CHAPTER 531: CHAPTER 530 DRAGON DEMON TEMPLE_1

"What a formidable beast!"

The expressions of the onlookers grew solemn. This Exotic Beast had remained nearly unscathed despite the combined assault from Ling Chen and Liu Feiyue. Its defense is a bit too strong, isn’t it?

However, the two Sword Lights were not entirely ineffective. They merely left two shallow marks on the Exotic Demon Beast’s body, from which traces of black blood oozed.

But this minor injury was far from what everyone had hoped for.

The Exotic Demon Beast was obviously infuriated by the heavy blow. Its eyes turned bright red, and a tremendous crimson light surged from its body. It abruptly ignored Ling Chen and Liu Feiyue, lunging its gigantic claw at Bai Xu’an, who was playing the flute.

Apparently, this beast possessed considerable Spiritual Wisdom. If it could eliminate Bai Xu’an, who continuously played the Phantasmal Melody, the enemy’s coordination would undoubtedly be severely weakened.

However, Bai Xu’an showed no sign of dodging. Wei Qingyi and Xue Wu Ya, positioned before her, had already charged forward. But in the blink of an eye, the Exotic Demon Beast knocked them back. The disparity in their strengths was stark.

Nonetheless, Ling Chen reacted with lightning speed from behind them. A Sword Light, seemingly crackling with lightning, suddenly collided with the Exotic Demon Beast’s sharp claw. Brilliant sparks immediately shot out.

With his eyes narrowed, Ling Chen swiftly executed four sword strikes. Each strike, imbued with ferocious power, aimed to halt the Exotic Demon Beast’s advance.

A violent wind swept through, instantly pulverizing the surrounding trees, yet the Exotic Demon Beast’s assault was halted.

"Well done, Ling Chen!"

At this moment, Liu Feiyue rushed over, her Treasure Sword in hand. Crescent-shaped Sword Qi swirled wildly around her, emitting an incredibly sharp and intimidating aura.

Her crescent Sword Light slammed heavily onto the Exotic Demon Beast, tearing open new wounds.

"Ling Chen? Is this *the* Ling Chen?"

Hearing the name Ling Chen, Teng Beast, who was not far off, showed a sudden change in expression. He stared intently at Ling Chen. The latter was currently disguised, which was why even Teng Beast hadn’t recognized him earlier.

"Ling Chen? Are you sure it’s him?"

Dragon Demon Temple’s eyebrows rose. Of course, he recognized the name. Both the Xuan Mang Sect and the Wild Python Sect had been defeated by this person. Furthermore, the Blood Refining Old Demon from the Xuan Mang Sect had also lost his life at this young man’s hands, nearly ruining their grand plan.

"It’s most likely him."

Teng Beast’s eyes turned gloomy. "This fellow is insidious and cunning, frequently resorting to disguises. But based on my judgment, this person bears a sixty to seventy percent resemblance to him, and his name is also Ling Chen. I’m certain it’s him. I never expected this brat to be so resourceful, managing to infiltrate the Righteous Path, then the Demon Way, and now even the Cyan Robe Association. It’s clear he always has multiple escape routes prepared. He’s truly a treacherous and cunning scoundrel."

"This man has repeatedly opposed our Myriad Beasts Sect, which is utterly detestable. However, our primary objective now is to ensure the Exotic Demon Beast’s safety. Let’s not invite further complications," Dragon Demon Temple said, glancing at Ling Chen before withdrawing his gaze.

On the field, the Exotic Demon Beast was in dire straits. Encircled by Ling Chen, Liu Feiyue, and the others, it was forced onto the defensive.

Pulling a black cloth over his face, Dragon Demon Temple shot forward. A dark Long Spear materialized in his hand. Stepping into the Void, he thrust the Long Spear toward Ling Chen’s back.

Sensing the danger from behind, the hairs on Ling Chen’s body stood on end. He whirled around and was shocked to see that his attacker was a Top Sky Apex Strong.

CLANG!

Liu Feiyue intercepted the spear’s light for Ling Chen. Brilliant sparks scattered like fireworks, accompanied by a deafening metallic clash.

"Who are you? Are you perhaps associated with this Exotic Beast?" Liu Feiyue demanded coldly.

Dragon Demon Temple didn’t respond. His figure flickered and vanished. When he reappeared, he was already in front of Bai Xu’an, the Long Spear in his hand thrusting out viciously once more.

Forced to stop playing her flute, Bai Xu’an drew a Long Whip with a backhand motion, entangling Dragon Demon Temple’s Long Spear, and then swiftly retreated.

"Sister Xuan!"

Seeing Bai Xu’an targeted by Dragon Demon Temple, Liu Feiyue grew anxious. However, Ling Chen stopped her and said, "This beast is extremely savage. If left alive, it will become a major threat. We should focus all our strength on killing it first. That person is clearly here for this beast; he won’t just stand by and watch us slay it."

"Then let’s kill this beast first!"

Liu Feiyue nodded. Immediately, she infused her True Qi into the Long Sword in her hand. As she channeled her power, four crescent-shaped beams of Sword Qi spun out, landing on the ground in four different directions. Then, from these four points, they shot violently toward the Exotic Demon Beast.

The rolling Lunar Wheels gouged deep fissures into the ground. Their ferocity was such that they seemed intent on dismembering the Exotic Demon Beast.

However, the Exotic Demon Beast was no fool; it seemed to recognize the power of this attack. It curled its body, planting all four feet on the ground, resembling a hedgehog as a black Shield materialized around it.

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

The four Lunar Wheels slammed into the Exotic Demon Beast, instantly tearing at the Shield. Yet, even as it was ripped apart, the Shield regenerated at an astonishing speed. The four exceptionally potent Lunar Wheel Sword Qi attacks failed to completely shatter it.

The cracks that appeared vanished almost as quickly as they formed.

Ling Chen observed this intently. The moment a fissure appeared in the Shield, his sword moved. A blazing light shot forth from the Red Sky Sword, forming a straight line.

"Melting Stones Flowing Gold!"

The Sword Light blasted out, piercing through the Void, and struck the Exotic Demon Beast’s body with ferocious impact.

SHLICK!

The attack pierced the Exotic Demon Beast’s tough hide. The crimson Sword Light embedded itself deep within its flesh. Instantly, black fluid spurted out, and a mournful shriek tore through the air.

This single sword strike had grievously wounded the Exotic Demon Beast in an instant.

The Sword Qi directly penetrated the Exotic Demon Beast’s body, sending it flying.

"You little beast, stop!"

Seeing the Exotic Demon Beast sent flying, Dragon Demon Temple’s pupils contracted, shock filling his eyes. He swiftly abandoned his assault on Bai Xu’an. With a tap of his foot, his body transformed into a streak of black light, reappearing before Ling Chen.

Seeing Dragon Demon Temple suddenly rush toward him with killing intent, Ling Chen drew his Red Sky Sword and rapidly retreated.

Dragon Demon Temple glanced at the severely injured Exotic Demon Beast, his expression turning grim. If the Elder of Myriad Beasts finds out about this, he probably won’t let me off easily.

"Demon Dragon Palm!"

In his shock and fury, Dragon Demon Temple unleashed a palm strike. His True Qi coalesced into a torrent of Black Dragon Qi that swept out, raging towards Ling Chen.
