44: Mountains of corpses and seas of blood, yet standing firm!

The Eight Sects were fighting over the Spirit Beast, and someone wanted to attack him. This possibility was extremely high!

What kind of situation was he in now?

He was the only person to receive the divine sword's recognition in the more than 30,000 years after the end of the First Era, belonging to the idiom 'the tallest tree in the forest catches the most wind'.

Except for the Profound Heaven Dao Sect, the other Seven Sects probably all had reasons to kill him.

If given the chance to kill him, the Eight Sects could return to a relatively balanced state, instead of the current situation where the Profound Heaven Dao Sect held absolute dominance.

Whether it was the Lower Five Sects or the Upper Two Sects besides the Profound Heaven Dao Sect, they all had reasons to kill him.

In the current situation, Su Yang found it hard to believe that all of this was an accident.

Who was controlling these Spirit Beasts?

While fighting, Su Yang spread his Divine Sense to scan the battlefield, but found no traces of Human Race cultivators around.

As a qualified Transmigrator, Su Yang naturally wouldn't overlook the situation in the sky.

"Could it be it..."

Su Yang noticed the Blue-Winged Sky-Rending Eagle circling in the air.

Throughout this battle, it wasn't the first time he had seen this eagle in the sky. He hadn't paid attention before, but now Su Yang finally realized something was wrong.

Just as Su Yang noticed the Blue-Winged Sky-Rending Eagle, it didn't notice his subtle expression, but rather noticed that the Spirit Beasts on the battlefield were once again almost slaughtered by Su Yang.

It had to summon more Spirit Beasts to the battlefield to besiege Su Yang.

The Blue-Winged Sky-Rending Eagle expanded its circling range, its wings flapping, and a peculiar powder scattered into the ancient mountain forest with the wind.

More Spirit Beasts from further away roared and came towards him.

"As expected, there's a problem!"

With more attention on the sky, Su Yang clearly saw the actions of the Blue-Winged Sky-Rending Eagle.

Now he was certain he had been set up.

And after confirming he had been set up, Su Yang immediately realized that the Yu Ling Sect was most likely capable of orchestrating this scheme.

Among the Eight Great Sects, the Yu Ling Sect had always been famous throughout the world for controlling Spirit Beasts.

"They sure turned hostile quickly."

Su Yang wasn't foolish; he immediately understood that the Yu Ling Sect blamed him for the failed marriage alliance.

By eliminating him, the Profound Heaven Dao Sect would lose its future reliance, and then the marriage alliance could continue.

Even if the marriage alliance couldn't continue, the Yu Ling Sect could join forces with the Five Elements Sect to oppose the Profound Heaven Dao Sect. If the second and third of the Upper Three Sects united, the Profound Heaven Dao Sect, the world's number one Sect, would definitely be pulled down within a few years.

"Ruthless enough."

Su Yang looked at the Blue-Winged Sky-Rending Eagle flying back again, a cold sneer appearing on his face, his eyes even colder.

Withdrawing his attention, Su Yang refocused his energy on the battlefield.

Since someone had set up a trap, as long as he didn't die, the Blue-Winged Sky-Rending Eagle would continuously summon more Spirit Beasts.

The Spiritual Qi provided by the hunyuan true spirit pill was not infinite. An hour of continuous combat had already caused the true essence in his body to enter a depletion cycle again. If he continued fighting endlessly like this, he would be exhausted to death.

"In that case...!"

Only by putting himself in a desperate situation could he find a way to survive!

Su Yang's gaze suddenly turned fierce, not just towards these Spirit Beasts, but also towards himself.

His true essence erupted, and he charged into the beast horde with his divine sword.

This time, Su Yang's fighting style changed significantly. He became extremely reckless, with vulnerabilities all over his body. While constantly slaughtering Spirit Beasts, he was also continuously severely injured by them.

After only half an hour, Su Yang was covered in wounds deep enough to see bone.

As his injuries accumulated and worsened, his combat power also grew weaker.

However, in contrast, the Blue-Winged Sky-Rending Eagle in the sky, seeing him increasingly powerless to fight, summoned fewer and fewer Spirit Beasts.

When Su Yang killed the last Spirit Beast, he finally couldn't hold on any longer and collapsed face-up with a thud.

At this moment, he wasn't lying on the ground.

Instead, he lay on a mountain of piled Spirit Beast carcasses.

The blood of the Spirit Beasts gathered into a red blood lake on the open ground, itsfishy smell reaching the sky.

Su Yang, on top of the carcasses, gradually lost his breath, and even the unique aura of a cultivator dissipated with him.

The entire battlefield was deathly silent.

Everything returned to stillness.

The Blue-Winged Sky-Rending Eagle in the sky hovered directly above the battlefield. A distance of ten thousand meters was nothing to it, and its sharp eagle eyes clearly saw every detail on the battlefield below.

Its target had finally fallen!

But the command it received wasn't as simple as just seeing him die. It had to personally ensure the target was truly dead before the mission could be considered complete.

The Blue-Winged Sky-Rending Eagle circled for a moment, then transformed into a blue flash and swooped down.

The ten-thousand-meter distance vanished in an instant.

The Blue-Winged Sky-Rending Eagle spread its blue wings and landed precisely on the mountain of corpses. It pressed one claw onto Su Yang's body and grabbed Su Yang's head with the other.

Just as it was about to tear off Su Yang's head, Su Yang suddenly opened his eyes, a dazzling fierce light bursting forth. The last surge of true essence hidden within his body converged onto the divine sword, and enduring the intense pain in his limbs, he directly stabbed the sword into the Blue-Winged Sky-Rending Eagle's abdomen.

A mournful cry soared into the sky.

The Blue-Winged Sky-Rending Eagle was about to escape when a Sword Qi directly pierced its body. A single sword strike cleaved its upper body in half, and its still-connected body tumbled down from the mountain of corpses.

"Damn you! For trying to scheme against me!"

Su Yang endured the intense pain throughout his body and climbed up from the mountain of corpses.

Extreme weakness and exhaustion surged over him like a tide, nearly making him unable to stand.

But he won!

He, by himself, fought through this artificially created terrifying beast horde!

Looking around, the entire open ground was covered with Spirit Beast bodies, and the gradually congealing blood lake emitted a sky-high bloody Qi.

At this moment, only he stood upon the mountain of corpses and sea of blood!

"Pfft~~"

Spitting out a mouthful of bloody saliva, Su Yang staggered down from the mountain of corpses.

He sat down, leaning against the head of a Berserk Blood Bear.

As expected, with the death of the Blue-Winged Sky-Rending Eagle, the beast horde vanished.

At this moment, Su Yang could finally catch his breath.

"Damn it, the Yu Ling Sect truly lives up to its name as one of the Upper Three Sects. Just one Blue-Winged Sky-Rending Eagle caused a beast horde of this scale. If it weren't for me having the divine sword and the blessing of the Innate Kidney Body, I would have truly fallen into your hands today!"

Su Yang cursed.

At the same time, he was also grateful that he had encountered the Four-Tailed Fox Demon earlier. If it weren't for her, allowing him to Breakthrough to Late Foundation Establishment Stage and greatly enhance his strength, this battle might have been touch-and-go for him.

"Hurry and recover."

"So many Spirit Beasts died here; it might attract other Spirit Beasts later."

"If more come, I really can't fight anymore."

Su Yang immediately took out another top-grade healing Medicinal Pill from his Storage Pouch, the Mystic Spirit Restoration Pill, which the Sect Master had given him.

Just as he was about to take it, a pinkish-white light flashed past him, and the Mystic Spirit Restoration Pill in his hand disappeared out of thin air.

Su Yang's heart sank.

It's over!

He ran into that vixen again!

Indeed.

The Four-Tailed Fox Demon reappeared, swaying her fox tail.

She elegantly paced in front of Su Yang, stepping on blood and corpses, yet no bloodstains touched her beautiful fur.

Those enchanting fox eyes stared intently at him, filled with curiosity, playfulness, and... a deeper greed.

With a light leap, she once again transformed into that alluring and peerless woman, landing barefoot in front of Su Yang.

She toyed with Su Yang's Mystic Spirit Restoration Pill in her hand, her charming eyes like silk, her red lips slightly parted, her voice incredibly seductive:

"Little brother, you truly make this elder sister... see you in a new light."

"Elder sister, you jest... Being in such a sorry state is not worth seeing in a new light... May I ask why elder sister sought me out?"

Su Yang said with a bitter smile.

At this moment, whether it was anger or struggle, he couldn't do either, and fleeing was even more out of the question.

"Your mouth is quite sweet. Elder sister indeed has something for you, and you, well, you'll know immediately..."

The Four-Tailed Fox Demon smiled alluringly, gracefully waved her hand, and a pink wind blew past Su Yang. Su Yang instantly lost consciousness...
