Cultivation begins in Qingfeng Market.

This gives the "Four-Element Yinglong" an astonishing level of battery life!

It was like a tireless war fortress, continuously unleashing devastating area-of-effect spells.

The efficiency with which they wiped out the monsters was astonishing!

"It works! Continue!" A look of joy flashed in Lin Zhao's eyes, and he focused even more intently on controlling the device.

He rode Yinglong, moving slowly along the precarious defensive line. Wherever he passed, flames raged, water jets covered the ground, gales howled, and rock spikes sprang up.

The defense line, which was on the verge of collapse, was actually stabilized by him single-handedly!

"Roar!" "Hiss!"

Amidst the beast tide, several elite demonic beasts, each possessing a massive size and reaching the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining, were present.

Seemingly enraged by this sudden "roadblock," it roared and charged forward.

A "Crimson Fire Wolf" spewed scorching fireballs, while an "Ice Crystal Python" released a bone-chilling cold current.

Faced with these elite demonic beasts, Lin Zhao's thoughts stirred slightly. The Four Yuan Yinglong ceased casting area-of-effect spells, and the spiritual light on its four claws suddenly shone brightly.

Four beams of energy, each with a different attribute but equally condensed, shot out like four precise scalpels, instantly piercing the vital points of these elite demonic beasts!

Switch freely between area-of-effect and precision attacks!

"My God... who... who is this senior?"

"That's incredible! We're saved!"

The cultivators below, recovering from their initial shock, erupted in cheers of relief.

Looking at the figure in the air and the god-like Four-Element Yinglong, their eyes were filled with awe and gratitude.

Zhao Lie, the person in charge of the base, was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes. He loudly directed the other cultivators, "Quickly! Cooperate with this senior to strengthen the defenses and treat the wounded!"

With the powerful support of the Four Yuan Yinglong, the cultivators at the Rock Base were greatly encouraged and began to effectively organize a counterattack, gradually driving the demonic beasts away.

This defensive battle lasted for nearly three hours.

When the four-colored energy storm unleashed by the Four-Element Yinglong swept across the battlefield, completely tearing it apart, the demonic beasts, scattered and broken by the storm,...

Unable to withstand the casualties any longer, they retreated in panic, and the entire Rock Camp erupted in thunderous cheers.

Lin Zhao slowly descended to the center of the camp. The four dragons in the sky slowly dissipated, eventually transforming into four-colored spiritual light and returning to the precious pearl.

His face was somewhat pale; controlling Yinglong over a long period of time had also greatly depleted his spiritual energy and mental strength.

He looked at the grateful and admiring gazes cast upon him by the surrounding cultivators, but his heart remained largely unmoved; he simply nodded slightly.

Lin Zhao initially thought that the powerful attack capabilities displayed by the "Four Elements Yinglong" that day would be enough to intimidate the beast horde.

By giving the Rock Base a chance to regroup, he can then retire successfully.

However, he underestimated the ferocity and tenacity of the demonic beasts. In the following days, although the beast tide's offensive slowed slightly due to Lin Zhao's presence,

But they did not stop, continuing to attack the defensive lines of the garrison.

Even worse news arrived—the Foundation Establishment cultivator who originally resided at the Rock Base was still nowhere to be found.

Later, a Qi Refining cultivator who came to provide support brought more accurate information.

The main battlefield of Guiyun Market has been fully assembled, with both human Foundation Establishment cultivators and second-tier demonic beasts ready for a decisive battle!

All Foundation Establishment cultivators stationed in the outer outposts who could be contacted have been urgently conscripted to the main battlefield.

The Foundation Establishment Master of the Rock Retreat was among them.

This also means that it is unlikely that any Foundation Establishment cultivators will come to the aid of the Rock Base in the short term.

The only "variable" turned out to be Lin Zhao, who happened to be trapped in this place and had the ability to traverse the beast horde.

The base was completely besieged, and the scattered support teams and supplies from the outside world were simply unable to break through the thick blockade of the beast horde.

Only Lin Zhao, relying on the speed of the "Four Elements Sword Wings" and the powerful attack and clearing ability of the "Four Elements Yinglong,"

They were able to forcefully open a breach at a critical moment, allowing support teams carrying valuable pills, spirit stones, and array repair materials to enter the base.

Without the continuous "blood transfusion" from these cultivators, the base would definitely not last more than a few days with only the remaining resources and cultivators within it.

To leave or to stay?

Lin Zhao stood on the tattered defensive line, looking down at the faces below who had been given renewed hope by his several rescue operations, and at the pleading eyes of the person in charge, Zhao Lie.

He is not an indecisive person. If things are truly hopeless, he will definitely leave alone without hesitation to save himself.

The world of cultivation is cruel, and he, having lived two lives, knows this very well.

But at this moment, he has the ability to save these thousands of people.

"So be it." Lin Zhao sighed inwardly. He was, after all, not the kind of cold-blooded, heartless person.

Especially when he has the ability. "I'll hold out until the decisive battle on the main battlefield is over. If we really can't hold this place, I can leave at any time with my Four Elements Sword Wings."

So Lin Zhao stayed.

The following month became the most memorable and relied-upon month for all the survivors of the Rock Base.

Lin Zhao became the "guardian" and the only "lifeline" of this garrison.

He began to use the "Four-Element Yinglong" cautiously based on the battle situation, occasionally utilizing the speed of the Four-Element Sword Wings for reconnaissance, support, and rapid reinforcement.

Or they could unleash other forms to "behead" the elite monsters in the beast tide.

Only when the defense line is at its most critical will the Four Dragons reappear to stabilize the situation with area-of-effect spells.

His elusive blue figure, and the four-colored Yinglong that sometimes soared through the sky, spreading the power of earth, water, fire, and wind, are deeply imprinted in everyone's heart.

It is unclear when exactly, but the name "Azure Dragon King" began to spread within the encampment and even to other encampments in the surrounding areas.

When Lin Zhao first heard this name, he was adjusting his breathing and almost lost his balance. He felt a sense of absurdity and was both amused and exasperated.

"Dragon King"? The title sounds impressive, but in reality, it's a case of the tallest tree attracting the most attention, and it's definitely not what he wants.

He immediately became alert, worried that this empty title would attract unnecessary attention or even trouble.

Especially considering his cultivation level was only at the eighth level of Qi Refining, he stood out even more among these cultivators.

After several months of fighting, Lin Zhao has gained a clear understanding of his own strength.

He never used his ultimate trump card, the "Four-Element Sword Dragon," always keeping a powerful trump card in reserve.

He used Zhao Lie, the person in charge of the base, who was at the tenth level of Qi Refining, as a reference for his estimation:

The full-force attack of the Four Elements Sword Dragon was roughly equivalent to the combined power of four Qi Refining Level 10 cultivators like Zhao Lie.

Or it could be the power of a combined attack from fifteen to twenty Qi Refining Level 9 cultivators.

In terms of attack range, after the Four-Element Yinglong can draw upon spiritual power, the area it covers can barely cover a radius of one mile.
