Chapter 29

Such cultivation would absolutely allow one to swagger through the outside world, but deep within the Magical Beast Mountain Range, there was no shortage of king-tier magical beasts with strength comparable to Dou Huang experts.

Therefore, if circumstances allowed, Yun Ling did not wish to cause too great a disturbance here, lest it trigger a beast tide.

Moreover, even if he could defeat a Dou Wang-level magical beast, he could not guarantee that Yun Rui would emerge unscathed from a pack of magical beasts. After all, within the Magical Beast Mountain Range, many powerful magical beasts were even stronger than ordinary Da Dou Shi.

Even if Yun Rui managed to escape, Yun Ling estimated that he would die from exhausting the yuan energy within his body.

Thus, without absolute confidence, Yun Ling would rather take a risk and give it a try.

Thinking of this, Yun Ling hesitated no longer. His speed suddenly increased as he shot off to one side.

Just after Yun Ling and Yun Rui vanished from where they stood, a black shadow silently appeared in that very spot. Looking in the direction the two had left, it revealed a cold smile. "Hehe! The Misty Cloud Sect's Grand Elder really went out to handle business? To miss such a good opportunity—what a pity!"

The black shadow then turned its head toward the distant forest, its eyes gleaming with intense greed.

In a place as perilous as the Magical Beast Mountain Range, magical beasts were all extremely cunning.

Generally speaking, only magical beasts with strength at the Dou Shi level could survive within the Magical Beast Mountain Range. As for those formidable existences, no humans within the mountain range dared provoke them lightly.

At this moment, Xiao Ming had no idea that Yun Ling had already pursued him into the Magical Beast Mountain Range.

"Hmph, Xiao Ming. Once I catch you, I'll make you suffer!"

A sinister light flashed in Yun Ling's eyes.

"Roar..."

Just then, a furious roar suddenly rang out beside Xiao Ming's ear. He could not help but shudder as he looked up, only to see an enormous black shadow sweep over his head, bringing with it a fierce gust of wind.

The battle between Xiao Ming and the two bear-shaped magical beasts had reached its most intense stage.

The bear-shaped magical beasts radiated powerful dou qi fluctuations. Those fluctuations gave Xiao Yan an inexplicable sense of oppression. Fortunately, the bear-shaped magical beasts had not used any particularly powerful combat techniques, so Xiao Ming had not suffered overly serious injuries.

However, after Xiao Ming severely wounded the two magical beasts, their attacks not only showed no sign of weakening, but instead stirred up their ferocity.

Thus, Xiao Ming was still being forced back step by step.

"Boom..."

After a violent collision, a burst of intense pain immediately shot through Xiao Ming's right arm. Looking down, he saw that the massive claws of a bear-shaped magical beast had torn open his arm. Blood streamed down as his body was sent flying backward.

"Hiss..." Seeing this, Xiao Ming could not help but suck in a breath of cold air.

Had it been any other Da Dou Shi cultivator, they would likely have already been torn to pieces by the bear-shaped magical beasts. Yet Xiao Ming inwardly cursed Seven Baleful Intents.

If Seven Baleful Intents had not kept urging him to obtain more magical beast cores to strengthen himself, he might not have come here at all.

"Rumble..."

At that moment, three wolf-shaped magical beasts pounced out from the forest on the other side. Instantly, the bear-shaped magical beasts seemed to feel that their authority had been challenged, roaring furiously at the three wolf-shaped magical beasts.

The cultivation of these three wolf-shaped magical beasts was not much weaker than that of the bear-shaped magical beasts, but they held the advantage in numbers.

Under the combined assault of the three wolf-shaped magical beasts, the bear-shaped magical beasts suffered severe injuries after one moment of carelessness. Blood flowed from their wounds, dyeing the ground red.

All of this happened in the span of only a few seconds.

And within those brief few minutes.

The two bear-shaped magical beasts could not help but be filled with rage.

The next moment, the two bear-shaped magical beasts abandoned Xiao Ming and turned to charge at the three wolf-shaped magical beasts with furious roars.

"Awooo..."

Seeing the bear-shaped magical beasts charge at them, the three wolf-shaped magical beasts showed no fear. They too roared and met the attack head-on.

In the blink of an eye, both sides began tearing into each other in midair.

Wave after wave of sharp dou qi ripples shot in every direction.

Xiao Ming watched the three wolf-shaped magical beasts desperately fighting ahead, his brows knitting slightly.

These beasts had rather good combat instincts. They even knew how to use their own agility to evade their opponents' attacks.

"Roar!"

At that moment, one bear-shaped magical beast launched an attack directly at one of the wolf-shaped magical beasts.

Another wolf-shaped magical beast seized the opportunity to attack the bear-shaped magical beast that had struck first.

Under the pincer attack of the three wolf-shaped magical beasts, the bear-shaped magical beast immediately began to look somewhat bedraggled.

"Bang!"

A dull impact rang out. Under that powerful force, the bear-shaped magical beast was blasted away.

"Thud..."

The bear-shaped magical beast's body hit the ground with a heavy sound.

However, it had not died, only suffered serious injuries. Yet this only made it even angrier.

"Roar..."

The bear-shaped magical beast let out an enraged howl toward the sky, then climbed back up from the ground and madly fought the remaining two wolf-shaped magical beasts.

The bear-shaped magical beasts truly deserved to be considered rare and powerful magical beasts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Though they were jointly trapped in the center by the three wolf-shaped magical beasts, they forcibly held their ground.

Xiao Ming quickly found a suitable position and hid to one side, observing the changes in the battle.

The combined combat strength of these three wolf-shaped magical beasts was clearly far greater than his own. If he rashly intervened, he would likely die a miserable death.

Xiao Ming was now hiding behind a large boulder, watching the battle with great interest.

He intended to wait until both sides were badly wounded before reaping the benefits.

Moreover, Xiao Ming's target was not merely these bear-shaped magical beasts. He wanted more magical beast cores. Those cores would be enough to allow Xiao Ming to break through to the Dou Ling level.

"Bang!"

A wolf-shaped magical beast slashed the neck of a bear-shaped magical beast with its claws. Blood immediately began pouring out, turning the entire ground crimson.

But such wounds were nothing to a bear-shaped magical beast.

After suffering severe injuries, the bear-shaped magical beast finally erupted completely. Ignoring the pain across its body, it continued fighting the two wolf-shaped magical beasts.

"Awooo..."

"Boom!"

The bear-shaped magical beast's body was once again blasted away, but after landing, it did not stop fighting.
