As his thoughts spread, Lo Fan approached the demonic beasts with the demon essence crystal in hand. The demonic beasts growled in fear and retreated one after another.
Feeling the remaining aura of the Spirit Formation and seeing the endless beast tide, Lo Fan's heart trembled. How many demon essence crystals were there to make all the demonic beasts in this space go crazy!?
Lo Fan returned to the mountain peak and brought Mo Yin and Fang Ruoxue down. He looked at Fang Ruoxue and said, "Ruoxue, take it and find Myeongjong's people. Tell them about this!"
As Lo Fan spoke, he handed the demon essence crystal to Fang Ruoxue. Fang Ruoxue nodded and left. Lo Fan helped Mo Yin settle down. Then, Lo Fan moved and sensed the fluctuations of the Four Corners Spirit Formation. He kept breaking the Spirit Formation and took out the demon essence crystals. One by one, the size of a fingernail, Lo Fan felt heavy. At this moment, he had already obtained 17 demon essence crystals.
The demonic beasts retreated after the demon essence crystals were taken out. Wreckage was everywhere. Some people managed to escape and retreated, but the endless beast tide was still there.
"We're rich, we're rich! There are so many demon essence crystals. Lo Fan, if you can find some more, I can immediately become your Spirit Formation and help you become a Rank Four Formation Master!" Dragon Soul said excitedly.
Luo Fan looked at the demonic beasts that were still in a frenzy. When he looked over, the Beast Tide still hadn't retreated. Just as Luo Fan was about to turn around, a feminine shout came from the foot of another mountain not far away!
"F * ck off! You bunch of evil beasts, f * ck off!"
"..."
There was a sense of urgency and fear in the voice. When Luo Fan turned to look, it was the two young girls who had tried to stop Luo Fan from ascending the mountain. At that moment, the two young girls were covered in blood and wounds. One of the young girls' clothes was torn at the shoulder, and a hideous claw mark revealed her white bone.
The two of them held weapons in their hands and kept driving the demonic beasts away. Behind them, Lin Meng had already fainted. There were a few people around, but they were all injured and kept retreating.
Roar!
The demonic beasts roared and pounced towards the two young girls. Lo Fan frowned. After a moment of hesitation, he decided not to pursue the grudges between him and the two young girls and Lin Meng. He couldn't help but walk forward.
However, as Lo Fan walked towards them, the demonic beasts felt the aura of the demon essence crystals and retreated towards the direction of the two girls. For a moment, the number of demonic beasts on the two girls' side increased.
Looking at the demonic beasts, Lo Fan performed an incantation gesture. His soul power spun as he performed the incantation gesture. Not too far away from the group of cultivators, numerous runes began to light up. Seeing the runes light up, Lo Fan rushed forward. Just as he was about to follow the ripples of the runes to break the spirit array, however, a voice suddenly rang out from off in the distance.
"Thief, how dare you!"
However, at this moment, a ray of light suddenly flashed and turned into a bolt of light that blasted toward Lo Fan.
Hmm?
Lo Fan frowned. When he glanced sideways, spiritual light danced, and with a backhand slash!
Ding!
The moment the two clashed, the spiritual light scattered, and the longsword let out a buzzing sound as it trembled. Luo Fan retreated, and he could not help but frown. At that moment, a figure stood in front of him!
"Someone is indeed causing trouble. Thief, what are you trying to do!"
The person was a handsome young man in his twenties. He was holding a long saber with his brows tightly furrowed. A powerful aura surrounded him, indicating that he was in the sixth-tier of the Spirit Tempering Realm. At this moment, two other figures moved and landed in front of the two young girls.
Lo Fan looked at the young man who had suddenly appeared, and his eyes flashed with fierceness.
The young man stared at Lo Fan with murderous intent. "I saw everything you did just now, and you still want to deny it? The elders in the Sect said that this beast tide was caused by someone. So it was you!"
Hearing the young man's words, Lo Fan frowned. He originally wanted to break the spirit array and make the demon essence crystals appear to repel the demonic beasts. However, he was mistaken for the beast tide that he had caused!
"Senior Brother!"
When the three young men arrived, the two young girls almost burst into tears. One of them looked in Lo Fan's direction with determination and said, "Senior Brother Lin Qing, it was him. Last night, Dream Lady was comprehending the Ten Direction Monument. He ignored her and insisted on climbing the mountain. Dream Lady was injured for no reason, and then the beast tide came. Dream Lady is unconscious now …"
"What!"
Hearing the young girl's words, Lin Qing instantly looked at Lo Fan with even more murderous intent.
Lo Fan's eyes turned cold, and anger surged in his heart. He originally wanted to save everyone, but he was mistaken for someone with ulterior motives. He looked at Lin Qing with a cold gaze and said, "It wasn't me. It has nothing to do with me!"
Clang!
Lin Qing held his saber horizontally, and his eyes were filled with coldness. "If it wasn't for you, do you think a mere second-tier Spirit Tempering Realm like you would be able to survive until now?"
"Junior Brother Lin Qing, don't waste your breath on him. Take him back to the Sect for interrogation!"
"Why am I still alive has nothing to do with you!"
At this moment, Luo Fan's eyes turned frosty. He had wanted to help, but who would be willing to do so? Luo Fan took a deep breath and didn't want to bother with Lin Qing anymore. He turned around and was about to leave, but when he saw Luo Fan turn around, Lin Qing's eyes turned dark and he shouted.
"Trying to leave?"
All of a sudden, Lin Qing made his move. The broadsword in his hand slashed down at Luo Fan. Luo Fan sensed it. When he turned around and saw the broadsword coming down, he frowned. He immediately brandished his longsword horizontally and met the broadsword head-on!
Clang!
With one strike, sparks flew in all directions. Luo Fan couldn't help but retreat several feet. However, as Luo Fan retreated, the demonic beasts all avoided him. None of them dared to get within thirty feet of Luo Fan!
Eh?
Seeing the beasts avoiding Lo Fan, the murderous intent in Lin Qing's eyes intensified, and he said, "And you still say it wasn't you? If it wasn't you, why would the beasts avoid you?"
"Bastard!"
Clang!
The young man's sword turned into a clang, and a wave of anger emerged. He looked at Lin Qing and shouted, "Do you really think I'm easy to bully?"
"Heh, a mere second-layer Spirit Tempering Realm, what's the big deal!"
Lin Qing sneered, and his saber danced wildly. With a flash of cold light, he leaped and slashed at Lo Fan. Enraged, Lo Fan turned his sword, and rays of sword light fell in all directions. When he waved his sword, a trace of sword intent emerged, and a sword slashed at Lin Qing!
Under the light of the saber and the shadow of the sword, Lo Fan clashed with Lin Qing, fearless. The sound of the sword and the saber clashing shocked everyone. At this moment, the two figures were forced to retreat.
Looking at Lo Fan, Lin Qing's eyes revealed a hint of seriousness. He was a sixth-layer Spirit Tempering Realm cultivator, but the young man in front of him was only a second-layer Spirit Tempering Realm cultivator, and yet he was able to fight him head-on.
However, in the next moment, Lo Fan stepped in all directions, and sword light appeared, messing up the Square Eyes. With the cold light, Lo Fan attacked Lin Qing. At this moment, the sword intent of the sword moved, and an indescribable sharpness followed.
"This …"
In that instant, Lin Qing's eyes suddenly trembled, and when he wielded his saber to meet the attack, his eyes were filled with amazement!
Boom!
A dull sound was heard. Luo Fan's sword had shaken Lin Qing, and a terrifying force was transmitted over. The edge of the sword trembled and gave off a soft sound. Lin Qing was retreating, and deep footprints appeared under his feet!
At this moment, the eyes of the two girls trembled in an instant, and when they looked at the young man, they were filled with horror …
