CHAPTER 470: CHAPTER 440: HAN YUANQING’S KILLING INTENT

In the following days, Tier Two Demon Beasts have indeed appeared again.

Among the team, there are a total of six individuals whose cultivation has reached the Foundation Establishment Stage.

Lu Yuanshan, Zhiwei, Xu Shouye, Xuu Qingci, and Han Yuanqing naturally need no further mention.

The remaining Foundation Establishment Cultivator is Elder Zhao of the Fuyao Sect.

With six Foundation Establishment Cultivators defending a region, such a formation is already considerable.

Previously in Cold Water Town, among the team of Spirit Sword Sect cultivators, there was only one Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Lin Zhiyin.

Three Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts appeared upstream of the Black Flood Dragon River, spotted from a distance by the patrol squad, who immediately reported this intelligence to Han Yuanqing.

Upon receiving the news, Han Yuanqing pondered for a moment, a trace of slyness flashing in his eyes undetected by others, as he gazed at the members of the Cyan Mountain Sect.

"Three Tier Two Demon Beasts, with such an array, we only need to send three Foundation Establishment Cultivators to handle them."

"I think it would be best to let Sect Leader Lu and Fellow Daoist Zhiwei accompany me."

Clearing the appearing Tier Two Demon Beasts is a duty that cannot be shirked.

Hearing Han Yuanqing’s suggestion, Lu Yuanshan and Zhiwei did not say much; they decided to join Han Yuanqing to tackle the three Tier Two Demon Beasts.

The assault of three late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators would suffice.

The remaining Xuu Qingci, Xu Shouye, and Elder Zhao could stay behind to manage any sudden situations.

The probability of Demon Beast appearances is random, so naturally, it’s impossible for all six Foundation Establishment Cultivators to go to one place; a few must stay behind to handle suddenly appearing Tier Two Demon Beasts.

"Thank you both, Fellow Daoists; there’s no time to lose, let’s set off immediately."

Han Yuanqing displayed a serious demeanor, showing a hint of impatience.

The three, following the information, wielded magical artifacts and advanced over ten miles along the upper reach of the Black Flood Dragon River.

Soon, they spotted the figures of the three Tier Two Demon Beasts.

The three beasts included two late-stage Foundation Establishment Wolf Demon and Snake Demon, and one mid-stage Foundation Establishment Cat Demon.

Upon seeing these three beasts, Han Yuanqing and his companions exchanged glances but did not hesitate, ready to strike quickly to clean up.

"I’ll handle that Snake Demon."

"The remaining two will be up to you two siblings."

With those words, irrespective of Lu Yuanshan and Zhiwei’s agreement, Han Yuanqing was the first to make a move, wielding a silver Flying Sword directly towards the Wolf Demon.

The insights of the Demon Beasts were extremely keen, and upon the arrival of the human cultivators wielding magical artifacts, they immediately perceived the presence of the three Human Race cultivators.

They bared their fangs and made swift movements, exhibiting a bloodthirsty and violent scene, launching an attack toward the three.

"Be careful, little sister."

Lu Yuanshan informed Zhiwei, then unsheathed the Golden Crow Sword.

Nearby, Lu Ping followed quietly, hovering at a distance with interest.

As brother and sister made their move, though the opponents were not very powerful, presenting no real risk, with nothing else to do, Lu Ping came along to take a look.

The Golden Crow Sword, under his magical power, burst forth with strong Golden Crow Sword Qi, slashing towards an attacking Wolf Demon.

The strength of this Wolf Demon was two small realms lower compared to Lu Yuanshan.

Lu Yuanshan, in the eighth layer of the Foundation Establishment Stage, could easily slay ninth-layer Foundation Establishment Demon Beasts; his current strength had been elevated to the ninth layer.

With such strength from Lu Yuanshan, it was naturally effortless to deal with the sixth-layer Foundation Establishment Wolf Demon.

Facing the approaching Golden Crow Sword from Lu Yuanshan, the Demon Beast did not dodge but instead leaped up, wielding a Wolf Claw, fiercely striking towards the Golden Crow Sword.

This claw, able to withstand the attack of a Tier Two Spiritual Artifact, underestimated Lu Yuanshan, and such blocking was nothing short of a futile attempt, digging its own grave.

With a squelching sound.

This directly inflicted pain on the Wolf Demon, its claw instantly torn open by one sword strike from the Golden Crow Sword, blood splattering everywhere.

Injured in one blow, the Wolf Demon did not act recklessly, knowing it was no match for Lu Yuanshan. Immediately it turned, ignoring the severed claw on the ground and rushing toward the upper reaches of the Black Flood Dragon River.

Lu Yuanshan naturally wouldn’t let the Wolf Demon escape; after all, it was a hundred points of battle merit.

Whoosh!

The Golden Crow Sword pursued relentlessly, hunting down the fleeing Wolf Demon.

The speed of this sword was incredibly swift, reaching the Wolf Demon in just an instant.

Even as the Wolf Demon used its Demon Power Defense to block, it was still unable to withstand the Golden Crow Sword’s attack and was split open by one strike.

With repeated squelches.

On the other side, Zhiwei’s battle also progressed, with the sound of flesh and blood exploding echoing.

She wielded the Cyan Cold Mirror, slaying the Cat Demon on the spot.

With no more than three moves.

After each slaying a Demon Beast, Lu Yuanshan and Zhiwei put away their magical artifacts, standing shoulder to shoulder.

The siblings turned their gaze toward Han Yuanqing, watching the battle situation of the Fuyao Sect Elder.

The Snake Demon Han Yuanqing was dealing with was over ten zhang long, as thick as a person, covered entirely in black scales, with snake eyes the size of copper bells.

Under Han Yuanqing’s fierce onslaught, the Snake Demon was no match for him.

Unlike Lu Yuanshan and Zhiwei, when dealing with the Snake Demon, Han Yuanqing utilized not only one magical artifact but wielded a Large Net Spiritual Artifact and a Black Flying Sword simultaneously.

With such an attack, the Large Net Spiritual Artifact unfurled with a loud crash, locking the Snake Demon within as it spanned the air.

Next, the Black Flying Sword pierced directly towards the Snake Demon, penetrating it at its most vulnerable spot.

The three Demon Beasts were no match for Lu Yuanshan and his team, quickly getting completely wiped out.

However, after slaying the Demon Snake, Han Yuanqing didn’t stop, glancing at Lu Yuanshan and Zhiwei intentionally.

At this moment, the net that had wrapped around the Demon Beast suddenly flew up, heading towards Lu Yuanshan and Zhiwei, enshrouding them.

At that moment, both Lu Yuanshan and Zhiwei were taken aback, evidently not expecting Han Yuanqing to make such a sudden move.

Having slain the Demon Beasts, this attack against themselves was clearly no joke.

In a critical moment, with no time to contemplate the reasons behind it, they had to react and resist Han Yuanqing’s strike.

Once the Large Net Spiritual Artifact spread out, it expanded to a size of three to four zhang, large enough to enshroud both Lu Yuanshan and Zhiwei.

"Elder Han, what’s the meaning of this?!"

Lu Yuanshan’s expression turned cold as he voiced a question, once again unleashing the Golden Crow Sword to strike fiercely at the net.

At the same time, Zhiwei remained silent but took action, unsheathing the Heaven-Covering Bell, radiating splendid divine light, countering the enshrouding Large Net Spiritual Artifact.

Zhiwei’s face remained icy calm.

Han Yuanqing’s exact intentions were unclear, but they needed to dismantle his attack first.

"Humph, overestimating yourself."

Seeing the quick reactions of the Lu siblings, employing defensive measures, Han Yuanqing’s face displayed a hint of disdain.

In his view, his own strength within the Foundation Establishment Stage was undoubtedly formidable.

The Lu siblings, even joining forces, were no match for him, merely engaging in futile struggle.
