Chapter 143: The Beast Tide [8]

Jin Wei She tightened her grip on her sword, her eyes sharp and focused as she faced the towering beast.

Though the pressure of its aura weighed down on her, threatening to crush her into the ground, she refused to yield.

"It is not as tough as it looks..."

*crash* One of the heron's heads lunged forward, aiming to bite her in half, but Jin Wei twisted mid-air, narrowly avoiding its jagged beak.

*flick* Her sword flashed in the sunlight as she slashed at its flank, blood bursting out of its body.

"GRAARGHH!!!" The beast screeched in pain, its other two heads twisting to face her, purple flames spewing from their mouths.

*woosh* Jin Wei raised her sword and spun, conjuring a whirlwind to shield herself.

*thoom* The flames crashed into the swirling wind, dissipating into harmless embers, but the force of the heron's attack sent her skidding back, her feet digging into the ground to regain balance.

"Quite strong..." she muttered under her breath, feeling the sting of exhaustion creep into her muscles.

*woosh* *woosh* The beast was relentless, and its three heads moved in perfect coordination, making it difficult for her to find an opening.

"KRREECKK!" With a roar, the heron swung its massive talons at her, ripping through the air with terrifying speed.

*woosh* Jin Wei barely managed to dodge, the sharp claws grazing her arm, its sharp nails tearing her skin as blood burst out from her arm.

"Urghhh!!" She winced in pain but didn't falter, knowing that one misstep could mean her death.

Bringing out all of her strength, Jin Wei dashed forward again, this time aiming for one of the heron's wings.

If she could cripple its flight, she'd stand a better chance.

Her sword glowed with the power of wind as she slashed, but just as her blade was about to connect, the heron's tail whipped around with brutal force, catching her off guard.

"Wha-"

*Wham*

"MASTER!!"

The impact sent Jin Wei flying, her body crashing into the ground with a thud.

"ARGH!" Pain shot through her abdomen as she coughed, blood dripping from her lips.

"W-We should quickly leave and treat your injuries."

Jin Wei, however, shook her head "No, Zin'er... wait.. urghh... if we leave, everyone here will die."

"I will take a healing pill and..."

Chen Zin gritted her teeth "I don't care about them... I only care about you, Master. let's fly away from here."

"Hm? That's it? Honestly.. I expected much from you..."

However, at this time, a voice cut through the battlefield and Jin Wei quickly turned her head to look at the back of the man, his white hair floating in the gentle breeze.

Not only her, but everyone noticed the man who suddenly came there.

Seeing him, Ming Yuelin's eyes lit up "Master, you are here."

Hm? Zhang Yuan turned to look at Ming Yuelin and smiled gently "Good work till now, let me take it from now on."

Ming Yuelin pouted her lips and crossed her arms "But you are late..."

With a soft chuckle, he extended his hand and Jin Wei's sword which was on the floor, dashed towards him as he gripped the green hilt of the sword.

Xue Hua smiled faintly looking at Zhang Yuan and stood up.

Zhang Yuan glanced at the smaller beasts around him and flicked his wrist as the remaining small beasts were burned to ashes.

Wha- The people who were watching this were dumbfounded, and their jaws dropped because he did their hours of work in seconds.

"Come on, ascend quickly..." Muttering under his lips, he slashed the sword, and a massive sword aura appeared in the air slashing towards the beast.

*SLEESH* The sharp slash cleaved through one of its wings and it again screamed at the top of its lungs in agony.

*WOOOSSSH** However, at this time,a massive energy suddenly began to swirl around the heron's body pushing away dust and debris in all directions.

Huh? Feeling the pressure radiating from the beast's body, Jin Wei was taken aback and a mutter escaped her lips.

"It is.. ascending."
