Three Magical Beasts Join the Fight, Turning the Tide

"You three, hold that bastard back for me. Just stall him for a quarter of an hour!"

The Amethyst Winged Lion King roared, then jerked its chin toward Xiao Tianci.

At once, the expressions of the three magical beasts eased.

As long as the Amethyst Winged Lion King did not ask them to stop that Dou Emperor woman, it was fine. Otherwise, their lives might truly be lost here.

Although the black-and-white wings behind Xiao Tianci gave them no less pressure, they still had some confidence if all they needed to do was keep him occupied.

"Teacher, who do you think can win now?" Xiao Yan could not help asking.

Seeing the situation take such a sharp turn, Xiao Yan could not help worrying for the two people in the sky.

"These three ferocious beasts will not be able to stop that young man for long," Yao Lao said calmly.

"Despicable humans, you shall all remain here forever today!"

As Xiao Yan and Yao Lao spoke, a lion's roar carrying barely suppressed fury burst from the enormous jaws.

Then, the violet light around the Amethyst Winged Lion King's body grew increasingly brilliant.

A moment later, that intense radiance seemed on the verge of overwhelming even the setting sun at the horizon!

"It's getting serious!" Everyone present, human and beast alike, understood what was happening.

Seeing the intense violet light emerge from the Amethyst Winged Lion King's body, the three massive magical beasts all changed expression and instinctively wanted to retreat.

But remembering the task the Amethyst Winged Lion King had given them, they could only brace themselves and block Xiao Tianci's path.

"You three, have you decided how you want to die?" Xiao Tianci asked calmly, waving the longsword in his hand. A trace of killing intent seeped into his voice.

One of the three magical beasts resembled a wolf. Its fur was snow-white, and a crystal like a green gemstone glittered at the center of its brow.

Another resembled an ape, with thick, powerful arms. The muscles on those arms bulged, giving off a sense of limitless strength. If someone were struck solidly by those enormous arms, the result would likely be miserable.

The final magical beast resembled a black bear, crouched low on the ground. It was the largest of the three, even faintly approaching the size of the Amethyst Winged Lion King.

With every step it took, the ground seemed to tremble.

That wolf-like magical beast was the strongest of the three, having just entered the Dou Wang realm. The other two were both Dou Ling.

"Oh, right. I forgot that you three beasts can't speak." Xiao Tianci suddenly smiled.

Then, he raised the longsword in his hand.

A swift battle would be safer.

After all, he was not sure how long Yun Yun could hold on over there.

The Green Emperor Longevity Art within Xiao Tianci's body circulated madly.

Dou Qi continuously surged from his dantian, all of it pouring into the longsword.

The sword in his hand was only an ordinary longsword. It now seemed unable to bear the strain, letting out a series of buzzing hums as it neared its limit.

Fine cracks had even begun spreading across the blade.

"It's about to break, but before it does, it can still strike once."

Xiao Tianci spoke calmly.

He could feel that the blade was about to snap. Only the support of his Dou Qi barely maintained its current shape.

A hint of anger surfaced in the eyes of the three magical beasts.

Clearly, Xiao Tianci pointing a sword on the verge of breaking at them made them feel slighted.

Though they were indeed not as powerful as the Amethyst Winged Lion King, they were not opponents that a mere broken sword could handle!

The three magical beasts exchanged glances.

Then, as if they understood one another's thoughts, they let out a furious roar in perfect coordination.

The green crystal on the wolf-like magical beast's forehead began glowing faintly. Soon after, a rather terrifying force rapidly gathered atop that emerald.

Before long, a green pillar of energy formed and shot out at high speed, its target unmistakably Xiao Tianci.

The energy pillar carried boundless force, and faint rumbles could even be heard from within it.

Meanwhile, the ape-like and bear-like magical beasts charged rapidly toward Xiao Tianci, making the earth tremble.

As it charged, blood-colored ripples emerged over the ape-like beast's enormous arms. A faint bloody stench spread through the air, while its entire arm swelled by another size. It had already seemed terrifying enough, but now it was even more exaggerated.

It threw a vicious punch at Xiao Tianci, accompanied by the sound of tearing wind.

That fist looked almost as large as Xiao Tianci himself.

The contrast was enough to make one's heart pound in terror.

As for the bear-like magical beast, it pushed off with both legs and leaped high into the air.

Its entire body turned pitch-black at that moment.

Dense energy wrapped around its body, making it appear indestructible.

Hanging in the sky like a small mountain, it carried the force of ten thousand jun, blocking out the setting sun!

It had actually turned its own body and weight into a weapon, crashing fiercely down toward Xiao Tianci.

Seeing this, Xiao Yan could not help opening his mouth.

The three magical beasts attacking at the same time truly gave off a sense that there was nowhere to evade. Such power could not be underestimated!

Yet Xiao Tianci's expression did not change in the slightest.

He merely held the longsword level before him.

Within his tranquil, unruffled eyes were reflected the green energy pillar, the blood-red giant fist, and the mountain-like body.

Then, he swung an utterly unremarkable slash.

"One strike, Immortal Kneel."

It was as though light had appeared between heaven and earth.

Where the sword passed, even space itself seemed about to be severed.

Sword Qi surged with razor-sharp force, and flickering light filled the air.

After the sword was swung, its edge expanded at incredible speed.

It seemed that everyone heard the ringing cry of a sword.

Feeling the sword edge, the three magical beasts showed expressions of intensely human terror.

The fur across their bodies stood on end instinctively.

They wanted to run, but it was clearly too late.

Elsewhere.

The strange change in the Amethyst Winged Lion King was naturally noticed by Yun Yun as well.

Feeling the strange energy suddenly churning through heaven and earth, her expression grew grave. Within several yards around her, fierce winds began howling.

Violet light enveloped this stretch of sky and earth.

After a brief period of gathering power, that violet radiance abruptly contracted.

In the blink of an eye, it compressed into a deep-violet pillar of light only about half a foot wide.

Vast energy radiated from the pillar.

The entire valley began trembling faintly at that moment.
