Chapter 51

"Too many!"

Yu Changsheng sighed.

The number of demonic beasts had already increased from the initial hundred or so to several hundred, and there were even more demonic beasts in other directions, affecting most of the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm.

Even here, he could faintly hear the miserable screams of outer disciples being torn apart and devoured by demonic beasts.

Although these demonic beasts were all First Rank, their fearless charges could still bring Yu Changsheng enormous trouble; if it weren't for the Chi She Wang's poison mist and flames clearing out an area, they might have died in that encirclement just now.

"Awoo!"

Just as Yu Changsheng was pondering.

Suddenly, a huge roar came from the mountain forest.

His complexion changed slightly, and he turned his head to look.

He saw a huge black bear leading dozens of demonic beasts rapidly break through the poison mist, running toward this side; the highest among them had reached First Rank Peak.

And on its back stood a tall monkey with thick black hair, a disheveled head and a pair of blood-red eyes, looking just like a wild man.

"Wild Mountain Monkey!"

Not far away, Wang Qizheng's complexion turned ugly; he recognized this monkey's origin.

Previously, he had been forced into a corner by this monkey and had to use a Scatter Demon Yuan Pill; as a result, unexpectedly, the Scatter Demon Yuan Pill stimulated the monkey troop, triggering a beast tide.

And this First Rank Peak Wild Mountain Monkey, logically speaking, should have been hit by the Scatter Demon Yuan Pill and lain on the ground unable to move; how could it have the strength to move? And it even pursued them all the way here!

Little did they know, this Wild Mountain Monkey had eaten many spirit fruits since childhood, and as one of the overlords of the Ten Thousand Beasts Secret Realm, it had many demonic beasts loyal to it; after being poisoned, they immediately went to find all kinds of spirit fruits for it, forcibly alleviating the symptoms.

After that, it relied on its innate skill, Earth Grace, to quickly recover its strength.

Now, even if not at its peak, it still had eighty percent of its power.

Enemies meeting, eyes especially red.

Whether it was Wang Qizheng or Yu Changsheng and the others, all were identified as enemies by this Wild Mountain Monkey.

"Roar roar roar!" The Wild Mountain Monkey hammered its chest, eyes blood-red, leaping up from the black bear.

"Bang!" Its two fists fiercely struck the ground.

The next moment, the ground surged with sharp spikes one after another, piercing the surrounding trees, the grass rolling.

Yu Changsheng's complexion sank, and he hurriedly controlled the Chi She Wang to maneuver and dodge.

This move was the Wild Mountain Monkey's Earth Spike, a type of exceptionally powerful innate spell.

Every attack could attach to the ground, summoning incomparably hard earth spikes, with an effective range reaching several hundred meters, even harder to deal with than ordinary Qi Refining Peak cultivators.

"Damn it!" Yu Changsheng cursed lowly, hurriedly separating from the Chi She Wang and dodging the Earth Spike attacks.

And Zhuang Yan beside him didn't react as fast; his thigh was grazed by an earth spike, blood flowing, nearly falling.

Fortunately, the Chi She Wang's tail coiled and threw him high forward, saving him from a death fate.

"First Rank Peak demonic beasts have all come out; is the selection still not over?"

Yu Changsheng didn't know how many people had died now, but there was no doubt the current selection difficulty had already exceeded the outer disciples.

Three thousand outer disciples, even if they all joined hands, would absolutely be no match for this massive beast tide.

He raised his eyes to gaze afar, his divine sense probing a thousand meters; just in this vicinity there were already nearly a thousand demonic beasts.

He escaped that easily, let alone others.

"Must maintain condition, otherwise being left behind means it's over."

"Moreover, I'm not having an easy time; that guy is even more miserable than me."

Yu Changsheng popped a few Qi Recovery Pills, turned his head to glance. He saw Wang Qizheng was the first to suffer the Wild Mountain Monkey's focused attacks, and around him a black bear led more than ten demonic beasts to surround him, sticking to him all the way.

Relying on Shadow Flash, the other party dodged several dangers, but still couldn't shake off the Wild Mountain Monkey's pursuit.

"This escape technique is really good; if there's a chance, why don't I send him on his way."

Yu Changsheng's mind stirred.

Although he had the Wind Travel Technique as a body technique, he lacked an escape technique that could blink; this kind of escape technique was almost non-existent among outer disciples, and even few outer sect disciples knew it; he truly didn't know how the other party obtained it.

The more Yu Changsheng watched, the more his heart moved; he coveted that technique, several times wanting to launch a fireball or have the Chi She Wang intercept the other party.

But he knew that acting rashly like this, if he couldn't kill the other party, would only make the other party distance himself, escaping beyond a hundred meters.

Beyond a hundred meters, with his current strength it was very hard to strike; even with divine sense locked on, relying on Wind Travel Technique he couldn't catch up.

"Wait, must wait for a good opportunity."

Yu Changsheng glanced at the Wild Mountain Monkey, then darted to the side.

As for the Chi She Wang, no need for him to worry; the only one a bit unable to keep up was Zhuang Yan, who nearly died to demonic beast attacks several times.

After running about three kilometers, the surrounding outer disciples were nowhere to be seen.

Yu Changsheng swept his divine sense over the talisman jade; because many outer disciples had died, their talisman jades were lost, contributions cleared to zero, and the ranking list had many unfamiliar names.

From a slaughter competition it became a survival competition; if they didn't provoke the beast groups, just hunting demonic beasts, this selection could still end smoothly.

But now? Yu Changsheng secretly shook his head, heart turning a bit cold.

The Wanxiang Sect's upper echelons truly don't regard outer disciples as human; with such huge casualties they still don't stop; could it be they want to wait until only a hundred people are left alive?

Yu Changsheng took a deep breath, crossed a rock, and immediately ahead a basin appeared.

He concentrated his divine sense ahead, observed, and suddenly recalled Golden Core True Person Mu Chengping's Fireball Technique, his heart stirring.

"This is actually a good place to launch a fireball."

"Bang bang bang!"

Earth spikes appeared once again, forcing Wang Qizheng to flee in a sorry state.

This time the earth spikes' power was less, but the quantity was many; at once they filled the basin's edge, like a high wall wanting to block Wang Qizheng.

Toward this, Wang Qizheng coldly laughed; he wasn't unable to fly either; using this thing to block him was wishful thinking.

But just then, Yu Changsheng's eyes brightened; he raised his finger and aimed at him.

Simultaneously infusing the Essence into the Fireball Technique, nearly Ten Thousand Essence pushed the Spell to Small Success in a Blink! In an instant, Yu Zhangsheng comprehended the Fireball's Shang De, and a point of flame Shan Fang from his Fingertip.

This was nearly Ten Thousand Essence, he had staked everything; Ru Guo it missed or Failed. "Success or failure, rests on this single move!"

Yu Zhangsheng narrowed his eyes, then released the accumulated mana.

The flame shot out with a "whoosh".

Wang Qizheng sensed it but did not take it seriously; after all, the previous Fireballs were just like that — although a bit larger, their power and speed could not threaten his life at all.

But when the Fireball pierced through from a Hundred meters away and entered his vision, Wang Qizheng felt Bu Dui.

Because this Fireball was growing larger, and seemed to have grown a bit too large!!! "Not good!" Wang Qizheng let out an Exclamation, wanting to cast an Escape Technique.

Behind, the black bear braked to a halt, the wild mountain monkey terrifiedly tried to retreat.

But everything was too late.

The next second, scorching flame lit up, like the sun rising from the horizon.

"Boom—!"
