174: The Hidden Sun Sect came out to provide support.

"Heh, good timing, take this sword!"

"Hehe, more BBQ ingredients to add."

Seeing these transformed demonic beasts charge over.

Gu Chen and Night Owl and his companions calmly took out their weapons and fought with more than a dozen transformed demonic beasts.

"Sword Breaks Void!!" Gu Chen, holding the void sword, unleashed a huge sword energy towards two Saint King demonic beasts.

"God Sealing Mist!!"

Night Owl roared, and a large amount of Slaughter Mist surged from his body, enveloping the other three Saint Kings.

Mu Xueqing, Qin Fei'er, and Huyan Xiaoyao were not to be outdone.

They all attacked the nine Saint-transformed demonic beasts, each taking on several.

"Boom boom!"

The group fought in front of the Yanri Sect's formation, causing the void to vibrate and the earth to crack.

The overflowing power wiped out wave after wave of low-level demonic beasts attacking the Yanri Sect below.

Even the Yanri Sect's protective formation, struck by the aftershocks, became precarious.

"Hiss, Old Ancestor, these young people are so strong! Five of them can fight against so many transformed demonic beasts and still hold the upper hand. They are truly amazing."

Inside the Yanri Sect.

The Yanri Sect Master watched in shock as Night Owl and the four others immediately started fighting more than a dozen transformed demonic beasts with surprising ease.

Due to the formation.

He didn't know the cultivation of Night Owl and the four others before, thinking they were disciples of some sect being chased by demonic beasts.

Now, seeing them fight the demonic beasts, he realized their strength. It seemed they had specifically come to fight the transformed demonic beasts.

"Indeed, very strong. Which sect's disciples are these, exactly?"

"Such young Saint Realm Experts—apart from the Qingtian Emperor Sect, no other power in the entire Southern Region could possibly cultivate them."

The three Saint King Old Ancestors of the Yanri Sect were also filled with shock.

The strength of Night Owl and the four others truly startled them.

However, they quickly had a guess about their identities.

After all, the five of them were wearing identical sect uniforms; though the colors differed, the styles were the same.

And with Night Owl and the four others being so young, if they were from the Southern Region, then besides the renowned Qingtian Emperor Sect, they couldn't think of any other power that could cultivate such young Saint Realm disciples.

"Hiss, Qingtian Emperor Sect?"

Hearing the conversation of the several Saint King Old Ancestors, the Yanri Sect Master gasped.

However, he quickly regained his composure and said to the Saint King Old Ancestors, "Several Old Ancestors, regardless of whether these individuals are from the Qingtian Emperor Sect, since they are already fighting the demonic beasts besieging us, shouldn't we go out and help them?"

The Yanri Sect's Saint King Old Ancestors reacted upon hearing this and all nodded.

"Indeed, no matter which sect's disciples they are, since they are helping our Yanri Sect, we cannot let them fight alone."

"That's right, open the formation! Everyone in the Yanri Sect, come out with us Old Ancestors to slay demons!!"

With the nods of the Saint King Old Ancestors.

The formation covering the Yanri Sect was quickly opened.

The Yanri Sect Master, several Saint Elders, and tens of thousands of disciples all charged towards the low-level demonic beasts.

"Kill, kill, kill all these beasts!!"

"I'll chop, chop these beasts to death."

"Hmph, if we don't show our might, do you beasts really think we're easy to bully?"

Tens of thousands of Yanri Sect disciples, holding weapons, cursed angrily while hacking at the demonic beasts.

After being besieged by these demonic beasts for several hours, they had been terrified, almost wetting themselves.

Now that the situation was improving, they also needed to vent their inner fear.

Leaving two Saint Elders to maintain order.

The Yanri Sect Master and the three Saint King Old Ancestors flew towards the battlefield of Night Owl and his companions.

"Fellow Daoists, we old men are here to lend a hand."

"That's right, fellow Daoists, let us old men help you relieve some pressure."

Spiritual energy surged from their bodies, and they were about to rush into the battlefield to help Gu Chen and Mu Xueqing and the three others.

As soon as they exited the formation, they discovered the strength of Gu Chen and his companions.

When they saw that all of them, with initial and mid-stage Saint cultivation, could fight against late-stage Saints and even mid-stage Saint Kings, their hearts were filled with overwhelming shock.

However, with the battle still raging, they couldn't afford to think too much.

Solving these transformed Saint and Saint King demonic beasts was the most pressing matter.

Seeing the Yanri Sect members about to join the fight.

Gu Chen, who was fiercely battling two Saint King demonic beasts, immediately shouted, "Don't come over! We'll handle these demonic beasts!"

"That's right, we can handle it, we don't need your help!" Mu Xueqing, who was fighting three Saint Peak demonic beasts, also shouted loudly.

"Ah! They don't need our help?"

Hearing Gu Chen and Mu Xueqing's words.

The Yanri Sect Master and the several Saint King Old Ancestors stood frozen in mid-air.

Night Owl's battle group was shrouded in Slaughter Mist, so they couldn't see what was happening inside.

They didn't know what cultivation level of transformed demonic beasts Night Owl was fighting.

But Gu Chen and Mu Xueqing and the others were fighting demonic beasts with higher cultivation than themselves, and each was taking on several.

Especially Gu Chen, with his mid-stage Saint cultivation, was fighting an early-stage Saint King and a mid-stage Saint King demonic beast.

Now, for them to refuse help, what kind of monstrous talent must they possess to have such confidence?

"Old Ancestors, so we just stand here?" The Yanri Sect Master asked, looking bewildered, to the Saint King Old Ancestors.

They had come enthusiastically to help, but now, having been doused with cold water, he didn't know what to do for a moment.

The three Saint King Old Ancestors regained their senses and all sighed.

"Alas, since they don't want our help, we can only stand by and provide support. We'll step in if they need us."

"That's right, if you can't stand still, go and kill the low-level demonic beasts with the disciples."

The three slowly spoke a few words, then intently watched Gu Chen and his companions battle the transformed demonic beasts.

Hearing this, the Yanri Sect Master turned his head somewhat dejectedly and went to kill the low-level demonic beasts on the ground.

Since there were no opponents of the same level, killing some low-level demonic beasts to add to the sect's demonic beast materials would also be good.

As the battle continued.

Gu Chen and the three others' opponents, the demonic beasts, were beaten all over and had no power to retaliate.

Especially within Night Owl's Slaughter Mist, several shrill screams soon rang out.

"Aaaah!"

After the screams subsided, Night Owl retracted the Slaughter Mist.

Beside him floated three blood-soaked corpses of mid-stage Saint King demonic beasts.

These were a scaled ox demon, a spider with dozens of legs, and a lion demon exuding cold energy.

Now, they were all motionless, deader than dead.

"Brother Ox, Brother Spider, Brother Lion!!"

Seeing the three demons killed by Night Owl and reverting to their original forms.

The demonic beasts fighting Gu Chen and the three others were all horrified.

These three demons were the strongest among them.

They hadn't fled despite being beaten so badly by Gu Chen and the three others precisely because these three demonic beasts hadn't been defeated yet, meaning there was still a chance to turn the tide.

Now, with the three demons killed by Night Owl, they had completely lost the will to fight.
