"Wait a minute, stay behind me!"
Chu Ming felt there was something sinister about Jiang Yun and warned the remaining four, just in case something unexpected happened.
The others nodded. They had also seen Jiang Yun’s expression. They quickened their pace and rushed to the town entrance. It was already packed with people, all on high alert, their faces tense. The beast tide was synonymous with death in everyone’s minds.
The Inner Sect disciples from Burning Fire Valley and Chu Ming’s team stood out, not because of themselves, but due to their conspicuous sect clothing.
Chu Ming noticed Jiang Yun whispering something to a delicate-looking girl, then glanced at Chu Ming’s group. Chu Ming became increasingly wary, unsure of Jiang Yun’s intentions.
Shifting his gaze, he saw countless shadows on the horizon slowly approaching Sunset Town, ferocious as they rolled forward, with dust billowing up, bringing the beast tide.
One-Eyed Demon Wolves, Ten-Tailed Scorpions, Centipedes with a hundred legs, Zi Yan Crocodiles.....
As soon as these demon beasts appeared, they unleashed their auras fearlessly, causing dark clouds to fill the sky, covering Sunset Town, as if signaling the apocalypse, solidifying the tension in the air.
Someone shouted, and the martial artists in the town surged forward like a tide towards the endless beast horde, drawing their weapons, eyes full of killing intent.
Chu Ming sensed Jiang Yun was plotting something and, not trusting the situation, reminded his team again.
Chu Ming lightly tapped the ground with his foot, his body leaping forward like a goose across the water, instantly surpassing the martial artists ahead, diving into the beast tide amidst flashing swords and blood spray.
The surrounding martial artists focused on Chu Ming, amazed, while Jiang Yun snorted coldly. Chu Ming had unintentionally stolen her thunder, making her very displeased. Moreover, with rumors that Chu Ming was the top talent of the Great Yan Kingdom, her jealousy had long been inflamed.
For now, she hadn’t figured out how to specifically deal with Chu Ming, so she could only hold back. However, she wasn’t one to keep a low profile, so she immediately channeled all her spiritual power, forming a layer of blue defense armor around herself. The attacking demon beasts around her could only produce clinks and clatters, unable to break through.
Jiang Yun snorted coldly, releasing a palm strike that spread out like rippling waves.
Several demon beasts were instantly turned into blood mist, spurting blood everywhere. The most eye-catching figures on the battlefield were Chu Ming and Jiang Yun, their every move clearing the surrounding demon beasts, making it evident to the onlookers that they were sect disciples, spurring others to compete even harder, which helped to reduce some of their pressure.
"Golden Fish Swordsmanship!"
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh. Several illusionary golden fish danced on Chu Ming’s Silver Light Sword, darting around unpredictably....
Wherever the golden fish leapt, blood gushed from the demon beasts, slaughtering them instantly, their bodies piling up thickly on the ground.
Chu Ming’s power was overwhelming. Ordinary top-tier fourth-level demon beasts couldn’t withstand a single strike from him. Only the overlords among them could barely hold their ground against him, but even they were eventually cut down once Chu Ming got serious. This didn’t mean Chu Ming was invincible among fourth-level beasts.
There were still numerous rare bloodline beasts that made him cautious. After all, he wasn’t truly invincible in the Transcendence Realm. The five great talents of the Great Yan Kingdom were like a sword hanging over his head.
A massive roar echoed from afar. Chu Ming looked up and saw a gigantic figure slowly moving towards Sunset Town, its colossal presence like a mountain, exuding a fearsome aura that made the surrounding demon beasts retreat in fear.
Chu Ming was certain, and the beast’s pure aura gave him a suffocating feeling. This beast was even stronger than the Red-eyed Demon Tiger he had encountered in Li Family Town.
Chu Ming continued slaughtering demon beasts while keeping an eye on the approaching mountain-like beast. The surrounding martial artists also noticed the formidable creature, their faces filled with panic, but their unease gradually dissipated when they remembered Sunset Town housed two True Dao martial artists.
As the gigantic mountain-like beast approached within three hundred meters, the martial artists of the small town finally saw its full appearance.
Its entire body was covered in gleaming silver scales, each about three inches long, with two powerful clawed arms. The tips of those claws gleamed ominously, sending chills down one’s spine. Additionally, there was a sharp three-meter-long horn on its head that shone with cold, silvery light.
Its enormous green eyes, as large as millstones, glistened with an oily sheen. Its light footstep caused the ground to shake incessantly. Chu Ming’s heart turned cold at the familiar sight.
A Fifth-Level Middle-Tier beast, the One-Horned Evil Dragon!
The surrounding demon beasts that failed to escape were instantly crushed into pulp by the One-Horned Evil Dragon, with blood splattering and forming a mist in the air.
"Wretched beast, prepare to die!"
A powerful voice shouted from Sunset Town, followed by a massive blade aura descending from the sky, slashing fiercely at the One-Horned Evil Dragon. Sparks flew everywhere, reminiscent of a rain of fire.
A moment later, a figure in white flew out of Sunset Town. It was an old man in his fifties, with graying sideburns, but his complexion was spirited and his eyes bright. He held a blue long saber, clearly the source of the earlier blade aura.
"That’s Liu Yun, the Cyan Saber Blade Master! I’ve seen him in action before!"
A martial artist murmured while gazing up at the white-robed figure. In fact, fame was not limited to sect disciples. Martial artists who broke through to the True Dao Realm generally gained considerable renown, and the Cyan Saber Blade Master was one of them. Though not a sect disciple, he was a True Dao martial artist with a name known far and wide.
Repelled by a single blow, the One-Horned Evil Dragon’s eyes flared with anger. It extended its two sharp arms simultaneously, reaching out to grab Liu Yun. Whistling sounds filled the air, but the Cyan Saber Blade Master remained unfazed, instantly slashing five times in a row, breaking through waves of air and clashing with the One-Horned Evil Dragon’s limbs.
More sparks flew, and the Cyan Saber Blade Master retreated, finding the One-Horned Evil Dragon a tough opponent. Though it was a Fifth-Level Middle-Tier beast, its thick skin and tough flesh meant even a True Dao Third Layer martial artist might struggle to wound it seriously. Despite being at the peak of the True Dao Third Layer, the Cyan Saber Blade Master still had no effective strategy.
"Brother Ouyang, help me kill this beast!"
Out of options, the Cyan Saber Blade Master had to call for help from another True Dao martial artist in the town!
