Chapter 367: Chapter 367: You’re Right

"Everyone, let’s strike together. We must eliminate this demon beast, or none of us will survive!"

A cultivator from the Zhao Family spoke in such a manner.

Clearly, they could see that Zhao Zhijing had been repeatedly using the Holy Weapon, and now he was almost at his limit, needing time to recuperate.

Facing the demon beast’s renewed assault, they could only resist together for now.

"Buzz!"

As soon as the words fell, led by several strong members of the Zhao Family, a dozen cultivators all summoned their Magical Treasures, forcibly channeling their Spiritual Power into various techniques and Great Techniques, fiercely bombing the diving demon beast, hoping to scare it away.

"Roar!"

However, facing their attack, the flying demon beast showed no intention of retreating and instead opened its mouth, letting out an angry roar.

The terrifying soundwave shook down, instantly wiping out the crowd’s offensive.

Though they had Magical Treasures in hand, able to forcibly mobilize Spiritual Power, these treasures were not Holy Weapons. Faced with the flying demon beast, whose strength rivaled an ordinary Saint, how could they have hoped to be effective?

"Ah!"

In an instant, they heard continuous screams. The dozen or so who attacked were all sent flying by the soundwave, their bodies crashing heavily against the distant mountainside, unable to stop themselves from coughing up blood, gravely injured by the single strike.

"Buzz!"

Seeing such a scene, everyone could no longer sit still, realizing that if they did not act, they might be utterly defeated.

In an instant, more people summoned their Magical Treasures, forcibly channeling Spiritual Power, transforming into beams of sword aura or blade light, continuously slashing toward the flying demon beast.

"Roar!"

Under the assault of a swarm of cultivators, the flying demon beast roared, its massive wings flapping, raising gusts of wind, as if forming blades and sword edges, slicing forward.

Screams sounded one after another. Many could not evade and were directly engulfed, perishing instantly within the blade storm.

"Everyone, stand back, let me handle this!"

A cold snort sounded, and another elder in a white robe stepped forward.

This was also a strong figure at the Grand Elder level from the Zhao Family, who, entering the mountain this time, also brought a Holy Weapon.

With a Holy Blade in hand, no sooner had he appeared, did he strike without hesitation.

The astonishing blade light shone, making the entire world seem to lose its color.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the flying demon beast was instantly cut to ashes, turning into a cloud of black mist, dissipating in the air.

Such a scene caused everyone to let out a long breath, while vigilantly scanning the surrounding mountains and forests, as if afraid another demon beast might appear.

"Rustle..."

A movement from the nearby dense forest startled everyone.

Looking over, it was not a demon beast, but a young man in white, slowly walking out from the forest.

The young man in white was none other than Ji Chen.

The three demon beasts that had just appeared were clearly summoned by him from the Spirit Emperor Tower.

"It’s you!"

Amid the crowd, the Zhao Family cultivator who had previously come to report at the valley entrance was also present.

Upon seeing Ji Chen, he immediately recognized him as the one who had killed their Zhao Family member at the entrance of the valley.

"Grand Elder, it’s him, just now..."

This Zhao Family cultivator briefed Zhao Zhijing on the events that had just occurred.

Upon hearing his words, Zhao Zhijing squinted his eyes slightly as he looked toward Ji Chen, "Who are you, my young friend? This place has been sealed off by my Zhao Family. Why do you insist on breaking in, and even killed a member of my Zhao Family? This matter requires an explanation."

"This place belongs to no one; I just believe your Zhao Family has no reason or right to stop me from entering," Ji Chen paused, standing a dozen steps away from Zhao Zhijing and the others, facing off against them.

"Boy, do you know who you’re talking to?"

A Zhao Family cultivator sneered at his words, having been repeatedly disturbed by demon beasts earlier; they were now full of pent-up anger, with no one to vent it on, and couldn’t believe someone so reckless had now brought himself to them.

"Buzz!"

As he spoke, he took a step toward Ji Chen, simultaneously summoning his Magical Treasure, intending to capture Ji Chen directly.

"Roar!"

But suddenly, a glow rushed out from Ji Chen’s body, and in the blink of an eye, shot up into the sky.

With a roar sounding, everyone saw that a huge flying demon beast had appeared out of nowhere.

"What..."

"What’s going on? Where did this demon beast come from?"

"Could there be some kind of spatial path here, transporting these demon beasts here?"

The reappearance of the flying demon beast once again changed everyone’s expression.

"Stay there, boy. Once we deal with this demon beast, we’ll come back to kill you!"

The Zhao Family cultivator, who had planned to attack Ji Chen, snorted coldly. Evidently, he was now too preoccupied to continue targeting Ji Chen.

"Annoying."

As soon as his voice fell, they heard Ji Chen snort coldly.

Then everyone saw the flying demon beast dive down swiftly.

But this time, it wasn’t diving toward the crowd but instead aimed at the Zhao Family cultivator intending to attack Ji Chen.

"Hmm?"

Such a scene instantly changed the expression of the Zhao Family cultivator.

"Buzz!"

Without hesitation, he summoned his Magical Treasure, intending to fend off the flying demon beast.

"Bang!"

However, his Magical Treasure was no match at all, being directly smashed into pieces of scrap iron by the enormous wings of the flying demon beast.

"Ah!"

The scream echoed as the Zhao Family cultivator was watched by all, unable to dodge, and completely devoured by the flying demon beast in one bite!

"Beast!"

From afar, Zhao Zhijing and others tightened their expressions, intending to attack together and destroy this demon beast here.

"Whoosh!"

But soon they realized that after the demon beast devoured the Zhao Family cultivator, it showed no intention of attacking others, instead turning into a tunneling light and quickly flying back to Ji Chen’s side, as if awaiting his command and dispatch.

"This..."

Such a scene unfolding before their eyes, even if they were foolish, they now understood what was happening.

"Were those demon beasts just ordered by you?"

Zhao Zhijing’s brow furrowed, his gaze on Ji Chen, suddenly feeling a sense of foreboding.

"You’ve guessed correctly."

Ji Chen smiled, and once more a glow flew out from within him, transforming into a huge flying demon beast in the sky above.

The two demon beasts flapped their wings out of nowhere, roaring continuously, deafeningly, causing all those present to change their expressions in shock.

"Now, I’ll give you an opportunity, hand over everything you’re carrying to me, or else, today, you won’t be leaving here."

Ji Chen’s calm voice reached their ears.
