Chapter 1077: I Am Xu Nian
"Kill!"
Li Tiangang gave the command, charging into the herd of Fierce Beasts first.
His Immortal Essence surged, and he struck a palm towards the Fierce Beasts out of thin air.
A dozen Fierce Beasts in front were instantly sent flying, some even had their bodies crushed, blood spilling everywhere.
There's no denying that Li Tiangang's strength is truly formidable.
Similarly, Liu Bai Ru and Lin Shanhai also rushed into the circle of Fierce Beasts.
Liu Bai Ru's sharp sword swept horizontally, the sword light fierce.
Directly slicing two Fierce Beasts in half.
Lin Shanhai was equally ferocious, his Long Spear like a dragon, instantly shredding a Mid-level Fierce Beast into pieces.
This was due to the fact that their weapons were Immortal Artifacts.
On the other side, Li Anshan had also summoned his weapon, a short saber.
Red flames like red ghosts continually slashed at the Fierce Beasts.
"Slash!"
With one saber stroke, he cut off an arm of a Fierce Beast.
Compared to Li Anshan, Lin Wu appeared a bit strained.
However, with an Immortal Sword in hand, he still stood undefeated.
As for Mei Ji, she struggled greatly, barely holding her ground against a single Low-level Fierce Beast.
If not for Li Anshan backing her up, blocking a mass of Fierce Beasts, she might have been torn apart.
Xu Nian wielded the Slaughter Battle Saber, its blade glimmering with a pale cyan luminescence.
Using the Dimension Cutting Profound Argumentation, the Sword Shadow Butterfly Dance was applied through blade techniques, equally sharp and terrifying.
The Low-level Fierce Beasts' defenses were utterly unable to withstand it.
Slicing through their Scale Armor was like cutting vegetables, though the Mid-level Fierce Beasts' defenses posed a challenge.
Yet, relying on the Slaughter's sharp properties and without worrying about True Essence depletion, Xu Nian swiftly slaughtered all around.
In just a moment, nine Fierce Beasts fell under his blade, including two Mid-level Fierce Beasts.
As everyone was engaged in battle, Xu Nian deliberately embedded Array Formation Seals in his blade techniques.
So to others, it seemed Xu Nian's swift killing ability was due to the power of the Formation, not his own strength.
In reality, the Array Patterns were merely simple speed enhancement formations.
Xu Nian wasn't very knowledgeable about formations; he only knew one Killing Array.
Such single-target auxiliary attack formations were not his forte.
However, with these formations, it was enough to deceive Lin Wu and others.
"Ah!"
Mei Ji was accidentally struck on the shoulder by a Fierce Beast, blood spurting as three deep claw marks marred her shoulder.
Most frightening was the beast's claws carried a strange gray energy, making recovery difficult.
"Roar!"
The Fierce Beast, seeing blood, became extraordinarily excited, crazily clawing at Mei Ji's head.
Its speed was terrifying; with one swipe, Mei Ji's head would be torn to shreds.
Mei Ji, pale-faced, just expelled the gray violent energy from her body and had no time to react defensively.
"Sister! No!" On the other side, Li Anshan was entangled with three Mid-level Demon Beasts, unable to break free to assist.
Mei Ji watched the claws grow larger in her vision, a sense of despair filling her eyes.
"Am I going to die?"
Mei Ji murmured to herself, feeling a slight regret.
A shadow appeared in her mind.
"Slash!"
Just when Mei Ji thought she was going to die, an extreme Sword Light flashed from above.
Directly cutting the Fierce Beast in half.
Mei Ji was stunned, looking up ahead.
A familiar yet strange figure appeared before her.
"It's so similar! Why does it feel so similar?" Mei Ji murmured in her heart.
At that moment, she thought of Xu Nian, but the face and aura of the youth in front of her were completely different from Xu Nian's.
Indeed, it was none other than Xu Nian, disguised as Xu Ping, who had come to save Mei Ji.
"Are you okay?" Xu Nian asked as he saw Mei Ji in a daze.
"I'm fine, just thought of someone familiar." Mei Ji shook her head, dismissing the thought.
However, she couldn't shake the feeling that Xu Ping had shadows of Xu Nian in him.
Xu Nian smiled bitterly to himself, knowing Mei Ji had begun to suspect him.
He had to admit, a woman's intuition is very sharp.
"Take this Pill. It will help your injuries recover." Xu Nian handed over a Pill.
"Thank you!" Mei Ji glanced at Xu Nian, did not refuse, and swallowed the Pill.
"Roar!"
Just then, a terrifying roar came from the distance.
Li Tiangang, engaged in slaughtering the Fierce Beasts ahead, suddenly changed his expression.
"Not good, a large number of Fierce Beasts are rushing this way, and that roar was definitely a High-level Fierce Beast. Everyone, flee, scatter, gathered together you're more easily found." Li Tiangang's voice echoed in everyone's mind.
After his voice fell, Xu Nian and the others saw countless figures rushing towards them.
The number of Fierce Beasts was probably no less than several thousand.
Among them, Xu Nian noticed several blue-scaled beasts, which he guessed were High-level Fierce Beasts.
"Go!"
Xu Nian didn't hesitate, grabbing Mei Ji and swiftly fled in one direction.
Zhao Anshan in the distance tried to follow Xu Nian but was blocked by a horde of Fierce Beasts, so he had to give up and leave with his father.
On the other side, Lin Shanhai and Lin Wu fled in one direction.
The remaining Liu Bai Ru escaped alone in another direction.
Xu Nian didn't worry about Liu Bai Ru because even against High-level Fierce Beasts, she had the power to protect herself.
That's why Xu Nian didn't care about Liu Bai Ru and instead pulled Mei Ji away.
"Roar!"
The Fierce Beasts, seeing everyone flee, roared and began pursuing the scattered people.
Xu Nian, running while pulling Mei Ji, looked back.
They were only being chased by about a hundred beasts.
Far less compared to the thousands pursuing Li Tiangang and the others.
Evidently, these beasts were chasing based on the energy level of their prey.
Li Tiangang, being the strongest, naturally attracted the most beasts.
The Lin Shanhai father-son duo attracted at least seven hundred Fierce Beasts.
Liu Bai Ru attracted nearly five hundred.
So comparatively, the number chasing Xu Nian and Mei Ji was much smaller.
However, a hundred or so Fierce Beasts still posed considerable pressure on them.
After fleeing for a while, Xu Nian stopped.
"What are you planning?" Mei Ji asked, puzzled, looking at Xu Nian.
Xu Nian smiled slightly and said, "Of course, we kill them. Otherwise, it's hard to shake them off. Who knows if we'll run into another Fierce Beast pack?"
Mei Ji nodded, agreeing with Xu Nian's reasoning.
Running around blindly like this might indeed lead them into more dangerous zones.
"But there are too many. By yourself, you..." Mei Ji hesitated.
"Who said I'm alone? Come out!" Xu Nian smiled slightly, waved his sleeve, and a graceful figure appeared before her.
Mei Ji's eyes widened, looking in disbelief at the suddenly appeared woman.
What shocked her the most was that the woman had a pair of fairy-like wings, appearing stunningly beautiful.
The moment the woman appeared, she looked at the chasing Fierce Beasts.
In the next moment, a strong purple light radiated from her body.
A Void portal opened, followed by an overwhelming tide of humanoid Insect Clan pouring out.
Thick and fast, they covered the sky and earth.
"The Void Insect Clan, could she be the Void Mother Empress? Then you are..." Mei Ji's eyes widened, then looked at Xu Nian in shock.
Xu Nian also smiled, saying, "Yes, Sister Mei Ji, I am Xu Nian."
