"There are too many beasts, and we can't make too much noise."
Looking at the horde of demonic beasts and the demonic energy that blotted out the sky, the beautiful woman could not help but frown.
Ye Chen also felt troubled. The Horned Dragon Snake was not far behind them. Once they made too much noise, it would definitely notice them. By then, no matter how powerful they were, they would not be able to escape death. Then, they could only use their Separating Shadow Flying Art.
Without much hesitation, Ye Chen reached out his hand and grabbed the lady's slim hand. His body shook a little, and a series of zhen Qi shadows appeared in the air. His real body had already carried the lady and rushed out. His speed was not that fast, but he was like a fish swimming in the water, avoiding the beasts' encirclement.
"You!" The lady subconsciously wanted to take back her hand, but she realized that Ye Chen was performing a special flying art, so she gave up. She used her zhen Qi to talk to Ye Chen, "Although this flying art is special and can create zhen qi shadows, it can also attract the attention of the surrounding beasts. You should know that some of the beasts can see through you."
Ye Chen said, "How would you know if you don't try?"
Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!
The two's silhouettes flickered in and out of existence. A lot of low-ranked beasts were dazzled and bumped into each other.
Shoo!
Right at this moment, a slender object swept over with a speed as fast as a spark.
"Watch out!" The lady held her breath. She was not unfamiliar with that long and thin object. It was the tongue of the top rank six beast, the Three-eyed Toad. The Three-eyed Toad's third eye could see through reality. As long as one's cultivation level was not too much higher than its own, no matter how many tricks one used, one would not be able to fool it.
The tongue that was covered in barbs was too fast. The moment the lady's voice was heard, the tongue had already wrapped around the two's bodies and slightly tightened.
Swoosh!
The two's bodies were torn apart, but they were zhen Qi shadows.
The lady was surprised, "How did you avoid it?"
Ye Chen said, "As long as the speed of the tongue is not faster than my reaction speed, I have a way to avoid it. You do not have to worry about that."
"Hehe, you really don't want to consider joining our Moon Pavilion?" The lady tried to persuade Ye Chen to join their organization.
"Let's get out of here first!"
Ye Chen had consumed a lot of his True Qi shadows, after all, these shadows needed True Qi to maintain, and in a short period of time, he had already lost dozens of True Qi shadows.
Shoving a pill into his mouth that could instantly replenish his Zhen Qi, Ye Chen increased the output of his Zhen Qi, pushing his speed to the limit that he could reach.
Xiu!
With the help of the Zhen Qi shadows, the two of them passed through the dense Demonic Qi and arrived at the edge of the beast tide.
"We've finally escaped." The beautiful woman took a deep breath.
Ye Chen had no intention of letting go of her hand. He took her and flew towards the nearby mountains.
The beautiful woman said with a smile that was not a smile, "Little brat, we have already escaped from the encirclement. How long are you going to hold my hand? Although I don't mind."
Ye Chen said calmly, "If you want to die, you can let go."
"What do you mean?"
The beautiful woman knew that Ye Chen would not speak without thinking.
"It's simple. We have been targeted by the Horn Dragon Snake. Luckily, it did not catch up." The Horn Dragon Snake was a rank 7 beast. Speed was not its specialty, but for it to chase after two Clasping Yuan Realm warriors, it was as easy as drinking water.
"I guess it did not want to chase after two small fries like us." The beautiful woman indeed did not dare to let go of her hand. Without Ye Chen's Separating Shadow Flying Art, it was very likely that she would die. After all, she had seen how Ye Chen had brought her out of the encirclement with her own eyes.
Among the beasts …
The Horn Dragon Snake's upper body stood straight up like a sky pillar. A pair of cold eyes pierced through the Demonic Qi, locking onto Ye Chen and the beautiful woman who were in the distance. Just like the beautiful woman had said, as a rank 7 beast, it did not want to chase after the two personally. All it needed to do was let out a beam of Demonic Qi.
It opened its huge mouth, and an endless amount of Demonic Qi gathered. The Horn Dragon Snake shot out a pitch-black light column, which broke through the Demonic Qi blockade within a second and appeared miles away.
Ye Chen was as calm as still water as he yelled with a low voice.
"Explode!"
The two's bodies suddenly exploded, and a huge amount of afterimages shot out in all directions.
Pooh!
More than eighty percent of the afterimages did not manage to escape the attack range of the pitch-black light column, and they all disappeared within a second. The power of the pitch-black light column did not decrease at all, and it even pierced through a steep mountain that was even further away.
Amidst the layers of mountains.
Because of the beast wave, there were no more beasts in the places where the beasts used to gather.
Wah!
Ye Chen could not help but puke out a mouthful of blood anymore. His body started to wobble.
Grabbing Ye Chen's arm, the beautiful woman brought him down onto the rugged mountain road.
"You are wounded!" The beautiful woman was still shocked before, but now she knew what kind of price she had to pay to perform that attack.
Shoving an expensive healing pellet that was worth tens of thousands of gold into his mouth, Ye Chen sat on the ground with his legs crossed, and said with a pale face, "Three Zhen Qi afterimages is my normal limit. Five Zhen Qi afterimages will make my Zhen Qi chaotic. Just now, I had used so many Zhen Qi afterimages at once, and my meridians and internal organs were injured quite badly. Help me protect me, I need to adjust my condition first."
"Alright, aren't you afraid that I will hurt you?"
Ye Chen said, "You can try."
"Never mind, you are so calm. You must have a backup plan." The beautiful woman shook her head. She had not known Ye Chen for long, and no matter what kind of danger he had encountered, she had never seen him panic. With her experience, she naturally knew that Ye Chen was not someone to be messed with. Plotting against him would be extremely difficult, not to mention that she had never really thought about killing him for money.
Closing his eyes, Ye Chen quickly entered the healing state.
Two hours later …
Ye Chen let out a breath that had a slight smell of blood, and slowly stood up.
"This is not a good place to stay. Let's go to the big city."
The beautiful woman nodded, "During the beast wave, there will be endless amounts of beasts coming. This time, it will not be a simple small beast wave."
Shoo! Shoo!
The two of them used their Qing Gong and flew far away.
…
Not long after the two of them left, two human figures appeared in the Iron City that had been razed to the ground.
"Sigh, we are late!"
"Including the Iron City, there are already twenty cities that have been destroyed. The death toll is over thirty million."
"Judging from the degree of destruction in the cities, there should be a Rank 7 beast that passed by. Luckily, there were no Rank 8 beasts. Otherwise, even some medium sized cities would not be able to hold on."
"A small beast wave will not have many Rank 7 beasts. This time, it is a special case. There were more than ten Rank 7 beasts."
"There is no sign of a beast wave, and those martial institutions that are too far away have not received the news yet. We will have to be busy and kill this Rank 7 beast first!"
"Yeah! It doesn't matter if we are busy. "
The two of them flashed and disappeared. Their speed was much faster than the Great Master of the Alchemist Martial School.
…
During the beast wave, there would be no safe zone within ten thousand miles. Usually, the moment one got out of danger, another group of beasts would arrive.
"Arc Cut!"
After killing a Rank 6 beast, the beautiful woman forced a smile, "Going through dozens of battles in one day … I am afraid we will be exhausted to death before we even reach the big cities."
Ye Chen did not say anything. In the past couple of days, they did not dare to fly in the sky, since it would be too obvious. It might even attract the top rank 6 beasts and Rank 7 beasts. However, their traveling speed was extremely slow. On average, they could only travel one to two thousand miles a day, and it was still not completely safe. They would be discovered by small groups of beasts from time to time.
"In a couple of days, when the Astral Reaching Realm warriors from other areas arrive, the situation should be much better."
The beautiful woman said, "Indeed, the beast wave had happened too suddenly. If there had been a sign, then there would not have been so many deaths."
On their way, countless villages and towns had been ravaged by the beasts. The smell of blood was everywhere, making it look like hell on earth.
Ye Chen sighed slightly. Before, he had tried so hard to bring people from three villages to the Iron City, but they still could not escape death. In front of the beast wave, warriors below the Clasping Yuan Realm would not be able to protect themselves at all. Once they were surrounded by a huge amount of beasts, even Clasping Yuan Realm warriors would not be able to escape. According to the beautiful woman's analysis, this was only a small beast wave with a lot of rank 7 beasts. A medium beast wave would be ten times bigger than a small one, with a lot of rank 8 beasts and even rank 9 beasts.
Moo!
A demonic cow with wings on its back dove towards Ye Chen. That powerful beast Qi had shaken up the air, bringing up patterns everywhere.
"Lone Peak Kill!"
Facing the beast's attack, Ye Chen looked normal as he stabbed out a sword attack.
The beast could feel the power of that sword attack and was about to dodge it. But then, it realized that no matter how hard it tried, it would not be able to get out of the attacking range of that sword attack. It was like Ye Chen was standing on top of a tall mountain. With the height of the mountain, that sword attack was filled with killing intent.
Swoosh!
A sword hole appeared on its forehead. The beast's body shook a little before it fell down.
The beautiful woman's eyes lit up, "I don't remember you performing this attack before. It is not that powerful, but it would still be hard for me to dodge it."
"I just learned it." Ye Chen said vaguely.
The Lone Peak Kill was actually a combination of the seven movements of the Lone Peak Thirteen Swords. It was a combined sword movement. A long time ago, he had tried to combine sword movements, but he realized that the rank of the Sky Cloud Sword Art was too high. With his current cultivation and knowledge, he would not be able to combine it. Therefore, he had to start with the top rank Mortal Realm sword art, the Lone Peak Thirteen Swords.
Before the beast wave, he had only combined four movements of the Lone Peak Kill. Its power was only about the same as the last third movement of the Sky Cloud Sword Art, which was not that powerful. In the past couple of days of killing, he had killed thousands of beasts. Finally, he had combined three sword movements again. His power had instantly surpassed the Sky Cloud Sword Art, and was only weaker than the One Sword Attack, which consumed his mind power. Compared to the One Sword Attack's extreme speed and high attacking power, the Lone Peak Kill's poetic perspective was even higher, and it complemented his entry level sword intent.
As for why, Ye Chen knew it very well. When he first learned the sword intent, it was actually because of the poetic perspective of the Lone Peak Thirteen Swords. Therefore, the sword intent and the poetic perspective of the Lone Peak Thirteen Swords were more or less related.
"As long as I combine the Lone Peak Thirteen Swords into one movement, its power would definitely be more powerful than the One Sword Attack. But of course, it would only be temporary. The One Sword Attack would improve along with my cultivation, and its power would increase as well. Sooner or later, it would surpass the One Sword Attack." Killing beasts after beasts, Ye Chen thought to himself.
Swoosh!
Another mid-level Level Six Demonic Beast was assassinated without the slightest bit of resistance.
