<h4>Chapter 106: Melee</h4>
As the fighters on the wallnded on the ground, the beast wave was already in front of their eyes.
“Kill!”
Everyone wasn’t too afraid of the initial period of the beast wave eruption. The first group of beasts were normally ss 1 demonic beasts and the treacherous demonic beasts were further back. As long as one did not get singled out, there would be no real danger.
With the demonic beasts right in front of them, everyone ignited their qi and yed demons with all their might.
Pfff pfff pfff…
Blood of the demonic beasts was sttered everywhere. Like cutting down crops, demonic beasts fell patch by patch.
Li Fuchen’s Wind Shadow Steps had already reach the perfection stage, which resulted in the body being light like a feather.
Landing from mid air, his feet didn’t fully touch the ground before gliding out a dozen meters again. As he was gliding, Li Fuchen swung his ck iron sword, producing arge crescent arc to y four ss 1 demonic beasts. Shortly afterwards, a cross sh shed and yet four ss 1 demonic beasts were yed.
Against low ssed demonic beasts, it would be a foolish behaviour to execute higher tiered martial arts.
The higher the martial art tier, the more qi would be consumed, resulting in unnecessary qi consumption.
Of course, if one’s ability was strong enough, there wasn’t even a need to execute yellow ss, low-tier martial arts; normal attacks would suffice.
Li Fuchen wanted to clear a decent sized area for him tond on the ground, which was why he executed the yellow ss, low-tier sword arts, Crescent Sword Style and Tiger Fang Cross sh.
After finding a foothold, Li Fuchen used a single sh to kill a ss 1 demonic beast.
Not far away, the group of Liao Hailong, Wu Qingmei, and Gao Changtian were ying beasts too.
But they didn’t fight individually like Li Fuchen. Liao Hailong’s nine men group formed a formation. The formation was like a meat grinder, wherever it moved, a storm of blood would follow as a whole patch of beasts fell.
“Numbers sure make a difference.”
Li Fuchen wasn’t opposed to joining a team. But a pity that he and Liao Hailong didn’t think alike, joining them would only make himself suffer.
“Myriad Blossom Sword Style!”
On the other side, Blossom Sword Chen Fanghua and Zhao Mingyue immediately disyed a stunning attack once theynded on the ground.
Especially Chen Fanghua.
At the eighth level of the Origin Realm, she was extremely formidable. Everytime her pale red treasure sword shuddered, countless pale red sword lights would be released. As though hundreds of flowers were blooming at the same time, creating a magnificent sight.
Pfff pfff pfff…
At least dozen beasts were yed with this single de. This couldn’t be described as an instant kill, but a multi-kill instead.
“Qi release. An Origin Realm martial artist who can control and release qi… Unimaginable talent.”
The surrounding Origin Realm martial artists were dumbstruck and couldn’t help but shudder when they spoke.
Generally, only Earth Realm martial artists could control and release qi. Those that could do the same during the Origin Realm were all elite prodigies without exception.
Clearing a patch of clear space, Chen Fanghua and Zhao Mingyuended on ground, then like the rest, continued to y 1 or 2 beasts with each de
“This is the multi-kill sword art, Myriad Blossom Sword Style?”
Li Fuchen burnt this scene into his mind.
All were sword arts but different in types.
Some sword arts relied on the countless variations to confuse enemies.
Some sword arts had a high firepower and were more suited for solo fights. A good example would be Li Fuchen’s Meteor Sword Style.
Whereas some sword arts were more suited for group fights, like Chen Fanghua’s Myriad Blossom Sword Style.
In fact, multi-kill sword arts were also quite hard to defend against during a solo fight. When the opponent had no openings to attack, a single sword move of the Myriad Blossom Sword Style was enough to cause the opponent to fumble.
All in all, no matter how strong a Origin Realm martial artist was. They were still Origin Realm martial artists.
On the walls, all the Earth Realm martial artists had not made a move yet.
A lowly ss 1 demonic beast was not worthy enough for them to make a move. Their true enemies were the ss 3 demonic beasts.
But if the demonic beasts came too near to the walls, they would still step in to assist.
A group of a few dozen demonic beasts which was about to crash into the walls, was instantly halted by a Cang Lan outer sect elder.
With a wave of his hand, a vigorous and forceful qi the likes of a dragon rushed at the demonic beasts, stirring up a blood rain.
The entire group of demonic beasts got dealt the death sentence uniformly.
A simple and straightforward method, but much more formidable than Chen Fanghua.
“Living up to the name of an Earth Realm martial artist.”
ying a ss 1 demonic beast was a simple task to Li Fuchen. As easy as eating a meal or drinking water. Others had to concentrate on the demonic beasts, but he could concurrently observe the surroundings and listen in all directions. Once a demonic approached, he would instantly pierce at its fatal point.
Thus, themotion behind him didn’t escape his sight.
This is the first time he is witnessing how an Earth Realm martial artist fought, and it is truly fearsome.
Naturally, it was still far off whenpared to Heaven Dipper Realm martial artists.
During the inner sect trials, that Heaven Realm inner sect elder could create an ice path with a wave of his hand.
Don’t talk about a single Earth Realm martial artist, even ten Earth Realm martial artists would be stopped with just a single palm of a Heaven Realm expert.
As time shifted, ss 2 demonic beasts gradually appeared.
ss 2 demonic beasts were very tough. A single ss 2 beast was able to go head to head with a mid level Origin Realm fighter of the Cang Lan Army. As for those fighters who weren’t from Cang Lan Army, they would need at least 2 or 3 to fight against a single ss 2 beast.
Only Cang Lan inner sect disciples who were of a certain strength could suppress a mid-tier ss 2 demonic beast.
In regards to differences between demonic beasts and martial artists.
Everytime a demonic beast advanced a realm, its ability would be at least 10 fold stronger.
But if a martial artist didn’t cultivate an incredible technique, every realm progressed would not bring about arge increase in ability like the demonic beasts.
Take for example, if you were to cultivate a yellow ss, high-tier technique during Qi Realm and after progressing into the Origin Realm, you were to remain using the yellow ss, high-tier technique; you would never be the rival of a ss 2 demonic beast.
Hence, in order to handle a ss 2 demonic beast, one needed to at least cultivate a yellow ss, peak-tier technique.
In the Cang Lan army, most of the Origin Realm troops cultivated a yellow ss, peak-tier technique. A small minority of them cultivated a mystic ss low-tier technique.
As for Cang Lan inner sect disciples, every one of them were at least of the fifth level of the Origin Realm, which meant they all cultivated at least a mystic ss, mid-tier technique.
Piercing a ss 2 demonic beast in the throat, Li Fuchen thought to himself, ‘When I am at the Earth Realm, if I am still cultivating the mystic ss, mid-tier Scarlet Mystic me Technique, it would be hard for me the handle a ss 3 demonic beast. Unless I make use of other advantages or cultivate a higher tiered technique.’
Thinking about it, Li Fuchen couldn’t help but let out a bitterugh.
The growth rate of a demonic beast sure was terrifying.
It is said that in order to deal with a ss 5 demonic beast, one needed to at least cultivate a mystic ss, peak-tier technique. Even then, it wouldn’t be a guarantee unless it was an earth ss, low-tier technique.
‘Does the Cang Lan Sect even have any earth ss technique?’ Li Fuchen pondered.
Of course, except for cultivation techniques, there were martial arts too. Relying on martial arts, one couldpensate for plenty of disadvantages, if not, the human race would have been eradicated.
“Mm? A ss 2 high-tier demonic beast.”
Coming back to senses, in Li Fuchen’s line of sight, a high leveled Origin Realm fighter got torn apart by a giant ape, resulting in a blood rain that stenched up the whole area.
Hooh! Hooh!
The giant ape drummed its chest, with a violent qi presence, its eyes suddenly turned red and looked at Li Fuchen.
Rumble…
Taking huge strides, it knocked away all Origin Realm fighters along the way. Each one of them were left with broken ribs and were in a crippled state.
The ape type demonic beast had obviously targeted Li Fuchen.
