Chapter 285 Slaying the Demonic Beast
"You, you, you, what do you mean 'you'? You can't beat me in a fight, and you can't win an argument with me. What else can you do?"
Looking at the two who were locked in a fierce argument, Nan Muyin shook her head and said, "Alright, stop arguing and let's proceed according to the plan we just discussed."
"Fifth Junior Brother, you lead the way," Nan Muyin said.
"Alright!" Cen Feng manipulated the puppet to rush towards the agreed route, dropping array boxes made by Ye Luo along the way, instantly erecting a barrier along the way and forming a long corridor.
"Third Junior Sister, Yu Xuan, you cover the rear, the rest of you follow me!" Nan Muyin flashed forward to clear the way, leading the group forward.
After everyone had run out, Ye Luo put away the magic array that had been holding up for so long, and followed with Yu Qianling.
Seeing everyone flee, the ninth-tier demonic flame python angrily commanded its minions to charge, while it flew away rapidly, blocking Nan Muyin's path and roaring continuously.
Nan Muyin's face darkened, and in an instant, a sword formation appeared in the air. He shouted, "Get out of my way, and I'll spare your life!"
"How dare you speak so arrogantly! Kill!" A shrill voice rang out, and its huge serpentine tail rose up, stirring up waves of magma that rushed towards Nan Muyin and the others who were standing by the rocks.
Seeing this, Qingyu quickly summoned the Ice Crystal Lotus to block the splashing lava, and everyone else also quickly set up protective shields and other magical artifacts.
Ye Luo and his two companions stopped in their tracks. The path that had been supported by the array box in front of them had been completely broken through by the lava. In addition, many demonic flame pythons climbed up and blocked their way.
"Good heavens, then don't blame me for eating spicy strips today!" Ye Luo suddenly swung the dragon bone whip in his hand, which instantly solidified into a sword. The sharp sword light cut through the blood, and the demonic flame python blocking his way was cut into several pieces in an instant.
The sounds of fighting echoed through the cave. Bai Ruoqian walked along the winding stone path and, hearing the commotion behind her, couldn't help but sneer, "Hmph, it would be best if they all died there, saving me a lot of trouble."
"You're overthinking it." At this moment, the voice of the Soul Guide rang out. "Those Flame Pythons probably won't be able to hold them off for long. Let's hurry and go find what we need."
Looking at the maze-like stone path, Bai Ruoqian asked, "Is what you're talking about really in this secret realm?"
"It's hard to say. Back then, the space region shattered into several pieces during the great battle, and we don't know if they're still within this secret realm. You should try to get to the surface first so I can see the whole picture."
"good."
Bai Ruoqian suddenly paused, turned around and looked behind her. Xin Hun Yin knew what she was thinking and said, "You don't need to worry about Su Yuyuan. He will be fine with Yang Shen. On the contrary, if he comes with us, his life will be in danger."
Bai Ruoqian nodded slightly, her eyes flickered, and turned to look at the intricate stone path. She randomly chose one and walked deeper into the path.
Inside the cave.
The ninth-tier demonic beast let out a shrill scream. It was now curled up, its face deathly pale, staring at its tail that Nan Muyin had severed with her sword. Bright red blood gushed from the wound and seeped into the churning lava.
Nan Muyin single-handedly fought against a ninth-tier demonic beast without being at a disadvantage, stunning the onlookers in the distance.
Ji Xuan sighed, "The pressure emanating from Nan Muyin must have already reached the Nascent Soul stage, right? Why is he still stuck at the Core Formation stage? What is he trying to do?"
Cen Feng said smugly, "Of course it's for the convenience of the competition. My senior brother is the final character."
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized that if one reached the Nascent Soul stage, not only would they be unable to participate in the Grand Competition, but they would also be restricted from entering the secret realm. These people from Peach Blossom Valley were too despicable!
“No wonder…” Yang Shen couldn’t help but shake his head with a wry smile upon hearing this, feeling somewhat ashamed of himself. He glanced at Ye Luo, who was rushing towards them, and was surprised that even he had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage.
That kind of almost omnipotent talent for cultivation is something he can never hope to match in his lifetime.
Suddenly, he noticed something strange moving in the lava in front of Ye Luo, and his heart tightened as he warned, "Ye Luo, be careful!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the flat rocks under Ye Luo's feet suddenly turned into sharp stone cones.
Fortunately, thanks to Yang Shen's reminder, Ye Luo pulled Yu Qianling, who was rushing ahead, back and jumped, thus narrowly escaping disaster.
"Are you alright?" Yu Xuan asked in alarm.
"It's alright, luckily my junior brother pulled me back." Yu Qianling turned to look at Ye Luo and noticed that there was a cut on the back of his hand, with bright red blood dripping down.
"Junior brother, you should stop the bleeding first." Ye Luo's attention was focused on what was in front of him, and only then did he realize that he was injured. He immediately had a bad feeling and quickly took out some medicine powder and a handkerchief to cover the wound.
But it was too late. Attracted by the sweet scent of blood, the demonic flame pythons swarmed toward him, looking as if they wanted to devour him whole.
"What's wrong with them? Why are they all crowding around Yeluo?" Qingyu asked in confusion.
"I don't know," Shi Li said. "Could it be attracted by blood energy?"
"I don't think so. We were injured too, but we didn't see this kind of commotion," Ji Xuan said, denying it.
Nan Muyin was alarmed upon seeing this. Ever since he learned that Ye Luo possessed the Heavenly Spirit Body, he had consulted many ancient books and was naturally aware of the great crisis that was about to unfold.
He didn't bother to kill the ninth-tier demon beast in front of him and hurried towards Ye Luo.
Just then, everyone felt the earth shake violently, and rocks kept falling from the sky. Du Jiaoxi observed the situation and shouted, "Don't just stand there! Take this opportunity to run out!"
"But what about Ye Luo and the others?" Shi Yi asked anxiously.
Du Jiaoxi said, "Don't worry, they are all very capable people. Your presence here will only be a burden."
"Ahhh, get out of here!" At this moment, Xiao Huan, who was running away quickly, ran towards a nearby stone path and disappeared in no time, leaving the disciples present stunned.
"Hey, what are you all standing there for? Let's go!" Du Jiaoxi pointed to the stone path that Xiao Huan had rushed into, urging the group who were still hesitating.
Suddenly, a deep, beastly roar rang out. Everyone looked over and saw that the "rock" beneath Ye Luo's feet was trembling incessantly, as if it were a living thing, and the surrounding lava began to churn.
Ye Luo and the others summoned their flying artifacts and looked down at the churning lava below. A moment later, a pair of huge beastly eyes emerged from the lava and fiercely scanned them.
Shi Yi asked in astonishment, "What is that thing? A dragon?"
Qingyu said, "No, that looks like a dragon."
