244: A chaotic battle ensued, with everyone displaying their unique abilities!

"Roar!"

Seeing Su Ling take the initiative to meet it, the Peak Fifth-Rank Mountain-Splitting Tiger's amber beast pupils burst with a fierce light, and its thick tiger claws slammed into the ground.

In an instant, several fissures about a zhang wide spread from beneath its feet, with crushed stones accompanied by a wave of earthy-yellow demonic power, heading straight for Su Ling's face.

This Mountain-Splitting Tiger excelled in Physical Body strength and earth-system magic; its first move displayed the overbearing Aura of the Peak Fifth-Rank.

Furthermore, this place had been restricted by the Air Banning Formation, making it extremely difficult to fly up.

This invisibly restricted Su Ling's movement.

On the other hand, the native creature, the Mountain-Splitting Tiger, was already accustomed to fighting on the ground, making its earth-system magic even more powerful.

Su Ling advanced instead of retreating, the azure dragon phantasm around him becoming more solid, with lightning crackling on its scales.

He formed a hand seal with his left hand, the Vermillion Jade Ruler spun in the air, and the Southern Bright Fire Phoenix spread its wings again, the scorching Li Fire turning into several fire whips that lashed fiercely at the fissures.

With a loud "boom," the flames collided with the earth waves, and the rising dust filled the air, blurring the vision.

Taking advantage of this gap, Su Ling's figure flashed, and he was already in front of the Mountain-Splitting Tiger.

Circulating his Nine Nether Mana to the extreme, his palms were surrounded by dense Nether Cold Qi as he slammed them toward the tiger's head.

The Mountain-Splitting Tiger reacted extremely quickly, tilting its head; its thick tiger back took the blow head-on. A layer of white frost instantly formed on its fur, but it only left a shallow palm print.

"Physical Body strength comparable to a low-grade spirit tool?"

Su Ling's heart stirred slightly as his footwork changed, turning into an afterimage to circle around the Mountain-Splitting Tiger.

The Mountain-Splitting Tiger roared repeatedly, with its claws sweeping and tail whipping; every attack brought a whistling gale, and any surrounding rubble hit by it was instantly turned into powder.

But Su Ling's movement technique was extremely agile, sometimes transforming into an Azure Dragon to weave through, and sometimes using the Shadow Evasion Art for short-distance teleportation, never clashing head-on with the Mountain-Splitting Tiger.

At the same time, the other battlefields were also filled with thunderous battle cries.

Gentle's figure flickered through the battlefield like a ghost, her Nightmare Sect's Phantom Demonic Technique pushed to the limit. A faint black Qi surrounded her, and every wave of her hand carried an invisible power that tore at the Divine Soul.

That Peak Fifth-Rank Orc Leader held a massive stone axe, its blade carved with savage runes; every chop contained power capable of destroying heaven and earth.

However, Gentle's attacks specifically targeted vital points, using her Moon Blade Magic Treasure to precisely pierce the Orc Leader's eyes, throat, and other weak spots, forcing the Orc Leader to roar in anger repeatedly, yet he was never able to touch even a corner of Gentle's clothes.

The Spirit Transformation Cultivator from the Wuji Sect was in a fierce battle with a Peak Fifth-Rank Rock-Armored Beast.

Dressed in heavy armor and holding a Fangtian Painted Halberd, with the Wuji Sect's Body Refining Cultivation Technique, the Vajra Demon-Subduing Technique, in operation, his Physical Body strength surged, and every swing of the halberd carried the weight of a thousand jun.

The Rock-Armored Beast's shell was incredibly hard, and ordinary attacks couldn't harm it at all. However, the Wuji Sect Cultivator's Fangtian Painted Halberd could leave deep scratches on its shell with its overbearing power.

The Spirit Transformation Cultivator from the Yangquan Sect performed Yang-attribute Spells, fighting against a Peak Fifth-Rank, White Wolf-like wind-attribute Demonic Beast.

As his hand seals changed, waves of fire surged up, turning into fire dragons that lunged straight at the White Wolf.

The White Wolf was extremely fast, whipping up a storm to counterattack the Yangquan Sect Cultivator as it moved.

The last one was a Late Stage Soul Transformation from a Loose Cultivator background, performing wood-attribute Spells to manifest sharp wooden spikes, attacking the final Green-Skinned Beastman.

The Green-Skinned Beastman's Aura was the lowest among the five Peak Fifth-Rank opponents.

But the Bone Saber in its hand was exceptionally sharp and swung so tightly that no matter how the Loose Cultivator Soul Transformation attacked, it was difficult to cause any harm for a time.

The two sides traded blows, and for a moment, it was hard to tell who had the upper hand.

Lu Tao coordinated with Tian Yu, boldly facing three Late Stage Fifth-Rank Demonic Beasts.

Tian Yu was skilled in water-attribute Spells, wielding a Wave-Breaking Spear with ease, as several water spears constantly harassed two of the Demonic Beasts.

Taking advantage of this gap, Lu Tao boldly activated the Great White Void-Breaking Sword Art. The swimming dragon sword, which had reached the level of a low-grade spirit tool, let out bursts of shrill whistles as it frantically attacked that Sharp-Horned Beast.

Not only that, but Lu Tao also protected his whole body with the Ten-Thousand Pattern Golden Light Shield, charging fearlessly in front of the Sharp-Horned Beast.

He aimed to kill it as quickly as possible!

As for the other Fifth-Rank Demonic Beasts or beastmen, they led the beast hordes to fight against the War Slaves brought by Su Ling and the others.

The Haoyang Soul Transformation, Zhou Muyuan, fought with all his might with the assistance of other Nascent Soul Cultivators.

Fortunately, Su Ling's Yin Soul Army harassed the battlefield. Those few Fifth-Rank Demonic Beasts didn't dare to go too deep due to the binding effect of the Soul-Binding Silk.

Otherwise, the battle would have been completely one-sided.

Just then, a strange chanting sound suddenly came from outside the Formation.

The chanting was obscure and difficult to understand, yet it carried a powerful magic that caused all the Cultivators present to feel a pang of heart palpitations.

"Not good, it's a Savage Shaman's Spell!"

Gentle's expression changed, and she hurriedly warned.

As soon as she finished speaking, a large amount of blood-colored mist suddenly emerged on the battlefield.

Within the mist, countless Vengeful Spirits roared and struggled.

These Vengeful Spirits weren't strong, but they were numerous.

What was even stranger was that these Vengeful Spirits did not attack the nearby War Slaves or Demonic Beasts.

Instead, like the blood-colored mist, they flooded into the bodies of those beastmen and Demonic Beasts.

More terrifyingly, the five Peak Fifth-Rank Auras suddenly surged, and their Aura even showed signs of a Breakthrough to the Sixth-Rank.

"It's an Augmentation Spell!"

Su Ling's eyes narrowed, and he thought to himself that things were looking bad.

Feeling the Savage Shaman's augmentation, the Mountain-Splitting Tiger became even more frenzied.

It let out a roar toward the sky, and the earthy-yellow demonic power around its body condensed into a massive earth-attribute battle-axe, which it swung fiercely at Su Ling.

This axe contained all of the Mountain-Splitting Tiger's power, and with the Savage Shaman's augmentation, its power was boundless.

Su Ling did not dare to be careless. The azure dragon phantasm and the Southern Bright Fire Phoenix around him erupted simultaneously, with thunder and Li Fire intertwining to form a massive protective shield.

The mysterious heaven evil-cleansing bell within his body also emerged.

"Clang!"

A profound bell toll echoed across the wilderness. Wherever the sound waves passed, those Vengeful Spirits were all turned into nothingness.

With a "boom," the earth-attribute battle-axe slammed heavily into the protective shield. The shield trembled violently and became covered in cracks.

Su Ling's figure flew backward, and blood was already overflowing from the corner of his mouth.

As a Peak Nascent Soul, boldly facing a Peak Fifth-Rank Demonic Beast was already the limit.

And this Mountain-Splitting Tiger, bolstered by the Savage Shaman's Augmentation Spell, had its power increased even further.

With this strike, even though Su Ling possessed two great Immortal Physiques, his internal organs were still injured.

"Junior Brother Su!"

Seeing this, Tian Yu hurriedly wanted to come to his aid, but she was firmly entangled by the Demonic Beasts around her and could not get away.

Lu Tao also saw Su Ling's predicament and was extremely anxious.

He wanted to rush over to help, but two Late Stage Fifth-Rank Demonic Beasts blocked his path firmly.

Su Ling stabilized his figure, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

Just now, when he and Lu Tao acted, they instantly turned the tide of the battle, directly causing the opponent to trigger the Air Banning Formation ahead of time.

Otherwise, why go through such a large production just to take down a few of their Soul Transformation squads?

Su Ling felt it definitely went beyond that.

Without knowing the opponent's trump cards, he had originally wanted to stall for time to see if the Command Post could notice something was wrong and send stronger Cultivators for support.

But now, he knew he couldn't let it continue like this; he had to end the battle quickly.
