Who would have thought that so many powerful monsters would arrive in such a short time.
A deafening roar came from afar, shaking the entire valley. Rong Jiaojiao looked up and saw a dark mass of demonic beasts surging in like a tide. The lowest level of these beasts was third-tier, and there were even a few peak fifth-tier demon kings circling overhead, their scarlet eyes fixed on them.
"Did I cause this trouble?" Rong Jiaojiao asked, somewhat bewildered.
Qing Xuanzi sighed helplessly: "Your cultivation just now triggered a celestial phenomenon, and these demonic beasts thought that a treasure had been born."
Rong Jiaojiao transmitted her voice to the demon beasts: "Seniors, the strange phenomenon that just occurred was caused by my cultivation. There are no treasures here."
It not only spoke itself, but also had Zi Ling translate it into animal language for the other monsters.
But those monsters wouldn't listen.
"roar--"
A crimson-eyed tiger at the peak of the fourth tier pounced first, its sharp claws tearing through the air with a piercing whistling sound.
Just as Qing Xuanzi was about to make a move, he saw Rong Jiaojiao's lips curl into an excited smile.
"Good timing, I'll use you to test the power of my natal formation."
With a wave of her slender hand, the Tiger Pearl suddenly lit up.
A visible spatial ripple spread out, and the demonic tiger's body suddenly twisted strangely in mid-air, as if it had been twisted into a pretzel by an invisible hand!
"Crack—" The sound of bones shattering was clearly audible. Before the demonic tiger could even let out a scream, it was shredded into a cloud of blood mist by the power of space!
“This…” Qing Xuanzi’s pupils suddenly contracted.
Although he knew his disciple's strength had greatly improved, he never expected it to be so terrifying!
Moreover, is this her natal formation?
How could it be a soul-bound formation?
Seeing this, the other monsters not only did not retreat, but instead charged forward even more frantically.
With a flap of its wings, a six-winged golden eagle unleashed hundreds of golden feathers like a torrential rain.
On the ground, an armored earth dragon kicked up a cloud of dust and opened its blood-red maw to bite at Rong Jiaojiao.
"Good timing!"
A burst of silver light appeared in Rong Jiaojiao's eyes, and all twelve Yuan Chen Pearls lit up simultaneously.
She formed hand seals and softly shouted, "Twelve Yuan Chen - Spatial Strangulation!"
In an instant, the space within a hundred feet radius of her suddenly twisted and deformed!
The incoming feathers mysteriously broke into several pieces in mid-air; countless fine cracks suddenly appeared on the indestructible armor of the Ironclad Earth Dragon, as if it had been cut by countless invisible sharp blades!
"Awooo—" A mournful roar echoed through the valley, and more than a dozen fourth-order or higher demonic beasts died at the same time!
But there were simply too many demonic beasts, and even more surged in the blink of an eye. Rong Jiaojiao snorted coldly, her hands changing into hand seals: "Rat - Spatial Pierce! Ox - Gravity Domain!"
The Rat Pearl shot out a silver thread, instantly piercing the head of the three-headed monster;
The Ugly Ox Pearl emitted a strange fluctuation, and the gravity within a radius of fifty feet suddenly increased tenfold!
The flying monsters fell like dumplings being dropped into a pot, while the ground monsters were crushed and unable to move!
"Master, rest, watch me!" Rong Jiaojiao fought with increasing ferocity. When she saw Qing Xuanzi about to make a move, she immediately stopped him and rushed into the beast horde in a flash.
With each wave of her hand, a group of demonic beasts fell; with each step she took, space itself distorted and rippled.
"Snake of the Snake - Space Devouring!" With a flick of her finger, a black hole suddenly appeared around a peak fifth-tier Azure-Eyed Demon Ape, swallowing it completely!
"Wu Ma - Spatial Refraction!" Dozens of attack spells strangely bounced back when they touched the silver light around her, blasting the casting monster into serious injury!
Qing Xuanzi was dumbfounded. The combat power his disciple was displaying at this moment far surpassed that of ordinary Celestial Master realm cultivators!
Those high-level demonic beasts that terrified ordinary cultivators were as vulnerable as chickens and dogs in front of her!
Just as the battle was turning in one direction, a deafening roar suddenly came from afar. A fifth-tier amethyst behemoth, as large as a small mountain, pushed through the horde of beasts and charged forward with earth-shaking strides!
"Jiaojiao, be careful!" Qing Xuanzi's expression changed drastically. "This is a ferocious beast comparable to a Celestial Master!"
Rong Jiaojiao smiled excitedly: "You've come at the perfect time!"
She quickly formed hand seals, and the twelve Yuan Chen Pearls flew up simultaneously, forming a mysterious array above her head.
"Twelve Zodiac Stars - God-Slaying Array - Activate!"
The sky and earth suddenly darkened, and the space within a radius of a thousand feet completely froze.
The amethyst behemoth, frozen in mid-air in its charging stance, showed fear in its eyes for the first time.
"Destroy!"
With a soft shout from Rong Jiaojiao, twelve silver lights intertwined into a net and swept past the Behemoth.
The next moment, the body of this seventh-order ferocious beast suddenly split into countless neat squares, as if it had been cut by the most precise space!
quiet.
A deathly silence enveloped the valley.
The remaining monsters froze in place, their eyes filled with fear.
It's unclear which monster let out a mournful cry first, but in the blink of an eye, hundreds of monsters retreated like a tide, leaving only corpses scattered on the ground.
The battle was swift, but her spiritual energy was also being depleted quickly. Now, more than half of her spiritual energy had been used up. If they didn't retreat soon, Rong Jiaojiao would be in for a tough fight.
Rong Jiaojiao let out a long sigh of relief, and the Twelve Yuan Chen Pearls slowly flew back to her sea of consciousness.
She turned to look at her master, only to see Qing Xuanzi staring at her with the eyes of someone looking at a monster.
Rong Jiaojiao thought her master was afraid of her, and her eyes reddened: "Master? Master?"
"You little brat..." Qing Xuanzi's lips twitched, "Now I'm afraid even your master can't beat you, right?"
Rong Jiaojiao pouted and said, "I thought Master was afraid of his disciple and didn't want his disciple anymore."
Qing Xuanzi snorted: "You wish. No matter how powerful you are, you are still my disciple and must take care of me in my old age and see me off when I die."
Rong Jiaojiao spat a few times: "What do you mean by 'seeing someone off at their deathbed'? That's so unlucky! Your disciple still wants Master to protect her for the rest of her life!"
Zi Ling was puzzled and asked the two of them telepathically, "Master, you are stronger than Master now, shouldn't you be the one protecting Master?"
Both of them laughed, and Rong Jiaojiao said, "Yes, I will protect Master from now on."
Qing Xuanzi laughed and said, "Let's pack up the spoils first, and then leave this place."
The Moon Spirit, perched on its master's shoulder, rang out: "I'll do it!"
It flew out and circled around, collecting all the monster corpses on the ground, not even sparing their blood.
Upon returning, he threw out dozens of demon cores, two of which were from the Celestial Master realm.
Rong Jiaojiao put them away, and Qing Xuanzi also waved his sleeve to dismantle the formation and the wooden house, summoning his flying sword and saying, "Let's go, let's find another place to cultivate..."
Before he could finish speaking, his expression suddenly changed, and he abruptly turned to look into the distance: "Someone's coming! And...very strong!"
On the horizon, two streaks of light were approaching at an astonishing speed.
The leader possessed an aura as deep and boundless as the ocean, clearly a Celestial Master realm expert.
Only when they got closer could they see the faces of the people who had come from them. The master and apprentice both breathed a sigh of relief. Humans were not like demonic beasts; fighting them was not so easy.
