Chapter 3397: Storm Brewing

terday hadn't faded, and he grinned and said: "Of course! We're about to have a martial arts competition soon. Chinese martial arts relies on me to save it. Who has time to sleep""Hey, how's my kung...The cold jade ice hawk flew past, but this was not the last wave of attack. Behind them, another patch of thunderclouds rolled in.

Compared to before, the number of fairies, monsters, and beasts this time is not too many, about fifty or so.

But it was much larger, and its entire body was crackling with brilliant lightning, making a sizzling sound in the air, it was imposing.

Sky-thunder Eagle, a seventh-order celestial monster, and it's of the lightning element.

So many Sky Thunder Eagles gathered together, with booming thunder, as if it were a miniature storm cloud.

Reaching above Xiao Qing and Leng Qingqiu, the Skythunder Eagle opened its massive maw, unleashing thick bolts of lightning like water buckets from the sky, dense and overwhelming.

Compared to the water and fire attacks just now, this lightning attack is much more fierce.

Leng Qingqiu's expression was grim. She wielded the Lu Xian Sword, slashing repeatedly to shatter the arcs of lightning above her head. She then killed two Tian Lei Hawks.

As a shapeshifting fairy, the demonic beast Xiaoqing's fighting style remained simple and brutal. She relied on her physical resilience to withstand attacks, then unleashed her fists to obliterate three Heavenly Thunder Eagles.

However, the attacks of this seventh-order Thunder System fairy beast were much stronger than before. Although it was unharmed, its body was scorched black and looked rather embarrassed.

"Damn you! I'm not finished with you!"

Xiaqing was furious, and just then the earth trembled again. The spear-wielding ground lizard had returned.

However, the tactics used this time are somewhat different from the previous ones. This time, the spearmen are in the front, and the archers are in the back.

The Gila monster advanced, the ten-tailed scorpion constantly releasing its venomous spines behind it.

But on the other side, there was a great earthquake and the wolf cavalry came charging back.

Meanwhile, the three-legged firebird, cold jade ice falcon, and thunder eagle in the sky again formed a formation, bombarding pair by pair.

Ye Bufan patted his forehead, This is a large-scale army operation. Fortunately, there's no water here, otherwise we might really have a navy.

Although Lengqingqiu and Xiaqing had the advantage in terms of strength, facing such a powerful army group, their attacks were still under immense pressure.

Each of these immortal beasts could be killed with a single move, but when they gather together, they are still fearless. This is quite a headache.

The battle raged fiercely, incredibly brutal.

One by one, the fairy beasts fell, and the air grew thick with the stench of blood.

This time, it's no longer a one-sided situation. Facing such a powerful attack, Xiaqing and Leng Qingqiu also started to show injuries.

Only, one had a powerful physical body while the other had a formidable protective fairy qi. They only sustained some superficial wounds.

As Ye Bufan said before, the best way to quickly improve one's strength is through battle, through the tempering of blood and fire.

As time went on, not only did Leng Qingqiu and the other person show no signs of decline, but they became even more valiant in battle, their strength growing stronger with each fight.

Under such immense pressure, Xiaoqing's dragon soul and physical body became increasingly intertwined.

Leng Qingqiu was also so, the inheritance of the First Sword Immortal began to merge with her sword intent, divine sense, and martial arts techniques little by little.

On the side of the immortals, demons, and beasts, the losses were mounting. After about an hour, they had lost nearly one-third of their forces.

However, these monsters seemed like a well-disciplined army, with no chaos at all. They still launched their attacks fearlessly.

Ye Bufan thought the battle would continue, but just then, the leader of the Thunder Eagles in mid-air let out a sharp cry.

Then these monsters began to retreat into the surrounding mountains and forests, and in the blink of an eye, they were gone.

It truly came and went like the wind. If it weren't for the earth being stained red with the blood of monsters, one would think nothing had happened at all.

"That's so weird."

Ye Bufan watched the direction the fairy beast had left, his heart filled with confusion.

This is no longer the mindless monster of old, the lone wolf fighter. This is a well-trained soldier.

The key question is, who exactly trained these celestial beasts and mythical creatures

Normally, it should be the King of Beasts who commands them, but even a Ninth-Rank Immortal Monster Beast couldn't possibly understand military strategy.

The Creator was fair, giving them powerful physiques but not the clever minds or the learning abilities of humans.

If it was trained by humans, where is that person And who has the capability to command so many immortal and demonic beasts

Taking everything into consideration, the Beast King's possibility is the highest. Could it be that monsters can also learn military strategies

Thinking about this, he looked at Xia Qing beside him: "How did the fight go Did you notice anything"

"This is so satisfying! I feel like I've gotten even stronger since before"

Xia Qing clenched her tiny fists, beaming with excitement. After this battle, her fusion with the Dragon Soul had grown even stronger.

"As for other things, haven't you noticed anything peculiar For instance, why do those immortal beasts employ such a fighting style"

Xiaqing looked utterly bewildered: "Fighting style, what fighting style I think they're just too stupid. They all charge at me together, it saves me the trouble of chasing them one by one!"

Ye Bufan patted her head, thinking to herself that she had only reached the third level of Tetris. It seemed she had overestimated herself.

Xiaoqing stayed by her side, constantly transforming into human form. Among the monsters, she was definitely the most intelligent.

Even if she couldn't see through the opponent's battle tactics, how could she possibly train an army of monsters

Xiaoqing was becoming more and more confused: "Brother Ye, what are you talking about"

"It's okay."

Ye Bufan would certainly not be foolish enough to discuss military strategy with her. He changed the subject and said, "How was the battle just now Was there a big harvest"

"Of course, it's not just about gaming that speeds up the fusion with Dragon Soul, fighting is even more effective."

Xiaoqing's face was filled with excitement, "I feel that I am not far from reaching the ninth-order monster level."

Leng Qingqiu also said, "I have also made great progress. It shouldn't be long before I can break a seal."

"Great job, keep it up!"

Ye Bufan nodded, it seems that his strategy of fighting while improving his strength is still very effective and has good results.

"Let's continue."

After finishing their conversation, the three continued on their journey. However, this time things were different; they encountered a multitude of fantastical creatures and spirits along the way, making their path more perilous.

But ever since that last battle, they hadn't seen a single one along the way, not even low-level ones.

"Brother Ye, what happened Did we scare them all away"

"Definitely not!"

Ye Bufan shook his head, “Don’t even talk about us not having seen the Beast King yet. Even for eighth-order monsters, seeing one is rare.”

The vast majority of attackers who have launched an attack so far are level five, six, and seven. This means the powerful opponents are still behind.

He did have that feeling, a calmness before the storm.

The scattered attacks are gone, which only means the next battle will be even more fierce.

Three people kept moving forward, getting closer and closer to their target.

The surrounding area was eerily quiet, with a strange atmosphere permeating the woods.

The wind howls as the clouds gather, Ye Bufan senses that his opponent's attack is about to begin.

At that very moment, a piercing sound of air breaking echoed from behind them. At lightning speed, four figures materialized, blocking their path.nvestment Company in China.""This one I've heard before."Lee Ji-hyun nodded.
