Chapter 366: One After Another

Chapter 366: Chapter 366: One After Another

"Whoosh!"

The flying demon beast was enormous, spreading its wings wide to cover the sky, almost filling up this stretch of void and casting a vast shadow on the ground.

Despite its massive size, its speed of movement was anything but slow.

After being summoned by Ji Chen, it swiftly flew deeper into the valley.

Ji Chen summoned it to pave the way ahead, and such a huge demon beast passing overhead would surely instigate any lurking demon beast or hidden danger in the mountains, bringing them out.

This way, it would provide considerable protection for Ji Chen’s safety.

"Whoosh!"

Soon, while the flying demon beast moved, Ji Chen wasn’t idle either. He also quickly advanced through the valley, following behind the demon beast.

This valley wasn’t very large, and in less than a quarter-hour, Ji Chen released his divine thought and sensed the presence of cultivators not far ahead.

He hid in the shadows, maneuvering the flying demon beast to charge towards where the crowd was located.

"Hmm?"

The sudden upheaval caught everyone inside the valley by surprise.

They looked up towards the sky and couldn’t help but show surprise as they saw the gigantic flying demon beast heading their way.

"Not good!"

"A demon beast attack! Everyone, be careful!"

A white-robed elder in the crowd loudly spoke.

The elder was named Zhao Zhijing, a Grand Elder of the Zhao Family in Divine River City, a powerful figure at the Great Saint Realm level.

But now, within the Emperor’s Fall Mountain Range, his cultivation was entirely suppressed. Facing this suddenly attacking demon beast, Zhao Zhijing’s face also changed colors instantly.

"What’s going on? We should have swept away these hidden dangers on our way here, so why is a demon beast suddenly attacking from behind?"

"Don’t be careless, this beast is extremely powerful. It likely has the strength to rival a Quasi-Saint realm expert!"

While discussing, everyone hurriedly took out the magical treasures they had brought, intending to forcibly evoke their spiritual power to confront the beast.

Little did they know, this demon beast wasn’t lurking somewhere in the valley but was summoned by Ji Chen from the Spirit Emperor Tower.

"Roar!"

The roar reverberated, echoing throughout the entire valley.

The flying demon beast’s speed was fast, and in the blink of an eye, it swooped down before the crowd.

It opened its mouth wide and roared loudly, sound waves surging instantly, causing more than a dozen cultivators who were unable to dodge in time to bleed from all seven orifices, their faces turning pale.

"Beast!"

Zhao Zhijing snorted coldly, eyes flashing with cold light. Just then, he summoned an ancient mirror, simultaneously performing a seal technique to forcibly activate the ancient mirror.

"Buzz!"

The space violently trembled for a moment, and afterward, a golden light shot out from the ancient mirror and transformed into a fearsome sword aura, fiercely slashing towards the flying demon beast.

"Roar!"

The flying demon beast roared fiercely, forming terrifying sound waves that pressed forward, attempting to destroy the sword aura.

But this sword aura, after all, was emitted by a holy weapon, possessing extraordinary power and was not extinguished by the sound waves, slashing down with overwhelming force.

"Boom!"

A loud explosion sounded, seeming to make the mountain sway along with it.

Under everyone’s gaze, the flying demon beast was struck by the golden sword light and blasted away; its thick fur provided strong defense, so its flesh wasn’t pierced by this sword strike.

The giant body crashed heavily onto a distant cliff wall, splitting open the mountain there.

"Roar!"

However, despite appearances, the flying demon beast wasn’t significantly hurt. It quickly got up from the ground, roared once more, and flew high again, and dove towards the crowd below.

"Kill!"

Zhao Zhijing’s expression turned ice cold, and after another snort, he wielded the ancient mirror once again, conjuring another golden sword light to slash out.

"Buzz!"

Space trembled violently again; judging by the aura, the power of this sword was evidently stronger than the previous one.

"Boom!"

The flying demon beast was slain mid-air by this sword, turning into flying ash and dissipating into the void.

"Strange, why does this demon beast vanish without blood after dying, directly obliterated?"

The scene in mid-air made everyone below exhale deeply, while their hearts couldn’t help but feel curious.

"It must be because the Grand Elder’s holy weapon is too powerful, directly erasing this demon beast without leaving a trace," a Zhao family cultivator commented.

But at this moment, Zhao Zhijing frowned, feeling that something was off but unable to pinpoint the reason.

"Roar!"

And just as he was about to put away the ancient mirror, suddenly, another roar rolled through from the distant forest.

"There’s another demon beast!"

Everyone was shocked, having barely let out a sigh of relief before more trouble arrived.

"Whoosh!"

Eyes turned towards the mountain, a giant shadow leaped out, soaring up to the cloud heights.

This was also a flying demon beast, and its appearance and size were identical to the one just slain by Zhao Zhijing.

"What is going on? Why are there two demon beasts appearing here?"

Everyone frowned, not daring to think too much, immediately hiding behind Zhao Zhijing.

Zhao Zhijing’s face turned grim.

In this mountain range, his cultivation was completely suppressed, needing the help of a holy weapon to forcefully evoke spiritual power, but this kind of method obviously couldn’t be used many times.

Having already used two chances to kill the previous demon beast, now another appeared, catching him off guard.

"Kill!"

But at this point, the circumstances clearly didn’t allow him to think too much.

With a cold shout, Zhao Zhijing wielded the ancient mirror again, striking out with an astonishing sword.

"Boom!"

A loud crash echoed, and unsurprisingly, under the observant eyes, the second flying demon beast was once again slain into ashes by his sword.

The crowd exhaled in relief.

Only Zhao Zhijing, furrowing his brow, looked slightly pale.

Evidently, forcibly activating the holy weapon, especially for three consecutive times, wasn’t easy for him.

"Roar!"

But to his despair, barely a moment after the second beast was slain, another roar suddenly spread from the distant forest.

"Whoosh!"

Once again, the same demon beast emerged from the forest, soared into the sky, and without hesitation, swooped towards the crowd’s direction.

"Damn it, why one after another? Have we poked their nest?" someone in the crowd couldn’t help but curse angrily.
