Chapter 57: The Appearance of a Fifth-Level Magic Beast

  Everyone present took a closer look and found that it was Jia Xin, the Second Prince, and Gu Lin, with a huge demon beast chasing after them.

  "The Fifth-Order Magical Beast, Emerald Tiger." As they caught sight of the beast's appearance, the faces of everyone present changed dramatically, and they exclaimed in shock.

  "Roar."

  The fifth-level beast was extremely ferocious, tearing open its throat and letting out a long howl. A visible wave of sound rippled towards this side, causing the ears of everyone present to buzz with shock.

  "Hiss." Although there were many people on this side, the Green Devil Tiger was not afraid at all and continued to chase after Gu Lin and his two companions, determined to kill them.

  Upon seeing this situation, Gu Lin's three faces changed color. They couldn't resist a fifth-level magic beast; if they were caught up to, there would be only one dead end.

  "You beast, how dare you!"

  He finally reacted, Gu Huo let out a loud roar, slapped his palm on the seat, and his body soared into the air, agilely flying over to block the Green Devil Tiger.

  "Roar." Suddenly someone appeared, the Green Devil Tiger was extremely displeased, and directly raised its sturdy right arm, slapping it towards Gu Ho with a very strong momentum.

  "Peng." The ancient Huo wrapped his arms around the yellow soul force, fearlessly confronting the green devil tiger. The two figures collided, producing a muffled sound.

  However, both sides were unscathed in that collision and fought together under everyone's gaze.

  "Old Huo's master, I'm here to help you." The imperial ruler also quickly jumped up and arrived beside Gu Lin in a flash, joining hands to fight against the fifth-level demon beast.

  "Hiss." At this time, another stout figure slipped out, but it turned out to be the master of the Jia family, Jia Ding. This can't be helped, who let one of the three people being chased and killed earlier be Jia Xin.

  "Peng, peng."

  Three figures and the Green Devil Tiger clashed together, with one explosion after another echoing through the air. The cultivators who were too close hastily retreated to a distance, lest they be affected.

  "What a strong fighting aura." Looking at the three figures entwined with the Green Devil Tiger, Yi Chen's eyes flashed with longing and fervor.

  Huanghun realm, that was exactly the realm he had been dreaming of for a long time.

  "I didn't expect the Tian Forest to actually have a level 5 demon beast, it seems that what happened back then wasn't just a rumor, but fact." Yi Siqing did not go up to help, three yellow soul realm cultivators were enough to deal with the level 5 demon beast.

  "This is just right, let's see what kind of expression Gu Huo will make later, and whether he really dares to give us his head as a night pot." Yi Chen said with a light smile.

  "You little scamp, you're quite the loss, but it's really exciting to call someone." Eason burst out laughing, this was his most refreshing and enjoyable laugh in all these years.

  When it comes to enemies, Yi Chen has never known the word mercy. He shrugged and turned his head to watch the battle on the other side.

  A fifth-level demon beast's physical strength was extremely powerful, with each blow possessing astonishing might. However, it was facing a cultivator of the same level, and at that, one against three, so naturally it wasn't a match and was at a disadvantage.

  "Roar."

  After a brief battle, the green demon tiger with extremely high spiritual intelligence let out a loud roar and swiped its paw at the ruler and Jia Ding, sending them flying backward. It then turned around and fled in the direction of the Tian Du Forest at an incredible speed.

  "Get out of here, you beast!"

  Gu Huo's face was stern and ruthless, his lean body flashed by, accompanied by a residual shadow, blocking the Green Devil Tiger in front of him.

  "Fourth-Rank Lower-Grade Soul Skill — Azure Thunder Palm!"

  A majestic soul force surged out, Gu Ho's hands drew a peculiar gesture in front of him, and then slapped the Green Devil Tiger's head with an angry thunderous momentum.

  "Boom." This move was extremely powerful. The Green Devil Tiger dodged too late and was struck by the palm, its massive body sent flying backward.

  This sudden stop made Jia Ding and the other two react, and they quickly rushed up together, using their soul techniques to suppress Gu Huo and the others once again.

  Even if the fifth-level demon beast was strong, it could only be defeated in front of the three Huang Xuan realm cultivators. Under everyone's gaze, Gu Ho and his two companions joined forces to kill the Green Devil Tiger.

  "The Huang Xuan realm is indeed incredibly powerful and unmatched. I wonder when we can advance to that realm." Many cultivators' eyes were filled with longing.

  Yi Chen was no exception, but that hint of longing only flashed for a moment, and his face didn't show any change.

  "There is still a quasi-yellow soul realm above the Chen Hun Realm. Only by breaking through the quasi-yellow soul realm can one truly enter the yellow soul realm. According to your cultivation talent, you should be able to enter the quasi-yellow soul realm within half a year."

  Yi Si Qing caught Yi Chen's emotional change and smiled immediately.

  Above the Soul Realm, there is also a quasi-Huang Soul Realm. This was the first time Yi Chen had heard of it, and his eyebrows furrowed at once.

  Promoting to quasi-Huangjing requires half a year, and truly entering Huangjingshen, how much more time is needed, one year or two years?

  If so, Yi Chen didn't know when he would be able to find that Autumn Shaoxiang to avenge himself.

  "Never mind, seeking quick success and instant benefits will only ruin my future. I'd better cultivate diligently." With a slight shake of his head, Yi Chen dispelled the distractions in his heart and refocused on the scene before him.

  The fifth-level demon beast has been dealt with, but Gu Huo's face doesn't look very good. He handed the tail to the guard and then walked back with Jia Ding.

  Jia Xin and the Second Prince were covered in injuries, their pale faces looking pitiful. Their breathing was still very disordered, it was unclear whether they had been injured from fighting over things earlier or if they had been wounded by the Green Devil Tiger.

  The only one that can be considered intact is probably Gu Lin, who just looks a bit disheveled but still has a strong aura.

  If Yicheng didn't remember wrongly, there were a few more people with them, but no need to think too much, they must have died under the Green Demon Tiger's claws.

  "Jia Xin and Second Prince are both injured so badly, I'm afraid they won't make it to the final match." Yi Chen muttered to himself.

  As expected, the authorities and Jia Ding furrowed their brows after checking their injuries, then directly announced their withdrawal from the competition, leading them back to their seats with extremely unsightly expressions.

  "Of the three strongest contestants, only Gu Lin is left now. It seems that this year's Dragon King Championship will be taken by the Gu family again."

  "What a pity that in all these years, Ye Jia has never produced a decent disciple. Even the only direct lineage member is still just at the Chen Hun Realm."

  "Hmm, Gu's family has won the championship for two consecutive years. It seems that surpassing Yi's family is only a matter of time."

  The withdrawal of the two players sparked a lot of discussion, especially when it came to Yi Chen, the legitimate heir of the Yi family, their tone was filled with sour disdain.

  The victory was already decided, but Gu Huo couldn't get excited, still with a gloomy face, he led Gu Lin back to their seats.

  "Old master of the house, it seems you've forgotten something." Just then, Yi Chen's gentle laughter echoed through the air.

  Everyone's gaze was drawn over, turning their heads to look at Yi Chen, wondering why he had said such a thing.

  "Just now, the host of Gu's family seemed to have made a bet with my grandfather, whoever loses will cut off their head and give it to the other as a night pot. Now that a level 5 demon has really appeared, you wouldn't be thinking of going back on your word, would you?"
