The morning glow slowly rose in the sky as the rising sun selflessly shone its light on the earth.
It drove away the darkness, cold, and fear, and brought light and the power of life to the world.
However, at this moment, when the sun began to rise, the top of the city wall was completely silent. When Yi Zhongtian said the two words "Saint Beast", everyone's face became deathly still.
In the northwestern and eastern worlds, most ordinary people did not know what a holy beast was. However, it was different in the northern border. For the people who lived under the threat of wild beasts at all times, they had a deep understanding of these terrifying creatures.
A holy beast was a legendary existence among wild beasts.
A holy beast was more terrifying than a herd of beasts. Even though there were many beasts in a herd, humans could still rely on the specially-made city walls and weapons in the city to slowly exhaust them. On the other hand, if a holy beast came, the only thing waiting for humans was the destruction of the city.
Ordinary people knew how terrifying a holy beast was, and Innate Powerhouses were even more so.
Xu Jun clenched the divine weapon in his hands tightly. However, to his dismay, he realized that the divine weapon that had brought him confidence countless times in the past could no longer give him the slightest bit of confidence.
Zhang Bolin and his companions turned ghastly pale. They never thought that a holy beast would really appear among the herd of beasts.
"Impossible …" The muscles on Zhang Bolin's face twitched slightly. How could a veteran Innate Expert lose his composure like this? One could imagine the shock in his heart.
"Brother Zhang, don't the northern border's holy beasts have independent characteristics and won't follow a herd?" Chen Linxi asked with a bitter smile.
The couple had a close relationship with Zhang Bolin, and they vaguely knew that he could not be blamed for this, so they did not show him any attitude.
"I don't know." Zhang Bolin took a deep breath and said fiercely, "I really don't know."
Indeed, what happened today exceeded his decades of traveling in the northern border, so he could not explain it at all.
"A beast tide." He Yiming's voice was heard. "Now that the northern spirit beasts are affected by the beast tide, which happens once in 1,000 years, they're much more powerful than usual. It's not surprising for a Saint Beast to appear among the beasts. "
Yi Zhongtian's expression changed unpredictably. He suddenly took a step forward and said respectfully, "Senior He, please save Peng City's disciples." Finished speaking, he bent his knees and was about to kowtow in front of everyone.
However, he was shocked to find that his legs could no longer kneel.
The last time He Yiming made him kneel in the room, it was because He Yiming didn't notice. He also didn't expect that this person would disregard the face of an Innate Ranker for the disciples of Peng City. Now that he was on guard, he naturally wouldn't allow him to embarrass himself in front of everyone.
He turned his head and said with a faint smile, "Brother Yi, do you think I can kill this Saint Beast?"
Looking at He Yiming's gaze, for some reason, Yi Zhongtian was suddenly filled with confidence. He said in a clear voice, "Senior will definitely be able to kill this fiend."
He Yiming laughed out loud and retracted his gaze. His eyes flashed with a hint of approval.
This fellow's eyesight was indeed not bad.
A loud roar came from the front again. Then, an especially tall giant bear walked out from the group of beasts with its back facing the sun.
When this giant bear stood up, its height was almost twice as tall as its peers. It was really unknown how it hid among the beasts without being discovered.
Its speed wasn't fast. Instead, it walked step by step toward the city wall. It didn't have the slightest intention of using its speed to charge at the city wall.
"Not good, our city wall can't withstand the Saint Beast's attack." Xu Jun's expression changed slightly as he cried out in alarm.
He Yiming sighed softly. Facing a giant Saint Beast, He Yiming really couldn't raise his spirits. However, he knew that he couldn't let this giant bear destroy the city wall.
Since this city wall was built by the Ice Palace and had a miraculous effect, it actually didn't have the slightest bit of damage after so many people and beasts fought on it for a long time. If it was really destroyed by the Saint Beast, even he would feel some heartache.
He Yiming's figure swayed slightly. He had already jumped down from the top of the city wall.
His movements weren't fast either. Almost everyone could see it clearly. But what was strange was that his body was like a weightless goose feather, allowing the wind to carry him toward the giant bear.
From the beginning to the end, wisps of wind surrounded him, preventing him from falling to the ground.
After witnessing this scene, Yi Zhongtian and the others couldn't help but gasp. A thought flashed across their minds at the same time. Could it be that this person can actually fly?
When He Yiming landed below the city wall, the giant bear that was striding forward suddenly stopped. It narrowed its small eyes and stared at this strange human in front of it.
The intelligence of a 1,000-year spirit beast wasn't inferior to a human's, not to mention a Saint Beast.
Although this Saint Beast didn't notice the oppressive aura on He Yiming's body, it felt a little uneasy in its heart. Perhaps it was because He Yiming's overly calm attitude that made it afraid, so the Saint Beast didn't immediately pounce on him. Instead, it felt a little fearful behind him.
On the top of the city wall, Yi Zhongtian and the others had already widened their eyes. They stared down, not daring to even blink.
The giant bear Saint Beast was close to four meters tall. It was more than twice as tall as He Yiming. Its huge body stood in front of He Yiming, almost covering him completely.
However, for some reason, everyone on the top of the city wall had a strange feeling. The environment that this man and beast were in seemed to be the exact opposite of their sizes.
It was as if He Yiming was the ferocious and terrifying Holy Beast, and that tall giant bear was like an insignificant clown. As long as it was lightly patted, it would be completely smashed to death.
"Brother Yi, where did Senior He come from?" Zhang Bolin asked in disbelief, "Could he be an elder of the Ice Palace?"
Every sect had its own elders, but these elders had varying levels of cultivation in martial arts.
For example, the elders of branch sects like Hengshan only needed to be at the ordinary Xiantian Realm. However, the elders of large sects like the Northern Border Ice Palace and Divine Wind Palace needed to be at the Saint Realm or above.
Moreover, after seeing the scene of He Yiming confronting the giant bear Saint Beast, Zhang Bolin already understood that this guy who looked like a young man was definitely not on the same level as him. That was why he changed the way he addressed him as Senior.
Before Yi Zhongtian could answer, Xu Jun shook his head and said, "Senior He isn't an elder of our sect."
As the Ice Palace's envoy, he was much more well-informed than Yi Zhongtian, who was stationed in Peng City. Since he denied it, the others naturally didn't suspect anything.
"Senior He shouldn't be from the Northern Border." Yu Xueying suddenly interrupted, "Looking at his clothes, perhaps he also entered the Northern Border to hunt spirit beasts."
Everyone nodded. Apart from this possibility, they really couldn't think of any other.
Zhang Bolin's eyes lit up, and he said, "Senior He once said that he won't take anything unless it's a Saint Beast Neidan. If that's the case … "
Chen Linxi and his wife's eyes lit up right away. At this moment, a total of 7 Xiantian Spirit Beasts had been killed on the city wall, and one of them was even a 1,000-year spirit beast.
If He Yiming really didn't want anything, according to their agreement, the 7 Xiantian Neidan beasts would belong to them.
Yi Zhongtian and Xu Jun frowned, but they didn't say a word. This matter was rather sensitive, so they wouldn't interfere no matter what.
Who knew, Zhang Bolin sighed and said, "Actually, we didn't get the credit for killing those spirit beasts. It was Senior He who secretly helped."
Yi Zhongtian and the others were startled, but they immediately understood. No wonder the spirit beasts they were fighting became so weak in an instant. It turned out that the other party had secretly helped them, and this was the only explanation.
Zhang Bolin took a deep breath and said, "Brother Chen, we can't keep the Neidan beasts for ourselves."
Although there was still a trace of reluctance in the eyes of Chen Linxi and his wife, they nodded without hesitation. This was because they understood that although He Yiming had repeatedly said that he didn't want it, if they really accepted it with a clear conscience, they were afraid that it would lead to a fatal disaster for them.
This was the relationship between one's martial arts cultivation base and one's boundary.
If they were also at the peak of the human path, they naturally wouldn't value the Xiantian Neidan beasts so much. On the other hand, the Neidan beasts were too important to ordinary Xiantian powerhouses.
At the spur of the moment, a shrill howl was heard from below the city, which attracted everyone's attention again.
Nevertheless, when they saw what was happening in front of them, they subconsciously shook their heads or rubbed their eyes. They dared not believe what they were seeing.
The giant sacred beast actually began to retreat slowly.
Despite being a sacred beast, not only did it not attack furiously when it faced a human, but it also became timid and planned to retreat without fighting.
The sacred beast moved very slowly and even let out a threatening roar, but as long as one wasn't an idiot, one could tell what it was thinking at the moment.
Behind it, there was a commotion among the beasts. The beasts, which were originally extremely disciplined, began to retreat slowly. Some of the timid bears even turned around and fled without hesitation.
The giant beasts were not stupid. They could clearly sense the sacred beast's fear. How could they resist a human that even a powerful sacred beast was afraid of?
For a time, the chaos grew bigger and bigger, spreading like a plague.
In just a short while, more and more beasts began to flee. As if it had caused a chain reaction, all the giant bears let out frightened howls and abandoned their king, fleeing desperately to an unknown distance.
On the city wall, everyone was dumbfounded as they watched everything in front of them. They had never been so shocked before. (To be continued, if you want to know what happened next, please go to www.qidian.com. Support the author, support the original reading!)
