"Weird! Let's back off a bit first. "
Carrying the battle boar, the axman took dozens of steps back and jumped onto a high ground. He then hid behind a huge rock, staring at the pile of rocks without blinking.
Boom!
The blue light exploded. Hundreds of rocks were blown away like they were caught in a terrifying storm, shooting out in all directions.
"Danger!"
The axman's face was pale. He dropped the battle boar and lied on the ground.
The high ground looked like it had been hit by an earthquake, shaking violently. Looking from the cave, one could see that the high ground was full of holes, not much better than a hornet's nest. The only reason it was still standing was because of the huge amount of iron minerals that no one had discovered before.
After a long time, the axman crawled up from the ground. Looking at the high ground that was full of cracks, he could not help but be shocked. He subconsciously looked at the pile of rocks.
The pile of rocks had disappeared, and what appeared in his sight was a pitch black cave. The air outside the cave was like a wave.
Pap! Pap! Pap! Pap!
Footsteps were heard, and a human figure walked out slowly.
"Finally reached the tenth level of the Mysterious Great Art. The zhen qi quality is indeed different." The human figure was indeed Ye Chen. He had been training in the cave, and had finally reached the tenth level of the Mysterious Great Art. The tenth level of the Mysterious zhen qi was extremely powerful, much more powerful than the ninth level. Ye Chen started to wonder if the Mysterious Great Art was really a mid-rank Earth Realm martial art. Why was it so much more powerful than normal mid-rank Earth Realm martial arts? Even the best ones should not have this kind of zhen qi quality.
Waving his hand, the pile of rocks on the ground were all shattered into dust. Ye Chen looked at the axman, "Did I hurt you just now?"
There was actually someone training in there. This person must be very powerful.
The axman stuttered, "No … no … I am sorry for disturbing your training. I will leave now, please don't kill me." Even though Woodcutter hadn't gone out to wander before, he had heard from some passing practitioners that high level practitioners were most afraid of people disturbing their cultivation. Once they were provoked, they would kill at the slightest provocation without mercy. The other party had a friendly expression, so it couldn't be a sign that he was about to kill someone, right?
Ye Chen smiled. "If it was a few days ago, I might have been very angry. Now, it doesn't count as disturbing me." Ye Chen wasn't joking. A few days ago was his opportunity to break through. If he was interrupted, he wouldn't kill anyone, but he would definitely be angry. As for the consequences of being angry, he didn't know.
"Oh! That's good. "The woodcutter patted his chest and broke out in cold sweat.
"By the way, are you a woodcutter nearby?"
The woodcutter nodded. "My house is in Huaiyang Village, which is more than 20 miles away. It's not far from here. Usually, when I have nothing to do, I come here to hunt and share the meat with the villagers."
"Give it to the villagers!" Ye Chen smiled. He could tell that the axman was at the Peak of Mortal Realm Stage 8. If he was outside, he would only be a commoner, but in a remote village, he would be considered as a powerful warrior. Not everyone had the opportunity to practice martial arts.
"I'm about to go down the mountain, let's go together!"
In a flash, Ye Chen appeared on the mountain path.
"Alright, wait for me."
Carrying the Red Eye Battle Boar, the woodcutter ran as fast as he could, following closely behind Ye Chen. To be able to talk to a powerful warrior, even if it was just walking with him was already a rare thing. If the villagers knew about this, they would definitely worship him even more. After all, the most powerful warrior the villagers had ever seen was only a Mid Condensing Reality Realm warrior. Judging from his Qi, he was not even one-tenth as powerful as Ye Chen.
The mountain was not very high, and the two soon reached the foot of the mountain.
Ye Chen was about to leave, but he suddenly frowned.
"What's wrong?" The woodcutter was a bit worried. He knew that Ye Chen was about to leave.
Ye Chen said seriously, "A very strong demonic Qi, covering the sky and the ground. It doesn't look like a single beast, but more like a lot of beasts gathered together!"
"A lot of beasts?" The woodcutter froze for a second, then said in shock, "Isn't that a beast wave? Is there really going to be a beast wave this winter? "
Ye Chen looked at him, "Do you know what's going on?"
The woodcutter shook his head, then nodded, "Two months ago, a warrior who was passing by told me that there would be a lot of beasts this winter. He told me to go to the city as soon as possible, or else I would lose my life. At that time, I thought he was joking. There hasn't been a beast wave in the past three hundred years, how could it happen now?"
"He was right, the beast wave is really coming."
Ye Chen looked up at the sky. The clear sky had started to darken, and there was a gray Qi flow hovering above, forming huge dark clouds, covering the sky and moving towards them at an extremely fast speed. That horrifying aura even shocked Ye Chen.
"Not good, there are only normal people in the village, I have to go inform them now."
"You are too slow, let me give you a ride."
Grabbing the woodcutter's shoulder with his right hand, Ye Chen extended his body and flew out like a huge bird, he said, "Point me in the right direction."
"Thank you, this way." The woodcutter was very grateful. Ye Chen was obviously a top rank warrior, but he did not have any arrogance at all, which was completely different from what he remembered of top rank warriors.
Ye Chen did not think too much about it. After coming to this world, he had already learned about the rule of power. But, he still had the mark of that world in his bones. If he ran into someone who needed help, and he had the power, he would not reject it. Otherwise, what would be the point of being a powerful warrior?
Ye Chen's speed was extremely fast, and within dozens of blinks, he had already traveled dozens of miles.
"Yeah! There are a lot of beasts in the sky. "
The beast wave was something that happened quite often in this true spirit continent. As for why it would happen, no one knew for sure. All they knew was that at a certain time, the beasts in a certain place would go crazy and start to attack the places where humans lived. The beasts that were closest to the place would undoubtedly arrive the fastest, especially the flying beasts. They were the ones that killed the most people in the early stages.
"They are coming."
The woodcutter raised his head to take a look. Not far away, the sky was covered in darkness. Among them were Class 3 demonic beasts, Red Smelting Bird, Blood Crow, Flamingo, Class 4 demonic beasts, Twin-Headed Bird, Four-Clawed Eagle, Flying Lizard, Class 5 demonic beasts, Ghost Head Eagle, Winged Wolf. There were too many of them. Any one of the flying demonic beasts could tear him into pieces.
"Tornado Broken Clouds!"
The Star Scar Sword appeared in his hand as Ye Chen threw out a sword attack towards the place with the most flying beasts.
The next second!
The tornado mixed with Zhen Qi swept over with a whistling sound, and the Sword Qi shot out. It didn't matter if it was the third grade flying demon beasts, the fourth grade flying demon beasts, or the fifth grade flying demon beasts, all of them fell from the sky one after another. It was as if a black rainstorm had fallen.
"He killed dozens of flying beasts with one sword attack!"
The woodcutter's eyes were wide open. He thought that Ye Chen was only at Early Clasping Yuan Realm, and would be able to compete with normal rank 5 beasts. But now, it seemed like even rank 6 beasts would not be able to compete with him. Plus, he looked so young, about the same age as his nephew.
Actually, he had guessed it right. Ye Chen's cultivation had not improved that much, but with the entry level sword intent, plus the tenth level of the Great Mysterious Art, Ye Chen's attacking power was already almost the same as the older Late Clasping Yuan Realm warriors. Right now, if Mr. Jin or Yuan Zongbo were to fight against him alone, he would have seventy percent chance to wound them badly, and twenty percent chance to kill them completely.
Roar!
A huge beast with wings on its back and eagle claws dove towards the two. Its speed soon surpassed the speed of sound, which was even faster than Ye Chen.
"Not good! It is a rank 6 beast, the Eagle Tiger Beast!" In the city, one could buy a beginner beast book with one hundred gold, which included all the beasts from rank 1 to 6. The Eagle Tiger Beast was one of them, and its power could be ranked in the top one hundred. The woodcutter had bought one before and kept it in his house.
Ye Chen did not care too much about it. Compared to the Wind Wolf, this Eagle Tiger Beast was way too weak. Judging from its qi, it was just like a normal Late Clasping Yuan Realm warrior.
"[Shocking Cloud]!"
With a sword attack, a thunderous sound was heard.
Swoosh!
The Eagle Tiger Beast came fast, but it died fast as well. Its head had been cut in half by the sword Qi.
"It was killed just like that."
The woodcutter's mouth was wide open.
Soon, the two arrived at the village.
"The beast wave is coming! Everyone, go to the city!" After landing on the ground, the woodcutter yelled out with all of his strength.
"What? The beast wave is coming?"
"How is this possible? We haven't had a beast wave for three hundred years. Brother Gao, are you kidding me? "
"Yeah, although you are the no.1 warrior in our village, you can't scare us like that."
Hearing them, most of the energetic young men did not believe it.
With one sword attack, Ye Chen cracked the small hill outside of the village, and said with a cold voice: "If you don't want to die, go to the city. You won't be able to leave even if you want to."
"A high-level warrior?" The villagers who ran out of their houses were shocked.
The village head was an old man with white hair. He yelled: "A high-level warrior would not lie to us. Everyone, go to the city now. Don't bring anything with you, just bring some food and valuables."
The villagers screamed and ran back to their houses to pack their belongings. All of a sudden, the sound of shouting, crying, and rummaging made the atmosphere even heavier.
Standing on top of the village wall, Ye Chen frowned.
In the distance, a black mass of flying beasts was approaching. There were a lot of them, and with his power alone, he would not be able to protect all of them. Plus, these were only some of the beasts in the early stages of the beast wave. The longer it dragged on, the more beasts there would be. By then, the number would not be calculated by thousands, but by tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions. A village and a town would not be able to handle it. Only a huge city could hold on for a while. As for how long it could last, it would depend on whether it was a small beast wave or a medium one. Normally, there would not be rank 7 beasts appearing in a small beast wave, while a medium beast wave would send out rank 7 beasts one by one. Only Astral Reaching Realm warriors would be able to handle it.
As for the large beast wave, Ye Chen did not even dare to think about it, because once it happened, even the royal city might not be able to handle it. Then, it would be a real disaster for humanity.
Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!
Shoving three zhen qi replenishing pellets into his mouth, Ye Chen held his Star Scar Sword with both of his hands, performing his Tornado Broken Clouds a couple of times.
Countless tornadoes were created, attacking towards the flying beasts in the distance.
Swoosh!
The flying beasts fell down one after another, clearing up the sky. Most of the beasts that had gathered here were from the mountains or the forests nearby, so there were not many of them.
Under the lead of the village head, the villagers who had packed up their belongings started to head east. Hundreds of miles away, there was a small city called the Iron City.
