The Sky River Mountain Range was a forbidden area for the martial artists of the Sky River County. Ordinary martial artists would not be able to leave once they entered.
However, as disciples of the Kamikaze Kenbu, they were not afraid of these rumors and entered without hesitation.
Under Zhuge Yuan's lead, Fang Chen and the others entered the Sky River Mountain Range.
After entering the Sky River Mountain Range, Fang Chen felt a strange aura. The mountain range was quiet and gave off a dangerous vibe.
"Everyone, stay alert and be careful," Zhuge Yuan said.
Then, the five of them rushed into the depths of the mountain range. According to the instructions of the mission, the location of the ancient relic was in the deepest part of the mountain range.
After walking for about an hour, Fang Chen was the last to walk. Suddenly, he felt a strong aura appear behind him.
In an instant, Fang Chen took out the Hidden Dragon Sword and used the Taiyi Dispersing Sword Technique.
Whoosh!
A ray of sword light shot out and instantly pierced the body of the black shadow. In the next moment, a scream was heard.
Bang!
With a loud bang, a colorful cat fell to the ground, losing its life.
"So it's a cat," Zhuge Yuan said when he saw the scene.
"A Qi Transformation Fifth Realm colorful cat dares to sneak attack us. You must have a death wish." Xiao Haobo grinned.
"Just now, Fang Chen killed the colorful cat. There was a commotion. Let's go quickly, or we'll be discovered by other beasts," Zhuge Yuan said in a low voice.
Then, the five of them moved quickly and disappeared from the area.
However, after they left, a very large demonic beast the size of a cheetah appeared beside the multicolored cat's corpse with a bang.
"Roar!"
When the beast saw the colorful cat, it roared at the sky. It was furious and its claws tore at the air.
Upon closer inspection, this cheetah-like beast was actually a cat-type beast. Obviously, this cat-type beast was related to the colorful cat that had died earlier.
"Roar!"
The cat-type demonic beast grabbed the dead tabby cat with its huge claws. Then, with a flash of its body, it quickly chased after them.
Time passed bit by bit. When Fang Chen and the others had walked for about an hour, Zhuge Yuan motioned for them to stop and rest for a while.
"Senior Brother Zhuge, why haven't we encountered any other demonic beasts except for that cat?" asked the fatty, Xiao Haobo.
"Damn fatty, do you want to meet a demonic beast?"
"That's right. The demonic beasts here are extremely powerful. If we were to encounter a single demonic beast, it would be fine. But if we were to encounter a group of demonic beasts, even if we don't die, we would still lose a layer of skin."
Fang Chen sat down cross-legged, not saying anything. Looking around, he began to rest.
However, just as everyone was talking, they suddenly felt the ground tremble.
"Hmm? What's going on? Why is the earth shaking?" Fang Chen asked in surprise.
The earth trembled and disappeared in a flash. Only Fang Chen felt it. No one else felt it at all.
"Fang Chen, are you hallucinating? Why did the earth shake? Why didn't we feel it?" asked Cheng Fei.
"Yeah, you must be hallucinating," said Dugu Feng.
As for Xiao Haobo, he grinned and said, "What kind of powerful demonic beast is capable of making the earth shake?"
The three of them laughed mischievously, thinking that Fang Chen was hallucinating. Only Zhuge Yuan saw Fang Chen's expression and walked over to Fang Chen. He whispered, "Fang Chen, what did you sense?"
Fang Chen said, "I sensed a powerful aura approaching us. Although it's doing its best to conceal it, I can still sense it."
"You're saying that the trembling of the earth has something to do with that aura?" Zhuge Yuan's expression changed slightly.
Fang Chen nodded. "It's not safe here. Let's leave quickly."
For some unknown reason, Fang Chen kept feeling uneasy, as if danger was about to descend.
Hearing Fang Chen's words, Zhuge Yuan looked around and said, "Prepare to leave."
"Senior apprentice-brother Zhuge, we haven't even rested yet." Xiao Haobo grinned.
Just as Cheng Fei and Dugu Feng were about to speak, the earth shook once more.
This time, the few of them finally felt the ground tremble. Their faces changed drastically as they looked at Zhuge Yuan.
"The earth is shaking? Is there danger approaching?" asked Cheng Fei hastily.
"Let's go!" Zhuge Yuan shouted, preparing to lead the group away.
However, it was already too late.
Just as Zhuge Yuan's voice faded, Fang Chen had already taken out the Hidden Dragon Sword. That was because the earth was shaking more and more violently.
"What kind of demonic beast is it?!" cried Xiao Haobo.
Roar!
Following the earth's shaking, a furious roar came from the distance. In the next moment, a demonic beast the size of a cheetah appeared in front of them.
"How is this possible?!" Seeing this demonic beast, everyone cried out.
It was clearly very small, only the size of a cheetah. However, every step it took caused the earth to shake. Just how much strength did it require?
"It's a cat type demonic beast."
Fang Chen suddenly shouted. In the next moment, Fang Chen's expression changed. He seemed to have thought of something.
"The multicolored cat we killed before was related to it!" Fang Chen roared.
Hearing Fang Chen's words, the four of them looked at the demonic beast and discovered that it really was a cat type demonic beast.
"Damn it, why is a cat type demonic beast so big?!" Zhuge Yuan couldn't help cursing.
At this moment, they couldn't escape. They could only fight to the death.
"No wonder it could make the earth shake when it walked. It's a mutated cat type demonic beast," said Cheng Fei.
"Roar!"
The cat demonic beast suddenly stopped and looked at Fang Chen's group with its big eyes. Then, it gently placed the multicolored cat on the ground.
"It wants to avenge the multicolored cat!" Zhuge Yuan shouted.
In the next moment, the cat demonic beast made its move. With a stomp of its foot, the entire ground shook. Fang Chen's group couldn't stand still.
"Bang!"
The cat demonic beast clenched its claws into fists and punched at the five of them. Wherever the fist passed, even the air dissipated.
"Taiyi Dispersing Sword!"
"Absolute Heaven Sword Technique!"
Fang Chen's group was shocked. They all displayed their strongest sword techniques. The sky was filled with sword light, crisscrossing, and directly colliding with the cat demonic beast's fist.
"Crack!"
A strong force was transmitted from the cat demonic beast's fist. This fist directly shattered the sword light that filled the sky.
Fang Chen's Hidden Dragon Sword slashed at the cat demonic beast's fist. Intense sparks appeared, and Fang Chen's hand was in pain from the impact.
"What a strong defense!" Fang Chen exclaimed helplessly.
Even the high-grade Yuan Weapon, Hidden Dragon Sword, couldn't pierce the cat demonic beast's fist. One could only imagine how strong the cat demonic beast's defense was.
"It's too strong. This cat demonic beast's strength is at least in the Ninth Realm of the Qi Transformation Realm. We can't beat it. Run!" Zhuge Yuan shouted.
Hearing Zhuge Yuan's words, the five of them immediately split up and fled.
Roar!
The cat demonic beast roared. Its body flashed, and it quickly chased after them.
"Split up!" Zhuge Yuan shouted. Then, the five of them turned into five streaks of light and fled in five different directions.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Fang Chen's speed was very fast. In a short while, he had escaped from the battlefield. But just as he thought that he had escaped the cat demonic beast's attack range, an angry roar suddenly came from behind him.
"Damn it, why is it chasing me?" Fang Chen couldn't help but curse. Then, he increased his speed again.
"Roar!"
The cat demonic beast was closing in from behind, while Fang Chen was fleeing quickly.
Bang!
Just as the cat demonic beast was about to reach Fang Chen, it suddenly spat out a ball of fire from its mouth. It directly hit Fang Chen's back.
Crack!
The ball of fire instantly burned Fang Chen's back.
"Ah!"
Fang Chen let out a miserable cry. His body was on the verge of collapse. But at this moment, Fang Chen released the four captains.
Crash!
The moment the four captains appeared, they immediately set up a powerful formation, trapping the cat demonic beast within.
Roar!
The cat demonic beast's angry roar could still be heard. But Fang Chen's face was grave. The ball of fire that the cat demonic beast spat out was too powerful. It directly burned his back.
If the golden heart hadn't released a clear stream at the critical moment to extinguish the ball of fire, Fang Chen would have been burned to a pulp, if not dead.
"Run."
The bloody skeleton informed Fang Chen. Although the four of them controlled the formation and trapped the cat demonic beast, the cat demonic beast was too powerful. They couldn't kill it.
After Fang Chen heard the news, he immediately made a decision, and that was to escape.
"I'll escape first. You guys find a way to follow me." After Fang Chen finished speaking, his figure flashed as he turned and left.
After Fang Chen disappeared, the four captains launched a fierce attack on the cat demonic beast. However, the cat demonic beast was too powerful, so they could only launch a sneak attack.
In the Heavenly River Mountain Range, ten cultivators were moving forward in an open space. Looking at the insignia on their bodies, they should be disciples of the Heavenly Goose Mountain.
On their collars, there was a wild goose flying. At a glance, one could tell that they were disciples of the Heavenly Goose Mountain.
The Heavenly Goose Mountain was one of the top ten Sect of the Divine Wind Nation. Its power spread throughout the entire Divine Wind Nation. It was very powerful.
This time, the Heavenly Goose Mountain also received news that an ancient ruin had appeared here, so they sent disciples to explore.
There were ten disciples in total, and the leader was the number one outer sect disciple of the Heavenly Goose Mountain, Feng Xueshan.
Feng Xueshan's cultivation had reached the peak of the Sixth Realm of the Qi Transformation Realm. But his true strength was definitely comparable to a Seventh Realm martial artist.
The Heavenly Goose Mountain disciples led by Feng Xueshan were walking when they suddenly heard an angry roar. Immediately, their faces changed.
"The roar of a beast. Is there a battle?" Feng Xueshan stopped and said softly.
"Senior Brother Feng, should we go take a look? Maybe it's a disciple of the top ten Sect," a disciple said.
