Chapter 494: Slaying the Strange Beast

"How do I feel like this matter seems very simple?" Xuanying looked at the Demon Qi being continuously purified and asked with a frown.

"Then you are really thinking too simply. Look, the counterattack is coming!" Lingyun chuckled.

"Woo—" A strange roar sounded once again. The fierce Strange Beast that appeared yesterday emerged from the Void without warning and lunged toward Lingyun's direction.

"Careful!" Xuanying's pupils shrank abruptly. A dagger appeared in his hand, and his figure turned into a blurred shadow as he rushed toward the Strange Beast.

The incident happened suddenly, and the appearance of the Strange Beast had no warning; even the several Elders of the Meiling Tribe had not discovered where this suddenly appearing Strange Beast had been hiding before. Moreover, the six of them were each controlling a corner of the Array and could not spare a hand to protect Lingyun for the moment. As for Xuanying, although his speed was fast, the Strange Beast's speed was even faster. In the blink of an eye, it appeared before Lingyun, its bloody maw wide open, biting fiercely toward Lingyun's head.

"Well come!" Facing the lethal killing intent, Lingyun gave a faint smile, his face showing no sign of fear.

"Boom—" A gust of wind suddenly erupted from in front of Lingyun, blasting the Strange Beast that was lunging at him a full several yards away.

"Zzz—" At the same time, Xuanying's forward-rushing figure twisted abruptly. The dagger in his hand instantly slashed out dozens of cold rays, cutting heavily into the Strange Beast's body.

However, a layer of invisible Demon Qi surged on the surface of the Strange Beast's body. The moment the cold rays approached, the surging Demon Qi formed a flexible Shield, neutralizing all the cold rays.

The Strange Beast landed, let out a deafening roar, and opened its big mouth to bite at Xuanying's body. Xuanying's figure swayed, and with a series of flashes, he had already retreated more than ten meters away, causing the Strange Beast's attack to miss.

Looking at the fierce Strange Beast before him, Xuanying could not help but grit his teeth. Now that the six Elders and Lingyun could not get away, it was too late to call for reinforcements; he could only temporarily hold off the Strange Beast's offensive. As long as he made a big enough commotion, the sharp-eared Meiling Tribe members would definitely discover the abnormality in this place, and when other experts arrived, he did not believe they could not take down this Strange Beast.

Just as Xuanying lowered his body, preparing to launch an attack on the Strange Beast, countless Wind Blades suddenly swept past him, hacking heavily onto the Strange Beast.

"This?" Seeing these Wind Blades, Xuanying turned around abruptly, only to see that another Lingyun had appeared beside Lingyun at some point; the attack just now was exactly what he had unleashed.

"This, what is this situation?" Xuanying's heart was full of astonishment.

The newly appeared Lingyun opened his hand, and a sword shadow shot out from the Wind Holy Sword, landing in his hand and turning into a Long sword.

"Nothing, just a Clone Secret Technique!" Lingyun flashed to Xuanying's side and said indifferently.

"I know it's a Clone Secret Technique too, but this Clone Secret Technique is too exaggerated! If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't be able to tell which is the main body and which is the clone at all!" Xuanying could not help but complain in his heart.

The fierce Strange Beast did not give Xuanying time to complain. It saw its body press slightly downward, then it leaped up abruptly, turning into a blurred shadow as it lunged toward the Lingyun who was controlling the Double Domain.

The Lingyun holding the sword shadow swung the Long sword in his hand abruptly, and countless Wind Blades emerged from the Void, cutting toward the Strange Beast like a rainstorm. A black mist rose from the Strange Beast, wrapping it firmly within. The Wind Blades bombarded the mist, emitting muffled sounds, completely unable to break through the mist. However, the powerful impact contained within the Wind Blades knocked the Strange Beast down from mid-air.

After landing, the Strange Beast turned its head abruptly to look at the direction of the Lingyun holding the sword shadow, fierce light overflowing in its eyes.

Looking at the Strange Beast lunging toward him, a smile appeared on Lingyun's face: "Well come!"

A terrifying air wave spread in all directions with Lingyun as the center, and the aura of a Half-step Heaven Realm was revealed on him without reservation. The terrifying aura turned into a great mountain, pressing heavily on the Strange Beast, causing a bowl-shaped crater to appear on the ground beneath its feet.

"Woo—" The Strange Beast let out a roar, and countless lethal spikes formed around it, shooting toward Lingyun's direction like a rainstorm.

Lingyun stomped his right foot on the ground, and countless gusts of wind swirled around him, forming a pale cyan vortex. Looking closely, the vortex was actually formed by countless fine and dense Wind Blades; if anyone were accidentally swept into this vortex, the outcome could be imagined.

Once the spikes pierced into the vortex, they were ground to Shatter. After a round of fierce attacks, Lingyun did not suffer any harm, but the fierce Strange Beast consumed quite a bit.

"Gale Blade!" Lingyun swept his hand casually, and a sharp Wind Blade swept out from his hand, lunging straight toward the Strange Beast's direction.

Demon Qi surged on the Strange Beast's body, and the black mist reappeared, wanting to block this attack.

With only a 'zhi' sound, the mist on the surface of the fierce Strange Beast's body was torn open by a large gap. The Gale Blade did not diminish in momentum, cutting heavily into the Strange Beast and pulling a large wound on its body. However, no blood flowed out from this large wound; instead, wisps of black gas continuously overflowed.

"End Dagger!"

The moment the Gale Blade tore a large wound on the Strange Beast, Xuanying's figure suddenly appeared beside the Strange Beast, the dagger in his hand flashing with an ominous light, stabbing fiercely into the wound formed by the Gale Blade. Powerful force poured into the Strange Beast's body along the dagger, causing the Strange Beast to let out a painful roar.

"Bang—" The Strange Beast's tail whipped heavily against Xuanying's chest, sending him flying into the air, and only after breaking several large trees did he crash heavily to the ground.

"Cough, cough—" Xuanying covered his chest and climbed up from the ground, unable to help coughing up a mouthful of blood. Although he had already used Battle Qi to protect his chest just now, the immense force on the Strange Beast's tail still injured his internal organs.

Just at this moment, a dragon roar suddenly sounded in the field, suppressing the restless Strange Beast all at once.

Xuanying turned his head to look, and beside Lingyun, a cyan giant dragon had appeared at some point, continuously dancing around his body.

"Qingxuan Dragon Sword Technique!" Lingyun's voice sounded faintly in the field.

The cyan giant dragon beside Lingyun let out a dragon roar and lunged toward the direction of the fierce Strange Beast.

The fierce Strange Beast felt a lethal crisis from this giant dragon and abruptly raised its claws to grab fiercely toward it.

The cyan giant dragon swirled abruptly in mid-air, dodging the Strange Beast's attack, and at the same time began to rotate rapidly around it. In just a moment's time, it had already been shrouded in a huge cyan vortex.

"Roar—" Feeling a great crisis from the cyan vortex, the Strange Beast roared at once, black mist surging on its body, wanting to burst through the vortex.

However, how could the Qingxuan Dragon Sword Technique unleashed by Lingyun using the Wind Holy Sword be so easy to break? The cyan vortex shrank abruptly, and terrifying Wind Blades instantly cut into the black mist. The black mist let out a mournful cry under the cutting of the Wind Blades, and after failing to persist for even a moment, it was completely torn to Shatter.

Subsequently, the fierce Strange Beast also received the same treatment as the black mist. Under the cutting of countless tiny Wind Blades, it completely turned into nothingness.

"Done and finished!" Lingyun dispersed the sword shadow in his hand, which turned into a stream of light and merged into the body of the Lingyun who was controlling the Double Domain.

"Mr. Lingyun, is it done just like that?" Xuanying covered his chest and walked to Lingyun's side.

"That Strange Beast just now was the final countermeasure of the Demon Qi. If it weren't for the multiple suppressions, even I would not have absolute certainty of defeating it," Lingyun said. "But now that it has been finished off, the following matters will be much easier to handle!"
