18: Chapter 18: One man fights against a group of monsters alone!
Sand and stones flew through the mountain forest, and thick smoke billowed from the trees, as if something was rapidly approaching Jiang Xuan's direction. Listening closely, the roars of Yao Beasts rose and fell.
In the distance, several Yao Beast hunting teams were ambushed in hidden spots, preparing to hunt a Qi Sea Realm Yao Beast. Who would have thought that before they even made a move, the Yao Beast would run wildly in one direction as if it had gone mad.
"What exactly is going on? Why did the Yao Beast suddenly go crazy?"
"It seems like it's not just us here. Listen, it sounds like the same thing is happening in other places too."
"What is in that direction? Could it be that some Heaven And Earth Treasure has appeared?"
"Don't worry about it so much. Let's go, let's go take a look first." After communicating, the few people also rushed in the direction the Yao Beast was running.
For a time, a large number of Yao Beasts and members of the Human Race all rushed towards Jiang Xuan's location.
At the same time, deeper in the mountain range, in a desolate area, by a secluded pool, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl was collecting some water droplets in a bottle under the waterfall by the pool.
The girl's skin was as smooth as snow, her two delicate eyebrows were like ink, and her long, straight eyelashes fluttered with her bright, clear, lively eyes, making her incredibly adorable.
Under the setting sun's glow, the fine fuzz on her cheeks created a hazy halo as she turned her head.
Beside her, an old woman, Grandma Hua, smiled as she watched the girl, her eyes filled with loving care and concern. At the same time, she did not forget to observe her surroundings.
"Grandma Hua, look, this is the Azure Dew I collected. If I use this as a birthday gift for Mother, she will definitely be happy." The girl's bell-like voice rang out. She shook the porcelain bottle in her hand with delight and then carefully put it into her Storage Ring.
Grandma Hua was about to speak with a smile, when suddenly, a huge commotion from the periphery changed her expression.
She quickly said in a low voice, "Princess, this place is not safe. We must leave quickly."
The girl also heard the commotion outside, her face full of curiosity. "It seems like something is happening outside, Grandma Hua. Let's go out and take a look."
"This, Princess, we should leave quickly. You are of noble birth. If anything were to happen, how could this old woman explain it to the King...?" Grandma Hua advised, still worried.
"Oh, it'll be fine. We're just going to take a look."
"Then... alright, Princess, remember to stay close behind me and never run off."
"Mm-hmm, I definitely won't run off." The girl nodded in agreement like a chick pecking at rice.
On the other side, Jiang Xuan looked at the Yao Beasts rushing towards him, his eyes gleaming. The items exchanged from the System were truly powerful. The attraction of this Beast Lure Pill to Yao Beasts was surprisingly strong.
To save time, Jiang Xuan released all the blood from the few people and then threw the Beast Lure Pill into the blood.
The immense smell of blood, combined with the Beast Lure Pill, attracted the Yao Beasts here, so he wouldn't have to search everywhere for fire-attribute Fourth-Order Yao Beasts. (Corresponding to the Qi Sea Realm)
Moreover, he could also make a huge profit. Who knows how many Heaven And Earth Treasures these many Yao Beasts could be exchanged for.
Looking at the increasing number of Yao Beasts arriving, a glance revealed almost several thousand of them. "Hehe, have all the nearby Yao Beasts come over? There are dozens of Fourth-Order ones, and the rest are all below Fourth-Order."
Jiang Xuan stretched his muscles and bones. "That's enough. Delays can lead to trouble." He then retracted the Beast Lure Pill, holding it in his hand.
The Yao Beasts that arrived at this place were extremely agitated by the strong smell of blood on the ground.
"Tsk tsk, Three-tailed Poison Jiao, Crescent Moon Demonic Wolf, Black Armor Thunder Rhino... So many Fourth-Order Yao Beasts, and that's the Blazing Tiger, fire attribute, all complete, hahaha..." Jiang Xuan looked at the snarling Yao Beasts, laughing excitedly.
The Loose Cultivators, Yao Beast hunting teams, and others who followed were all greatly astonished by the scene before them.
"Is that kid crazy? Standing alone in front of so many Fourth-Order Yao Beasts, he's asking for death."
"Shh, don't make a sound. Haven't you noticed something isn't right?"
"Not right?" Hearing his companion's words, the man looked more carefully.
"Are you saying that the Yao Beasts stopped running after they reached the young man?" Then, he said in disbelief, "Were all those Yao Beasts intentionally lured over by that person?"
"Yes, otherwise, how do you explain it?"
"That young man used some method to lure the Yao Beasts here, but we still don't know his purpose for doing so. Let's observe first."
In mid-air, the old woman and the girl also watched all this. The girl's gaze was fixed on the handsome young man in front of the Yao Beasts, her eyes full of curiosity.
Suddenly, those Fourth-Order Yao Beasts seemed to lose patience, staring at the Medicinal Pill in Jiang Xuan's hand, drooling all over the ground. The Crescent Moon Demonic Wolf was the first to let out a roar.
"OwWoo..." The low-level Demonic Wolves behind it received some command and collectively howled, then charged towards Jiang Xuan.
The Three-tailed Poison Jiao lashed its tail at Jiang Xuan, while the Black Armor Thunder Rhino, glowing with lightning, swooped down. The Blazing Tiger... "Hehe, good timing." Jiang Xuan licked his lips, extremely excited. He retracted the Beast Lure Pill and then stomped his foot, his cultivation at Qi Sea Realm Perfection erupting. He formed a hand seal again.
Those around, seeing this posture, immediately understood and were shocked. The person from the earlier team stammered, "He... he lured the Yao Beasts here, just... just to kill them all by himself?"
His companion was also incredibly shocked at this moment, swallowing hard. "Let's... let's observe first."
The girl was also startled by the young man's audacity. "Grandma Hua, will he win?"
Grandma Hua frowned. "The chances of winning are not great. At the same Realm, the Human Race is already at a disadvantage against Yao Beasts, let alone dozens of Fourth-Order Yao Beasts. It's difficult."
"Is that so?" The girl turned to look at that handsome and calm face. She didn't know why, but she just felt that the young man would win.
"Swish swish swish..." As Jiang Xuan formed a hand seal, several treasured swords, enveloped in lightning, reappeared in front of him. However, this time, it wasn't just one, but seven. The Seven Swords merged into one, the strongest form of the Wind Thunder Sword Art! It could kill Fifth-Order Yao Beasts!
"Merge!" With a loud shout from Jiang Xuan, the seven swords instantly merged, forming a giant treasured sword covered in thunder patterns and radiating lightning.
"Slash!" Under the enhancement of Jiang Xuan's extreme cultivation, the gigantic thunder sword, carrying an overwhelming might, slashed down towards the Yao Beast horde. Wherever the sword's edge passed, a faint blue lightning afterglow spread, forming waves of blue Qi that lingered in the air.
The Yao Beasts seemed to sense the threat of death, roaring and desperately turning back to flee.
"Not good," the crowd hiding behind quickly scattered to both sides. If that rushed over, they would lose several lives.
"Boom!!!" As the sword light fell, a huge cloud of smoke instantly rose from the ground. Terrifying energy dissipated to both sides, and the trees in its path instantly fell.
The old woman in the air waved her hand, and a circle of light formed around them, enveloping both of them.
After a long while, when the smoke dissipated, the disheveled people looked at the scene before them, utterly silent.
