Chapter 259: A Sharp Intervention

The half-beasts guarding the rift seemed to know they were about to come out, and the moment the formation rift opened, they had already launched an attack.

Three half-beasts directly swung their claws, sending out three claw shadows to attack the rift, attempting to widen the opening of the formation.

They did not know that their actions prevented the other five students of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect from rushing out of the formation.

The five half-beasts, who were prepared to attack at any moment, rushed up like lightning and surrounded Ben Jieming.

At the same time, more than a dozen demonic beasts that were attacking the formation also rushed over, charging toward Ben Jieming like mad.

Guo Zhuying and Murong Xue both exclaimed, "Oh no!"

They wanted to intervene, but they were powerless to do so.

Clang!

A sword chime rang out, and Ben Jieming did not hesitate to take out his Sword Talisman and activate it.

Seeing this, the five half-beasts were terrified and turned to run.

They had witnessed the power of the Sword Talisman activated by Xing Jiangyi, and it was simply not something they could withstand.

But no matter how fast they were, how could they be faster than the attack speed of an Integration Stage Sword Talisman?

Ben Jieming's expression became calm at this moment; he did not use the Sword Talisman to kill the five half-beasts, but instead attacked the incoming demonic beasts.

Sss, sss, sss~

More than a dozen demonic beasts were pierced through their brows by a single sword light split from the Integration Stage Sword Talisman.

But more demonic beasts rushed over.

Ben Jieming dared not hesitate; he directly collected the corpse of one demonic beast and flashed away, shouting, "Do not come out!"

But a yellow blur flashed by, and a weasel-like demonic beast rushed over, biting toward Ben Jieming's neck.

At this moment, he had already turned around, his mind set on escaping, and he had no time to defend himself.

Everyone exclaimed again.

But then, the sound of sword Qi rang out from within the formation, and a golden light arrived through the air at an even faster speed, shooting into the body of the weasel demonic beast.

Awoo—

A shrill, hair-raising scream rang out, followed by a dull thud.

Ben Jieming was knocked into the rift.

At this moment, the rift closed.

Roar, roar, roar—

The demonic beasts continued to attack the formation crazily, much more violently than before.

People kept coming out to kill the demonic beasts, which made the ferocity in their bones even more intense.

And the demonic beasts killed by the Sword Talisman were almost devoured by the half-beasts and other demonic beasts in the blink of an eye.

This scene made everyone's scalp tingle.

Ben Jieming, with a pale face, cupped his hands toward Lu Tianyu: "Many thanks to Young Master Lu for intervening; this is a demonic beast!"

His forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his heart was pounding wildly.

If Lu Tianyu had not intervened just now, he would likely have been decapitated.

At the same time, he was also incomparably shocked.

Lu Tianyu's speed of intervention was too fast, and the golden sword Qi shot from his fingertips just now was incomparably sharp, even more pure and sharp than the sword Qi he slashed out with his precious sword.

He was very curious about what kind of cultivation technique Lu Tianyu practiced to be so powerful!

At this moment, Ben Jieming was completely convinced.

Lu Tianyu nodded: "You rest for now; once I have prepared the potion for you all to take, we can go out."

As he spoke, he began to cast spells to extract the essence blood from the demonic beast's body.

Mixing the demonic beast's blood with the Heaven-Mending Pill would actually work, but Lu Tianyu chose to extract the essence blood, which made the mixed potion less likely to reveal any clues.

At this moment, the demonic beasts were completely crazed, Shangguan Yu'er's defense became more strenuous, and Spirit Stones were being consumed frantically.

Lu Tianyu, meanwhile, was focused on preparing the potion.

Xing Jiangyi, standing to the side, was stunned.

The moment Ben Jieming was attacked just now, he thought Ben Jieming was a dead man, but he did not expect Lu Tianyu to intervene.

He wondered why Lu Tianyu did not intervene to help him when he went out earlier?

He could clearly have intervened; if he hadn't sacrificed his own Sword Talisman, would he have intervened to help him?

Thinking of this, his twisted mind began to act up again, and his gaze toward Lu Tianyu became cold.

Lu Tianyu seemed not to notice any of this.

A quarter of an hour passed quickly.

Phew!

Lu Tianyu took a deep breath and slowly stood up: "It is done. Each of you take a small bottle, drink this medicine, and we will go out in a quarter of an hour!"

He flicked his hand and sent a medicine bottle in front of everyone: "Quick!"

This was the moment everyone had been waiting for, so they dared not hesitate and immediately opened the bottle stoppers and drank it.

Lu Tianyu continued: "Everyone, we will not be attacked by demonic beasts for the time being, but the attacks from the half-beasts will be even more severe."

"This demonic beast attack must be manipulated by someone, and we likely won't be able to hide it for long."

"What we must do next is to find a hidden place that is easy to defend and hard to attack as soon as possible, and plan our next move."

"Our current situation is extremely difficult; the Law Enforcement Team cannot know our plight in the short term, and we can only rely on our own methods to survive."

As soon as these words were spoken, Liu Qingyan immediately echoed: "Young Master Lu is right!"

"If the Law Enforcement Team saw this situation, they would definitely intervene; the only reason is that this place has been shielded, and they cannot see the situation inside clearly."

"Clearly, someone is manipulating all of this, wanting to kill us all here."

"We will listen to Young Master Lu's arrangements."

Wan Ziling frowned and said, "Young Master Lu, can we charge out to seek help?"

"Yes!" Zhao Qian had the same thought, "If we join forces to charge out and then send a distress signal to the Law Enforcement Team, that would be the safest way."

"The demonic beasts here have all gone mad; every step we take is difficult, and we still have to guard against attacks from the people of the Wide-Eyed Academy."

Lu Tianyu shook his head slightly: "Things are not as simple as you think."

"Someone planned all of this, so they naturally considered our escape routes; if we attempt to charge out, what will greet us will be something even more ferocious than the demonic beasts."

He raised his head: "The trees are full of raptor-type demonic beasts; their flight speed is faster than ours, and their attacks are sharper than those on the ground. Furthermore, there are even more powerful ones among them."

Lu Tianyu's powerful Divine Sense perceived that the area above the forest was the most dangerous.

Shangguan Yu'er said with a grave expression: "That's right."

"The demonic beasts above want to stop us from charging out, and they also have to prevent the Law Enforcement Team's advance; they are even more formidable than the fierce beasts we have encountered."

"If we exhaust all our strength to charge out, we will provoke them into killing us, and our chances of survival will be almost zero."

"We should still find a place to hide first and wait for the Law Enforcement Team to come and rescue us."

Wan Ziling was thoughtful: "If the Law Enforcement Team is held up by them and cannot come to save us, what should we do?"

"They are attacking so madly that we won't be able to hold out for long."

Zhao Qian had the same thought: "They must know that we still have the Dean and the Law Enforcement Team outside. What if they aren't even afraid of the Deans? What should we do then?"

"Since this is a conspiracy, they must have thought of everything and already prepared for the situation involving the Law Enforcement Team and the Deans."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone's expression changed drastically.
