The Way of The Dao

Clang!

Mu Shen managed to defend himself from the claw attack with his sword.

Slash!

He then moved quickly, directing his sword at the body of the demon beast, killing it completely.

Haaah

Mu Shen gasped heavily as he turned to see Mu Shuiruo.

Mu Shuiruo moved surprisingly quickly, managing to dodge the attack of a demon beast in the Fourth Stage of Chi Gathering.

Mu Shen stepped forward to help his sister and quickly both of them finished off the demon beast.

"Sister, are you all right?" Mu Shen asked worriedly as he watched her body not have any visible wounds.

Mu Shuiruo shook her head as she responded with choppy words, trying to stabilize her breathing: "I'm fine, just very tired."

Mu Shuiruo was not used to fighting many demonic beasts. She mostly stayed home making elixirs for her brothers. Thus, she could help both Mu Shen and Tang Jingtian by giving them recovery elixirs.

However, because she now had Ling Tian, Mu Shuiruo did not want to be a burden to him and just stay home and wait for her beloved.

Mu Shen nodded and turned in one direction. Quickly, Mu Shen rushed out to help two people near him.

Bang!

A corpse fell heavily to the ground, near where the two brothers were before.

Tang Jingtian took a long breath before approaching Mu Shuiruo heavily.

"Are you okay, sister?" Tang Jingtian spoke up once he confirmed that Mu Shuiruo had no injuries. He looked around: "There's no end to it..."

Just as the Yun and Zhang families were surrounded by dozens of demonic beasts, the same situation was happening to the Tang and Long families.

An endless horde of demon beasts stalked the martial artists of these two families.

"Sister Shuiro, wait for us here." Tang Jingtian told Mu Shuiruo once he was certain there were no demon beasts nearby.

Tang Jingtian also shot out to help some people nearby who were having difficulties.

Mu Shen returned to Mu Shuiruo. Behind him were two people who were following him. One was his beloved: Hu Wenxin. The other woman was an acquaintance of Hu Wenxin, as she was talking to Hu Wenxin.

After a few seconds, Tang Jingtian also returned with two women behind him.

Both women were breathing heavily as they thanked Tang Jingtian for helping them. If he had not helped them both, they would have been dead for sure.

Tang Jingtian told them not to worry with a smile as a slight blush appeared on his face. One of the women he saved was the person he liked.

They all started taking elixirs to try to regain their inner energies.

Grrr!

A nearby roar caught their attention so they immediately turned around.

Long Yuyin was fighting a demon beast in the Seventh Stage of Chi Gathering.

They watched in amazement as Long Yuyin moved exceptionally well, dodging the attacks of the lion-shaped demon beast. Its claws could easily cut through steel, so they were worried about her.

The moment Tang Jingtian and Mu Shen decided to help Long Yuyin, their eyes were opened with shock at Long Yuyin's sudden movement.

Long Yuyin already had minimal knowledge of the attack pattern and movement of this demon beast, so once she found a way to counterattack, Long Yuyin decided to quickly end it. Fatigue was beginning to accumulate in her body.

The demon beast extended its claw in the direction of Long Yuyin, sending all its weight towards her.

Long Yuyin played with one of her daggers and faced the devil's lion's claw directly. Once her right dagger made contact with the claw, she moved her hand strongly to deflect the attack of the demon beast, managing to move the trajectory a little.

The demon lion lost its balance slightly as it sent all its weight into the attack.

Taking advantage of the slight advantage she had, Long Yuyin pushed her right dagger further aside, turning her body over as she quickly lifted her left leg and moved it in the direction of the head of the demon beast.

With her left heel, Long Yuyin inflicted damage on the head of the demon lion, allowing a fierce roar to escape.

Long Yuyin swung in the air, trying to stabilize herself. She quickly played with both daggers and positioned them again, moving her hands sharply in the direction of the demon lion's head.

Crack

The daggers pierced the demon beast's skull with some difficulty. The demon lion only lasted less than 5 seconds before dropping dead.

Long Yuyin fell heavily to the ground, panting heavily. This confrontation had consumed much energy in her.

However, a smile appeared on her face.

She alone could kill a demon beast in the Emperor rank!

Mu Shuiruo, Mu Shen, and Tang Jingtian approached her to protect her in case a demon beast suddenly appeared.

"Sister." Mu Shuiruo approached with concern and handed Long Yuyin an elixir.

Long Yuyin did not hesitate and thanked Mu Shuiruo when she took the bottle containing the elixir.

The group of eight people managed to get a little rest when they killed the demon beasts close to them.

"The Lord of the City is fighting hard against three demon beasts at the same time." Tang Jingtian spoke when he saw the battle of Long Cheng.

Long Cheng was currently facing two demon beasts in the King rank and one demon beast in the Emperor rank

Everyone could see that even Long Cheng was having difficulties.

There were only less than 50 demon beasts in the Emperor rank, so the martial artists were able to defend themselves arduously.

Tang Jingtian, Mu Shen and Long Yuyin could not help but think of one person when they saw this horrible horde of demon beasts that had no end.

They were thinking of Ling Tian.

If Ling Tian was there, they could turn this battle around and start decreasing the number of demon beasts.

Mu Shuiro likewise started thinking about Ling Tian. Slowly fear began to take hold of her, so she wanted to see her beloved.

Mu Shen and Tang Jingtian managed to save two more women who were about to die too. Since they were close to them, they both decided to help them.

Then, they went back to help some guys who were also having difficulties, managing to increase the number of martial artists in the group.

The small group of 4 people that was at the beginning, there were now 20 people. 10 women and 10 men.

Huh?

Both Mu Shen and Tang Jingtian began to notice that there were spaces where demonic beasts were beginning to be lacking, as if they were beginning to diminish.

"The demon horde is decreasing!" Mu Shen spoke with a joyful tone as he saw the demon beasts begin to diminish.

The total number of demon beasts began to decrease noticeably, so the martial artists began to get excited and quickly began to annihilate the demon beasts.

Long Cheng also noticed this and worked even harder to kill the three demon beasts he was facing. However, when only the last demon beast of the Seventh Stage of Chi Gathering was left, Long Cheng managed to deal it a severe blow, but he could not avoid the attack with the tail of the demon beast, so he flew away.

Long Cheng hit a tree hard.

"Lord of the City!"

Long Heng and Tang Nu screamed at the sight of Long Cheng's impact.

"I am fine!" Long Cheng shouted heavily. Long Cheng felt his bones fractured as a line of blood came out of his mouth.

Tang Nu and Long Heng killed the demon beasts they faced and quickly went to finish off the demon beast Long Cheng was fighting.

Both of them were badly injured, but they managed to kill the demon beast.

Long Yuyin worried about her father but could barely move. She decided to get her strength back first.

The number of the demon horde slowly decreased. Once there were less than 100 demon beasts left, the number quickly dwindled.

The martial artists lay down on the ground once the demon beasts were annihilated.

The horde of demon beasts is over!

However.

GRRRRR!

Overwhelming pressure covered the entire battlefield.

Fear completely covered all martial artists, including those in the Emperor rank.

Long Cheng was no exception.

As a Legend rank, he clearly felt that this demon beast was stronger than he was.

The group of Mu Shuiruo, Long Yuyin, Tang Jingtian and Mu Shen, along with the others they had saved, were the first to receive such overwhelming pressure.

The demon beast appeared near them.

The martial artists were filled with fear when they saw that this demon beast was a Peantre panther!

However, the maximum number of tails recorded was 3, which was a King rank.

This demon beast had 5 tails!

Obviously this demon beast was beyond the level of King rank!

The demon beast stared at Mu Shen and Tang Jingtian's group.

GROAR!

The demon beast roared fiercely, completely scaring everyone on the battlefield.
