Chapter 2180: Chapter 2177: Cloud Province City

The monster beast showed a mocking expression on its face, then picked up the little girl with one hand, tossed her into the sky, and opened its large mouth intending to swallow her.

Ling Feng pinched his fingers together: "Wind-Controlling Art!"

A gentle breeze lifted the little girl, and instead of falling into the monster beast’s mouth, she was carried away by Ling Feng’s Wind-Controlling Art, landing safely in his arms.

"It’s okay now, go find your mom!" Ling Feng gently patted the little girl’s head and said softly.

The little girl looked up at Ling Feng: "Big brother, are you going to kill the monster to protect everyone?"

Ling Feng paused for a moment, then chuckled softly: "That’s right, I’m going to kill the monster, protect everyone, and protect the village. It’s up to me now; go find your mom!"

With joy, the little girl left, and Ling Feng turned to the monster beast: "I’ll give you until the count of five to leave, otherwise, I won’t be polite!"

It wasn’t that Ling Feng was overly kind, but his current body was too weak. A simple Wind-Controlling Art had already exhausted one-fifth of his strength, and casting a more powerful spell might be beyond what his body could endure.

"Arrogant brat, you let my prey escape, I will kill you!" the monster beast roared, then opened its mouth wide, spewing blobs of mucus toward Ling Feng.

The mucus transformed into swarming insects in mid-air, rushing towards Ling Feng.

Ling Feng’s expression changed slightly, and he took a deep breath: "Fire!"

Using the Fire-Control Technique, flames appeared around the airborne mucus, instantly burning it all to nothing!

"A fire attribute exorcist, no less!" the monster beast’s expression changed: "But your power is still too weak; you’re no match for me..."

"Noisy!" Ling Feng frowned slightly, pinching his fingers again. A mass of thunderclouds appeared in the sky, with countless bolts of lightning intertwining to form a massive Thunder Dragon, glaring menacingly at the monster beast.

"You... you, an exorcist apprentice, how can you possess such power!" the monster beast was greatly shocked, sensing the oppressive force of the thunderclouds in the sky. If that Thunder Dragon attacked it, it might suffer serious injuries, or worse, even die!

"Boy, just wait and see, I won’t let you off!" the monster beast sneered, opened its mouth wide, swept away the surrounding corpses, then turned and burrowed into the ground.

Ling Feng dispelled the thunderclouds, his face extremely pale. The Thunder Dragon just now was only an empty shell, and Ling Feng’s current internal strength couldn’t sustain such a large-scale technique.

At this moment, the sound of something cutting through the air came from afar, and several men in uniform appeared here.

"The Sticky-Eared Beast has left, but there’s still a great amount of thunder attribute energy lingering in the air; could it be that a master drove it away?"

"Hey, kid, are you one of the exorcists?" one man said deeply: "Do you know what just happened here?"

"Just now, the Sticky-Eared Beast was scared off by a Thunder Dragon that suddenly appeared in the air!" Ling Feng said, "Now it’s nowhere to be seen!"

"Do you know who released the Thunder Dragon?"

Ling Feng shook his head.

"What a pity, judging by the lingering power in the air, it was a master, but there aren’t many thunder attribute masters on record! Who could it be?" one of the men murmured to himself.

"We’ve received news that your master was killed by the Sticky-Eared Beast. Come with us, Cloud Province City is safer, and then you can decide whether to stay or leave!"

Ling Feng nodded slightly. Through that rush of memory, Ling Feng also understood that this is a world where humans and demons coexist. Humans hunt demons for cultivation, while demons devour humans to enhance their cultivation.

What a love-hate relationship setting it is!

These men are from the Demon-Slaying Squad of Cloud Province City, and Ling Feng naturally wanted to go back to Cloud Province City with them to investigate more.

After more than half an hour, Ling Feng finally saw the towering city. Outside the city, there was a massive formation protecting the entire city.

"So big!" Ling Feng murmured to himself.

Upon entering the city, the men went to report on the Sticky-Eared Beast, leaving Ling Feng alone outside.

Ling Feng didn’t expect them to help out completely. He dug through his pockets, which were as clean as his face, and couldn’t help but feel a headache.

"That cheap master never left any money, and now that he’s dead, I don’t even have a coin. This is a bit troublesome!" Ling Feng hesitated on the street.

Standing at the street corner, Ling Feng saw many refugees sitting at the wall corners around him, their faces full of panic, unease, and fear.

At this moment, a voice rang out: "They’re distributing soup at the East City Gate now, everyone hurry to get some!"

Upon hearing this, the refugees’ eyes lit up, and they all rushed towards the East City Gate.

Ling Feng shook his head. He felt his own empty stomach, sighed, and also headed towards the East City Gate.

When Ling Feng reached the East City Gate, it was already packed with people, all the refugees eagerly awaiting the soup distribution time.

"I heard that this soup distribution was specially ordered by the City Lord, we really have a considerate City Lord worrying about the people!"

"Yes, I hope the City Lord can defeat the monster and let us return to our homes again."

"Recently, monster beasts have been frequently attacking villages around Cloud Province City. I have a feeling there’s something fishy about this, and something big is bound to happen!"

...

Ling Feng continuously gathered information around him, and from the words of the refugees, this Cloud Province City Lord seemed to have a pretty good reputation?

At this moment, in the City Lord’s Mansion, the Cloud Province City Lord looked somewhat stern: "Are you all sure about this?"

In front of him stood dozens of men, who nodded and said: "City Lord, according to the current investigation results, it is indeed the case. The demon race has set their sights on our Cloud Province City; they are likely to make a big move next, and maybe even... launch a full-scale attack on our Cloud Province City!"

The City Lord took a deep breath: "Immediately send out all the scouts, and then contact Tiantian City and Suyuan City. If it becomes absolutely necessary, seek help!"

"Yes, we will do so at once!"

The City Lord stood by the window, watching the bustling crowd of refugees in the distance. A flash of pity crossed his eyes.

"What in Cloud Province City could possibly warrant such a large-scale attack by the demon race?" the City Lord murmured to himself, "I guess I must prepare in advance."

In a valley hundreds of kilometers away from Cloud Province City, it was crowded with countless monster beasts, all gazing with fervent eyes at a man hovering in the air.
