Chapter 208: Smashing beasts

Neither Lin Fan and Angela held back as they charged right into the wave of beasts in front of them. However, they didn't continue forward in the same direction since this was a competition, they couldn't just share their kills.

Lin Fan went left and Angela went right.

The beasts in front of them were spread all over when it came to cultivation, but it didn't really matter for the two of them since they were cutting them down like wheat.

The Gold Realm beasts couldn't even take a single hit, collapsing immediately in front of Lin Fan's zweihander and Angela's wind blades.

They all collapsed with a burst of blood as they were sliced right in half. Different chunks of monster flesh and blood rained down all over Lin Fan and Angela, but they both had smiles on their faces as they continued their slaughter.

It was easy at first since the intelligence of a beast increased with its cultivation realm. The Platinum Realm beasts were much smarter and could tell just how dangerous Lin Fan and Angela were.

They did have the order to attack embedded in their minds, but of course they wouldn't just throw themselves to their deaths.

For the Gold Realm beasts that were weaker mentally, they couldn't resist the order in their minds as well as the Platinum Realm beasts. So the Gold Realm beasts were the first ones to charge out at Lin Fan and Angela, only to be completely slaughtered.

The Platinum Realm beasts learned from the mistakes of these pitiful Gold Realm beasts.

There were a few Platinum Realm beasts that tried to be sneaky and attack while Lin Fan and Angela were fighting the Gold Realm beasts, but all of them were only in the mid Platinum Realm. Before they even knew what had happened, they too had been slaughtered by these two humans.

The fighting continued for a full five minutes and by the end of it, three hundred Gold Realm beast corpses were covering the ground. There wasn't a single Gold Realm beast that was left.

There were even quite a few Platinum Realm beast corpses that were on the ground as well. These were all the ones who had tried to be sneaky and ambush them.

But still there were over a hundred and fifty beasts left and none of them was below the mid Platinum Realm. In fact, there were a hundred of them that were all in the peak Platinum Realm.

Those peak Platinum Realm beasts still didn't move forward since they still couldn't see through Lin Fan and Angela, so they had the rest of the mid Platinum Realm beasts go.

The mid Platinum Realm beasts knew that they couldn't take these humans on individually and charging them as a group wouldn't work unless they coordinated with each other, so they split into groups based on abilities that would work well together.

Still, even so, these groups were easily taken care of by Lin Fan and Angela.

Both of them were already fighting at a peak Platinum Realm level and these coordinated attacks by these mid Platinum Realm beasts could only take on a high Platinum Realm expert. Their coordinated attacks were easily broken through and eventually all of them were cut down as well.

All of this took two minutes.

Finally, there were only the hundred peak Platinum Realm beasts left.

They knew that they didn't have a choice, but they didn't want to be the first to go forward.

They could tell that while they would be able to match the current level of power these humans demonstrated, it was also clear that they still had power hidden with how relaxed they were. If they were to charge in recklessly, it would mean that they would be cut down before they even knew what had happened.

Then it seemed like there was a tacit understanding between them, but the beasts began spreading out in a pattern that surrounded Lin Fan and Angela. In this pattern, it seemed like every beast had their own place and every beast had their own function.

The beasts were actually forming a battle array!

The peak Platinum Realm beast group drew in some of the subordinates that Lord Jin had brought with him and these subordinates were all well trained. Lord Jin had even trained the art of battle arrays into them.

These were the elite troops of the Beast Clan, it was easy for them to get the peak Platinum Realm beasts of the planar crack to obey their orders. To take down these elite troops of the Beast Clan, it definitely wasn't an easy task.

Most of the beasts in the planar crack actually had seals placed on their souls before they even entered the planar cracks.

Even if the Beast Clan allowed them to enter the planar cracks to gain their own power, of course they wouldn't just let them run free. Most of these beasts driven to planar cracks were driven there because of discrimination against their bloodlines. This would of course lead to hatred being formed towards the Beast Clan.

If these ticking time bombs were to be released into the planar crack and they one day met a fortuitous encounter, allowing them to become an expert, that would come to bite the Beast Clan in the butt.

So they had to find a way to control these beasts if this ever came up.

As the elite troops of the Beast Clan, these troops naturally represented the will of the entire Beast Clan. As such, they were given the method of controlling the seals that were inside these planar crack beasts.

This formation was one that was quite simple, but also it was quite effective.

This was a formation that relied on relentless attacks while forming an iron wall in front to trap the enemies.

The beasts that had more attack power were all placed in the back where they rained down their attacks on Lin Fan and Angela.

The beasts that were placed in the front specialized more in defense. These beasts didn't unleash a single attack, all they did was gather all their life energy into their defenses to create an impenetrable wall.

As for the beasts in the middle, these were support type beasts that pushed all their life energy to the defensive beasts in front. They provided as much energy as they could to strengthen the defenses in front of them.

After dodging the attacks that rained down on them, Lin Fan and Angela both released their attacks on the defensive wall in front of them, but they were surprised to find that they couldn't even make a single dent. Their attacks were already at the peak Platinum Realm level, just a single step away from reaching the Legendary Realm.

It really showed just how effective this array was, it could even allow these Platinum Realm beasts to match a Legendary Realm opponent. Albeit, this was only an opponent who was in the Primary Soul Realm, one who wasn't even in the Fragmented Soul Realm. But still, it was amazing enough that this array enhanced their powers by this much.

Lin Fan and Angela both looked at each other with smiles before they suddenly changed their attacks.

There was a second white glow that appeared around Lin Fan's sword as he injected his second law.

As for Angela, with a snap of her fingers, the wind blades that had gathered around her suddenly turned invisible. If one didn't know better, they would have thought that she had released them, but one could still tell that it was there based on the breeze they could feel.

Once again, both of them unleashed their attacks, but this time it didn't end the same.

Not only did it make a dent, it completely cut through the defenses of the beasts.

With the increased power of their attacks, they had reached the level of the Fragmented Soul Realm, which was not something the array of these beasts could compare to.

Their array was only at the Primary Soul Realm, which was actually just a half step into the Legendary Realm. The Fragmented Soul Realm was the true beginning of the Legendary Realm and these were two completely different concepts.

In the end, the Legendary Realm and the half step Legendary Realm were completely different, it was still like heaven and earth.

Lin Fan and Angela sliced right through the battle array of these beasts, completely scattering them.

When these beasts saw that their array had been destroyed, there was a look of despair that filled their eyes, but they had no choice. The seal in their souls only gave them two options, to win or to die.

Even the subordinates of Lord Jin weren't given different options.

Lord Jin was a very serious man when it came to his subordinates, he expected them to fulfill their task or to die trying, that was why he had treated them the same as the planar crack beasts. If they were unable to kill Lin Fan and Angela, their only other choice was to face death.

Since they had no other choice, the only thing these beasts could do was charge at Lin Fan and Angela and hope for the best, but that never came. This charge was their final charge in life and they could only be filled with regret over the fact that they were chosen over their comrades by Lord Jin.

All of this took three minutes.

By the end of it, only ten minutes had passed, but Lin Fan and Angela had slain five hundred beasts between the high Gold Realm and the peak Platinum Realm with ease.
