As soon as Liu Yunqing released the fireball, it caused the two spotted tiger demons to raise their necks and roar. At the same time, the roars of beasts echoed throughout the entire Luoxia Mountain Range.
This time, not only Liu Yunqing's expression changed, but all the cultivators with a bit of common sense also changed their expressions.
This isn't just a case of monsters eating the Enlightenment Fruit; it's clearly a sign of a beast tide erupting!
"Isn't it said that the next beast tide will break out in another hundred years?"
At this moment, Feng Piaopiao's expression became solemn, and his usual carefree demeanor was no longer present. The others also nodded in agreement.
Liu Yunqing glanced at the spotted winged tiger's condition and said to everyone:
"Whatever the reason, we can only fight now."
"With such a commotion, the seniors must have their own arrangements, so there's no need to panic."
Perhaps it was because Liu Yunqing spoke so calmly and composedly that the group of people, who were initially somewhat flustered, were persuaded.
Looking at the increasing number of demonic beasts around them, Feng Piaopiao swallowed hard and asked:
"So... how do we fight now?"
With a flick of his wrist, Liu Yunqing gripped the Purple Spirit Bow and fired an arrow at the sneak attacking beast. Then, he soared into the air and said:
"Fight!"
The four were taken aback, but seeing that Liu Yunqing had already made his move, they no longer hesitated and joined the battle.
Although it was said to be a random hunt, the monsters that Liu Yunqing hunted were actually selected.
Prioritize shooting those who attempt to ambush the others, then target those whose weaknesses are exposed.
She held a bow in one hand and shot an arrow with the other. Her leaping and tumbling movements were clean and efficient, without any fancy moves.
Looking at her right hand, which was forming a hand seal, the speed at which she condensed spiritual energy into an arrow was smooth, elegant, and precise. The resulting spiritual arrow was dazzling, exquisite, and solid.
An arrow pierced through a demon beast without drawing any blood, but the beast collapsed with a thud, leaving only a charred hole in its neck.
Of course, most of the demonic beasts that were killed with a single arrow were the Foundation Establishment stage demonic beasts that surrounded them from behind.
Golden Core stage demonic beasts are still in the minority.
Even so, with Liu Yunqing clearing the obstacles, the remaining four could fight much more freely, at least without worrying about being ambushed by monsters.
As a result, Liu Yunqing's points increased rapidly. After hunting down two spotted winged tigers, the points on the five-person scoreboard rose even more sharply.
The team name "Treading Clouds Team" propelled them directly from the bottom to the top.
Their performance had already been observed by the elders and seniors watching the competition.
"These little guys are pretty good."
Someone pointed to the Cloud-Stepping Team, who were working enthusiastically, and said with great admiration.
Seeing this, another powerful being asked with a hint of doubt:
"I recognize these four little ones and know which family they belong to, but I don't remember this little girl at all?"
At fifteen or sixteen, his Foundation Establishment cultivation was solid, his combat ability was formidable, and even his spiritual root aptitude seemed excellent. How could he have no recollection of him at all?
After the powerful figure finished speaking, he turned to look at the others, who all shook their heads, indicating that they had no recollection of the event.
Only Daoist Jinghui of the Shangqing Sect remained expressionless. The powerful figure glanced at the scene and asked:
"Daoist Jinghui, I see your son in this group. You know that girl, right?"
Jinghui Daojun leaned back in his chair, his languidness mirroring Feng Piaopiao's, and slowly shook his head, saying:
"How would I know about my free-range dog?"
"Don't you have younger generations in your family too? Why don't you ask the other two families, Daoist Wenxi and Venerable Xian'en?"
The powerful figure who had asked the question looked at the other two and, as expected, shook his head, a thoughtful expression appearing on his face as he said:
"Judging from her demeanor and style, she doesn't seem to be a disciple of the Myriad Wonders Sect. Could she be a rogue cultivator?"
"If she were a rogue cultivator, I think she would be quite suitable for our Wuji Sword Sect."
The Venerable Xian'en and Daoist Wenxi remained silent, while Daoist Jinghui rolled his eyes and said:
"With this talent and cultivation, he's no worse than that one from the Myriad Wonders Sect. How could he not have a good background? Fellow Daoist Ming Chong, you really dare to think that way."
Mingchong Sword Lord ignored Jinghui Daojun's disdainful look and said matter-of-factly:
"Before attaining immortality, who knew there were heavens beyond heavens? Now that you're cultivating immortality, what's wrong with thinking a little more?"
"Tch! I had no idea your Boundless Sword Sect had switched to the Way of Daydreaming..."
"This Sword Master just realized that it has been a long time since I sparred with Fellow Daoist Jinghui!"
Upon hearing these veiled threats, Daoist Jinghui, who was lounging lazily against the back of his chair, instantly bristled. Just as he was about to retort, Daoist Wenxi beat him to it.
"Stop arguing! Those two old geezers just start arguing the moment they meet! Look at the game!"
When Daoist Wenxi spoke, the beautiful and dignified female immortal instantly transformed into a volatile female demon.
Although it wasn't pretty, it was definitely useful. Before the words were even finished, the two arguing people had already fallen silent.
Looking at the water mirror in front of them, the arguing duo realized that something seemed off about the scene.
The entire competition is now polarized.
Some, like the Cloud-Stepping Team, rampaged through the enemy ranks, killing one by one or picking out weaker monsters to kill; in short, they fought fiercely.
The other group was still in disarray, only knowing to shout "The beast tide is coming!" and then fleeing in a frenzy.
But this was a deliberately designated arena, so these people naturally couldn't escape. However, their current performance has already eliminated them from the minds of the powerful figures.
This phenomenon is actually quite reasonable, because the members of those teams that charge forward and rampage through the battlefield are mostly the top members of major sects.
Of course, there are also a very small number of teams, like the Cloud-Stepping Team, which include both independent cultivators and disciples from various sects.
However, because the Ta Yun team was too brave and Liu Yunqing's archery skills were really eye-catching, the onlookers couldn't help but focus their attention on them.
Unfortunately, only a few moments of brilliance were captured. To accommodate the panicked majority, this simulated beast tide competition seems destined to end without a trace.
"etc!"
Just as Mingchong Sword Master was about to instruct his men to explain the truth to the newbies in the arena, he was stopped by Wenxi Daojun, who pointed downwards and said with barely concealed excitement:
"Look! They're fighting!"
Following the direction pointed out by Daoist Wenxi, everyone saw that in the hunting arena, two teams were tense and ready to fight.
Upon closer inspection, weren't they the Ta Yun team and Yun Zhao team, which were ranked among the top?
Upon closer inspection, the two protagonists, locked in a tense standoff, were none other than Liu Yunzhao and Liu Yunqing.
Liu Yunzhao was still dressed in a moon-white dress. The matching shawl that she usually carried on her arm now resembled a goddess's veil, gently covering her body to shield her from the arrows coming from the opposite side.
Protected by the soft, flowing veil, Liu Yunzhao, hidden behind it, was gracefully and swiftly forming hand seals. Her long, slanted eyebrows and resolute eyes added a touch of powerful heroism to her ethereal aura.
However, when the audience turns their attention to Liu Yunqing on the other side, they feel that Liu Yunzhao's bravery is not worth mentioning.
Compared to Liu Yunzhao's layered robes and wide sleeves, Liu Yunqing's attire resembled that of a chivalrous knight-errant from the mortal world.
His already handsome and dashing face was covered by a half-metal mask, making him appear ruthless, cold, and mysterious.
Her fiery red, narrow-sleeved dress shone like a blazing light, her waist cinched with a brown leather belt, making her appear crisp, neat, supple, and upright. Her high ponytail, tied behind her head, swung up, exuding a cool and mysterious yet unrestrained and flamboyant aura.
As Liu Yunzhao focused all his energy on casting spells, Liu Yunqing held a longbow, nocked an arrow, and stared intently at his opponent's every move with eyes as sharp as a hawk's.
Stop making the hand gesture, loosen the bowstring.
In an instant, towering waves clashed with raging flames that seemed to scorch the heavens—
