Chapter 349: A Precarious Situation

Feng Tianlan and her people quickly retaliated . Someone shot out a Fire Element vortex, and a demonic beast burst into flames . It howled in terrible pain and began to attack even more erratically .

Ahh! Ahh! Ahh!

Endless screams filled the air as the charging demonic beasts tore several cultivators from Lin Suyin’s team into pieces . Some did not even have the luxury of screaming . They were shredded the very instant the monsters caught up to them .

The situation at Feng Tianlan’s wasn’t any less grave . There were simply too many demonic beasts coming at them in waves as ever-churning as the ocean . Unafraid of pain and unfazed by death, they seemed to be driven by one mission and one mission alone: to kill all the humans .

The worst had come . Even if they were injured, the cultivators could not afford to pay their wounds any attention . In the face of the demonic beasts’ endless onslaught, their only chance at survival was to kill their way out . At that moment, both the humans and demonic beasts killed until their eyes turned a murderous red .

“Tianlan, this won’t do . You’re the fastest among us . Escape, and I will cover you,” Luo Yunzhu said as she strangled a Stage 1 demonic beast with her whip . She snapped its neck brutally then threw it at the pack surrounding them . It crashed and knocked some of the monsters off their feet, but they quickly got up and closed in again .

Chuling was becoming exponentially more skilled at using the Silver Silk Net . She used it to dismember a Stage 1 demonic beast that charged at them, killing it on the spot . She had been protecting Feng Tianlan’s left flank all this while . “Leave, my ladies!” she shouted . “Allow this servant to cover you both . ”

Zhang Tiancheng swung his good sword at the beasts lunging at them . Covered in blood from head to toe, one could no longer tell if the blood belonged to the creatures or him . He quickly urged, “Boss, they’ve come for the Spiritual Grass . Give me the Grass, and I’ll lead them away . You all should take this chance to leave immediately . ”

Feng Tianlan initiated her Nature Element powers with her left hand as Fire Element flames gushed out from her right . The vines swept past the beasts like agile snakes, sending them tumbling to the ground . Straight after, huge, raging flames flew out at the demonic creatures, eliciting more cries of agony . In the blink of an eye, a dozen more demonic beasts collapsed, only for another score to take their place .

“These demonic beasts did not come here for the Spiritual Grass . Someone is manipulating them . ” Feng Tianlan’s gaze lowered icily as she raised her hand . Sky-engulfing flames gushed out of her body, and the demonic beasts’ howls instantly jolted the sky and earth .

When they realized that Feng Tianlan was the most powerful of them all, over half of the demonic beasts turned their heads to her and growled . Their sharp claws snapped out as they stormed at her .

“Tianlan . ” Luo Yunzhu and the others could not suppress their frightened screams . The demonic beasts that came at them this time were all Stage 3 demonic beasts, equivalent in power to a Spiritual Master . Furthermore, this was a pack of twenty, almost thirty, demonic beasts coming straight for them .

The four of them went all out and helped slay the beasts . Blood filled the sky at once . It was impossible to distinguish whether the blood was flowing from the demonic beasts or their own bodies . No one cared about the increasingly severe wounds they were suffering .

The flying beasts in the air abandoned all the other cultivators and went straight for Feng Tianlan . They brought down their razor claws, and it was a rain of knives . A chilling tear was heard, and three bloody streaks appeared on Feng Tianlan’s back . She ignored the pain and focused on the flying beast, killing it in the very next instant .

“Miss Feng, look out! Ahh!”

Feng Tianlan turned as she heard the cry only to see Lin Suyin shielding her with her own body . A flying beast dug its claws deeply into Suyin’s shoulder . If Lin Suyin had not thrown herself in front of Feng Tianlan in the nick of time, those claws would have been buried in her skull .

The flying beast grabbed Lin Suyin by the shoulder . With a long whistle, it dragged her skyward . Lin Suyin screamed in pain and severed its claw using the sword in her hand . Her body fell through the air at a shocking speed . Beneath her, millions of demonic beasts awaited . She was doomed .

Feng Tianlan pushed her heels off the ground and leaped up toward Lin Suyin . No matter what plans she may have been concocting, Lin Suyin had saved her life, and that was a fact . She would not watch her die right here .

“Tianlan . ”

“Miss . ”

“Boss . ”

The trio cried out at the precarious scene in front of them . Hundreds of winged, clawed beasts plunged from the skies as countless demonic beasts leaped up from the ground, mouths wide with bloodied fangs . Was this finally the end?
