A Brutal Battle

Battle Pass Ding!

The attack by fifty Ironblood Hounds was far more significant than the previous two attacks.

A large quantity can lead to a qualitative change.

Even Golden Core Cultivator would have to be extremely cautious when facing so many Ironblood Hounds with the strength of Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator, as a single misstep could even lead to their demise.

"Be careful, don't get surrounded by these guys. Their Law Technique attacks aren't strong, but if a dozen of them come at you at once, even I would have to temporarily retreat!"

While giving instructions to the Spirit Beasts, Yang Tianyou connected with Xuanyin and Zhiming through the Star-Chart Disk.

Instantly, a powerful aura swept out from his body, the pressure of Golden Core Level cultivator.

The sudden strengthening of their opponent clearly left the Ironblood Hound bewildered.

After some hesitation, the Fierce Beasts ' violent nature prevailed. They formed a hunting party, with twenty Ironblood Hounds at the rear, responsible for unleashing Law Technique to target Yang Tianyou.

The thirty Ironblood Hounds in front were divided into five groups, surrounding Yang Tianyou Fengling.

The battle was about to begin. Yang Tianyou's eyes gleamed with golden light as he felt the powerful force surging within him, and his previous seriousness vanished.

Clang!~

Great White Heavenly Blade!

This technique, refined by Yang Tianyou from the best of many sword Law Techniques, has long since reached the Tier 2 Supreme-Grade.

Even now, it seems to be developing Divine Ability powers.

Yang Tianyou believed that once his cultivation broke through to the Golden Core, the Great White Heavenly Blade would definitely evolve into a true Divine Ability, at which point the power of this blade technique would skyrocket.

Brush!!

The brilliant white -Golden Blade Light appeared and disappeared in a flash, rising and falling rapidly, carrying rich starlight and mixed with the sharpness of Geng Metal, forming a semi-circle, and slashing fiercely at the oncoming Ironblood Hounds.

Tear!!

It was a full-force strike completely comparable to that of a cultivator in the Early Golden Core. With a single strike, severed limbs flew through the air, and the blood, shimmering with a faint light, was still clearly visible even under the shroud of Black Fog.

One strike, and four Ironblood Hounds are dead!

Seeing this, the remaining Ironblood Hound were not afraid at all; instead, they were stimulated into even greater frenzy by the blood of their companions.

They are called Ironblood Hound because of their exceptionally ferocious nature and their relentless, ruthless determination to kill their enemies.

Clang!!

The blade flashed again as Yang Tianyou charged forward, his surging blade energy condensing into a three-zhang-high Tornado Storm around him.

Storm swept through, blades flashed, and after the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, all fifty Ironblood Hounds perished.

Call!!

The Black Fog continued to surge. Theoretically, this level had no end; as long as one could persevere, the battle could continue indefinitely.

Hundreds of Ironblood Hounds surged out of the Black Fog. This time, they were not only at the Foundation Establishment Late Stage, but twenty Ironblood Hounds combined had reached the Foundation Establishment Great Perfection.

"This time, focus on defense. None of you should stray more than five zhang from my side, especially Yuan Ba, stop your killing spree!"

With a hint of unease, Yang Tianyou, wielding his knife in both hands, Starlight a surprise attack under the cover of an invisible force.

Laugh!!

A Foundation Establishment Late Stage Ironblood Hound was beheaded, and the pungent smell of blood drove the other Ironblood Hounds into a frenzy.

Hundreds of pairs of scarlet eyeballs, each as large as a fist, appeared and disappeared in the Black Fog. Putting everything else aside, the sheer terror of this atmosphere was enough to terrify some Qi Refining cultivators.

Roar!!

The lead Ironblood Hound roared and vanished instantly, reappearing less than ten feet away from Yang Tianyou and his companions.

This is a powerful, Ironblood Hound with the strength of a Foundation Establishment Great Perfection. Even against False Core Cultivator, it can hold its own for quite some time.

Boom!!

Like a raging torrent crashing down, Yang Tianyou and his four beasts transformed into sturdy reefs, stubbornly resisting the impact of the torrent.

The fierce battle lasted for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Of the hundred Ironblood Hounds on the field, only seventy-eight remained. Their killing efficiency plummeted, while the danger they faced increased exponentially.

A large gash was cut open in Fengling's abdomen, with very obvious bite marks.

A hideous bloodstain appeared on Yuan Ba's right shoulder, running down to his chest. Through the bloodstain, one could even see his still-beating heart.

Ruoqing the worst; both pairs of wings were broken off, feathers flying everywhere, and a bloody wound was cut open on her slender neck.

Only Black and White fared slightly better, but they too suffered serious injuries; one eye was closed, and black blood flowed from it.

Meanwhile, Yang Tianyou's Great White Blood Armor was tattered and worn.

His body was covered with crisscrossing wounds.

The gushing blood almost turned him into a blood-soaked figure.

Only those bright eyes still burned with fierce fighting spirit.

But now, he knows he can't continue fighting.

If it weren't for the Star-Chart Disk constantly drawing life force from the two Third Tier Spirit Beasts to restore itself, he and the other four Spirit Beasts, including Fengling, would definitely have perished.

The fourth wave is at least five times more difficult than the third wave.

Once this number is reached, the Ironblood Hound's group combat power has been fully unleashed.

Yang Tianyou was certain that even a true Early Golden Core cultivator wouldn't have done any better than them.

"I request to exit the level!"

As he spoke loudly, he used his Spiritual Power to destroy the White Tiger Mark on the back of his hand.

This mark will automatically generate after entering the four levels on the left. Once certain conditions are met, the mark can be destroyed to exit the level.

Buzz!!

As he destroyed the mark, a protective shield first appeared, blocking the more than seventy Ironblood Hound from entering.

Then, the dense Array Mark writhed and transformed into Black Fog, pulling the frenzied Ironblood Hound into an unknown place where it vanished.

Then, the light screen reappeared.

Name: Xiu He

Level: Battle Pass Ding

Rating: Extreme

"Call!"

Upon seeing the top-rated evaluation, Yang Tianyou breathed a sigh of relief, but after thinking about it, he felt it was only natural.

If even with this kind of performance, one cannot obtain the highest grade, then the Four Symbols Sect's battle assessment is far too harsh.

A repulsive force appeared, like a pair of gentle, large hands, sending Yang Tianyou and the four Spirit Beasts away.

White Tiger Palace!

A man and four beasts suddenly appeared, their wounded appearance drawing frequent glances from the other Cultivators.

"Another one has passed the test. Judging from his appearance, he must have succeeded!"

"Hmm, this person's strength is not to be underestimated. Just those few Spirit Beasts beside him give me a chill down my spine!"

"Why is he able to bring so many Spirit Beasts into the arena, but I can't? I can't even use the Spirit Beasts I've contracted!"

"That's a regular contract, of course it won't work. This must be Bonded Spirit Beast!"

"Is he Beast Tamer? He doesn't seem like one. Look at the lingering Blade Intent on this person—it's terrifying!"

Ignoring the chatter of the cultivators around him, Yang Tianyou went to a corner and sat down cross-legged by himself.

After giving Ruoqing and the others the Wound-Healing Pills, he also took two Golden Wind Jade Dew Pills.

This is Second-Tier Upper-Grade Wound-Healing Pill, produced by the Gold and Silver Alliance. It is even more effective for cultivators practicing Metal Attribute Cultivation Method.

Within their Sea of Consciousness, the Star-Chart Disk slowly rotated, and a continuous stream of pure life force surged from the bodies of Xuanyin, Zhiming, and Tongming Ming, flowing into Yang Tianyou and the others.

Like a gentle rain irrigating parched land, the injuries of the man and his four beasts healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Before long, they were full of energy again.

In contrast, the three Xuanyin beasts in the Spirit Beast Bag were in a weak state, their Essence Qi depleted.

However, it's not a big deal. They were only drained of their life force, and they weren't injured at all. They just need to take some targeted Spirit Pill and they will recover quickly.
