147: Chapter 147 My Master is such a tsundere!

Chen Yan secretly guessed that the madwoman Lin Qinger still retained her own consciousness.

However, he had no evidence at the moment, and it wouldn't be appropriate to ask her directly.

Yet, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he didn't know how she had become like this.

As long as she hadn't completely turned into a monster that only knew how to slaughter, it was ultimately a good thing.

Just at the moment Chen Yan was distracted, the massive horde of Yao Beasts bore down on them!

Although the wall of fire created by the Ten Thousand Spirit Absolute Flame was incredibly domineering, these Yao Beasts were endless.

Under their suicidal charges, the defensive line began to crumble!

These Golden Core Stage Yao Beasts manifested their true forms, their bodies dozens of zhang tall, directly pushing through the wall of fire and charging toward the city wall!

"Roar!"

A demonic ape covered in bone-white armor, standing over twenty zhang tall, was like a moving mountain.

It paid no heed to the erosion of the Ten Thousand Spirit Absolute Flame, pounding its chest with both arms and letting out a sky-shaking roar.

Then, it lunged forward, actually using its Physical Body to smash an opening through the wall of fire!

Roar~

As the wall of fire was breached, countless Yao Beasts instantly swarmed in through the opening!

The nearby Prodigy Cultivators' expressions changed drastically, and they hurriedly brought out their Magic Treasures and Divine Abilities, unleashing a barrage of attacks on the Yao Beasts!

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Dense sounds of explosions rang out continuously!

Severed limbs and remains of Yao Beasts were splattered everywhere!

But there were simply too many Yao Beasts!

And there were far too few people!

They covered the left, but missed the right!

They killed those in front, but lost ground behind!

Several Shadow Wolves vanished into the Void Realm and slammed into two Prodigies!

Those two were sent flying backward from the impact!

While still in mid-air, they spat out a mouthful of blood, their bodies like kites with cut strings, crashing heavily onto the city wall; it was unclear whether they were dead or alive.

"You vile beast! Don't get too arrogant!"

Zhang Yun's eyes widened in rage, and he roared, instantly transforming into a three-zhang-tall Vajra. His greatsword, carrying the Aura of a mountain-cleaving strike, slashed viciously at a demonic ape's head.

The demonic ape's eyes were filled with deathly stillness, completely devoid of fear!

It didn't dodge or evade, instead raising its bone-armored right arm to take Zhang Yun's greatsword head-on!

"Boom!"

With a thunderous boom, a terrifying shockwave of spiritual power rippled outward.

Zhang Yun was forced back repeatedly, his face full of surprise!

Yet the demonic ape was cleaved in two, head and body, by Zhang Yun's sword!

"Everyone, be careful! After these Yao Beasts are demonized, their Physical Bodies are incredibly strong!"

Zhang Yun roared to remind everyone.

Yao Beasts were already known for their formidable Physical Bodies, and now that they were demonized, their Physical Body Rank had increased even further!

Even if their Realm was only at the Golden Core Stage, they were enough to contend with an ordinary Nascent Soul Cultivator!

Everyone's expressions instantly tightened, and they became even more vigilant!

Chen Yan stood in mid-air, overlooking the entire battlefield, controlling the Ten Thousand Spirit Absolute Flame to plug the gaps!

But as more and more Yao Beasts broke through the fire defense line, even though he had focused all his mental energy on controlling the Ten Thousand Spirit Absolute Flame, it was of no use!

"Swish, swish, swish!"

In the Void Realm, countless shadows flickered.

Shadow Beasts, Shadow Wolves, and other Yao Beasts with stealth and ambush abilities all set their sights on Chen Yan!

In their eyes, this human who was only at the Golden Core Stage was the greatest obstacle to their advance!

"Roar!"

As the Yao Beasts roared in unison!

The sky-filling Devilish Qi shot toward Chen Yan!

Locking down all the space around him, leaving him with nowhere to hide!

"Junior Brother Chen!"

Zhang Yun shouted angrily, his greatsword flying from his hand as he tried to support Chen Yan!

Bai Zhi gritted her teeth, rapidly forming hand seals. The Star-Wave Sword Array behind her instantly transformed into a barrier, blocking the path in front of Chen Yan!

Although Qian Duoduo didn't believe Chen Yan would get hurt, he still subconsciously threw out several Talismans!

Propelled by Sword Qi, they formed a Talisman array around Chen Yan!

"Hehe... You guys..."

Chen Yan chuckled, a flash of emotion in his eyes.

This is what Sect camaraderie is all about~

Taiqing Sword Sect, this is what a righteous Sect should look like~

If it were that bunch of jerks from the Fifth Peak, they would probably have run faster than anyone else!

With a smile on his lips, he helplessly mocked in his heart: "But, you guys haven't forgotten my true strength, have you?"

"I wanted to take this opportunity to get slightly injured and go 'ying ying ying' to my Revered Master~"

"You guys doing this really puts me in a difficult spot!"

Leng Qingshuang rolled her eyes silently and retracted the Wind Spirit Intent Domain she had already deployed.

Chen Yan watched the countless Yao Beasts pouncing toward him, chuckled, and raised his hand to throw out several white Medicinal Pills.

Seeing this, Qian Duoduo's expression changed. He subconsciously turned around and closed his eyes, shouting a curse:

"Damn you, Chen Yan! Would it kill you to give a heads-up!"

He shouted to everyone: "Everyone, close your eyes! Don't look!"

Zhang Yun and Bai Zhi didn't doubt him and cooperated by closing their eyes!

While the others were still confused, the world went 'whoosh'.

Turning into pure white!

Flash Pill!

Reappearing in the Jianghu!

"Roar!!!"

Even the demonized Yao Beasts, struck by the intense, brilliant light, instantly became like headless flies, fleeing in panic!

Their vision was completely white, and they subconsciously attacked everything around them!

Zhang Yun and the others hurriedly disengaged from the battlefield, watching as the Yao Beasts slaughtered each other. In the blink of an eye, more than half were dead or injured!

Qian Duoduo: "..."

Damn! You old sixth!

You had this good stuff and didn't bring it out earlier!

Making us worry about you so much!

Zhang Yun and Bai Zhi looked at Chen Yan's innocent face, their lips twitching wildly.

They secretly thought to themselves: "So cheap..."

Time passed second by second.

In the Secret Realm, night gradually fell.

Under the control of Chen Yan's Ten Thousand Spirit Absolute Flame, acting as a super 'incinerator,' and with the frantic output from Leng Qingshuang, Zhang Yun, Bai Zhi, and the other Prodigy Disciples.

This second wave of the Golden Core Stage Yao Beast horde was finally completely annihilated!

Lin Qinger had already retreated to the front of the Demon Race army back when Chen Yan threw the Flash Pill and she was dazzled by the light!

She hovered quietly in mid-air, like a lifeless black sculpture, as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with her.

The surviving Cultivators slumped on the city wall, covered in blood, panting heavily.

Everyone's face was written with exhaustion and the relief of surviving a disaster.

The walls of the Demon Suppressing City were covered in bloodstains!

A nauseating, bloody stench filled the air!

The surviving Prodigies were all injured, their faces pale.

Some sat cross-legged, stuffing Medicinal Pills into their mouths, silently healing their wounds.

Others stared blankly into the distance at the endless Demon Race army, their eyes full of fear and despair.

Some were counting the casualties, the atmosphere extremely heavy!

Out of the five hundred Prodigies, only a little over four hundred had survived!

In just one day, casualties had already reached nearly twenty percent!

And this was only the first day!

The requirement for the trial was for them to hold out for three days!

Thinking about the two even more cruel days of battle ahead, a sense of powerlessness instantly enveloped everyone.

Just as everyone was resting.

Bai Zhi hesitated for a long time, biting her lip, before finally taking a deep breath and walking over to Chen Yan.

Her expression was complicated, containing both the arrogance of a Prodigy and a hint of awkwardness she hadn't even noticed herself.

After all, she had previously looked down on Chen Yan in every way, only to have her face slapped hard by his strength in the blink of an eye.

"Your strength... is very strong..."

She held it in for a long time before squeezing out this dry sentence.

She wanted to use this opportunity to re-establish a relationship with Chen Yan and take another look at this "Dao Companion" her grandfather had praised and forced upon her.

If she had known Chen Yan had this strength earlier, the matter of being "Dao Companions" wouldn't have been impossible~

But just as she finished speaking.

An icy gaze, sharp as a knife, landed on her.

Bai Zhi was startled, subconsciously looking in the direction she felt the gaze from.

She saw that not far away, Leng Qingshuang, who had been silently sitting cross-legged and regulating her breathing, had opened her eyes at some unknown time.

Those cold phoenix eyes were narrowed slightly, looking at her without any attempt to hide it.

There was no killing intent in her eyes, but they carried a warning...

A warning for her... not to get close to Chen Yan?

Chen Yan naturally also caught the change in his Revered Master's eyes. He pressed his lips together tightly, not letting himself laugh out loud.

But in his heart, he was instantly overjoyed.

"Holy crap! Holy crap! A classic Shuraba!!!"

"Revered Master's little 'protecting-her-food' look, tsk tsk tsk, this is clearly her getting jealous again!"

"Hahaha! My Revered Master is such a tsundere!"

"She clearly loves me to death, yet she still pretends not to care about anything~"

"Naughty~~"
