Chapter 1056: Laying Out Arrays

Translator: Exodus Tales  Editor: Exodus Tales

The addition of even one more person would indeed add more strength at a critical juncture. At the time Hao Lei and tens of juniors from the Tang Sect were doing everything they could to fight more than a dozen demonic beasts, Mo Awu brought two more comrades and joined the fray, much to Hao Lei’s team’s happy surprise.

“Hao Lei, Sect Master is being chased by hundreds of bird-species demonic beasts and will soon be here. We must join forces to decimate these demonic beasts within a minute, else Sect Master’s plan will be affected,” Mo Awu shouted while moving like a lightning bolt and slashed his immortal sword at a demonic beast. As the beast tried to avoid him, the two joined forces and killed it.

Hao Lei’s complexion changed and he hurriedly shouted back, “Did you tell Sect Master about our situation here, Mo Awu? If Sect Master brings those hundreds of bird-species demonic beasts here, wouldn’t it be very difficult for everyone to escape?”

Continuing his onslaught despite his injuries, Mo Awu kept moving to attack other demonic beasts with boiling killing aura. He replied loudly, “The main reason is that Sect Master will be arranging an array here. You all know his accomplishment in that aspect, so no worries about that. However, we still need to exterminate these demonic beasts first and then help him defend against those hundreds of bird-species demonic beasts. We’ll be done for if the rest of horde comes over.”

Upon hearing that Tang Xiu was going to arrange an array in this place, Hao Lei immediately relaxed. However, after hearing Mo Awu’s words, she grew restless again and asked loudly, “You mean, except for those hundreds of birds, there are still other demonic beasts chasing him?”

“Thousands more!” replied Mo Awu curtly.

Hiss…

Upon hearing this, be it Hao Lei or the tens of Tang Sect disciples, they couldn’t help but gasp. Thousands of demonic beasts? If so many demonic beasts caught up with them, wouldn’t it be very difficult to completely exterminate them even if Sect Master arranged the array here?

We’re still gonna die. Hao Lei couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. Then, she loudly shouted, “Everyone, heed my order! We mustn’t affect Sect Master’s plan. We must ensure that Sect Master can arrange the array here even if we all die. Kill all these damned demonic beasts even if we perish with them!!!”

“KILL!”

“KILL THEM ALL!!”

More than 20 disciples of the Tang Sect fell into madness, and frantic killing intent overflowed in their eyes. At the moment their eyes turned bloodshot, their momentum and striking power increased rapidly. Some of them, who had experienced numerous fierce battles, even had their potential stimulated further at this time, and broke through to a new realm, causing their True Essence energy to crazily surge inside their bodies.

“DIE!”

Eyes bloodshot and blood vessels on her arm squirming, Hao Lei’s True Essence wildly surged in her meridians and broke through the previously clogged acupoints. As the new meridians connected, she, who was previously at the late-stage of Foundation Establishment, directly broke through to the Golden Core Stage. The world energy in the surroundings crazily surged towards her from everywhere and rushed into her Dantian, finally forming a sesame-sized Golden Core.

Dangerous!

Of the dozen demonic beasts, there was only one of them at the Golden Core Stage, causing the rest to look horrified. They could sense that particular human’s momentum skyrocketed unceasingly, while the flow of energy frantically surged towards her. Such a phenomenon occurred when their kind had a breakthrough.

Escape.

The only Golden Core demonic beast was highly more intelligent than the rest. After struggling for a moment, it immediately gave up attacking the other humans and attempted its best to force back several humans who joined forces to defend before frantically bolting away.

Puff! Puff! Puff!

The blood splattered in full bloom as Hao Lei, who just broke through to the Golden Core Stage, killed various demonic beasts. The other Tang Sect disciples also fell into a frenzy in their onslaught and killed the rest in just half a minute.

Far away from them, a figure flickered towards them with hundreds of demonic beasts hot on his heels.

Tang Xiu’s speed was extremely fast. When he sensed a very strong aura from a demonic beast dashing from the direction he was heading to, he quickly manipulated the flying sword without hesitation and slashed it forward.

Puff…

Adding the might of the divine sword, Tang Xiu’s strength was on par with a Nascent Soul Stage expert as he struck a heavy blow to the only Golden Core demonic beast. At the same time, he flicked his fingers and shot two silver needles and precisely hit its eyes.

ROAAAAR….

Hollow wails came from the demonic beast, only to be met with Tang Xiu’s sneer. His figure slightly flickered and his divine sword erupted its might yet again as its sharp blade pierced the beast directly. An instant after, the divine sword hovered in a curved trajectory and beheaded its head. Tang Xiu then pulled its corpse into the interspatial ring in the blink of an eye.

“Casualty report?!” asked Tang Xiu aloud as he dashed towards Hao Lei’s team.

“18 seriously injured and some have lost their combat power, Sect Master,” replied Hao Lei in a shout. “The rest can still fight, but their combat effectiveness is affected!”
