Swoosh!
On the snowy icefield, the wind and snow were already whistling, the cold wind was cutting, and the temperature was extrely cold, making these cultivators feel displeased.
At this mont, demons ca to attack, making them even more annoyed.
"Such audacity!"
Seeing the demon beasts appear and launch an attack, a cultivator from the Foundation Establishnt stage reacted swiftly, imdiately wielding a flying sword towards the demon beast.
In the next mont, there was a clanging sound.
The flying sword struck the demon beast fiercely, making a tallic clink.
This strike felt like hitting a piece of hard tal, unable to break through the demon beast’s defense.
With a thud.
Relying on its strong defense, the demon beast easily deflected the blow, causing the flying sword to fall straight onto the icefield.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
Simultaneously, six more demon beasts burst out from the ice, splashing water as they launched attacks on the surrounding cultivators, causing these cultivators to hurriedly respond.
"Quickly dodge!"
"Why are there more demon beasts?!"
The atmosphere in the cultivator’s team was quite chaotic.
Lu Ping glanced over, scanning these colorful demon beasts, and upon seeing their size, he quickly recognized what kind of demon beasts they were.
"Shanyan Demons."
These demon beasts appearing in the distance were a rare kind of demon beast from the sea.
Shanyan Demons feed on coral, each about a zhang in size. Despite their large size and aggressive appearance, they are known for their defense and speed.
Moreover, Shanyan Demons have a skill that allows them to perfectly blend into the coral.
The number of corals under the sea is imnse, countless like grains of sand, impossible to tally.
Once a Shanyan Demon blends into the coral, it’s extrely difficult to detect with divine sense.
Strong in defense, fast in speed, with a talent for concealnt, Shanyan Demons are hard to deal with.
Due to these characteristics, these Shanyan Demons had concealed themselves around here, and the cultivators were unable to detect them in ti, leading to an ambush.
"Interesting, there are even such demon beasts here."
Lu Ping’s eyes flashed.
He had only encountered Shanyan Demons once before.
Recalling that encounter, he had used his Mid-stage Foundation Establishnt strength to deal with an Early-stage Foundation Establishnt Shanyan Demon. They battled dozens of rounds without being able to break its defense, and eventually, the demon escaped.
The Shanyan Demons before them now had a minimum strength at the Eighth-Layer Qi Cultivation, with the strongest reaching Sixth-Layer Foundation Establishnt based on aura.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
As several magical artifacts struck these Shanyan Demons, exploding in bursts of sound, none could break their defense, and all were rebounded.
"What kind of demon beast is this?! Its defense is astonishing!"
"So difficult to fight!"
"I don’t believe it, let’s see how many more hits it can take!"
Despite full-force attacks by several cultivators, none could break the defense, leading two cultivators to exclaim in surprise.
So stubborn cultivators continued to unleash their magical artifacts with full force, their magical power raging, trying to forcibly break through the Shanyan Demons’ defensive carapace.
However, after a few more moves and rounds of combat, the Shanyan Demons’ defense stood firm.
The magical artifacts couldn’t break through the hard carapace!
"Colorful, mountain-like shape, hard defense... These are Shanyan Demons!"
At this mont, a young female cultivator in the team spoke loudly, revealing the nature of these demon beasts.
"This creature’s defense is strong; to kill them, break through their defensive carapace and strike at their flesh, otherwise, it’s hard to eliminate them."
"Shanyan Demons, it’s my first ti hearing of such creatures in the world!"
"Junior Sister Liiu, be careful!"
Amidst the clamor accompanied by the clangs of magical artifacts on the Shanyan Demons’ carapace, the atmosphere was quite lively.
So cultivators around were unaware of what Shanyan Demons were. After several attacks, realizing they couldn’t break through the defense, not even leaving a mark, they were understandably shocked.
The strength of these demon beasts was high, yet none had reached the Crystallization stage, all were in Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishnt stages.
As for their side, apart from two Late-stage Qi Cultivators, all were Foundation Establishnt Cultivators.
With similar combat power, they couldn’t break the defense, this fight seed hopeless!
"It’s Liu Hanyan."
Recognizing the female cultivator who identified the Shanyan Demons, Lu Ping glanced her way, imdiately rembering.
Liu Hanyan, a cultivator of the Jiuhua Sect, had t Lu Yuanshan at the Trade Conference on Hidden Mist Island a few tis; Lu Ping had so impression of her.
Unexpectedly, he’d et her here today.
Scanning with divine sense to examine the cultivation levels of these people, Lu Ping found that the strongest was at the Eighth-Layer Foundation Establishnt, the weakest at the Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation.
Liu Hanyan had progressed from the Fourth-Layer Foundation Establishnt during their last eting to the Seventh-Layer Foundation Establishnt now.
This cultivation speed was quite fast.
"Everyone, don’t disperse, gather together quickly!"
Facing the attacking Shanyan Demons, the leading disciple of Jiuhua Sect spoke up.
On such an icefield, dealing with Shanyan Demons was tough as it was, not to ntion hidden numbers and positions, leaving them in a passive state.
"Indeed, Shanyan Demons are troubleso, don’t spread out."
"Junior Brother He, stop attacking with full force, conserve your magical power, now’s not the ti to show off!"
Liu Hanyan added, "Listen to Senior Brother Li, try to regroup."
"Alright, alright, gather up!"
The cultivator referred to as Junior Brother He nodded repeatedly, glaring at the nearest Shanyan Demon, yet helpless against it.
The opponent was not only fast, able to dodge in ti, even hitting it, and their magical artifacts couldn’t break through its defense.
Truly a tough situation!
At the sa ti, the appearance of these demon beasts in the Extre North Icefield was unexpected for Liu Hanyan. If known earlier, she would’ve asked the sect to send two more Crystallization stage seniors!
Now wasn’t the ti to think on that, survival was most urgent.
As the battle continued for dozens of rounds, a disciple of Jiuhua Sect couldn’t keep up and was wounded by a Shanyan Demon’s claw.
"Ah!"
The disciple scread, a burst of blood splattered on the cold icefield, the sight of blood shocking.
"Junior Brother Zhang!"
Seeing a fellow disciple wounded, everyone around beca more tense, increasingly at a loss, and the atmosphere grew chaotic.
With more Shanyan Demons around, a total of twenty-six had appeared.
Liu Hanyan and thirty-two others were huddled together, continuously activating magical artifacts, striking at the attacking Shanyan Demons.
Though the Shanyan Demons were strongly defensive, they were still shaken back by the magical artifacts.
"Attacking like that, how can they hope to win?"
Standing with hands behind his back, Lu Ping eyed Liu Hanyan and her group.
As a sect in Qi Kingdom with Jiuhua True Monarch, a Nascent Soul Cultivator, within, Jiuhua Sect couldn’t be underestimated.
The Jiuhua Sect disciples were well established in Qi Kingdom, and now they were here; if he had known, he would have requested two additional Crystallization Stage seniors from the sect to join!
Lu Ping thought to himself, seeing these cultivators struggling with the Shanyan Demons.
Lu Hanyan might be a good match for Lu Yuanshan, he thought, so he might as well help here.
Facing a bunch of Ninth-Layer Qi Cultivation to Foundation Establishnt Stage Shanyan Demons, were no match for him.
Woosh.
Suddenly, under the heavens, with a sweep of broad sleeves, it was as if the skies had darkened, covering the sun, sweeping towards the Shanyan Demons.
