Such strength can be said to be unmatched among the disciples undergoing the assessment.
Yun Fan glanced at the person but did not respond, vividly recalling the speed at which he had just fled. Zhou Da Cong scratched his head, not feeling embarrassed at all, and chuckled. "Big Brother, I didn’t run away just now; I was merely setting up formations on the side to prevent that Yan Family Disciple from launching a sneak attack. Besides, my admiration for you is like the endless flow of the Yangtze River, as unstoppable as the Yellow River in flood. How could I possibly abandon you and flee alone?"
Yun Fan quickly waved his hand, stopping Zhou Da Cong from continuing to boast. "Enough nonsense! Let’s hunt down these beasts first. We’ve been affected by the Mysterious Beast Fragrance and lost most of our strength. Once it wears off, even I won’t be able to contend with such a massive horde of beasts."
Zhou Da Cong nodded vigorously and immediately unleashed his peak strength at the True Realm Ninth Layer, starting to work with Yun Fan to slay the beasts. In this chaotic battle against the horde, Azure Wind Wolves were continuously slaughtered, their blood splattering everywhere.
As they killed more and more beasts, their points kept increasing rapidly. Yun Fan's ranking had already surged into the top three, closing in on Nan Gong Hao Tian in second place, with his growth rate still accelerating forward. Even Zhou Da Cong had pushed into the forefront, gaining points at an impressive speed.
Watching as more Azure Wind Wolves surrounded them and noticing that the effects of the Mysterious Beast Fragrance were beginning to wear off, Yun Fan furrowed his brow. Continuing like this would lead to being surrounded and devoured by these beasts; escaping would be difficult even for himself.
After pondering for a moment, his eyes brightened with an idea: he could set up a Second-Order Formation to hunt down the beasts. He turned to Zhou Da Cong and hurriedly said, "Big Onion, you hold off these beasts for now while I set up a formation from behind to lure them all in for slaughter."
Upon hearing this, Zhou Da Cong patted his chest confidently and assured him, "Don’t worry, Big Brother! Leave this to me!"
Yun Fan nodded and used Thunderous Step to vanish in an instant. Soon after, he arrived outside a valley and began arranging a Second-Grade Superior Beast-Trapping Formation along with a Second-Grade Advanced Killing Formation. With these two formations in place, he should be able to slay quite a number of beasts.
Yun Fan promptly took out Formation Plates and Formation Materials from his storage bag and began placing them around.
As the array patterns were drawn, the spiritual energy from the Dantian surged forth, gradually merging the surrounding formations together. At that moment, Zhou Da Cong gripped his giant sword, unleashing a tremendous power as he desperately held his ground against the oncoming Azure Wind Wolves.
With the effects of the sedative wearing off, many beasts surged forward. In particular, the Third-Order Beasts roared, their terrifying presence echoing throughout the forest as they charged at Zhou Da Cong, intent on tearing him apart.
Zhou Da Cong gritted his teeth, summoning every ounce of strength he had to fight back. Although his attacks had reached the level of Xuanjing, he still found himself at a disadvantage against these early to mid-stage Third Tier beasts, being forced to retreat under their relentless assault.
Meanwhile, Yun Fan observed that the two formations had already taken shape. Wiping the sweat from his brow, he let out a slow sigh of relief. Setting up two arrays in such a short time had indeed been urgent, but fortunately, his knowledge of formations had become increasingly proficient, allowing him to work quickly. He was not far from breaking through to become a Third-Rank Array Master.
Seeing Zhou Da Cong still engaged in battle, he immediately shouted out, "It's ready! Quickly retreat!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Da Cong breathed a sigh of relief and immediately turned to flee towards the rear. The Azure Wind Wolves bared their sharp fangs and howled as they pursued him.
In an instant, the swarm of wolves surged into the array. The Second-Grade Superior Beast-Trapping Formation activated immediately, energy beams striking out fiercely and trapping the Azure Wind Wolves within its confines, rendering them unable to move.
