Chapter 137 - 137: Fierce Battle
"We of the demon race will not be polite about these two alchemy furnaces, and we'll also be taking your lives." The burly Turtle Demon spoke first, his words arrogant.
Before his voice faded, the Turtle Demon waved his palm, and two rays of light flew out from his side, transforming into two Level 7 peak demonic beasts with terrifying auras. Their fangs gleamed, and their roars shook the heavens!
Seeing this, the Golden-winged Bird and Golden Armor Crab also summoned two Level 7 peak demonic beasts each.
As a result, the demon race now had one Level 9 Demon Beast, two Grade 8 Demon Beasts, and six Level 7 peak demonic beasts, instantly overpowering the Human Race cultivators!
"There are actually six more Level 7 peak demonic beasts." Elder Lu Qi's brows furrowed, his expression unprecedentedly grim.
He turned and transmitted a message to his disciple beside him, "Find an opportunity to quietly step into the nearby Teleportation Array and leave this place quickly. You can't help much in this battle."
Upon hearing this, the disciple's face changed drastically, and a wave of panic surged in his heart.
He was only a Late stage of Golden Core cultivator and absolutely no match for two Level 7 peak demonic beasts.
Zhao Yongxiu dared not be negligent and also issued a retreat order to his disciples.
"Xiao Yu, Fang Hong, you two must also adapt to the situation and retreat immediately when you see the right moment." Lin Yi sighed softly, a hint of helplessness in his eyes, as he solemnly instructed the two beside him.
With so many high-grade demonic beasts brought by the demon race this time, the battle for the spirit pill was likely unwinnable. The most important thing now was how to preserve their lives and escape.
Fang Hong and Xiao Yu nodded gravely.
However, Fang Hong still thought about the Demonic Fire alchemy furnace. According to the current situation, he had no chance to steal the alchemy furnace.
"Kill. Don't let a single one escape." A sharp roar suddenly rang out. The Turtle Demon, with a ferocious expression, ordered sternly.
The demonic beasts responded and surged forward aggressively, attacking Fang Hong and the others.
At the same time, the three Great Demonic Beasts—the Turtle Demon, Golden-winged Bird, and Golden Armor Crab—also attacked together, their Demonic Qi surging, directly pressing down on the cultivators.
"Do you really think I'm afraid of you beasts?" Lin Yi snorted coldly, his face like frost, and suddenly erupted with the vast aura of a Nascent Soul Middle Stage cultivator.
With a wave of his hand, six white longswords whistled out, their sword light sharp, striking at the Turtle Demon, who was of the same grade as him.
Elder Lu Qi also attacked instantly. He conjured a talisman Brush Spiritual Treasure. As the brush tip moved, a large number of talismans appeared in the void, and heavenly thunder descended, striking fiercely at the attacking Golden-winged Bird.
Although Zhao Yongxiu's Lifebound Treasure had been taken by Fang Hong, as a Nascent Soul Cultivator, he naturally wouldn't have only one Spiritual Treasure.
He immediately conjured a golden circular Spiritual Treasure, which transformed into a golden light, striking directly at the pouncing Golden Armor Crab.
Bang. Bang. Bang.
The three Nascent Soul Cultivators and the three Great demonic beasts engaged in fierce combat, erupting in earth-shattering battles in mid-air.
Spiritual light and Demonic Qi intertwined and collided, sparks flying, shaking the entire grand hall. The surrounding space rumbled and vibrated.
At the same time, Fang Hong and the other Core Formation Stage cultivators also had no choice but to face two Level 7 peak demonic beasts each.
Xiao Yu was the first to attack. With a solemn expression, she unhesitatingly conjured a shimmering golden talisman.
As her magic power was activated, three golden turtle shells appeared beside her. It was precisely the Turtle Shell Talisman.
Roar.
A furious roar sounded as a gigantic Crab Demon burst forth, fiercely striking the turtle shell beside Xiao Yu.
The turtle shell immediately glowed golden, blocking all attacks. Xiao Yu was sent flying backward, but fortunately, the Turtle Shell Talisman's defense was extremely strong; a mere Level 7 peak demonic beast could not break through its defense.
The Late stage of Golden Core cultivator from the Ten Thousand Talisman Sect also reacted quickly, throwing out a blue talisman from his hand. Spiritual light burst forth; it was clearly a top-grade talisman. He quickly became entangled in battle with the two demonic beasts.
The disciple from Shadow Demon Island, on the other hand, conjured a demonic banner Spiritual Treasure. Black mist surged, protecting his entire body, and he also engaged in a fierce battle with the demonic beasts.
Fang Hong also quickly attacked. His opponents were an Azure Sea Serpent and an Earth Dragon Beast, both "old friends" he had fought before.
Fang Hong first conjured a Turtle Shell Talisman to float above him, preventing a sudden attack from the three Great Nascent Soul Cultivators.
Then, with a raised hand, the Heavenly Thunder Needle appeared, instantly transforming into a sharp axe, its golden light shining, splitting directly towards the Earth Dragon Beast.
He couldn't deal with those Nascent Soul Stage Great demonic beasts, but he was confident in dealing with a few Level 7 peak demonic beasts.
Roar.
The Earth Dragon Beast and the Azure Sea Serpent attacked fiercely, their massive bodies pressing in from both sides, attempting to crush Fang Hong in one fell swoop.
Fang Hong advanced instead of retreating, bringing the sharp axe down forcefully. With a "Pfft" sound, deep bloody gashes immediately appeared on the two Demonic Beasts' bodies, blood splattering, and they roared repeatedly, flying back several feet.
Thus, the Human Race cultivators and the demon race engaged in a fierce battle on the fourth floor of the Dragon Palace.
The Level 9 Turtle Demon fought Lin Yi in human form. Lin Yi's ancient sword Spiritual Treasure was exceptionally sharp, and combined with various sword techniques, he gradually forced the Turtle Demon into a disadvantage.
In desperation, the Turtle Demon had no choice but to revert to its true form, transforming into a gigantic turtle. Its defensive Divine Power instantly increased several times, which in turn forced Lin Yi into a disadvantage.
On the other side, the Golden-winged Bird and Golden Armor Crab were also at a disadvantage, but after reverting to their true forms, their Divine Abilities were maximized, and they quickly turned the tide, forcing Elder Lu Qi and Zhao Yongxiu to retreat steadily.
These were some characteristics of Great demonic beasts. Although transforming into human form could speed up their Cultivation, it also limited their original Divine Abilities to a certain extent.
Once they reverted to their true forms, their innate Divine Abilities could be maximized, such as the Turtle Demon's defense and the Golden-winged Bird's speed.
"Ah."
After fighting for a while, a shrill scream suddenly came from nearby.
The Late stage of Golden Core cultivator from the Ten Thousand Talisman Sect was pierced through the body by the combined efforts of two demonic beasts, blood gushing out.
The two demonic beasts roared excitedly, tearing him in half, leaving no complete corpse.
"Damn it." Elder Lu Qi watched his disciple die tragically, his heart burning with rage. He continuously unleashed several scorching talismans, fiercely blasting towards the Golden-winged Bird.
But the Golden-winged Bird's movements were agile. After reverting to its true form, its speed soared, and it nimbly dodged all attacks, even mockingly saying, "Hahahaha. Today, none of you will be able to teleport out."
No sooner had the Golden-winged Bird's laughter faded than another scream came from not far away.
The Core Formation Stage cultivator from Shadow Demon Island also couldn't hold on. He had intended to fly towards the Teleportation Array but was seized by two demonic beasts, who split him in half, and he died tragically.
Gag. Gag. Gag
The Golden Armor Crab let out a strange laugh, smug and overjoyed. The two demonic beasts it brought had successfully killed an enemy, making it ecstatic.
Zhao Yongxiu saw his disciple die tragically, his old face incomparably gloomy. He quickly cast an escape technique, moving nimbly through the air, desperately dodging the Golden Armor Crab's fierce attacks.
