Solving

Wang Daoyuan was preparing to take out a Tier Two Talisman when he saw three people approaching from the Li family's side. All three were at the ninth level of Qi Refining. The one in front smiled and said, "Fellow Daoists of the Wang family, fear not. We've come to help!"

Wang Daoyuan immediately responded, "Thank you, three fellow Daoists. Please help us hold off two Demonic Beasts so my two elder uncles can rest."

The cultivator from the Li family said again, "No need to be polite. The three of us can hold off three Demonic Beasts. The rest are up to you."

"Thank you!" Wang Daoyuan cupped his fists in gratitude.

The three from the Li family took on three Demonic Beasts. The other four uncles were all a little over a hundred years old, with over a decade left before their lifespan limit. They hadn't yet shown significant Blood Essence depletion. Facing only four Demonic Beasts, protected by the Golden Armor Talisman, and with the support of Twelfth Uncle Wang Zhiming, they could already guarantee they wouldn't lose.

Wang Daoyuan stopped scattering Talismans and continued to look for opportunities to help Wang Daoxing quickly finish off his opponent. The five uncles didn't have any particular strengths in combat. Even if he found opportunities for them, they lacked the ability to kill Demonic Beasts.

Wang Shouye's cultivation technique was water-attribute, emphasizing a steady, continuous flow. Against enemies of the same level, the most suitable tactic was attrition. Although he could unleash a burst of power to instantly kill an opponent, he would have little combat effectiveness left afterward. Running out of spiritual power on the battlefield was very dangerous.

Even though water overcame fire in the five-element cycle, giving Wang Shouye an advantage, it was still very difficult to kill a Blazing Lion in a short time.

Wang Daoxing, however, was different. His destructive power was quite formidable. The black ape from before, the recently deceased Golden-Eyed Spirit Monkey, and the brown bear currently taking a beating all proved this.

Helping Wang Daoxing quickly finish off his opponent was the most reliable choice.

Wang Daoxing swung his mace, leaped high, and smashed it down towards the brown bear's head. Although the brown bear wasn't clumsy, the mace was faster. It was unlikely to dodge.

The brown bear landed on its hind legs, raised its front paws, and took the blow head-on. If this strike had landed on a human cultivator of the same level, it would have undoubtedly shattered bones and burst the skull. However, the brown bear had thick skin and hard bones. Taking the blow head-on only meant its paws would hurt for a while.

The brown bear assumed a defensive posture, focusing all its attention on the mace. This gave Wang Daoyuan an excellent opportunity for a sneak attack.

He drew out a Golden Sword Talisman, timed it with the mace's descent, and activated it. The small golden sword shot directly towards the brown bear's lumbar spine and pierced it a moment before the mace landed.

Before the brown bear could feel the pain in its waist, the mace smashed down. The brown bear exerted all its strength to resist the mace, but suddenly found its lower body unresponsive.

For both humans and terrestrial Demonic Beasts, power originated from the ground. With its lower body unresponsive, the brown bear couldn't exert half its strength. Under Wang Daoxing's powerful blow, it was immediately sent sprawling to the ground. Its head was protected by its two front paws, so it didn't immediately suffer a fatal blow.

Wang Daoxing swung his mace and landed several more blows. The brown bear, on its back with all four limbs in the air, was completely out of the fight.

After Wang Daoxing dealt with the brown bear, he took on another Demonic Beast from the four uncles' side. With Wang Daoyuan's help, he quickly finished it off.

In half an hour, except for the Blazing Lion, all the Demonic Beasts the Wang family was fighting were eliminated.

The four uncles, all over a hundred years old, were still far from achieving Nirvana, but they were, after all, elderly. Fighting a group of Demonic Beasts for half a day had severely depleted their stamina and spiritual power. They had no interest in continuing to tease the Blazing Lion and all sat down on the spot to recover their spiritual power.

Wang Daoxing, carrying his mace, went to the battlefield where the Blazing Lion was fighting the Water Dragon.

At this moment, the effect of Wang Daoyuan's few Rain Transformation Talismans had just worn off. The Blazing Lion could finally counterattack the Water Dragon. It fully unleashed its flames, trying to break free from the Water Dragon.

How could Wang Daoyuan let it succeed? He once again produced three Rain Transformation Talismans and threw them towards the sky above the Blazing Lion's head.

The flames on the Blazing Lion, which had just begun to show promise, encountered heavy rain again. Only a thin layer remained, and it was once again suppressed by the Water Dragon.

Seeing this, Wang Daoxing swung his mace, ready to strike. Wang Daoyuan immediately affixed a Earth Armor Talisman to him. A phantom layer of earthy yellow armor enveloped his entire body.

The Golden Armor he was already wearing had dimmed significantly. It couldn't withstand even a casual blow from a peak-tier one Demonic Beast. Furthermore, the Blazing Lion was a fire-attribute Demonic Beast, while the Golden Armor Technique was a metal-attribute spell. Fire overcomes metal, so the defensive power of the Golden Armor Talisman was greatly reduced against fire-attribute spells.

The Earth Armor Technique, on the other hand, was an earth-attribute spell. The only element that could counter earth was wood, which was the weakest in terms of attack power among the five elements. Earth was the best defensive attribute.

The price of the Earth Armor Talisman was slightly higher than the Golden Armor Talisman, and their defensive effects were similar. In the absence of fire-attribute opponents, the Golden Armor Talisman offered better value. Therefore, Wang Daoyuan had given the defensive Talismans to his clansmen as Golden Armor Talismans.

The Blazing Lion was, after all, of the same tier as Wang Shouye and possessed a special bloodline. Although Wang Shouye had the upper hand, he couldn't completely incapacitate the opponent like he did with the tiger earlier. The Blazing Lion was only hindered in its movements; it still had the ability to counterattack.

As soon as Wang Daoxing approached the Blazing Lion, he was hit by a fireball. If the defensive spell on him were still Golden Armor, he would likely be injured by now.

Upon being hit by the fireball, the Earth Armor only flickered and dimmed slightly. To break the phantom armor, at least three more attacks of similar intensity would be needed.

However, the Blazing Lion wouldn't get that chance. It was already at a disadvantage, and with Wang Daoyuan's Rain Transformation Talismans, it was in a suppressed state. It then desperately spat out a fireball, trying to repel Wang Daoxing.

This gave the Water Dragon an opportunity. The Blazing Lion was now tightly entangled by the Water Dragon, struggling to even move. The dignified peak-tier one Demonic Beast could only be slaughtered.

Wang Daoxing was not polite. He swung his mace and began to smash it indiscriminately. Before long, the Blazing Lion also breathed its last.

The Blazing Lion had awakened a natural spell, making it exceptionally talented among its kind, with its ascension to a tier two Demonic Beast imminent. It had never expected to be bludgeoned to death by a human at the eighth level of Qi Refining.

All seven of the Wang family's Demonic Beasts were eliminated. Only two uncles had suffered significant spiritual power depletion. There were no casualties. Wang Daoyuan ordered everyone to quickly recover their spiritual power, as the next wave of Demonic Beasts could arrive at any moment.

He himself went to help the three Li family cultivators deal with their opponents. After all, the Li family cultivators had kindly come to help. Although their combat power was a bit lacking, and they couldn't finish off their opponents in half a day, it wasn't appropriate for him to stand by and watch while his helpers were in a tough fight.

The three Li family cultivators were also at the ninth level of Qi Refining, matching the three Demonic Beasts. However, they didn't have the same level-surpassing strength as Wang Shouye or Wang Daoxing, nor were they as wealthy as Wang Daoyuan. Facing Demonic Beasts of the same level, they hadn't gained an advantage.

Wang Daoyuan also didn't have the leisure to search for the Demonic Beasts' weaknesses. Moreover, these three Li family cultivators had mediocre combat effectiveness, making it difficult to force out the Demonic Beasts' vulnerabilities. He simply resorted to a barrage of Talismans. He scattered over twenty attack Talismans of various types, injuring the three Demonic Beasts, either lightly or severely.

The three from the Li family finally gained the upper hand. After a quarter of an hour, with Wang Daoyuan's assistance, all three Demonic Beasts were slain.
