Lin Xiao looked at the beasts in front of him as his lips curled up to form a smile. He was no longer alone and had to run when encountering a large amount of beasts. Now, he could freely fight.

Raising his sword, Lin Xiao made the first move.

Chilling Lake Sword, Fourth Stance!

Swish!

The beasts were roaring as they felt the sudden strike hit their body. Before they could recover, their body suddenly shook as they couldn't move and in the next moment, they felt that their Qi had dissipated, rendering them weak.

Slash!

Blood spurt out as their bodies were chopped into pieces. None of the beasts around them managed to escape unscathed as blades wound formed on their bodies.

There was a flicker and the shadow had moved once more. Any beasts that dared to get close to them would be killed instantaneously.

"Her Highness is really similar to that of an assassin," Lin San commented. He drew his sword and smiled. "But I won't lose to her."

Swish!

They all swiftly made their move and continued attacking the beasts before them. Looking at the scene before him, Lin Yun felt a bit apprehensive. Just a few years ago, he and his brother couldn't even deal with beast rank 1. And just a few months ago, they would still need to take some time to deal with beast rank 4.

But now…

They were all chopping these beasts as if they were no different than chickens. Time passed so swiftly and it allowed them to grow so fast.

Lin Yun readied his sword and began to move too, killing the beasts in front of him with ease.

Mountain Sword! 

"It's much easier to fight the beasts in the beasts' horde now!" Han Jiang let out a hearty laugh, swinging his large axe around. He was feeling thrilled that he could let loose as he wished without the need to worry about anything. 

"Han Jiang, get into the formation!" Lin Yun was speechless. This man always moved away from the formation as he wished without caring for the others.

"Why should I?"

"You…"

"I'm not the only one."

Lin Yun glanced at the side and felt his head ached.

Fan Ling had rushed forward with her fan as both wind and fire formed protective circle around her. Moving the element with ease, Fan Ling continued to eradicate the beasts around her while moving and laughing faintly. Even an idiot could tell that she was enjoying the massacre.

They rarely encountered a large beast horde and it was clear that she was making use of this chance to train her attacks that could affect large crowd all at once.

Of course, she was also one who didn't like to stay in the formation.

"They're all so weak!"

"What weak? Hey, return back here!"

Xia Ye was the quietest among them. His attack pattern was somewhat similar to Princess Lan Yi Hua as he would appear and disappear from time to time. And at that time, there would be beasts who died by his hand.

They were piling up at one side. 

Swish!

At this moment, the beasts number decreased and they could see a beast rank 5 heading to their direction. Their lips curled up to form a smile as they were preparing themselves for another battle. 

Beast Rank 5 was comparable to Golden Core Stage 2.

If it was a year ago, they would certainly try to run away. But now that they had trained for a long time, it was time for them to show the result of their training. 

"Get back to formation!" Lin Xiao shouted.

This time, everyone rushed back to their original position. Even though they would hate to stay near Lu Jian, who was singing in falsetto voice, they had to bear with it if they wanted to deal with the beast.

So far, they hadn't met with any Beast Rank 5 before today. However, they had designed several plans inside their mind for they understood that they could not deal with it on their own.

Lin Yun resisted the urge to roll his eyes when he saw them following his brother's order. When it was him who gave the order, they ignored him but when it was Lin Xiao who gave the order, they followed him.

Forget it, his brother was the leader after all.

"Lu Jian."

"On it." Lu Jian's voice changed once more, to that which the beast hated and would drove them away. This was the agreement they had with each other that they would try their best to make sure that if they encountered Beast Rank 5, they didn't have to bother with other beasts.

Princess Lan Yi Hua suddenly appeared next to Lin Xiao. Her brows furrowed. "I'll make the first move."

"Go."

Swish!

As the beast boar got closer, it managed to ignore the resistance that Lu Jian was giving out. Letting out a roar, he charged closer.

Before he could get close, a shadow bypassed him and his movement stopped.

ROAR!

Slash!

Traces of two blades' line appeared on his side while Princess Lan Yi Hua passed by it. Her twin swords were moving in perfect sync as she was also very quick.

But…

'Too shallow…'

The wound was nowhere near fatal. As the boar tried to attack her, Princess Lan Yi Hua jumped back to her original place while she assessed the boar that was attacking them right now.

"Black Tinder Boar. They have strong defense and also very quick. Their pattern of attack is quite simple, but you need to be careful because their speed can easily surpass yours," Princess Lan Yi Hua gave her analysis.

"I just need to stop him right?" Lin Xiao put on a smile as he swiftly moved. His sword was drawn and cold temperature began to permeate.

Chilling Lake Sword, Fifth Stance!

Bang!

ROAR! (damn you human!)

The moment Lin Xiao moved forward, it also signaled the others to make their move.
