The towering and majestic Green-Eyed Fire Lion moved as swiftly as a fierce gust of wind, pouncing down from a height of ten zhang. Its body seemed to be ablaze with flames, giving the impression that a volcano was crashing down.
“Leave it to me!”
Huan Tianxin clenched his palm, and a small cauldron coalesced above his head. His figure shot out immediately. Even for him, facing an opponent at the Return to Origin Realm required going all out without holding anything back. Now was not the time to keep a low profile. With the integration of the gold, earth, and fire attributes, Huan Tianxin’s offensive and defensive capabilities were undoubtedly formidable.
At that moment, the coiled body of the Golden Thread Spirit Python suddenly swooped down like an arrow. Without hesitation, Xu Ziqian brandished the Heavenly Palace Mirror and charged into the fray. The last of the trio, the Earth Ice Bear, descended from the sky, slamming its massive paws onto the ground. The mountain trembled as two deep craters formed, and the bear charged straight at the group. Ye Wushuang leaped forward to meet the challenge.
“Everyone, don’t just stand there!”
Wu Jun, his burly figure exuding a powerful aura of killing intent, snorted, “The five of us can’t let ourselves down either.” Liang Sier, Xie Xinxin, Yuan Tianzong, and Chao Hongye all nodded in agreement. Individually, they might not have feared one or two fourth-level spirit beasts, but facing two or three dozen was an entirely different matter.
Boom…
In an instant, on the circular platform of the mountainside, flames raged all around, forming a curtain of fire. The eight of them scattered, engaging the spirit beasts in a fierce battle…
In the main hall of the bedroom, Yan Ruyi, Chao Yun’er, Qin Muyu, and Li Wenqing watched the scenes unfold on the jade wall. Earlier, the ten of them had formed a circle in the valley. Now, it appeared they had gathered in one place, with three separated and five grouped together. There were only eight left out of the original ten!
Qin Muyu raised an eyebrow, his face grim. “Four out of twelve are already dead…”
Chao Yun’er’s delicate features were etched with worry. She wondered how Chao Hongye was faring. Was she among the eight?
Yan Ruyi, on the other hand, remained relatively calm. Thank goodness she hadn’t gone! With four already dead, if she had joined them, she might well have been one of the casualties.
Rumble…
On the circular platform, the clash of battle erupted with deafening roars. The impact of Myriad Laws power left cracks and craters across the ground. Ye Wushuang faced the Earth Ice Bear. This fifth-level spirit beast exuded a frigid aura, and its attacks were all related to ice. Every strike sent the earth trembling and unleashed bursts of frosty spiritual energy.
At first, Ye Wushuang countered with the Great Void Thunder Palm technique. Although the might of the thunder was overpowering, the Earth Ice Bear was equally strong. After all, it was a fifth-level spirit beast. Moreover, Ye Wushuang was only at the eighth level of the Myriad Laws Realm. Fighting beyond his level, while the Great Void Thunder Palm was powerful, the Earth Ice Bear was no pushover either. As a result, Ye Wushuang found it difficult to gain the upper hand.
Calmly, Ye Wushuang summoned the Heavenly Evolution Sword. The sword emitted a bright light, and a sharp aura enveloped his entire body. With his mastery of swordsmanship reaching a profound level and being at the eighth level, he should be able to withstand the attacks of the Return to Origin Realm. Besides, spirit beasts were generally inferior to martial artists. Although fifth-level spirit beasts were also at the Return to Origin Realm, they were certainly not as powerful as genuine Return to Origin Realm martial artists.
Hum…
The Heavenly Evolution Sword flashed with light, and the sword qi on its surface carried a faint, scorching aura.
“The fire attribute!”
From a distance, Xie Xinxin felt this and her pretty face changed. She had previously determined that Ye Wushuang had integrated three attributes. Now, there was one more. Four attributes! Such an ability could only be achieved by the top thirty geniuses on the Myriad Laws Ranking. Just how many secrets did this Ye Wushuang still hold?
“Xie Xinxin, what are you thinking about?”
A shout rang out as Yuan Tianzong suddenly punched forward, blocking in front of Xie Xinxin. “Distraction at this moment means death!”
Xie Xinxin immediately snapped out of it, looking at Yuan Tianzong with an apologetic expression. Then she gathered her thoughts and charged back into the battle.
Huan Tianxin engaged the Green-Eyed Fire Lion, and Xu Ziqian clashed with the Golden Thread Spirit Python. Both of them were at the eighth level of the Myriad Laws Realm. With their full strength unleashed and their skills on display, they could hold their own against the fifth-level spirit beasts. After all, they were prodigies on the Myriad Laws Ranking. Among the countless geniuses across the entire Tianyuan Continent, the top one hundred were not renowned for nothing.
Rumble…
The five geniuses led by Wu Jun coordinated their attacks and defenses. Facing the onslaught of two or three dozen fourth-level spirit beasts, although they couldn’t gain the upper hand, they managed to hold their ground for the time being. But they knew it was only a temporary stalemate. Dragging the battle out would be extremely detrimental to them.
At that moment, not far away, the battle between Xu Ziqian and the Golden Thread Spirit Python reached a terrifying intensity. Xu Ziqian, holding the Heavenly Palace Mirror, had shifted from offense to defense. This Golden Thread Spirit Python was not just at the first level of the Return to Origin Realm; it was at least at the second level. Xu Ziqian was struggling to fend off its attacks.
Wu Jun’s face darkened when he saw this.
“Wu Jun, don’t be distracted!”
Liang Sier shouted, “Our opponents are these fourth-level spirit beasts. If we want to help Xu Ziqian, we need to work together and eliminate these fourth-level spirit beasts first!” This was the plan they had agreed upon earlier: the three fifth-level spirit beasts were to be handled by Ye Wushuang, Huan Tianxin, and Xu Ziqian.
“I know!”
Wu Jun roared, his robust body erupting with a powerful aura as he charged back into the fray.
Just then,
Bang…
A dull thud resounded. Xu Ziqian made a misstep and was struck by the python’s tail, sent flying dozens of zhang away. The Golden Thread Spirit Python, its forked tongue flickering, slithered rapidly towards Xu Ziqian.
“Master!”
Seeing this, Wu Jun immediately abandoned his defense against the two fourth-level spirit beasts in front of him, retreating and dashing towards the Golden Thread Spirit Python.
“Beast, get out of the way!”
Wu Jun roared as he threw a powerful punch. But dozens of zhang was a long distance, and it would take time to reach…
Swish swish swish…
Before Wu Jun’s punch could land, streaks of sword qi descended from the sky, slicing between the spirit python and Xu Ziqian.
