Chapter 2047: Grassland Beast Tide

He then drove his sword light to continuously sweep toward the surrounding demonic beasts, but as his gaze shifted, he scanned not far behind him.

Over there, the Long family ancestor and the others were also killing other demonic beasts.

Among them, the feather-clad young girl flicked her ten fingers, and silver rays shot out like a rainstorm, causing a large swath of demonic beasts to fall from the sky one after another.

The disheveled Lin family man had an extra crystal-clear, fiery-red jade ruler in his hand, from which clusters of flames splashed and shot out, instantly turning each demonic beast into a fireball.

The Long family ancestor and that Elder Hui: one had his two hands transformed into a pair of golden giant claws, and as he waved them, countless claw shadows whistled and shrieked in the void. The other had his sleeves fluttering, with clusters of green gas rolling out.

Once the demonic beasts approached within a hundred zhang of the two, they were either instantly torn into countless fragments or their bodies stiffened and they immediately died of poison.

As for the Spirit race side, the hidden old scholar had a green ancient lamp in his hand at some unknown time, and dozens of purple lamp flames flew out from it in a cycle, shrouding an area of about an acre of the void beneath them.

Wherever the purple shadows passed, numerous demonic beasts turned into wisps of green smoke and disappeared.

As for that mysterious Spirit race member, Bai Qi, he did not move his hands or feet within his protective spiritual light, only drifting forward slowly. But wherever the white light passed, the nearby demonic beasts were torn apart one after another, as if they had been struck by countless sharp blades at the same time.

And that thin Elder Jin Gu had a copper gong-like object appear before him; it seemed to only emit a low humming sound, but all the demonic beasts that pounced near him immediately swayed unsteadily like they were drunk, and finally fell to the ground headfirst.

The last youth with a wooden expression, "Zhi Shui," had a set of silver battle armor appear on his body at some unknown time, completely protecting his skin without exposing a single bit, and he charged into the forefront of the beast herd like a hurricane.

Wherever the rumbling sound passed, the severed limbs of demonic beasts danced in the sky, looking quite bloodthirsty and violent.

Han Li frowned slightly after seeing all this.

He did not know if their group was unlucky or if it was truly not the right time to come to this Demon Realm grassland.

They had only walked for a dozen days along the edge of this grassland when they unexpectedly encountered a tidal wave of massive beast herds running out from the depths of the grassland.

Han Li and the others, who knew the terror of the Spirit Realm's beast tides, were naturally startled and immediately wanted to avoid the beast herd and take a detour.

But they still underestimated the severity of this Demon Calamity beast tide. The demonic beasts surging out from the grassland were endless and inexhaustible, and they were all uniformly this kind of demonic beast that resembled a wild wolf.

This type of beast was not high in rank, with most being at the Foundation Establishment or Core Formation stage, and the most powerful ones seemed to be no different from Spirit Severing cultivators, but their sheer numbers were enough to make ordinary cultivators despair at the sight.

Even though the Long family ancestor and the others did not hesitate to use their magic power to unleash major moves from the beginning, killing a million of these demonic beasts in one breath, they were forcibly dragged into the herd by the beasts' reliance on their endless numbers.

Wave after wave of demonic beasts surrounded Han Li and the others; no matter how many were killed, the demonic beasts appearing around them never seemed to decrease, as if their numbers were truly infinite.

Although the Long family ancestor and the others relied on their vast divine abilities, they could only huddle together in this situation and fight their way forward with combined strength.

But this group of demonic beasts seemed to have set their sights on their group, launching near-"suicidal" attacks on them from morning until night, never giving them a moment to stop or catch their breath.

They had been killing among these demonic beasts for two days and two nights, but now, wherever their eyes looked, there were still heavy black shadows everywhere, and there was no sign of breaking out of the encirclement.

Because of this, not only did Han Li gasp in his heart, but the Long family ancestor, Saintess Qianqiu, and the others also secretly frowned.

With so many demonic beasts, if the beast tides that erupted in the human territories were compared to this, it would be a world of difference. Perhaps only the massive sea beast herds in the Spirit Realm's sea regions could be mentioned in the same breath as this.

Han Li suddenly raised one hand, and with a loud thunderous sound, several golden electric arcs as thick as bowls flashed and submerged into another herd of beasts that was pouncing over.

Immediately, golden light flickered and thunder and lightning intertwined.

Three or four hundred demonic beasts were instantly turned into charcoal and wiped out completely.

Even though these demonic beasts were fearless of death, they were greatly frightened upon seeing this situation, and their subconscious movements slowed down.

Taking this opportunity, Han Li's figure flickered, and he disappeared without a trace.

The next moment, fluctuations arose beside the Long family ancestor, and Han Li appeared nearby in a flash.

"Brother Long, this is not looking good. Although our magic power is vast, we cannot kill all these demonic beasts. Moreover, these demonic beasts are so fearless of death that there must be something like a Beast King driving them from behind, and no matter how many are damaged, they will never stop pestering us." Han Li said solemnly to the Long family ancestor.

"Fellow Daoist is right, I have thought of this as well. Otherwise, these demonic beasts should have known to retreat after we killed so many of them. It is not suitable for us to continue to stalemate with these demonic beasts; otherwise, it would be troublesome if we were discovered by passing high-level Demon race members. I must kill that Beast King and completely disperse these demonic beasts." The Long family ancestor nodded gloomily, then suddenly pressed one palm toward the void in the distance.

Boom!

A blurry giant palm immediately appeared in the sky and fell down.

An invisible giant force immediately pressed down on the bottom with great momentum.

Hundreds of demonic beasts let out a mournful cry and were instantly pressed into meat paste.

At this time, the Long family ancestor moved his lips slightly and sent a voice transmission to the Spirit race group to discuss for a few moments.

Then, after his eyes flickered slightly, he turned his head and said to Han Li:

"Fellow Daoist Han, I have already communicated with Fellow Daoist Qianqiu. Among this group, only the four of us are at the late-stage cultivation level, so I think we can kill that Beast King existence alone. Let Saintess Ye and the others continue to hold this place to attract the attention of these demonic beasts, while we few kill in four directions to find and kill that Beast King. Let's set the time limit at three hours. If it exceeds this time, Brother Han should return immediately, and we will think of other ways to break out of the beast tide. However, I think that Beast King cannot be too far away. Otherwise, it would be impossible to control such a large space and make these ordinary demonic beasts fearless of death."

"That is fine. I just used my spiritual sense to search the east. The aura of the demonic beasts there is quite strong, and the Beast King might be hiding there, so I will take a trip there."

The Long family ancestor naturally agreed immediately, then gave a few instructions to Elder Hui, took a big step, and killed toward the beast herd in the west, seemingly slow but actually fast.

As for Saintess Qianqiu and Bai Qi, the two late-stage Holy Spirits, they went south and north respectively, heading toward the other two directions.

Amidst the frantic howling of numerous demonic beasts, the three of them submerged into the pitch-black beast herd in the blink of an eye and disappeared.

The feather-clad young girl and the others, whose cultivation was slightly weaker, changed their consciousness and vaguely formed a circle, remaining here to resist the swarming demonic beasts.

Seeing this situation, Han Li took a light breath, and after his figure moved, he immediately turned into a green rainbow and shot out.

"Chi chi" sword qi sounds rang out.

Wherever the green rainbow passed, blood flowed like a river, and the demonic beasts were cut into two pieces one after another.

Han Li charged in for more than two hours.

Along the way, the seventy-two small swords were driven as if they were seventy-two flood dragons, circling and dancing around his escape light, vaguely revealing a trace of invisible, strange coldness.

Some demonic beasts were cut open before the green light even landed on them.

It could be seen that after Han Li's cultivation base greatly advanced, not only did his magic power surge, but the power of the Green Bamboo Bee Cloud Swords also increased by a large margin out of thin air.

But Han Li felt a trace of anxiety in his heart.

Although he encountered several mutated demonic beasts along the way, their strength was only comparable to late-stage Spirit Severing cultivators, and they could not be the Beast King commanding so many demonic beasts.

Seeing that the three hours were almost up and the number of demonic beasts ahead still did not decrease, he felt hesitant about whether to go back and reunite with the others.

And just as his thoughts were turning, his expression suddenly moved, and his gaze scanned the beast herd ahead with some surprise.

Almost at the same time, violent cracking sounds suddenly came from far ahead, and then those ferocious demonic beasts that were pouncing toward Han Li suddenly let out whimpering sounds from their mouths, and then changed their direction in unison, pouncing and fleeing backward.

Han Li was stunned by this scene, but after narrowing his eyes, he did not hesitate to urge his escape light.

The green rainbow let out a mournful whistle, instantly releasing a dazzling green light and shooting straight toward the opposite side.

Those demonic beasts blocking the front were stirred into powder by the green sword light, but even so, the other demonic beasts still did not look back and just frantically retreated backward.

As Han Li's thoughts turned, the sword light he was driving ahead changed slightly; it still looked like patches of green light, but its power was restrained by more than half, and he followed some of the demonic beasts and shot straight toward the cracking sounds in the distance.

With his current escape speed, plus the situation where there were no demonic beasts blocking him, he naturally escaped more than a hundred miles in an instant.

But just at this moment, Han Li suddenly stopped his escape light and scanned the front with a slightly changed expression.

He saw that in the sky only a few miles away from him, a large group of green demonic beasts had suddenly appeared, coldly blocking the front.

These demonic beasts were much larger in appearance than their peers, and their hard fur was vaguely flashing with a green, ghostly light, and there was a faint, fishy smell, making them look extremely poisonous.

Those demonic beasts that were fleeing in a panic, upon seeing these mutated peers, did not hesitate to split to both sides and escape to the rear.

Han Li did not care about this at all, but his gaze followed these fleeing demonic beasts and looked intently into the distance.

He saw that behind this batch of green demonic beasts, a large area was empty, and more than a dozen pale silver, taller demonic beasts were frantically attacking two figures.

Beside these pale silver demonic beasts, there was a demonic beast with black fur but two five-colored strange horns on its head, lying motionless in mid-air, bleeding profusely.

Above the head of this demonic beast, a pale silver object was quietly floating there, and a half-burned gray incense candle was inserted into it, slowly emitting wisps of green smoke.

And these green smoke wisps actually surrounded the area around this open space, turning into a faint circle that was almost impossible to see clearly.

Further away, there was another batch of green beasts bringing a dense crowd of ordinary demonic beasts, surrounding this open space tightly.

No matter what kind of demonic beast they were, they would let out angry low roars from time to time, but not a single one dared to rush into the huge circle formed by the green smoke, as if they were extremely wary of these green smoke wisps.
