265: Chapter 265 Fiery Beast

Outer perimeter of the Fire Domain.

Several Foundation Establishment Cultivators joined forces to deal with two Flame Beasts.

The two Flame Beasts were trapped by their Formation, and then they unleashed attacks into the Formation, gradually consuming the Flame Beasts' physical strength.

"Retreat quickly!"

Just as they were about to resolve these two Flame Beasts, a violent vibration came from underground. Several people were shocked in their hearts and hurriedly took to the air, having to first give up on slaying these two Flame Beasts.

That violent vibration grew closer and closer. In the blink of an eye, several more Flame Beasts rushed out from underground, and seeing those people in mid-air, they immediately launched an attack.

"Let's go!" The leading Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Ye Ling, greeted the companions around him.

"But Fellow Daoist Ye, that Formation..." a young man in the team hurriedly said.

"Forget about the Formation, I will be responsible for your losses," Ye Ling said directly.

As the captain of this team, he had always upheld decisiveness and never hesitated. It was precisely because of his decisions that they were able to escape several life-and-death crises when facing them in the Fire Domain.

Seeing that Ye Ling had already made a guarantee, the young man no longer hesitated, turning around to flee with everyone.

However, after they fled for just a few miles, directly ahead, a group of Flame Beasts rushed over simultaneously, numbering around dozens.

And those few Flame Beasts behind them were also approaching them.

"What should we do? Fellow Daoist Ye," a matron in the team hurriedly asked.

Ye Ling frowned, looked in another direction, and immediately said, "We go this way."

After speaking, he immediately rushed out, and the other five people closely followed him.

During this period of time, they had all survived relying on Ye Ling's decisions, so every decision Ye Ling made caused them to trust him unconditionally.

After the six people escaped for a few more miles, the Flame Beasts in the rear had regrouped and charged over collectively, continuously spewing a large amount of flames to attack.

Ye Ling and the others dodged while escaping.

However, because the attacks from behind were too dense, someone was ultimately affected.

"Ah!" A miserable scream sounded.

"Fellow Daoist Cao?" Ye Ling was shocked.

Cao Peng was hit by a flame attack, and instantly his entire body was scorched.

In the team, a female Cultivator made her move, casting a water-attribute Spell to extinguish the flames scorching Cao Peng.

"Many thanks, Fellow Daoist Yu." Cao Peng was only scorched by the flames for a short while, yet his entire skin was completely burned to ashes, exposing the flesh beneath. This scene sent a shudder through everyone.

Within the team, Cao Peng's cultivation was not weak, yet even a Foundation Establishment fifth-layer Cultivator like this was burned like this in just a short moment.

If it were them, at least half would not end up any better than him.

Even Ye Ling, a Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivator, felt a wave of dread looking at it.

If he had been hit just now, his fate definitely wouldn't be much better than Cao Peng's.

"Not good!" Delayed for just this brief moment by the six people, the Flame Beasts in the rear had all swarmed up.

"Set up the Formation!" Ye Ling did not hesitate in the least, speaking directly.

The other few people also had no time to continue caring about Cao Peng, immediately standing in their respective positions.

Walls of blue Formation rose immediately from all four sides.

Fortunately, they had fully prepared before coming to the Fire Domain, otherwise facing so many Flame Beasts, there would simply be no way to fight.

Roar!

Outside the Formation, that group of Flame Beasts roared continuously. Standing everywhere, their mouths opened and closed, spewing out streaks of high-heat flames.

Watching this scene, Ye Ling slashed down with a sword, and two Flame Beasts ahead were hacked back.

But other Flame Beasts swarmed up again.

"We aren't going to die here, are we?" Within the team, the young Formation Master said despairingly.

"Alright, enough nonsense. Let's deal with the Flame Beasts in front of us first," Yu Ying frowned and said.

The fight had just begun, yet he kept predicting doom. Would predicting doom make the opponent spare you?

Aside from Cao Peng recovering from his injuries, the remaining five people continuously attacked, beating back one Flame Beast after another.

However, when facing just two Flame Beasts, they had to rely on the Formation to slowly wear them down; how could they possibly resolve the dozens of Flame Beasts before them now?

Ye Ling also knew their current plight, and immediately took out a Talisman from his Storage Pouch. This was a Third-Rank Low Grade Talisman he had spent twenty thousand Spirit Stones to buy—the Five Spirits Sword Light Talisman.

His heart ached as he glanced at the Talisman, and only then did he reluctantly unleash it.

At that moment, the Third-Rank Low Grade Talisman, the Five Spirits Sword Light Talisman, instantly blazed with brilliant light.

Five Flying Swords of various colors instantly flew out, slaying over a dozen Second-Rank Flame Beasts along the way.

Among them was even a Second-Rank High Grade one.

Seeing their slaughtered companions beside them, those Flame Beasts revealed fear in their eyes for the first time.

However, their intelligence had not yet reached a certain level, and after a brief halt in their attacks, they began to stir restlessly once again.

Seeing this, Ye Ling and the others could only continue attacking. Since that previous move still failed to scare them off, they had to try stalling until someone stepped in to rescue them.

Inside the Fire Domain, besides their Monster Hunting Team, there were also Cultivators of the Yanhuo Sect itself. As long as they were lucky, perhaps the other party would lend a helping hand upon discovering them.

However, that assumed they could last until then.

The number of Flame Beasts was far greater than theirs. Even if they took Medicinal Pills while recovering their spiritual power, the gap in numbers was ultimately too large.

Within the span of an hour, their mana quickly bottomed out, and they didn't have many Medicinal Pills left on hand to continue recovering.

Just as their situation grew increasingly desperate, a cyan beam of light suddenly descended. In the blink of an eye, over a dozen Second-Rank Flame Beasts were killed.

Looking over, not far away, a cyan figure stood in mid-air, looking calmly at this group of Flame Beasts.

Every time he attacked, he took away a large number of Second-Rank Flame Beasts, and beside him was a woman in white who likewise took away quite a few Second-Rank Flame Beasts with every move she made.

In the blink of an eye, the two of them resolved a massive amount of Flame Beasts.

This scene caused the eyes of the six people to tremble in shock.

So powerful.

"Fellow Daoist Ye, who are they?" Cao Peng asked with doubt.

Among their party, Ye Ling was the only Genius originating from a Purple Mansion faction. Therefore, Ye Ling might know those two Purple Palace Cultivators in mid-air.

"I don't know either?" Ye Ling was also somewhat puzzled. He had never seen these two people before; could they be friends made by Revered Master in the lower realms?

Chen Changqing and Li Qingling only glanced at the six people below and ignored them, simply giving a casual wave to put away the corpses of dozens of Second-Rank Flame Beasts.

"Let's go, let's head somewhere else," Chen Changqing said to Li Qingling.

Their target from beginning to end was these Flame Beasts. As for saving people? That was merely incidental.

Moreover, as the two of them walked along this path, encountering Human Race Cultivators besieged by large numbers of Flame Beasts was not rare.

However, they wanted to hunt Third-Rank Flame Beasts in exchange for ziyu pill, but coming all the way down this path, they hadn't encountered the legendary Third-Rank Flame Beasts at all.

Sometimes they also learned about them from the mouths of Foundation Establishment Cultivators they rescued, but when they rushed over, that Third-Rank Flame Beast had already disappeared without a trace.

After putting away all the Flame Beast corpses, the two immediately turned into two streaks of escaping light and departed.

"Are these Purple Palace Cultivators? They are simply too strong." As the Formation Master of the team, that young man said in astonishment.

Ye Ling, Yu Ying, and the other five all watched those two figures continually receding into the distance.

If not for these two people, they could have lasted at most another incense stick of time.
