27: Chapter 27 The Actor's Self-Cultivation!

"Stop dazing!"

"Get behind me!"

At the critical moment, a dark shadow soared into the sky!

Shi Jian's body swelled to over ten feet tall, his muscles bulging and Demonic Qi surging. Facing the wind sphere, he swiped at it with a single claw.

Bang!

The wind sphere exploded, and a violent gale swept through.

Shi Jian landed steadily, blocking the front of the Sun Clan's position. He stared at the giant wolf demon opposite him, calculating rapidly in his mind.

This wolf demon was too weak.

Although they were both Level 3 Yao Beasts, the opponent's Divine Soul was not as strong as his, its Physical Body was much worse, and its Realm was relatively unstable.

If he truly used his full strength, he estimated he could slap its brains out in just a few hits!

But if he appeared too powerful, it would seem somewhat inappropriate...

He had to act!

Shi Jian remained silent and let out a heaven-shaking roar. His eyes turned red as he put on a desperate stance and lunged at the giant wolf demon.

A bear and a wolf instantly fell into a scuffle.

Shi Jian deliberately withheld fifty percent of his power, using only half his strength to deal with the giant wolf.

He roared while using his claws to leave one shallow bloody gash after another on the giant wolf demon's body. It looked terrifying, but in reality, it didn't cause any fundamental damage.

Stung by the pain, the giant wolf's ferocity was also fully unleashed.

Its sharp claws and teeth constantly struck sparks against Shi Jian's fur.

Fortunately, Shi Jian was thick-skinned and tough-fleshed; this level of attack wasn't even enough to tickle him. However, he still cooperatively let out several extremely painful "wails."

Just like a BDSM roleplay, his cries were truly heart-wrenching!

A truly hearty performance!

"Old Ancestor, be careful!"

Sun Boan watched from behind with a racing heart. The scene of Shi Jian coming to the rescue just now had truly moved him.

For the first time, he genuinely accepted this Bear Old Ancestor from the bottom of his heart...

At least Shi Jian, as a bear, treated others kindly, unlike that old thing Sun Hangchun, whose favoritism had gone to the dogs!

While Shi Jian "struggled" in combat with the giant wolf, he moved his steps imperceptibly.

Whenever other Yao Beasts attempted to approach the Sun Clan's defensive line, he would "accidentally" stomp over or use his massive body to block their path of attack.

A full half-hour passed.

The other families on the left flank suffered casualties exceeding half their numbers, and their positions were crumbling.

Only on the Sun Clan's side, under the protection of Shi Jian, this Foundation Establishment demon in "bitter battle," did the three core clansmen including Sun Boan remain completely unharmed, while only a few Immortal Slaves suffered minor injuries.

The giant wolf, however, grew more alarmed the longer they fought.

The black bear before it looked clumsy, and none of its attacks were fatal, yet it simply couldn't be killed or worn down. It was truly bizarre!

He possessed a trace of a special Bloodline, yet he couldn't defeat this stupid, clumsy wild bear.

It was truly unbelievable.

Right then, a sharp shout came from the White Cloud Temple's defensive line:

"Vile beast, cease your insolence!"

Three dazzling sword lights coalesced from afar. The three Late Stage Foundation Establishment Elders of White Cloud Temple had finally freed themselves to set up a grand formation.

Each of the three occupied a corner and threw out a massive formation diagram.

"Tiangang Demon-Slaying Formation, rise!"

In mid-air, thousands upon thousands of sharp Sword Qi condensed and poured down like a rainstorm. Everywhere the Sword Qi passed...

Level 1 Yao Beasts were ground into mincemeat, and Level 2 great demons were heavily wounded and fled in defeat.

The situation on the battlefield reversed instantly.

In the distant darkness, a dull beast roar suddenly sounded. It wasn't loud, but it penetrated the entire battlefield, carrying an irresistible pressure.

Hearing this roar, the swarm of Yao Beasts that had been attacking frantically suddenly stopped their movements.

"You are a member of our race, yet you willingly serve as a dog for the Human Race. You traitor!"

The giant wolf demon glared fiercely at Shi Jian. Using the force of Shi Jian's incoming palm strike, it leaped backward and turned to flee.

The other Yao Beasts also retreated rapidly like a tide, showing no desire to continue the fight.

In just half a stick of incense's time, the Yao Beasts outside the valley entrance had retreated completely, leaving behind a ground full of corpses and a devastated camp.

Shi Jian stood in place, panting heavily, looking as if he had overexerted himself.

But his vertical pupils stared fixedly in the direction the Yao Beasts had retreated...

Too orderly.

This wasn't a rout; it was an organized withdrawal.

The Yao Beasts of the Dafeng Mountains had always fought independently. To make so many different species act in unison, obeying orders perfectly...

Deep within the Dafeng Mountains, an extraordinary great demon must have emerged.

At least a Demon General capable of commanding ten thousand beasts!

A Demon General was a Level 5 to 7 Yao Beast, corresponding to a Human Race Golden Core Master. Further up were Level 8 to 10 Transformed Demon Kings, corresponding to Human Race Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

Shi Jian licked the wolf blood from his claws and sneered inwardly.

Those Taoist priests of White Cloud Temple were in big trouble. This beast tide had likely only just begun. If a powerful Demon General had truly emerged...

This was not something a mere Baiyun Prefecture could resolve.

When the time comes...

Perhaps the surrounding counties, or even the Nascent Soul Sects above them, would be alarmed. Coupled with the fact that the Master of Baiyun Temple was suspected of being injured and losing his Lifespan...

In the future, this county might truly change hands because of this!

This was the inevitable trend of events.
