Chapter 56

While sensing the Crimson Thunder Beast's thunderous might, Lu Chen also noticed the other auras around him.

Not only those fourth- and fifth-rank magic beasts, but also hidden among them are several cultivators at Yundan Perfection, even at the Huailing Stage.

"Looking at their attire, they seem to be disciples of the Heaven Demon Sect."

Lu Chen pondered briefly; Xu Cheng must have gotten the news, which surely came from the Heaven Demon Sect.

Thus, gathering so many Heaven Demon Sect disciples makes sense.

"The Heaven Demon Sect is harsher than its subordinate sects; there are no restrictions on fighting among disciples, and even if they kill fellow sect members for resources, the sect won't intervene."

Lu Chen's expression turned grave.

Thus, this contest for the rare magic beast will inevitably involve a fierce battle.

Moreover, the longer the time drags on, the more likely it is to attract more cultivators vying for it.

"Now my soul is weak, my strength is only a tenth; contending with a Huailing Stage cultivator would surely be difficult."

"However, using the newly cultivated Yin Wind Escape to seize some opportunities should pose no problem."

In a short time, he had already made a decision, planning to stand by and wait for the opportunity.

However, Xu Cheng beside him lacked such patience.

"Lu Brother, why not go up? Although the Crimson Thunder Beast's aura is strong, he has already suffered grave injuries; its staying in place is the greatest proof."

Xu Cheng said, and wanted to rush forward.

But Xu Lin beside him stopped him and shook her head.

"Senior Brother, there may be other disciples watching around; if you act now, you'll surely become the target of everyone."

When facing actual combat, Xu Lin appeared less cowardly.

Junior sister! You don't understand anything! As long as I go up and kill the Crimson Thunder Beast, I will immediately use evasion technique to escape; even if other cultivators react quickly, they may not be able to catch me.

Lu Chen felt that Xu Cheng was the type who had talent in cultivation but was rather single-minded.

But such people are actually somewhat better than those who are overly scheming.

Brother Xu, wait a little longer.

Out of consideration for Xu Lin's presence beside him, Lu Chen spoke up to dissuade him.

It was unclear whether it was because Lu Chen knew Chu Lian, or because of Xu Lin's persuasion just now, but Xu Cheng ultimately did not act.

After observing in place for not long, a cultivator could not hold back and made a move.

Someone made a move!

Following Xu Lin's gaze, two late-stage Golden Core cultivators flew out from a corner of the plain.

They were also clearly aware that someone was watching them covetously, so they acted extremely quickly, launching a killing move as soon as they arrived.

Boom!

A flash of blood light passed, and then only a loud boom was heard; the two cultivators had already reached the vicinity of the Crimson Thunder Beast, and they swung their blades down.

But what they didn't expect was that the seemingly weak Crimson Thunder Beast, facing their two killing moves, actually did not dodge or evade.

The next moment, the Crimson Thunder Beast tapped the void with its toes, and instantly a thunderous shockwave spread outward from its body.

Oh no, how does he still have a trump card?!

Seeing that they could not succeed, and remembering that others were watching them covetously, the two cultivators immediately employed evasion technique, vanishing tens of miles away in an instant.

After the two disappeared, the Crimson Thunder Beast returned to its original spot, eyes slightly closed, as if it were recuperating.

Great opportunity!

In an instant, another four cultivators rushed forward.

But they didn't expect that the Crimson Thunder Beast still had a trump card left.

No wonder it's a rare demon beast; even at the fifth-stage growth period it's this terrifying. If it could be allowed to grow to adulthood... Lu Chen already felt the awe-inspiring yet exhilarating pressure it would exert upon reaching adulthood.

If I can find a decent beast-taming technique in the future, I'll also raise a demon beast. Lu Chen murmured.

He watched as wave after wave of people charged into the sky, only to be repelled time and again.

As time passed, Su Qian informed him via voice transmission that only three teams remained around.

Three teams, one team of Golden Core cultivators is nothing to worry about.

But the other team... actually has a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator; how can he be so cautious?

Lu Chen felt for the first time that someone was more cautious than he was.

If he were that Nascent Soul cultivator, upon realizing that no one present was stronger than him, he might have already acted.

Looks like my state of mind is still insufficient!

Lu Chen gave a light smile and directed his gaze toward the location of that group.

For the span of an hour, the surroundings were deathly silent.

Although the Crimson Thunder Beast sensed the presence of human cultivators, the cultivators kept each other in check, allowing it to take the opportunity to recover.

We can't wait any longer! At this point, Xu Cheng could no longer restrain himself.

Wait a little longer; you're anxious, but they're even more anxious.

That late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator was the only person present who could possibly take down the Crimson Thunder Beast.

If he does not act, there are only two possible outcomes.

Either let the Crimson Thunder Beast escape, or attract an even stronger existence, in which case he wouldn't even get to drink the soup.

Whoosh!

As expected, before Lu Chen's words had finished, that Nascent Soul cultivator indeed appeared, preparing to act.

Crimson Thunder Beast, you should still have some tricks, right? Lu Chen, at this moment, actually looked forward to the beast turning the tables on its opponent.

The more powerful such a beast-taming endeavor is, the stronger his desire to conquer it becomes.

The Nascent Soul cultivator wore a black robe, and upon appearing, his killing aura was already violently intense.

Whoosh!

In an instant, the killing aura around him mixed with countless black blood and exploded violently, forming a strange black mist.

Inside the black house, Chìléiwěng's movement speed was greatly reduced, and his vision was completely restricted.

Before Chìléiwěng could make another move, the Transform Spirit cultivator produced a sickle in hand, instantly enlarged it, and slashed down at the black mist with countless violent killing auras.

Looking at his seasoned appearance, he is definitely a veteran who has endured countless battles.

Just when everyone thought Chìléiwěng had no further tricks, a bolt of thunder fell from the sky.

The next second, Chìléiwěng's aura within the black mist surged violently and instantly became weak.

"It wants to perish together!"

That Transform Spirit cultivator's face changed drastically; having no time to retract the black mist, he immediately employed an evasion technique, and in an instant his figure retreated hundreds of miles away.

But even so, that bolt of thunder, as if it had eyes, suddenly changed direction in the instant it struck and shot straight toward him.

"This!"

Having no time to react, the Transform Spirit cultivator could only muster all his strength to block.

But even so, he was still severely wounded by this blow.

Seeing this scene, the team of late-stage Yun Dan cultivators who had been lying in ambush instantly surged out, rushing straight toward the black mist hoping to reap the benefits.

"The opportunity has come!" Xu Cheng also acted swiftly, immediately charging out.

Unfortunately, when they entered the black mist, they only felt it was empty inside, with only a faint cultivator's aura present.

Nobody knew what had happened; only Lu Chen knew everything.

Just at that moment, it was he who had Su Qian conceal her aura, enter the black mist in that instant, and take Chìléiwěng away.
