On decisiveness, few people could be compared to Wang Lu. At the moment when Liu Xian was about to cut his own throat, Primal Chaos Heaven Splitting Sword Qi broke out of his finger.
However, unlike the surrounding people, the sword qi did not point at the sword in Liu Xian's hand but at the big river under his feet.
There was a big explosion sound. The river water splashed up into the sky as the sword qi wreaked havoc, and many fish and shrimps met cruel death. And at the bottom of the river, the angry roar of the beast came.
The head of the team, Ouyang Shang, who had a tacit understanding with Wang Lu, shouted loudly, ”Go!”
This shout was powered by the true qi of the golden core. The shocking effect was no less than that of a lion's roar. The sound wave spread in all directions, suppressing the roar from the giant beast at the bottom of the river, and causing huge waves on the river. Even the cultivators of Spirit Sword Sect above the river also had their mind and soul shook, and the magical power in their body couldn't help but surge up. Even more, their body seemed to be sucked by an external force to follow Ouyang Shang.
The next moment, feeling the provocation intent, the beasts at the bottom of the river completely erupted out of their sleep. A deep blue ice cone soared up from the river as a huge spine enveloped and froze everyone within it. At the critical time, Wang Lu activated his Non-Phase Sword while Ouyang Shang launched his Earth Shrink Technique at the same time, bumping with the ice cone head on.
After a dull 'bang' sound, the two were flung to the sky by the recoil force, but the freezing of the ice cone was suspended for a moment. The rest of the people no longer dared to hesitate to escape. Under the deterrent of the behemoth at the bottom of the river, any entanglement and hesitation were immediately swept away. Only the will to survive occupied everything.
The next moment, behind the crowd, a straight to the sky ice cone finally condensed fully. The fish in the river and the birds in the sky were all frozen in icicles, and their vitality disappeared! If the spine of this ice cone was tilted slightly, the cultivators of Spirit Sword Sect would not be spared either.
The crisis had not ended, however. The beast's attack had been blocked, but as the ruler of this great river, the giant beast had countless of underlings. At this time, they began to make their move to interfere with the actions of the disciples of Spirit Sword Sect.
Some spun on the river to form a whirlpool, some covered the sky in a thick fog, others bombarded them with long-range attacks, and some simply jumped out of the water and intercepted them.
Although these underlings were just lackeys in this great river, many actually had amazing strength. Among them, several blue crabs had already successfully formed an inner core, meaning that they already had the strength of a Jindan Stage cultivator!
At this time, Ouyang Shang and Wang Lu were still focused on the giant beast and thus had no time for distraction. While the rest of the team members were elites, they just didn't have the kind of assaulter who could lead the team out of trouble. There were more than a hundred people in the golden generation, but very rarely were there accomplished attackers among them.
”Everyone… Follow me!”
At the critical moment, Liu Xian roared. Bathed in golden light, his body's magical power surged up astonishingly.
”You… You're burning your innate vitality!” Besides him, Xie Mingxian was amazed. ”After just reaching Xudan Stage, you rashly used your innate vitality…”
”It's my atonement!” Liu Xian roared and then the flying sword in his hand turned into a golden bridge that led to the front. Where the bridge was facing, all the monsters were swept away. Several blue crabs swayed and were forced to stand their ground.
”Everyone keep up!” Xie Mingxian no longer hesitated. He also burned his innate vitality to help Liu Xian so that the golden bridge became more solid.
Then, the rest of them quickly followed, strengthening the bridge with their own strength and then rushed forward along the bridge, no one could stop them!
—
The team sped to the other side of the great river at the fastest speed. During this time, no one was free to have distracting thought and thought about other things. All they could think of was strengthening the golden bridge so that the monsters from the river could not approach...
Liu Xian's golden bridge, which was formed by burning his innate vitality, had a strong anti-monster effect. After being strengthened by the joint effort of the other team members, it became even more indestructible. A few big crabs with giant claws tried to strike it, and each hit had the power that was enough to break a mountain, but it did not break. Only the giant beast had the ability to break the golden bridge, but for some reason, it never made its move again.
The great river was wide, but it still has an end. After an unknown amount of time, the golden bridge finally arrived at the river bank. When it came to the shore, it was no longer within the power sphere of the great river, so the underlings had to reluctantly turn back. Their attention was now turned toward the two people who were still hovering over the river.
Wang Lu and Ouyang Shang never kept up with the golden bridge. Not because they had great confidence, but because of the giant beast at the bottom of the river, which only they could resist, barely, for one or two times. Thus, they had to stay behind. Of course, although neither of them had the confidence to win, they had enough means to deter the opponent from launching a full-scale war.
Wang Lu put away his Non-Phase Sword Art and activated the Primal Chaos Heaven Splitting Sword Qi to the max. The two sword qi filled the air and smashed the space, as if ripping apart the yin and yang. Ouyang Shang also activated his spiritual treasure level flying sword in front of his chest. His sword was like the wave, where it passed, water vapor seemed to appear as if a drought had come. Ouyang Shang was naturally close to the earth, with soil base Heavenly Spirit Root body. This should be a good defensive trait, but after transforming his ability, he became the natural enemy of aquatic creatures—drought.
The two of them gave up their defense and assumed the full offensive stance. They might, in fact, be defeated if the huge river beast really wanted to fight, but before that, they could give their opponent a serious injury that could not be healed forever. This was not due to how solid their cultivation base was, but due to the supreme effect of the immortal level method of Primal Chaos Heaven Splitting Sword Qi. Immortal level method was the accumulation and crystallization of the thousands of years of tireless effort of human cultivators seeking the path to immortality, which was also the basic reason why human cultivators ruled the world. And for such an opponent, there were not many monsters that were willing to fight it.
It was hard for monsters to become immortal. For the huge river beast to become so powerful, it had to spend thousands of years of cultivation and pass countless disasters. On the other hand, human cultivators often would achieve the same cultivation base in a hundred years. Thus, unless it was necessary, they were rarely willing to fight the human cultivators in a life and death fight.
