"Given your strength and cultivation speed, how long will it take for you to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage?" asked Duanmu Lin without hesitation.
Tan Xiu hesitated for a moment and asked with a confused expression, "Why do you ask this?"
"I asked Aquababe to send you the demonic beast assessment. You should have seen it, right?" "According to our assessment, there is a huge demonic beast in the depths of the Himalayas. Its strength should be comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator. Therefore, I need a powerhouse who can defeat … or even kill it. If you can break through to the Nascent Soul Stage in a short time, I'll give you all the demonic beasts' corpses without taking a single cent. "
A smile appeared on the corner of Tan Xiu's mouth. He was not an ordinary cultivator because he cultivated the top cultivation art of the Demon Realm, the Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis. The creator of this cultivation art was definitely not a Demon King in the Demon Realm, but a Demon God who ascended to the God Realm.
Therefore …
His current strength was comparable to a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse. He was confident that he could crush and kill an early-stage Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse. He should also have some power to fight against a Middle-stage Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse. Unless he encountered a late-stage Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse, but he could still save his life and escape.
"Three months. If I have a lot of demonic beasts' corpses, I can break through to the Nascent Soul Stage in three months. By then, even if I encounter a demonic beast comparable to a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse, I can still give it a heavy blow. "Tan Xiu deliberately fabricated a lie.
"You've become so powerful now?" Duanmu Lin exclaimed in amazement. "You can break through to the Nascent Soul Stage in three months? Good, good, good. All the demonic beasts' corpses are yours as long as I can get them. I'll negotiate with cultivators from other forces to give you all the demonic beasts' corpses we've killed. "
"Thank you!"
Tan Xiu slightly smiled. After hanging up the call, he looked at the snowy scene around him. He found that this was not a hard task at all, but a heaven-sent opportunity to obtain treasures. He wanted the demonic beasts' corpses. Although they did have some materials that were helpful to his cultivation, they were far from being comparable to Demon Cores.
Magic Core.
The essence of a demonic beast was like the Golden Core of a human cultivator. The Golden Elixir of human martial cultivators was also a precious treasure to those magical beasts. If a Demonic Beast swallowed a human Golden Core, its strength would advance by leaps and bounds. After all, the Golden Core that cultivators cultivated was condensed from essence, and it was the main source of their strength.
"Xue Sha, take this spatial ring and store all of the magical beast corpses inside. Also, contact Mo Awu, Jin Shi, Ye Shisan, and Hao Lei and send them an interspatial ring each. Also, collect all the demonic beasts' corpses and Demon Cores for me, "Tan Xiu handed five interspatial rings to Xue Sha and seriously ordered.
"Yes!"
Xue Sha was temporarily appointed by Tan Xiu as the vice-captain of the team, so he immediately assigned the character to someone else. Every two people formed a group and contacted Mo Awu and the other three before quickly leaving.
Tan Xiu glanced around and said, "The smell of blood here is very strong. I'm afraid that a large number of demonic beasts will arrive here soon. Hence, we can't stay here for a long time. Let's leave this place first and look for demonic beasts in other places. "
"Master, won't it save us the trouble of looking for demonic beasts if they are attracted here?" asked Gu Yin curiously. "Why should we leave? Even if we leave, we can still kill some more! "
"The smell of blood is very attractive to demonic beasts." Tan Xiu shook his head and said, "According to my understanding of demonic beasts, they can smell the blood even from a few kilometers away. If it's a powerful demonic beast, they can smell it even if it's more than 10 kilometers away. If a large number of demonic beasts rush here, we'll probably be in danger once we get surrounded by them. "
Gu Yin suddenly understood and looked at Tan Xiu with admiration. She nodded and said, "You're right, Master. Let's leave quickly then!"
The smell of blood was a great temptation to demonic beasts.
Less than two minutes after Tang Xiu's team left, several demonic beasts with a fishy stench rushed over. What made them furious was that there was a lot of bloody smell lingering in this place. The vast expanse of white snow was stained with blood, yet there was no fresh meat or prey left behind.
ROAR! ROAR …
The roars of demonic beasts continued to spread out one after another. In just a few minutes, nearly a hundred demonic beasts had gathered here. Several of them exuded a huge aura that was comparable to the aura of Golden Core Stage cultivators.
At this time …
Tan Xiu led the Tang Sect disciples and appeared in a valley tens of kilometers away. This valley was facing the sun and only some hidden corners had some snow, whereas the rest was bare and countless stones could be seen everywhere.
"Activate!"
Tan Xiu hid behind a seven-meter-high boulder with a glint flashing in his eyes. He used an array disc to quietly set up an array formation in this valley, trapping 60 to 70 demonic beasts inside. Even though he activated the array and completely isolated it from the outside world, the demonic beasts still didn't notice it.
"Use the battle array to hunt the demonic beasts. Pay attention to your safety."
Tan Xiu stepped into the array and said with a solemn expression. The array he arranged didn't have any offensive power and only had two functions — to trap the demonic beasts and isolate their aura from the outside world. After entering the array, Tan Xiu didn't take the initiative to attack. Instead, he watched the figures quickly pouncing on the demonic beasts. The divine sword floated around him and the long blade in his hand was slightly raised.
Killing demonic beasts wasn't his only goal. He needed to use these demonic beasts to train the sect disciples so that they could grow faster.
He watched coldly from the sidelines and acted quickly.
Every time a disciple fell into a crisis, he would take action. Although he wouldn't kill any demonic beasts, he would still severely injure them and leave them for the sect disciples to kill. However, Gu Yin was the one he rescued the most. She was only in her teens and her combat skills were too poor. Even though she was at the mid-stage of Golden Core Stage, she was often surrounded by danger.
However, after a series of battles, Gu Yin's combat experience was improving rapidly. When nearly half of the sixty to seventy demonic beasts were killed, she successfully killed two demonic beasts even though she had many wounds on her body and blood was flowing from the corner of her mouth.
Swoosh …
Tan Xiu instantly appeared beside a sect disciple. As the long blade split a demonic beast in half, he hurriedly reached out to support a sect disciple who was on the verge of falling. He had a deep impression of this sect disciple because in the battle just now, he was one of the few that didn't ask him to help.
At this moment, the sect disciple was seriously injured. His back was a bloody mess and he had suffered serious internal injuries. If Tan Xiu didn't help him just now, he would have died under the claws of the demonic beasts.
"Take it."
Tan Xiu took out a Healing Panacea and grabbed his arm. He sent him out of the array at lightning speed and let him heal his injuries outside.
Puff …
"Kill …"
Blood was spilled along with the massacre. It was tragic and horrifying.
The ensuing battle lasted for nearly half an hour. Twelve seriously injured Tang Sect disciples were sent out of the array by Tan Xiu, while the rest killed the last demonic beasts.
Dozens of people.
Except for Tan Xiu who was unscathed, the rest were covered with blood and injuries. Some were seriously injured, while some were only slightly injured.
Tan Xiu looked around and saw Xue Sha walking toward him with blood all over his body. He nodded and said, "Collect all the Demon Cores and the demonic beasts' corpses. We may have arranged a geomancy array here, but demonic beasts with higher intelligence will still be able to sense that something is wrong here. Hence, we need to evacuate early and return to our residence to heal and cultivate. "
"Understood!"
Xue Sha nodded and began to collect the Demon Cores and the demonic beasts' corpses.
Shortly after, Tan Xiu had broken the array and used a spell to wash everyone's body. Then, he led everyone to the periphery of the Himalayas. On the way, they encountered more than a dozen waves of fierce beasts, but the most they encountered was only a dozen, and the least was only two or three. They easily dealt with these demonic beasts.
Half an hour later.
Two distressed figures appeared in the valley. Both Hun Sen and Jiang Shuisheng had a lot of injuries on their bodies. Jiang Shuisheng's back had a bloody wound, but fortunately, the bleeding was stopped in time, so it didn't become a big problem.
"Damn! Isn't that surnamed Tang way too fast? How come we haven't even caught up with their shadows? "Hun Sen spat out a mouthful of bloody saliva and angrily said.
Jiang Shuisheng also looked angry and said, "I can't say that they're fast. It's just that this mountain range is too big, and we've been chasing them in the wrong direction several times. However, they do have some skills. They should have killed some demonic beasts according to the place we tracked. "
"We've killed a lot of demonic beasts, haven't we?" Hun Sen sneered. "16 of them. We've killed 16 demonic beasts! One of them is comparable to a cultivator at the middle stage of the Golden Core stage. Fortunately, you're a Golden Core expert and I have my family's divine weapon, else we would have died here. "
Jiang Shuisheng nodded and said, "You're right. We haven't caught up with them yet, so maybe they've already died in the mouths of those demonic beasts. It's possible that even their corpses have been devoured. Forget it. Let's find a hidden place to recuperate and then immediately return to … "
His words came to an abrupt end because he had a horrified look on his face. He looked at the valley in the distance and saw dozens of demonic beasts rushing toward the place where the smell of blood came from.
Blood?
How could there be a smell of blood here? Did a battle take place here before? If there really was a battle, would it be between humans and demonic beasts?
Tan Xiu?
