43: With the magic sword in hand, the god of death is possessed!

"Sizzle—!"

The Berserk Blood Bear's fur and thick hide, which were as tough as refined iron and could withstand the impact of a Magic Treasure, were sliced through like a melon by the divine sword's sharp edge. Its entire massive forearm was severed at the root! Blood gushed out like a waterfall!

"Awoo—!"

The Berserk Blood Bear let out an agonizing howl, and its huge body crashed to the ground due to the intense pain and loss of balance.

Su Yang didn't even look, his figure unhindered as he rapidly charged into the bear pack with the help of his Shadow Travel Boots!

Sword light flashed, graceful as a startled swan, elegant as a soaring Dragon!

Every swing inevitably brought a tragic howl.

After unlocking his Innate Kidney Body, Su Yang's own strength was already much higher than others at the same Realm. Now, he had entered the Late Foundation Establishment Stage. In terms of actual combat power, his current strength had effectively reached the Core Formation Realm level.

A three-star Spirit Beast corresponded to a Human Race cultivator at the Core Formation Realm level.

However, Su Yang also had the divine sword in his hand.

This most powerful ancient Magical Artifact from Burial Immortal Valley fought alongside him, allowing Su Yang to unleash terrifying destructive power far beyond his current Realm. Not a single Berserk Blood Bear could withstand his second sword strike!

At this moment, Su Yang was like a God of Slaughter, carving a bloody path through the Berserk Blood Bear formation in the most brutal and direct way!

However, the beast tide wasn't just on the ground.

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—!"

Piercing sounds of air being torn came from overhead!

Dozens of Iron Feathered Eagles seized the opportunity and dived down at extremely high speeds!

Their iron-gray feathers gleamed with a metallic luster, and their sharp talons were capable of piercing through metal and stone!

At the same time, the ground churned, and several Earth-Splitting Earth Dragons burst out of the earth, roaring as they sealed off all of Su Yang's escape routes from the sides!

Above and below, a deadly trap!

Although the Iron Feathered Eagles and Earth-Splitting Earth Dragons were not as strong as the Berserk Blood Bears, they were all close to the level of three-star Spirit Beasts, so their strength was not weak.

More importantly, their large numbers greatly compensated for any individual shortcomings.

Su Yang was instantly plunged into an unprecedentedly dangerous situation.

Facing this perfectly coordinated, seemingly commanded three-dimensional attack, there seemed to be no escape!

"Damn it, I'm a Transmigrator! Am I really going to die at the hands of you beasts!?"

Su Yang would not accept his fate.

A hint of determination flashed in his eyes. Su Yang bit his tongue hard, the intense pain stimulating him to maintain an extremely clear state of mind and always sustain his Battle Intent!

He didn't try to defend against the attacks from above, but instead poured most of his True Qi into his Shadow Travel Boots and the divine sword!

"Earth Dragon, so what? Get out of my way!"

Su Yang roared, charging directly towards one of the Earth-Splitting Earth Dragons.

The Earth Dragon naturally wasn't just there for show. Seeing Su Yang charge over, it immediately launched its fatal attack, spitting out an annihilating breath from its gaping maw, imbued with the turbid Qi of the earth!

Su Yang did not dodge or evade. With the divine sword leading the way and him following the sword, he charged past like a bolt of lightning, boosted by the Shadow Travel Boots!

"Boom—!"

The sharp edge of the divine sword collided head-on with the annihilating breath. The breath, which was capable of corroding Magical Artifacts and annihilating life, was split open by the divine sword!

Su Yang's figure burst out from the scattering turbid Qi. Although his robes were corroded with many holes and his face was somewhat pale, his speed did not diminish in the slightest!

He had already arrived in front of the Earth Dragon.

Without any hesitation, he immediately launched an attack.

In the crisis, Su Yang formed a hand seal with his left hand and held the sword with his right. A magic array appeared in front of him. Su Yang immediately inserted the divine sword into the magic array. When the divine sword reappeared from the magic array, it transformed into a giant sword ten meters long. Before the Earth Dragon could react, a single sword strike pierced its head.

This magic array was called the Dragon Transformation Sword Array, a mid-level magic array specifically designed to enhance offensive Magical Artifacts, and it was one of the few mid-level magic arrays Su Yang had mastered.

This Dragon Transformation Sword Array consumed an enormous amount of True Qi.

Since he used this sword array, only killing one Earth Dragon would be too much of a loss.

Su Yang precisely calculated his True Qi consumption. The giant sword swept across the charging Earth-Splitting Earth Dragons, severing the heads of three Earth Dragons in a row, and also splitting a charging Berserk Blood Bear in two.

He finally carved a bloody path through the beasts.

Just as Su Yang was about to rush out, an Iron Feathered Eagle swooped down from behind him while he had not yet regained his breath. Its two talons fiercely grabbed his back and left shoulder, instantly tearing off large chunks of flesh, exposing bone!

Blood instantly stained his clothes!

Intense pain struck, and Su Yang groaned, his body stumbling.

Su Yang used the momentum to roll forward, and at the same time, he swung his sword upwards in a backhand strike!

"Caw—!"

A shrill eagle cry. The Iron Feathered Eagle, which was preparing to attack again, had its talons precisely severed by the divine sword, and it fell with a mournful shriek.

Su Yang had no time to tend to his wounds, nor to catch his breath.

More Iron Feathered Eagles and the attacks from the other two Earth-Splitting Earth Dragons had already arrived one after another!

All around, more Spirit Beasts, driven even crazier by the scent of blood, were swarming in!

The bloody path he had just carved out was once again blocked by the frenzied Spirit Beasts.

Su Yang was plunged into a truly bitter struggle!

Every sword swing, every dodge, was a dance on the edge of life and death.

His wounds grew more numerous, and blood had almost dyed him into a bloody man.

True Qi was rapidly depleting, and there was no way to replenish it.

But he couldn't stop!

If he fell, he would definitely be torn to pieces by this group of frenzied Spirit Beasts!

Su Yang fought continuously, surrounded by Spirit Beasts.

The divine sword in his hand seemed to have a life of its own, as fierce and unstoppable as thunder, clashing head-on with powerful enemies.

His tacit understanding with the divine sword was improving at an astonishing speed under the pressure of life and death.

However, the beast tide seemed endless.

Half an hour later.

Su Yang's feet were already piled high with the corpses of various Spirit Beasts, blood flowing like a river, and the surrounding trees had long been razed to the ground.

He wasn't fighting the Spirit Beasts while standing on the ground; he was fighting them while standing on their corpses.

At this point, Su Yang was also at the end of his rope. His True Qi was almost depleted, his arms felt as heavy as if filled with lead, and his vision was starting to blur due to the prolonged, high-level concentration of his Divine Sense.

"No... if this continues, I'm definitely going to die..."

Seeing the beast tide still gathering towards him, Su Yang gritted his teeth fiercely. The Medicinal Pill he had intended to save for later was no longer something he dared to hold onto.

Seizing a gap in the battle, he quickly took out the exquisite wooden box from his Storage Pouch and immediately swallowed the golden-red hunyuan true spirit pill!

The Medicinal Pill melted upon entering his mouth!

The next moment, an indescribably vast and pure True Qi, like a volcanic eruption, exploded from his Dantian, instantly surging through his almost dried-up limbs and bones!

"Damn you all—!"

Su Yang couldn't help but let out a long howl, full of power!

His Aura soared, not only instantly returning to his Peak state but even becoming several times stronger than his previous full strength!

"Come on, I'll kill every last one of you!"

Su Yang's eyes burned with raging Battle Intent. Holding the divine sword, he actively charged into the surging beast tide once more!

This time, he was even more courageous, even more ferocious!

The immense True Qi provided by the hunyuan true spirit pill allowed him to unleash even more powerful sword moves without any reservations!

Sword light crisscrossed, beast blood flew everywhere!

Su Yang transformed into a tireless fighting machine, stirring up a storm of blood and gore within the beast tide!

Another hour passed.

Although he had slain countless beasts in the surrounding tide, they still came endlessly!

The more Su Yang killed, the more he felt something was off.

This was his first time encountering a beast tide, but he had read descriptions of beast tides in books more than once.

Under normal circumstances, a beast tide was a senseless frenzy, and often, the outbreak of a beast tide was accompanied by the Spirit Beasts' own infighting.

But in the situation he was currently facing, although these Spirit Beasts were frenzied, their target was only him.

It was as if they were being controlled in some way, precisely attacking only him.

The mysterious appearance of this beast tide itself made Su Yang feel a bit strange, and now the more he fought, the more peculiar it seemed.

Is someone targeting me?

Su Yang began to seriously ponder this question while fighting...
