Chapter 138 The War Begins! Using Underhanded Tactics
Seeing that these weak human cultivators dared to charge at them, the beasts roared angrily and pounced forward.
This group of demonic beasts numbered only a few thousand, but their strength was vastly different from before, including more than thirty Foundation Establishment cultivators.
However, what comforted Daoist Luoyun was that no powerful demons appeared among them, thus ensuring his safety.
However, although his life was safe, the faces of the others remained grim and unpleasant. There were more than twenty of them! No matter how powerful Daoist Luoyun was, he could only restrain five or six at most. The rest would have to be dealt with by them.
However, they were not upset for long, and soon another small team appeared beside them, with six Foundation Establishment cultivators in the team.
Clearly, Guiyun Sect wouldn't send them to their deaths in vain.
With six Foundation Establishment cultivators, plus their team, there are thirteen Foundation Establishment cultivators in total. In addition, there is Daoist Luoyun, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. Overall, the risk of dealing with these demonic beasts is not too great.
Xia Yuhui breathed a slight sigh of relief; in this way, his life was also protected.
As for the others, he ignored them. In fact, his gaze was now subtly fixed on Cai Yuandan and the Akagi family.
If these three can be eliminated in this battle, the future development of the Xia family may be guaranteed.
As for the Guiyun Sect's rule against killing teammates in battle, Xia Yuhui only listened to it. As long as he acted cautiously and didn't let others see his flaws, who would hold a grudge against him?
As the saying goes, in the cultivation world, strength is paramount, and the law of the jungle prevails. Those who do not understand this rule are either dead or have powerful forces backing them up.
Once the Qi Refining cultivators clashed with the beast horde, the situation immediately became one-sided. Within just a few breaths, more than half of the five hundred cultivators had been killed or wounded.
Upon seeing this, Daoist Luoyun immediately flew up.
Currently, some of the demonic beasts are gnawing on the corpses, making this the most opportune time to act. Xia Yuhui and the others, seeing Luo Yun Daoist make his move, quickly followed suit.
Not long after the Foundation Establishment cultivators rushed forward, more than five hundred Qi Refining cultivators followed.
The moment the two sides met, the two second-tier demonic beasts in front of them turned into blood, and the Falling Cloud Blood Sword remained as powerful as ever.
There were no powerful demons of equal strength to him in this battle, so Daoist Luoyun fought with great pleasure and never thought of conserving his magical power.
However, Xia Yuhui, who was equally powerful, did not do so. He merely stepped forward and entangled a mid-grade second-tier demon beast. Xia Yuhui had always despised such attention-seeking behavior.
And if he really acted like Daoist Luoyun, how could his three enemies have died unexpectedly?
Seeing this, Jin Shengxin and Jin Shengguang, who were not far from Xia Yuhui, frowned. After all, Xia Yuhui had not unleashed his full power as before, which meant that they would have to face even more monsters.
At this moment, Jin Shengguang, who was in the middle stage of Foundation Establishment, was still able to barely protect himself in this battle. However, Jin Shengxin, who was only in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, was in a very different situation. At this moment, he could lose his life every second.
If he were to die here, he would probably not even leave behind a trace of blood. Therefore, Jin Shengxin was clearly starting to panic, and even during the battle, he would occasionally make some minor mistakes.
This is the fundamental difference between fighting on the battlefield and fighting against others in peacetime.
Finally, Jin Shengxin glanced at his cousin, gritted his teeth, and immediately went over.
Seeing this, Jin Shengguang also cooperated and slowly moved over. However, his opponents were two second-tier demonic beasts, which made it quite difficult for him to fight. He was also unable to help Jin Shengxin.
Seeing that his cousin was unable to help, Jin Shengxin immediately moved closer to Xia Yuhui.
All he can do now is pray that Xia Yuhui will keep his promise.
At this moment, Xia Yuhui was facing off against a second-tier demon bear with his bare hands. Once he found an opportunity, he immediately picked up the giant bear, which was three zhang tall, and threw it out.
The direction of the throw was precisely where Cai Yuandan was located. Cai Yuandan seemed to have anticipated this and immediately withdrew, getting rid of his opponent.
The bear demon's original brown pupils had turned blackish-red. After it crashed heavily into the ground, it charged towards Cai Yuandan in a daze.
After the two exchanged blows for several rounds, their pupils slowly returned to their original color.
The dark light on Xia Yuhui's arm gradually faded.
Cai Yuandan maintained a calm and composed demeanor throughout, as if he had long since seen through everything. He also knew that Xia Yuhui would act in this way, since if he had such strength, he would probably have done even more than Xia Yuhui.
Jin Shengxin, who was about to approach, was startled by the sight. The scene of him humiliating Xia Yuhui before Xia Yuhui had even reached the Foundation Establishment stage flashed through his mind.
Jin Shengxin swallowed hard, steeled his resolve, and launched a fierce attack on his opponent. He knew that relying on others was not as good as relying on himself, and he, Jin Shengxin, was by no means a useless person.
In fact, with his strength, he was capable of dealing with the monster in front of him, but the situation on the battlefield could change in an instant. His current enemies were not limited to the monster in front of him, but also the monsters around him, and even the monsters on the entire battlefield, who might come to attack him.
At this moment, Xia Yuhui found another early-stage second-tier demon beast. This time, Xia Yuhui did not continue to fight this demon beast, but used some of his true skills to beat the demon beast into screaming in agony. It was expected that it would not be long before Xia Yuhui would be able to achieve a great victory and kill the demon beast.
Xia Yuhui's attention was now mostly focused on the two members of the Akagi family. Cai Yuandan was doomed; a mid-stage second-tier demonic beast was enough to take his life, and there were many other demonic beasts eyeing him from all sides.
The two members of the Akagi family seemed to have discerned Xia Yuhui's intentions, and they calmly moved a little distance towards the outer perimeter.
Seeing this, Xia Yuhui merely smiled coldly. How could such a deadly disaster be avoided so easily?
At this moment, two of the six Foundation Establishment cultivators who came to their aid have already perished. It seems that this small team is merely a collection of rogue cultivators, and therefore their strength is not great.
The deaths of two people meant that the pressure on the other cultivators had increased even further.
Just as Xia Yuhui was pondering how to make a move in secret, he heard a hurried voice in his ear.
“This fellow Daoist saved my life. I have 20,000 spirit stones on hand. If you can save me from danger this time, I will definitely give you these 20,000 spirit stones afterwards.”
Xia Yuhui turned his head and saw that this person was another Foundation Establishment cultivator who had come to help. At this moment, he was being forced to retreat by a second-tier demon beast, and several deep wounds had appeared on his body.
Xia Yuhui's eyes lit up instantly, "Do me a favor, and I can save your life..."
Upon hearing Xia Yuhui's request, the cultivator nodded in agreement without hesitation. In a short while, he led the demonic beast slowly toward Akagi Yoshihiro.
Akagi Yoshihiro noticed that he was approaching stealthily and immediately began to warn him telepathically, "Fellow Daoist, if you get any closer, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Fellow Daoist, save me! I have 20,000 spirit stones on me. If you save me, I will give them to you immediately." However, the man had no intention of leaving. Now that Akagi Yoshihiro had seen through his plan, he didn't even glance at him and charged forward with a demonic beast.
"You're courting death!" Akagi Yoshihiro immediately realized that the newcomer was hostile and launched an attack on him.
The cultivator did not back down. He took out a small cyan shield and blocked the attack. Then, he immediately fled.
