One Man and One Roc Battle a Thousand Demons

Dozens of feet in the air.

Seeing that the thorn vines he had conjured using his Natal Spirit Plant were working, Ling Pengyun, riding the Wind Shadow Peng, was overjoyed.

He patted Wind Shadow Peng, who was sitting down, and greeted him.

"Wind Shadow, attack with all your might those four hundred or so demonic beasts whose legs and bodies are bound in the horde of Demon Beast Demon Beast."

When Wind Shadow Peng saw that its Master had finally given the order to attack, a fiery feeling surged in its heart. Although it was Spirit Beast, its nature was still bloodthirsty.

A flash of azure light appeared around it, and dozens of inch-long wind blades quickly condensed, striking down at the more than four hundred Demon Beast bound by thorn vines in the dense forest below.

These dozens of wind blades were incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, they blasted into the more than four hundred Demon Beast.

In just one exchange, more than ten weaker Early-Stage Qi Training Refining Demon Beast were killed by dozens of wind blades.

Upon witnessing this scene, Wind Shadow Peng's eyes gradually turned blood red.

The speed at which he unleashed the wind blades also increased slightly.

Ling Pengyun, seated atop the Wind Shadow Peng, did not stand idly by. Although he had to control the Azure Steel Mother-Child Flying Swords, activate the Mixed Rock Shield to support the Dharma Shield Light Screen, and support the Primal Water Light Screen, he still had a considerable amount of Divine Sense available.

As for the thorny vines that were wrapped around the more than four hundred Demon Beast in the Lin Zhong below, they had already firmly trapped those Demon Beast, so there was no need to expend much more Divine Sense.

Relying on his spare Divine Sense, Ling Pengyun quickly formed hand Hand Seals and cast First-Tier Superior-Grade Water Blade Technique while he needed to cast a Primal Water Technique Law Technique every three breaths to repair the defensive light barrier around him that had been shattered by the spells of the Demon Beast in the dense forest below.

In the blink of an eye, he conjured a huge water blade that was ten feet long.

"Go." As soon as the water blade was formed, Ling Pengyun waved his hand and struck down into the dense forest below, targeting the more than four hundred Demon Beast bound by thorn vines among the nearly one thousand Demon Beast.

Although this water blade is only First-Tier Superior-Grade Law Technique, when cast by Ling Pengyun, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, it is several times more powerful than when cast by an ordinary Qi Training Completion cultivator.

The powerful physiques of those Qi Training Demon Beast were as thin as paper in front of this water blade.

The twenty-odd Qi Training Demon Beast blocking the way were directly cut in two by this water blade.

After achieving this feat, the remaining power of the water blade was exhausted.

Ling Pengyun had already Spell Cultivator to the Consummation Realm. The next moment, he cast another water blade and blasted it towards the horde of Demon Beast.

In just about fifty breaths, more than two hundred weaker early and mid-stage Qi Refining Demon Beast were killed by the water blades and wind blades unleashed by Ling Pengyun Wind Shadow Peng.

Despite his great achievements, Ling Pengyun's spiritual power was exhausted, leaving him with only about 20% of his original strength.

Previously, he had already consumed nearly half of his spiritual power when he channeled his spiritual energy into his Natal Spirit Plant, the Thorn Vine, to create the Thorn Vine Seed.

During the battle, one must simultaneously cast defensive Law Technique to withstand the Law Technique attacks from the nearly one thousand Demon Beast beasts below, control the Azure Steel Mother-Child Flying Swords to fight the Black Flame Tiger, and conjure up Water Blade Technique to attack.

Under these circumstances, Ling Pengyun, a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, was able to deplete his energy so quickly.

"We've only delayed these Demon Beast for less than half an incense stick's time; that's too short a time."

"I can only take the Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Returning Pill that the Third Grandfather gave me three months ago when he left the Clan Mountain to guard West Yang Market Town, to restore some spiritual power and hold off those Demon Beast below for a while longer."

Ling Pengyun sensed that his spiritual energy was running low, and after estimating the time remaining, a helpless expression appeared on his face.

He waved his hand and patted the Storage Bag at his waist, summoning a medicine bottle. He opened the bottle cap, poured out a blue pill, and put it into his mouth.

Once the pill entered his stomach, Ling Pengyun slightly circulated his Cultivation Method to refine it. A large amount of relatively mild Liquid Spiritual Power surged out from the pill and filled Ling Pengyun's meridians.

Under Ling Pengyun's control of his cultivation Cultivation Method, the large amount of pure Liquid Spiritual Power transformed from the pill was sent into his nearly depleted Dantian.

In an instant, the effects of the pill were exhausted, and the Liquid Spiritual Power in Ling Pengyun's Dantian also recovered to more than 90%.

The efficacy of this Spirit Returning Pill surprised Ling Pengyun, who was taking Second Rank Low Grade Spirit Returning Pill for the first time.

However, this was a time for battle, so he dared not be distracted and quickly regained his composure.

With sufficient spiritual power as support, Ling Pengyun first Hand Seals to cast three Primal Water Technique to fill the gaps in the defense.

He then Hand Seals the "Water Serpent Technique," the only one among the ordinary Law Technique he had mastered to the second Consummation Realm.

A month ago, Ling Pengyun had already comprehended this Law Technique to the Consummation Realm.

The technique was not used earlier because it is of a second rank and requires a great deal of spiritual energy to execute.

In an instant, Ling Pengyun condensed a blue Law Seals covered with snake-shaped runes.

As soon as the Law Seals formed, a burst of spiritual light flashed, and it quickly transformed into a water snake three zhang long.

"Go." Ling Pengyun raised his hand and slapped the water snake away.

The water snake seemed to be alive, emitting a roar from its mouth.

A sudden glint of light appeared in his lifeless eyes, and his body swayed rapidly in the air, propelling him toward the remaining two hundred or so Qi Training Demon Beast bound by thorny vines in the Lin Zhong below, which Ling Pengyun had locked onto with his Divine Sense.

The enormous water snake rampaged through the two hundred or so Qi Training Demon Beast.

Because the two hundred-plus Qi Training Demon Beast were all bound by thorny vines, making it difficult for them to move, they could only continuously reinforce their defensive Law Technique.

But how could these defensive Law Technique Qi Refining in the early and middle stages of Qi Refining possibly withstand the water snake conjured by a second-tier Law Technique?

The enormous water snake crushed nearly sixty early-to-mid-stage Qi Refining Demon Beast before exhausting its remaining strength.

The horizon.

Ling Pengyun, riding the Wind Shadow Peng, was secretly surprised to see the water snake achieve such a feat.

"The power of a second-tier Law Technique is indeed several times stronger than that of a first-tier Law Technique. The only drawback might be that it consumes too much spiritual energy."

"Even if I were to win in full, I would probably only be able to use this Water Serpent Technique about twenty times."

In order to unleash that Water Serpent Technique, Ling Pengyun had just consumed nearly half of his spiritual power.

Afterwards, Ling Pengyun used three Primal Water Technique to create a light barrier, making up for the defensive deficiencies, and then used the extremely powerful Water Serpent Technique again.

Thirty breaths later, under Ling Pengyun's powerful attack, the more than four hundred Qi Training Demon Beast that had been bound by thorn vines all died at the hands of Ling Pengyun and Wind Shadow Peng.

As a result, Ling Pengyun's spiritual energy in his Dantian was depleted once again.

"Although I didn't hold them off for long, I killed over four hundred Qi Refining Demon Beast Qi Training Demon Beast, halving their strength and weakening Demon Beast as a whole."

"Relying on the First-Tier Superior-Grade Defensive Formation at Xia Zhi Mountain, we can hold off the remaining five hundred or so Qi Training Demon Beast and the Black Flame Leopard for half an hour. By the time Fifteenth Grand-Aunt and the others arrive at Xia Zhi Mountain to provide support, we should be able to barely manage."

Although Ling Pengyun still had Spirit Returning Pill on him, taking multiple Qi Recovery Pill in a short period of time would damage his meridians and Dantian.

He had already accomplished a great deal by going out to Xia Zhi Mountain to block the Demon Beast horde, so there was no need for him to pay such a high price by forcibly consuming the Spirit Returning Pill again to block the Demon Beast horde.

Ling Pengyun made up his mind, glanced at the corpses of more than four hundred Qi Training Demon Beast that had been killed in the dense forest below, and sighed inwardly.

The corpses of those four hundred-odd Demon Beast were in the middle of Demon Beast of them, and unless the entire Demon Beast was wiped out, it would be impossible to take them away.

Ling Pengyun sighed helplessly, and with Divine Sense, he controlled the remaining four hundred or so thorny vines in the dense forest below, binding them to the four legs and bodies of the remaining five hundred or so Qi Training Demon Beast in the Demon Beast beast horde, restricting their movements.

Then, he waved his hand and summoned the two Azure Steel Mother-Child Flying Swords that were fighting the Black Flame Leopard back to his side, storing them in his Storage Bag.

He then gently patted Wind Shadow Peng's head as he sat down, indicating that...

"Wind Shadow, return to Xia Zhi Mountain."

Wind Shadow Peng, who was enjoying the thrill of slaying Demon Beast, had no choice but to give up killing the Demon Beast in the Lin Zhong below when he heard his Master's signal.

While slaying Demon Beast is enjoyable, in Wind Shadow Peng's heart, his Master comes first.

With a flap of its wings, Wind Shadow Peng changed direction and flew swiftly towards Xia Zhi Mountain.

Below, a dense forest.

The Black Flame Leopard at the forefront of the Demon Beast Early-Stage Foundation Establishment, seeing Ling Pengyun fleeing on Wind Shadow Peng after exhausting his energy, intended to chase after him, kill him, and eat him.

The spiritual energy contained within the body of Foundation Establishment Cultivator is a great tonic for Demon Beast.

However, the Black Flame Leopard thought that the remaining five hundred or so Qi Training Stage Demon Beast behind it were all trapped by thorn vines and would be unable to break free in a short time. If it waited for those five hundred or so Qi Training Stage Demon Beast to break free of the thorn vines, it would be impossible to catch up with the extremely fast Wind Shadow Peng in the sky.

Only by pursuing him alone could he possibly catch up with Wind Shadow Peng.

After careful consideration, the Black Flame Tiger, which had already developed intelligence in the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment, immediately gave up its pursuit of Wind Shadow Peng.

This place is human territory, the domain of cultivators.

Even if its cultivation level is as high as Foundation Establishment, it would still be in great danger if it separated from the main force and went to chase after the escaped Ling Pengyun alone.

Under these circumstances, the Black Flame Leopard could only roar angrily in the direction Ling Pengyun had left, in order to vent its anger.

After venting his anger, Black Flame Leopard smelled the bloody stench in the air. Coupled with the fact that he had traveled hundreds of miles without eating during the day, he was hungry and couldn't help but swallow.

It turned around and looked at the corpses of more than four hundred Qi Training Demon Beast that had been killed by Ling Pengyun and Wind Shadow Peng in the battle just now. It walked to the side of a Qi Training Late Stage Refining Demon Beast corpse, opened its blood-red mouth, and began to eat its flesh.

The more than 500 demonic Demon Beast trapped by thorny vines around them, after using various Law Technique to free themselves, saw the Early-Stage Foundation Establishment Black Flame Tiger eating flesh and blood, and no longer concealed their hunger. They all followed suit and ate the flesh and blood of their comrades who had just fought.

In less than half an incense stick's time, the corpses of the more than four hundred Qi Training Demon Beast had all entered the bellies of the Black Flame Leopard and the remaining five hundred Demon Beast.

On the ground, only a bloody mess and some relatively hard bones remained.

After a hearty meal, the Black Flame Leopard, following the faint scent of humans lingering in the air, led the Demon Beast horde forward once more, charging towards Xia Zhi Mountain, where the largest concentration of mortals was located.
