Chapter 2240: A Thread Between Life and Death

Facing the Beast Race's actions, Huang Lao and the four others were full of killing intent.

Within the Immortal Realm, anyone, any race, whoever has any dealings with the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon will become the target of public criticism.

After all, the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon can be said to be the enemy of the entire Immortal Realm.

What good could come from cooperating with such demons?

Unfortunately, the Beast Race now has no choice; Huang Lao and the four others do not know what the Extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon promised the Beast Race, which led the Beast Race to make this decision at any cost.

But now it's too late to say anything.

For now, the only plan is to first quell the fighting, suppress the Beast Race, then talk about other matters.

Huang Lao and the four others here are entangled by the Three Great Shou Shou and many Beast Race members, unable to break free in a short time.

And Wuji Xiancheng, the Beast Race's primary target, is obviously also facing an ever-increasing siege by the Beast Race.

Especially after the Three Great Shou Shou made their decision, those Beast Race members who had almost completely lost their reason rushed toward Wuji Xiancheng like madmen.

Outside Wuji Xiancheng, the Heavenly Family Ancestor now has enough trouble just looking after himself.

Although ordinary Beast Race members pose no threat to him, such numbers still leave him no spare attention for Ye Zhangqing.

Fortunately, Ye Zhangqing's own strength is not weak, and moreover the Heavenly Tribulation at this time seems to have become a barrier, firmly protecting him.

The surrounding Beast Race members have no way to get close.

However, just when the Beast Race was unable to break through, the first batch of frenzied beast herds had already appeared outside Wuji Xiancheng.

They are extremely fast, and completely different from other Beast Race members.

Even when facing the Heavenly Tribulation, they do not hesitate to charge straight up, and when facing the Heavenly Thunder falling from the sky, they directly choose to withstand it head-on.

Their eyes seemed to have only a craving for fresh blood; the killing intent emanating from their whole body, upon seeing Ye Zhangqing, had already become extremely intense.

「These Beast Race................. 」

Noticing that this newly appeared Beast Race was completely different, the puzzled Ye Zhangqing flashed a strange color in his eyes.

And with the appearance of this Beast Race, there is no doubt that Ye Zhangqing's pressure instantly increased.

Not only him, but the Heavenly Family Ancestor is also like this at this moment.

Indeed, this Beast Race is simply too frenzied.

They completely do not know what retreat and timidity are.

Moreover, there are far too many of them, continuously rushing out from the Wuji Shanmai, as if they could never be killed off.

Fortunately, at this time, the cultivators in the city, led by Tianlin, rushed out to fight.

「These Beast Race have rebelled, fellow cultivators, charge out and defend the city. 」

Many cultivators do not know the details, but the Beast Race's such large-scale siege, they certainly cannot ignore it.

After all, once the city is captured, nobody will have a good outcome.

When the nest is overturned, how can there be intact eggs? With the city, everyone at least still has a barrier; without the city, facing them only leads to becoming prey.

Furthermore, as the various major forces in the city successively stand up to organize, the city's cultivators naturally go out to meet the enemy.

As the city's cultivators rushed over, the beast herd was indeed blocked for a moment.

However, after clashing with these Beast Race members, many human cultivators had strange expressions, their eyes filled with deep suspicion.

「These Beast Race's strength.................... 」

Shocked by these Beast Race's strength, which is completely different from usual.

Human cultivators residing in Wuji Xiancheng naturally have not had little dealings with the Beast Race on ordinary days, after all they came to Wuji Xiancheng precisely to seize a chance through struggle.

But these Beast Race before our eyes are completely frenzied; not only has their strength greatly increased, they also fundamentally do not know pain or fear.

What's more outrageous is that even when struck in a vital spot, they do not die immediately, but can still make a desperate counterattack.

Therefore, before confirming that these Beast Race have not truly breathed their last, many human cultivators already dare not be the slightest bit careless.

After all, they clearly saw that just now a human cultivator, obviously already heavily wounded, and could even be said to have slain a monster beast.

But that monster beast, which should obviously already be dead, ended up perishing together with that cultivator in the end.

This completely goes against common sense, causing all human cultivators to have to become vigilant.

In dealing with these obviously unusual Beast Race, there must be no carelessness at all.

「What on earth is the situation with this pack of wicked beasts? 」

After slaying several monster beasts in succession, Tianlin frowned in thought on one hand, and glanced toward the direction where Ye Zhangqing was on the other.

Because of the Heavenly Tribulation, Ye Zhangqing dared not get too close to the crowd; he could only pick a corner on the battlefield to maneuver against the beast herd.

And although Tianlin wanted to step forward to help, he likewise dared not rashly enter the Heavenly Tribulation's range, for otherwise being enveloped by the Heavenly Tribulation would also be no good for Ye Zhangqing.

「Roar.................... 」

Just after slaying a monster beast, accompanied by a beast's roar, Ye Zhangqing saw only a demon beast leap out from the mountains and forests.

His whole body suffused with blood qi, his scarlet eyes full of violent intent.

It lunged straight at Ye Zhangqing; in a flash, it entered the Heavenly Tribulation's range.

Soon this demon beast was locked onto by the Heavenly Thunder, but the Heavenly Thunder's bombardment, like that of a thunder dragon, striking this demon beast's body, did not even break through its surrounding blood qi.

「Immortal Emperor Realm Perfection.................... 」

Its strength is comparable to that of Immortal Emperor Realm Perfection, but it is strange that, in terms of aura, this demon beast is merely just entering the Immortal Emperor Realm.

It is that surrounding blood qi.

Having just realized this, before Ye Zhangqing could think further, the demon beast had already rushed to his front.

Opening its bloody maw wide, it lunged to bite Ye Zhangqing.

A blade light flashed, but it did not repel the demon beast; instead, the kitchen knife in his hand was tightly bitten by it.

Even though fresh blood had already welled up in its mouth from the blade light's wound, it still had no intention of letting go.

It even seemed unable to feel pain.

At the same time, the claws lashed out at Ye Zhangqing without hesitation, leaving no time to think.

In response, Ye Zhangqing didn't have time to hesitate either; he thrust out his other hand, violently colliding with the demon beast's claws.

Fortunately, Ye Zhangqing's physique wasn't weak; although the blow drew blood, he wasn't at a disadvantage.

It's about even.

But Ye Zhangqing is a normal person, while this demon beast has already gone berserk.

The pain made Ye Zhangqing's mouth twitch, but the demon beast's assault didn't stop, and another claw came at him.

"Enough already, you wicked beast!"

Faced with this berserk demon beast, Ye Zhangqing also sprang into action; he simply let go of the kitchen knife it had bitten in its mouth, clenched his fists, and went straight into close-quarters combat.

Although Ye Zhangqing had always fought with blade techniques, that doesn't mean he only knows blade techniques.

Besides that, Ye Zhangqing's physical strength is in no way inferior to those body cultivators, and may even surpass them.

After discarding the kitchen knife in his hand, Ye Zhangqing also lost any comfort, and he and the beast immediately went into fierce combat.

Each heavy impact sent out a dull thud, and the Heavenly Thunder striking his body felt like nothing at all, utterly ignored.
