The Flute Sounds, the Vicious Beasts Rage, a Life Is Lost
A strange, ferocious beast appeared, with the head of a deer and the body of a snake, a single eye like a fireball, and its entire body was fiery red.
It spread its enormous wings, which blotted out the sky, and flew down. The moment it landed, the earth trembled.
The ferocious beast came to a steady stop under the bamboo where Nan Xunran was. The beasts that had been attacking Yao Nian also stopped and looked up at Nan Xunran.
Yao Nian's face paled, and she exclaimed in shock, "A ferocious beast at the Saint Realm?!"
She suddenly looked up, her beautiful eyes filled with disbelief, Nan Xunran, "What is your cultivation level?!"
The flute music continued, its melodious strains undiminished, as another powerful force swept in from afar, making the surrounding air heavy and oppressive.
Yao Nian's heart skipped a beat, and she flew away.
Nan Xunran's gaze fell gently on her like water, and the flute music suddenly became a little more urgent.
In an instant, space seemed to be torn apart by an invisible giant hand, and Yao Nian, caught off guard, rushed straight into it.
The next moment, she reappeared in front of Nan Xunran.
She quickly turned her head to look at Nan Xunran, only to see him gazing down at the ferocious beasts, playing his flute as if nothing in the world could attract his attention.
At this moment, it should have been the easiest time for Yao Nian to escape. After a brief hesitation, she finally chose to turn around and run away.
Nan Xunran frowned slightly, but his movements did not stop for a moment. The sound waves transformed into sharp blades and slashed outwards. Wherever they went, space shattered and mountains crumbled.
Instantly, countless spatial rifts appeared like a dense spider web, surrounding Yao Nian.
Yao Nian gave Nan Xunran a deep look, a resolute glint in her beautiful eyes. She knew there was no way to escape and that she had no choice but to fight to the death.
Behind her, a tall and majestic phantom slowly emerged, like a demon god from the netherworld.
The phantom was enveloped in light, from which countless hands stretched out, each hand thick and powerful.
Those hands suddenly swung forward, and in an instant, countless short knives flew out, Nan Xunran.
The dagger whistled through the air with a sharp, chilling sound.
Meanwhile, the melodious flute music continued to linger.
A transparent barrier suddenly rose in front of Nan Xunran, radiating light and blocking all the densely packed short knives that were being shot at him.
The short sword struck the barrier with a clanging sound.
The ferocious beasts that had been quietly watching Nan Xunran suddenly seemed to be summoned, letting out a deafening roar and waving their sharp claws as they pounced on Yao Nian.
At this moment, an even more terrifying aura appeared. Accompanied by heavy footsteps, a ferocious beast slowly emerged from the distance.
Its head resembles a lion, with a flowing mane, while a dragon's tail extends from behind, swaying and twisting.
Its claws were hard and powerful; with each step it took, the ground could not withstand its weight, leaving deep craters and kicking up clouds of dust.
Yao Nian was completely stunned, her voice trembling. "A ferocious beast at the Supreme Saint Realm?!"
These two ferocious beasts, exuding terrifying auras, should not have appeared in this small bamboo forest.
Clearly, they were manipulated by the flute music, but Yao Nian had no idea where the music could spread.
Yao Nian's body tensed, her eyes turned bloodshot, and she stared intently at the ferocious beast charging towards her. Instantly, her aura surged, carrying a resolute determination to fight to the death.
The short sword flew back swiftly, its cold light gleaming, its power greatly increased. In the instant of their exchange, it slew several ferocious beasts in succession.
However, the two remaining ferocious beasts possessed an extremely terrifying aura. She swiftly drew her jade hand and pulled out a sharp blade. Her figure was like a gust of wind as she resolutely charged towards the ferocious beast at the Supreme Saint Realm.
Amidst the ethereal and melodious flute music, her movements resembled a sword dance, sharp yet poignant.
The ferocious beast roared furiously, its voice shaking the surrounding area, and a huge claw slammed down on Yao Nian.
Given the vast difference in their cultivation levels, she didn't even have time to react before she was violently slapped away, landing straight in front of another ferocious beast.
The ferocious beast opened its blood-red maw, and in an instant, a gust of wind arose, blowing Yao Nian away.
At this moment, she was covered in wounds, her clothes were torn and tattered. She gritted her teeth and, with the help of the strong wind, used her last bit of strength to propel herself in front of Nan Xunran, and swung her knife at him with all her might.
The flute music stopped, Nan Xunran casually waved his hand to block it. There was a crisp collision sound as the short sword struck the Seven Kill Flute directly.
His expression remained calm and undisturbed, without the slightest ripple. An immense and unparalleled pressure surged and spread from the flute, touching Yao Nian's hand holding the knife.
Immediately afterwards, her arm twisted uncontrollably, and at the break, only bone remained attached to a layer of frayed flesh.
Yao Nian was already on the verge of death, and even her faint cries of pain were choked in her throat and could not be uttered.
Her face was ashen, as she fell straight down from the sky, crashing heavily to the ground and raising a cloud of dust.
