Chapter 236: Fourth Grade Beast

"Oh no! I am deep within Lang Jiao's Domain, which has severely restricted my movement speed. What can I do?"

Meng Yifan was in a desperate state, and before he could think further, the four sickles of the mantis Demon Beast and the pitch-black pustules of the Toad leader had already flown over.

"Fight to the death!" Meng Yifan flicked the Ghost Head Blade in his right hand, executing the Taiji Saber Technique to parry the mantis Demon Beast's Four Seasons Blade Technique.

At the same time, Meng Yifan used his left hand to perform the Four Ounces Deflects a Thousand Catties from the Taiji Fist, a soft, spiraling force of Qi enveloping the mass of pustules to change its trajectory, intending to make it collide with the mantis Demon Beast.

"Croak!" Following the sound of a toad's cry, the mass of pustules suddenly exploded without any collision, and foul-smelling, putrid liquid sprayed out toward Meng Yifan.

"Damn it! This pustule can track automatically and be remotely detonated; this is too perverted."

At this critical moment, Meng Yifan had a thought and pulled a two-meter-tall, one-meter-wide Steel Shield out from his Space Ring, blocking his body completely behind it.

The toad's pustule liquid sprayed onto the Steel Shield, causing the steel to become riddled with holes from corrosion and melt into molten iron that dripped down.

If this had sprayed onto a person, it could have instantly dissolved them until not even bone fragments remained.

With the protection of the aforementioned Steel Shield, Meng Yifan's body was not contaminated by the liquid, but the crisis had not yet been resolved; the mantis Demon Beast's four sickles slashed continuously, and Meng Yifan was struggling to parry, completely suppressed and under attack.

"Croak! Croak!" Another toad cry rang out, and another pitch-black pustule flew toward him.

Seeing this scene, Meng Yifan groaned inwardly; his body was shrouded in Lang Jiao's Domain, his movement speed was severely interfered with, and even the speed of his attacks was greatly reduced.

Meanwhile, the Third Grade mantis Demon Beast had instead greatly increased in speed, its four sickles flying up and down, slashing faster and faster.

Amidst the flashing blade light, it contained the artistic conception of spring, summer, autumn, and winter—the cycle of the four seasons.

The blade light was brilliant and looked magnificent, but it also contained a lethal killing intent.

Meng Yifan parried left and right, finding it very difficult to defend; if he were the slightest bit careless, he could lose his head.

Coupled with the pustule bombs that the toad could change direction and remotely detonate, Meng Yifan's situation was becoming increasingly dangerous.

This was still with Lang Jiao not having joined the battle herself, merely releasing her Domain to interfere with his movement.

If Lang Jiao were to join the battle as well, with her terrifying strength as a Fourth Grade Beast, Meng Yifan's situation would surely be even more difficult.

"No wonder so many Level 2 Demon Beast squads are attacking all four city walls at once; the Demon Race commander wants to disperse the human experts to the four walls and then concentrate their own experts to surround and kill me."

Meng Yifan had already understood the Demon Race's strategy, but even if he understood it, he still had to send Third-grade Experts like Kong Sanqiang and Shen Dahu to defend the other walls.

Because if the Third-grade Experts did not go, they would be unable to effectively block the surprise attacks of the Level 2 Demon Beast squads.

This was an upright and open conspiracy, forcing Meng Yifan to face the siege of the Third-Grade High-Tier mantis Demon Beast, the Third Grade Middle Rank Toad leader, and the Level 4 Lower-Tier Lang Jiao all by himself.

"Fuck! Bullying the few with the many? You think I don't have helpers? Then you've miscalculated."

Meng Yifan had a thought, and three zombies wearing black cloth cloaks instantly sprang up from below the city wall.

One was a dual-blade zombie, and the other two zombies were burly; one used a Big Guan Blade, and one used a Big Iron Hammer. These three were the Third-grade zombies Meng Yifan had inherited from Zuo Moyan.

Driving zombies to fight requires the controller to divide their attention to command them. Meng Yifan was now a Third-Grade Immortal Cultivator and could manage four tasks at once, commanding the three zombies to fight while fighting himself.

The dual-blade zombie had been a very powerful swordsman in life and was skilled at fighting with dual blades; at this moment, his two long blades simultaneously executed two types of Yin and Yang blade techniques, parrying the mantis Demon Beast's Four Seasons Blade Technique.

Both sides were formidable blade users, like evenly matched opponents meeting a worthy adversary; the six blades fought to a stalemate, trading blows, and for a time, no winner could be determined.

The zombie using the Big Iron Hammer swung its massive hammer violently, smashing the toad's pustule to pieces in one blow.

The liquid splashed everywhere, and much of it stained the zombie's body, but the zombie's body contained Corpse Poison and had strong resistance to the toad's liquid; furthermore, with its Zombie Body, even if its skin and muscles were rotted, it could still continue to fight.

Therefore, the zombie using the hammer ignored the liquid on its body, strode forward, and charged toward the Toad leader, intending to smash that toad to pieces with one hammer blow.

The Toad leader jumped with its four limbs, easily dodging the Big Iron Hammer, and then continued to throw pustule bombs at Meng Yifan.

However, the zombie's hammer swung continuously, smashing each pustule in mid-air, preventing the pustule bombs from threatening Meng Yifan.

The last zombie, who used the Big Guan Blade, was tall and stood like a human-shaped shield beside Meng Yifan; when the pustules exploded just now, the splashing liquid was all blocked by him.

With the appearance of the three zombies, the desperate situation was barely broken, and he could breathe a slight sigh of relief.

"Human, you are quite impressive, to actually be able to drive zombies to fight. You are a talent; it would be a pity to kill you. This princess will give you one more chance: if you submit to me and become my slave, this princess can spare your life," Lang Jiao said.

Meng Yifan sneered; he was a proper, upright man, so how could he possibly become the slave of a female wolf demon? He would rather die.

Meng Yifan said loudly: "Wolf demon, if you are willing to become my pet beast and acknowledge me as your master, I can also spare your lives."

"Stubborn fool, then you can go to hell." Lang Jiao stood up, her body flickered, and with lightning speed, she rushed to Meng Yifan's side, her left wolf claw shimmering with a yellow luster as she clawed toward Meng Yifan's neck.

"Too fast." Meng Yifan was shocked; just now, Lang Jiao's speed had reached at least five hundred meters per second, a movement speed far exceeding the speed of sound.

If it were normal times, Meng Yifan could execute Lingbo Microsteps and burst out with extreme speed to barely keep up with Lang Jiao's speed.

But now he was deep within Lang Jiao's Domain, his speed restricted, and he could not dodge at all; he could only resist head-on.

"Swish!" The zombie swung the Big Guan Blade in a sweep, wanting to knock Lang Jiao away, but Lang Jiao smiled contemptuously, waved her right wolf claw, and a yellow wolf claw phantom left her body, rushing toward the Big Guan Blade.

"Clang!" The yellow wolf claw and the Big Guan Blade collided, emitting a metallic clashing sound, and directly knocked the Big Guan Blade away.

The yellow wolf claw did not lose momentum and fiercely clawed into the zombie's body.

"Bang!" The burly zombie, weighing at least four hundred kilograms, was knocked flying.

Not only that, but that yellow wolf claw grabbed fiercely, tearing through the zombie's tough muscles, and even the zombie's chest bone, which was sturdier than steel, was clawed and broken.

With just one claw, Lang Jiao disemboweled the zombie and crushed the black heart inside.

"What a sharp attack." These two big-bodied zombies had very formidable physical defense, stronger than Meng Yifan's own physical defense; if Meng Yifan had been caught by that claw, he would have been dead or severely injured.
