This saint beast was more than ten meters long and five meters tall. Its golden fur bore a striking resemblance to the Crimsonfrons White Tiger. Even before making a move, one could already feel the overwhelming stench of blood emanating from it.
The saint beasts that they had encountered previously were all of high tier, but they lacked combat experience. However, the one before them was clearly different. Killing intent emanated from its body, and wariness could be seen in its eyes. With a single look, it was clear that it had killed quite a few saint beasts.
To become the ruler of a power, one had to rely on battle, not words.
"You sure are gutsy to dare wreak havoc in my territory!"
Yun Hu's voice rang as he surveyed the surroundings.
He was actually speaking the human tongue!
It had been several dozen millenniums since a human had appeared in the Temple of Confucius. As such, the Goldface Skywolf and Crimsonfrons White Tiger had only communicated with one another in the beastly language.
Yet, this fellow was actually able to speak the human tongue … Even Zhang Xuan was perplexed by this sight.
"Let's not waste our words with him. Set up the formation!"
Wu Changping bellowed with a darkened face.
The fact that the Cloudtiger was able to speak the human tongue meant that it had a deep understanding of the human race. It was likely that the Cloudtiger had already prepared its defenses in advance.
Hula!
The few of them raised their weapons at the same time, surrounding Yun Hu in the middle. Everyone's aura seemed to have a subtle connection, as though they were connected by a thin thread. With one look, it was clear that not only did they form a formation, but they also used some kind of powerful Dharma treasure.
It was no wonder they had not allowed Zhang Xuan to follow them. They had already made preparations beforehand, and they were unwilling to let anyone snatch the fruits of their victory.
"Courting death!"
Paying no heed to the other party's preparations, the Goldspirit Cloudtiger roared coldly. With a loud roar, its massive body charged toward one of the middle-aged men.
From the looks of it, it knew that the other party had set up a formation to take them down one by one.
Weng!
Before the claw could even reach the middle-aged man, a burst of light suddenly burst forth from the middle-aged man's body. Powerful energy flowed into his body through the thin threads in the surroundings.
Feeling the surge of energy, the middle-aged man raised his saber and slashed it down.
As if space was being torn apart, the saber qi gathered together to form a massive saber silhouette in the sky.
Boom!
The claw collided with the saber silhouette, and the Goldspirit Cloudtiger was forced to retreat a step.
"To be able to gather everyone's strength into a single person …"
Zhang Xuan secretly nodded.
The middle-aged man wouldn't be able to block Yun Hu's attack alone, but with the help of the thread and everyone's strength, things would be different.
Within a short period of time, his fighting prowess had surpassed that of a Sempiternal realm consummation cultivator. Despite Yun Hu's strength, he was still unable to breach his defenses.
"It seems like it's a Great Sage artifact!"
The fact that the artifact was able to withstand the power of so many people and unleash it so smoothly meant that it was at least a Great Sage artifact.
Even though it couldn't compare to the Dragonbone Divine Spear, it wasn't any weaker than Wu Shu's golden saber.
"It's no wonder why you dare to look for me. Looks like you have some tricks up your sleeves …"
The Goldspirit Cloudtiger harrumphed coldly. However, it didn't panic at all. Instead, it whipped its thick tail furiously.
The attack power of the tail was even more ferocious than the claws. Like a weapon, it instantly broke through the limit of time and appeared before the middle-aged man once again.
The middle-aged man raised his saber.
Bang!
The saber and the tail clashed, and the middle-aged man's face paled as he took a few steps back.
However, the Goldspirit Cloudtiger didn't give him any time to catch his breath.
If one didn't know the structure and flaws of a powerful collaborative formation, the most effective way to overcome it would be to grab hold of one of the opponents and launch consecutive attacks. The Goldspirit Cloudtiger clearly knew this.
"This move isn't working …"
Seeing Yun Hu's swift and powerful movements, Zhang Xuan shook his head. The middle-aged man knew that he wouldn't be able to withstand it.
If a Great Sage artifact could be overcome so easily, there wouldn't be so many people going crazy over it.
As expected, before Zhang Xuan could finish his words, Wu Changping flicked his wrist and made a hand gesture.
Huala!
In the blink of an eye, the thin thread in the air shrank, and a powerful burst of energy burst forth from the crowd, strengthening the thread even further.
"Shoot!"
Zhang Xuan commanded, and the weapons in the crowd's hands flew toward the Goldspirit Cloudtiger along the thin thread.
"Roar!"
Not expecting the other party's artifact to have such an effect, the Goldspirit Cloudtiger was taken aback. It quickly turned around, raised its massive head, and roared furiously.
Huala!
Innumerable golden sword qi burst forth from its mouth, piercing toward the thin thread.
"To be able to shoot out sword qi, this saint beast sure is talented!"
Zhang Xuan's eyes lit up in excitement.
He had thought that the Goldspirit Cloudtiger would be captured obediently, but who could have thought that it would be able to shoot out sword qi with offensive prowess comparable to that of a human? Even if Wu Changping and the others had Great Sage artifacts, it would still be difficult for them to defeat it.
"The Goldspirit Cloudtiger specializes in metal attribute offense. Do you think that we haven't studied it before? This is exactly what we have been waiting for! "
Wu Changping replied calmly. With a light chuckle, he tapped his finger lightly.
Tzla!
In the blink of an eye, the thin thread in the air changed color, becoming as dazzling as lava.
Huala!
The zhenqi that the crowd infused into the Goldspirit Cloudtiger immediately burst into flames, as if gasoline meeting fire.
In an instant, a blazing net of flames appeared in the air, shrouding the Goldspirit Cloudtiger completely.
"They are indeed well-prepared. The Goldspirit Cloudtiger won't be able to hold on much longer …"
Zhang Xuan was taken aback for a moment before he remarked.
As expected of a grand elder of the Beast Tamer Guild, his understanding of saint beasts was even deeper than his own.
The Goldspirit Cloudtiger was of the metal attribute, so it would be difficult for one to surround it in a normal battle. After all, metal was incomparably sharp, and there was nothing it couldn't overcome.
As resilient as the thin thread was, it was inevitable that it would be torn apart as time passed.
This was the strength of the metal attribute.
However … the other party had prepared fire.
Fire countered metal!
As soon as the flames appeared, the metal attribute energy within the Goldspirit Cloudtiger's body was immediately suppressed. With this, even if the Goldspirit Cloudtiger had an invincible defense, it would still be unable to withstand the combined assault of these people.
"I really shouldn't underestimate the experts of the world …"
Understanding this, Zhang Xuan secretly raised his guard.
While he possessed the Library of Heaven's Path, he still had to be careful not to get too complacent.
If he were in the Goldspirit Cloudtiger's position, he would have no choice but to bring out the Ancient Sage corpse.
"Roar!"
Seeing the flames descending, the Goldspirit Cloudtiger seemed to know that the other party was well-prepared, and it was about to fall into a disadvantageous position. Thus, it raised its head and roared once more.
This time, the roar wasn't an attack. Instead, it seemed to be conveying some kind of message.
"That's the cry of a saint beast. Could it be that … it has companions?"
Wu Changping's face warped in shock.
