"Hmm?"
Ling Chen’s perception was exceptionally sharp. The mont that evil gaze fixated on his back, he promptly turned around. However, when he looked back, he found nothing there.
"What’s wrong?" Liu Feiyue was the closest to Ling Chen and, noticing his unusual behavior, asked in surprise.
"Nothing. It’s probably just my imagination." Ling Chen shook his head. I’ve likely been cooped up for too long and beco overly sensitive, he thought.
"Relax." Xue Wu Ya and Wei Qingyi also smiled. They didn’t know Ling Chen well and assud he was unfamiliar with such places and was thus being overly cautious.
Ling Chen didn’t say much more, just nodded. He couldn’t be bothered to explain further. Perhaps I really am overthinking things, he mused.
With that, he completely dismissed his wariness and walked forward. But just as the group had started to move, a wave of earth suddenly surged up and rapidly approached them. The wave of earth moved extrely fast, reaching the group’s rear in an instant.
"I’d like to see just what kind of vile thing you are!"
When the wave of earth was less than five ters from them, Ling Chen abruptly drew his Thunder Shadow Sword and, like lightning, slashed out behind him, striking the wave of earth.
BANG!
The earth scattered, revealing a black Exotic Beast with a pointed snout and sharp fangs. Suddenly, from the black Exotic Beast’s mouth, a tongue fully ten-odd ters long shot out, aid directly at Ling Chen’s chest.
CLANG!
Ling Chen’s reaction was extrely swift. Moreover, as he was the first to discover the Exotic Beast’s presence, he was prepared for its strange tongue attack. Just as the tongue shot out, he swung his Treasure Sword horizontally, striking the black tongue and knocking it aside.
As he struck with his sword, Ling Chen also retreated explosively, moving back more than ten ters. His gaze fell upon the Exotic Beast. The Exotic Beast in his sight was exceptionally ugly, about two zhang tall. It was clearly a fusion of several highly representative Exotic Beasts. Its entire body was pitch-black and exceedingly smooth. From behind, it resembled a jackal and a dolphin, and also possessed features of other Exotic Beasts.
"What kind of Exotic Beast is this? I’ve never seen it before."
Bai Xu’an, Liu Feiyue, and the others were all astonished. This Exotic Beast was bizarrely shaped; in their mory, they had never seen an Exotic Beast that looked like this.
Why does it feel familiar? Ling Chen wondered, a sense of familiarity stirring within him, as if he had seen this beast sowhere before.
"Sister Xuan, is this beast the murderer?" Liu Feiyue turned her head and asked with a grave expression.
"Most likely." Bai Xu’an’s expression turned sowhat grim. She had seen the murderous Exotic Beast in the Darkness before, and its physique was seventy to eighty percent similar to the one before them.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let’s attack and take it down!"
Xue Wu Ya and Wei Qingyi both drew the Treasure Swords from their waists, unleashing fierce Sword Montum as they attacked. In the blink of an eye, a dense barrage of sword qi enveloped the Exotic Beast.
ROAR!
The ugly Exotic Beast, watching this, had fierce killing intent flash through its crimson eyes. Confronted with the joint attack by Xue Wu Ya and Wei Qingyi, it showed no sign of retreating. Instead, it took a step forward, overwhelming demonic aura surging. Its fang-covered claws, carrying a fetid gust, slamd viciously towards Xue Wu Ya and Wei Qingyi.
The duo’s exceptionally ferocious Sword Lights clashed head-on in mid-air. A loud bang imdiately echoed, and then an astonishing Energy storm instantly swept out. That blast of wind directly pushed Xue Wu Ya and Wei Qingyi back more than ten steps. In contrast, the ugly Exotic Beast stood motionless in its original spot. The formidable combat power of this Exotic Beast was undoubtedly displayed at this mont.
"With just this bit of ability, they dare to cause trouble for an Exotic Demon Beast? They truly don’t know the imnsity of heaven and earth." Not far away, two figures were watching in secret, their laughter filled with disdain and mockery.
The one laughing was Teng Beast; beside him was Dragon Demon Temple.
"Don’t underestimate them," Dragon Demon Temple said with an indifferent gaze. "Liu Feiyue’s strength is said to rival the Sky Apex Realm."
"But isn’t Lord Dragon Demon Temple still here with us?" A smile appeared on Teng Beast’s face, and a lewd light flashed in his eyes. "As long as you make a move, wouldn’t Liu Feiyue be captured easily? It would be even better if we could capture this woman. Such a beauty is quite rare."
"Stop dreaming." A hint of disgust appeared in Dragon Demon Temple’s eyes as he shook his head. "Liu Feiyue is the Disciple of The Master of Cyan Robe Association. That person, The Master of Cyan Robe Association—even the Sect Leader wouldn’t dare offend him. You shouldn’t even think about his Disciple. This idiot, so easily overco by lust, doesn’t even consider who the target is," he thought.
"That The Master of Cyan Robe Association—is he really that powerful?" Teng Beast was a bit disbelieving. Is Dragon Demon Temple trying to build up another’s reputation while diminishing my own? It’s just a secretive fellow; does he need to be hyped up so much? he wondered.
However, while they were conversing, a lodious flute sound suddenly echoed. Then, waves of pleasant, lodious sound rapidly spread out from mid-air, quickly enveloping the Exotic Demon Beast.
"What the hell is that?!" Teng Beast felt his consciousness go sowhat numb and waver for a mont before he sobered up. Then, he quickly looked towards the battle area, his expression sowhat unsightly.
He saw the Exotic Demon Beast’s crimson eyes flash, and it struck out with a palm towards the spreading sound waves. Then, with a CRACK, the sound waves were actually shattered by its palm strike.
However, these sound waves did not dissipate entirely. Like a tide, they dispersed and reford, transforming into wisps and strands that seeped towards the Exotic Demon Beast’s body. Then, the Exotic Demon Beast’s body suddenly stiffened, and its movents also beca sluggish.
"This is our chance!"
Ling Chen’s and Liu Feiyue’s eyes lit up at this sight. Now that the Exotic Demon Beast was ensnared by Bai Xu’an’s Phantasmal lody, it was the best ti for them to attack and kill this beast.
Beneath Liu Feiyue’s feet, a silver Sword Light suddenly flashed explosively. She stepped on the Sword Light and swung her sword. Above the Sword Light, a bright, clear moon appeared, swiftly parting the air before her into two regions, completely cutting it apart.
Ling Chen, on the other hand, executed the Prosperity and Decline technique. His Sword Light was like a star, blooming with its most dazzling brilliance, reaching its peak power, then suddenly thrust out.
BOOM!
Under the restraint of Bai Xu’an’s sound waves, Ling Chen and Liu Feiyue’s combined attack struck the Exotic Demon Beast without any suspense. Instantly, the two Sword Lights burst apart, emitting a deafening sound.
That ferocious Energy shockwave also rapidly spread out from the area where the Exotic Demon Beast was, creating a large hole in the target area.
Dust filled the air. As Ling Chen and the others watched, the dust cloud around the Exotic Demon Beast gradually dispersed. However, the sight of its savage figure still standing tall made their pupils shrink slightly.
This beast was indeed rather troubleso.
