79: Chapter 79 Slaying a Second-Order Monster

Half the time it takes to burn half an incense stick passed in a flash. Chen Changqing gave an instruction to the Chen Family members, and then headed to where the various Foundation Establishment Cultivators were located.

All the Cultivators looked vigilantly at the slowly opening gap. Over there, countless Yao Beasts had saliva dripping from their mouths, and their roars rose and fell in succession.

"Roar!"

Countless Yao Beasts roared and charged toward this gap together.

As the first Yao Beast entered, the remaining Yao Beasts closely followed behind, pouring in one after another.

Like the rest of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators, Chen Changqing merely looked indifferently at the scene before him and did not make a move. Most of these Yao Beasts were at the Tier 1 level, which was not their target, so they could be left to the Qi Refining Cultivators at the bottom to resolve.

Their gazes were mainly focused on the Tier 2 Monster Beasts in the rear.

Not far away, several Tier 2 Monster Beasts were staring intently this direction. Among them, the aura of one Tier 2 Monster Beast was extremely terrifying, and its cultivation probably had reached the standard of High Grade Tier 2.

Among the dozen or so Foundation Establishment Cultivators present, aside from Chen Changqing, only two other Foundation Establishment Cultivators had such strength.

As there became more and more Tier 1 Yao Beasts, the Qi Refining Cultivators at the bottom gradually found it somewhat difficult to resist, so Chen Changqing and these Foundation Establishment Cultivators casually killed some Tier 1 Yao Beasts along the way.

Outside the Formation, those Tier 2 Monster Beasts saw their subordinate tribes being slaughtered and also sped up their pace to charge forward.

"Roar!"

A Low Grade Tier 2 Qingluan entered from the Formation gap, flapping its wings, and instantly swept up several nearest Qi Refining Cultivators.

"Whoosh!"

That Qingluan locked onto a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, arrived by his side in an instant, and slapped him flying. Seeing himself slapped away in such a humiliating manner, that Foundation Establishment Cultivator was instantly enraged. He casually patted his Storage Pouch, summoned a Magical Artifact, and attacked that Qingluan.

The remaining Foundation Establishment Cultivators also joined in to surround and kill it. However, those Tier 2 Monster Beasts naturally would not give them the opportunity to encircle and kill the Qingluan. They quickly burst into the Formation gap and then locked onto their respective opponents to strike.

In an instant, the place descended into chaos, and countless Yao Beasts and Cultivators engaged in a chaotic melee.

Chen Changqing saw a Low Grade Tier 2 Brindled Leopard charging toward him. His gaze was calm, and the mother-and-child swords inside his Storage Pouch instantly burst forth, entangling with the Brindled Leopard.

None of the Foundation Establishment Cultivators here knew his true strength, so he did not plan to kill the Brindled Leopard in just a few moves right from the start. Otherwise, that High Grade Tier 2 Monster Beast would soon target him as well.

The situation at the other two battlefields was similar. As for those Purple Palace Cultivators, three of them each led over a dozen Foundation Establishment Cultivators and hundreds of Qi Refining Cultivators. Their main task was to maintain the operation of the Tier 4 Formation. Originally, for a Tier 4 Formation to fully function, it would take at least nearly ten Purple Palace Cultivators. However, there was no need to resist a Tier 4 Yao King here, so it was enough for this Formation to exert two or three tenths of its power.

There were also three Purple Palace Cultivators in hiding. Their purpose was primarily to deal with any Tier 3 Monster Beasts that might appear next. After all, the Yao Race side could not figure out how many Purple Palace Cultivators Qinghe County had either.

As for Taihe Market, although the situation there was not optimistic, it would be no problem to hold out for another month or two, even though as many as six Yao Kings had already appeared. One of those Yao Kings was actually of the Human Race; it was said that this person, in order to self-preserve on the Dynasty battlefield, defected to the Yao Race by sacrificing the Cultivators of an entire city.

Inside the Formation, the five Golden Core Masters looked at the six Yao Kings outside the Formation with very solemn expressions. The strength of the four of them was completely incomparable to the opponents; had they not set up the Tier 4 Formation in advance, they would have long been killed one by one.

Especially the leading Azure Wolf Demon King, whose strength was terrifying to the extreme. Solely in terms of strength, I am afraid no one in the entire Great Yan Country could be found to rival it.

Perhaps only the old Palace Master of Biluo Palace had hopes of being mentioned in the same breath.

"Do you humans all like to act like turtles hiding their heads so much?" a Tier 4 Azure Wolf Demon King sneered.

The several Yao Kings beside it also began to mock them together. Only that Azure Wolf Demon King, which had been closing its eyes and resting its mind all along, sat upright in mid-air, paying no attention to the surrounding situation.

The various Cultivators inside the Formation were somewhat annoyed, but the several Golden Core Masters maintained calm expressions. How could they not understand that these Yao Races were trying to provoke them?

"Hehe! Let Lord Cang Ao teach you people of the Human Race how to do things." The Yao King that had mocked them from the very beginning laughed. It reached the front of the Formation in a few steps, let out an angry roar, and countless spiritual powers gathered around it. Then, a khaki-colored light spewed out from its mouth, and a thick beam of light instantly struck the Formation wall, causing even the entire Formation to fluctuate.

However, it was a Tier 4 Formation after all, and a Low Grade Tier 4 Yao King alone could not break through it. Of course, besides the leading Yao King, the other Yao Kings also made their moves one after another. Several khaki-colored lights suddenly appeared, all attacking the Tier 4 Formation. As for that Human Race Yao King, with a flick of his hand, a Magic Treasure flew out from his cuff. Everyone looked over and saw that it was a giant blue tripod, and then countless water Spiritual Qi poured down torrentially from the tripod.

Under the full-force strike from the five Yao Kings, even the Tier 4 Formation was somewhat tottering at this moment, already on the verge of shattering.

However, the five Golden Core Masters naturally would not sit back and await death. They successively injected the magic power within their bodies into the Formation Plate, which finally stabilized the Formation that had been on the verge of shattering.

They engaged in fierce battle like this for several days. The rest depended on their subordinate Cultivators and Yao Beasts to see who would determine the victor and loser sooner.

...

Turning back to Chen Changqing's side, he engaged in a fierce battle with that Brindled Leopard for a dozen quarters of an hour before finally cutting off its head. After he finished, he released his Divine Sense to observe his surroundings. Some Foundation Establishment Cultivators had resolved their opponents even earlier than him, while some Foundation Establishment Cultivators had already been dealt with.

He withdrew his Divine Sense, rendezvoused with the nearest Foundation Establishment Cultivators, and joined forces to encircle and kill the remaining Tier 2 Monster Beasts.

After about several hours, except for that High Grade Tier 2 Monster Beast, the remaining Yao Beasts inside the Formation had all been resolved. The casualties of the Human Race were not very large, with only nearly a hundred Qi Refining Cultivators and two Foundation Establishment Cultivators dead. However, the casualties of the Yao Race were heavy: nearly ten Tier 2 Monster Beasts died, and hundreds of Tier 1 Yao Beasts died, resolving nearly one-tenth of the beast tide.

As for the remaining High Grade Tier 2 Monster Beast, fear flashed through its eyes for the first time. It originally thought that these humans were all very weak, but in the end, it still miscalculated.

Under the joint siege of all the Foundation Establishment Cultivators, it only lasted for a few rounds before being slain.

Chen Changqing and the others breathed a sigh of relief, not expecting this Yao Beast to be so tricky to deal with. Previously, two Late Stage Foundation Establishment Cultivators had engaged in a fierce battle for a long time without determining a winner, yet when they joined forces together, it was actually able to hold its ground in their hands for such a short while.
