102: Chapter 102 The Beast King Appears, and the Prodigies Are Surrounded

The core basin area of the Wanshou Mountain Range.

This was originally an open grassland, but at this moment, it was packed tightly by large numbers of red-eyed Yao Beasts. Flying in the sky, running on the ground, and climbing on the trees, there were at least over a hundred fierce Tier 1 and Tier 2 Yao Beasts forming a massive, impenetrable iron-barrel formation, roaring crazily toward the center.

At the very front of these Yao Beasts lay a terrifying giant wolf with a body nearly ten meters long, covered all over in heavy ice-blue fur and possessing three giant heads!

Tier 3 Early Stage mutated Yao Beast — Three-Headed Ice Soul Wolf King!

This was a genuine Spirit Pill Realm great demon! Its three heads could each spew out ice, violent winds, and toxic miasma. Its strength was so formidable that even the inner court affairs officers of our Qingxuan Sect who had reached the Spirit Pill Realm would have to walk around it if they encountered it, not daring to confront it head-on at all.

At this moment, right in the dead center of the Wolf King's encirclement, five or six young men and women were gathered back-to-back.

The leading youth was wearing a white moon-glowing robe trimmed with gold threads, holding a High Grade spirit sword flashing with dazzling golden light, and his expression was unsightly to the extreme.

He was none other than the chief Disciple of the Qingxuan Sect's Main Peak, and also the one who had consistently held the number one spot on the grand competition's points leaderboard — Chu Tianhe!

Apart from Chu Tianhe, the remaining few beside him were all top-tier Prodigies ranked at the front of various Peaks. However, right now, these usually arrogant Prodigies were all bruised and battered, their clothes torn to shreds, with despair written deep in their eyes.

"Dammit! Why did a Tier 3 mutated Wolf King suddenly run out in the outer periphery of the Wanshou Mountain Range?!" A female Disciple holding a long whip looked at the Three-Headed Ice Soul Wolf King eyeing them covetously not far away, her voice trembling. "We are surrounded by a beast tide, and the distress signal flare was just sent out, but it will take at least half an hour for the Sect Elders to rush over! We... we won't last until then!"

Chu Tianhe clenched his teeth tightly, the golden spirit sword in his hand trembling incessantly.

He was at the half-step Divine Soul Realm cultivation. If it were just a group of ordinary Tier 2 Yao Beasts, he could still fight with his life to carve out a bloody path. But facing that Three-Headed Ice Soul Wolf King radiating the immense coercion of the Spirit Pill Realm, he didn't even have the courage to make the first move!

Between the Spirit Pill Realm and the Pulse Condensation Realm lay an unbridgeable chasm!

"Roar—!!"

The Three-Headed Ice Soul Wolf King seemed to have lost its patience. Its largest head in the middle suddenly opened its blood-stained maw, letting out an extremely brutal roar.

Following this command, the hundreds of red-eyed Tier 2 Yao Beasts surrounding them rushed like a tide, frantically pouncing toward Chu Tianhe and the others trapped in the center!

"Fight it out with them!!" Chu Tianhe roared angrily, his sword turning into all-sky golden light as he chopped away the two ferocious wolves charging at the very front.

But the number of Yao Beasts was simply too great!

In less than three breaths of time, the defense line was completely breached. Two slightly weaker Prodigies from various Peaks were directly knocked to the ground by several Yao Beasts, their spirit swords bitten in half, and large mouthfuls of blood sprayed from their mouths, on the verge of being ripped to pieces extremely cruelly!

"It's over..." Chu Tianhe looked at a Peak Tier 2 leopard pouncing toward his throat, his heart turning icy cold as he slowly closed his eyes.

At this critical, life-or-death moment when everyone thought they were doomed!

"Boom—!!"

A huge noise like an air explosion came from high above the sky!

Immediately afterward, an extremely robust cyan figure, like a meteor artillery shell falling from high altitude, smashed heavily into the densest center of the beast tide from above the forest at an incredible speed, without any warning!

"Bang!!"

The earth shook violently!

A massive deep pit more than ten meters wide burst open on the muddy ground with a loud bang! That Tier 2 leopard that was about to bite Chu Tianhe's throat didn't even have time to scream before it was directly shattered mid-air by the violent shockwave descending from the sky, turning into a rain of blood!

The dozens of Yao Beasts surrounding the deep pit were all blown away in all directions like scarecrows caught in a gale, snapping countless large trees.

Chu Tianhe opened his eyes, staring dumbfounded at the scene.

Only to see amidst the lingering dust and blood mist, a youth wearing extremely ragged outer Sect linen green robes and empty-handed slowly stood up from the center of the large pit.

He twisted his neck, making a crisp cracking sound of bones, and then looked up at the Three-Headed Ice Soul Wolf King, which was full of vigilance with all its fur bristling.

"A Tier 3 Early Stage mutated Yao Beast... This monster core should be worth at least two thousand points, right?"

Looking at the massive Wolf King before him, Zhao Ruoan not only lacked any trace of fear in his eyes, but instead flashed an extremely excited green light. That gaze looked like a man starving for three days seeing a table full of a grand banquet.

"Hey, brothers over there, if you aren't dead yet, hurry up and back off. Don't hinder my hunting." Zhao Ruoan waved his hand at Chu Tianhe and the others without even turning his head.

Chu Tianhe and those few Prodigies who had narrowly escaped death looked at each other in dismay, their brains full of question marks.

Who was this person? Wearing ragged linen clothes, not even bringing a weapon, rushing into the beast tide alone, and immediately calling the Tier 3 Spirit Pill Realm mutated Wolf King his "prey"?! Was this guy out of his mind?!

"Junior Brother! Quickly fall back! That is a Tier 3 ice soul Wolf King, equivalent to a human Spirit Pill Realm expert! You must not act on impulse!" Although shocked, Chu Tianhe still shouted loudly, wanting this ignorant guy to run away quickly.

Zhao Ruoan simply ignored him.

He rolled up his sleeves, took a deep breath, and at this moment, the newly Breakthrough Pulse Condensation Realm Late Stage Qi inside his body, combined with the terrifying Physical Body strength brought by his Immortal-grade Ninth-rank talent, erupted explosively without reservation!

"Woo-roar—!!"

The Three-Headed Ice Soul Wolf King was completely infuriated by Zhao Ruoan's provocative gaze. Its left head suddenly opened, and a highly corrosive green toxic miasma as thick as a water vat, resembling a venomous dragon, sprayed straight toward Zhao Ruoan with an extremely piercing sound of breaking through the air!

"Watch out for that poison! Touching even a single drop will turn you into blood!" The female Disciple in the back screamed.

Facing the gushing venomous dragon, Zhao Ruoan couldn't even be bothered to dodge.

He stomped his right leg fiercely on the ground, smashing the rock beneath his feet into powder. Instead of retreating, his entire body advanced, heading straight into the all-sky green toxic miasma!
