The attack of the beast tide was getting fiercer and fiercer. Even though the Wind Mercenaries were much stronger than these spirit beasts, they were still having a hard time holding on.
"It should be over in two more hours!" Xu Qian had already taken a turn, but with his cultivation, he naturally wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
Ever since Night As Fire took his turn last time, he was like a battle maniac, unwilling to come down no matter what. At this moment, his eyes were glaring angrily. His bloodless Grade Four spirit weapon was already dripping with blood, but he still swung it in all kinds of ways. One after another, the spirit beasts charging in front of him were split in half, and then directly sent flying.
Su Yun looked at Night As Fire and couldn't help but shake his head. If he continued like this, it would be extremely easy for him to go berserk.
Huang Zhan, Chen Ling, and the others were still normal. Occasionally, they would take turns to block for a while, but after feeling the strain, they consciously retreated.
The spirit beasts and the Wind Mercenaries were both in a deadlock. Although it was extremely tragic, there were no signs of serious injuries or deaths.
Su Yun killed the Grade Four Reiki in front of him with one strike, and then flew back. Immediately, someone stepped forward to fill the gap.
In the beast tide, Wu Ming and the Purple Lightning Lion broke out in battle after a long stalemate.
Su Yun looked up while recovering his spirit energy. With the naked eye, he could only see two rays of light shuttling back and forth in the beast tide. Occasionally, they would pass by each other, creating layers of violent spirit energy ripples.
In his spiritual sense, although the area where Wu Ming and the Purple Lightning Lion were fighting was in the beast tide, no other low-level spirit beasts dared to approach.
The crimson sword in Wu Ming's hand emitted a cold light. The Purple Lightning Lion no longer retreated blindly, but instead faced Wu Ming directly with its beastly eyes.
In his spiritual sense, the Purple Lightning Lion was purple all over, its stripes were a fluorescent dark yellow, and its eyes emitted a strange light.
"This guy, I'm afraid his potential is not small." In Su Yun's opinion, the Purple Lightning Lion was definitely a middle-level spirit beast. If it had enough time, it would definitely reach Grade Eight or above.
"There should be a Tier 5 Reiki!" Su Yun secretly felt that it was a pity. The Purple Lightning Lion Leopard's Reiki was certainly different from the Reiki of ordinary Rank Five spirit beasts, but it was impossible to keep it here.
"I've gained quite a lot from this wave of spirit beasts." Su Yun comforted himself.
Under such a crazy atmosphere, the Purple Lightning Lion was obviously very excited. However, it had some intelligence and was able to suppress it for a short period of time. But now that it had been exposed, it did not suppress itself anymore.
As he bowed, waves of air rippled out around him. In an instant, his body moved like lightning, drawing a beautiful arc in the air as he pounced toward Wu Ming.
There was a serious look in Wu Ming's eyes. He was stronger than the Purple Lightning Lion Leopard, but he was unable to completely suppress it. In fact, if he was slightly careless, it could seize the opportunity to counterattack.
Therefore, Wu Ming was not prepared to fight it head-on. Although Wu Ming also coveted the Purple Lightning Lion Leopard's Reiki, he still prioritized safety. This was the first day he entered Lin Yuan during the beast tide. There would be plenty of opportunities to collect the Reiki in the future.
The crimson longsword in Wu Ming's hand instantly swung out several bolts of light. His body had already turned and dodged the attack.
"Boom …" The deafening sound of the collision could be clearly heard by Su Yun and the rest.
However, the Purple Lightning Lion Leopard's body only paused for a moment. Its momentum was still as fierce as ever.
The unscathed Purple Lightning Lion Leopard sensed that Wu Ming was no longer at his original spot. It immediately stretched out its front paw and bent it slightly, landing steadily on the ground. Then, it nimbly turned its body, and its beastly eyes emitting a purple glow stared unwaveringly at Wu Ming, who was not far away.
Su Yun turned his head. Wu Ming could totally handle it. On the other hand, under the attack of the beast tide, some people were already starting to get injured.
"Bang …" With a muffled sound, Su Yun turned his gaze and saw that Night As Fire was hit by a fifth-grade spirit beast and fell heavily to the ground.
Su Yun's eyes were sharp and his hands were fast. He immediately activated the Ink Cloud Crane Soaring Sky. His figure flashed, and a gentle spirit energy quickly shot out. Ye Ru Huo's figure suddenly stopped at the moment he was about to land on the ground, preventing him from being covered in dust.
"Thanks," Night As Fire had a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. He turned over and stood up, grinning at Su Yun.
Su Yun smiled and shook his head. This guy …
"Go and rest for a while. If you work too hard, it will only backfire." After Su Yun finished speaking, he flew up and replaced Ye Ru Huo's empty spot.
It was a fifth-grade spirit beast, but it was probably much weaker than the Purple Lightning Lion.
The Heaven Seizing Sword let out an excited sword hum. Su Yun's spiritual energy involuntarily increased by a bit.
"Chi …" Blood splattered everywhere.
A fifth-grade spirit beast was killed in one strike!
Yang Yi and Feng Muren on the side looked over with strange expressions. Even Su Yun himself was a little confused.
When did he become so powerful?!
The fifth-grade spirit beast was cut in half by the sword. Its corpse fell into the beast tide and was directly eaten by the excited spirit beasts.
There was no Reiki!
Although Feng Muren and Yang Yi were a little confused, they could accept it. Although all fifth-grade spirit beasts, big or small, could condense Reiki, it wasn't strange to occasionally encounter one that didn't.
But in Su Yun's eyes, it was different.
The moment he cut the fifth-grade spirit beast, Su Yun clearly felt Reiki's aura! Why didn't he see it later?!
Su Yun remembered that time in the past when the Heaven Seizing Sword was also used, the spirit beast's Reiki mysteriously disappeared.
He smiled helplessly. From the moment he entered Lin Yuan, Su Yun felt the strangeness of the Heaven Seizing Sword. Now, it was confirmed.
Feeling the others' gazes, Su Yun shrugged helplessly. This was purely an accident.
Under the attack of the beast tide, everyone had little free time. So after a glance, everyone began to focus on dealing with the spirit beasts.
In the beast tide, there would occasionally be a loud explosion. That was the sound of Wu Ming and the Purple Lightning Lion's battle.
Wu Ming was skillful, but he couldn't completely defeat the Purple Lightning Lion.
"It's almost dawn …" Su Yun looked at the faintly discernible white on the horizon and muttered.
The excitement of the beast tide had gradually disappeared and was replaced by a kind of exhaustion.
Many spirit beasts had already quietly hidden their tracks. The pressure was gradually decreasing!
The Gale Mercenaries were invigorated. If there was a wave of counterattacks now, the results of the battle would be greatly increased!
However, the Gale Mercenaries were very organized. Without orders from above, they wouldn't act rashly.
The Purple Lightning Lion was no longer in the mood to continue fighting and retreated. Wu Ming knew that he couldn't keep it, so he didn't pursue and attack.
Not long after, the Purple Lightning Lion turned and sprinted into the forest like lightning.
With such a strong spirit beast leading the way, the other spirit beasts also didn't have the intention to continue attacking and retreated like the tide.
Seeing the spirit beasts start to retreat, Wu Ming also secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
Yang Yi came to Wu Ming's side at some point and said as he looked at the spirit beasts that were gradually disappearing, "Should we counterattack?"
"Our brothers are also tired. If anyone still has the ability to chase, go ahead. But you must not chase beyond three miles!" Wu Ming said, "The rest of you, clean up the battlefield. The harvest from this night is probably equivalent to two days of work. "
Wu Ming smiled. Even Yang Yi couldn't understand the meaning behind that smile.
Yang Yi turned and walked over to convey Wu Ming's message. As expected, there were still a few energetic fellows who excitedly rushed out.
Night As Fire had rested for so long. When he heard the news, he also rushed out without hesitation.
Huang Zhan's cultivation was only at the late stage of the Spirit Master Realm. Although he wanted to, he didn't have the strength. He could only obediently stay here and clean up the battlefield.
Su Yun wasn't very interested in the Reiki of these low-level spirit beasts. Last night, he had obtained four fifth-grade Reiki! He was quite satisfied with this harvest.
The sky was already bright. This area was a mess. Various spirit beasts' limbs were scattered all over the ground. The Reiki of the dead spirit beasts hadn't been taken off yet.
In the Gale Mercenary Group, there were more than ten injured and one seriously injured. Huang Zhan, Xu Qian, and the others were relatively weak. They didn't fight for long, so they didn't suffer any serious injuries.
After a short rest, everyone started to get busy again.
Among the spirit beasts' corpses, there were many Reiki. Although some of the corpses had already been eaten by other spirit beasts, the remaining corpses were still very impressive.
Su Yun didn't go to collect the Reiki. Instead, he sat down cross-legged and recovered his spiritual power.
Last night, the Heaven-Seizing Sword automatically swallowed two fifth-grade Reiki. As a result, Su Yun didn't dare to use the Heaven-Seizing Sword to kill the remaining fifth-grade spirit beasts.
"Yixie! Did you do it? "Su Yun asked in his mind.
After a while, there was a reply.
"It's just a fifth-grade Reiki. How can it catch my eye?" Su Yun couldn't help but roll his eyes at the arrogance and domineering attitude.
He still remembered that the weak Yixie was interested in all kinds of ores at that time. Now that he had recovered some of his strength, his tone became more arrogant.
"Then what's going on?" Su Yun asked after criticizing for a while.
"I'm just a sword spirit. Although I was born from the Heaven-Seizing Sword, it doesn't mean that I'm it. Therefore, there are some things that I don't understand." Yixie's words were filled with helplessness. As a sword spirit, he couldn't even fully understand the sword he resided in. It had to be said that this was a kind of tragedy.
Su Yun was also speechless. "There's something that you don't know?"
"Maybe …" Yixie seemed to have thought of something. He said carefully, "Maybe this godly material has a little consciousness."
Yixie was just guessing. After all, he was a sword spirit. Most likely, he existed because of the Sword Venerable. Therefore, he still had some blind spots when it came to the Heaven-Seizing Sword.
"A godly sword with two sword spirits!" Su Yun exclaimed in surprise.
This, however, was a little strange.
"That's not it …" Yixie said, "It's just an instinct. After all, what this sword went through at that time stimulated it to have some instincts. It's not strange."
"Instincts …" Su Yun was speechless. This sword actually instinctively absorbed the powerful Reiki!
Although it could also unleash extraordinary combat power if it encountered a powerful spirit beast, it was not worth it no matter how one looked at it.
