The mountain range they were in was far away from the towns, and the trees covered the sky. As soon as the group entered the forest, they felt a cold chill down their spines.

Liu Ying didn't feel like she was being cautious at all. Her entire face was filled with eagerness, as her eyeballs flew all over the place, "Gu Qing, are there really second or third level Demonic Beast s here?"

They were all disciples of the Meditation Stage and had at most seen a level one Demonic Beast in the past. This was the first time they were about to come into contact with a high ranking Demonic Beast at a close distance.

"If you want to be their middle meal, you can make it louder." Gu Qing said casually, her gaze observing her surroundings.

"Senior Martial Brother Liu …"

Just then, a few junior sisters who liked to follow behind Liu Ying and be deceived by her male attire walked over, "Senior Brother, can we follow you? There are Level 2 or 3 Demonic Beast here, we are worried that we won't be able to handle them."

"Great!" "Yes..." Liu Ying just replied and was about to say that with Gu Qing here, she was not afraid of the Demonic Beast. However, when she turned her head, Gu Qing's figure was nowhere to be seen.

Gu Qing did not plan to cooperate with others, since she was going out to train, relying on herself was the best way to temper herself.

With a flash, she entered the forest.

Roar …

After walking for a while, they heard the roars of Demonic Beast from the forest not far away.

She lowered her movement and carefully approached. She saw a Iron Palm Bear patting the trunk of a huge tree. Looking up, she saw a spotted leopard crouching on the trunk of the tree. It was also a Level Two Demonic Beast.

Glimmers danced in her eyes as she carefully retreated. She didn't attract the attention of the two beasts.

However, she did not go far. Instead, she hid in the nearby lush thickets and waited quietly.

The Iron Palm Bear continued to beat the thick tree trunk. In less than a quarter of an hour, half of the tree that needed two people's arms was broken by the bear, leaving the rest of the tree trunk swaying to support itself.

Perhaps the spotted leopard sensed the approaching danger, it jumped down from the sky and opened its huge mouth, its sharp fangs biting onto the Iron Palm Bear's thick back.

Roar …

The Iron Palm Bear was in pain, and it started to sway crazily. At the same time, it stretched out its hand to slap the spotted leopard.

The weakest amongst the second stage Demonic Beast was comparable to the middle stage of Qi Disciple, and the strongest was almost comparable to cultivators at the late stage of Qi Disciple.

Although Gu Qing was a cultivator at the late stage of Qi Disciple, she was only at the peak of Qi Disciple Level 7. If she had a chance to fight one of them, she could only flee for her life.

The two Level 2 Demonic Beast fought with all their might. Even Gu Qing felt dazzled by the fight, the forest ahead was almost completely destroyed. The Iron Palm Bear's body was covered in blood, but the spotted leopard was not feeling any better. Both of its legs had been broken, and its movements had obviously slowed down.

Having reached the final deciding stage, the Iron Palm Bear roared at the sky and charged at the spotted leopard. The spotted leopard tried to escape, but its broken leg limited its speed. Almost at the same time it struggled to move, the Iron Palm Bear's huge body suddenly rammed towards it.

Gu Qing personally saw the spotted leopard's body fly backwards and heavily crash to the ground without any signs of life.

The Iron Palm Bear breathed heavily, puffing out white gas from its thick nostrils. It licked the wounds on its body as it approached the spotted leopard.

When he arrived beside the spotted leopard, it smacked the spotted leopard's body with its palm. It then dug out a demon core and was about to stuff it into its mouth, the hidden Gu Qing suddenly exploded.

The flames shooting out from the Fire Luan burned the hair on the Iron Palm Bear's palm to ashes. It turned its head towards Gu Qing in pain and roared at him.

However, the wound on the Iron Palm Bear's body had lost a lot of momentum.

Gu Qing had always known that in this world, the strong preyed on the weak. If she wasn't strong enough, she would end up like the spotted leopard, so she naturally wouldn't hold back against the heavily injured Iron Palm Bears. Her eyes turned cold and the spell in her hand continued to fly out.

The Iron Palm Bear roared angrily from within the sea of flames, attempting to break out of the encirclement. However, Gu Qing's figure blurred and the spirit energy in her hand transformed into a sword, piercing the Iron Palm Bear's neck.

Roar …

The Iron Palm Bear let out a blood-curdling screech, and its huge body slowly fell to the ground.

Gu Qing immediately turned her head to look in every direction. Only after discovering that there were no Demonic Beast around and no one around him, did she finally relax and put away the Iron Palm Bear and the spotted leopard's demon core.

Her cultivation was only at Qi Disciple level 7. Although it was not easy for her to handle level 2 Demonic Beast by herself, she could still barely handle it.

Thus, very quickly, she was able to kill five Level Two Demonic Beast.

High leveled Demonic Beast s were rare in this region, and although there were many Level Three Demonic Beast, they wouldn't be easily encountered by ordinary Meditation Stage disciples.

After killing the demon core, Gu Qing slowly retreated towards a place where there were more Huaqing Palace disciples.

Just as she was about to step back, she heard a sound from behind her.

Gu Qing turned her head sharply, just in time to meet Huang Yan's gloomy gaze.

Gu Qing squinted, and looked straight into Huang Yan's eyes. Their gazes had only just met, when Huang Yan turned and entered the forest.

"Gu Qing, Gu Qing, quickly come and help." Liu Ying was busy dealing with a Level 2 Demonic Beast, while the Junior Brothers and Sisters did not dare to get close, and only cast their spells at Level 2 Demonic Beast from afar.

In the middle of the group was a second stage Wind-chasing Wolf. Gu Qing had interacted with Level One Wind-chasing Wolf before, so it was not hard to deal with them.

"Luckily you came. This thing's speed was too fast, I almost used up all the spirit energy in my body."

Gu Qing had long seen the Wind-chasing Wolf's speed, and upon hearing that, she said: "Next time, if you meet a Wind-chasing Wolf, hide away." After Gu Qing finished speaking, he continued to walk forward.

However, Liu Ying said: "Aren't you coming with us?"

Of course, Gu Qing was not stupid enough to be together with them. Together with Liu Ying, there were a total of three female disciples at the second or third level of Qi Cultivating Stage. Counting them, they had to fight a total of twenty Level Two demon core.

With their speed, it was still unknown how long they were going to fight for. Since she had the time, she might as well search the nearby area for a LV 2 Demonic Beast. After putting it away, her precious pendant had been starved for a long time, so it was about time for her to eat something good.

After Gu Qing collected two more Level Two demon core, she went around the crowd and looked for Demonic Beast a little further away.

She walked further and further away. Suddenly, a panicked voice came from behind her, "Senior Sister, Senior Sister Gu, quickly save me!"

Gu Qing immediately turned her head and saw a level 4 Qi Disciple disciple being chased by a huge python, approaching him.

It was actually a Heaven Swallowing Python!

Gu Qing's expression suddenly changed. She had seen Demonic Beast Zhi, so she knew that Heaven Swallowing Python was at least at the third level. She was only at the peak of the seventh level of Qi Cultivating Stage, how could she contend against a Demonic Beast that was comparable to Foundation Period!

Seeing this, she also immediately ran.

"Senior, quickly save me!" The Meditation Stage disciple seemed to have confirmed her. He didn't run towards the crowded direction but continued to chase after her.

At this moment, Gu Qing felt a chill behind her. She subconsciously turned her head, only to find that her junior brother who was following behind her had disappeared.

What was going on? Could it be that the Heaven Swallowing Python had swallowed the Junior Brother?

Heaven Swallowing Python s do not grow in terms of speed and their bodies are huge. If she is entangled, there is no doubt that she will die!

Even if the Heaven Swallowing Python did not grow out in terms of speed, it was still comparable to a disciple at the peak of the seventh level of Meditation Stage. Therefore, no matter how Gu Qing fled, it always followed right behind him.

Something was not right!

The coldness behind her always remained, and from time to time, she would turn her head to glance at the Heaven Swallowing Python, only to feel an excited and restless feeling from its scarlet eyes.

After running for a period of time, not only did Gu Qing not abandon the Heaven Swallowing Python but she also closed the distance between them.

This distance was enough for Heaven Swallowing Python to launch an attack.

Pow!

A wave of Astral Wind streaked across her back, and she was sent flying by it.

The Heaven Swallowing Python's Reckless Tail was originally smashing towards Gu Qing, but she had dangerously avoided it, causing a deep crater to form on the ground behind her.

The Heaven Swallowing Python did not give her any time to react, it immediately twisted its huge body and moved over. Gu Qing got up and ran away.

What a joke, for Demonic Beast with Foundation Period, even killing ten of them would be enough! She didn't have any thoughts of resisting. There was only one thing on her mind – run!

However, under the repeated attacks of the Heaven Swallowing Python, her speed was restricted and she gradually fell into the range of the Heaven Swallowing Python's attacks.

Pow!

This time, the tail hit her back. Even though she had used her spiritual qi to protect the back of her heart, she was still hit by the palm to the point that her blood was tumbling and she spat out a mouthful of blood.

Maybe because it had smelled the blood scent, the Heaven Swallowing Python's scarlet eyes became even more excited. Its tongue continuously moved around Gu Qing, as if it was thinking of a way to eat it.

When Gu Qing came back to her senses, she realized that she had been controlled by the Heaven Swallowing Python and there was no way to escape.

Since she couldn't escape, she could only give it her all.

Luan Fire Technique!

The Fire Luan instantly appeared above her head, a blazing flame shooting towards the Heaven Swallowing Python.

The Heaven Swallowing Python seemed to have received a shock and immediately retreated to Gu Qing's side. However, the flames did not disappear. Instead, they continued to spread around the Heaven Swallowing Python, turning it into a sea of fire in an instant.

Gu Qing saw that the Heaven Swallowing Python was slightly relieved from the fear of fire, but in the blink of an eye, it discovered that the Heaven Swallowing Python did not reveal a single hint of pain within the flames. A trace of doubt flashed past its scarlet eyes, perhaps sensing that the flames were not as terrifying as it had imagined, it immediately twisted its huge body and came closer.

When the Fire Luan technique was useless, Gu Qing immediately used Misty Rain Sword.

Her figure disappeared in the blink of an eye, going back and forth in the smoke, the sword formed from spirit energy was close to the wind as she slashed towards the reckless body of the Heaven Swallowing Python.

Clang... Clang... Clang...

The sound of metal and stone rang out, but the Heaven Swallowing Python's brute force did not leave any trace.

The expression on Gu Qing's face had already completely stiffened. Misty Rain Sword was her last killing move.

Did the heavens want her to die?

The Heaven Swallowing Python was enraged by the little ant in front of it, with a sweep of its tail, it directly smashed Gu Qing's body away.

Puff …

A large amount of fresh blood dyed her clothes red, Gu Qing could not care about her injuries, she immediately struggled to stand up, and in the moment that Mang Wei smacked him again, she rushed out with her Astral Wind.

A strong fishy smell filled his nostrils as he quickly thought of a countermeasure in his mind.
