This strength, is it really just the Soul Realm?
Could it be some mythical breed?
"Sword levels the four seas."
At this moment, Jiang Mingtian seized the opportunity and burst forth, roaring loudly as all the shackles on his body were unlocked, his strength exploding to the extreme. Muscles, bones, and skin fused together into one force, he swung his sword in a dazzling strike, and it’s even more astonishing because the treasure sword in his hand was a law sword from the End of Dharma Cultivation World.
At this moment, fueled by cosmic energy, the law sword shone brilliantly, its sword aura nearly fifteen feet long.
However, this almost certain strike was dodged.
The mutant beast moved several meters to the side in a rather illogical manner, creating several phantom afterimages around it. Although the actual distance it moved was not substantial, it managed to evade Jiang Mingtian’s attack.
"What?" Jiang Mingtian missed his blow and was instantly shocked.
Are you cheating, you beast?
However, the mutant beast responded with a fierce peck, simple as a hen pecking at rice, yet this straightforward attack made Jiang Mingtian break out in a cold sweat instantly, with his soul giving off frantic warnings.
The attack was too fast to avoid.
In a last instinctive reaction, Jiang Mingtian tilted his head trying to dodge the lethal spot.
The huge beak struck, then quickly retracted.
The Transcendent metal armor on Jiang Mingtian’s shoulder instantly dented, he screamed in pain as his shoulder and spine shattered, the powerful force sending him flying backwards, tumbling several times on the ground and eating a mouthful of mud, before barely stopping.
Fortunately, he survived.
If his head had been struck just now, he would have definitely been doomed.
"Zhao Fangji, strike with me, I will kill this beast,"
At this moment, Li Yi could no longer care for the safety of the other two, he had just recovered and burst out with Gang Qi, swiftly flying towards the mutant beast.
Zhao Fangji clenched his teeth and also roared, his body radiating intertwining silver glows, all body shackles unlocked, as if he was a Heavenly Soldier clad in silver armor charging at the mutant beast.
Such a terrifyingly powerful mutant beast, if not battled to death, none of us would survive today.
The mutant beast let out a sharp cry, showing no intention of fleeing, instead it waved its wings, confronting both men, seemingly treating Li Yi and the others as prey to be hunted down.
With the heavy flapping of its wings, miniature tornadoes rose from the ground, sand and stones flying around, the trees hit were uprooted, then turned into fragments in the gale.
Such attacks, while not fatal, would immobilize anyone hit, leaving them at its mercy.
Li Yi and Zhao Fangji reacted quickly, not daring to charge head-on, but swiftly dodging left and right, employing their agile movements to evade its direct attacks, seeking an opportunity to get close.
The speed of two cultivators at the Soul Realm when fully exerting their power was incredibly fast.
The gusts rising from nowhere couldn’t catch them; instead, they smoothly avoided them.
"There’s only one chance, my Fei Mu Needle must strike unexpectedly. This beast can fly, once startled it may escape with a flap of its wings. If it holds a grudge, we can forget about progressing and can only head back home," Li Yi thought with a flicker in his vertical pupil.
The only thing he could rely on now was the sharpness of the Fei Mu Needle.
Other methods were useless, even if Li Yi had a splintered short stick that could put it to sleep, he absolutely couldn’t find a suitable opportunity to get close.
Zhao Fangji also knew Li Yi had a divine light hidden on him, supremely sharp, able to easily sever bodies. Having suffered a great loss from it initially, he too wanted to create an opportunity for a fatal blow for Li Yi, otherwise, continuing this fierce battle could lead to their total demise.
