Three-star Revered Rank
The ferocious beasts that had jumped onto the city wall were only a small portion at the front. Gradually, the speed at which the ferocious beasts jumped onto the city wall increased by dozens of times.
The ferocious beasts swarmed over like locusts. A warrior would have to face at least two or three of them. Some unlucky ones might even be besieged by dozens of ferocious beasts.
Under such circumstances, there were finally warriors who died or were injured.
"My three juniors, stand with me!" Xue Feng bellowed and leaped to the front of Gu Xuan and the other two. He was the strongest among them and letting Gu Xuan and the other two stand with him was also a form of protection.
The four of them stood still and the ferocious beasts besieged them one after another.
Kill!
Xue Feng took out a sharp longsword. Under the infusion of the flame energy, it instantly released streaks of sharp Sword Qi. Any ferocious beast that was hit by the Sword Qi was instantly split into two. Sometimes, the Sword Qi could even kill a second ferocious beast without losing its momentum.
After half of the ferocious beasts were killed by Xue Feng, the pressure on Gu Xuan and the other two was greatly reduced.
"Icy Sword Qi!"
Gu Xuan flicked his finger and a streak of Sword Qi was formed. Under his control, it spiraled and danced. Any senior that was ten feet away from him had their heads pierced by the Sword Qi.
Gu Xuan's attack almost killed all the ferocious beasts in the vicinity.
Xue Feng glanced at Gu Xuan in surprise. He was a nine-star Revered Rank and was stronger than Gu Xuan in terms of strength. However, in terms of killing efficiency, Gu Xuan was actually on par with him.
Gu Xuan's position gradually moved forward as he continued to kill. In the end, he stood beside Xue Feng.
After Gu Xuan killed the ferocious beasts, he kept the beast cores in his hand. Then, Yun Xi easily refined them. Gu Xuan's flame energy also became more vigorous as the number of ferocious beasts in front of him increased.
Although Xue Feng and the other two were also collecting beast cores, they were only storing them temporarily. They needed to slowly refine them after the Beast Tide ended. They were incomparable to Gu Xuan.
Gu Xuan's flame energy gradually increased and the strength that he could unleash naturally became stronger. Previously, he and Xue Feng were evenly matched in killing ferocious beasts. Now, they had taken up 60% of the ferocious beasts.
On the other hand, Xue Feng's killing efficiency became lower and lower due to the consumption of his flame energy. Soon, he could only stand behind Gu Xuan.
Xue Feng could only sigh in amazement. Gu Xuan's strength was still lower than his, but the power of flames in his body was really too strong. Not only was it endless, it was even showing signs of becoming more and more powerful as the battle progressed.
"Roar!"
After the ferocious beasts left a mountain of corpses on the city wall, they finally chose to give up. Hundreds of thousands of ferocious beasts retreated like a receding tide. In just a moment, they were already far away from Falling Cloud City.
"He is so close to breaking through to Third Star Honourable Rank. If the beast tide continues for another two hours, it will be enough." Gu Xuan frowned and was slightly dissatisfied.
With the help of these beast cores, he quickly reached the peak of the Two-Star Monarch Realm. However, breaking through to the next realm wasn't as simple as accumulation. If he were to forcefully break through, he would need the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to cleanse his body over and over again, which would consume a lot of beast cores.
Gu Xuan was ultimately still a hair's breadth away from breaking through.
"Junior Gu Xuan, it's all thanks to you this time. Otherwise, I'm afraid that one of the four of us would have been injured." Xue Feng sighed as he looked at the hundreds of ferocious beast corpses below Gu Xuan.
"A beast tide of this level isn't enough to injure us. Those that have died are basically Seventh Star Honourable Rank weaklings." Gu Xuan casually said.
Xue Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head. Seventh Star Honourable Rank were indeed weaklings in Falling Cloud City. However, it was a little too awkward for Gu Xuan to say these words.
Other than Gu Xuan, there was probably no one else who could say that Seventh Star Honourable Rank were weaklings when they were still Two Star Honourable Rank.
Before they could deal with the ferocious beast corpses on the city wall, everyone was chased down by the Falling Cloud Sect's cultivators. There were still a large number of beast cores that had not been collected from the corpses. Naturally, they would fall into the hands of the five people from the Falling Cloud Sect.
"Forget it. I've already reached the peak of Two-Star Honourable Rank. The beast cores aren't very useful to me. I'll slowly break through."
Gu Xuan gave up on the idea of taking advantage of the crisis. He jumped down from the city wall with Xue Feng and the rest and returned to their respective residences.
"Yun Xi, prepare to break through to the next level tonight." Gu Xuan sat down with a dignified expression on his face.
His current level was still too low. As a Two-Star Honourable Rank, he could only be comparable to an Eighth Star Honourable Rank cultivator by using various means. He would only be slightly inferior to a Ninth Star Honourable Rank cultivator.
In the Ancient Flame Demon Mansion, there were too many Ninth Star Honourable Rank cultivators. Other than the weakest sects that were unable to gather so many Ninth Star Honourable Rank cultivators, the rest of the sects were almost all Ninth Star Honourable Rank cultivators.
Sects like Ying Tianzong were already weak enough.
If he broke through to Three-Star Honourable Rank, an ordinary Ninth Star Honourable Rank cultivator would definitely not be a match for Gu Xuan. In that case, Gu Xuan's strength would reach a relatively high level in the entire Ancient Flame Demon Mansion.
Under normal circumstances, the ferocious beasts would completely disperse after a few days, and the treasures would descend. At that time, many cultivators would be in a frenzy.
The stronger one was, the more treasures one could obtain.
Rumble ~
In order to break through to the next level, Yun Xi increased the speed of her absorption of the Qi of Heaven and Earth to an extremely high level. Boundless Qi of Heaven and Earth gushed madly into Gu Xuan's body.
At that moment, what Gu Xuan needed was no longer the power of the flame, but a massive amount of Qi of Heaven and Earth to break through to the next level.
"This is still not enough. Again!" Gu Xuan said softly.
Yun Xi doubled the speed of her absorption. When the Qi of Heaven and Earth poured into Gu Xuan's body, it was like a knife cutting through his body.
"Still not enough! Continue! "Gu Xuan gritted his teeth and said.
"Gu Xuan, your body can't take it anymore. Are you sure you want to continue?" Yun Xi was a little worried.
"It's okay. Although this will cause some damage to my body, there isn't much time left. Go ahead. My body is stronger than you can imagine!" Gu Xuan said.
"Alright!" Yun Xi agreed helplessly. She increased her absorption to the highest level. The extremely condensed Qi of Heaven and Earth even tore the flesh on Gu Xuan's chest apart.
"Break!"
Gu Xuan shouted furiously. The massive amount of Qi of Heaven and Earth was channeled into a Three-Star Honourable Rank.
Pop!
The bottleneck of the Three-Star Honourable Rank was finally completely shattered under Gu Xuan's wild attacks. Gu Xuan also advanced from the Two-Star Honourable Rank to the Three-Star Honourable Rank.
"Blergh!"
At the same time, Gu Xuan also spat out a mouthful of blood. His aura had become much weaker.
Although the wild attacks had increased the speed of his advancement, the burden on his body was too great. If he wanted to cultivate normally again, he would need at least twenty days.
The gains did not make up for the losses.
