"Sword Sweeps the Seas"
Ye Feng once again unleashed a large-scale sword technique, the fierce sword light sweeping in all directions, effortlessly harvesting a large number of low-level beasts.
Under Ye Feng's full assault, many magical beasts found it difficult to approach. Often, just as they attempted to retaliate, they were easily exterminated by countless sword energies and sword lights. In the chaos, even some mid-level magical beasts could not escape; under the execution of the Void Sword Technique, Mid-Level Beasts often did not have time to react before being struck down by the sword light that suddenly appeared at their vital points.
The defensive formation constructed by the Demon Squad transformed from a fortified position into a meat grinder, charging left and right among the beast horde, continuously eliminating the magical beasts scattered by Ye Feng.
The cooperation between Ye Feng and the Demon Squad was seamless. With Ye Feng leading, they completely disrupted the formation of the beast horde, preventing them from mounting an effective counterattack. The other members of the Demon Squad then surged forward to carry out the final harvest.
In just half an hour, dozens of magical beasts were eradicated. Thanks to their previous experience working together and taking the initiative in this attack, the injuries sustained by the squad members were significantly lighter than during the last assault. Bai Jing quickly freed up his hands to begin collecting the inner cores of the magical beasts.
"Fortunately, these were just low-level magical beasts, not even Soul Beasts. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so easy," Leihong said as he shook his wrist to scatter the blood of the magical beasts from his long knife before sheathing it, expressing his thoughts with a pat on his palm.
The few isolated disciples around looked at the ground covered in beast corpses and could only smile wryly in response.
Almost every low-level magical beast possessed strength equivalent to that of a mid-stage Origin Martial Realm warrior, yet they considered this battle quite easy?
To these isolated disciples, the members of the Demon Squad seemed terrifying like Monsters.
After collecting the inner cores and taking a short rest, the team led by Ye Feng continued advancing toward the exit.
Along the way, they encountered successive small-scale Beast Tides. Although they appeared extremely dangerous, they always managed to resolve these formidable beast hordes without incident. Ye Feng had become a Killing God in everyone's eyes, and as he led the Demon Squad, their numbers continued to grow as more isolated disciples who had narrowly escaped death joined their ranks.
When they crossed a certain Summit, faint light from the exit became visible, prompting everyone to cheer.
Ye Feng maintained a steady pace; no one noticed that his expression had grown increasingly grim. Positioned at the front of the team and keeping about a hundred yards distance from the main group while relying on Soul Thought to scout ahead, he felt an unsettling change in their situation.
Although they were getting closer to the exit, this team led by Ye Feng was attracting more and more attention from magical beasts.
The beasts have their own dignity, and their true purpose does not lie with these humans. However, the team led by Ye Feng has spilled too much beast blood, and the thick scent of blood mixed with the unique Elemental Wave of humans stands out conspicuously in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, a realm belonging to the beasts.
A large number of Beast Tides began to converge on Ye Feng's location, surrounding him from all directions. Although Ye Feng managed to evade most of the encirclement using Soul Thought, it was clear that the manipulators behind the Beast Tide possessed considerable intelligence. They had deliberately set up ambushes at several key points leading to the exit.
This situation greatly troubled Ye Feng, and he was also extremely wary of the manipulators behind the Beast Tide.
"What secret could be attracting these beasts? Could it be the Mysterious Cave Entrance at the Lake Bottom?" The more Ye Feng thought about it, the more likely it seemed. He feared that the continuously surging Demonic Energy from the Mysterious Cave Entrance in the lake was exceptionally important to the beasts in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons. The seals placed by three members of the Ethereal Clan had driven the beasts in the Abyss into a frenzy, even prompting them to destroy outer barriers and engage in direct conflict with humans.
Beasts below a certain level of power possess lower intelligence and are unaware of the strength of Human Warriors. However, as a beast's power increases, its intelligence becomes more developed. Although they roam freely in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, they understand that angering humans would only lead to their own destruction.
Higher-level beasts generally hide deep within the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons, avoiding contact with Human Forces. Occasionally, human explorers appear, but they typically have lower cultivation levels since there are no particularly famous treasures in the Abyss. Only the Heavenly Demon Flower attracts some human explorers.
No force would openly hunt down beasts in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons because the beasts rarely venture into human territory.
As Ye Feng pondered deeply while hastily making his way forward, he suddenly felt a jolt in his heart and paused his steps.
"What a dense Demonic Energy! This level of Demonic Energy could only belong to High-Level Magical Beasts," Ye Feng couldn't help but chuckle bitterly. He hadn't expected that a group of beasts sent to intercept them would gather at a cliff ahead, waiting for Ye Feng and his companions to fall into their encirclement. This was a medium-sized group led by a High-Level Magical Beast.
Ye Feng stopped in his tracks, and everyone behind him came to a halt as well. The lone disciples who had joined them along the way had developed great trust in him and dared not make any noise.
Ye Feng quietly retreated back to the crowd and said solemnly, "There are at least a hundred beasts ahead forming a medium-sized group, and at their head is a High-Level Magical Beast!"
These few words caused everyone's spirits to plummet.
A medium-sized Beast Tide and a High-Level Magical Beast were not something they could handle.
"Is there any other way to bypass this place?" someone asked tremulously.
"It is almost impossible. The path ahead is a must-pass route, surrounded by towering mountains, and the magical beasts inside are not fewer than the ones in front," Ye Feng patiently explained.
"Those are High-Level Magical Beasts; Origin Martial Realm warriors cannot win against them." Some still expressed disbelief, as the exit was right in front of them, and it seemed there were many paths to get past the magical beasts ahead.
Leihong said irritably, "If you don't believe it, you can leave on your own; there's no need to follow us."
The disciples who had strayed fell silent. They had followed Ye Feng all the way and had come to realize that the reason the Demon Squad had made it this far was not merely luck. Their leader, Ye Feng, seemed to have a natural sensitivity to danger, always managing to lead them out of encirclements at critical moments.
Just as everyone hesitated, a commotion came from behind.
Ye Feng remained unfazed. Using his Soul Thought, he had already noticed several other small teams closely following behind them. Because Ye Feng's route always managed to narrowly avoid encirclements by magical beasts, many Trial Teams had taken note and began to secretly follow the Demon Squad, hoping to escape danger time and again.
Seeing Ye Feng stop, the following teams could no longer hold back and stepped out from the shadows, directly appearing before the Demon Squad.
"Brother Zhou, I am Zong Nan, the captain of the Surprising Tiger Squad. May I ask why you have stopped? The exit is not far ahead," one captain of a Trial Team boldly approached.
Ye Feng paused for a moment; he recognized him at a glance. This Trial Team was among the stronger ones, with two-thirds of its members at the late stage of Origin Martial Realm. Moreover, after this period of trials and teamwork, their coordination was not much weaker than that of his own Demon Squad.
With Zong Nan's appearance, more and more Trial Teams gradually stepped forward from behind and gathered around Ye Feng's Demon Squad.
"So it's Elder Brother," Ye Feng smiled slightly and did not hide anything. He casually said, "There are at least a hundred magical beasts gathering ahead, including a High-Level Magical Beast among them. I stopped to discuss strategies with my team because we couldn't think of a response in time."
"What? A High-Level Magical Beast?" For Zong Nan, the number of magical beasts was not particularly concerning since there were nearly a hundred Trial Disciples gathered together now.
"Although it is rumored that High-Level Magical Beasts possess strength equivalent to experts at the Peak of the Ninth Level of Yuan Martial Realm in the outside world, their abilities are significantly enhanced in the Abyss of Ten Thousand Demons. Ordinary Ninth Level Yuanwu Realm warriors are simply no match for them," Zong Nan murmured, his expression turning extremely grim.
High-Level Magical Beasts are nearly invincible within Origin Martial Realm; only by surrounding them with multiple Ninth Level Yuanwu Realm warriors could there be a slim chance of victory; otherwise, they could at most force it back.
After realizing the power of the High-Level Magical Beast, everyone's spirits sank even lower. However, they knew there was still a chance, as among the nearly one hundred Trial Disciples present, there were three who had reached the Yuanwu Realm Ninth Level. Additionally, Ye Feng's strength was not inferior to that of an average Yuanwu Realm Ninth Level disciple. Even if they couldn't kill the High-Level Magical Beast, they could certainly hold it off.
The three Trial Disciples, aside from Ye Feng, happened to be the captains of their respective teams. They initially did not want to take on this highly dangerous task, but under everyone's watchful eyes, they could not refuse and had no choice but to step forward. One of them was Cheng Ze, who had a past conflict with Ye Feng.
"If we don't hold off that High-Level Magical Beast, all the trial participants will likely be wiped out," Ye Feng said, seeing through the thoughts of the three. He emphasized his words, "It is impossible to pass through the upcoming barrier relying solely on individual strength. I advise you all to abandon that idea and cooperate with me if you want any chance of leaving this place."
Zong Nan pondered for a moment before nodding in agreement. "Since this is the only way, I have no choice but to agree."
Cheng Ze also opened his palms and said, "I have no objections."
Another captain at the Yuanwu Realm Ninth Level had some reservations but seeing that the other two had already agreed, he could only nod in acceptance of this task.
"Your goal is to hold off those magical beasts and try not to get entangled with them for too long. Otherwise, if nearby magical beasts come to support them, even if we manage to draw away that High-Level Magical Beast, you won't be able to escape," Ye Feng stated. His voice was not loud but clearly reached everyone's ears.
Everyone expressed their agreement; after all, someone had already taken on the most dangerous task. As long as they could divert the High-Level Magical Beast's attention, they were confident they could safely pass through the blockade of beasts ahead.
"Not good! It seems the beast horde ahead has noticed us!" someone exclaimed in alarm.
