A thunderous roar, which sounded like a landslide or a tsunami, was heard coming from outside the city.
When the roar exploded, the 1,000-year spirit beast that was fighting Yi Zhongtian and Xu Jun on top of the city trembled. It opened its mouth, and a green ball of air could be clearly seen in its mouth.
Yi Zhongtian and Xu Jun cursed internally. They naturally understood the power of a spirit beast's breath, and they also knew that it was a real 1,000-year spirit beast in front of them.
Spirit beasts were supreme beings in the world of beasts.
Normally, spirit beasts that were less than 500 years old were powerful, but as long as they were besieged by some Acquired Realm cultivators with deeper cultivation bases, they could be dealt with.
Once spirit beasts lived for 500 years, their physiques would mutate, and they would become even more powerful Innate Spirit Beasts. Innate Neidan would have been condensed in these spirit beasts' bodies. They could automatically absorb Heaven and Earth's power from the outside world to maintain their powers, and they would keep accumulating life force to wait for the next evolution.
After 1,000 years, spirit beasts would become even more powerful, and Innate Neidan's powers would become even more unbelievable.
Spirit beasts in this realm were already comparable to human powerhouses in One-Line Heaven. More importantly, the breathing ability of these Spirit beasts was greatly enhanced. They were no longer comparable to those ordinary Xiantian Spirit beasts that needed to rest for half a day after exhaling a breath.
At this moment, the powerful 1,000-year Innate Spirit Beast was standing in front of them.
If Xu Jun was not the Ice Palace's messenger and was not given a pair of Divine Soldier Weapons by an elder from the Meng Sect, which could only be used by Venerable Ones, the 2 of them would not have been able to restrain the 1,000-year spirit beast.
Despite that, the spirit beast was clearly enraged, and it was going all out.
The 2 of them leaped backward at the same time. Their body techniques were extremely strange as they swayed left and right as they retreated, as if they would jump in another direction at any time.
At this moment, they unleashed their light-body techniques to their limits. Even if the 1,000-year spirit beast's breath was coming at them, they were more than 70% confident that they could dodge it.
Who knew, it was then that the spirit beast did something that they could not believe.
In its mouth, the ball of green light was not spat out, and its huge body did not move forward. Instead, it retreated backwards. At this moment, the speed it displayed was not commensurate with its size.
Yi Zhongtian and Xu Jun were slightly stunned. They couldn't figure out what this thousand-year spirit beast was up to. However, before they could react, they saw the giant bear's body suddenly stop in mid-air. It was as if a huge wall had suddenly appeared in the air and blocked its back, causing it to stay in mid-air.
An angry and fearful voice came out of the 1,000-year Spirit Beast's mouth. Then, a green breath that made countless people tremble in fear came out of the 1,000-year Spirit Beast's mouth.
Compared to those five hundred years old Xiantian Spirit Beasts, the power of the breath of a thousand years old Xiantian Spirit Beast was undoubtedly stronger. A ball of cyan light was spat out from the giant bear's mouth, rushing towards the two human Xiantian experts at an unimaginable speed.
It did not know what was going on. It only wanted to leave because it suddenly heard the Bear King's summon. However, as soon as it reached the edge of the city wall, its body was forcefully fixed in place by a huge force. Under the situation where its struggle was futile, its fear and anger exploded in an instant, and the power of its breath became even stronger.
When Yi Zhongtian, Xu Jun, and the 1,000-year Spirit Beast were fighting, the others had long retreated far away. This was because everyone knew that a battle like this was not something they could get involved in. If they were accidentally involved, they would definitely die in vain.
The green light swept over, and in front of everyone's eyes, the area seemed to have turned into a green world.
Yi Zhongtian and Xu Jun were already prepared. They were fully focused on the 1,000-year Spirit Beast. As soon as they saw it spitting out its breath, they retreated to the side at the fastest speed and escaped into the distance almost in an instant.
However, something even more puzzling happened.
This green light did not spread out. When the range of the breath reached about three feet, it suddenly stopped and then reversed in front of everyone's eyes.
The power of a spirit beast's breath was definitely its trump card. Once it was released, even the spirit beasts themselves could not resist its power. Moreover, this time, a Divine Soldier, which could not be seen by the others, was also among the green light that counterattacked.
A crazy and painful roar burst out from the mouth of the thousand-year spirit beast. It could finally move its body. Then, it stumbled forward, but its footsteps were staggered. It seemed that it was seriously injured by the counterattack of its own green breath. It could no longer stand firmly.
Both Yi Zhongtian and Xu Jun were overjoyed. Although they did not know what had happened and why the Spirit Beast's breath had hurt them instead, they did not know what had happened. Even so, the situation was unquestionably the most advantageous for them.
Almost without any hesitation, the saber and the dual swords greeted the giant bear in an instant.
Lights kept flashing in the air as a giant head soared into the sky. It was Yi Zhongtian who chopped off the giant bear's head with his saber.
Yi Zhongtian quickly took a few steps back and looked at his saber in disbelief. His eyes were filled with confusion.
He knew his weapon well. His saber was definitely a top-notch weapon, but it was still far from the Divine Soldier's Sharp Weapon, which was used by Venerable Ones. On the other hand, the 1,000-year Spirit Beast's skin was as tough as iron, and its bones were as tough as steel. Even if it stood still and allowed Yi Zhongtian to slash it with his saber, he would not be able to chop off its head within 15 minutes.
In actuality, not to mention Yi Zhongtian, even Xu Jun could not chop off the 1,000-year Spirit Beast's head with the Divine Soldier's Sharp Weapon.
After all, their martial arts cultivation bases were too low, and they could not fully unleash the Divine Soldier's Sharp Weapon's true power. Therefore, the dual swords could only make the giant bear afraid, but they could not change the balance of the battle.
Who knew, the most unbelievable thing happened at this moment.
Ou Yangming had only casually slashed the spirit bear, but the saber actually chopped off the spirit bear's head. This was far beyond what he could bear.
"Brother Yi, congratulations." Xu Jun was dumbfounded as he looked at the 1,000-year Spirit Beast that fell. He dared not believe it, but the scene in front of him was real — the 1,000-year Spirit Beast's head was indeed gone. He took a deep breath and expressed in a deep voice, "Brother Yi, your martial arts cultivation base has improved greatly. Since you killed a 1,000-year Spirit Beast in one slash, I'll surely report this to the elders in my sect and ask for your reward."
Yi Zhongtian blushed and quickly waved his hand. "Brother Xu, this is fishy, so let's talk about it later."
After he finished speaking, he turned his head to look. Wherever his gaze landed, he could not help but be slightly startled.
There were still a few battles taking place on the wall, but what was surprising was that the giant bears that were fighting with the humans were ordinary spirit beasts. As for the Innate Spirit Beasts that were more than 500 years old, which they were worried about, there were no Innate Spirit Beasts.
Moreover, on the other side of the wall, Zhang Bolin and his companions were also staring blankly at their weapons. There were 4 Innate Spirit Beasts lying in front of them, and they were decapitated. It was clear that they were killed by the 4 of them.
It would be hard to accept that the 3 of them had joined hands to kill 4 Innate Spirit Beasts, but it was not impossible.
After all, even the 2 of them managed to kill a 1,000-year Spirit Beast without rhyme or reason. Hence, it seemed logical for 3 Innate Spirit Beasts to be killed by 4 Innate Spirit Beasts.
However, they clearly remembered that there were as many as 6 500-year-old Innate Spirit Beasts, so where did the other 2 go?
During the battle just now, Yi Zhongtian and Xu Jun were fully focused on the 1,000-year Spirit Beast in front of them, thus they did not have the time to pay attention to the rest of the situation on the battlefield.
After all, the spirit beast in front of them was far stronger than them. It was rather afraid of the Divine Soldier's sharp weapon, but it could not make up for the huge disparity between their strengths. If Yi Zhongtian and Xu Jun were to be distracted at that time, they would be courting death.
Therefore, they were unaware of the paranormal incident that happened on the battlefield.
"Brother Zhang, Brother Chen and his wife have great skills," Xu Jun praised from the bottom of his heart.
Zhang Bolin, Chen Linxi, and Xu Jun looked at each other and smiled bitterly. They felt that everything was strange. Nevertheless, being able to kill the formidable enemy in front of them meant that not only did they save the town, but they could also obtain Innate Neidan. It was a real benefit, so they could not help but be moved.
Yi Zhongtian rolled his eyes and suddenly uttered, "Senior He …"
Everyone looked in the direction that he was looking at and saw the mysterious young man standing on the battlements and looking into the distance.
They could not help but have a strong and strange feeling. This was a battlefield where life and death were decided. They were facing powerful spirit beasts, but the young Innate Powerhouse did not seem to care about the battlefield at all.
His attention seemed to be on the giant bears in the distance, where most of the spirit beasts were killed.
In the distance, an earth-shattering, tsunami-like roar rang out once again.
Once the roar was undisguised, the entire wall seemed to have begun to shake.
Everyone's head buzzed. The few remaining spirit bears ran toward the top of the city without a care for anything else. Then, they climbed over the wall and ran toward their group without a care for their image. It was as if someone was chasing them from behind. They were extremely fast.
"Holy beasts …" Yi Zhongtian's face turned pale again. The joy that he felt was long replaced by fear.
At this moment, a light slowly appeared on the horizon in the distance. The first ray of light finally shone on the ground and spread.
The sky was bright! (To be continued. If you want to know what happens next, please go to www.qidian.com. There are more chapters. Support the author, support the original reading!)
