“Would you like to add more to the package?” Xu Fan squinted at the Invincible Beast King, who was trapped by the Wind and Thunder Yin-Yang Five Elements Sword Formation.
The only response was the furious roar of the Invincible Beast King.
The sword formation transformed into a cage, firmly trapping the Invincible Beast King of the Evil Shadow Leopard Tribe.
The grand formation cast by Hidden Spirit Island sealed off the surrounding space.
At the same time, the sword formation itself had the power to seal space.
“Don’t worry, I’ll leave you with a complete corpse.”
Using the sword formation, Xu Fan targeted the Invincible Beast King’s vital points, damaging his spirit.
He was careful not to harm even a single hair on the beast’s body.
The dark leopard pattern looked incredibly refined; any damage would ruin its perfection.
Spiritual Swords infused with wind and thunder attributes darted rapidly around the Invincible Beast King.
The two swords merged in an instant, striking like lightning and piercing straight through the Invincible Beast King’s skull.
A mournful cry echoed throughout the holy city.
All members of the Evil Shadow Leopard Tribe turned their eyes toward the center of the holy city, where the overwhelming power of the sword formation radiated. Their gazes were filled with sorrow and resolve.
They knew their Grand Elder had been slain.
“The Grand Elder moves so fast—this is the Invincible Beast King we’re talking about!” Spirit Cut Elder, in the midst of battle, stole a glance at the center of the holy city.
In that moment, the beast king of the Evil Shadow Leopard Tribe seized the opportunity and tore off Spirit Cut Elder’s arm.
“Do you need help, Spirit Cut Elder?” Xu Fan’s voice reached him.
“Thank you, Grand Elder, but I’m fine.”
The Five Elements Spiritual Domain surrounding Spirit Cut Elder transformed into powerful Five Elements Divine Techniques, crashing down toward the Evil Shadow Beast King.
“Even though my fighting strength has surpassed its peak, I still haven’t fully mastered the Five Elements Spiritual Domain.”
With a wave of his hand, a Fire Phoenix and an Ice Phoenix formed within the Five Elements Spiritual Domain.
They shot toward the Evil Shadow Beast King and collided with each other.
A small mushroom cloud rose, engulfing the beast king in a mix of searing heat and freezing ice.
Finally, a giant blade descended from the sky, aiming straight for the beast king.
Spirit Cut Elder now held a broadsword formed from the Five Elements Spiritual Domain.
“I still prefer the feel of a broadsword,” he said, gripping the five-colored blade as he charged at the Evil Shadow Beast King.
While waiting for the return of another Invincible Beast King from the Evil Shadow Leopard Tribe, Xu Fan glanced at Spirit Cut Elder.
“It seems the transition from warrior to mage still needs some work,” Xu Fan remarked with a smile.
He then turned his gaze toward the distance, focusing on the outermost edge of the holy city.
The third-generation disciples were pumped up, working together with precision to take down one Evil Shadow Leopard after another.
Xu Fan glanced over at another area where the outer disciples were handling their part.
“Grape, who do you think will come out on top?” Xu Fan asked with interest.
“The outer disciples have a slight edge. They’ve sent their top 1,000 from the Outer Sect,” Grape replied.
“Their overall fighting strength is stronger than the top 1,000 third-generation disciples.”
“Looks like they’re in for a rough patch,” Xu Fan said, a faint smile crossing his face, mirrored on the sword formation puppet.
Meanwhile, the Jade Light Beast King was shielding a group of Spirit Rabbits in a small town on the outskirts of the holy city.
Both the Evil Shadow Leopard Tribe and the Hidden Spirit Sect Disciples avoided this area entirely.
It was as if this place was a no-fight zone.
“Lord Jade Light, is the Hidden Spirit Sect really as great as you say?” a gray little rabbit asked, its eyes wide and hopeful.
“Absolutely. I’ve been with the Hidden Spirit Sect for over a thousand years. With a bit more cultivation, I’ll ascend to the higher realm and meet our ancestors,” the Jade Light Beast King said with a smile.
“Just stay safe here until the battle ends, and I’ll take you all back to the Hidden Spirit Sect.”
“There, all your hard work will be fairly rewarded,” she added, looking at the struggling Spirit Rabbits.
When she arrived at the Spirit Rabbit Clan’s home, she was taken aback.
The rundown cave, the poor conditions, the Spirit Rabbits barely surviving on grass, and not a single Core Formation stage among them.
“Is it true, Lord Jade Light, that we can eat ordinary Spiritual Fruits and Water Spirit Carrots freely?” another gray little rabbit asked.
“Of course! Work hard, and you’ll have all that and more,” the Jade Light Beast King said, gently patting the nearest little rabbit.
She sighed quietly. In the demon race, the rabbit clan was at the very bottom.
Though numerous, they were mostly used as servants by the larger clans, doing menial tasks without any dignity.
The powerful clans could kill rabbits on a whim without consequence.
“The battle should be over soon.”
The Jade Light Beast King recalled that this fight was expected to last about two hours.
Elsewhere, the Purple Jade Flood Dragon, lying in wait in the demon race, suddenly got word that the Evil Shadow Leopard Tribe was under attack by the human race.
The Purple Jade Flood Dragon thought about descending in its true form to intervene but hesitated after noticing the crack on the Ten Thousand Rao Sky Mirror.
“Human artifact great master, you’ll regret crossing me.”
“Even if you submit to the beast race, I’ll skin you and tear your soul, making you suffer for a thousand years.”
The Purple Jade Flood Dragon, hidden in the shadows, wore a cold expression.
This hunt for the human artifact great master had cost it dearly.
As a top-tier Invincible Beast King in the demon race, failing to assassinate a human artifact great master was a blow.
Worse, the human artifact great master had come after it.
Its kin had been slaughtered, and it had been outmaneuvered by that human artifact great master.
What was the reason behind all this?
The Purple Jade Flood Dragon pondered.
It seemed to trace back to the words of the heavenly stone artifact great master.
“I think I walked right into a trap,” the Purple Jade Flood Dragon muttered.
Meanwhile, the battle with the Evil Shadow Leopard Tribe was winding down, but Xu Fan still hadn’t seen another Invincible Beast King.
“Too scared to come back?” Xu Fan wondered.
He regretted not leaving a trace to lure the other Invincible Beast King over.
Unbeknownst to Xu Fan, the dying Invincible Beast King of the Evil Shadow Leopard Tribe had sent a message using their clan’s secret technique to another Wujie.
As the holy city fell silent, only distant sounds of battle remained.
“Next time, I’ll need to play it smarter. Act a bit weaker at first,” Xu Fan thought.
A swirl of five-colored spiritual energy appeared beside Xu Fan, forming into Spirit Cut.
Spirit Cut looked rough, with a deep claw wound on his chest.
“Seems my cultivation still has a ways to go,” Spirit Cut sighed, taking some healing spirit pills.
“You’re doing great, Spirit Cut Elder. That beast king you faced had 1.5 times your former fighting strength,” Xu Fan said with a smile.
“Fighting strength can be measured like that?”
