369: Sword Slaying Peak Eighth-Tier Monster

"Everyone, don't panic! It's one of us! This is my partner, Qiong Shuang!"

Yao Delong immediately shouted in a clear voice that spread across the battlefield.

"Phew..."

Only then did the crowd breathe a sigh of relief as they looked at the majestic,

yet clearly protective Frost Flood Dragon guarding the two female Cultivators, their eyes filled with shock and envy.

A Rank Eight Yao Beast partner? This Senior... what exactly is his background?!

However, the moment Qiong Shuang displayed her power, deep within the beast tide,

several fierce gazes that had already locked onto Yao Delong became even more burning and greedy!

"Roar—!"

"Awoo—!"

Four massive figures, emitting the terrifying aura of the Peak Rank Eight,

burst out from the surging beast tide like four moving mountains!

Their goal was incredibly clear—Yao Delong!

One was the "Burning Flame Demon Bear," its body wreathed in dark red flames and its fangs like knives;

One was the "Sky-Rending Fierce Vulture," with hideous bone wings and incredible speed;

One was the "Earth-Shaking Rock Rhino," covered in thick rock armor and possessing immense strength;

And there was the "Green Phosphorus Blood Python," entirely emerald green and coiled in poisonous miasma!

Four Peak Rank Eight Yao Beasts were equivalent to at least four Nascent Soul Perfection Great Cultivators!

Carrying a destructive aura, they ignored the Cultivators and low-rank Yao Beasts along the way,

charging straight at Yao Delong below the city walls like four poisoned arrows released from a bow!

The terrifying Demonic Qi lock-on made the surrounding air turn viscous!

"Brother Yao, be careful!"

Li Chen, who was fighting a Rank Seven Yao Beast in the distance, saw this scene.

His eyes nearly split in anger, and he wanted to return to help but was pinned down by his opponent.

Several Nascent Soul Disciples of the Moyang Sect also noticed the crisis and were about to rush over to help, but were stopped by Elder Mo Yan's cold snort:

"Hmph! What's the panic? Didn't you hear him say 'one person is enough' earlier?

Since he's attracting nearly half the firepower of the high-rank Yao Beasts, why don't you take the opportunity to kill the others and reduce the overall pressure?!"

Mo Yan looked coldly at Yao Delong, who was targeted by four Peak Rank Eight Yao Beasts, a hint of mockery at the corner of his mouth:

"Four Peak Rank Eight... I want to see how you fulfill your boast of 'one person being enough'!

It won't be too late for me to act once you can't hold on and beg for help!"

He was certain that Yao Delong was just talking big before.

Faced with the siege of four Yao Beasts of the same rank, he would surely be defeated!

Facing the four ferocious Peak Rank Eight Yao Beasts pouncing toward him,

far from showing fear, a spark of excited Battle Intent ignited in Yao Delong's eyes!

"Good timing!"

Instead of retreating, he took a step forward and took the initiative to meet them!

With a slight thought, a blood-red sword shadow suddenly shot out from his Sea of Consciousness!

Buzz—!

A clear and spirited sword hum echoed across the battlefield! The Scarlet Firmament Divine Sword flew out!

A scorching, domineering, and terrifying Sword Intent that seemed capable of incinerating the eight directions instantly spread!

Upon the sword's blade, crimson flame runes flowed like living things, and the surrounding air distorted from the high temperature!

"Roar!"

The Burning Flame Demon Bear, charging at the front, saw Yao Delong dare to take the initiative to counterattack, and a human-like trace of contempt flashed in its eyes.

A mere human Nascent Soul, even with a divine weapon, what could he do?

It roared, and its massive bear paw, carrying dark red demonic flames capable of burning mountains and boiling seas, slammed down!

Space itself seemed as if it would be shattered by this palm strike!

The other three Yao Beasts also launched their attacks simultaneously!

The Sky-Rending Fierce Vulture's bone wings tore through the air, emitting a piercing screech;

The Earth-Shaking Rock Rhino lowered its head, its single horn flashing with earthy yellow light, crashing forward like a siege ram;

The Green Phosphorus Blood Python opened its mouth, and an extremely condensed emerald poison arrow shot silently toward the center of Yao Delong's back!

The four attacks sealed off all of Yao Delong's space to dodge! It was incredibly perilous!

Not far away, the hearts of Han Tianzheng, Li Linger, Han Ruyi, and the others leaped into their throats!

The cold sneer on Mo Yan's lips grew even wider.

However, Yao Delong's expression was as calm as water.

He did not use his trump card, the Lesser Immortal Slaying Sword Formation, but instead pushed the sword techniques of the Pure Yang Limitless Sword Canon to their limit!

Behind him, nine golden sun phantoms rotated frantically, and the Yang-attribute Blazing Sun Yuan Power surged into the Scarlet Firmament Sword like a volcanic eruption!

At the same time, within his Sea of Consciousness, that formless and substanceless "Heart Sword," which contained the intent of extinction and ending, suddenly lit up!

"Pure Yang Limitless: Long River Piercing the Sun!"

Yao Delong shouted softly, and with the Scarlet Firmament Sword in hand, he thrust out a seemingly casual strike toward the first-arriving Burning Flame Demon Bear!

There was no world-shaking momentum, only a highly condensed red-gold sword river that seemed composed of pure Solar True Fire!

The sword river was initially as thin as a silk thread, but the moment it left the sword, it suddenly expanded,

transforming into a roaring, surging flame river that incinerated all things!

Even more terrifying was that within this scorching, sky-burning Sword Intent,

there was also a formless, substanceless, terrifying power that targeted the Soul Origin and carried the aura of the end of all things—the power of the Heart Sword!

The moment the Burning Flame Demon Bear's massive, demonic-flame-burning paw came into contact with the red-gold sword river,

its proud demonic flames and fur, which were enough to withstand ordinary Heaven-Grade Weapons, met their nemesis and instantly dissolved!

That was no ordinary fire, but the Nine Yang True Fire capable of incinerating all things!

"Roar—?!"

The contempt in the Burning Flame Demon Bear's eyes was instantly replaced by boundless terror!

It wanted to withdraw its paw, but it was already too late!

Chii—!

The red-gold sword river pierced through its massive bear paw without any resistance,

leaving a terrifying hole that was transparent from front to back, with charred edges emitting the burnt smell of roasted meat!

But this was only the beginning!

The power of the Extinction Heart Sword contained within the sword river ignored its powerful Physical Body defense,

stabbing deep into its demon soul like an invisible poisonous thorn!

"Awoo—!!!"

An indescribably shrill howl of extreme agony suddenly erupted from the Burning Flame Demon Bear's mouth!

The sound was so tragic that the entire noisy battlefield fell silent!

Its massive body collapsed to the ground as if all its bones had been removed,

its huge bear head frantically slamming against the ground as its entire body twitched violently.

Dark red blood seeped from its nose, mouth, eyes, and ears, and only endless pain and fear remained in its lava-like pupils.

Clearly, its demon soul had suffered unimaginable trauma, and it had completely lost its combat capability!

One sword strike!

Just one sword strike!

A ferociously powerful Peak Rank Eight Yao Beast, enough to give a Nascent Soul Perfection Cultivator a headache,

now lay collapsed on the ground like a dead dog, wailing incessantly!

Time seemed to freeze at this moment.

Above and below the city, the actions of all the human Cultivators who were fighting came to a momentary halt,

as they stared dumbfounded at the collapsed giant bear and the young figure standing with his sword.

The surging beast tide also seemed to experience a moment of chaos due to this sudden turn of events,

and instinctive fear appeared in the eyes of many low-rank Yao Beasts.

Even the other three Rank Eight Yao Beasts pouncing toward Yao Delong stopped their momentum abruptly,

their huge beast pupils filled with uncertainty and unbelievable shock!
