Two Hundred and Sixteen Swords Slay Ten Thousand Beasts-This Is Your Captain's True Strength

The final week of intensive training.

The air in the Sunset Forest smelled different.

Osler was the first to notice something was wrong.

Ghost Leopard's keen senses allowed him to notice the subtle tremors coming from the ground before anyone else.

"Why is the earth trembling?"

Immediately afterwards, Yu Feng descended from the height, his face grim.

"Something's wrong. Large numbers of Soul Beast are running this way from the south, not towards us, but fleeing, as if they're desperately trying to escape."

Groups of ten-year and hundred-year-old Soul Beast passed through the bushes, no longer even avoiding the presence of humans, their eyes filled only with pure fear.

Ye Qing climbed up the tallest ancient tree next to the campsite, stood atop its canopy, and gazed into the distance.

On the horizon, the dense forest was shaking violently.

Hundreds, even thousands, of Soul Beast surged forth from the depths of the Forest like a torrent.

The ground trembled more and more violently, and even the branches of the ancient trees resonated.

"It's a beast tide."

Ye Qing took a deep breath.

Chaos Green Flame erupted around him, enveloping him entirely in a mixture of azure and black flames.

He leaped into the air, and Azure Flame lifted him up into the sky.

On the ground, everyone in the Imperial Fighting Team looked up.

Backlit, the boy, enveloped in Azure Flame, floated above the treetops, looking down at his team.

"Imperial Fighting Team, listen to my command!"

"This is the final lesson of the special training: survive the beast tide!"

The camp fell silent for a second.

"Bring it on! Who's afraid of who!"

With a roar as if drawing his sword, Dugu Yan instantly possessed the Jade Phosphorus Flood Dragon Martial Soul.

"Don't just stand there!"

Dugu Yan quickly switched to command mode, "Avoid direct confrontation with the beast tide; utilize the terrain and the poisonous barrier area for mobile defense!"

"The Shi Brothers are in front, Yu Feng Osler on the flanks, Lingling Ning Rongrong sticking close to me!"

Everyone responded in unison and took their positions.

Ye Qing watched everyone's every move with great interest.

He wanted this beast tide to mark the final stage of this grueling training.

The first to arrive were the ten-year and hundred-year-old miscellaneous Soul Beast.

Although numerous, their age and cultivation level were low, allowing the Imperial Fighting Team to handle them with ease.

The tacit understanding honed over six months of intensive training finally erupted at this moment.

Their teamwork was textbook-perfect.

But the intensity of the beast tide is rapidly escalating.

Thousand-year-old Soul Beast began to appear.

Ironback Scorpion, Shadow Wolf King, Crimson Flame Giant Python... each one was an opponent that had once given them a hard time, and now they were swarming in in droves.

Shi Mo was knocked back three steps by the impact of a thousand-year-old Ironclad Rhinoceros.

"I can't take it anymore!"

The Shi Mo grits its teeth to fill the gap.

"Lingling, prioritize treating the Shi Brothers!"

Dugu Yan's command remained steady, but sweat was already streaming down her forehead uncontrollably.

Just then,

Behind the beast tide, several auras far exceeding the millennium level suddenly approached.

It's Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast!

And there's more than one!

Everyone's face turned deathly pale instantly.

"Enter the poison barrier!"

Ye Qing's voice came from above.

Without hesitation, everyone simultaneously put the antidote pills in their mouths and rushed into the poisonous area.

The emerald green Poison Fog isolated them from the beast horde outside.

Even these dozen or so Soul Beast, each twenty or thirty thousand years old, could only hover at the edge of the poisonous barrier, daring not to step inside.

Yu Feng slumped to the ground, panting heavily. "We're safe..."

But as soon as he finished speaking,

The ground beneath their feet suddenly cracked open!

"Snap!"

Several thick, Purple vines sprouted from the ground at an incredible speed.

"Ah!"

Ye Lingling and Ning Rongrong were entangled in the vines almost simultaneously.

A rope tightened around Ye Lingling's waist.

Another one wrapped around Ning Rongrong's calf and dragged her to the ground.

"Lingling! Ning Rongrong!"

Dugu Yan was the first to rush forward, and the Green Phosphorus Flood Dragon's claws frantically severed the vines.

Yu Feng and Osler attacked simultaneously, but the Shi Brothers used their tortoise shells to protect them.

But the severed vines keep regenerating from the ground, and cannot be completely cut off.

"What happened?! The poison barrier didn't work?!" Yu Feng roared anxiously.

Boom!

The ground suddenly exploded.

A gigantic, terrifying lizard emerged from the ground.

Its yellowish-brown scales were covered with thick layers of rock.

Each step taken by its muscular limbs caused the ground to dent.

This is a 50,000-year-old Earth Dragon Lizard!

Cave-dwelling Soul Beast come from underground, and poison barriers are completely ineffective against them.

Everyone's expression changed completely.

Ye Qing narrowed his eyes slightly high in the sky.

"This is truly an unexpected visitor."

This thing is comparable to the Cave Demon Spider that attacked Tang San and his companions from underground through a poisonous barrier in the original story.

He pressed it down casually.

Azure lotus petals of the Chaos Lotus Prison emerged from the void, trapping the Earth Dragon Lizard in a lotus cage of alternating ice and fire.

At the same time, the Green Lotus Body Protection was activated.

Seventy-two petals of blue lotus bloomed around Dugu Yan and the others, forming a protective light shield that covered all angles.

Under the effect of his first Soul Skill, Green Lotus Three Profound Transformations, Ye Qing's aura suddenly surged.

With a triple boost to all attributes, Azure Flame's control and power soared to their peak.

Ye Qing was not about to underestimate a 50,000-year-old Soul Beast.

One Qi Transforms Three Purities!

Two azure lotus shadows separated from Ye Qing's body and floated side by side in mid-air with his main body.

Three Ye Qing.

The same face, the same aura, the same Chaos Green Flame.

"Brother Ye, help!"

Yu Feng's voice had completely spiraled out of control.

The three Ye Qing simultaneously activated their third Soul Skill.

Seventy-two petals of the Chaos Green Lotus lotus multiplied by three.

Two hundred and sixteen Green Lotus Sword materialized out of thin air.

Each sword, wreathed in Chaos Green Flame, was arranged into a breathtakingly magnificent sword formation under the control of the three Ye Qing.

Ye Qing manipulated a portion of the Green Lotus Sword to transform into a tray, carrying Dugu Yan and the others out of the poisonous barrier and up to a safe area in the sky.

"Fall!"

Two hundred and sixteen Azure Green Lotus Sword crashed to the ground.

Green Lotus Sword Formation!

The sword formation covered the entire area where the Earth Dragon Lizard was located.

Each sword descended, imbued with the chaotic flames of Ice-Fire Duality.

"Roar!!!"

The weakened Earth Dragon Lizard inside the Lotus Prison let out a mournful roar.

But under the devastation of the Lotus Prison and the strangulation of the two hundred and sixteen sword lights, the roar was quickly cut off.

A 50,000-year-old Earth Dragon Lizard, slain!

High in the sky, Dugu Yan and the others looked down at the scorched earth plowed by the Green Lotus Sword Formation and were collectively speechless.

But Ye Qing did not stop there.

His gaze pierced through the sword formation, locking onto the broken Purple vines on the ground that were retracting back into the earth.

"There's one more!"

The Ice and Fire Demon Pupils suddenly activated Dual-Phase Vision.

Ye Qing's field of vision instantly expanded three times with the kit, allowing him to see over a kilometer away.

Simultaneously, thermal imaging and cold source sensing were activated, penetrating the ground, rock strata, and soil.

He "saw" it.

The vines retreated all the way down to a point a kilometer away, several meters underground.

A huge source of life lies dormant there.

A certain plant-type, Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast.

That is the true form of the vine.

"Found you."

A cold smile curled at the corner of Ye Qing's lips.

The three Ye Qing simultaneously raised their right hands.

Three cyan and black fire lotuses simultaneously condensed in the palms of the three people.

The Chaos Green Flame were compressed to an extreme degree, and their energy density climbed to a terrifying limit.

Buddha Fury Fire Lotus, multiplied by three!

The Ice and Fire Demon Pupils Phase Tracking to lock onto the target's coordinates.

Go ahead.

Three fire lotuses shot out simultaneously, heading straight for a place a kilometer away.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

"Boom!!!"

The entire Sunset Forest trembled at that moment.

A kilometer away.

Ice and fire were annihilated.

The earth suddenly rose up!

The three Buddha Fury Fire Lotus were detonated simultaneously.

A dark blue mushroom cloud shot into the sky.

The shockwave from the explosion spread violently outward from the center.

The Soul Beast in the beast tide were blown away and crushed by the shockwaves, and even the Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast mixed in with them were not spared.

The Forest within a radius of 100 meters was razed to the ground.

High in the sky.

The Imperial Fighting Team members were dumbfounded.

"!!!"

They just stared blankly as the enormous mushroom cloud slowly rose a kilometer away, and at the land reduced to scorched earth.

Their captain hovered in mid-air, calmly retrieving the lingering effects of the three fire lotuses.

"Gulp!"

Yu Feng swallowed hard.

"Brother Ye..."

His voice was extremely dry.

"Is he really only... level 50?"
