Chapter 116: Fierce Battle with the Earth Cloud Beast

  At that time, the team hunted and killed a demon beast, but it was just an underage young beast. It seemed to be a fierce beast, but this earth cloud beast turned out to be a crystalline realm, which is equivalent to the existence of human yuanhe realm, obviously not the one from back then.

  "It's probably that this hawk attacked the young earth cloud beast, and this adult earth cloud beast chased the hawk here. No wonder it was so easy to kill the hawk earlier, it was probably injured from being attacked by the earth cloud beast!" Shi Sheng thought for a moment before understanding the general situation.

  "Wanyu sister, don't move your hands. It's said that if you don't take the initiative to attack, the Tuchun beast won't actively attack you!" Shi Sheng saw Lin Wanyu was about to make a move and hastily instructed her, although he wasn't sure if it would work, but he also didn't want Lin Wanyu to take risks.

  However, Shi Sheng couldn't help but take action, because the Tu Yun beast had already charged over, its fur shining with golden light, its two fangs gleaming coldly, and emitting a terrifying aura. Its massive body was like a small mountain, making one's heart tremble with fear!

  To deal with a demon beast of the same level as humans, it's almost always necessary to form a team of seven or eight people, and even then, they need to use formations to trap the demon beast, and rely on multiple methods to assist each other in order to defeat or kill it. If one person encounters it alone, there are hardly any who can escape, and in the end, they will all die under the demon beast's sharp teeth.

  "Damn it!" Shi Sheng's sleeve robe shook, and the Huo Yun sword appeared vaguely in front of him, suddenly expanding to about three feet in length as it shot out towards the Tu Yun beast. When dealing with such a powerful demon beast, Shi Sheng didn't dare to be careless at all.

  Bang!

  The Tuchun Beast slapped out with one claw, immediately forcing the Huoyun Sword to retreat repeatedly. Shi Sheng's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily, and he hastily urged his mind, causing the Huoyun Sword to flash a ray of light. A burst of blue flames suddenly shot out, sweeping along the Tuchun Beast's forelimb.

  With a flash, the Tuchun Beast's body shone with blue light, and it also displayed its divine power. Its surface appeared with wave after wave of water, protecting it tightly. The cyan flames that swirled around its body couldn't even harm a single hair on the Tuchun Beast. Its strength was clearly not comparable to those ordinary spiritual beasts.

  "Slash!" Shi Sheng suddenly accelerated, and the Huo Yun sword trembled in mid-air. Under Shi Sheng's full force, it suddenly slashed a rift on the front paw of the Tu Yun beast. It was indeed an extreme-grade spiritual treasure, its sharpness exceeding Shi Sheng's expectations.

  Roar!

  Just as Sheng was feeling happy, the giant earth beast let out a loud roar and stomped one foot on the ground. With a loud thud, Sheng and Lin Wan'er immediately felt the ground shake violently, almost losing their balance.

  At this moment, a burst of yellow light shot out from the mud, spreading from the legs of the Tuchuang beast to its entire body, forming a layer of armor-like existence.

  "It's no wonder it's a divine beast with the attribute of earth, its spiritual connection is so strong! In that case, even Huoyun Sword might not be able to harm it!" Just as Shi Sheng finished speaking, Tuchun Beast stomped another foot on the ground, causing the two to feel the earth shake violently once again.

  Bang!

  At almost the same time, a yellow glow flashed under Shi Sheng's feet, and two large hands made of mud suddenly appeared without warning. In an instant, they broke through the light shield transformed by the Golden Vajra Seal, firmly grasping Shi Sheng's legs. Although they did not have any attacking power, in this crucial battle, it was enough to pose a mortal threat to Shi Sheng.

  Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh! Several sword lights intersected and unfolded, but unexpectedly could not cut through the two giant yellow-brown hands. No matter how hard Shi Sheng struggled, he was fundamentally unable to escape the restraint of these two large hands. Unexpectedly, this Tuchun Beast had a body that belonged to the earth element, with divine powers that allowed it to transform and change at will, which made Shi Sheng feel somewhat unexpected. Lin Wan'er felt an unprecedented fear towards the strength of this crystalline realm demon beast.

  Suddenly, the Tuchun beast let out a loud roar, its two eyes turned bright red, and its originally sturdy body expanded again. The two front paws covered with earth armor slapped forcefully, sending the Huoyun sword flying.

  Tap tap tap!

  The Tucheng beast immediately rushed towards Shisheng, and as it scratched the ground with one claw, a strange scene appeared. The mud on the nearby ground began to squirm, and waves of yellow light swept across the ground.

  They instantly transformed into over a dozen thick, five or six feet long, lifelike earth snakes, with yellow halos flashing all over their bodies. The snakes' hisses were loud and clear as they darted towards Shi Ying who was trapped in place.

  Hush hush hush.

  Dozens of sword auras shot out, cutting the earth snake's body but unable to cause actual harm. Even though the earth snake was cut with thousands of wounds, it still charged towards Shi Yong without fear, after all, these dead objects had no pain sensation.

  Shi's heart tightened, and he was determined to withstand the first layer of flames. Could this earth snake have reached a level above the high-ranking spiritual realm? One or two snakes were nothing to worry about, but over ten snakes attacking together would be difficult even for someone with copper skin and iron bones to withstand. Moreover, there were even more terrifying creatures behind them, the most frightening thing being that he was completely unable to move or dodge.

  Shi Sheng couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency, his mind racing to think of a countermeasure. In the midst of this critical situation, he hadn't noticed that at the moment he had used the Huo Tian Jian Quan earlier, a faint green glow had flashed out from within his sleeve.

  At the slightest movement of his mind, the Huoyun Sword suddenly flipped over and shot towards the back of the Tucheng Beast. The Tucheng Beast suddenly turned around, swinging out several claw lights, and the earthy yellow armor on its two front claws was immediately cut off, but in the end it still slapped the Huoyun Sword flying.

  At this moment, Shi Sheng raised his hands and more than a dozen yellow talismans appeared in mid-air, transforming into streams of light that shot towards the Tuchun Beast. Immediately after, the Tuchun Beast's body was enveloped in a dazzling display of light, with bursts of explosive sounds ringing out.

  A giant fire snake, wind blade, and thunderbolt exploded simultaneously, a huge light ball instantly engulfed the Tuchun beast. Shi Sheng's heart was overjoyed, he hastily cast out the second layer of the Furnace Heaven Sword Technique. After more than half a month of training, Shi Sheng had already been able to cast out five or six sword lights at the same time.

  The air was filled with the sound of breaking, and a series of sharp sword edges cut down on two large yellow-brown hands. Although those two large hands were not afraid of pain, they ultimately could not withstand the attack of the sword edges. Under the dim light, they finally burst open with a loud "puff" sound.

  At almost the same time, a dozen earth snakes rushed towards Sheng Shi's vicinity. Just as they were about to collide with his body, Sheng Shi exerted himself and leaped into the air, using his Lingkong Shenfa (Vacant Body Technique) and Zixuan Shu (Magnetic Suspension Technique) simultaneously. His figure instantly shot into mid-air, narrowly avoiding over a dozen earth snakes. Immediately afterwards, he shook his hands downwards, and a series of sword lights intersected and crisscrossed, barely managing to destroy those earth snakes.

  Bang!

  Shi Sheng fell to the ground, his face slightly pale. Although Yuan Hejing's spiritual power was strong, he couldn't withstand the continuous use of the Huo Tian Jian Jue and the activation of the Fire Cloud Sword.

  "Roar!"

  In the distance, a fierce light burst forth, and the wretched Tu Yun beast charged out. The earthy yellow armor on its body disappeared without a trace, and its originally golden fur lost its luster. The red glow in its eyes grew even stronger, as if it was about to devour Shi Sheng whole. Its massive jaws opened wide, revealing two icy fangs that glinted menacingly.

  Shi Sheng had long since lost the will to fight, and for now, his only plan was to escape with his life. However, it was clear that the Tuchun Beast would not let him off easily. But Shi Sheng had already thought of a plan - while it was easy for him to leave, he couldn't just abandon Lin Wan'er who was far away. He prepared to throw out some talismans and use the Huo Tian Sword Technique to hold off the beast for a moment, before quickly leaving with Lin Wan'er.

  "Quickly, Sister Wan'er, go up!" Stone's voice had barely fallen when Huoyun Sword suddenly flashed red and transformed into a flat, meter-sized sword that fell in front of Lin Wan'er.

  "Be careful, Ah Sheng!" Lin Wan'er also knew that now was not the time for romantic feelings or showing off, staying behind would only drag down Shi Sheng. Huo Yun Jian carried Lin Wan'er towards the high sky, slowly approaching Shi Sheng.

  With a muffled thud, the Earth Cloud Beast suddenly sprang up with a twist of its body, and its last sharp claw grasped the Fire Cloud Sword. The sword trembled uncontrollably in mid-air, unable to move an inch. As the massive body of the Earth Cloud Beast slowly descended downwards, the Fire Cloud Beast raised its paws above its head, its eyes glowing bright red as it struggled with all its might to pull down the Fire Cloud Sword and deal with Lin Wan'er first! (End of this chapter, next chapter will be even more exciting!)

  (PS: The first update is here, the next chapter will be at 12pm, everyone come and guess, did Shi Sheng barely escape or miraculously kill the Tuye beast? The answer will be revealed in the next chapter!)
