Strike When It's Time to Strike

"Demon Tamer?"

Shang Yunhai recognized the person's background at a glance.

Unlike ordinary beast tamers who raise pets, Demon Tamers are a branch of secret technique masters. They can plant a soul-refined mark into a demon beast when it is still young. After the demon beast grows up, its combat power may be much stronger than the Demon Tamer's, but because of this mark, it will always be under their control.

Some high-level Demon Tamers can even directly project their will into the demon beast's body and fight using that more powerful physique.

Some demon beasts may take hundreds or even thousands of years to mature. If the Demon Tamer who planted the mark doesn't live to see it grow, they can pass the mark down to their descendants.

Therefore, Demon Tamers are extremely rare in the world, but they often produce eccentric individuals whose combat power is far higher than their own realm. Once encountered, they are often very troublesome.

Even someone a major realm higher than him would be unwilling to face a Demon Tamer head-on.

And this black-robed figure, who had arrived filled with rage, was driving three extremely ferocious demon beasts to charge forward.

"Roar—"

On the left, a giant silver-gray wolf with iron-like mane, let out a bloodthirsty howl. Its pair of blood-red eyes flashed with cold light. With two leaps, it crossed the hundred-zhang courtyard and pounced.

On the right, a large bat, completely black and as tall as a person, was exceptionally fast. It flashed and was already close.

In the middle was a male lion with four wings on its back, looking imposing and incredibly terrifying.

Wen Yifan and Shang Yunhai didn't say a word. They leaped up and met the charge.

The great battle erupted suddenly.

Liang Yue, with a flash, temporarily avoided the main battlefield.

It wasn't that he was afraid; the level of this battle was a bit too high for him. He couldn't even determine the realms of the combatants.

Before he could clearly see the situation on the field, he wouldn't rashly intervene, as it would be more likely to cause trouble.

For now, there were only two words he needed to do: believe.

Shang Yunhai soared into the air, and in mid-air, his form suddenly changed. His entire body greatly expanded, letting out a beast king-like roar: "Roar!"

When he landed, he had already transformed into a half-beastman. His muscular body collided with the giant wolf. Although his size was still much smaller, his strength was not inferior in the slightest.

Boom—

Facing the giant wolf's pounce, he met it with both fists, actually holding it off head-on, and with a burst of strength, he even sent the giant wolf flying into the air!

The giant wolf rolled three times on the ground, making a series of thuds and crashes, crushing a large section of the outer wall.

"Come on—" Shang Yunhai roared, his right fist pounding his chest fiercely, making loud thumping sounds.

Whoa.

Liang Yue couldn't help but grin.

This Brother Shang usually seemed gentle and refined, looking like an honest person who wouldn't get angry even if someone insulted his parents. But once he entered combat mode, he was this wild?

Even the giant wolf was startled by Shang Yunhai's ferocity and hesitated for a moment. The black-robed figure in mid-air's expression tightened, his eyes flashing with sharp light, seemingly urging it on.

"Roar—" Only then did the giant wolf's eyes turn blood-red again, and it pounced forward.

Swish! Bang!

Shang Yunhai soared into the air, delivering a flying kick that directly sent the giant wolf's jaw upward, a pained whimper escaping its throat.

Liang Yue was hiding behind a pillar, observing the battlefield, when he suddenly noticed a large shadow covering his head.

Liang Yue looked up in confusion, then was both surprised and amused.

It turned out that the massive silver-guarding demon beast had been startled awake at some point. It was now in the same posture as him – one paw wrapped around the pillar, trying to use it to conceal its body, its round head looking bewildered, its large eyes darting around, the look in its eyes seeming to say... Baby is terrified.

"Heh," Liang Yue chuckled.

So this ferocious-looking big guy was also a coward.

Shang Yunhai had the upper hand on his side.

Wen Yifan, on the other hand, was fighting two opponents at once, raising her hand and unleashing a sky full of sword light.

Mystic Sect Myriad Swords Technique!

The sky full of sword light directly pierced through the blood bat. The demon bat's body dispersed, turning into a wisp of ethereal blood mist.

And the seemingly powerful flying male lion was directly cut into countless pieces, a shower of blood raining down.

Instant kill!

It was simply terrifying.

This woman, ranked among the top of the Young Phoenix Ranking, was not someone to be trifled with. Even a Demon Tamer who had cultivated for many years would feel a jolt in their heart.

The Demon Tamer's main body was originally floating in mid-air. The myriad swords swept past like clouds, directly knocking him down from the ground.

He formed hand seals, urging his cultivation, and reformed the demon bat's shape.

And this time, he drove it with full concentration. The demon bat's body glowed intensely, transforming into a brilliant blood-red sun wheel!

"Die!" the Demon Tamer roared, and the blood sun wheel smashed towards Wen Yifan.

But Wen Yifan didn't indulge him at all. She raised her hand and amplified her sword light to the width of a door panel. A giant sword hung in the air, and with one strike, it exploded the blood sun.

The Demon Tamer's heart trembled. With a twist of his hands, the blood sun exploded with a bang!

The demon bat self-destructed, turning into a sticky blood mist that trapped Wen Yifan.

Although it couldn't injure her, it could delay her for a moment.

After a brief clash, the Demon Tamer made a wise decision.

He couldn't win.

Run!

This girl is ruthless!

If he continued to fight, he would surely be in trouble.

The blood mist provided a slight delay. He turned to rise with the wind, but before he could take flight, he saw a flash of dazzling blade light!

It turned out that just now, after observing the situation for a moment, Liang Yue suddenly had a bold idea.

He had heard that Mystic Sect practitioners had strong souls but weak bodies. Once a martial artist got close, even if their cultivation was much higher, there would be great danger.

Why not test it out?

When it's time to strike, strike!

He happened to have the long blade he had taken from the man in black earlier, and it felt quite handy to use. He immediately drew the blade and charged forward fiercely.

At this moment, the Demon Tamer was fully engaged with Wen Yifan, with dozens of feet separating them.

A Second Realm martial artist could cover a distance of dozens of feet in the blink of an eye!

Generally speaking, Demon Tamers were a type of Mystic Sect practitioner, and their physical bodies didn't grow much with their realm. Even high-realm Mystic Sect practitioners would still be very fragile.

However, when the Demon Tamer landed, he didn't pay attention to Liang Yue's position.

Because he had never taken this Second Realm martial artist seriously.

Even when he saw Liang Yue actually charging towards him, the Demon Tamer didn't feel any fear. Instead, a cold smile appeared at the corner of his lips.

A mere Second Realm crude martial artist, utterly foolish, unable to fly or release qi externally.

He can't even get within ten feet of me.

He didn't care at all and was about to fly up into the air!

But what the Demon Tamer didn't expect was that when he was still ten feet away, Liang Yue's body and steps suddenly twisted in an unbelievable way. His entire body traced a distorted arc of afterimages.

In an instant, the blade light was swung in front of him.

So fast.

What kind of movement technique is this?

While this question flashed through the Demon Tamer's mind, the Second Realm martial artist had already closed in to within three feet of him. One more step forward, and the long blade would be able to inflict damage on him.

Snap.

In his panic, the Demon Tamer still reacted. He flipped his hand and conjured a jade talisman, which he snapped.

Crack! A wall of earth rose from the ground, blocking the space between Liang Yue and him. As long as this wall provided a moment of separation, he would have time to form hand seals again and ride the wind.

Even if this martial artist is a little strange, he's still only in the Second Realm. His innate power is insufficient, he can't possibly break through my... huh?

As this thought crossed his mind, he heard a boom. Several powerful blade lights actually broke through the wall conjured by the talisman, not even managing to slow them down.

This Second Realm martial artist actually has such a powerful blade technique?

The torrent of blade light sweeping out was precisely the Hu Family Blade Technique.

And Liang Yue, who had burst through the wall, was still one foot away from the Demon Tamer. Under the other party's horrified gaze, he swung his blade light again.

Whoosh—

Powerful blade qi attacked from a distance.

Mystic Sect practitioners, who were never known for their physical bodies, had no other option at this moment but to use their last resort.

Had he not been at his wit's end today, he would never have used this move...

The Mystic Master raised his hands high, then suddenly roared like spring thunder, shouting, "Spare my life, brave hero!"

Liang Yue's blade struck without holding back, blade energy crisscrossing!

At this critical moment, the opponent's cultivation was far higher than his own, and this incredibly precious close-quarters opportunity allowed no room for him to go easy!

The Demon Tamer was struck squarely in the chest by this blade energy, sent flying backward, blood splattering on the spot!

Over there, Wen Yifan, wrapped in sword light, had just broken through the thick blood mist. Her gaze swept over and saw this scene.

Liang Yue charged forward, a flash, a break, a blade slash!

Seeing the techniques he displayed, her eyes immediately shone with brilliance!

Good morning.
