Chapter 34
Spiritual Beasts
Seeing Qiao’er was struggling to stay alive, Zhou Yun immediately used all his spiritual Qi to activate the Setting Sun Sword Intent and charged at Qiao’er.
The Setting Sun Sword Intent brought him like a beam of light, breaking through the layers of encirclement in an instant.
Zhou Yun charged through the group of spiritual beasts and successfully arrived in front of Qiao’er.
Looking at the spiritual beasts pouncing toward Qiao’er, Zhou Yun raised his sword and slashed with all his might. A sword light flashed, and the spiritual beasts were instantly cut in half.
“Qiao’er, are you hurt?”
Hearing the familiar voice, Qiao’er, who was still struggling to resist, was stunned and looked up.
Brother Zhou Yun, whom she had been thinking about so much, had suddenly come to her side.
Qiao’er immediately let down her guard. Her big red eyes were filled with tears as she hugged Zhou Yun.
“Brother Zhou Yun, is it you?”
Zhou Yun’s heart ached when he heard Qiao’er’s aggrieved and soft voice. “It’s me! I’m here!”
Zhou Yun pulled the young girl into his arms and stroked her little head, smoothening her hair.
The tears in Qiao’er’s eyes finally fell, and the dust on her face was also wet and stuck to her face, making her look like a dirty kitten.
“I’m not dreaming, right?” Qiao’er rubbed her eyes, which were already red, in disbelief.
“It’s me. Your brother Zhou Yun is here. I’ll protect you from now on!”
Zhou Yun’s voice was low and his eyes were filled with killing intent.
The actions of the inner sect disciples had successfully angered him. If he had the chance, he would definitely make these people pay the price.
After Zhou Yun killed a few more spiritual beasts, he picked Qiao’er up. He suppressed the killing intent in his heart and prepared to break through the encirclement of the spiritual beasts.
Now, his own strength was too small. If he had a conflict with the other party, the result would not be good. Therefore, he was prepared to improve his strength first. When his strength reached a certain level, he would settle the score with these people.
After picking Qiao’er up, Zhou Yun activated the Setting Sun Sword Intent again and rushed outside.
A flash of sword-light streaked across the sky. Zhou Yun carried Qiao’er and followed the sword-light, breaking through the spiritual beasts’ encirclement and arriving at the Spirit-cleansing Pond.
Meng Fei’ang was commanding the inner sect disciples to attack the spiritual beasts in the cleansing spirit pond when a bright light suddenly flashed in front of him.
It immediately alerted him. After taking a closer look, he saw that there was another person following behind the sword light. This person was Zhou Yun, and he was currently carrying Qiao’er in his arms.
Meng Fei’ang reacted immediately and punched Zhou Yun.
He didn’t expect Zhou Yun to see him. Zhou Yun pulled out his sword and activated his sword intent, then threw it at Meng Fei’ang.
The sword intent and the fist radiance formed by the fist collided in an instant. As soon as they came into contact, a huge explosion was immediately produced.
Bang!
With a loud bang, Zhou Yun, who was closer to the explosion, was sent flying by the shockwave and landed in the Spirit-cleansing Pond.
Meng Fei’ang was also knocked back by the explosion. He watched as Zhou Yun fell into the water with Qiao’er in his arms.
Meng Fei’ang’s face darkened as he watched the two of them fall into the pool.
“Big Senior Brother, what happened just now?”
“I think there was an explosion just now. Senior Brother, are you hurt?”
“Senior Brother, what’s wrong?”
Everyone came over to ask after hearing the explosion.
“I’m fine. Go and call back the people who were chasing Qiao’er just now. Everyone, let’s put in more effort! We’re about to break through!”
Meng Fei-ang’s eyes darkened, but he didn’t say anything.
“Yes, Senior Brother!”
After everyone had gathered, they continued to attack the Spirit-cleansing Pond. When the last illusionary spirit beast was killed, everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.
After leaving behind a few people to collect the Spirit-cleansing Liquid, the rest of the people directly rushed towards the Spirit-cleansing Pool.
At this moment, the area outside the Spirit-cleansing Pond was filled with the corpses of the spiritual beasts. The inner sect disciples had only managed to break through the main camp after such a long period of time. The number of spiritual beasts they had killed was uncountable, and the amount of Spirit-cleansing Liquid they had left behind was also uncountable.
All of this Spirit-cleansing Liquid would be enough for them to cleanse all of the spiritual Qi in their bodies. They might even have some extra and could bring it back to the Spirit Valley to exchange for resources.
The few people who stayed behind looked at the corpses all over the ground and were extremely excited.
The other group of inner sect disciples arrived at the side of the pond where the spiritual beast lived after entering the Spirit-cleansing Pond.
“Everyone, take a break and quickly recover your spiritual Qi. There will be a tough battle to fight later!”
Hearing Meng Fei’ang’s instructions, everyone sat down cross-legged and began to recover their spiritual Qi. Some took out spiritual stones and began to absorb them, while others took out a few pills and threw them into their mouths. Then, they closed their eyes and started cultivating.
Meng Fei’ang also sat on the ground with his legs crossed, thinking about his plan.
He had just watched Zhou Yun fall in with Qiao’er in his arms, but now they had not even noticed their shadows. It seemed that they had already been eaten by the spiritual beast at the late of foundation establishment stage.
Zhou Yun was a Qi cultivation stage trash and did not have much strength. Qiao’er, on the other hand, had already used up all of her spiritual Qi. If she encountered that spiritual beast, she would most likely be swallowed in one bite without even being able to resist.
Thinking of this, Meng Fei’ang’s gloomy face suddenly showed a smile,
“You can’t blame me for this. Zhou Yun, you ran in here of your own accord!”
Meng Fei-ang stood up and said to everyone after they had rested, “This time, we’re going to deal with a late of foundation establishment stage spiritual beast. His strength is completely different from the spiritual beast we’ve dealt with outside the cave. Everyone must be careful. As long as we kill this spiritual beast, we’ll have succeeded!”
Then, he took out a packet of powder.
“This is a special powder that is specially used to attract spiritual beasts. You, go and sprinkle this powder into the water. After the spiritual beast comes out, everyone will immediately start attacking with all their might. Try to kill this spiritual beast in the shortest time possible!”
“Yes, Senior Brother!” All the inner disciples present had excitement in their eyes as they replied in unison.
At the edge of the Spirit-cleansing Pond, an inner sect disciple was holding a bag of medicinal powder and slowly sprinkling it into the water. Behind him, all the inner sect disciples had taken out their magic tools and various lethal weapons, preparing to attack with all their might.
After the medicinal powder was sprinkled into the water, the disciple quickly retreated into the crowd, took out his magic tool, and stared at the water.
In a short while, the water surface began to bubble like boiling water.
Seeing this, everyone activated their magical equipment and waited in anticipation.
The bubbles in the pond grew larger and more concentrated. Finally, the bubbles disappeared and turned into ripples.
Seeing this scene, everyone held their breath. Suddenly, a huge figure rushed out of the water and rose into the air, bringing with it a huge wave.
Everyone who saw this scene couldn’t help but exclaim.
“The spiritual beast is out!”
