Night fell, and the roars of beasts echoed outside Celestial Rock City.
A constant stream of beasts attacked, and the pressure on Yu Fei's section of the wall increased dramatically.
Sixth-rank beasts had already begun to appear in the attacks, but he had yet to encounter one.
In his most outwardly dangerous encounter, a flock of 5th-rank avian beasts attacked. Yu Fei, his sword wreathed in wind-aspected Gang Qi, seemed to defeat them by the narrowest of margins. To Zhuang Yan, however, this was a display of Yu Fei's superb Swordsmanship.
He carefully controlled his power, presenting himself as a Five Realms Divine Intent Martial Artist with exceptional Swordsmanship and Body Technique, so as not to startle everyone.
At dawn, a 6th-rank beast charged his position. He reined in the power of his Sword Qi, managing to hold it at bay until Zhuang Yan sent reinforcements to deal with it.
