Chapter 233: Tide Of Vicious Beasts
All parties wanted to charge into the Jing Tian Tower to seize Qin Jingtian’s inheritance.
They had completely disregarded the attacks of the Blood Flood Dragon Evil Beasts. It was true that killing Blood Flood Dragons and obtaining their spirits was important to them.
However, compared to Qin Jingtian’s inheritance, it was not even a little bit comparable.
“Enter the valley!”
Yuan Yi made a decisive choice and immediately told Lan Yunyue, Zhao Mingcheng, and Suo Yunyi to abandon the Blood Flood Dragon Evil Beasts and rush into the Blood Qi Valley.
Xing Xi Yang and Yuan Yi exchanged blows, but both only briefly sparred before turning their attacks onto the Blood Flood Dragon Evil Beasts in front of them, each wanting to rush into the valley first.
At this time, Xing Xi Yang’s Nine Peaks Sect fellow disciples also arrived outside the valley, totaling five people, all working together to break through the encirclement of the Blood Flood Dragon Evil Beasts.
Yuan Yi and the others, being the closest, had already reached the entrance of the valley first.
The Jing Tian Tower emitted a powerful aura, seemingly having a great suppressive effect on the Blood Flood Dragon Evil Beasts; the valley entrance was the dividing line.
The Blood Flood Dragon Evil Beasts could not enter, and the mountain-like pressure within the valley was one of the Jing Tian Tower’s trials.
The Flood Dragon Scale Leopard, Dragon Python, and Flood Dragon Horned Alligator Dragon, three Second-order Perfected Vicious Beasts, roared and launched their attacks, leading more Blood Flood Dragon Evil Beasts in an attempt to block the valley entrance.
“Bastards!”
Yuan Yi’s gaze turned cold, his Greedy Wolf True Intent surfaced, and he then unleashed a hundred-zhang sword light, heading straight for the three.
Lan Yunyue struck at the opportune moment, her Moon Gazing Sword executing a “Moon Gazing and Cloud Listening” attack. Instantly, it was as if a full moon had descended, with immortal clouds swirling. The sword light pierced the Dragon Python’s body, heavily wounding it in an instant.
The four of them worked together, seizing the opportunity, and flew towards the valley.
Gu Lingfeng was only a few dozen feet away from everyone. Seeing them dart into the valley like agile leopards, he frowned slightly.
“General Qin’s inheritance belongs to the Monster Suppressing Guard. You dare to covet it?”
He snorted coldly, his body like a sharp sword piercing through most of the Blood Flood Dragon Evil Beast horde. His sword light swept out, carving a long sword mark at the valley entrance, his sword qi soaring into the sky.
His figure was tall and straight. Behind him was a Profound Scale Dragon Beast, adorned with shimmering scales and sharp claws. A pair of golden eyes burned like unquenchable lighthouses, staring intently at the four.
“The four from the Beast King Sect, you are not worthy of General Qin’s inheritance.”
His voice was cold and carried a hint of disdain.
He was not born with an Innate Martial Body, but his talent in the Sword Dao was extraordinary. Standing at the valley entrance, he was like an incomparably sharp Precious Sword, his edge deterring anyone from approaching rashly.
“Gu Lingfeng!”
Yuan Yi’s expression turned grim. Gripping the Greedy Wolf Black Corrosion Sword, the Flag Bearer Guard before him was a formidable enemy.
For the four to enter the valley, they had to first pass Gu Lingfeng.
“Whoosh.”
Several black shadows suddenly streaked across the sky above the Blood Flood Dragon Evil Beast horde, like shooting stars, heading straight for Gu Lingfeng.
Their speed was faster than lightning.
Gu Lingfeng swung his sword to strike, as if cutting through golden silk. True Essence combined with his power, and only then did he clang, severing it.
His gaze swept over, and what he had cut were actually black shadow threads as fine as hair. The shadow threads fell to the ground, transforming into a mass of shadows before immediately dissipating.
Gu Lingfeng said coldly, “Sneaking attacks from the shadows, get out here.”
He glanced towards the outside of the valley, beyond the Blood Flood Dragon Evil Beast horde, which was already in chaos.
Suddenly, a blood-red centipede, like a dark cloud, flew in, charging into the Blood Flood Dragon Evil Beast horde. In a single encounter, it swept away hundreds of Blood Flood Dragon Evil Beasts.
Beside it was an ugly, black, ferocious spider with sharp horns on its head. It moved with its spear-like legs, arriving on the battlefield.
It spat out a large amount of shadow threads, instantly binding a large area of Blood Flood Dragon Evil Beasts.
The shadow threads tightened continuously, slicing these Blood Flood Dragon Evil Beasts into small pieces.
A red mist that blotted out the sky descended. Tens of thousands of Fiend Bees and Blood Bees vibrated their sheath wings, which were like blades, emitting a deafening buzzing sound.
The onlookers were shocked and finally saw Su Yan on the Six-Winged Blood Centipede.
His figure was tall and straight, his long robes fluttering. Despite such combat, he appeared completely unfazed.
Gu Nian’s eyes lit up upon seeing the newcomers. Another expert.
Xing Xi Yang’s face immediately turned serious upon seeing Su Yan, as this was the Su Yan often mentioned by the Beast King Sect disciples.
“Roar!”
The Flood Dragon Horned Alligator Dragon, Dragon Python, and Flood Dragon Scale Leopard saw the destruction behind the Blood Flood Dragon Evil Beasts and their ferocious aura intensified, charging towards Su Yan.
At this time, chaos erupted within the Blood Flood Dragon Evil Beast horde. Those surrounding the Nine Peaks Sect and Sword One Sect were divided into one group, while those following the three evil beasts to attack Su Yan formed another group.
“The Beast King Sect certainly puts on a grand display.”
Gu Lingfeng sneered, his eyes filled with a mixture of battle intent and caution.
“Since you have such a grand display, then accept my sword.”
One sword slashes the Flood Dragon!
He tightly gripped the Precious Sword in his hand, its edge sharp and unsullied. A faint roar of a Flood Dragon soul could be heard.
He unleashed a sword strike, its light soaring into the sky, as if an unstoppable Dragon Slaying sword.
“Go.”
Su Yan waved his hand, and the Shadow Horn Spider charged forward. Shadows formed into two sharp spider spears, crisscrossing like shadow dragons, colliding with the sword light.
Light and shadow collided, as if tearing space itself. The surging power sent countless Blood Flood Dragon Evil Beasts flying.
Despite being an unstoppable attack, it was steadily blocked by the Shadow Horn Spider.
Shadow threads crisscrossed in front of it, forming several enormous spider webs within a hundred-zhang radius, chilling those who saw them.
What a powerful Contracted Beast.
The Monster Suppressing Guard gathered around Gu Lingfeng. Xia Xier’s gaze was fixed on Su Yan, a strange look flashing across her eyes, her thoughts unknown.
Xing Xi Yang and Gu Nian had also escaped the Blood Flood Dragon Evil Beasts and retreated to the side of the valley entrance with their fellow disciples.
The Blood Flood Dragon Evil Beasts gathered like a tide, forming a large mass. The Dragon Python devoured Blood Flood Dragon Evil Beasts with its large maw, continuously recovering its injuries.
“Senior Brother Yuan, come over here.”
Su Yan’s voice fell. Yuan Yi and the others didn’t need further instruction and immediately flew over, moving away from the valley entrance.
Everyone faced each other. Gu Lingfeng’s battle intent had already risen: “I thought Yuan Yi of the Beast King Sect was the real expert, but I didn’t expect you to be the most formidable one.”
“Your sword moves cannot break through the Shadow Horn Spider’s blockade.”
Su Yan’s gaze swept across the scene. He raised his eyes slightly, showing no sign of seriousness.
“Junior Brother, be careful. Xing Xi Yang and Gu Nian are both experts. I suspect they will join forces.”
Yuan Yi lowered his voice, transmitting it as a sound line, secretly warning Su Yan.
No one expected Su Yan to have three such ferocious fierce insects.
They were overwhelmingly sweeping away the Blood Flood Dragon Evil Beasts while simultaneously blocking Gu Lingfeng’s sword moves with ease.
Su Yan merely smiled slightly and looked towards Xing Xi Yang and the others.
*Thump.*
Both Xing Xi Yang and Gu Nian felt as if they were being targeted the moment Su Yan’s gaze fell upon them.
“Nine Peaks Sect, Sword One Sect, Monster Suppressing Guard, and the Blood Flood Dragon Evil Beasts…”
Su Yan’s voice was calm but carried clearly to their ears.
“All of you, attack together. One by one, you are no match for me.”
“Arrogant!”
Xing Xi Yang snorted coldly. The Profound Fire Snake True Intent’s flames flared slightly, but he did not attack directly.
Even if his Profound Fire Snake transformed into a Flood Dragon or a Dragon, it would be difficult to defeat the three strange beasts and the swarm of bees and insects filling the sky.
‘Monster, are these three strange beasts truly his own?’
It wasn’t just Xing Xi Yang who doubted; even Zhao Yuan and Ren Fan Zhi from the Monster Suppressing Guard suspected that Su Yan was using these means to enter and specifically seize General Qin’s inheritance.
“What, are you afraid?”
Su Yan’s tone was dismissive, directly provoking them with his words.
Since everyone was gathered here, resolving the problem once and for all was the best course of action.
“As you wish.”
Gu Lingfeng flew forward like a drawn sword, unleashing eighteen sword lights in an instant.
Each one emitted a dragon’s roar, fierce and cold, all imbued with Dragon Slaying sword intent.
The Shadow Horn Spider’s myriad shadow threads entangled them. The fine threads, like arrows, moved with extreme speed, blocking each sword light. Clanging sounds echoed endlessly, like a guqin constantly being plucked.
The Shadow Horn Spider and Gu Lingfeng battled, their figures intertwined. The collision of sword edges and spider spears was a dazzling spectacle.
“Attack!”
Xing Xi Yang summoned a hundred-meter-long Profound Fire Snake. Flames surged, heading straight for Su Yan.
Gu Nian, wielding a Heavy Sword, shot forward like a cannonball towards Su Yan. The Vajra Sword Tiger True Intent was clearly displayed, like a large light bulb.
As Yuan Yi was about to act, Su Yan’s figure had already quietly landed beside him, placing a hand on his shoulder.
“My fellow Senior Brothers and Sisters, you don’t need to intervene.”
As he spoke, another colossal creature covered in carapace appeared before everyone.
The Flame Armored Scorpion’s claws were like shields, its body crimson, and flames continuously blazed. It directly blocked Xing Xi Yang.
“You dare play with fire in front of me!”
The long sword in Xing Xi Yang’s hand emitted a red glow, converging with the power of the Profound Fire Snake True Intent. Flames rained down, like a red cloud falling to the ground.
The Flame Armored Scorpion remained motionless, like a towering mountain. It opened its monstrous maw, and it was like a black hole, swallowing all the sky-burning flame attacks.
The flames were like a tamed dog in front of it, not daring to resist at all.
The remaining sword light flew to its front. It didn’t even move its claws; with a clang, the sword light shattered.
“How is this possible?!”
Xing Xi Yang’s eyes were wide with disbelief. His Innate Martial Body, the Profound Fire Snake, after condensing its True Intent, possessed a mastery of flames that few Dan Qiao True Persons in his sect could match.
But now, the flames he prided himself on were so docile in front of that monster.
“Kill!”
A fierce glint flashed in his eyes, his killing intent revealed. The Fire Snake Sword had turned completely red, like a heated iron bar, and shot towards the Flame Armored Scorpion, which had flashed in front of him.
His sword moves were sharp and ruthless, each strike aimed directly at the Flame Armored Scorpion’s life.
The Flame Armored Scorpion swung its claws, blocking all these sword moves. Its massive body ignited demonic fire and it charged towards Xing Xi Yang, forcing him to lose his footing.
On the other side, Gu Nian had just reached Su Yan when his path was blocked by the Six-Winged Blood Centipede.
One was peerless in physical body, his Heavy Sword strikes heavy and continuous, the other, relying on its carapace, was also a tough opponent.
The man and the insect dueled for dozens of rounds. Gu Nian was gradually gaining the upper hand against the Six-Winged Blood Centipede, and for a time, his Heavy Sword moves were mostly defensive.
These were the top disciples of three factions, all chief disciples, yet Su Yan, by merely deploying three strange beasts, had completely suppressed them.
Although they had not yet been defeated, competing with Contracted Beasts in terms of endurance was a fantasy.
“If this continues, Junior Brother Gu will lose.”
Ping Xiu Jie’s expression was serious. He was an expert from the Sword One Sect. Although not comparable to Gu Nian, how could he not see the current situation?
“Monster Suppressing Guard, Nine Peaks Sect, let’s attack together. Otherwise, only the Beast King Sect will win today.”
Ping Xiu Jie shouted loudly, not bothering to conceal it from Su Yan, his mind made up.
“Good,” Xia Xier decided instantly. “Monster Suppressing Guard will attack from the left.”
“Nine Peaks Sect will attack from the right.”
The three factions immediately reached an agreement. Everyone moved to attack. True Intent Beast Spirits appeared one after another, like feral beasts entering the world. True Essence surged like a tide.
They were using all their means, determined to crush Su Yan here.
Among the Blood Flood Dragon Evil Beasts, including the Flood Dragon Horned Alligator Dragon, Dragon Python, and Flood Dragon Scale Leopard, even they felt the pressure emanating from Su Yan.
“Roar!”
They roared to the sky. Tens of thousands of evil beasts emitted deafening roars, madly attacking Su Yan.
For a time, almost all the monsters and martial artists on the battlefield wanted to fight Su Yan.
“I’ll go deal with the Flood Dragon Scale Leopard and the Sword One Sect.”
Suo Yunyi’s Adam’s apple bobbed, his expression solemn as he gripped the Wood Origin Flood Dragon Head Spear, ready to act.
“I’ll deal with the Nine Peaks Sect.”
“Mingcheng and I will hold off the Monster Suppressing Guard and the Flood Dragon Horned Alligator Dragon.”
The four immediately divided their tasks, all with decisive expressions.
Since they all had to deal with the Beast King Sect, what did they have to fear?
In any case, in the Blood Flood Dragon Secret Realm, in times of life-or-death crisis, they would be teleported out by the Jing Tian Tower. It was merely elimination, not death, so they had no fear.
As the storm was about to break, Su Yan said faintly, “No rush, I still have some tricks up my sleeve.”
*Buzz buzz buzz.*
Tens of thousands of Fiend Bees and Blood Bees surged into the evil beast horde, like a red torrent colliding with a black torrent.
Malevolent energy permeated the entire battlefield. A large number of Blood Flood Dragon Evil Beasts were penetrated by the Fiend Bees and Blood Bees, their flesh and essence blood constantly being gnawed away.
The Heavenly Fiend Mother Locust controlled the malevolent energy, descending upon the beast horde. It immediately found the Dragon Python and swung its Tibial Scythe, unleashing a malevolent energy blade.
The Dragon Python was not weak, but compared to the Heavenly Fiend Mother Locust, it was another matter entirely.
After a few exchanges, its body already bore many deep wounds that exposed bone. Blood continuously gushed out, and malevolent energy penetrated its body from the wounds.
The Flood Dragon Horned Alligator Dragon and Flood Dragon Scale Leopard jointly attacked, but unexpectedly, two streams of malevolent energy transformed into chains and shot towards them. The chains bound their claws, immediately entangling them on the spot.
“Take my sword!”
Ping Xiu Jie seized the opportunity and attacked, reaching within a ten-foot radius of Su Yan. The sword light’s edge was visibly sharp, pressing towards him.
“Ding.”
With a light sound, Ping Xiu Jie’s Upper Second-order Precious Sword was directly cut in half, falling to the ground.
A mass of black shadow emitted a powerful suction. Half of the sword body flew into the black shadow, and the next moment, a crunching sound was heard as the weapon was already half-devoured.
“Damn…”
Before Ping Xiu Jie could even finish saying “damn,” a sword shadow suddenly attacked. Its style was ancient and its edge was sharp, exactly the same as the Bamboo Edge Sword in his hand.
Before he could react, he was instantly pierced by the sword momentum. The Jing Tian Token flashed, taking him away.
The Troop Devouring Ghost Moth appeared, with phantoms of weapons hovering around it. At first glance, there were hundreds, even thousands, of weapon phantoms suspended in mid-air.
