Becoming Leng Yaozhu's Disciple

"What?!"

Zi JI's eyes sharpened, and she narrowly dodged the short blade by sidestepping it, but the tip of the blade still managed to cut a gash in her waistband. At the same time, she formed her right hand into a claw and grabbed Bai Yushan's wrist precisely along the direction of the short blade. Dark purple flames shot from her fingertips, trying to scorch his arm and melt the short blade.

But Bai Yushan didn't dodge at all. Instead, he used the force of her grip to lunge forward and smashed his left elbow hard into Zi JI's face with the force of Thunderous Might!

Bear-shaped, majestic and imposing!

It's a crazy fighting style that trades injury for injury, completely disregarding whether their wrists will be burned, only aiming for a single, fatal blow!

Zi JI's pupils contracted slightly; she hadn't expected this kid to be this crazy.

She had no choice but to let go and defend, raising her left arm to block in front of her face.

But just as he dealt with one, two more Wind Blade Leopard pounced at him from the side, their sharp claws slashing towards his waist with Wind Blade.

Zhao Tieshan had no time to dodge; a deep, bone-revealing gash was slashed across his arm, and blood gushed out instantly. He cursed, then slapped one of the heads to death with a backhand, while the other was finished off by a nearby agility-based Soul Master.

The pressure from both sides was even greater. Swarms of Venomous Sting Bee descended, their stingers, carrying potent venom, sizzled as they stung the Soul Master's Soul Power shield.

One of the Control System Soul Master couldn't hold on; his protective shield shattered, and he was instantly stung in the face by dozens of poisonous bees. His entire face swelled up at a visible speed, and he collapsed to the ground screaming in agony.

Before anyone could pull him away, several Steel-Toothed Rat swarmed over and bit down hard on his legs.

"Ah--!"

A shrill scream rang out, and a flash of white light appeared on the Soul Master's body as he was teleported directly out of the Spirit Ascension Platform.

This is the first person to leave.

Once there's a first, there's bound to be a second.

There were too many Soul Beast, and they kept coming one after another; it was impossible to kill them all.

The ones in front had just fallen when the ones behind them charged forward, stepping over the corpses of their fallen comrades, their eyes bloodshot, fighting with a complete recklessness.

"Treatment! Get treatment quickly!"

Liu Qingping stood in the middle of the formation, her forehead covered in sweat. She unleashed her first Second Soul Skill in turn, and green healing light continuously fell on the injured Soul Master. However, the number of wounded was increasing, and she, as a Support System, simply couldn't keep up.

A Power Attack System Soul Master had his ribs broken by the Iron-Armored Rhinoceros and collapsed, coughing up blood. Just as her healing light reached him, the Iron-Armored Rhinoceros broke through the defenses and stomped on his chest with one hoof.

Another beam of white light rose.

Within minutes, five Soul Master had left the field, reducing the team of thirty to one-sixth.

The Soul Beast didn't gain any advantage either. Twenty or thirty Soul Beast corpses lay on the ground, all transformed into halos of Spirit Power that floated above the battlefield. The halos accumulated more and more, the Spirit Power aura grew stronger and stronger, and the Soul Beast they attracted became stronger and stronger. In the distance, even the roars of Thousand-Year Soul Beast could be heard.

The entire battlefield was in complete chaos.

The sounds of colliding Soul Power, the roars of Soul Beast, the shouts of Soul Master, and screams of agony mingled together, mud flew, trees broke, and blood splattered everywhere.

The thirty Soul Elder struggled to hold on, their formation constantly shrinking. Everyone was injured, and their Soul Power was being greatly depleted, but no one dared to retreat.

They dared not retreat.

Retreat and dying in the mouth of Soul Beast would be the end of it all, but if you anger that madman on the rock, the thought of being electrocuted to the point of death sends shivers down your spine.

On the giant rocks beside the battlefield.

Bai Yushan leaned against a protruding rock, his hands in his pockets, watching the chaotic battle below with his eyes downcast. His narrow eyes reflected the light and shadow of the battlefield, a faint smile playing on his lips, his eyes filled with delighted interest.

Some foolish Hundred-Year Soul Beast sensed his presence and roared as they pounced towards the boulder. Before they even got within three meters of it, they were struck by an arc of electricity that appeared out of nowhere. They fell to the ground, charred black, twitched twice, and then went still, turning into a halo of light that floated into the sky above the battlefield.

Bai Yushan didn't even lift an eyelid.

He just watched quietly, watching humans and Soul Beast fight, watching lives disappear one after another, watching the Spirit Power aura gather more and more.

Individual strength, before it undergoes a qualitative change, cannot make any significant impact in war.

Even in small-scale wars like this, this is true!

The wind blew through Bai Yushan's fluffy black hair, causing the hem of her clothes to flutter slightly.

The boy's handsome face wore a carefree smile, but his eyes churned with a madness and indifference beyond his years.

On the battlefield, the shouts of battle continued.

Another Agility Attack System Soul Master was surrounded by the three-headed Shadow Cat. Unable to dodge in time, his throat was slashed open by its claws. He clutched his neck and fell to the ground, whereupon a white light quickly appeared. Zhao Tieshan in the front row was also about to give up. He had seven or eight wounds on his body, and his breathing was heavy like a bellows. Every punch he threw was accompanied by trembling.

Soul Beast continued to pour out of the dense forest, as if they could never be killed.

The team of thirty people has dwindled to twenty-three, and the number continues to decrease.

Bai Yushan tapped the rocks lightly with his fingertips, his gaze sweeping over the floating auras of Spirit Power, and the smile on his lips deepened.

That's about it.

If he kills a little longer, the accumulated Spirit Power will be enough for him to Electric Current Push of several thousand volts.

He looked up into the deeper part of the dense forest, where the aura of the Thousand-Year Soul Beast was becoming increasingly clear.

The real show is just beginning.

Boom--

The dense northern forest was the first to erupt in towering flames, and the scorching heat, carrying the smell of burning, swept over us.

Four ancient Flame Demon Lion, each the size of a water buffalo, slowly emerged. Dark red flames danced on their crimson manes, and each step left a charred footprint on the ground. Their deep roars were so loud they made one's eardrums ache.

Behind them followed more than twenty century-old Flame Demon Lion, the herd forming a sea of fire, instantly turning vegetation yellow and spontaneously combusting wherever they passed.

The sound of rapid hoofbeats echoed across the western slope, causing the ground to tremble slightly.

More than twenty Blazing Plains Flame Horse charged forward in formation, their bodies engulfed in raging Lie Yan. Their hooves splattered sparks as they galloped. The two leading Fiery Horses, both ancient and exceptionally robust, left long trails of fire behind them as they ran. Their Impact was enough to shatter a half-meter-thick stone wall.

At the same time, the treetops overhead stirred with activity, as one after another, gray-black giant apes leaped between the branches, their tails whipping and crackling through the air.

The two thousand-year-old Twin-Tailed Ape, whose size was comparable to black bears, perched on tree branches, looking down at the trees with their scarlet eyes full of savagery. With a single swipe of their claws, they could tear apart tree trunks as thick as bowls.

The three major clans surrounded them from three sides, and nearly a hundred Soul Beast pressed down on them, making it hard to breathe. There were eight of them at the thousand-year level.

The twenty-three Soul Master turned deathly pale instantly. They were already exhausted from dealing with the scattered Soul Beast, and now three complete groups had arrived, making it a dead end.

Some people instinctively took a half step back, and the lightning seed in their dantian immediately sent a sharp pain through them, reminding them that there was an even more terrifying evil star behind them.

Retreat means certain death; fight forward, and perhaps there's still a glimmer of hope.

"You damned beast! Die!"

Zhao Tieshan roared, his earth-yellow Soul Power surging, and he charged forward to meet the hundred-year-old Flame Demon Lion at the front.

That roar was like igniting a powder keg; everyone's eyes turned bloodshot.

None of the Three-Ring Soul Elder managed to secure a spot in the Spirit Pagoda were spineless; they were either academy geniuses or family elites, and all possessed a ruthless streak.

Now that things have come to this, no one cares about Bai Yushan's orders anymore. They throw punches, draw their swords, and unleash their Soul Skill, all for the sake of survival, to avoid being devoured by beasts.

The battle instantly reached its climax.

Zhao Tieshan took the lead and directly rammed into a thousand-year-old Flame Demon Lion. The lion's claws, wreathed in Lie Yan, slammed down, but he neither dodged nor evaded, instead using his fists to draw the blow with his powerful Soul Power.

With a muffled thud, his feet sank deep into the mud, his knees buckled, and his sleeves were instantly burned off, his skin turning red and blistered. He grunted, and instead of retreating, he advanced, slamming his head hard into the lion's nose, while his other hand clenched into a fist and smashed it towards the lion's eye.

The Thousand-Year Flame Demon Lion roared in pain and spewed out a fireball the size of a washbasin.

Zhao Tieshan rolled to the side to dodge, but his back was still hit by the flames, and his clothes were instantly charred. He seemed not to feel the pain, pounced forward and hugged the lion's leg, and poured all his Soul Power into his fists, punching the same spot again and again.

The cracking sound of bones breaking mingled with a beastly roar as the lion's forelegs were smashed off, and its massive body crashed to the ground. But before Zhao Tieshan could even get up, another thousand-year-old Flame Demon Lion pounced from the side, its sharp claws piercing straight through his chest.

"I... it was worth it!"

Zhao Tieshan coughed up a mouthful of blood, but instead clung tightly to the lion's paw, his other hand clenched into a sharp cone shape, and with his last bit of strength, he stabbed it into the lion's ear. The two giant beasts fell to the ground together, a white light shone on his body, but a smile remained on his lips.

On the other side, the Blazing Plains Flame Horse crashed violently into the formation.

Zhou Zheng stood at the very front, his face as pale as paper. He unleashed his Third Soul Skill like it was free, sending earthen walls rising from the ground only to be smashed to pieces by the horses. His throat tasted sweet, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, but he gritted his teeth and continued to form hand seals. Suddenly, countless stone spikes rose from the ground, causing the front-row fire horses to stand on their tiptoes, their charge abruptly halted for a moment.

"Quick! Kill the horse's legs!"

He screamed, and before he could finish speaking, a thousand-year-old fiery horse broke through the defenses, its hooves, burning with Lie Yan, stomping towards his head.

In that half-step gap, Bai Yushan pressed his advantage, stepping out with the Wave-Skimming Mist-Treading Steps, his figure as elusive as Gui Mei as he pressed close to the target.

Fists, elbows, knees, and leg blades rained down like a storm. The Five Beast Way techniques were seamlessly integrated, each move ruthless and aimed at vital points. Lightning crackled and exploded, a truly life-or-death struggle!

For a moment, Zi JI was forced to retreat repeatedly, only able to passively parry!

"That's interesting!"

After taking three steps back, Zi JI laughed in extreme anger.

"Since you're so eager to fight, then I'll give you a good fight!"

As soon as she finished speaking, the dark purple flames on Zi JI's body suddenly receded, disappearing completely beneath her dragon scales.

The next second, her speed and power instantly reached a new level!

The already fast figure was now completely transformed into a purple lightning bolt.

Bai Yushan only felt a blur before his eyes, and the opponent's fist was already in front of him, so fast that even Electromagnetic Clarity could only capture a fleeting afterimage!

He hurriedly raised his arm to block.

Bang!

The immense force sent Bai Yushan flying backward like a kite with a broken string, spitting out blood and breaking his arm bones into several pieces.

Before he could even land, Zi JI's figure had already caught up with him in mid-air, and her knee slammed hard into his lower abdomen!

puff--

Bai Yushan bowed like a shrimp, and spat out another mouthful of blood.

Immediately afterwards, Zi JI slammed her elbow into his back, sending him crashing to the ground from mid-air!

Boom!

Bai Yushan crashed heavily into the ground, instantly carbonizing the surrounding rock and soil.

Excruciating pain swept through my entire body; I had no idea how many bones were broken, and even the electrical repair function couldn't keep up with the damage.

But even as he lay in the pit, he was laughing so hard he was shaking.

Hahaha... Hahaha!

He braced himself against the ground, staggering to his feet. He was covered in blood, his bones still crackling and healing on their own, but his eyes shone with a frightening intensity, like a raging Ferocious Beast, his madness fully revealed.

"That's more like it! That's more exciting!"

He wiped the blood from his face, lightning flashed beneath his feet, and he charged forward once more!

Lightning Thread Binding!

Countless strands of lightning, as thin as hair, appeared out of thin air and coiled around Zi JI from all directions, trying to restrict her speed.

At the same time, he clapped his hands together and Purple Lightning Fierce Slash!

Two intersecting arcs of electricity slashed through the air, followed closely by one.

He raised his palm again, and three Lightning Ball flew out in a straight line!

One move after another, executed in one breath, giving no one a chance to catch their breath!

Zi JI snorted coldly, and with a sweep of her dragon wings, a wall of scorching demonic flames formed in front of her.

The lightning bolt struck the wall of fire and instantly burned and dissipated; the Purple Lightning Fierce Slash struck the wall of fire and exploded into a sky full of sparks; three Lightning Ball exploded in succession, but only made the wall of fire sway slightly.

The moment the wall of fire dissipated, Zi JI burst out, and the two clashed again, engaging in an even more intense close-quarters battle!

Fist against fist, claw against claw, elbow against elbow, leg against leg.

The muffled thuds continued in unison, as dense as thunderclaps. Lightning flashes and purple flames rose and fell throughout the valley, leaving the ground cratered and the mountainside constantly tumbling down with loose rocks.

Bai Yushan was repeatedly knocked away, his bones broke repeatedly, but he always managed to heal himself with the help of electric current, getting back up to continue fighting.

The more he fought, the more proficient he became in controlling lightning; the more he fought, the smoother the fusion of the Five Beast Way and the Thunder Way became; the more he fought, the stronger the madness in his eyes grew!

As the fight progressed, Zi JI grew increasingly alarmed. This kid was like an unkillable cockroach. Despite being inferior to her in strength and speed, he had managed to hold out against her for so long thanks to his incredible self-healing and reckless fighting style.

Moreover, she could clearly sense that this kid was constantly getting stronger during the battle! Every time he was knocked away, his strength would increase and his reaction time would become faster after he got up!

Such combat talent is simply unheard of!

Even though the two had fought many times, every time, Zi JI was still shocked by Bai Yushan's formidable talent!

As the fight went on, Bai Yushan suddenly took a punch and managed to get right in front of Zi JI. He raised both arms at the same time, and his fists Entanglement with extremely thick lightning, which vaguely formed the phantom of a giant thunder dragon's jaws!

"Thunder Dragon's Jaws!"

He let out a low growl and slammed his fists together from both sides!

Released at close range, there's no way to avoid it!

Zi JI's eyes narrowed, not daring to be careless. She crossed her arms in front of her, unleashing the full power of her demonic flames to form the thickest defense in front of her.

Boom--!!!
