In a moment of extreme urgency, Ye Yang's mind became unexpectedly clear. The Fire God Fragment True Qi surged within him, and almost instinctively, he raised his arm. A mighty flame erupted, driven by the Fire God Power, rushing forth in a torrent. Dozens of flames intertwined, enveloping the Thorned Beast within.
Ye Yang was overjoyed. He had once envisioned such a technique in the Refined Realm but had never put it into practice. To his surprise, he instinctively gathered the flames at this critical moment and succeeded on the first try!
His five fingers slightly spread apart and then suddenly closed. The Fire God Power was drawn by Ye Yang, rapidly contracting to form a large net that bound the massive beast within!
Blazing Fire Net!
He even thought of a name for the technique. The Fire Element, inspired by the air, surged upward—fierce and unrestrained. However, the Fire God Power could effectively control these Fire Elements. Under conscious guidance, the Fire Elements gained a certain stickiness, and Ye Yang utilized this subtle "dependency" to complete the Blazing Fire Net!
"Roar, roar, roar..."
The flames raged as the beast within the Blazing Fire Net let out a series of anguished howls. The net resembled a tough, red-hot iron chain that continuously burned the beast's body. Even though it was a Ninth-Grade Beast, it could not withstand such intense attacks.
Ye Yang stood up, panting heavily. He knew that the Blazing Fire Net would not be able to contain this Ninth-Grade Beast for long. Although the Thorned Beast howled in pain, it was merely injured and still posed a significant threat!
He quickly retreated, his expression extremely grave.
"Zi Yu!"
Zhang Tianhe approached with an injured arm. Seeing the beast howling under the restraint of the Blazing Fire Net, he stared in shock and said, "What... what kind of technique is this?"
Ye Yang remained silent.
Yan Yao rushed over with Yuwen Shang and others. Yuwen Shang placed his hand on his longsword and shouted loudly, "Brothers, take out your crossbows and shoot down this Ninth-Grade Beast!"
Immediately, a group of guards drew out Refined Iron crossbow bolts. In the next moment, the sound of arrows being released rang out as countless black arrows flew toward the Thorned Beast like a swarm of locusts!
“Clang Clang Clang……”
The arrows could not penetrate at all, as they were all deflected by the energy shield on the surface of the giant beast. This High-Level Beast had already cultivated to an extraordinary level, and forming a protective shield around itself was a basic life-saving ability.
“Why are you back? Do you want to die?” Ye Yang glared at Yan Yao, fuming.
Yan Yao looked aggrieved: “But we can’t just watch you die!”
“Who said I was going to die…”
Ye Yang shook his head in disbelief, thinking, “With my unparalleled lightness skill, escaping should be no problem, right? This girl is really foolish; no wonder she has been imprisoned in the State of Chu for so many years without finding a way to escape.”
……
Zhang Tianhe clenched his fists and raised his True Qi to its peak state, saying in a deep voice, “Zi Yu, what do we do now? We need to find a way to take down this beast!”
Ye Yang replied coldly, “I have no strength left; my True Qi is severely depleted…”
“Oh no, what should we do?”
“I don’t know…”
In fact, Ye Yang had originally planned to escape once the Blazing Fire Net was successfully released. He didn’t expect these fools to come back; now it seemed they would all die together.
At that moment, the Thorned Beast finally broke free, shaking off the Blazing Fire Net. The flames gradually extinguished as they hit the ground, having exhausted their energy. Looking at the giant beast, it was only injured but not dead; it had already entered a frenzied state, swinging its arms and charging rapidly towards Ye Yang and the others.
“Damn it!”
Ye Yang gritted his teeth and once again raised the Breaking Flame Sword. Lightning orbs floated above the Blade, and his remaining True Qi was barely enough to unleash one more Wilderness Thunder. Having suffered a direct hit from the Ninth-Grade Beast, he was gravely injured. The True Qi in his dantian began to dissipate within mere seconds, and the speed of its dissipation was terrifying enough to be fatal.
Everyone's faces were filled with horror as they gazed at the roaring giant beast. The destructive and regenerative powers of the Ninth-Grade Beast were almost unimaginable to these mortals. What could they do in the face of the Thorned Beast?
They could only wait for death.
Both Ye Yang and Zhang Tianhe were injured, struggling to gather their energy for one final counterattack. They exchanged a glance and saw a hint of despair in each other's eyes. The Azure Cloud Mountain Range was indeed a terrifying place for cultivation!
...
"We're finished..." Yan Yao slowly closed her eyes and whispered, "Father, I'm sorry. Yan Yao leaves before you..."
At that moment, a powerful force from Jue Tian suddenly appeared out of nowhere, shaking the ground as if from a massive explosion!
"Whoosh!"
A Rainbow Light descended from the sky, precisely landing on the forehead of the Thorned Beast!
"Thud!"
The Rainbow Light pierced through, astonishingly penetrating the Thorned Beast's skull! That was the most resilient part of a magical beast; even ordinary magical beasts' skulls could be used to craft defensive items like heart-protecting mirrors. The skull of a Ninth-Grade Beast was an exceptionally rare treasure, yet it was so easily pierced?!
"Thud..."
With a soft sound, Ye Yang staggered back two steps. On the grass before him, a silver arrow quivered slightly—was this what had shot through the giant beast's head?
In an instant, Ye Yang was shocked. What kind of master could kill a Ninth-Grade Beast with just a small arrow?
Looking up, a beautiful figure floated out from the jungle, holding a Longbow. Her stunning face seemed familiar, with a pair of eyes as deep as a tranquil pool. The girl, dressed in exquisite silver Armor, walked gracefully towards them. Her neck was long and fair, her garments fluttering in the breeze, and the curves of her chest accentuated her elegant silhouette. The shoulders of her armor were prominent in shining silver, adorned with luminous gemstones, while her lower half was draped in a flowing white skirt that danced lightly, revealing a pair of long Snow Legs.
"Is it her?"
Ye Yang's mind echoed three words—Yun Xiaoxi!
Indeed, it was her. This mysterious girl had appeared when they defeated the Seven Tyrants of Liang City. Now, Yun Xiaoxi seemed to have even higher cultivation; she effortlessly pierced the brain of a Ninth-Grade Beast with just one glance!
Yun Xiaoxi's clear eyes scanned everyone present. When her gaze met theirs, each person felt a tremor in their hearts, filled with a sense of awe that made them hesitant to disrespect her.
"The Thorned Beast... how unexpected to see it here!"
Yun Xiaoxi looked at the giant beast and suddenly conjured a slender sword in her hand, lightly laughing as she said, "You're lucky today; I'll take care of you now!"
In the next moment, streaks of Starlight Power soared into the air. The sword shimmered with starlight—was she a Starry Sky Expert?!
This time, not only Ye Yang but even Zhang Tianhe and Yuwen Shang displayed expressions of shock. This seemingly twenty-year-old Stunning Girl possessed the formidable strength of a Starry Sky Expert?!
