It seems that the Duck Beast King retreated on its own, causing the beast tide to lose its strong cohesion outside the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary.
Faced with the cultivators' swift counterattack, they began to retreat, finding themselves outmatched.
The black tide surged forth like a tidal wave, its boundless momentum seemingly intent on flattening the Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary in one fell swoop, encircling the area outside the Metal Moat and Boiling Rampart.
Previously, the True Lord instructed Zhu Peizi to go into battle against the beast tide, and Senior Brother He also went along.
At this moment, Xu Long discovered while investigating the scene that the two figures were almost invincible in the beast tide.
Zhu Peizi raised a lance and began to fight the high-level ferocious beast on her own.
He faithfully obeyed his master's orders and single-handedly held off a horde of beasts after entering the battle.
Zhu Peizi knew that as long as she controlled the high-level ferocious beasts within the beast tide, she could block one of its forces.
Therefore, regardless of the situation outside the formation, he always moved among several high-level ferocious beasts.
He wielded the long lance so tightly that it was almost impenetrable, and as it danced among one ferocious beast after another, its purple light was accompanied by several crimson magic seals.
Zhu Peizi's rise to power within the beast tide meant she held nothing back in the battle.
As the spears lashed out and the hand seals danced, a Legion ferocious beasts could be seen dying on the spot.
His purple robes were stained with blood, which made his aura even more imposing.
He was born tall and imposing; when he wielded his lance in the arena, he was like a mountain, blocking wave after wave of attacking beasts.
Any ferocious beast that passed under the spear and the seal of law was instantly turned into blood and killed.
While Zhu Peizi was wreaking havoc, the blue-clad He Huaibao on the other side was also frequently making moves.
When the Duck Beast King attacked, only he and Zhu Peizi were at the Immortal Realm realm in the dojo. The True Monarch had not yet emerged from seclusion, so they had no choice but to bite the bullet and face it head-on.
Although the Duck Beast King was indeed fierce and powerful, fortunately, the True Lord intervened in the end, so the situation was resolved without serious danger.
But then Zhenjun ordered Zhu Peizi to fight the beast tide. He Huaibao, having lost his companion beast, did not want to go into battle with Zhu Peizi.
But with the True Lord above and all the cultivators below watching them, they couldn't struggle with their conscience and had no choice but to go out with Zhu Peizi.
At this moment, a great river surged forth from within the beast tide, crisscrossing within the black beast tide and separating the originally continuous beast tide.
When the great river surges, it stirs up endless waves, and any ferocious beast that approaches the river is instantly swept into the current.
This vast, crisscrossing river, like a sharp blade, sliced through countless ferocious beasts.
And sitting upright on the great river was a figure, none other than He Huaibao, dressed in a dark blue robe.
Beneath He Huaibao was a column of water, allowing him to sit steadily in the great river.
The water column meandered along the river, carrying his body into the horde of ferocious beasts. He Huaibao showed no fear within the beast tide.
Behind him stood a towering dorsal fin, which looked like a flamboyant flag, standing out conspicuously between the great rivers.
Wherever the dorsal fin rests, the river flows in that direction, as if it were directing the course of the great river.
The surging waves swept past beneath its dorsal fin, and it stood tall, riding the waves across the field.
Beneath its dorsal fin, a huge black shadow appeared and disappeared intermittently, and its "whooshing" roar terrified countless ferocious beasts.
This is the ferocious aquatic beast beneath He Huaibao. Although it dares not act recklessly in front of the Duck Beast King, it is more than enough to bully these beast tides.
When He Huaibao commanded it to go into battle, he made that great river surge forth, and the surging waters submerged a large swarm of beasts.
Thinking that the ferocious aquatic beast beneath him had finally stopped causing trouble, He Huaibao felt a surge of relief.
After this initial battle, the morale of the ferocious beasts in the arena plummeted and they began to retreat, which told him that the Duck Beast King had already withdrawn.
After pondering for a moment atop the water column, He Huaibao gently patted the surface of the water beneath him, causing his high dorsal fin to momentarily stop amidst the current.
Immediately, the dark shadow underwater quickly turned around, and after a splash, He Huaibao above the water column.
In the instant he turned his head, He Huaibao met a sharp gaze.
Xu Long's eyes narrowed for a moment, and his body paused slightly in front of the Metal Moat and Boiling Rampart Formation.
" Fellow Daoist He, the True Lord said not to pursue a cornered enemy; let us enter the battle!"
At that moment, a series of powerful words rang out from the crowd, abruptly interrupting the two men's eye contact.
Upon hearing this, He Huaibao immediately withdrew his gaze, his composed demeanor returning, though a hint of unease flickered in his eyes.
" Fellow Daoist Zhu, is this an invitation from the True Lord?"
"Hahaha! A resounding victory today! Of course!"
After withdrawing his gaze, He Huaibao cupped his hands in a gesture of respect to the person beside him and then asked.
Unbeknownst to them, Zhu Peizi, who had been battling a high-level ferocious beast, had already arrived at the scene.
Holding his long lance, he responded to He Huaibao's words with a joyful expression.
As they approached the training ground, He Huaibao was lifted up by a stream of water and then landed steadily inside the Metal Moat and Boiling Rampart Formation.
After He Huaibao emerged from the water, its tall dorsal fin instantly sank below the surface, and no trace of it could be found when peering above the water.
Meanwhile, Zhu Peizi slammed her lance into the ground with a clang and then vanished without a trace.
With another flick of his two purple sleeves, the bloodstains all over his body were shaken off, and the purple robes instantly regained their original luster.
" Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary, Zhu Peizi!"
"Disciple of Immortal Rosy Cloud Ridge, He Huaibao!"
Upon approaching, both of them bowed slightly to the assembled cultivators.
He then introduced himself, which served as a way of introducing himself to the fellow cultivators he was fighting alongside.
We have met the two esteemed masters!
When the cultivators saw the two True Immortals in front of the formation, they all paused, then bowed in return.
They had already witnessed the ferocity of these two during their previous battle with the Duck Beast King.
At that time, the True Lord had not yet appeared, and these two stood proudly and unyielding under the Duck Beast King, so they left a very deep impression on the cultivators.
When Ran saw them again, everyone greeted the two, but couldn't help thinking of someone else.
The figure of that man also stood unyielding beneath the head of the Duck Beast King, and seemed to possess even greater fighting power than the two of them...
In the crowd, countless eyes were fixed on a certain spot.
Then all the cultivators stepped through the light barrier and entered the inner part of the dojo.
After Xu Long withdrew his gaze, he hid himself in the crowd. He had been observing Zhu Peizi and He Huaibao, as well as the ferocious beast tide in the arena.
After the Duck Beast King retreated, the ferocious beast tide in the arena indeed lost its cohesion.
Despite the presence of high-level ferocious beasts, the two individuals and some stationed cultivators managed to retaliate.
The beast tide is already beyond saving; it cannot be allowed to cause any disturbance Pinglu Daoist Sanctuary.
