"Rumble …"
Everyone didn't have the time to say anything before the horde of demonic beasts had arrived. Charging at the very front was shockingly a herd of barbaric bulls with blood red eyes and bodies as sturdy as a small hill. Their horns were like spears, and they charged towards everyone with a loud bang. This herd of raging bulls was fourth-rank demonic beasts. Their overall strength was not strong, but they possessed unparalleled strength. Their momentum was astonishing as they charged forward.
Under normal circumstances, everyone would only need to dodge. However, they could not do so now.
The Qingyun Valley disciples were surrounded by the horde of demonic beasts. In the face of such a group battle, the best choice was to form a circle with their backs against the enemy. Not only could they prevent their backs from being attacked, but they could also maximize the effects of elixirs, talismans, formations, and weapons to obtain strength, spiritual energy recovery, and healing of injuries. However, if they were separated, they would be fighting on their own.
At that time, not only would they not be able to enjoy the benefits of various cultivation techniques, but they would also easily be surrounded by demonic beasts.
It was precisely because of this that no matter how strong the raging bulls were, they could only withstand it.
Seeing the raging bulls charging at them, the three disciples from the Makshin Valley with shield-type artifacts looked at each other. They gritted their teeth and stepped out of the crowd with their shields raised, firmly blocking in front of everyone. They did not know if they could withstand the raging bulls' charge, but they had no other choice. They had defensive artifacts, so they had to stand up. This was not the time to retreat.
It was not that they were not afraid of death, but if they did not stand up at this time, not only would their reputation be ruined, the evaluation of the talisman order would be lowered, and the other disciples would refuse to help each other. Think about it, if they could not obtain the elixirs of Vermilion Cloud Valley, the talismans of Literary Valley, or the topography of the mountains and valleys, wouldn't every step in this damned place be filled with danger?
Because of this, even though they knew the danger, they had to shoulder their responsibilities.
"All of you, stand back!"
At this moment, Fang Xing suddenly shouted out in a deep voice. He frowned, knowing that these three disciples would not be able to withstand such an attack.
The Makshin Valley disciples looked at him in confusion. Did he really want everyone to hide at the back?
How could the disciples of the Makshin Valley be so irresponsible?
"Swoosh …"
Without any time to say anything, Fang Xing raised the Azure Dragon Jadeflame Saber and jumped out, because at this moment, the herd of Barbaric Bulls had already arrived.
His eyes were red like blood, his horn was like a spear, and his voice was like thunder.
Fang Xing did not block it. After jumping out, he only made one movement. His body spun like a top, both his arms held the saber, and spirit qi poured into it. Then, following his own spin, he slashed out with the saber. In an instant, the saber light was like snow.
Along with the saber light, there was also a green killing intent and a golden flame.
The barbarian bulls that rushed in front of him were immediately intimidated by the cyan Evil Qi, and their momentum slowed down. Fang Xing brandished the saber in his hand, and with a "xiu … …" sound, the saber light turned into a circular arc and flew out, instantly enveloping the seven or eight barbarian bulls that rushed at the front. With a "chi chi" sound, demon blood splattered, body parts flew everywhere, and seven rank four barbarian bulls died at the same time.
"Hiss …"
The Makshin Valley disciples all sucked in a breath of cold air. Such a majestic barbarian bull was actually killed by his saber?
Although the barbarian bulls were only rank four demon beasts, when seven of them rushed together, the impact was enough to make one's heart tremble. Fang Xing faced the seven barbarian bulls head-on, and with a single slash, his strength had already exceeded the sixth level of Spirit Formation Realm.
The three Makshin Valley disciples holding the shields were filled with gratitude. The closer the barbarian bulls got, the stronger the pressure they felt. In their hearts, they knew that their shields couldn't block the charge of the barbarian bulls. If they were to block it, the three of them would most likely be hit by the barbarian bulls, or even lose their lives. This slash from Fang Xing was equivalent to saving them.
"Alright, let's kill!"
With a slash, Fang Xing resolved the danger of the formation being broken and retreated. The Makshin Valley disciples immediately opened up a path to protect him.
"Ao … …"
Behind the barbarian bulls, countless demon beasts rushed over, but they were no longer a threat to the formation.
"Makshin Valley disciples, activate your weapons and kill the demon beasts!"
Wu Xiangtong shouted and at the same time, took out his own flying sword. In an instant, countless flying swords flew up and countless defensive weapons were taken out. For a moment, flesh and blood flew everywhere. Everyone had no choice but to fight with the demon beasts.
As the battle began, flesh and blood flew everywhere.
In front of the disciples from the other valleys, the demon beasts were equally ferocious. However, where the disciples from each valley stood, there was the strongest disciple leading the formation. Thus, the danger of the charge was resolved and they began to fight in close combat. Among all the disciples from the Blue Cloud Sect, except for Fang Xing, everyone was at least in the fifth level of Spirit Formation Realm. At least ten of them had reached the sixth level of Spirit Formation Realm.
The leader of the Mountain Valley, Feng Qingwei, and the leader of the Literature Valley, Pi Junzi, were both at the peak of the sixth level of Spirit Formation Realm. Both of them were only one Nirvana Pill away from stepping into the seventh level of Spirit Formation Realm. Their strength was even stronger than Ye Tianlong.
As for Xu Lingyun, needless to say, her cultivation was already at the eighth level of Spirit Formation Realm.
Although the number of Demonic Beasts was as large as the mountains and plains, which was frightening, their levels were not very high. Most of them were Rank Four Demonic Beasts, with some Rank Five and Rank Six Demonic Beasts mixed in. There were only one or two Rank Seven Demonic Beasts, which were not much of a threat.
Thus, other than the initial panic, the disciples of the Blue Cloud Sect quickly calmed down. They cooperated with each other and used all kinds of spells, techniques, and weapons to defeat the enemy. The state of defeat gradually reversed and the formation stabilized.
As for Fang Xing, after killing a few rank six demon beasts on the side of the Makshin Valley disciples, he picked up his blade and retreated to a safer place among the crowd. He took off the gourd from his waist and drank a mouthful of spiritual wine to recover his spiritual energy. His gaze was fixed on the endless stream of demon beasts rushing out from the forest while he was calculating something in his heart. He felt that something was wrong.
In the middle of the crowd were the female disciples of the Vermilion Cloud Valley. After the appearance of the demon beasts, they naturally occupied the safest central position and used their weapons to help the other disciples defend against the demon beasts. They also used their Natal Small Reversion Pills to heal the injured disciples of the Blue Cloud Sect. However, they would not directly fight the demon beasts, which meant that they were being protected.
"Why didn't you go fight the demon beasts? Why did you retreat here? Are you afraid of death?"
When the female disciple of the Vermilion Cloud Valley, 'pockmarked', saw Fang Xing coming over, she immediately retracted the flying sword in her hand and scolded Fang Xing righteously. Her eyes were filled with disdain, thinking that Fang Xing was afraid of battle and hiding in the middle.
Fang Xing rolled his eyes at her and said, "If you're not afraid of death, why don't you go to the outer perimeter and fight the demon beasts head-on? What are you doing hiding in the middle?"
Pockmarked's face stiffened and she said angrily, "I'm a woman!"
Fang Xing said, "A woman with a face full of pockmarks can also be called a woman?"
Pockmarked's face became even more furious and she scolded, "You're shameless! A disciple of the Vermilion Cloud Valley is ashamed to be in the same sect as you! "
Fang Xing said, "I'm not in the same sect as someone with a face full of pockmarks!"
Pockmarked's face was filled with hatred. The flying sword in her hand almost slashed at Fang Xing, but a male disciple of the Vermilion Cloud Valley hurriedly pulled her back. He looked at Fang Xing coldly and said, "Senior Sister Sun, why bother bickering with this kind of person? Repelling the demon beasts is more important!"
"That's right. Let's repel the demon beasts first, then tell the other brothers about his shameless cowardice of avoiding battle. Let's see if he still has the face to be the leader of the Makshin Valley disciples …" The other disciples of the Vermilion Cloud Valley also shouted loudly, raising their voices as if they wanted others to hear them. However, Fang Xing ignored them. He smiled coldly and turned his gaze elsewhere to observe himself.
He could not be bothered to explain anything to them. In reality, although his spiritual Qi was condensed, his cultivation was lower than everyone else's. To put it bluntly, his spiritual Qi was of high quality, but his storage was insufficient. As a result, he was not good at protracted battles despite his explosive strength. Moreover, the situation at the Makshin Valley was already under control. If he continued to fight the demon beasts head-on, he would only be wasting his spiritual Qi.
Furthermore, he had already noticed that the arrival of the demon beasts was too strange. Many of the demon beasts were natural enemies. Normally, they would fight each other to the death when they met, but now they had joined forces to attack the group. This made him feel that something was wrong.
These demon beasts did not seem to be attacking people based on their own nature. Instead, they seemed to be secretly controlled by something.
Under the attack of the demon beasts, there might be other hidden dangers. He needed to conserve his spiritual Qi to deal with unexpected situations.
In fact, his guess was right. Not long after the situation had stabilized, the rumbling sound of trees falling could be heard from the mountain forest. Looking from afar, flames could be seen soaring into the sky. The demon beasts had not yet appeared, but the sound was already intimidating. After three breaths, the ground suddenly shook violently. From the mountain forest, a giant snake that was as thick as a water bucket and covered in flames and poisonous fog rushed out.
The giant snake was ten feet long and had a single horn on its head. It was extremely ferocious and fast. As soon as it rushed out of the mountain forest, it swung its tail and actually rode the wind. In an instant, it swam rapidly in the air and rushed towards the disciples of the Blue Cloud Sect. Before it got close, the snake opened its mouth and spat out a poisonous flame that was surrounded by black fog. Like a burning cloud, it attacked the disciples of the Blue Cloud Sect.
However, there were still a few demon beasts in between it and the disciples of the Blue Cloud Valley. Those demon beasts were burnt by the poisonous flame first. They could be seen twitching immediately, as if the water in their bodies had been sucked dry. In the end, they became like dried walnuts, curling into a ball.
"Not good, dodge quickly …"
The disciples of the Blue Cloud Sect were shocked, especially those who bore the brunt of the poisonous flame. Their faces were filled with horror.
The snake was too fast, and the poisonous flame was so strange. Seeing that they did not even have the chance to escape, they could only close their eyes and wait for death.
"Whoosh …"
At this moment, a white shadow suddenly flashed. A giant white crane carrying Xu Lingyun flew out from the crowd. Xu Lingyun raised her slender hand slightly and a huge light yellow barrier appeared in front of her. Then, she pushed it forward and the barrier expanded to a radius of three feet, blocking the poisonous flame. All the poisonous flame that sprayed on the barrier was blocked by the barrier.
"There's no need to panic. I'll be the one to kill this demon!"
Xu Lingyun's voice was heard faintly. Then, the white crane spread its wings and carried her directly towards the giant snake.
The disciples who were almost engulfed by the poisonous flame immediately heaved a sigh of relief and said, "Luckily, Senior Sister Lingyun is here …"
Seeing that such a powerful monster snake was easily blocked by Xu Lingyun, they were greatly encouraged and their confidence grew.
Among all the people, only Fang Xing frowned. Looking at Xu Lingyun who was riding on the white crane and fighting with the giant snake in the air, he sighed helplessly and said, "You can block one seventh rank Fire-scaled Monster Snake, but can you block three?"
