outside.

For crying out loud, when would this end?

And just then, from the northeast direction, countless supernatural techniques roared.

A large number of the Outer Gods' constructs were reduced to ash under the powerful magical bombardment.

Following that, tens of thousands of iron cavalry advanced southward, engaging in fierce combat with remaining constructs not yet felled.

Simultaneously, numerous rune arrays lit up, releasing vast amounts of sand.

The endless sand rained down, sticking the feet of the constructs on the ground solidly in place.

Soon, the sand solidified, becoming as hard as stone.

The iron cavalry had already arrived and swiftly killed all the surrounding constructs of the Outer Gods.

"King of Northern Jin!? Is it the Fifth?"

Zhang San looked at the army attacking from the north, knowing they should be allies.

And at this moment, with the roaring sound of tigers from the west resounding through the forest.

Hu, who had left Daxing City to find reinforcements before, returned with a mass of the Demon Clan from Longyou Road, led by Li Shangfa's army that had pacified Longyou Road, charging in from the west.

This time, the Demon Clan that came mainly consisted of Tiger Demons, each leading the charge.

"Follow this White Tiger and attack! Exterminate the Outer Gods' constructs! Next year's prosperity must belong to our Tiger Clan!"

With Hu leading the charge bellowing, countless demons rushed forward madly.

Then, from the due south, a tremendous force of Calamity surged forth.

From afar, Zhang San saw Ximen Jinlian leading a massive number of Path of Calamity catastrophes into combat.

Zhang San could even see many ghosts appearing among the constructs.

Evidently, the Path of Life and Death had also intervened.

At this moment, the supporting forces from all around this world had concentrated near Daxing City on the Capital Region Road.

The real battle was only just beginning!

In the blink of an eye, ten days passed just like that.

Ten days later, with the efforts of all forces, all the constructs of the Outer Gods around Daxing City had been wiped out.

Of course, all forces had paid an extremely heavy price.

After all, the constructs of the Outer Gods could greatly increase their numbers by consuming the corpses of other constructs.

And now, with the battle finally over, everyone let out a sigh of relief.

Though Zhang San knew everyone was exhausted, he still ordered those who could move to immediately clean up the battlegrounds of the Outer Gods' constructs' bodies.

In case any constructs weren't actually dead, it would be far too easy for them to rise again.

While some civilians and soldiers were cleaning the battlefield, Jiang Ziwen and the Candle Dragon, along with Li Moxian and others, sensed a sudden and powerful, twisted aura emerging from the east.

Outer God!

It's an Outer God!

At that moment, Li Moxian furrowed his brows, realizing the situation was not as expected before.

Zhang San approached and spoke softly, "I sensed it too, there's an Outer God's aura in the east, and it's very strong. It seems these Outer Gods' constructs and their followers attacked Daxing City not just to destroy the Imperial Path but also to let an Outer God secretly grow while we're all distracted. Ten days is enough time for an Outer God to accomplish many things."

Li Moxian nodded slightly and asked, "So what do you think we should do now?"

Zhang San smiled bitterly and said, "What else can we do? Gather the remaining troops, rest a bit, then advance east together to hunt down the final Outer God!"
