On either side of the valley entrance, the Swallowing Flame Tiger and the Green-Scaled Beast stood ten zhang away from the entrance, one on the left and the other on the right. Neither of the two massive beasts made a move first; they simply stared at each other across the twenty-zhang distance. Despite living in close proximity, they both harbored a mutual wariness.

But at that moment, Li Yuan charged out. Neither of the giant beasts moved. Li Yuan’s heart skipped a beat, and he immediately turned back, shouting, “Everyone, hurry! They haven’t——”

But at that very moment, the Swallowing Flame Tiger suddenly opened its mouth and sprayed out a burst of intense heat. The scorching flames transformed into a wave of fire, instantly charring Li Yuan’s body into charred meat. Meanwhile, the Green-Scaled Beast raised its paw and swiped out, unleashing a blade forged from green spiritual energy. With a series of sickening *thwacks*, the several people who had followed behind Li Yuan were torn into pieces, their limbs and remains falling to the ground.

In an instant, the others who had been preparing to charge out saw the seven or eight people turn into corpses in the blink of an eye and quickly retreated back.

Zhu Yushu’s face turned pale with terror, and he was drenched in sweat. The fellow disciple in front of him, who was at the eighth level of the Yuanfu realm, had been pierced through by the green blade. It had been a near miss; he could have easily become part of those scattered remains.

It was too terrifying! Third-class mid-level spiritual beasts, with strengths ranging from the fourth to sixth levels of the Tian Gang realm, were simply not something that those at the Yuanfu realm could contend with. Although these spiritual beasts had not yet condensed the Tian Gang energy, their physical bodies were already incredibly powerful, and their spiritual energy attacks were ferocious and brutal.

“What… what do we do now?” a disciple trembled.

The only way out of the valley was blocked. The two powerful spiritual beasts would definitely not wait like this forever. Once these two giants charged in, they would all be doomed!

Zhu Yushu looked at the dozen or so survivors and had a plan in mind.

“Everyone, calm down!” Zhu Yushu said, “Panicking won’t help now!”

“Staying here and waiting is as good as death. It might be better for all of us to charge out together and unleash our strongest spiritual techniques to attack those two beasts. Maybe we’ll have a chance to survive…”

Shui Wanrong’s face turned ugly upon hearing this. “But how many of us can actually escape like this?”

Zhu Yushu’s voice deepened. “As many as can escape will escape. It’s better than all of us dying here, isn’t it?”

Shui Wanrong’s face turned even uglier. Both she and Zhu Yushu were at the top level of the ninth Yuanfu realm; their chances of escaping were quite high. However, the other disciples had trusted them and fought alongside them. If they really adopted this method, it would be using their lives as a gamble for their own survival.

The other disciples also understood what Zhu Yushu meant. In times of great disaster, everyone for themselves; whoever was lucky enough would survive. The disciples looked at Zhu Yushu, anger rising in their hearts. But at this critical moment of life and death, no one dared to get angry with Zhu Yushu, for fear of being dragged out as a shield.

Outside the valley, Su Jinyue saw several disciples from Lingjian Mountain being killed. Looking at the Swallowing Flame Tiger and the Green-Scaled Beast, which seemed to be losing patience, she became even more anxious.

At that moment, Ye Wushuang spoke up: “We should charge into the valley first!”

Charge into the valley?

Isn’t that suicide?

“You just held me back, and now you’re saying this. Isn’t that still walking into the trap?” Su Jinyue couldn’t help but say.

“It’s not the same!”

Ye Wushuang produced two jade bottles as if by magic.

“What’s this?”

“Spiritual beast blood!”

Ye Wushuang smiled. “It’s the bone marrow blood of a second-class spiritual beast, the Bloodthirsty Corrupt Bat.”

Bloodthirsty Corrupt Bat’s bone marrow blood?

What was the use of this?

Ye Wushuang continued, “Smear this blood on our bodies. When it combines with our bodies, it will emit a foul odor that smells like a mix of human blood and Bloodthirsty Corrupt Bat blood.”

“This foul smell is something both the Swallowing Flame Tiger and the Green-Scaled Beast detest.”

“We can use this opportunity to charge into the valley. Once we’re in, I have a way to get out safely.”

Su Jinyue’s delicate brows furrowed.

Was this for real?

But seeing that the Swallowing Flame Tiger and the Green-Scaled Beast seemed to be losing patience, Su Jinyue knew there was no time to hesitate.

Without further ado, Ye Wushuang handed Su Jinyue a bottle of Bloodthirsty Corrupt Bat’s bone marrow blood and then smeared it on his face, hands, and legs. Soon, a foul odor began to emanate from Ye Wushuang’s body.

“What is this smell!” Su Jinyue gagged. “It’s too disgusting…”

“Are we rescuing them or not?” Ye Wushuang said directly. “If we’re not rescuing, then don’t bother smearing it on. Just leave.”

“Rescue!”

Suppressing the urge to gag, Su Jinyue began to apply the blood.

Quickly, the foul smell around the two of them grew even more unbearable.

“Charge!”

Ye Wushuang grabbed Su Jinyue’s delicate wrist, and the two figures moved close to the ground at an extremely fast speed, rushing to the valley entrance.

The pungent odor caused the Swallowing Flame Tiger and the Green-Scaled Beast to actually retreat a few zhang back for a moment, and they did not attack the two.

Inside the valley, Zhu Yushu was about to lead the others to charge out when two figures, reeking of the foul smell, burst in directly.

“Who?” Zhu Yushu’s face turned cold as he raised his spear to confront them.
