A few moments before the head guard almost died.
Siphyr was walking with his fellow disciples led by the city lord towards the front line.
As of now, they still had no idea of the situation of the front line as no citizen was allowed to go near there.
Also, all of the guards were busy defending the city as to why no one had been able to report the situation.
That was when Siphyr heard someone's voice transmitted into his head. A telepathy of some sort uses Nyxavor to talk inside their heads without opening their mouths.
"Master, I think you should head towards the front line immediately, the situation there is worse than you'll imagine."
At first Siphyr was startled by the voice inside his head, but after hearing the familiar tone he calmly replied.
"Why, has the beasts attack already started?"
"Yes, and the first wave of the beasts tide is already done, almost all of them are exhausted. I don't think they'll be able to handle the next one."
"So we're late.... Anyway, thanks for the heads up, Liliane. I'll rush there first."
Siphyr looked at his fellow disciples and informed them about the situation.
"I'll be going first, the second wave has already started, so we should hurry." Saying so he disappeared from his spot as he ran with all his might towards the other end of the city.
"H- He's fast!" One of the girls in the group exclaimed.
"Right, I thought he was at the early third stage but seeing his speed he must've been hiding his strength. After all that's not the speed someone at the third stage could muster."
The leader of the group, Yu Shu Wang explained and gathered everyone's attention.
"Anyway, since the second wave has already started, let's head there now before it's too late."
The others nodded and Yu Shu Wang activated his movement technique and jumped above the buildings.
The others also followed, some hopped from building to buildings like Yu Shu Wang and some ran through the streets, leaving behind the city lord.

In a matter of two minutes Siphyr crossed the city and arrived at the front line.
He jumped up the walls skillfully using the movement technique his master taught him.
Upon arriving at the top of the wall, he saw that the situation was indeed much worse than they thought.
There were people laying on the ground, their leather armors torn and some of the men's guts could even be seen spilling out of his stomach.
Also, just by looking at their condition, it was obvious that they were tired, exhausted from fighting beasts with cultivation.
Hell, it was already a miracle that they managed to survive.
As Siphyr observed them, he heard the shrieks and cries of beasts and wolves.
Then, his gaze fell upon the head guard, he knew that he was the leader just by seeing that he was the only one with a cultivation.
"10 Nyxars.... And his going to face that wolf with more than 30 Nyxars? What do you mean surpassed it, you'll just die a meaningless death even if you breakthrough now."
Siphyr thought his decision of facing the wolf head on was foolish but at least he was brave.
With Siphyr using Nyxavor to enhance his hearing and sight, he was easily able to see and hear something far away.
And so, without even thinking about it, he rushed at full speed and turned into a streak of light towards the giant wolf.
Using his movement technique he was able to arrive before the head guard clashed with the wolf.
He brought out his spear and slashed the wolf's neck, easily slicing through it as if it was butter.
It wasn't just because his spear was a treasure but also because of his immense body strength.
And his physical strength will only increase even further in the future once he dual cultivates. He looked forward to that time.
Then, he faced the head guard who fell to the ground with a face of disbelief before saying,
"Sorry for the late arrival. Please retreat for now, my fellow disciples should arrive in a few minutes. Before then, I'll take care of these beasts."
Saying so, Siphyr rushed towards the incoming beasts, he slashed their necks, thrust through their hearts, and even sliced their heads open with his spear.
It was as if he was unstoppable and due to their instincts the beast retreated a few steps back.
-Grrrrrr!
-Awooooooo!!!
They growled and Siphyr smiled.
"Calling for your pack for help huh, but you'll die before they arrive."
He said to the wolf and disappeared from his spot leaving an illusory afterimage, and when he reappeared he was already beside the wolf.
He slashed his spear from bottom to top and sliced through the wolf's body leaving behind a fountain of blood.
He didn't stop there and slaughtered a few more beasts without even using spear intent or aura, he killed them with brute strength alone.
Seeing him slaughter the beasts that they thought were powerful, they were all in disbelief.
Still they cheered and joy filled their previous ashen faces.
"WOoooo!!! That's right, kill those animals! Slaughter them!"
They shouted and hearing their cheers Siphyr wryly smiled and once again focused on killing beasts.
It was only after Siphyr killed almost all the beasts in a few minutes and the only ones left in the second wave that remained were a pack of wolves, was when the other disciples arrived.
"Woah....."
"I don't believe this..... He killed all of them before we arrived? It's only been a few minutes!"
"Right, this is just unbelievable....."
The disciples that just arrived were shocked and muttered in disbelief.
The scene in front of them was just plain unbelievable.
"I know all of you are shocked, but let's go help him. It's better to have a strong ally, everyone let's go."
They nodded at Yu Shu Wang's words and they headed to the battlefield.
Even so, they still couldn't get the fact that someone that strong was at the third stage in their heads.
