56: flaw

Gu Yuchuan’s three drops of Heavenly Profound Heavy Water were deployed with great precision. After all, he had honed his combat instincts for a long time and possessed a formidable ability to seize opportunities. These three drops were aimed at his brow, Dantian, and heart respectively. If they truly landed, even a Foundation Establishment Stage expert would be wounded.

However, no Cultivator who has reached the Foundation Establishment Stage is weak. He forcibly twisted his body, dodging two drops, but the third still struck his lower abdomen. The power of this single drop of Heavenly Profound Heavy Water was not to be underestimated; it actually pierced through his Physical Body, and blood immediately pooled on the ground.

White Crane Demon General would not let this opportunity slip by. He charged forward once more, appearing to merge with the sword light, transforming into a giant sword radiating white light. This was 'Man and Sword as One.' No one would have expected that White Crane Demon General, who didn't even have hands to hold a sword, would possess such high attainment in the Dao of the sword. This state of Man and Sword as One was something only a tiny fraction of geniuses in Sword Cultivator Schools could achieve.

Once Man and Sword as One is achieved, the person is the sword, and the sword is the person, allowing one to exert power where one plus one is greater than two. This single sword strike pierced through the Elder’s Physical Body. His body began to be eroded by mana, slowly sustaining damage as he stared at them with indignation.

"Prodigies! You act against the natural order by attacking my Sect. Your end will not be a good one either!"

White Crane Demon General said nothing. Most demons are not good at verbal sparring, but Gu Yuchuan was. He stepped forward and delivered a sharp slap with his tail.

"Human, it's fine to lie to us, but don't lie to yourself for so long that you believe it. Don't you know perfectly well why we are attacking the Beast Taming Sect? What, do your many tamed beasts truly admire your character and voluntarily accept your enslavement? Listen, this time, your Beast Taming Sect is doomed without a doubt."

Having said that, he bit down on the man's neck, his venom completely ending the man's life. The crisis on their end was temporarily resolved. Both Gu Yuchuan and White Crane Demon General sat on the ground, gasping for air. Although they had won, it was by no means an easy victory; they were both injured.

Gu Yuchuan was relatively fine. Having had the protection of the Golden Light Talismanic Incantation earlier, he had no severe injuries and would be fine after a period of careful healing. However, it was different for White Crane Demon General. He had first endured the self-detonation of the Foundation Establishment Stage crow and then fought the Beast Taming Sect Elder for so long. His injuries had even begun to shake his very foundation. If he did not recuperate properly for a time, he might never have another chance to advance in this lifetime.

However, this was, after all, no place for healing; they were still within the Formation. Fortunately, most people were fighting at the central formation eye, where the battle was now so fierce it seemed to darken the sky and dim the sun and moon. Many low-level Cultivators even died from the aftershocks of the combat. Even from a great distance, they could feel the intensity of the battle.

In truth, at the heart of the battle, many Cultivators had become blood-crazed. They all wanted to survive, whether they were Human Race Cultivators or Yao Race Cultivators. They all knew one thing: they could die on the battlefield, but they absolutely could not retreat.

This battle of the Hundred Beasts Formation was the first large-scale conflict in the war between the Human and Yao Races. Many great powers were watching from the shadows. Human Nascent Soul True Lords, the Yao Race's Demon Emperors, and even the high-and-mighty Soul Transformation Stage powerhouses were all paying attention to this battle. If you dared to run, your end would be ten thousand times more miserable than dying on this battlefield.

Thus, everyone was fighting for their lives. Among them, Great King Hui She demonstrated the power of his Earthly Fiend Dao Foundation. As a Cultivator at the First Layer of Foundation Establishment, he revealed his true form, stirring up towering waves. He fought two Fourth Layer of Foundation Establishment Cultivators single-handedly and even held the upper hand. His body grew massive, exceeding a hundred meters. This was his Earthly Fiend Divine Ability; the giant form granted his strength an endless enhancement.

Many other powerful Human and Yao Race Cultivators were also showcasing their Divine Ability Spells. In an instant, the Formation was already teetering. Hua Xiren held the Formation Plate in her hands, her mana constantly pouring into it. However, the formation eye and Formation Flags had already been suppressed. Relying solely on the Formation Plate in her hands, she truly couldn't activate much of the Formation's power. She grew somewhat flustered, and a layer of fine sweat had even broken out on her back.

Nonetheless, she had no other choice but to continue fighting.

An hour later, the Formation was completely breached. All the Yao Race Cultivators shouted in unison. Without the suppression of the Formation, their combat power was further enhanced. Conversely, for the Human Race's side, their doomsday had arrived.

Before long, all the Human Race Cultivators here had died. The Yao Race emerged as the victors of this battle for Coastal City. A soaring Aura could be felt manifesting within Coastal City as a Cultivator wearing a green Daoist robe stepped forward. The pressure emanating from him was like heavenly might. He was actually a Golden Core Expert.

However, if the Human Race had a Golden Core, the Yao Race also had a Demon King. Golden Roc Demon King flew out. He had the appearance of a young man, wearing a set of golden armor and holding a trident in his hand, looking like someone not to be trifled with.

"Sect Head of the Beast Taming Sect, what is this? Do you wish to have a decisive battle with this King now? Very well. Come, choose a place, and we shall determine both who is superior and who lives or dies."

The Beast Taming Sect Leader naturally did not want to fight such a battle. He knew very well that it would be difficult for him to defeat the Golden Roc Demon King. Looking down at the mess below, he said in a cold tone, "Well played, Cloud Sea Marsh. Well played, Yao Race. Just you wait. My Beast Taming Sect's strength may indeed be insufficient, but the great powers of my Human Race will not watch your Yao Race commit such atrocities. Just wait; once I have regrouped, you shall all die."

As soon as he finished speaking, Golden Roc Demon King's trident was already thrust into the ground in front of him, trampling his dignity into the mud.

"You humans are just like that—clearly defeated, yet still acting superior. In reality, your Beast Taming Sect is nothing but trash. If you're going to get lost, then get lost quickly; we are still waiting to move into Coastal City. If you don't leave, this King will take action."

The Sect Master said nothing more. His strength could not match the Golden Roc Demon King's, and staying to say anything else would only be a joke. Thus, he turned around and departed.

The moment he left, all the Yao Race Cultivators began to shout. They cheered incessantly. Although they had also lost some Cultivators this time, they were the victorious side. This victory also served as a good start to the war; they were bound to win this conflict.

"Everyone, begin entering the city. You are not allowed to slaughter Mortals, unless the Mortals strike first."
