Chapter 2302: Cornered Beast Still Fighting?

Someone has provoked the demon beast within Immortal Peak Mountain.

From the aura, this demon beast's strength is not weak, and the few human cultivators being chased by it are all at the Immortal Realm level.

Xu Jie and the others swept with their divine sense and quickly knew what had happened.

Only a huge demon beast angrily pursued several human cultivators; these few fled desperately, while the beast behind them gave relentless chase.

It looked like they had a deadly grudge.

Given the situation, they must have taken some treasure that this demon beast was guarding, which is why this happened.

The beast race has a habit of guarding heavenly materials and earthly treasures; this is quite common.

It was an ordinary occurrence, but Xu Jie and the others noticed the situation with their divine sense, and those few human cultivators naturally also sensed the presence of Xu Jie and the others.

At that moment, the leader's eyes lit up, and he immediately led his group charging toward Xu Jie and the others.

"They're coming toward us."

Seeing this, the senior brothers frowned, instantly understanding what these few intended to do.

This is using them as sacrificial pawns to lure away that demon beast?

Quite the ploy of diverting disaster eastward.

Originally they intended to avoid it, after all the demon beast looked not easy to provoke.

But now, they couldn't avoid it even if they wanted to; those few were already rushing rapidly toward them.

The leader even wore a cold smile, speaking softly.

"Heaven hasn't abandoned me! It sent a bunch of cannon fodder over; with them buying us a moment, that's enough for us to escape."

The others also secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that Xu Jie and the others had only Ancestor Realm cultivation, these few felt no pressure at all and weren't afraid of any retaliation; such ants were destined to become their sacrificial pawns.

As for the demon beast behind them, it gave no thought to all that, roaring repeatedly, even seeming to regard Xu Jie and the others as enemies.

After all, in the demon beast's eyes, it didn't care whether these humans were allies; they were all despicable humans deserving death.

Kill everyone and retake the heavenly material and earthly treasure it had been guarding.

In just a few breaths, those few human cultivators were already about to rush in front of Xu Jie and the others.

Only see Xu Jie step forward, watching the approaching few, he took out a formation disk from his bosom and gave a cold smile.

"Go."

He flung out the formation disk; it quickly landed before the few, and then the formation's light blazed forth.

Seeing this, the leader was not slow to react, immediately shouting.

"Trap formation, go."

Not too panicked, the formation needed a few breaths to form, and that time was already enough for them to rush out of its range.

Trying to trap them with this method is simply naïve.

They still felt contempt in their hearts, but the next second the leader could no longer laugh.

Because the formation that originally should have taken a few breaths to form instead instantly closed in the blink of an eye, thereby trapping those few and even the demon beast inside.

Such a change even left the hidden Tianlin feeling astonished.

"This speed......................."

"This speed is obviously off; the formation formed too quickly."

"That's to be expected; although this formation disk wasn't drawn by Xu Jie, after his slight modifications, the only difference is the formation's formation speed, which increased severalfold."

"A tiny tweak, yet it's extremely handy to use, focusing on the element of surprise."

"Unprepared, those few were trapped inside the formation; with the formation blocking them, they instantly had no retreat."

"Meanwhile, the demon beast behind them had already attacked; seeing this, the leader cursed angrily."

"Damn it, quickly dispel the formation."

"Crazy."

Xu Jie naturally paid no heed; you want to use me as cannon fodder, yet you ask me to drop the formation?

Go ahead and properly duel that demon beast inside the formation.

Trapped inside the formation, those few Human Race cultivators had no choice but to grit their teeth and engage in fierce battle with the demon beast.

However, given the cultivation gap, even if they joined forces they were still firmly suppressed by that demon beast.

Xu Jie and the others, meanwhile, watched from outside the formation with great relish.

Lu Youyou even asked with a pure expression.

"Shī xiōng, will they perish together?"

"Not that bad, but both sides suffering losses is certain; that demon beast should win, though it will likely be heavily wounded, and then we'll find a way to kill it."

"Hmm."

The battle's development matched Xu Jie's expectations roughly; at first, those few Human Race cultivators could still exchange a couple of moves with the demon beast.

But as time passed, they were quickly overwhelmed.

The leader even opened his mouth to beg for mercy.

"Fellow Daoist, it was all a misunderstanding earlier; first dispel the formation, then we'll come out to explain."

"Come out to explain? Come out and explain what bullshit? Xu Jie still chose to ignore; they're about to die, why bother with them?"

Seeing that begging was useless, not long after it turned into cursing.

"A bunch of despicable villains, if you have the ability, dispel the formation and fight us head-on!"

"Idiot."

"We're all humans; you'd rather help a beast than us?"

No matter what those few said, Xu Jie and the others remained unmoved.

Finally, these few people were trapped in the Formation, dying one after another at the hands of that monster beast.

Only the leader remained; perhaps knowing death was certain, he also went all out, fighting desperately with that monster beast.

Although in the end he still couldn't escape, that monster beast was also successfully severely wounded.

All of this was guessed correctly by Xu Jie.

And after slaughtering those few people, the monster beast's attention naturally shifted to Xu Jie and his group.

But before it could make any move, Xu Jie threw out another Formation Disk.

This Formation Disk was ordinary enough, but once the Formation combined, the terrifying Heavenly Thunder and earthly fire power quickly enveloped that monster beast.

If it were at its peak, that monster beast might still have held out, but given its current state, facing an Immortal-level grand slaughter formation, its fate goes without saying.

As expected, within the Formation, after struggling a few times, that monster beast collapsed.

"Third senior brother is amazing."

"Just a crude trick, what's so amazing about it."

Facing the praise of his junior martial siblings, Xu Jie instead replied humbly.

Indeed, he took advantage of the Formation's danger; it's not really a good tactic.

But Tianlin and Miao Qianqian, watching from the shadows, didn't see it that way—this move of a trapped beast still fighting, Xu Jie is just being slippery.

This left Tianlin and the two of them staring dumbfounded.

Moreover, this improved Formation, or rather the activation time of this improved Formation, opened their eyes to something they had never even imagined before.

How did these guys come up with this?

Just a moment ago they were wondering whether to intervene, but they didn't expect Xu Jie to easily dispose of those few human cultivators, and even take care of that monster beast along the way.

Tianlin's gaze was strange; he stared blankly for a moment, then turned his head to look at Ye Zhangqing and said softly.

"Brother Ye, do you have any more of those Formation Disks? Have your senior brother give me a few; they look nice."

"And me too, I want some."
