Protagonist:

Yu Zhangsheng

"Dong dong dong... dong dong dong..."

Dust flew as a great number of giant beasts galloped like thunder, raging against each other, letting out earth-shaking roars, advancing side by side like a surging torrent, their might shaking the heavens, destroying everything with the force of crushing dry wood and smashing rotten wood.

Thus the whole world was shocked, ten thousand beasts surging like this, Yu Zhangsheng and the others caught within their divine powers, one explosion after another rumbling and shaking the clouds. For a moment, Meng Wu'an's Sword Qi raged, sweat pouring like rain, Sword Qi forming a long rainbow, often like a blade viciously thrusting into the beast tide, drawing cries from ten thousand beasts, sword light startling, its power even causing Yu Zhangsheng to look sideways.

Yu Zhangsheng struck out, one divine power fireball after another crazily falling into the beast tide, interfering with its advance.

Li Minghan was terrified, continuing to slack off.

The three gave it their all, for a moment the rumbling sounds never ceased, the beast tide's forward momentum stalled, but that was merely so.

Overall, this beast tide advanced with an unstoppable force, charging straight and breaking all plants and trees. Under these circumstances, the distance between the two sides slowly and increasingly drew near. Although Yu Zhangsheng blocked with all his might, the approach of the herd of beasts was still inevitable.

Thus, the oppressive might shook the heavens even more, sound waves like waves, layer upon layer of rumbling in the three people's hearts and ears. Li Minghan's complexion turned pale, with a puff, a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out. Meng Wu'an waved his sword like rain, Sword Qi raging, sweat pouring like rain, nearly exhausted.

"Something's wrong. These fellows' protection isn't right, not something a First Rank Spirit Beast could achieve."

Yu Zhangsheng growled lowly, eyes bloodshot, the three exerted their divine powers to the utmost, falling into the beast tide. Already dozens of giant beasts had fallen or been severely injured under the three's divine powers, but merely occupying twenty percent of the entire beast tide, not more giant beasts. It was as if their bloodiness had been aroused, becoming even more crazed and violent, roaring continuously.

And the life-and-death crisis grew stronger in the three's hearts, turning into a world-destroying hammer, fiercely striking upon their hearts.

"It's over, it's over. Could it be that just after entering this world, I'm going to fall here? Am I too tragic?" Li Minghan's complexion was pale, with a wail, his lips twitching, his voice carrying a hint of sobbing, a face full of grief.

"Shut up, what inauspicious words are you saying? We've just arrived here? Are you giving up just like this?"

Meng Wu'an's eyes were bloodshot, his voice hoarse carrying a determined intent, grief and indignation to the utmost. The spirit sword in his hand trembled slightly, suddenly bursting out one startling cry after another. One sword fell sliding into the beast herd, drawing roars from one beast after another. But his cultivation base was sealed. Even though Meng Wu'an's swordsmanship was peerless, he could hardly unleash all its power. Slashing upon the beast tide, it was merely tickling, unable to cause true harm.

After all, these giant beasts had thick skin and tough flesh, and it was also very hard to break their defense with one sword. It wasn't that Meng Wu'an's swordsmanship was no good. Actually, every one of Meng Wu'an's swords, within the same rank, was hard to resist. If placed in the outside world, an ordinary First Rank Spirit Beast encountering him would surely shed blood.

It was just that within this Wu Dao Jie, these spirit beasts' cultivation bases appeared to be First Rank Ninth Layer, but their defensive power and the speed they burst forth, as well as their fleshly bodies, far exceeded the First Rank level, reaching an inconceivable realm.

Under these circumstances, it made the three feel willing but powerless. For a moment the atmosphere was oppressive, and the emotion of despair seemed to spread in the low spirits.

Yu Zhangsheng gritted his teeth and frowned, facing the increasingly near beast tide, a face full of unwillingness, his eyes full of surging waves. Meng Wu'an likewise pressed his lips and gritted his teeth, his gaze fading and struggling.

For them, facing this beast tide naturally they held back. If they fought desperately, they still had killer moves they could bring out. But if wasted here, the three naturally were unwilling in their hearts. For subsequent actions, it was extremely disadvantageous, especially since this Wu Dao Jie was unpredictable.

Just as the three struggled and hesitated in their hearts, wavering, the beast tide roared with might shaking the heavens. For a moment, the angry flames were like the sky, history like the fire of Jiutian extending here. Where it passed, the Prairie trembled, birds startled and trees broke, transforming into a might that soared to the sky, raging even more.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!"

The sound of breaking space suddenly and discordantly entered the three's ears. Coming at the same time was a coquettish shout, the voice clear and cold, carrying a solemn intent, falling into the three's ears, instantly stunning the three.

"Get down, be careful!"

Yu Zhangsheng and the others were shocked, their expressions changing. The turn occurred at this moment, but the feeling of a sharp edge at their backs made Yu Zhangsheng and the other two subconsciously quickly lie down.

The next moment, a golden streak streaked across the sky, swiftly passing over the heads of Yu Zhangsheng and the others. Where it passed, the Void shattered, rippling out layer upon layer of ripples. The sound of sonic booms echoed layer upon layer. There were also circles of gray halos, centering on the sword shaft, rippling in all directions.

This arrow was strange, naturally attracting all the attention of Yu Zhangsheng and the others. First one, then in a flash it became ten, ten became a hundred, filling the sky, densely packed, pouring into this beast tide.

"Roar roar roar!!"

The herd of beasts roared. The arrows fell among them, instantly causing ten thousand beasts to be terrified. But they saw these arrows shooting upon the Hundred Beasts. As they emitted flashes, layer upon layer of earth-yellow light appeared. Their Armor gave off a feeling of being indestructible. Arrow after arrow shot into them, but could not advance an inch. Occasionally a few broke through the protection, but only left a white dot on them, not penetrating flesh and blood, causing no harm.

However, the purpose of these arrows was not to break the giant beasts' protection. The next second, something happened that left Yu Zhangsheng and the others speechless.

"Hum hum hum!!"

Arrow after arrow, unable to further break the protection, suddenly burst out gray halos, enveloping the Hundred Beasts. Under this halo, the Hundred Beasts' bodies trembled. A strange power spread among them. But as the gray halo spread, the giant beasts under its cover trembled, their bodies beginning to petrify, stiff and frozen.

The beast tide's violent momentum was also halted. This allowed Yu Zhangsheng and the others to catch their breath, while their eyes shone with wonder, curiosity aroused by this strange sight. A feeling of surviving a calamity surfaced in their minds.

"Hoo hoo hoo..."

Yu Zhangsheng and the other two took a deep breath, slowly panting. They glanced at each other and saw the astonishment in each other's eyes.

"What kind of divine power is this, so strange."

Li Minghan muttered to himself, his tone full of disbelief. At this moment, the coquettish shout rang out again, falling into Yu Zhangsheng and the others' ears: "Hurry and leave. This petrification won't last long. Once the giant beasts break through, you're still dead!"

Her voice was crisp and delicate, carrying a hint of clear coldness, giving a feeling of wind-like elegance. Falling into Yu Zhangsheng and the other two's ears, it instantly stirred up waves.

Thus, Yu Zhangsheng and the other three looked toward the sound. The speaker was a beautiful woman, tall and slender, her skin carrying a hint of dark color, flashing with a faint strange light under the sunlight, possessing a unique charm.

On her forehead was a red headband, brushing against a few strands of blue silk before her forehead. At this moment, the woman's beautiful face was furrowed, her gaze sharp, her expression stern. Yet she could not hide the autumn waves in her eyes. A head of blue silk was neatly tied at the back of her head, her small mouth cherry red, giving a cherry-like feeling.

She wore a set of brown beast skin, covering key parts one or two. Her exposed collarbone rose and fell like high mountains. On her chest, huge waves rose and fell with her breathing, rippling, inspiring endless imagination. Her gourd-like waistline made one gasp, slender beyond compare. Together with her upturned buttocks, it made people instinctively speed up their heartbeat, their faces turning red.

Her calf muscles swelled, not affecting the beauty at all, but rather highlighting the fiery power beauty of her figure. Especially that red gauze covering her exposed skin half-hidden, seeming it could slide down at any moment. Her crystal clear skin and uneven figure, as she swayed, made people want to kiss her beauty, planting it like a seed in their hearts, endlessly taking root and sprouting.

Especially at this moment, this woman panted, her cold eyebrows facing Yu Zhangsheng and the other three. Her gaze like autumn water paused on the three.

Holding a Beast Skin Great Bow more than half a person tall in one hand, she bent to shoot arrows with the other. As the bow was drawn full, the woman gritted her teeth. A drop of sweat flowed on her forehead, her cheeks slightly red. She had a charm that made one admire her. Her charm and elegance perfectly matched her graceful bearing, a peerless beauty.

For a moment, Yu Zhangsheng's expression changed. Meng Wu'an's mind was shaken, secretly swallowing a mouthful of saliva. Li Minghan stared with wide eyes, his expression infatuated, drool sliding from the corner of his mouth, unknowingly, a face full of a foolish look. This drew the former's disdain, who fiercely slapped Li Minghan's head: "What are you thinking? Don't forget what time it is?"

Meng Wu'an said without good grace.

Li Minghan suddenly woke up as from a dream, withdrew his gaze, embarrassedly scratched his head, and smiled. But still unavoidably, he glanced at the woman as if unintentionally.

"What are you standing there for? Retreat. I'm going to exert force."

Seeing this, the woman scolded again. But this time, her tone was colder. In her words, she pressed her lips and gritted her teeth, her eyes carrying a hint of ruthlessness. Then she bent to nock and shoot arrows again. Several arrows shot out, the arrows shocking the air. Layer upon layer of sonic booms echoed through the clouds, making people tremble with fear, yet couldn't help sighing at what a woman not inferior to men she was.

As the arrows left, the woman's feet did not stop. She lightly tapped on the Void a few times, her figure leaping, opening distance from the beast tide.

The arrow light was like a rainbow, also illuminating the three's shocked expressions. A faint chill flickered on the arrows, allowing Yu Zhangsheng and the three's swaying thoughts to converge. They glanced at each other, seeing the solemnity in each other's eyes. "Whoosh whoosh whoosh..."

The arrows broke through space, one becoming ten, then becoming a hundred. As the woman gave a coquettish shout, exhaling like orchids, a mouthful of fresh blood fell on the arrows. Then they trembled and split again, a hundred becoming a thousand.

For a moment, the arrows were densely packed, covering Tian Di. Each carried an astonishing cold light, making people's hearts jump. A large wave of gray halos rippled on the arrow shafts, enveloping the surroundings. Instantly the Void stagnated, a mysterious meaning spread with it.

The arrows shot into the beast tide, exploding like green waves. Thus, the herd of beasts roared. Under this dense attack, many had their protection broken directly, flesh and blood flying, bleeding without stop.

As the gray halos enveloped, the power of petrification fully burst forth. Even the Void seemed petrified and frozen. Thus, the roars and shouts stopped abruptly. The surging momentum of the beast tide stagnated.

"Puff puff..."

After doing all this, the woman's face was already pale, her breathing labored. She waved her hand to stow the Beast Skin Great Bow, grunted twice to swallow back the blood surging into her mouth, glanced back at Yu Zhangsheng and the other two, and said in a low voice: "Follow me closely, hurry. They've only had their movements temporarily restricted; don't linger."

Once her words fell, she no longer paid them any mind, her steps leaping as she flew forward at high speed.

Yu Zhangsheng and the other two quickly came back to their senses, hurriedly following after her, their thoughts varied, their eyes filled with rising and falling waves, their hearts unable to find calm.

"This divine ability... gives me a strange feeling. On this arrow, it seems Dao patterns are contained? How did she do it? Truly strange. Or is there some other point I can't think of?"

Yu Zhangsheng's gaze turned sharp, his brow furrowed, feeling some doubt in his heart. While hurrying along, he raised his head to glance at the woman ahead. Thoughtful.

This woman's cultivation base, if not concealed by some special method, was not hard to sense: she was just like them, merely at Cultivation Stage 9.

But based on her strike, Yu Zhangsheng determined that this was absolutely not the power Cultivation Stage 9 could unleash.

"However, the move she unleashed had unusual power, but its effect was even more mysterious, seemingly having little to do with cultivation base, and more..."

"It's a kind of effect on and control over laws? But with merely Cultivation Stage 9 cultivation base, could one touch upon laws? Impossible."

Yu Zhangsheng frowned, his eyes flickering uncertainly, feeling doubt in his heart. He had a faint guess, but couldn't quite grasp it, as if just missing one point, never breaking through, and thus remained shrouded in mist.

Those arrows gave Yu Zhangsheng a sense of familiarity, yet he couldn't say clearly what it was—very strange, profoundly mysterious.

Thus, harboring such thoughts, Yu Zhangsheng suppressed the doubt in his heart, exhaled deeply, and instead felt some relief. He turned to glance at the beast tide, already one-third petrified, his expression startled, and he increased his speed once more.

Regarding this woman, Yu Zhangsheng didn't know her origins, but for the moment felt no malice from her. While maintaining necessary vigilance, for now there was nothing else to do but follow her to escape the crisis.

Not long after, the three ran madly all the way, and the traces of the beast tide behind them gradually disappeared. It was when the sense of crisis hanging over Yu Zhangsheng and the other two completely vanished that the three finally exhaled deeply, patted their chests with a trace of relief in their eyes, and in unison bowed with clasped fists toward the woman ahead, speaking gratefully: "Many thanks, Miss, for saving our lives. We three offer our respects. The grace of saving our lives is unforgettable. If we have the chance, we will surely repay your kindness." (Chapter End)
