Arc 13: Wild Beast Plains | Chapter 230: Beast Tide

Translator: Lynn

Although these vines are no thicker than a wrist, once they enter a group of wild beasts, they exhibit audacious and daring behavior, akin to a dragon swimming in the sea. Wherever they pass, a sea of blood erupts, stringing countless wild beasts together and swiftly ending their lives. The copious blood within their bodies overwhelms the vines, dripping down the stems with a tick-tock sound, creating a sticky texture and evoking a strange yet magnificent sensation.

The golden sword, even more majestic, effortlessly turns several wild beasts into pulp with each strike. Its slashes traverse all directions, carving numerous sword marks in the air, accompanied by a continuous “chi chi” sound. The sword’s sharp edge pierces through several bodies in succession, leaving a trail of destruction!

The senior-junior pair simultaneously unleashes their supernatural powers, utilizing the wind control technique to hover in mid-air. The demon vines and golden swords showcase their extraordinary abilities. In a short span, hundreds of beasts met their demise at the hands of the duo. However, safety remains elusive.

Perhaps due to misfortune, though the two flanking groups of beasts only consist of one or two-horned creatures, there are a considerable number of red-horned and golden-horned beasts among them. Additionally, some possess peculiar supernatural powers, allowing them to detect cultivators hidden in the air.

Suddenly, a burst of light emerges from the dark mass of wild beasts. It’s a blood mass erupting from the red horn, transforming into a beam of light heading directly towards Xu Ziqing and Yun Lie!

Yun Lie points his sword, raises his hand, and releases a sword intent that collides with the beam of light, obliterating it.

Simultaneously, another golden light emanates from a beast’s golden horn, forming another beam of light with an exceptionally malevolent force. As it pierces the air, black energy is discernible within—a type of poison!

In the past, fleeing cultivators were often struck by these beams of light, succumbing either to the fire poison in the red light or the poisonous gas in the golden light, directly affecting their internal organs.

While Xu Ziqing’s escape technique is swift, he has been hit by several beams of light before, forcing him to halt. Now, he can only engage in an endless battle with the beasts!

The golden beam of light rushes toward Xu Ziqing, but he remains composed, pointing the Qingyun needle between his eyebrows and uttering, “Guh!”

Having practiced the Qingyun Needle extensively, it is now much more potent. It maneuvers several times in the air, colliding with the beam of light.

In an instant, a burst of blue light envelops the golden beam, saturating the surrounding area with a vivid green hue. Stimulated by some force, the nearby weeds grow rapidly, tripping numerous wild beasts.

Witnessing the ineffectiveness of the two beams of light, the wild beasts stir restlessly. Shortly after, they raise their heads again, releasing hundreds of red and golden lights, converging to encircle the duo in the air.

With a mental command from Xu Ziqing, the Qingyun needle multiplies into dozens of green needles, swiftly scattering around him. Emitting blue light, each needle possesses power not inferior to the original, resisting the light beams.

Yun Lie, facing numerous beams of light, releases a mysterious and invisible field with a furrowed brow, covering all directions.

In an instant, the invading rays of light flicker, are crushed into crumbs, and dissipate like the wind!

The two brothers collaborate, executing their moves time and again.

Dozens of cultivators had already gathered in the square, each adorned with a magic weapon. Despite concealing their spiritual light within their bodies, the collective power emanating from the group was extraordinary.

Xu Ziqing and Yun Lie touched down, choosing a corner to stand quietly.

Subsequently, the sky lit up with numerous lights as cultivators, riding spirit beasts and seated on magic weapons, descended and gradually filled the square with people.

Upon a closer count, the cultivators assembled here might number in the tens of thousands!

Shortly afterward, a high-level cultivator took to the sky to explain the rules, ensuring newcomers were informed to avoid careless mistakes that could cost them their lives.

Understanding the instructions, Xu Ziqing realized that, during the battle against the beast horde, those who issued orders, like them, could invite friends and companions to join forces against the beasts. However, a crucial rule was emphasized: no using excuses to engage in unnecessary combat with companions, and harbored grudges shouldn’t be exploited for opportunistic killings. Violators risked imprisonment for at least ten years and up to a maximum of a hundred years, with no chance of release.

The announcement stirred an uproar among the assembled crowd, which then dispersed, seeking out individuals with high power and familiar faces to form teams for the impending battle.

Xu Ziqing, possessing unique abilities, chose not to actively seek cooperation with others. Meanwhile, Yun Lie, with a distant and cold demeanor, deterred many from approaching.

After about half an hour, everyone found their respective companions and regrouped.

The high-ranking cultivator in the sky declared, “Proceed to the city wall. Once the formation is activated, you may leave the city to hunt and demonstrate your magical prowess! This time, three princes will be fighting alongside us under Emperor Yan’s orders. Great contributions could lead to recognition by the dynasty or even acceptance as a guest by the prince, resulting in various rewards. Put in the effort, and you shall reap numerous benefits!” The announcement lifted the spirits of many cultivators.

While others rejoiced, Xu Ziqing remained contemplative but chose not to voice his thoughts.

The high-ranking cultivator then unleashed a thunderous blast, prompting many cultivators to transform into light, heading towards the city wall.

Xu Ziqing and Yun Lie followed suit closely.

Outside the towering city wall, a horde of wild beasts, akin to a sea of black clouds, gathered, densely spreading out for miles. They remained within five miles of the city wall, poised and ready to advance as if awaiting orders that could be given at any moment.

On the city wall, several cultivators raised their hands, casting spells that sent out colorful radiance, impacting various formations. A massive barrier descended, firmly occupying the space in front of the city wall. Following this, several city gates creaked open, revealing a cacophony within. Countless soldiers formed a square formation and stepped out!
