246: Battle Monster Boss

“Attention, everyone!”

Shen Xi whispered.

No one dared to be negligent; from the sound of the footsteps, it was clear that Chu He had attracted many Yao Beasts this time.

As expected.

Soon, over two hundred Yao Beasts followed behind Chu He, rushing towards Shen Xi's group.

These Yao Beasts all had anger on their faces. It was clear that the continuous hunting of their companions by Shen Xi and his group over this period had ignited the Yao Beasts' fury.

Furthermore, these Yao Beasts were inherently bloodthirsty, having hunted humans for sustenance since their ancestors' time. Never had they been provoked like this by humans, so their killing intent naturally boiled over.

“Attack!”

With Shen Xi's command, he charged into the Yao Beast pack like a sharp Divine Sword.

The Qingying Sword danced up and down in his hand, like a nimble butterfly, cutting down several Yao Beasts as easily as slicing melons and vegetables.

On the other side, Liu Yiyi and the others were equally unwilling to show weakness.

They immediately used their killing moves.

Their previous tempering had made them resolute, and they killed Yao Beasts with increasing decisiveness.

One after another, Yao Beasts fell to the ground. In just a few breaths, over twenty Yao Beasts had died.

Of course, these Yao Beasts were all only in the Acquired Realm.

Those in the Xiantian Realm were not so easily dealt with.

But from a visual perspective, this scene was still astonishing enough.

Eight people, facing over two hundred Yao Beasts, moved as if in an uninhabited land, killing without the slightest hesitation.

“Stop these damned humans!”

At this moment, a Yao Beast in the Innate Transformation of Strength Realm roared.

It was the leader of these Yao Beasts, with extraordinary combat power, arguably second only to the Demon Beast Leaders.

Now, watching its subordinates being killed one by one, it was instantly enraged, its teeth itching with hatred.

Hearing the command, the Yao Beasts immediately split into eight small teams, each engaging Shen Xi and his group.

The Yao Beast leader, moreover, targeted Shen Xi.

It knew that this young man was the strongest among them.

And as the Yao Beasts attacked in waves and teams, the offensive of Shen Xi and his group was clearly affected to some extent.

They had to face the attacks of dozens of Yao Beasts simultaneously, and even with Shen Xi's combat power, it was impossible to easily break free.

This was the advantage of sheer numbers.

So many Yao Beasts attacking at the same time; one could block one or two, but not dozens.

Only by fully focusing on defense could they manage.

But once they defended, they naturally couldn't spare the energy to attack.

Then, they would be entangled.

Of course, to break the deadlock, one could fight desperately.

Ignoring the attacks of other Yao Beasts, one could focus on a single target and launch a fierce assault.

But doing so was extremely dangerous.

If one abandoned defense, the attacks of the other Yao Beasts would all fall upon them.

Who could guarantee that they could withstand so many attacks?

A slight misstep could lead to being completely overwhelmed and dying without a burial place.

For this very reason, Shen Xi and his group did not choose such an extreme method.

They used the 'boiling a frog slowly' approach, seizing opportunities to strike.

These Yao Beasts could not be a perfectly unified entity.

Even when they encircled, weaknesses would appear.

What Shen Xi and his group had to do was to counterattack fiercely when a weakness appeared, kill one or two Yao Beasts, and then resume defense. By repeating this cycle, they would eventually be able to completely annihilate these Yao Beasts.

This was the most stable and safest method.

And that was exactly how it played out.

As time passed, the Yao Beasts continued to fall, one by one.

It was just that the speed was not as fast as before.

But visibly, the number of Yao Beasts was decreasing.

Especially on Shen Xi's side, as the strongest combatant, even when facing the largest encirclement of Yao Beasts, he remained incredibly dazzling, continuously killing over a dozen Yao Beasts.

“Damn it, you're too arrogant.”

The Yao Beast leader could no longer sit still.

It had initially maintained its composure, directing the Yao Beasts to attack Shen Xi and his group in an orderly manner.

But now, seeing Shen Xi's continuous display of power, it naturally couldn't stand by and do nothing.

With that, the Yao Beast leader directly charged in front of Shen Xi.

Bang!

The sound of fists meeting flesh rang out.

The Yao Beast leader's combat power was not inferior to Shen Xi's.

Their clash resulted in an even match.

“You're actually this strong!”

The Yao Beast leader said, utterly shocked.

It was in the Innate Transformation of Strength Realm, and due to being a Yao Beast, both its Physical Body strength and its true combat power inherently gave it an advantage over humans.

Most importantly, Shen Xi was only at the Greater Completion of the Acquired Realm!

In this situation, it should have been able to suppress Shen Xi.

But unexpectedly, it didn't gain the slightest upper hand.

“That's because you're too weak!”

Shen Xi was already red-eyed from the killing, his blood boiling from the fight.

As he spoke, he brandished the Qingying Sword.

One Sword Sweeps the Nine Provinces was unleashed!

“Nonsense! Mere humans are nothing but blood food for our ancestors, yet you dare to boast so shamelessly!”

The Yao Beast leader roared in exasperation.

Not being able to suppress Shen Xi already made it unhappy.

Now being looked down upon, its killing intent boiled even more fiercely.

Facing One Sword Sweeps the Nine Provinces, the Yao Beast leader also used its racial Divine Ability—Furious Thunder Roar!

The Yao Beast leader let out an enraged roar towards the sky.

A Yao Beast formed of lightning, identical to it, then appeared.

With an unstoppable momentum, it bit towards Shen Xi.

“Rumble!”

For a moment, thunder roared.

Furious Thunder Roar was like true lightning, flashing and thundering as it met One Sword Sweeps the Nine Provinces.

The power of each lightning bolt was enough to easily obliterate an Acquired Realm expert.

But at this moment, they were all met by One Sword Sweeps the Nine Provinces, dissolving into nothingness.

Of course, One Sword Sweeps the Nine Provinces also dissipated.

In this exchange, both remained evenly matched; neither could do anything to the other.

“Is that all you've got?”

Shen Xi raised an eyebrow, provoking it again.

He had no mercy for these Yao Beasts, nor did he need to be polite.

These were the most bloodthirsty and cruel of the Yao Beast races, naturally preying on humans.

If they hadn't been sealed here, any one of them released would destroy a town, and countless families would be ruined.

Being merciful to them meant being cruel to humanity.

“Far from it!”

The Yao Beast leader roared.

The patterns on its body began to glow.

The next second, these patterns were directly reflected in the sky.

Then, a terrifying pressure appeared out of nowhere.

“It's here! It's here! This is the Adult's racial Divine Ability; it can summon a portion of its ancestors' power through the patterns on its body!”

“Furthermore, the higher the Realm, the more astonishing the summoned power!”

“With the Adult's strength, the power it summons might be Half-Step Dianling Realm, or even have reached the Dian Ling Realm!”

“Hmph! This Human Race brat is dead for sure!”
