Chapter 375: Mutual Aid of Yin and Yang (Part 2)

At this moment, he was more than twice as strong as he had been before consuming the Void Spirit Lotus!

He looked again at his Sea of Consciousness.

The three phantom figures had also advanced.

[Blade Intent: Middle Level (48,721/200,000)]

[Fist Intent: Middle Level (49,236/200,000)]

[Sword Intent: Middle Level (50,124/200,000)]

Treasures of Heaven and Earth were uniquely blessed, containing Dao Rhyme for him to use.

And as the three intents grew in sync, the Meaning of the Three Talents became even more stable.

Liang Cheng nodded in satisfaction. Just as he was about to get up and test his current strength, suddenly—

RUMBLE RUMBLE RUMBLE!!!

A violent roar echoed from the distance!

The ground trembled, and loose stones rustled down from the cave’s ceiling.

Liang Cheng’s gaze sharpened.

‘This commotion doesn’t feel right.’

With a flicker of his body, he shot out of the cave.

In the distance, faint flashes of light flickered on the horizon.

That was the direction of the Demon-Suppressing Pagoda.

And surrounding the light, the dense auras of Fierce Beasts surged like a tidal wave.

Liang Cheng frowned.

‘Something’s happened.’

Without any hesitation, his figure transformed into a flowing cloud as he raced toward that direction.

「…」

「Six hundred miles away.」

In front of a massive fissure.

Three figures were locked in a bloody battle.

Two men and a woman, dressed in the attire of the True Martial Sect, were bathed in blood.

They were facing three Tier Eight Fierce Beasts!

The Iron-Backed Cyan Wolf was like a gray bolt of lightning. Its sharp claws tore through the air, leaving three dark spatial rifts in their wake!

The female disciple from the True Martial Sect had no time to react and could only raise her sword to block on instinct.

CLANG!!!

The claw struck the body of the sword, sending sparks flying!

She was sent flying backward, smashing into a huge boulder ten zhang away. The boulder shattered with a loud crash!

The Earth-Splitting Demon Bear—it was like a small, moving mountain. With every step, the ground cracked and shattered stones flew everywhere!

When its giant paw slammed down, the very air was compressed until it boomed!

The leading young man from the True Martial Sect gritted his teeth and slashed with his sword. The blade’s light landed on the Demon Bear, leaving only a shallow white mark!

But the Demon Bear swatted back with its paw—

BOOM!!!

The young man blocked with his sword held horizontally but was sent stumbling back more than ten steps. Each step he took shattered the ground beneath him. The flesh between his thumb and forefinger split open, and fresh blood dripped down the blade of his sword!

The Profound Ice Python was coiled in the rear, its body radiating a bone-chilling cold as it continuously spat out Profound Ice Cold Qi from its mouth!

Wherever the cold qi passed, even the air froze, turning into countless ice crystals that rustled to the ground!

The other male disciple from the True Martial Sect had just taken half a step forward when the cold qi swept across his left arm.

CRACK!

His entire left arm was instantly covered in a layer of frost. His blood froze and his flesh split open!

He cried out in pain and staggered back!

The three Tier Eight Fierce Beasts each had their own unique strengths and coordinated with each other flawlessly.

The three disciples fought as they retreated, their situation fraught with peril.

“Dammit! How are there three Tier Eight beasts working together!”

“Senior Brother! Let’s retreat!”

“Retreat? Retreat where? These beasts have already locked onto us.”

The young man in the lead gritted his teeth and drove back the Iron-Backed Cyan Wolf with a swing of his sword. He glanced behind him at a five-hundred-zhang-long fissure that stretched across the void.

Countless Fierce Beasts were pouring out of the fissure.

Tier Four, Tier Five, Tier Six…

They were densely packed, like a tidal wave.

“It’s over…”

The young man’s face was deathly pale.

The Iron-Backed Cyan Wolf lunged again!

Aiming straight for his throat!

He tried to raise his sword to block, but his left arm was numb and the webbing of his right hand was torn. He was simply too slow to defend himself.

Just in the nick of time—

VMMMMM!!!

The ring of a blade came from the horizon.

It was followed by a flash of blade light that streaked across the sky like a shooting star!

The moment the blade light appeared, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi within a thousand-zhang radius instantly erupted into chaos!

Space trembled!

The earth roared!

The three Tier Eight Fierce Beasts froze simultaneously.

They had no time to react, no time to even turn their heads toward the source of the blade light.

SCHLICK!

The first sound.

The head of the Iron-Backed Cyan Wolf flew high into the air!

Its crimson eyes were still open, filled with confusion.

SCHLICK!

The second sound.

The head of the Earth-Splitting Demon Bear also went flying!

Its massive body hadn’t even had time to fall before blood gushed from its neck like a crimson fountain!

SCHLICK!

The third sound.

The Profound Ice Python’s head flew the highest of all!

The Profound Ice Cold Qi it had been gathering in its mouth instantly exploded out of control, freezing its own body into an ice sculpture before shattering with a loud crash!

The three heads landed at almost the same time.

They rolled far into the distance.

Three headless bodies crashed to the ground!

Dust flew into the air!

Blood flowed!

Forming a small, crimson stream!

The three disciples stared with wide eyes, completely stunned by the scene before them.

One strike.

One strike to slay three Tier Eight beasts.

‘What kind of monster is this?!’

A figure descended from the sky and landed on the ground.

He sheathed his blade.

Only then did the three get a clear look at the newcomer.

He looked to be in his early twenties, with an ordinary face, and was dressed in the uniform of a Penglai Sect disciple. But his eyes were so calm it was unnerving.

It was Liang Cheng.

He stood there, his aura stable, as if that last strike was nothing but a casual swing. Not a single drop of blood had even touched the corner of his clothes.

The female disciple from the True Martial Sect felt her legs go weak, and she fell to her knees.

“Thank you, Senior, for saving our lives…”

The male disciple, his face also pale, cupped his fist in a salute. “Thank you, Benefactor!”

The young man in the lead took a deep breath, suppressing the shock in his heart. He cupped his fist and bowed.

“I am Liu Yunshan of the True Martial Sect. These two are my junior brother and sister. Thank you for saving our lives!”

Liang Cheng waved his hand, his gaze falling upon the three headless corpses.

His blade flashed out again, retrieving the three Tier Eight Demon Cores. He placed them into his Storage Pouch and then looked toward the massive fissure in the distance.

Liu Yunshan gritted his teeth and said,

“This fissure has been here for three days. Five of our brothers from the True Martial Sect have already died here. Disciples from other Sects have arrived, but no one dares to go inside…”

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but glance again at the corpses of the three Tier Eight Fierce Beasts.

Three Tier Eight beasts. The three of them together were strong enough to crush any Core Formation Realm Martial Artist.

But the man before them had killed them all with a single strike.
