Chapter 431: Chapter 232 Ancient Demon Beast
Right!
Just repelled!
Not killed!
The powerful force of the Jade Sea Listening Wave Sword, a Top Grade Spirit Sword, did not kill the opponent!
Instead, Li Yunjing’s palm sustained a massive counterforce; if not for his quick reaction, the Jade Sea Listening Wave Sword would have flown out of his hand.
This greatly shocked Li Yunjing; it was an attack from a Top Grade Spiritual Artifact!
The Jade Sea Listening Wave Sword also carried his full strength; how could it be ineffective?
Li Yunjing looked closely at the Demon Beast opposite him. It had a sheep’s body and a human face, with eyes located under its armpits, tiger teeth, human claws, and it was making a "yiyiyiyi" sound at Li Yunjing!
Its claw now had a deep cut, bleeding heavily!
His strike didn’t even sever the opponent’s claw, merely injuring it and causing a blood flow?
"Wait! What is this thing?"
Li Yunjing was just coming out of his shock, looked closely again, and was stunned!
What did he see?
This was actually a "Pao Xiao" from legends!
This type of Demon Beast nearly doesn’t exist in the Great Ming Dynasty.
Rumored to be creatures from the Ancient Era that liked to eat humans.
Originally, during the Ancient Era, the Human Race rose and slaughtered countless ancient Demon Beasts, ruling the land.
But now, seeing this creature again!
This gave Li Yunjing a shock akin to returning to humanity’s primitive era.
If someone had told him before today that there were remnants of ancient Demon Beasts at the border, Li Yunjing would never have believed it.
The Shenxiao Jade Scroll had recorded that these creatures were extinct.
Li Yunjing hadn’t expected to see such creatures from ancient times here in the icy snow.
No wonder this thing was so formidable, even capable of injuring Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators of the Shenxiao Dao Sect!
"Brother Li, be careful! This Demon Beast’s strength is comparable to Foundation Establishment Realm Seventh Heaven!"
The injured fellow disciple retreated a few steps, quickly took some healing medicine, and shouted at Li Yunjing.
After speaking, he kept on guard, carefully recovering while preparing to counter the Demon Beast’s attack.
"So unlucky!"
Li Yunjing, hearing this, couldn’t help but shiver.
The repelled Pao Xiao seemed very angry, charged at Li Yunjing again, ignoring the previously injured cultivator.
Seeing this, Li Yunjing realized the Jade Sea Listening Wave Sword couldn’t kill the beast outright; he wouldn’t dare confront it head-on.
Li Yunjing swiftly evaded the beast’s attack using the Fire Dragon Divine Light Transformation, and from a distance, cast a Palm Thunder toward the beast.
"Boom!"
After the explosion, the Pao Xiao wasn’t injured; instead, it grew even angrier, quickening its pace towards Li Yunjing.
"Indeed, it can’t be hurt!"
Seeing this, Li Yunjing turned into a streak of red light, flying ahead.
Now was not the time to fight desperately. The others were doing fine; soon, reinforcements would come, and he just needed to wait.
Another ancient Demon Beast with steel-like muscles and bones comparable to Foundation Establishment Realm Seventh Heaven; Li Yunjing couldn’t take it down head-on.
The Pao Xiao seemed slow-witted and wasn’t that fast; Li Yunjing decided to kite it, attacking from afar while evading its pursuit around the battlefield, ensuring it couldn’t catch up.
"Yiyiyiyi..."
The Pao Xiao cried angrily like a baby but couldn’t catch up to Li Yunjing to attack him.
"Hahaha! You dumb beast!"
Li Yunjing laughed, even finding the time to kill several Qi Refining Realm Great Perfection Demon Beasts while evading the Pao Xiao.
If anyone tried to help him, Li Yunjing would shout, "This beast is an ancient Demon Beast of Foundation Establishment Realm Seventh Heaven, I’ll kite it first; you deal with the easier ones!"
"Okay! Be careful!"
The surrounding fellow disciples, hearing this, immediately pulled back and continued attacking the other Demon Beasts.
Li Yunjing made perfect sense!
Since the Pao Xiao was tough, they would deal with it last, everyone cooperating to take it down.
In the Immortal Cultivation Realm, it’s not about solo duels!
With many experts in the Shenxiao Dao Sect, four or five of them together surely could kill the Pao Xiao.
At that moment, the human-faced serpent-bodied monster that had attacked Li Yunjing earlier also charged from the distance, joining the Pao Xiao to surround and attack Li Yunjing.
"Damn it! They’re both targeting me!"
Li Yunjing felt helpless but remained composed, knowing both beasts weren’t fast enough to catch him.
His team was engaged in fierce combat with the Demon Beasts, a grim scene everywhere; ordinary beasts posed no issue, but some ancient Demon Beasts mixed in caused immense trouble.
These beasts, descendants of ancient Demon Beasts, inherited their skills and racial Divine Techniques, each extremely powerful with bizarre abilities, causing significant problems for Li Yunjing’s team.
Yu Yuanhua, the strongest among them, surrounded by bodies of dozens of Demon Beasts that had attacked him.
These beasts, unaware of their impending doom, couldn’t last a single round against Yu Yuanhua and were slaughtered instantly.
Now, no beast dared to approach Yu Yuanhua.
