Chapter 33: Life and Death, Terror Beast Tide!

  The cyan dragon's speed was extremely fast during the foundation-building period, and it instantly closed the distance of just two zhangs with a single swing of its tail! Wang Chen glanced back and saw the scene of the dragon swinging its tail.

  Flickering shadows, suddenly arrived!

  "It can't go on like this, we'll be caught up in no time!"

  Wang Chen thought to himself, feeling a twinge of guilt. At the beginning when everyone was hesitant, it was he who had insisted on proceeding, or else they wouldn't have ended up in this predicament. As they fled, Wang Chen gritted his teeth and made up his mind, pulling out a dozen talismans from his storage bag and hurling them at the dragon.

  Pffft! Pffft!

  The power of the Fu Seal is not strong, but the Jiaolong in the foundation period has a higher spiritual intelligence, and the wounds on its body are still very serious. Facing one spell after another, it can only dodge. With this dodge, the direction changes, the speed suddenly drops, and the distance increases during the chase.

  However, the Jiaolong that had just entered the foundation period was still no match for a cultivator in the fourth stage of Qi Refining. Although there were talismans causing trouble, the heavily injured Jiaolong and Wang Chen's group were slowly closing the distance between them.

  How many talismans were in Wang Chen's storage bag, even Wang Chen himself didn't know. Talismans were a means for other cultivators to earn spirit stones, but for Wang Chen, they were a method of cultivation. Moreover, Wang Chen also had the tendency of being an ascetic cultivator.

  This trend was irreversible when it came to Liuyunfang City. Because of the properties of Wulinggen, even if they bought spiritual medicine and took it, the effect was still pitiful.

  If a single-spirited cultivator can absorb 90% of the spiritual energy of the Nine-Turn Pill, then a dual-spirited one can absorb 70%, and so on. By extension, a five-spirited cultivator can only absorb 10%, which means that a five-spirited cultivator is almost doomed to stay in the Qi Refining stage for their entire life, and even then, it's only the early or middle stages.

  Creating talismans and grasping the way of the Five Elements is another kind of cultivation method for Wang Chen. This cultivation method, Wang Chen has not been lazy for a moment, and the growth of his cultivation is not the only benefit, the large number of talismans he created are also a bonus.

  In total, how many talismans were made, Wang Chen himself did not count carefully. As long as the income from selling talismans could meet his own needs, Wang Chen would not sell more. After all, he didn't have too much strength to sell so many talismans. It was clear that looking for death, even if he wasn't killed, being locked up and constantly making talismans for others was extremely hard work!

  The oppressive aura of the Jiaolong made everyone's heart hang tightly. Wang Chen also spared no expense in using the talismans from his storage bag, and finally, after a dozen or so seconds, the speed of the Jiaolong was slightly slowed down by the barrage of talismans.

  Two fireballs slammed onto the Jiaolong's body, eliciting two loud cries. The crowd had already reached a fever pitch, and yet the Jiaolong continued to slowly close the distance between them.

  The fleeing crowd had no time to think that the dragon's roar was so clear, why didn't any masters come to fight for it, after all, the dragon was a treasure on its body!

  At this moment, thousands of kilometers away on the mountain range, from high above, a layer of black waves with majestic momentum swept across the entire demon beast mountain range. Looking closer, those waves turned out to be individual demon beasts of various shapes and forms, although there was mutual slaughter among them, but the overall tide of beasts seemed to be rushing towards the outer periphery of the demon beast mountain range.

  Racing footsteps, shaking the earth!

  The loud and unbridled roar tore at people's hearts!

  In front of the entire beast tide, the cultivators who had previously slaughtered demonic beasts were like duckweed on the ocean, torn apart and submerged in fear and panic.

  The beast tide continued to move forward, and after walking out of the mountain range, it surprisingly rushed towards the city. At the same time, in the black Wucheng City, a green light burst out from a certain cave, and the green light stopped above the city. A green-robed Taoist appeared from within, standing in mid-air without relying on any magical tools, revealing himself to be a Golden Elixir Cultivator.

  "Attention all Masters, Beast Tide is coming, activate formation, below demonic beast"

  As the voice of the Master fell, two more Transcendent Realm cultivators appeared, and under their joint efforts, they began to give orders to the Foundation Establishment stage cultivators. After a short while, all the cultivators in the city were mobilized by the three major sects to defend against the beast tide. Various required elixirs and array formations were also sold at discounted prices, with mid-grade spirit stones placed inside the arrays, which were maintained in an activated state!

  The Beast Tide War is about to begin!

  …….

  On the other side, Blackbird Mountains.

  Although this mountain range has a variety of demon beasts and a large number, only one weak black bird demon beast dominates! When the beast tide began not long ago, the demon beasts in the Black Bird Mountain Range were also summoned by an unknown demon king, under the pressure of higher-level demon beasts. The black bird demon beast transformed into a 1-kilometer-wide dark cloud and swept away under the leadership of its own Black Bird King.

  The black cloud was like a monster's big mouth, swallowing everything wherever it went! Monks, demons and all sorts of unknown spiritual medicines were swallowed up! Millions of black bird demons swept past, leaving the land in ruins after their passage.

  …….

  Wang Chen and the others didn't run for long, just about a kilometer. Even with Xuzi's restraint, Jiaolong was only three zhang away from them!

  Ahh!

  The azure dragon raised its head and let out a loud roar, immediately spitting out a piece of azure light. The azure light surrounded the dragon's two wings, and suddenly, two wind wings faintly appeared! After the wind wings appeared, the dragon's speed suddenly increased greatly, and the distance of three zhang was quickly shortened.

  King Chen, who had been paying attention to what was happening behind him, felt a sudden jolt in his heart!

  "The bloodline of an ancient exotic species! This dragon's bloodline actually contains the bloodline of an ancient exotic beast!"

  Wang Chen exclaimed in his heart, how could an ordinary Jiaolong bloodline have wings! Only the beasts that inherited the ancient bloodline had them.

  The ancient alien beasts have different talents and endowments, with broad divine powers. The bloodline of the Jiaolong itself is not ordinary. For ordinary snakes to stimulate the bloodline of the Jiaolong to reach the transformation period, that is, the Yuan Ying period of a cultivator. Those with slightly better talent can reach the Jin Dan period, and this white phosphorus snake can stimulate a small amount of Jiaolong bloodline in the foundation-building period, which is equivalent to having a single spiritual root as a cultivator.

  Moreover, there is still a legacy of ancient strange beasts in the bloodline, which is even more unthinkable!

  Wang Chen's heart was shocked, but his hands didn't stop, and two dozen talismans were thrown out in an instant. The Qianjun Sword appeared in his hand from the storage bag. With the Qianjun Sword in hand, Wang Chen's momentum increased a lot! Originally, the pressure of the Jiaolong at the foundation-building stage was much reduced, and in the midst of crisis, the five-layer sword intent realm had made some breakthroughs.

  Jian Shi Jing Six Layers! Wang Chen's body suddenly surged with a different kind of pressure that was unlike the Qi Practicing stage. However, this pressure wasn't obvious, and everyone was desperately fleeing, so they didn't notice it!

  "Go, go quickly!"

  Wang Chen let out a low shout and charged forward at the same time. The Qianjun Sword swung past with a whistling sound, and the dragon snake's tail swished to dodge, but under Wang Chen's full force, the sword's boundary was revealed, and the snake's tail was slightly restrained by the surrounding space.

  Bang! Bang!

  The first sound was Wang Chen's Thousandfold Sword slamming onto the snake's tail, and the second sound was the dragon colliding with Wang Chen in pain. Quickly getting up from the ground, Wang Chen spat out a mouthful of blood, "This dragon is really powerful!"

  It turns out that the dragon's scales are thick and powerful, representing a high level of physical strength. The power of most high-level cultivators is measured in units of dragons, with one Jiaolong equivalent to 100,000 catties and one Long equivalent to 1 million catties! In fact, the power of a mature Jiaolong is much greater than that, probably several million catties. However, the dragon clan is too powerful, and in comparison, the difference in strength with other demon clans is not very large. Many demons even surpass dragons in terms of strength!

  Wang Chen rushed towards the giant python at the same time, and several people heard Wang Chen's words hesitated slightly before turning around to escape. Shi Tong was also pulled away by Shi Tian. However, after seeing Wang Chen being knocked flying and vomiting blood, Shi Tong hurriedly wanted to run back!

  "Brother Chen! Brother Chen, waaahhh..."

  Wang Chen turned around to see Shi Tong, his heart racing with urgency, "Hurry up and leave, Tong'er, hurry up!" As he spoke, he felt a sense of unease, and when he turned around again, he saw a large snake tail attacking!

  Bang!

  Wang Chen was thrown far away and fell beside Shi Tong. Shi Tong hurriedly helped Wang Chen up, "Brother Chen, I don't want to leave, I don't want to leave you! Don't..." Shi Tong stayed behind, sobbing.

  Wang Chen looked at Shi Tong, a wave of unbearable feeling, but after an instant, his eyes flashed and he raised his hand to slap him!

  "What do you know! You only know how to cause trouble! If it weren't for us protecting you all the way, you would have died long ago! Not to mention your current cultivation!" Wang Chen shouted loudly. The atmosphere suddenly became cold and quiet.

  Shi Tian was about to rush up, but he stopped after taking a look at the situation.

  Wang Chen's curse left Shi Tong stunned, but Jiaolong didn't stop! A cyan wind blade was spat out, and Wang Chen dodged it. Another one charged towards Shi Tong, who was still in a daze and unaware of the danger, about to be killed by the wind blade. At the critical moment, Wang Chen exerted himself to block in front of Shi Tong.

  Bang!

  Wang Chen fell to the ground, and fresh blood seeped out of his back again. Shi Tong hurriedly took out medicine to apply on him, but was pushed away by Wang Chen!

  "Hurry up and leave! Don't bother me anymore! What can you do? Get out! Hurry up and get out!" Wang Chen's eyes were sharp, his tone scolding. Shi Tong stood foolishly, tears streaming down her face.

  Suppressing the unbearable emotions in his heart, Wang Chen glanced at Shi Tian with a hint of his eyes, and Shi Tian understood and forcibly pulled Shi Tong and Mr. and Mrs. Li away. The sound of Shi Tong's crying slowly faded away, but her beautiful and sorrowful expression just now left Wang Chen feeling a pang of sadness!

  "Come on! I don't believe you can't spare a moment!"

  Wang Chen broke free from the restraints of a few people, and instead completely let go, bursting out with all his might, an astonishing aura sweeping out! He swung out the Thousand Jin Sword, Wang Chen once again charged towards the Jiaolong, two loud crashes! But it was a mutual defeat!

  Wang Chen was no match for Jiaolong's strength, so he could only use close combat tactics. Although Jiaolong had entered the Foundation Establishment period, it was still too early, and he hadn't yet gotten used to the power of this stage. The wind-water dual-attribute Jiaolong was forced to give up its advantage in magical abilities and engage Wang Chen in a fierce hand-to-hand combat!

  Even so, if it dragged on like this, Wang Chen would still not be able to hold on. After all, after a long time, the Foundation Establishment stage dragon had thoroughly grasped the power of the Foundation Establishment stage.

  The current Jiaolong is only in the half-built foundation period and has just been promoted, but it has not yet fully grasped the power of the foundation period!

  Bang!

  Wang Chenfei fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood! His body was already covered in wounds! However, Jiaolong's injuries were even more severe, with a large chunk of flesh smashed off its tail, almost severed by the Thousand Jin Sword!

  "This monster!" Wang Chen felt a sense of helplessness, the boundary of his swordsmanship was just barely even with the dragon's, otherwise he would have lost already! "No way, those few people haven't gone far yet, at least I need to hold on for a while longer!"

  Just as Wang Chen was about to continue charging towards the Jiaolong, entwining and fighting, a buzzing sound came from afar! The sound started out very faint, but in the blink of an eye it slowly grew louder. After hesitating for a moment, the sound became deafening!

  Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

  A dragon stirred restlessly in the empty sky, its entire body exuding an aura of dominance from the foundation period.

  However, Wang Chen saw a flock of black clouds flying from afar, and some of them came in! Those clouds were actually a group of fist-sized black birds! In an instant, Wang Chen thought of many things.

  "The Black Bird Fiend of the Black Bird Mountain Range, this form is probably several million years old!"

  "It's been so long since I've seen another monk!"

  "A strange and inexplicable unease... Could it be... Beast Tide?!"

  Wang Chen didn't dare to think about the horror of the beast tide, his face turned pale in an instant, countless thoughts flashed through his mind, and with a gritted teeth, he ran towards the Black Bird Mountain Range again!

  As he left, Wang Chen turned back to take a look. The distant roaring dragon was surrounded by layers of black birds, and the snake's body could not be seen! Although black birds kept falling, the overall number of black birds did not decrease! The dragon's roar grew weaker and weaker until no sound came out anymore!

  Wang Chen took a last glance back and quickly ran towards the Straight Dragon's Pond!
