Chapter 92: Taking Advantage of the Fire (Part 2)

  "Damn it, how did it mutate!"

  The three young men in green robes who were following He Gongming came to their senses, cursed viciously and then glared at Yueluo with indignation. If it weren't for the latter's trickery, letting the demon beast distract them, the demon beast would have been killed by the senior brother long ago, and there wouldn't be such an uncontrollable situation now!

  This demon beast was originally a third-tier lower-grade, after mutation, at least it's a third-tier middle-grade, all of them are acquired martial artists here, except for He Gongming, no one can be a match for this demon beast in a single move!

  Those two fleeing figures were the two junior brothers who had previously been used by Yuè Bù Qì to lure away the monster. At this moment, they were covered in tattered clothes, and their robes were obviously torn apart by the branches of the road they had passed through. Of course, one of them also had a bloody claw mark on his shoulder, which was probably left by the monster.

  The rumbling sound was getting closer and closer, those two Purple Cloud Sect disciples had long exhausted the Air Restricting Symbols given to them by Yuè Bù Qì, at this moment seeing everyone, their hearts suddenly rose with hope, one side shouting loudly, while speeding up.

  Along with the rumbling thunder in the mountains, the two tattered Purple Cloud Sect disciples ran to the open area and a massive black shadow over three zhang tall suddenly appeared, breaking through a tree. Immediately after, with a sound like muffled thunder and steps like flowing stars, amidst the faint ripples on the ground, they arrived before He Gongming and Yuè Bùqì and others.

  Chu Hao took a deep breath and looked up, also taking in a mouthful of cool air.

  This monster was actually a monkey-like creature. The monster was three or four zhang tall, its entire body covered in fine, long black fur, like a giant, hairy, man-eating goblin, and standing there, it gave off a bloody aura that assailed the nostrils. On the monster's body, many places had deep, visible scars, one sword wound even ripped from the brow bone down to the neck, with fresh flesh exposed, shocking to behold.

  The monster's appearance was extremely ferocious, its huge front limbs propping up the ground. Seeing the crowd on the empty land, it suddenly stopped in its tracks, but those copper bell-like eyes that still glowed with a crimson light in the dark night continued to flash with an intimidating ferocity, staring fixedly at the two exhausted Purple Cloud Sect disciples.

  The bloody aura spread all over, and Yue Buqi looked at the demon beast with a changing expression.

  The demon beast's mutation is a scene that many cultivators are unwilling to see!

  Chu Hao saw the demon beast and felt relieved, saying: "Lijie didn't deceive me, this demon beast is indeed a lower third-tier, it has just mutated now and reached mid-tier."

  "The third stage of the middle grade is equivalent to the fourth layer of the innate, although it's injured, can you still take it down? This matter concerns the restoration of the Hunyuan Cauldron, Chen Honghong didn't have the heart to bicker with Chu Hao, and somewhat nervously asked."

  Chu Hao chuckled and nodded at He Gongming, saying: "Isn't there still that big fool? Wait until they're exhausted and injured, then I'll make my move. This is more fitting for my glorious image."

  "You little scoundrel, you're indeed despicable!"

  "Too kind, too kind." Chu Hao and Chen Honghong exchanged a sly smile.

  In the arena, the atmosphere was unusually tense. The three-tiered demon beasts, which had already developed spiritual intelligence, saw so many people surrounding them and instinctively felt that they were not easy to deal with, so they restrained their bloodthirsty killing intent and stopped in their tracks.

  He Gongming looked at Yuè Bù Qì with a serious expression and said, "Second Young Master, let's join forces." As he spoke, without waiting for Yuè Bù Qì to respond, someone else loudly shouted: "Everyone, form an array! Follow me in killing this evil beast that has been harming the people!"

  "Yes, Master!" The three purple-robed youths behind him immediately drew their long swords and leapt in different directions, surrounding the demon beast from east, west, north, and south. He Gongming was at the southern position, directly facing the demon beast.

  These disciples are all elites of the outer gate of the Purple Cloud Gate, decisive and without hesitation.

  Immediately afterwards, the three of them took out a talisman from their sleeves. A sword pierced through the talisman, pointing at the void. Then, with murmurs, a cyan-yellow aura was reflected from the chilly and severe edge of the sword.

  That monster seemed to have sensed something was wrong, its arms bulged and rose, heavily pounding its chest, letting out a shocking roar that shook the surrounding trees. Then it saw its arms supporting the ground, rising into the air, and fiercely pounced towards He Guoming who took a step forward!

  He Gongming's face remained unchanged, but he suddenly let out a loud roar: "How dare you, evil demon!" As soon as he finished speaking, a powerful aura burst forth from his hand, and the storage bag flashed with light. A black, long sword flew out of it and into his grasp!

  This loud roar, mixed with He Gongming's profound internal force, was like a wooden drum being struck, shaking people's eardrums. At this moment, his voice had already risen to a thread of murderous aura, no longer as gentle as when he faced off against Yueluo earlier, just like the cold wind in the depths of winter, making people freeze and solidify on the spot.

  The flash of this sword, instantly raised a thread of electric current in the air, making the sword light even more dazzling!

  He Gongming was calm and fearless, facing the demon beast that was two to three times taller than him. He suddenly sprang into action, his speed incredibly fast!

  Hehe——

  The monster's sharp claws instantly swooped in, accompanied by a suffocating gust of air. As soon as He Gongming made a move, the claws tore through the air, barely missing him. Although this claw strike missed its target, it struck the muddy ground with great force, sending countless particles of dirt flying everywhere. The earth seemed to shudder and tremble, and a massive crater was formed in an instant!

  Chu Hao watched from afar, and his heart skipped a beat with fright.

  My god, this is no demon beast, it's simply a meat grinder wearing a demon beast skin.

  Too exciting!

  He Guangming narrowly dodged the monster's pursuit, hovering above its head. Immediately after, he pulled his long sword downwards with a flash of lightning, and then grasped the hilt with both hands, fiercely stabbing at the monster's head!

  This sword will leave no room for mercy, what it seeks is the skull of the demonic beast!

  Although this monster has infinite strength and a huge body, as long as its skull is shattered, it will become a fish on the chopping board!

  "Bang——"

  A burst of sharp steel clashing sounds rose in the black night, and the beast's fur was frighteningly hard. He Gongming's sword stabbed down on its head, but was unexpectedly bounced back! He Gongming was greatly shocked in his heart, and immediately without hesitation, he leapt to dodge.

  Roar! The monster's head was in pain and suddenly became furious. Its palms struck its own head with a loud slap.

  If this is really going to happen, even if He Gongming has reached the peak of his later years, he will still be turned into a meat paste!

  He Guangming was also sweating profusely at this moment, but he remained relatively calm in his heart. He used his sword to support himself and flipped through the air, barely dodging the monster's palm. However, the monster's arm was too long and too fast, and the force of its swing was unstoppable. The gust of wind it generated swept across He Guangming's abdomen like a knife cut, easily tearing open his robust body. He took in a breath of cold air as he felt another strong gust of wind approaching, and quickly rolled to the side.

  "Boom!" The mud splashed, and a large pit was again blasted out by the monster's claw.

  The moon did not abandon the look at He Gongming's three junior brothers, they were now one hand holding a long sword, and one hand stretched out their index finger and middle finger, operating the array method on the spiritual symbol. They are not innate, to use the array method, must go through cumbersome secret procedures, and also need to concentrate on several people's power to achieve. Looking back at his two junior brothers in the Moon family, they were trembling with fear, still in shock. He shook his head, although he did not want to obey He Gongming, but now, only this way can save their lives!

  He gritted his teeth, and with a swift circulation of internal energy, he executed a light movement skill, dashing towards the demonic beast. Two flying knives instantly appeared in his hands, shining with a cold glint, just like when he had dealt with He Gongming earlier.

  Those three purple-robed youths who were casting a spell saw this and were shocked, shouting: "Elder Brother, be careful!" They thought that Yue Buqun was going to take advantage of the opportunity to make a move against Hei Yiming!

  Yue coldly snorted, with his proud demeanor, he didn't bother to explain. A flush of anger flashed across his pale face, and then two flying knives shot out quickly, aiming straight at the giant eyes of the demonic beast!

  The monster's eyebrow bone was injured at the nape of its neck. If it could be recreated in its eyes, the odds of winning would increase by a few points.

  These flying knives are just ordinary goods, although they were made with good iron materials, but after all, there is no blessing of any formation, and they can't break through the defense of the demon beast. The two flying knives drew two beautiful arcs in the air, just as they were about to pierce the demon beast's eyes, the demon beast's eyelids suddenly blinked, and the flying knife made a crisp sound, losing its momentum, and floated down to the ground.

  However, although this move did not cause any substantial harm to the demon beast, it had touched its sore spot. Before its mutation, it had suffered a great loss at the hands of Mo Yue's dagger, and now that they met again, it was even more enraged.

  With a fierce howl, the demon beast opened its bloody maw, revealing rows of sharp fangs on either side of its teeth, accompanied by a stench of blood. Moon Not-Abandoned's face was icy calm as he dodged and weaved, his movements swift and ghostly, avoiding the beast's deadly bite.

  "Formation, I'll lead this demon beast away!" Yueluo's feet were like hooks, her body floating lightly in the black night, as if she had no weight at all. The wind came and went, sprinkling everywhere without a care.

  This set of light skills is indeed excellent!

  He Gongming took a deep look at Yuè Bù Qì, but didn't hesitate and immediately returned to the front of his three junior brothers. A spirit symbol flew out from his storage bag. This spirit symbol was originally for preserving his life when he couldn't defeat others in the future, but now that the demonic beast had mutated and its strength was unimaginably powerful, not wanting to die, he could only use it.

  He Gangming carried a long sword on his back, and with a rub of the spiritual symbol in his hand, his hands were surrounded by bursts of hidden electric thunder. It was as if the thunder in the sky had concentrated between his palms, shocking people.

  This talisman is the "Primordial Qi Thunder Summoning Talisman", which can only be created by cultivators of the Thunder Attribute who have reached the fourth level of Foundation Building. With this talisman, He Gongming, along with his three junior brothers who set up the formation and increased its power, will definitely be able to kill the demon beast as long as Yue Buqi can hold it back!

  Yuè's body had already entered the dense forest, taking advantage of the trees to hide and narrowly avoiding the monster's claws one by one. However, he could only rely on consuming his internal energy to operate his lightness skill, and if time went on for too long, a single claw would be enough to end him silently.

  The monster couldn't catch the moon for a long time and was furious, its angry roars causing it to knock down several large trees or create deep pits with each attack. Its appearance became even more ferocious and terrifying, and the speed of its claw swipes and head swings accelerated!

  The moon did not abandon the heavy look on its face, dodging the monster's attack, but in his heart, he was also wailing in distress. He now had very little internal energy left, and if Wei Wuxian didn't take action soon, he wouldn't be able to hold on any longer.

  "Second Young Master, quickly bring the demon beast here!"

  Just at this critical moment, He Gongming finally let out a loud roar.
