Chapter 748: Soul Tower of Trial (24)
A single door opened and there was one single spirit beast that came out.
However, this spirit beast had an aura that was far beyond any other spirit beast that they had faced before.
This spirit beast was clearly still in the Qi Condensing Realm, but it was not just in the Mid Qi Condensing Realm. It wasn't even in the High Qi Condensing Realm which would still be much stronger than the Mid Qi Condensing Realm.
This was a spirit beast in the Peak Qi Condensing Realm.
It had skipped two minor realms just like this…
It seemed that the trial wasn't holding back at the very end.
It seemed like this trial really wanted them to fail…
But Huang Xie wouldn't let that happen.
In fact, it seemed like he was the only one that was excited about the strength that this spirit beast possessed.
Unlike the rest of the people that were here who had looks of despair on their faces, Huang Xie looked like he was ready to fight.
This was the feeling of pressure that he had felt from the first Qi Condensing Realm Beast that had appeared. This was the feeling of pressure that told him that he would be able to improve if he were to fight this spirit beast.
He knew that if he really fought this spirit beast, there was no doubt that his physique would become even stronger. .net
But Huang Xie didn't charge out alone this time.
That was because he knew that it wasn't just about him now.
While it would be possible for him to fight this Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast alone, it was without a doubt dangerous. There was no telling just how powerful this Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast really was, so there was the risk that it would be able to overpower him.
For the sake of his sect mates and his allies that were fighting with him, he wasn't able to take this risk.
The only thing that he could do was follow the plan that he had come up with to take down this Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast.
Once the Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast appeared, the first thing that happened was that there were a bunch of attacks that came from all directions at it. These attacks didn't do anything to this Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast, but it did get its attention.
The Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast looked around as if it was looking for where these attacks came from, but all it found were a bunch of small structures all around it.
These were small structures that seemed like barricades, but they were too small to be proper barricades.
It seemed like it would only hold a single person.
There were more of these small barricades than there were people hiding, so it wasn't as if every one of them had someone behind it.
As they hid behind the barricades, they waited for the Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast to turn before coming out to throw out attacks.
Just like this, they were bombarding the Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast with attacks even though it didn't have any effect at all. All of the attacks just bounced off the thick hide of the Peak Qi Condensing Realm and weren't able to even draw any blood.
But that didn't stop them from continuing to throw out these attacks.
It was as if they just wouldn't learn their lesson no matter what happened as they kept throwing out more and more attacks.
Eventually, the Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast lost its temper.
This Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast was a lion that suddenly burst with flames the moment that it lost its temper. The Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast was completely covered in flames and with its mane on fire, it was like a miniature sun.
Just like this, it roared out and released a wave of flames that it had gathered.
This wave of flames spread all around the Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast, burning a few of the barricades that were near it. The flames spread quickly and soon burned the entire barricade, leaving only a pile of ashes behind.
It was a good thing that there was no one near the Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast at this time.
Everyone who had been near moved the moment that the Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast came out since they knew that nothing good would come from staying close to it.
After the Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast finished releasing the flames, it seemed to have what was a satisfied look on its face.
It seemed like it was proud that it had burnt away everything like this.
However, this proud look soon disappeared when the attacks resumed.
The ones that were hiding behind the barricades didn't want to at first, but they had no choice but to attack when Huang Xie threatened them with their soul fragments.
All they could do was throw out these attacks and run as quickly as possible.
When the Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beasts felt these attacks rain down on it once more, it was filled with rage. It had been feeling good about burning down these small barricades, but that mood quickly soured because of these attacks.
It was like being hit with a bunch of mosquitoes biting at it.
So the Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast couldn't hold back its rage as it was covered in flames once more.
After being covered in flames, the Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast didn't actually let out a roar like before.
This time, it gathered those flames around itself which seemed to burn away all of the attacks that came at it. None of the attacks that hit the Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast could resist the flames as they were burnt into nothing.
With these flames around it, the Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast suddenly charged forward.
It was like a giant fireball as it charged forth.
The ones hiding behind the small barricades didn't hesitate to dodge.
They didn't care if they were exposed, they just wanted to get out of the wall of this giant fireball.
But the speed of the Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast was just too much for them.
It seemed like they wouldn't be able to get out of the path of this giant fireball in time.
Or at least that was what they all thought before seeing someone rush forward.
It was someone covered in a faint green light.
This person in the faint green light clashed with the giant fireball and there was a moment where neither side moved forward. But in the end, it was the person who was covered in the faint green light that was pushed back several steps before stopping.
After taking these few steps, that person suddenly stopped.
The giant fireball wasn't able to push this person covered in the faint green light forward any more.
The flames slowly dissipated from this giant fireball and the face of the Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast was revealed.
Shock.
There was only shock on the face of the Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast.
It clearly couldn't believe that there was someone that was able to stop its full force charge like this.
However, that look of shock didn't remain long on its face as the Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast suddenly gave a roar. The moment that this roar rang out, there were flames that once again appeared around it.
It was coated in flames and these flames came towards Huang Xie who had stopped the charge of this Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast.
He didn't stay there to be burnt by the Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast and started moving backwards, but the flames were chasing him. It seemed like the flames had no intention of letting him escape as they followed him.
It was just that as it chased after him, there were less and less flames that surrounded the Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast.
Seeing this happen, Huang Xie revealed a faint smile.
That was because he had already guessed that this was the case.
When the Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast gathered the flames around itself earlier, he had seen that there was only a certain amount of flames that were gathered each time. It was as if this was the most flames that it could gather at once and it couldn't gather anymore once these flames were condensed.
At the same time, it seemed like there was a limit to how much it could control the flames.
Once it got far enough for its body, it seemed like the Peak Qi Condensing Realm Beast wasn't able to use the flames to protect itself.
That was the chance that Huang Xie and the others had been waiting for.
With Huang Xie drawing the flames away, the others who had been hiding suddenly attacked.
This time, it wasn't just the weak ones that attacked, but rather also the Love Sect and the Demon Palm Sect group.
To say that they didn't improve during this time was a lie.
They had been working hard fighting the spirit beasts with Huang Xie, so they had gotten stronger as well from using their skills in combat. At the same time, they had learned how to use their attacks together to greater effect.
So the blood red palm that Mo Sha released was also covered in flames from Xiao Ming.
Though to use flames to attack a spirit beast that used flames…
It seemed like something that only his senior sister could think of.
