Sheng Ning could barely handle the Golden Core stage demon beasts, but as her cultivation advanced to the Foundation Establishment stage, the number of small landmines in her spiritual space only increased.
However, dealing with a demonic beast at the Nascent Soul stage proved difficult for her.
Even Lu Qing'an, who was beside her, noticed her mood and couldn't help but raise his hand to pat her shoulder gently to soothe her.
"Tired? If you are, go down the mountain to rest. There are still your fellow disciples here."
"Your ability to hunt down so many monsters of higher levels on your own is unprecedented. Don't put too much pressure on yourself."
Upon hearing this, Sheng Ning, who was frowning over how to hunt down a Nascent Soul stage demon beast, immediately relaxed her tightly furrowed brows.
She wasn't tired.
On the contrary, the time she spent hunting monsters with Qiuqiu had made her feel excited.
Demonic beasts at the Fusion Stage are more intelligent and more powerful than those at the Golden Core Stage.
She might be slapped into mincemeat before she even appears before the monster.
Ordinary people would have already retreated far away by this point, fearing that the monsters would hurt them.
However, Sheng Ning did not think so.
The monster frenzy is the best time for cultivation; nothing can stimulate adrenaline more than the battlefield.
Her lips were slightly pursed, and although her expression relaxed, it still looked serious.
Lu Qing'an was afraid that she would act impulsively again.
Her ability to defeat a Golden Core stage demon beast was already a pleasant surprise for them.
The Integration Stage and the Golden Core Stage are another watershed, and he didn't want this surprise to turn into a shock.
She asked Guan Yunchuan to take her down the mountain to rest. Lu Qing'an glanced at the other sect cultivators who were still struggling nearby, and immediately rushed forward.
"Remember, you are not allowed to go up the mountain again!"
Yu Ye was also worried about her safety, so after leaving those words, he immediately followed Lu Qing'an.
Seeing that her senior brothers forbade her from taking any more action, Sheng Ning frowned.
Just as she lifted her foot to head towards where her senior brothers were, a strong hand grabbed her wrist.
"Junior sister, come down the mountain with me."
Sheng Ning forgot that her second senior brother had asked her fifth senior brother to take her down the mountain and to keep a close eye on her, forbidding her from going back up the mountain.
But that's a demon beast in the Fusion Stage.
The core inside a fusion-stage demon beast has been transformed into an inner core.
Sheng Ning still remembered that Shi Yueyao in the original book had obtained several demon beast inner cores. After refining them, she directly skipped the Nascent Soul stage from the Golden Core stage and entered the Integration stage, which shows how powerful the inner cores of demon beasts in the Integration stage are.
The appearance of a fusion-stage monster in this monster frenzy was an accident.
The four major sects sent the most disciples, and given their nature, they would definitely take away the inner cores of the Nascent Soul and Out-of-Body stage demon beasts.
They claimed that because there were many of them and they contributed a lot of effort, these inner cores should be given to them.
As the leading sect among the four major sects, the inner core of that Nascent Soul stage demon beast would definitely fall into the hands of the Taixu Sect.
Feeling itchy inside, Sheng Ning glanced at her senior brothers who were still in the Golden Core stage out of the corner of her eye. Then, thinking of Qin Chuan, a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator from the Taixu Sect, who was so arrogant that he could roam the continent with impunity, she became even more unwilling to leave just like that.
Guan Yunchuan seemed to sense that she didn't want to leave.
The hand gripping her wrist tightened. "Junior Sister, don't worry your senior brothers."
Sheng Ning looked up and met his eyes. "Fifth Senior Brother, don't try to play the emotional card when killing someone."
Guan Yunchuan only knew how to forge weapons and didn't understand these intricacies. "I didn't kill anyone."
Sheng Ning's eye twitched, and she immediately turned her head to look at the foot of the mountain. "Fifth Senior Brother, there is still a Golden Core stage demon beast there!"
Her tone was anxious, but Guan Yunchuan didn't take it seriously.
He grabbed her wrist and led her down the mountain, saying in a low voice, "Junior Sister, your Fifth Senior Brother is indeed not very clever, but he's not stupid either."
All the Golden Core stage demonic beasts have been hunted down; there are no Golden Core stage demonic beasts left.
Guan Yunchuan, who prided himself on knowing his junior sister well, was visibly taken aback when a Titan ape appeared before them.
Sheng Ning curled her lip, "I told you, there's still one fish that slipped through the net."
Sheng Ning never expected that this Titan Ape was the same one that had been chasing her relentlessly.
Finally, Titan Gorilla caught Sheng Ning again. Overjoyed, he raised his fist to smash her into a pulp.
"roar--"
Sheng Ning recognized the move and thought to himself how lucky he was to have encountered this Titan Ape again.
Just as Titan's fist was about to smash into her head, the blue-clad figure who had been standing halfway up the mountain disappeared.
Even Guan Yunchuan was startled and exclaimed, "Junior Sister!"
"I'm here, Fifth Senior Brother."
The sound came from above.
Guan Yunchuan was wary of Titan Gorilla, and when he looked up again, he saw Sheng Ning sitting on Titan Gorilla's shoulder.
Ignoring the Titan Ape's sudden frenzy, Guan Yunchuan had only one thought in his mind.
How did the junior sister get up there?
She didn't have a sword in her hand, could it be a teleportation talisman?
Nodding to himself, Guan Yunchuan was about to warn her to be careful of the Titan Ape's attacks when he pulled out a brand-new Gatling gun. The two of them then attacked the Titan Ape together.
Sheng Ning had no intention of drawing his gun.
She instructed Guan Yunchuan to aim his gun at the Titan's throat and fire. Once the Titan's throat ruptured and blood gushed out, she immediately pulled out two small landmines and inserted them into its wound.
Two loud explosions rang out. Guan Yunchuan, holding the Gatling gun, suddenly felt something hitting him and quickly took two steps back.
It happened in the blink of an eye.
A Titan's head smashed at his feet and rolled down the slope.
The Titan gorilla, whose head had been blown off, still stood there, blood gushing from its neck like a fountain.
