Chapter 739: Demon Beast Horde
"Brother Qin, what should we do now? Help or retreat, we'll listen to you," Mo Wuji said.
Qin Yi said, "Let's help first. These people have guarded the natural barrier for generations and protected Earth, they deserve respect. We can't just stand by and watch."
As he spoke, Qin Yi raised his eyes to look.
Although the cultivation of these demon beasts was not as strong as the armored warriors, they had the advantage of numbers. Moreover, these beasts seemed to lack reason, attacking fiercely and madly. Even after so many had died, those behind showed no fear and continued their frenzy.
The blood of the beasts was green; as the massive bodies fell, the blood gushed like a fountain, and the ground's yellow sand couldn't absorb it fast enough.
"Brother Qin, are we not taking action yet?" Mo Wuji asked.
Qin Yi looked at the petrified armored warriors and said, "I'm releasing you; focus on dealing with the beasts for now, understand?"
"Brother Qin, look quickly," Mo Wuji shouted.
Qin Yi looked up and saw the large ship move, positioning itself across the beast horde. Dozens of black lights shot out from the hull's vents, trailing chains behind them.
These black spears were astonishingly powerful, each one spearing through a dozen or more beasts. The chains clanged as the spears were pulled back.
After about five minutes, the spears fired again, harvesting the lives of the beasts.
Qin Yi and the others recognized these spears; they had been attacked by them on a previous encounter with a large ship. Qin Yi was dragged into the cabin by the chains; if not for his little companion, he might have perished inside.
"These spears should be mechanically propelled, their power is immense, but it takes a long time to reload," Mo Wuji said.
Qin Yi shook his head, "It's not mechanical, it's array."
"Another array, what is this place? Why is it full of arrays?" Mo Wuji was shocked, "Who could set up such exquisite arrays? This person's array skills must have reached the pinnacle."
Qin Yi remained silent, guessing that these arrays might have all been set up by Array Emperor Ning Tian.
Roar...!
The sound rolled like thunder, filled with a violent aura.
Qin Yi and the others looked towards the sound just in time to see a Tiger King over ten meters long, swipe an armored warrior into a bloody pulp with a single paw.
This Tiger King was astonishingly large, standing like a small mountain, surrounded by dense black qi, with crimson eyes and fangs crisscrossing in its mouth, exuding terrifying might.
Qin Yi frowned slightly; this beast's cultivation had actually reached such a realm, equivalent to a human's Divine Separation Stage.
Roar!
The Demon Tiger King roared again, causing the wind and sand to reverse, beasts howled in unison, their combined voices shaking the earth, launching an even more fearsome assault, a reckless charge aimed at breaking through the armored warriors' defenses.
"Beast, stop your arrogance!"
The armored warrior leader yelled angrily, pouncing towards the Demon Tiger King with a momentum that could contend with it.
The Demon Tiger King roared, its paw as large as a millstone swiped directly at the armored warrior leader.
Boom!
The force condensed by the armored warrior leader was smashed by the tiger's paw, which continued its swipe downward.
The armored warrior leader shot backward, dodging the Demon Tiger King's paw. With a bang, the tiger's paw struck the sandy ground, creating a large crater.
"Beast, meet your death!"
The armored warrior leader roared again, charging at the Demon Tiger King, the long saber in hand reflected a chilling light. He swung it in mid-air, the saber energy forming a shadow over ten meters long, crashing down with a roar.
The demon tiger was enveloped in swirling black qi, more concentrated around its head. It suddenly opened its mouth and roared, a sonic wave rolled out, twisting the surrounding wind and sand.
Boom!
The saber energy, over ten meters long, was shattered by the sound wave, and several armored warriors were blown away. A breach appeared in their defense, allowing the beasts to charge in and quickly cause the armored line to break.
"Stop them, don't let a single one escape," the leader shouted frantically, his voice filled with urgency.
Qin Yi flicked his fingers, sending out several Purple Lights that entered the petrified armored warriors, restoring their mobility.
"Kill!" Qin Yi said sternly.
With that, he charged out first.
Holding the little one with one hand, he clenched his other fist and punched, releasing a fist mark that grew with the wind, expanding to the size of a millstone.
Boom!
Blood and flesh flew everywhere, and a weasel over two meters long was blasted into fragments.
The armored warrior leader looked over, evidently surprised that Qin Yi would join the fight.
"Hold the line, leave the breach to me," Qin Yi shouted.
Qin Yi slowly extended his hand, condensing sand into spears. Over ten meters long and as thick as a thigh, the spears shot out, pinning a massive black serpent, as thick as a person, to the sandy ground.
"Wind Blade."
Qin Yi sealed with one hand, and the surrounding sand seemed to pause briefly. Then it erupted, swirling wildly as the wind formed sharp blades, creating a tornado.
Puff!
The tornado formed by the Wind Blades rolled up, soaring like a Demon Dragon, first shredding a giant wolf seven or eight meters long into a blood mist, then dismembering a ferocious Blast Bear into pieces.
Puff!
An ugly head flew ten meters away; a huge serpent was beheaded by Bai Jingqing with one sword, its massive body crashing down like a dead tree, creating a trench in the ground.
Zi Yuan and the other two women also made their move. Though slightly inferior to Bai Jingqing, they were more than enough to deal with the demon beasts.
Qin Yi watched with his own eyes as Hua Rui cleaved a Demon Spider the size of a square table in half with one sword.
Mo Wuji directly used the Painting Sword, transforming grass and trees into swords.
Hundreds of ink swords converged into a Sword Dragon, piercing a Demon Rhinoceros the size of a small mountain, rolling with Demonic Qi, into a sieve, its massive body crashing down, causing the surrounding ground to tremble for a hundred meters.
As long as ink remains, the sword does not fade.
The ink swords turned into black ink qi, reforming into swords, sweeping through the beast horde, sending flesh flying as one demon beast after another fell.
Boom!
An earth-shattering explosion occurred, and Qin Yi turned to see the armored warrior leader battling the Demon Tiger King.
The Demon Tiger King was indeed terrifying, faintly gaining the upper hand.
Qin Yi's lips curled into a slight smile. With a gesture, the ground trembled, lifting a chunk into the air, which then condensed into a massive Sand Hammer the size of a locomotive, smashing down to pulp a giant wolf into bloody pieces.
With a single-handed seal, Purple Light swept across, lifting another part of the sand and forming a massive palm. With a single strike from Qin Yi, the giant Sand Palm smashed three meters long weasels into bursts of blood and flesh, exploding the ground in that area.
In no time, Qin Yi, Mo Wuji, Bai Jingqing, and the three women — a total of six people — slaughtered all the beasts that charged through the breach, leaving none behind, then stepped forward to block the breach.
The armored warriors, fighting fiercely, glanced sideways.
"Don't get distracted during battle. We are allies here to help you," Qin Yi shouted.
