A bitter look on her face, Aquababe replied in a low voice, “According to the present gathering of those demonic beasts, the number should be over 1,000. We haven’t yet found any particular kind of demonic beasts among them, but some are very strong. It should be over D-rank according to our standard measure of demonic beasts.”
Duanmu Lin gasped and said in surprise, “Our blockade line will fall if this tide of the demonic beasts has so many D-ranks. They can easily crush it.”
The classification for demonic beasts formulated by Duanmu Lin and numerous cultivators through the battles from low to high ranks were the comparison between demonic beasts with cultivators:
F-rank: ordinary demonic beast;
E-rank: demonic beast comparable to a Qi Refining Stage cultivator;
D-rank: demonic beast comparable to a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator;
C-rank: demonic beast comparable to a Golden Core Stage cultivator;
B-rank: demonic beast comparable to a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator;
A-rank: demonic beast comparable to a Soul Formation Stage cultivator.
The ranks above are, respectively: S, SS, and SSS.
As of now, the most powerful demonic beasts that had already appeared were the ones with the size of a two-story building and were evaluated to be at B-rank.
Yet, such B-rank demonic beasts were on par with Nascent Soul Stage cultivators—a terrifying force that was enough to send a chill down the backs of Duanmu Lin and the other Chinese cultivators. However, no matter how dreadful it was to them, everyone was crystal clear that they must do everything they could to get rid of them, or the country would turn into a hellish pandemonium.
“Send a copy of our teams’ evaluation to Tang Xiu, Aquababe!” Duanmu Lin gave back the photos to Aquababe and issued an order with a serious face.
Aquababe nodded and sent the message to Tang Xiu. Then, she asked quickly, “What do we do next, Chief? If over 1,000 demonic beasts assemble, or more of them hit our blockade line, what should we do then? The armed forces guarding the blockade line are impossible to stop them.”
A chilling light flashed across Duanmu Lin’s eyes as he asked back, “Has General Wang Tao arrived yet?”
“He has arrived and is now deploying the military defensive measure on the periphery.” Aquababe nodded.
“Let’s go see him first,” said Duanmu Lin. “We must set up an armed defense system in Ugley first with all the weapons available. If worse comes to worst and we have no means left, our last step will be deploying weapons with enormous power.”
At the Himalayas.
Leading the juniors of the sect, Tang Xiu carefully observed the surrounding environment. The chilling wind whistled around the snow-capped mountains, and everyone could feel the piercing cold. To the astonishment of the 37 disciples of the Tang Sect, the speed of Tang 28’s group of five was not slower than them.
“We got a visual of around a dozen demonic beasts about 1300 meters away at 1 o’clock, and there are no other demonic beasts around them, although I don’t rule out the possibility that some could be hiding and out of the scope of my observations.”
Xue Sha, who was behind Tang Xiu, quickly reported with a changing expression.
Tang Xiu looked at the direction he pointed and instantly squinted his eyes. Then, he nodded. “Then let’s test the water by showing off some of our abilities since there are only a dozen demonic beasts. Gu Yin, you can also use the immortal sword your Senior Sister gave you.”
“I’ll definitely kill a lot of those demonic beasts, Master,” replied Gu Yin reverentially.
“Keep in mind that no matter how important killing the demonic beasts are, your safety still takes priority,” replied Tang Xiu with a smile. “There are still many chances available if you’re alive and you can kill many more demonic beasts later as long as you can guarantee your survival. Even if… the enemies are human.”
After getting along with the original members of the Everlasting Feast Hall for a long time, Gu Yin naturally learned a lot from them, that they used to carry out their missions. Thus, she was influenced by their lifestyle. She then gradually understood the cruelty of the world. Admittedly, she was very strong, and a bit much stronger, in fact. It was like she got afflicted by their disease and had her nerves tempered, becoming extremely tenacious. Therefore, she wouldn’t bat an eye as long as the opponent was an enemy.
Quickly after, the group approached those demonic beasts and were just 200 meters away from them. As the dozen demonic beasts finally noticed that some humans were approaching them, they howled and lunged toward them without hesitation.
“KILL!”
Tang Xiu didn’t use the divine sword but a two-meter long saber that emitted a dark, sinister aura. It was the saber he obtained from the small world in Kunlun mountain where the Diabolos Praecantator Clan were prisoned. It was one of the tens of millions of divine armaments he obtained there.
The blade qi was as though a rainbow with overwhelming momentum.
The two demonic beasts in the forefront with sharp spikes all over their bodies were instantly split into two halves by the saber. The violent blade qi was such that it frightened the rest of demonic beasts and they avoided it. At this moment, more than 40 experts at the Foundation Establishment Stage, including Tang 28, also began their violent assault.
Puff…
