The Netherworld Divine Pond was a wondrous place. It was surrounded by mountains and was located in a valley in the middle of the mountains.
There were many high-rank sacred beasts coiling around it, devouring the heaven and earth and protecting the divine pond.
The ancient trees, spiritual flowers, and strange herbs all seemed to be absorbing the essence of the divine pond and were brimming with vitality. Their levels were not low either, causing the environment to be very beautiful.
When Ling Xiao arrived, he realized that no one had entered the Netherworld Divine Pond. Instead, they were fighting with the ninth-order sacred beasts.
Among these sacred beasts, there were several tenth-order sacred beasts. They had already sealed off the area, their powerful bodies forming the strongest shield. Anyone who approached the Netherworld Divine Pond would be mercilessly attacked.
There were thousands of these sacred beasts, like a herd of beasts. There were lions, tigers, leopards, wolves, eagles … all sorts of sacred beasts were present.
Many wanted to forcefully break through the sacred beasts' blockade and enter the Netherworld Divine Pond, but they were powerless.
Although they were Demigod Kings or peak Holy Emperors, they were powerless against tenth-order sacred beasts. Moreover, there were so many ninth-order sacred beasts around them. Their powerful bodies and attacks were not something ordinary weapons could harm.
For a moment, the humans and the beasts were locked in a battle. Blood splattered everywhere, and roars and screams rang out incessantly.
No matter how dangerous it was, they were willing to risk it all in order to become true Godly Kings.
As long as they could become Godly Kings one day, they would not be afraid of these sacred beasts. They could even suppress them and make them submit to them as protective spiritual beasts. It was killing two birds with one stone.
Ling Xiao smacked his lips and said, "This is huge. There are so many holy beasts in this place. Could it be that this is a paradise for holy beasts?"
He could not be bothered with them. His gaze was constantly searching for his fellow Dragon Gate disciples.
However, before he could find it, a Level 9 Lion Eagle descended from the sky, pouncing towards him. That sharp beak, sharp claws, all of them were lethal weapons.
"Come at me!"
Ling Xiao shouted. His body fluttered like a willow leaf and instantly dodged the Lion Eagle's attack. His body then gently landed on the Lion Eagle's back.
The Lion Eagle was furious. It did not expect that this human could actually dodge its attack and even step on its back. It spun and flipped its body, trying to throw Ling Xiao off.
However, Ling Xiao's feet were like a waterfall, heavily stomping on its back.
Yo!
The Lion Eagle's back caved in from Ling Xiao's stomp. Fresh blood spurted out, and the Lion Eagle's huge body fell heavily to the ground.
Ling Xiao did not want to waste any time. The Ice and Fire Sword appeared in his hand. He directly cut off the Lion Eagle's head and took out its beast core.
At this moment, Ling Xiao scanned the area in front of him again. He also discovered that the Dragon Gate disciples had joined forces to fight against some Sacred Beasts.
Each and every one of the Heavenly Dragon Sect disciples are holding Divine Tools. They are the elites of the Heavenly Dragon Sect. They will not be lenient when killing Sacred Beasts. They are the most valiant group. Lei Zhengyang is showing off his valiant attacks. He is actually able to challenge a rank ten Sacred Beast and is not at a disadvantage. It is clear that he has some ability.
However, if it were not for Yao Meihong who was beside him, he would not have been able to show off so much.
Ling Xiao fixed his gaze on the dozen or so juniors in the clan. He discovered that they had already unleashed their full strength. Their abilities had increased tremendously. Ordinary Sacred Beasts could not do anything to them at all.
If it were not for the fact that there were too many Sacred Beasts, they would have long broken through the encirclement and entered the Ghost Divine Pond.
Ling Xiao was relieved. They were the pride of the clan and naturally had extraordinary abilities. It was not his turn to help them for the time being.
Ling Xiao's gaze shifted again and landed on the disciples of the Blazing Flame Merchants.
The overall abilities of the Blazing Flame Merchants were not bad. Only a few of them had died. Compared to the other forces, they were considered to be intact.
When Ling Xiao's gaze landed on Lie Ruyu and Zhou Zhijing, the two of them found it a little difficult to deal with him.
They did not know if these Sacred Beasts were male. There were a few more around them compared to the others.
Lie Ruyu's combat abilities were much stronger than Zhou Zhijing's. The power of her twin fire rings was very strong. The moment the Sacred Beasts came into contact with them, they were smashed to pieces. The surging flames immediately burned them until they screamed.
Her Protective Fire Phoenix was also very powerful. It had the bloodline of a Divine Beast and could suppress a few Sacred Beasts at the same time.
As for Zhou Zhijing, she was also a Demigod King. However, in terms of combat abilities, she was much weaker than Lie Ruyu, who had the body of the Fire God. Her Sacred Beasts were also surrounded and killed by those Sacred Beasts.
If not for Lie Ruyu helping her from time to time, she would have been swallowed alive by the Sacred Beasts.
"Junior Sister, don't worry about me. As long as we get through here, the Divine Pond will not be attacked by the Sacred Beasts anymore!" Zhou Zhijing called out to Lie Ruyu.
"No, I'm here. I can definitely help Senior Sister break through the encirclement!"
Lie Ruyu was a stubborn person. She responded and the fire rings turned into countless rings that continuously attacked the surrounding Sacred Beasts.
Zhou Zhijing gritted her teeth and fought on the side. However, at this time, a Dragon-Leopard was waiting for an opportunity to attack. While she was dealing with another Sacred Beast, it pounced towards her.
Lie Ruyu was busy and did not realize that this beast was actually so cunning. Meanwhile, Zhou Zhijing was so scared that her face turned pale. It was already difficult for her to fight two Sacred Beasts at the same time. Now, a mid-tier Ninth Stage Wind Attribute Sacred Beast suddenly appeared. Wasn't this going to kill her?
Zhou Zhijing's heart had already fallen to the bottom of the valley. It was already impossible for her to escape. There were still two high-tier Sacred Beasts waiting on her left and right. There was no way out!
Just as she was about to perish, a strong gust of wind came and a sparkling sword ray streaked across like a shooting star.
Pfft!
The Dragon-Patterned Leopard didn't even have the time to scream before it was split into two.
A huge pool of blood blossomed in the sky like brilliant fireworks.
Zhou Zhijing was still stunned on the spot.
That person exclaimed, "You silly girl, there are still two Sacred Beasts!"
Then, like a light breeze, that person pulled Zhou Zhijing into his arms and dodged the combined attack of the other two Sacred Beasts.
Zhou Zhijing felt that firm and safe chest and a sense of security that she had never felt before came over her.
She opened her eyes wide and looked at the man who was hugging her. Her beautiful eyes rippled with an indescribable feeling.
At this time, Lie Ruyu had also shaken off the Sacred Beasts' combined attack and rushed towards Zhou Zhijing. When she saw the man who was hugging Zhou Zhijing, her eyes turned sour. She no longer cared about her image and shouted, "That damned Ling Xiao, he only hugged Senior Sister and not me!"
Then, she threw herself at Ling Xiao and hugged Ling Xiao's sturdy waist tightly.
There were beauties in front and behind him. The fragrance of virgins made Ling Xiao feel that it was incomparably wonderful.
However, he knew that this was not the time to be intimate. There were many Sacred Beasts in the surroundings, eyeing them covetously.
"All of you, move to the side. I will kill a path for you and send you in first!" Ling Xiao shouted as he released Zhou Zhijing from his embrace.
Zhou Zhijing left his embrace and felt a faint reluctance in her heart. Lie Ruyu also unwillingly released Ling Xiao.
Now that Ling Xiao was free from the restraints, he dashed forward. His speed was extremely fast, and the Saint Beasts were unable to react in time. Streaks of fiery sword light swept across their bodies.
Roar!
Roar! Those Sacred Beasts were cut by the Ice and Fire Swords and cried out in pain. The Heavenly Fire directly burned their bodies, making it even harder for them to escape.
Ling Xiao had long since treated the two girls as his good friends. He planned to send them in first before returning to help the people of Dragon Gate. He kept increasing his battle prowess. The Limitless Doppelganger Technique split into a hundred, and the nearby Stage Nine Sacred Beasts were all surrounded by his attacks.
The Sacred Beasts' bodies were powerful and powerful, but their speed was far inferior to Ling Xiao's, who had already comprehended the profound realm of movement techniques. He was like a puddle of mud, and the one hundred and eight figures constantly shuttled through the gaps in front of them.
None of the Sacred Beasts could withstand the power of the Ice and Fire Swords in his hands.
In just a few blinks of an eye, the position that was blocked by a dozen Sacred Beasts was forcefully blasted open by Ling Xiao.
Before the other Sacred Beasts could close in, Ling Xiao had already shouted at the two girls who were in a daze, "Hurry up and go over!"
Lie Ruyu and Zhou Zhijing came to their senses and rushed in the direction of Ling Xiao.
Lie Ruyu yelled, "Ling Xiao, come in with us!"
"Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and get in!" Ling Xiao urged.
He could already sense that even more powerful Sacred Beasts were coming, and if they didn't go in now, they would be in trouble.
Lie Ruyu still wanted to say something, but Zhou Zhijing pulled her and said, "Little Junior Sister, let's go in first. Ling Xiao will definitely find a way in!"
Zhou Zhijing had just pulled Lie Ruyu away when a black shadow that blotted out the sky appeared above Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao looked up and felt his scalp go numb.
This was the most powerful Sacred Beasts among them, the Three-Tailed Bat.
When it spread its black wings, it already occupied more than half of the area in the sky. Its sinister eyes, bloodthirsty mouth, powerful claws, and three powerful tails were like a black devil attacking, instilling an incomparable sense of malevolence and fear.
This was a mutated Ancient Beast that liked to eat living things, and it was unusually ferocious.
This was a genuine Tenth-Order Savage Beast. Although it was only at the peak of the low-level, it was definitely enough to shock everyone here.
This was not something that the Tenth-Order Lion Beast that Lei Zhengyang was dealing with could compare to.
This Three-Tailed Bat had been paying attention to the humans here, and the sudden killing power that Ling Xiao displayed just now had attracted its attention.
It was certain that this human was the most powerful one among them, so it had to get rid of him first.
"Oh, my god!" Ling Xiao let out a strange cry and instantly dashed in a certain direction.
He was now using all his combat power and his body technique to the extreme. He was like a gust of wind, and no one could catch his figure.
The Three-Tailed Bat was much more powerful than Ling Xiao, so it could naturally capture Ling Xiao's figure. It spread its wings, and its huge body moved like a mountain, but it was also astonishingly fast.
Ling Xiao looked at one of the people who was going to fight, and a fierce look appeared on his face as he muttered, "Let's see how you're going to show off this time!"
