69: Chapter 69 Third-Order Demon King

Huangfu Yunni's pretty face went pale, then immediately flushed red.

She was both embarrassed and angry.

"This old lecher!"

She gritted her teeth, about to retort, but looking at the unrecognizable puddle of meat beneath her feet and the cracked ground, she swallowed the words back.

This guy, his cultivation level is so low, how can his Physical Body be this strong?

"What are you looking at? Kill the Yao Beast!"

Jiang Feng glared at her irritably and threw another punch with his backhand.

A black-striped leopard pouncing on him had its entire chest cavity collapsed by the blow, flying sideways and knocking down a whole row.

He himself acted as if nothing had happened, turning and rushing toward another group of beasts.

Huangfu Yunni stomped her foot, her face shifting between red and white, but in the end, she didn't chase after him to scold him. Instead, she brandished her longsword, venting all her shame and anger on the surrounding Yao Beasts.

The battle continued until the bloody sunset of the next day.

Outside the western wall of Huoyang Commandery, it had completely turned into a meat grinder.

Severed limbs and the corpses of Yao Beasts piled up like mountains, and the foul-smelling blood gathered into streams, soaking every inch of the land.

The surviving Cultivators all had bloodshot eyes, their bodies and faces covered in blood that made it impossible to distinguish friend from foe.

"Second Master, we have seventeen injured and eight dead on our side."

Young Master Jiang Chen dragged an arm scratched by a Yao Beast's sharp claws to Jiang Feng's side. His voice was hoarse, but his eyes revealed a bloodthirsty excitement.

Jiang Feng kicked aside the corpse of a Yao Wolf, took a deep breath, and nodded.

This casualty count was within his expectations, even better than he had anticipated.

He looked around.

The Cultivator teams sent by the Qin Family, Zhou Family, and the Zhu Family had suffered at least thirty percent casualties.

Many people, upon seeing the Yao Beasts pounce, reacted by retreating to protect themselves, which only caused their formations to scatter and led them to die even faster.

Yet, his Jiang Family's Yao Beast hunting team, that bunch of desperate men, were all fearless. In groups of three or five, they formed small formations and forcibly carved out a foothold in the beast tide.

Because they knew that if they died, the Jiang Family would provide for their families and children, and their sons could even become Inner Sect Disciples of the Jiang Family!

This life was worth selling!

"Let the injured brothers retreat. There are plenty of Medicinal Pills!"

Jiang Feng pulled a large handful of Medicinal Pill bottles from his Storage Pouch and threw them to Young Master Jiang Chen.

"Go, tell those injured Cultivators from other families on the wall: if they want to buy healing Medicinal Pills, the Qixia Alchemy Pavilion has plenty. The prices are fair and honest!"

"Yes!"

Young Master Jiang Chen grinned, took the Medicinal Pills, and went to make arrangements.

War brings wealth; it would be a waste not to profit from it.

Jiang Feng felt the surging Qi and blood in his body and was quite satisfied with this.

This whole day of slaughter felt less like a bitter battle to him, and more like a hearty warm-up exercise.

He only had the cultivation of the sixth level of the Qi Refining stage, but the strength and stamina of this body, modified by the System, had far exceeded that of an ordinary Qi Refining Great Perfection.

He even felt he could keep fighting for another three days and three nights!

Just then.

"ROAR!"

A roar seemed to come from the Nine Netherworlds, shaking the heavens and the earth!

Sound waves rolled out, sweeping across the battlefield.

In an instant, all the low-tier Yao Beasts that were still crazily charging stopped in their tracks.

The deafening sounds of slaughter on the battlefield eerily vanished.

All the Cultivators stopped their movements, looking toward the depths of the Black Mountain in horror.

What was that sound?

Just the roar alone made their Divine Souls tremble!

Immediately after, under everyone's terrified gaze, that black, dense beast tide actually began to roll backward, clearing a large open space on the outskirts of the Black Mountain.

They prostrated on the ground, heads facing the same direction, welcoming their monarch.

"What happened?"

"Why did the Yao Beasts retreat?"

The surviving Cultivators looked at each other, their faces filled with the relief and bewilderment of having survived a disaster.

However, the expressions of high-level Foundation Establishment Stage experts like Commandery Lord Huangfu Hao and Patriarch Qin Hai were unprecedentedly grave.

They hovered in mid-air, staring fixedly in the direction of the Black Mountain.

The Demonic Qi there was gathering and climbing at a terrifying speed!

"Not good!" Commandery Lord Huangfu Hao exclaimed, "It's a Tier 3 Demon King!"

Before the words faded, the earth began to rumble violently.

On the outskirts of the Black Mountain, towering ancient trees were brutally knocked down and crushed.

A huge head slowly emerged from the mountain forest.

It was a hideous snake head, covered entirely in green-white scales, with two lantern-sized vertical pupils flashing with a cold, cruel light.

This head alone was larger than a house.

Then, its massive body, a hundred meters long, crushed the trees and slithered out from the shadows of the mountains, coiling in front of the beast tide.

Tier 3 Demon King — Green-Silk White-Ash Python!

A terrifying existence at the level of a Golden Core True Lord!

"Hiss..."

Across the entire battlefield, everyone gasped.

Every Cultivator, including Patriarch Qin Hai, had all the color drained from their faces.

Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators weren't even enough to fill its teeth!

"It's over..." Clan Leader Zhou and Clan Leader Zhu's legs went weak, and they almost fell from their Flying Swords.

A sense of despair spread rapidly through the crowd.

Commandery Lord Huangfu Hao held his long spear, his face livid. Although he was a Foundation Establishment Great Circle, he had no chance of winning against a true Golden Core level combatant.

In this deathly silence, the Green-Silk White-Ash Python moved.

It raised its huge snake head and let out another roar.

This time, it wasn't a deterrent.

It was the horn of attack!

"ROAR!"

"AWOO!"

The previously stalled beast tide launched another charge!

Unlike before, this time the beast tide was no longer a chaotic flood.

They were divided into dozens of square formations, led by large Tier 2 Yao Beasts, like a well-trained army, pressing down on the Huoyang Commandery's defense line in distinct layers!

Tier 2 Yao Beasts!

Equivalent to human Foundation Establishment Cultivators!

On the previous battlefield, Tier 2 Yao Beasts only appeared sporadically and were killed by Commandery Lord Huangfu Hao and the others working together.

But now, looking around, there were at least dozens of them!

"Kill the Tier 2 Yao Beasts first!" Commandery Lord Huangfu Hao roared with bloodshot eyes, straining his voice.

The battle erupted once again!

This time, it was ten times more tragic than before!

A Zhou Family Cultivator at the Qi Refining Great Perfection, being careless, was slapped into meat paste by a Tier 2 Earth-Splitting Bear.

Screams echoed one after another.

The addition of Tier 2 Yao Beasts was a massacre for the Qi Refinement Stage Cultivators.

The few Foundation Establishment Cultivators could only do their best to contain the Tier 2 Yao Beasts and kill as many as possible.

Jiang Feng's expression also darkened.

He punched a pouncing saber-toothed tiger away, but his eyes were locked on the Huangfu Sisters not far away.

Huangfu Yunni and Huangfu Yunshang were back-to-back, their red and white swords weaving into a dense sword net, barely resisting the attack of a Tier 2 Yao Wolf.

But their spiritual energy was exhausted, their faces pale, and their movements were starting to become sluggish.

"Sister, I can't hold on much longer!" Huangfu Yunshang panted, her hand holding the sword trembling slightly.

"Hold on!"

Huangfu Yunni gritted her teeth, forcing the Tier 2 Yao Wolf back with a sword strike, but a Tier 1 Yao Wolf seized this gap, its sharp claws tearing through the air and slashing fiercely at her shoulder!

"Careful!" Huangfu Yunshang exclaimed, wanting to rescue her but it was already too late.

Huangfu Yunni felt a chill in her heart, seeing the sharp claws already inches away.

At the most critical moment.

BANG!

A figure slammed in from the side, directly hitting the ambushing Tier 1 Yao Wolf, breaking its bones and sending it flying sideways.

Jiang Feng landed steadily in front of the sisters, looked back at the deep, bone-visible bloodstains on Huangfu Yunni's shoulder, and frowned.

He looked to the other side; Huangfu Yunshang's white dress was also stained red with blood.

Jiang Feng clicked his tongue, his tone full of displeasure.

"Tsk, injured like this, the quality is ruined." He shook his head in dissatisfaction.
