"Puff puff... Mu
Qingyun swung his sword, sword light surging, sword rays radiating outward, and the ferocious beasts fell in droves.
"So impressive,"
Luo Ning watched Mu Qingyun weaving through the horde of ferocious beasts, moving freely wherever he passed. Wherever he passed, the beasts fell one after another, blood staining the sky, his graceful demeanor awe-inspiring, and she couldn't help but marvel.
The beasts were tall, with some as small as several zhang and others as large as several zhang. Mu Qingyun moved among them, and those beasts couldn't even touch her clothes before being slaughtered one after another.
Mu Qingyun charged forward, while behind him, the relatively powerful disciples Zhong Ling, Zhong Xiu, and Li Cai organized other disciples to kill other fierce beasts together.
Mu Qingyun specifically targeted some powerful ferocious beasts to kill, leaving the relatively weaker ones for Li Cai and the others to handle. This way, he avoided risks and improved efficiency.
"What an elite team. Even when facing demonized ferocious beasts, they can stay calm and suppress their fear. Not bad, not bad."
Master Dongming couldn't help but exclaim.
It should be known that these demonized ferocious beasts emit a fierce aura, which causes immense psychological pressure—a test of willpower.
Normally, when disciples suddenly face such terrifying beasts, fear is an instinctive reaction, but the disciples from the Xiaoyao Alliance showed little fear in their eyes, and their combat power was not suppressed.
This kind of combat ability is truly rare, and over the past month, Long Chen hasn't taught them anything else, but rather how to face death.
So when facing these ferocious beasts, although they do feel fear, they don't become stiff or slow down in reaction time, so their impact is limited.
Moreover, with Mu Qingyun leading the way, watching him slay those terrifying beasts with every sword strike gave them endless confidence. As each beast was slain, their fear faded, confidence grew, and their fighting spirit grew stronger, making their coordination even smoother.
The battle on the Demon-Slaying Sect was fierce, but as soon as they made contact, only a few were injured. They quickly stabilized, and everything proceeded in an orderly fashion, with no casualties.
So the performance of the Xiaoyao Alliance disciples shocked all the strong ones present. The combat power displayed by the ordinary disciples was even more impressive than Mu Qingyun's sword light.
A genius's sudden eruption is not surprising, because the energy accumulated by a genius is naturally greater than others', and once it erupts, it can rise like a comet.
But Zhong Ling, Zhong Xiu, Li Cai, and the others weren't geniuses, especially those who just slacking off and waiting to die—they were just useless. Yet their performance today moved even experts above the Four Extremes Realm.
People couldn't help but look at Long Chen in the crowd, wondering what method Long Chen had used to turn this group of ordinary people into elites.
Not to mention, even if they lost this contest, their fearless will on the battlefield gave them a good chance to pass the battlefield assessment and be accepted as elite disciples by the inner sect.
When people looked at Long Chen, they found him standing among the crowd, watching the entire scene, without making a move to kill the ferocious beasts.
Originally, Long Chen had planned to step in after seeing someone in mortal danger, but what comforted him was that these Xiaoyao Alliance disciples were actually quite good—they controlled the situation without him even needing to intervene.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, the earth trembled violently as a massive creature charged forward, knocking all the other ferocious beasts along the way flying.
Mu Qingyun was startled and slashed his sword, but the strike struck its ivory, producing a metallic crackling sound and failing to cut through the tusk.
"This is a real magical beast, the Blood-Infused Mammoth. What's going on? How can pureblood magical beasts appear in the Demon-Slaying Path?" A mentor cried out in surprise—it wasn't a ferocious beast, but a beast activated by demonic blood within its body.
In the Immortal Realm, there are demons, terrifying and eerie, with bloodline infection said to be the strongest. Anyone tainted by demonic blood will develop demonic nature, becoming bloodthirsty and violent.
Rumor has it that the demon race is one of the species that appeared during the Great Chaos Era, mysterious and unfathomable. Ferocious beasts were originally just fierce beasts, and although they reproduce very quickly, they pose little threat to humans.
But magical beasts are different. If a magical beast dies, its corpse will be eaten by other ferocious beasts, and the demonic nature in its blood will spread, causing it to mutate and become a demonic beast.
This ferocious beast is even more ferocious and brutal, fearless of death. When it sees blood, it becomes even more frenzied, fighting with all its might until the last drop of blood is shed.
The demonic beasts in the Divine Dao Conquest were all carefully selected, yet a purebred beast appeared. This shocked all the strong warriors present. This mistake was simply unforgivable, and it could easily lead to total annihilation. If they were playing a joke on the lives of their disciples, the person responsible for this matter could very well be executed.
"Could someone be cheating? How is that any different from harming others?" Someone shouted angrily.
For a moment, countless eyes turned to Chu Huairen, and his face instantly darkened.
Chu Huairen shouted coldly, "The ones managing the championship are the instructors of the Divine Academy. What do you mean by looking at me?" The academy has strict rules for this kind of thing—who would dare to cheat? Are you looking for death? "
At this, everyone couldn't help but look at Master Yunyang. Before Master Yunyang could speak, the head of the Discipline Institute spoke up:
"This is not a mistake, but an unexpected incident. That Blood-Blooded Mammoth has just mutated, and the bloodstains on its ivory say it all."
The demonic beast had been prepared three days ago. It must have mutated during these three days, so ... It can only be said that Long Chen and the others were unlucky. "
Boom boom boom boom..." At that moment, the blood-soaked mammoth charged at Mu Qingyun, its tusks like ten thousand rays, piercing through the void and charging straight at him.
Mu Qingyun dodged left and right, slashing down several times, but her sharp sword light couldn't cut through the blood-soaked mammoth's body, only leaving some bloody wounds on its surface.
The blood-soaked mammoth was massive and difficult to maneuver. It attacked Mu Qingyun several times but couldn't hit him at all. Several of the nearby troublesome beasts were killed by it, but aside from many wounds, it was powerless against Mu Qingyun. Its anger grew.
The blood-soaked mammoth suddenly let out a clear, resonant cry, shaking the void with a buzzing sound. It abruptly abandoned Mu Qingyun and, like a towering mountain, rushed rapidly toward the disciples of the Xiaoyao Alliance behind it.
"Watch out!"
Mu Qingyun cried out in alarm. If this terrifying blood-soaked mammoth charged into the crowd, who knows how many would die beneath its feet.
"Third Brother,"
Mu Qingyun couldn't do anything to this blood-soaked mammoth, so he could only call for help, asking Long Chen for help.
Long Chen flashed forward, appearing at the front of the team, facing the charging blood-soaked mammoth head-on.
The blood-soaked mammoth charged forward wildly, its eyes blood-red. But when it saw Long Chen—especially his eyes—it abruptly stopped in its tracks.
"Crack, crack..."
The blood-soaked mammoth's thick legs plowed a long, deep trench into the earth. The earth crackled loudly, dust flew everywhere, and within less than two zhang of Long Chen, it finally stopped its body. The sand it pushed nearly buried Long Chen in the dust.
Long Chen lookedLooking at the Blood-Infused Mammoth, the Mammoth stared at Long Chen, one large and one small, staring at each other for several breaths. Long Chen didn't move, and the Bloodthirsty Mammoth didn't move either. For a moment, everyone inside and outside the arena was stunned:
"What's going on?"
