Chapter 35

But Yun Ling knew that in his current situation, there was simply no time to catch his breath, nor any time to recover from his injuries.

Yun Ling hurriedly circulated his power, adjusting his injuries before facing the three monsters once more.

Yun Ling had to deal with the three monsters first. Otherwise, the only result awaiting him would be being torn apart by them.

"Awoo~ Awoo~" The three monsters let out three incomparably shrill howls, then pounced on Yun Ling.

At that moment, Yun Ling had no time to react at all, much less tend to the wounds on his body. He could only dodge on instinct.

"Awoo~" The three monsters once again let out piercing howls.

Hearing their howls, Yun Ling felt a chill run through his heart. He knew that in this situation, there was no room for hesitation.

Yun Ling could only attack the three monsters with all his strength.

But Yun Ling also knew that these three monsters were exceptionally vicious. One of them, in particular, could even attack with flames, which made him deeply wary.

Yun Ling had no other choice. He could only grit his teeth and press on.

Gritting his teeth, Yun Ling drew his weapon: the Azure Edge Sword.

The Azure Edge Sword was a high-grade treasure artifact. Its hilt was woven from purple-gold vines, while its blade was also woven from purple-gold vines. It looked exceptionally beautiful, and an azure-green gemstone was set into the hilt, making it appear even more mystical.

The Azure Edge Sword also emitted a faint azure aura.

The sword in Yun Ling's hand was precisely a mid-grade treasure artifact.

This Azure Edge Sword was a treasure Yun Ling had obtained only after putting in considerable effort. He had used it to slay many high-level magical beasts and human cultivators.

Under Yun Ling's control, the Azure Edge Sword trembled continuously, letting out a buzzing hum as though it thirsted for battle.

Yun Ling controlled the Azure Edge Sword and launched it at the three monsters.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Whoosh!

Under Yun Ling's control, the Azure Edge Sword moved as fast as lightning, arriving beside the three monsters in the blink of an eye.

When the three monsters saw that Yun Ling had actually delivered himself to them, a bloodthirsty gleam flashed in their eyes, and they attacked him in unison.

Yun Ling snorted coldly. With a shake of the Azure Edge Sword, it transformed into a sky full of sword shadows.

Like a raging storm, the countless sword shadows swept out from around Yun Ling and enveloped the three monsters.

"Hmph, you overestimate yourselves. You actually want to clash head-on with me? What a fool's dream."

Seeing the three monsters charging fiercely at him, Yun Ling spoke with utter disdain.

Just as Yun Ling was focused on battling the three monsters, the brown bear magical beast he had injured earlier recovered from its wounds and came roaring as it pounced toward him.

Faced with the terrifying aura of the brown bear magical beast, Yun Rui, who had been following Yun Ling all along, was scared out of his wits. Without even looking back, he fled down from the mountaintop.

Seeing this, Yun Ling's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly called out to stop him.

"Rui'er, come back!"

But Yun Rui had already been terrified by the sight before him. How could he still listen to Yun Ling? Facing the menacing brown bear magical beast, he scrambled and crawled down from the mountaintop.

But how could Yun Rui, with two legs, outrun a brown bear magical beast with four?

In only a moment, the brown bear magical beast had reached Yun Rui's back.

"Splat!" A long, bloody gash appeared across Yun Rui's back. Blood gushed from the wound, dyeing his clothes red.

Yun Rui could not help letting out a miserable scream, but it was useless.

Yun Rui could only flee desperately, but no matter what he did, he could not escape the brown bear magical beast's grasp. As death drew ever closer, his heart filled with terror.

"Haha~ Haha~"

Seeing Yun Rui in such a sorry state, the brown bear magical beast let out a crazed roar and lunged at him.

"Roar!"

"Ah!"

"Ah!"

The brown bear magical beast swatted Yun Rui with one claw, followed by a burst of agonized screams.

Yun Rui's entire body was instantly torn in half by the brown bear magical beast.

The sight was simply too brutal, too bloody.

Even Xiao Ming, who had been hiding in the shadows and wishing for Yun Ling and his disciple to die here, could not bear to look at the gruesome scene and closed his eyes.

Watching Yun Rui be slain before his very eyes by the brown bear magical beast, Yun Ling instantly flew into a rage.

Ignoring the wounds on his body, Yun Ling forced his way through the fierce attacks of the three monsters and leaped onto the brown bear magical beast's back.

Though the brown bear magical beast's back was covered in fur, it was not easy to stand on.

The moment Yun Rui stepped onto the brown bear magical beast, it immediately sensed danger. It whipped its head around and discovered that someone was standing on its back, which sent it into a furious rage.

The brown bear magical beast spun around violently, trying to throw Yun Ling off.

But its attempt failed. Yun Ling was already pressed tightly against the brown bear magical beast's back, his feet firmly planted into its flesh.

Even if the brown bear magical beast used all its strength, it could not shake Yun Ling off.

Not only that, Yun Ling raised the Azure Edge Sword high with both hands and viciously drove it into the brown bear magical beast's back, making it let out a pained roar.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!"

The brown bear magical beast roared furiously, then slammed toward the ground, hoping to smash Yun Ling off its back.

"Hmph! It won't be so easy to throw me off!"

The corners of Yun Ling's mouth lifted slightly, revealing a sinister smile.

Whoosh!

Splat!

The Azure Edge Sword in Yun Rui's hand flashed past, slicing open the brown bear magical beast's skin.

"Aah!!!" The brown bear magical beast let out a mournful cry and then crashed toward the ground.

Bang!

The brown bear magical beast's body smashed heavily into the ground with a tremendous boom, causing the entire valley to tremble.

"Awoo!"

The brown bear magical beast let out an enraged howl and sprang up from the ground.

Unfortunately, before it could rise, another cold flash streaked through the air. This time, the Azure Edge Sword pierced straight through its throat, leaving it no chance of survival. The brown bear magical beast died on the spot.
