Not long after Qi Huanyu and the others defeated the snow mantises, Tang Chuan and the others were also fighting with a group of white ice scorpions in the depths of the White Fox Valley.
There were at least twenty to thirty ice scorpions, and they were all quite powerful. Tang Chuan and the others were already at a disadvantage, and many disciples were panic-stricken. However, a few of the most powerful ice scorpions in the Void Tempering Stage had suddenly disappeared for some unknown reason.
Tang Chuan and the others were overjoyed, and they immediately counterattacked. Soon, they killed all the ice scorpions and continued forward.
In the air, Su Tongxiao's figure flashed, and then disappeared without a trace.
…
Dozens of silver threads flew down, and a loud sizzling sound was heard. They pierced a white ice python's body, and a huge wound appeared.
The Void Training Stage ice python let out a miserable cry, and its huge body fell to the ground. A large amount of blood gushed out, and the python twitched a few times before it stopped moving.
The silver threads flew back, and turned into a silver flying sword, flying back to Bai Suyuan.
Sun Ke and the others stood near Bai Suyuan, and they formed a circle to protect her. Outside the circle, there were more than a dozen Void Training Stage pythons attacking the six of them.
Sun Ke and the others were also dealing with two or more ice pythons. Although they were at a disadvantage, they could still hold on for a while.
Bai Suyuan didn't stop after killing a python, and she pointed her finger.
The silver flying sword shot out again, and it turned into dozens of silver sword threads, which formed a lotus shape, and shot toward a python that was fighting with Sun Ke.
Sun Ke was delighted, and he hurriedly used his four green flying daggers to help.
Ten days had passed since the trial. They had entered the depths of the Black Ice Mountain, and the demonic beasts they encountered were getting more and more powerful. Today, they were surrounded by more than a dozen Void Training Stage pythons.
The six of them made a prompt decision, and they formed a defensive circle to protect Bai Suyuan, who was the strongest among them, so that she could attack.
Bai Suyuan didn't disappoint them, and she used her secret techniques to kill the pythons one after another.
As time passed, the battle began to favor the six of them.
Dozens of sword threads penetrated a python's body, and although they didn't hit its vital parts, they still stopped its movement.
Whoosh!
A thick purplish-golden staff descended from the sky and struck the giant python's head.
The giant python's head was split into several pieces, and white brain matter mixed with blood splattered out.
"Roar!" A giant white python let out a strange roar, turned around and fled into the distance.
The rest of the giant pythons immediately followed, disappearing into the distant horizon in the blink of an eye.
Bai Suyuan and the others did not chase after them. They had consumed a lot of magic power in this fierce battle. They immediately took out elixirs and spirit stones to recover.
In mid-air, Han Li's figure turned into a blurry shadow and hid in a cloud. He nodded slowly.
Along the way, he did not make a single move.
Bai Suyuan and the others were quite intelligent. Although the battle just now was a little immature in terms of tactics, it was already considered pretty good considering the cultivation of these people.
Bai Suyuan and the others didn't stop for long and quickly continued forward.
Han Li's figure moved and he followed.
But in the next moment, his expression changed slightly as he looked to the side. That person flashed in the void, and Su Tongxiao's figure emerged.
"Brother Su, why are you here? Is it okay if you don't protect those two people?" Han Li said with a smile.
"I've basically cleared the front of the two roads. It's really tiring!
Now that those two groups of disciples have also improved a lot, there shouldn't be a problem.
Although this group of children has excellent qualifications, they are too inexperienced in combat. "Su Tongxiao sighed.
"They grew up in the sect and have the protection of the sect's elders. Naturally, they have not experienced any major setbacks." Han Li said rather disapprovingly.
After all, in his opinion, they only had a body of cultivation, but did not really have the experience of facing life and death battles. Once they encountered a dangerous situation, they would not be of much use at all.
"It's not difficult to improve in terms of combat. There is an Illusory Pagoda in the sect that is specially provided for the true teachings disciples to use. It is specially used to improve the experience of fighting," Su Tongxiao said.
"There is such a place?" Han Li was slightly surprised.
"There are many magical places in the sect. Brother Li, you will find out in time." Su Tongxiao said with a smile.
Han Li nodded silently and suddenly looked up.
Su Tongxiao also furrowed his brows.
In front of Qi Huanyu's road, a Form Synthesis Stage demonic beast was rapidly approaching.
"Huh? A Form Synthesis Stage demonic beast actually appeared in advance." Su Tongxiao murmured to himself.
Han Li narrowed his eyes and the corners of his mouth curled up imperceptibly. He said, "It should be caused by the demonic beasts you cleared in front of the two roads."
"Perhaps." Su Tongxiao said and was about to fly over.
Qi Huanyu's group could not even deal with some Void Training Stage demonic beasts, let alone Form Synthesis Stage ones. To be safe, he had to see this.
At this moment, his expression changed slightly, and he looked in Tang Chuan's direction.
Almost at the same time, another Form Synthesis Stage demonic beast appeared in the range of his divine sense and headed in Tang Chuan's direction.
This demonic beast was a giant bird. It was extremely fast and was about to collide with it.
"Two Form Synthesis Stage demonic beasts!" Su Tongxiao looked slightly anxious.
The three roads were quite far from each other. If he went to Qi Huanyu's side first, Tang Chuan would not make it in time.
Su Tongxiao looked at Han Li and said, "Brother Li, could you do me a favor and help me deal with the demonic beast that Tang Chuan is with? I would be very grateful."
Han Li cast his gaze toward a certain direction, and a conflicted look appeared on his face as he hesitated momentarily before replying, "Seeing as Brother Su has asked, I'll do you a favor."
"Thank you, Brother Li. I am very grateful." Su Tongxiao thanked him and with a flash, he flew into the distance.
Han Li looked at Su Tongxiao's back and after a moment of thought, his figure swayed and disappeared on the spot.
… …
Tang Chuan's group of eight flew forward. According to the map, they were not far from their destination.
Along the way, the number of demonic beasts on the road had decreased by 70%. Their journey was naturally quite smooth.
Tang Chuan knew the reason for the sudden decrease in the number of demonic beasts. It must be the doing of the Perfected Immortal elder who was secretly guarding them.
However, since there was nothing to worry about, whether or not he could become the champion became his top priority.
"Go faster!" Tang Chuan turned around and shouted at the people behind him.
He wanted to reach the snow brown bear as fast as possible and kill it. Everyone else had failed the direct disciple test.
As for whether or not the eight of them could kill the snow brown bear, he was not worried at all.
As long as the Perfected Immortal elder was there, he would not let the snow brown bear kill him. When that happened, that person would have to help.
Tang Chuan was proud of himself. The light around him shone again and he increased his speed.
At that moment, a distant roar came from ahead.
Although it was still far away, the sound was as piercing as a steel needle. It made his eardrums hurt and he could not help but groan. His speed immediately slowed down.
The others' cultivation was not as high as Tang Chuan's, so they were even worse off. They all screamed and covered their ears.
"What is that?" Tang Chuan's expression changed.
Before he finished speaking, a black dot appeared in the sky in front of him. It flew over at an extremely fast speed and arrived in front of him in the blink of an eye. It was a terrifying demonic beast.
This creature was hundreds of feet long and looked like a dragon. However, it was much more ferocious and terrifying than a dragon. There was a pair of wide wings on its back, and every feather was like a sharp sword. Its long tail was filled with huge bone spikes, and there was a scorpion-like barb at the end of its tail. It shone with a faint blue light and was obviously poisonous.
The huge beast emitted a powerful aura. It had reached the level of the Form Synthesis Stage.
"Oh no, why is it a Form Synthesis Stage demonic beast!"
Tang Chuan and the others' expressions changed drastically. They retreated quickly and looked around as if they were looking for something.
The ferocious beast did not give them any time to react. It opened its mouth and let out a roar.
The huge sound wave formed visible ripples in the air and enveloped the eight of them.
Tang Chuan and the others did not have time to take out their magic treasures. They were enveloped by the roaring torrent. The blood and magic power in their bodies were violently surging, and blood gushed out of their orifices.
The huge beast flapped its wings. Thick blue icicles appeared and shot out toward Tang Chuan and the others. They were about to pierce through the eight of them.
At the critical moment, a cyan figure appeared out of thin air before the eight of them. Without saying a word, he pointed a finger forward.
Dazzling rays of green light appeared and intertwined to form a huge light screen in front of the eight of them.
The roaring torrent stopped abruptly. The icicles hit the light screen and shattered.
The huge beast was startled. Its huge eyes looked at the figure that appeared in front of it. It felt the huge aura emitted by the figure and a look of horror appeared in its eyes. It flapped its wings and flew into the distance.
The green figure disappeared in a flash. The next moment, it appeared on the huge head of the huge beast.
He pointed with one hand and a green light shot out and entered the huge beast's head.
Bang!
The huge body of the huge beast suddenly froze. Then, its huge head exploded.
At this moment, a black ball flew out of the huge beast's head and appeared around the green figure. The black light on the surface of the ball was flashing wildly.
The green figure was about to fly away when he saw this.
"Poof!"
These black beads exploded and turned into dazzling black light. They connected with each other and condensed into a huge black light array. Countless black runes were rolling inside it.
The power of law emitted from the light array. The air near the light array became as hard as steel. One could vaguely see a green figure firmly trapped inside.
"What is this?" Tang Chuan and the others were dumbfounded when they saw this scene. They did not know what was happening.
Almost at the same time, in the depths of the Snow Camel Ridge.
Qi Huan Yu and the other five disciples were hiding behind a low hill with a terrified look on their faces. Most of them were heavily injured. It seemed that they had just experienced a fierce battle of life and death.
In the air beside everyone, there were four small people around two inches tall. It seemed that they were the Nascent Souls of the people who had come with them, and their bodies had been destroyed.
Everyone's eyes fell on a huge black light array a few hundred feet in front of the low hill.
The corpse of a huge monster lay on the ground below the light array. Su Tongxiao was firmly trapped in the black light array. His body was blooming with dazzling light as he struggled.
