The man said anxiously: "The enemy's attack is too fierce; we might not be able to hold on."
Ling Zhenfei felt frustrated in his heart; who would have thought such a thing would happen?
Ling Zhenfei said: "Don't worry about me; I'll be done soon."
Although Ling Zhenfei said it would be soon, healing is not that simple, and at least a little more time is needed.
The man anxiously said: "Then please hurry up; I'll go outside to defend."
After speaking, the man walked out.
Ling Zhenfei knew that the battle between humans and foreign races was bound to happen, but he did not expect it to happen so soon.
It occurred much faster than he imagined, but Ling Zhenfei still didn't know exactly what was happening outside.
What Ling Zhenfei could do now was to use his fastest speed to help this person heal.
Boom!
With a loud noise, Ling Zhenfei clearly felt explosions happening around Wu Liang.
Ling Zhenfei knew the battle had already reached around Wu Liang.
The sounds grew louder, and Ling Zhenfei even felt a powerful vibration and loud noise around him.
Ling Zhenfei's heart was extremely tense because the treatment was now reaching the most critical point.
Ling Zhenfei used Dual Focus, projecting his soul outward to observe the outside situation.
The sight outside shocked Ling Zhenfei.
Outside, the scene was filled with aftermaths of fighting between humans and foreign races, especially with many dead from both sides scattered on the open grounds.
The reason why the battle started so quickly and humans struggled to hold on was mainly due to the foreign races launching a surprise attack near Wu Liang.
Ling Zhenfei saw a group of towering foreign races outside. These tall ones were about ten meters in height, looking remarkably robust.
They held shields with one hand and large clubs with the other.
The shields looked very solid, even able to block Northern Spiritual Energy; they used shields to block energy and clubs to strike if there wasn't any energy.
They cultivated all their energy onto themselves, able to resist very strong energy, and wore special armor that ordinary cultivators' energy had no effect on.
Even when using a club to strike, it was purely using brute force.
But being hit by the club wielded by a ten-meter giant wasn't good.
Behind the giants was a group of double-headed persons, one head resembling a wolf and the other a goat, each with horns.
Holding long swords, they followed the giants, with mounted cavalry on strange beasts behind them.
Their mounts resembled rhinos, appearing as tough-skinned monsters.
The skin looked like iron, tall and sturdy, with beasts crowned with sharp long and short horns, not something nice to be hit by.
Behind these were flying soldiers with wings, the Bird People, carrying long swords and bows.
They mainly served as archers, focusing on using bows for long-range attacks.
The foreign races now executed coordinated multi-terrain strikes.
Behind them were numerous ground archers, seemingly elves, who were naturally gifted at archery.
In front of the archers stood several figures, doing nothing but evoking more fear; they were Elemental Mages.
Ling Zhenfei had encountered Elemental Mages before, aware of their power, and knew becoming one required monumental talent.
Elemental talent required innate ability followed by cultivation; the innate conditions were extremely important.
Perhaps only one person out of ten thousand had elemental talent.
Having the talent alone didn't guarantee becoming an Elemental Mage without also mastering the study afterward, as insufficient aptitude could hinder using elemental power.
Even if you could use elemental power through cultivation, insufficient elemental power would still be an issue.
But now there stood a row of Elemental Mages, showcasing great power; if unleashed, it would be terrifying.
At the end of the lineup were cultivators, most likely disciples of the Supreme Divine Palace, possessing great strength.
The Supreme Divine Palace was akin to Tianling Spirit Palace, Divine Palace, and Wuliang Immortal Palace among human cultivators.
Disciples from these sects were exceptionally strong.
What shocked Ling Zhenfei the most was how they appeared instantly; prior observation hadn't revealed any foreign races nearby.
Presumably, they were hiding in the forest behind the Supreme Divine Palace for a fatal strike against humans.
These foreign races evidently underwent meticulous planning, from formation design to assembling powerful cultivators.
Humans weren't prepared for an immediate battle, so when confronted with the opponent's decisive formation, they couldn't hold, retreating continually.
Originally, their lodgment was just arriving here, with the area between the forest and the Supreme Divine Palace being low shrubs.
For several days, they moved through the forest, continuously seeing similar scenery, allowing relaxation.
All major sects built Wu Liang among the forest's edge shrubs.
So now, fighting quickly spilled into Wu Liang of Wuliang Mountain.
The ten-meter-tall monsters were unseen, and regardless of their combat prowess, their mere height terrified many.
So humans couldn't locate weaknesses when battles erupted.
Without identifying weaknesses, they were no match, constantly retreating.
The retreat reached near Wu Liang.
Everyone engaged in battle, leaving nobody to attend to whether others remained in Wu Liang.
Bird People archers unleashed volleys at Wu Liang, shooting arrows.
Ling Zhenfei acted quickly, retracting the power of the soul, forming a Northern Spiritual Energy barrier before him.
The Bird People's arrows had Soul Break effects, but barriers formed from the power of the soul surpassed Northern Spiritual Energy ones.
Ling Zhenfei increasingly realized the strength of the power of the soul; while everyone cultivated energy, numerous cultivation techniques targeted energy.
