The battle between the beasts was extremely chaotic. As the magical beasts surged forward in response to the cries of the beasts, the ground trembled even more violently, and the ground beneath their feet cracked open, with the cracks extending all the way down to the foot of Mount Wuji.

Amidst the swirling spiritual energy and rippling waves, Qinghe and the others channeled their spiritual power to erect a protective layer from the center, safely shielding the injured members of the Liu family within. They then drew their swords to fight against the demonic beast.

The monsters were ferocious, far stronger than humans, and far more numerous. Even with Qing and his sharp sword, they were unable to stop them and were quickly surrounded.

A wave of azure light rippled, and sword energy spread for miles. After several demonic beasts were repelled by the sword energy, they still pounced on her relentlessly.

These magical beasts charged forward recklessly, like suicide soldiers, unafraid of death. If it weren't for the fact that they were conscious, Qinghe would have suspected that they were being controlled.

With another sword strike, he killed the demonic beast, but his back was struck by a heavy blow. Qinghe suddenly turned around and killed the demonic beast. He turned his head to look at his back and found that he was not injured.

She rolled up her sleeves, revealing a smooth, flowing light on her snow-white skin, with clearly defined red phoenix feathers.

She suddenly remembered the feather armor that Tong had attached to her body. It was sturdy and indestructible, capable of withstanding any fatal attack. She must have found its effect in that attack just now.

With the protection of the feather armor, Qinghe was no longer restrained and charged into the beast horde once again.

Mu Dong stood with his sword in hand, his gaze sweeping over the countless magical beasts lurking around him, his usually agile and pure temperament now tinged with ruthlessness.

Behind him was Li Jiang, who also wielded a sword.

Despite the circumstances, Mu Dong remained true to his original aspirations and said to Li Jiang, "Senior Brother, if we can leave here safely today, I will return to the sect to cultivate diligently and never come out again."

Li Jiang's face remained cold. "You've said this countless times, but when have you ever kept your promise?"

"This time it's for real, I swear," Mu Dong said with utmost seriousness. "The outside world is too scary, I don't want to come out and see it."

Li Jiang ignored his comment and said calmly, "Perform well, and I'll treat you to the most luxurious restaurant in the world when we get back."

Mu Dong's eyes suddenly lit up. "Okay, you said it, so don't go back on your word."

Li Jiang: "Mm."

Upon receiving Li Jiang's assurance, Mu Dong felt a chill in his heart, but a happy smile appeared on his face. He gripped his sword tightly, made up his mind, and immediately rushed forward.

Birds hovered in mid-air, their intelligence undeveloped, charging relentlessly. Perhaps magical beasts are always attracted to glittering things; the giant eye turned and locked onto the protective layer.

With a flap of its wings, the lead bird led countless flying beasts in a swooping descent from the sky, heading straight for the protective layer.

Liu Yuntai was the first to notice something was wrong. He quickly sheathed his sword and stood in front of his family, circulating his spiritual power throughout his body. His strength suddenly surged to its maximum limit to resist the attack of the demonic beast.

However, the difference in strength between humans and magical beasts is always vast, and before long, blood was seeping from the corner of Liu Yuntai's mouth.

"Cloud Platform!"

Liu's mother slowly woke up at some point, and cried out in alarm when she saw her son injured. She was even more terrified when she saw the attacking monsters around her.

Liu Yuntai didn't turn around, but only called out with difficulty, "Mother."

Liu's mother staggered to her feet and walked to Liu Huiyang's side. "Huiyang, how are you?"

Her clothes were tattered and she was in a mess, but her innate noble and elegant temperament gave her the air of a fallen beauty.

Liu Huiyang snapped out of his meditation and took his mother's hand, saying softly, "It's not good."

Mother Liu looked at him with concern, "I'll transfer spiritual energy to you." She had just raised her hand when Liu Huiyang stopped her.

"No need, you're not feeling well, don't bother."

Unexpectedly, Mother Liu insisted, "You need spiritual power more than I do. If you recover quickly, you will be able to use the Gate of No Form to force back the beast tide."

Liu Huiyang looked around at the heavily surrounded area and did not stop them.

As the horde of beasts grew larger, Liu Yuntai could no longer withstand the pressure. He was forced to cough up blood, his vision blurred, and his strength waned. Seeing his power weaken, the demonic beasts suddenly unleashed a terrifying pressure upon him.

A patch of blue blocked his way.

"Qinghe..."

Qinghe didn't respond. He held his cold sword horizontally in front of him to defend against the demonic beast, and then said, "If you're not dead, come and help."

The harsh words jolted Liu Yuntai back to his senses. He straightened up, his fighting spirit rekindled, and he channeled spiritual energy into his cold sword, standing shoulder to shoulder with Qinghe to fight the enemy.

The more monsters there were, the more outnumbered they became, and the protective barrier began to crack under the constant attacks of the monsters.

Just a second before the protective layer completely shattered, a dragon's roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth.

The roar was deafening to everyone. They looked up and saw a dragon winding its way through the dense dark clouds, swimming into the sea, its majestic aura shaking heaven and earth.

Qinghe heard someone call her name from behind. She turned around and saw a familiar figure.

Mo Junqian's usually cold face was now adorned with a gentle smile. He walked step by step to Qinghe, stood side by side with her, and said softly, "Senior Sister."

Qinghe's expression remained indifferent, and upon hearing this, he nodded slightly in response.

Mo Junqian was already used to Qinghe's indifference. He raised his hand, pointed in a direction, and said, "Senior Sister, look."

Qinghe looked in that direction and saw dark clouds obscuring the sun in the distance, with a moving mountain slowly drifting towards them.

The enormous creature instilled fear in the herd of beasts, causing them to retreat. However, many magical beasts were still trampled underfoot by the dragon, their flesh and blood flying everywhere in a gruesome sight.

Qing frowned: "What is that?" Reinforcements? That's too domineering.

Mo Junqian answered her question: "It's Senior Chi Yuan, a friend of the Jiaolong, who came to help us."

Chi-yuan? Which direction did it come from? Could it be the Chi-demon from the sea that we encountered on the way here?

No matter who it is, as long as they are not an enemy, everything is negotiable.

The giant dragon was incredibly strong. Its appearance scared away countless magical beasts, relieving the pressure on Li Jiang and the others.

Everyone knew very well that once the beast tide was triggered, there was no turning back. They would not retreat on their own unless they fought to the death.

With the help of the dragon and the salamander, the monsters were temporarily scattered, but their good fortune did not last long. Before long, they showed signs of regrouping, and their speed and strength were even more ferocious than before.

A massive, earth-shattering battle ensued, with the beasts utilizing their strengths, forming a tight group, and launching a coordinated attack.

With a crisp "crack," the protective layer shattered completely, exploding into countless fragments that splashed onto the ground and dissolved into the soil.

Liu Huiyang and the six elders of the Liu family gradually regained consciousness from their meditation state, and the trauma caused by their previous loss of consciousness had mostly healed.

Liu Huiyang and the elders exchanged glances, then Liu Yuntai was summoned.

"In a moment, the elders and I will use the Gate of No Form to subdue the beast horde. Be prepared."

Liu Yuntai gazed at his father, then looked at the elders, and nodded solemnly.
