How come the celestial technique I stole is so powerful?!

Ding Ruoshui stared blankly at everything: "You... you..."

"This sword of mine requires the use of water to wield!" Lin Xiaosu said, "That's the real reason the Blue Demon sent you to accompany me here..."

The voice abruptly stopped as Lin Xiaosu suddenly looked up.

On the mountain peak, several Earthfall Beasts leaped like flying.

Although the valley suited the characteristics of the Earthfall Beasts, with the largest batch emerging from there, a small portion still emerged from the mountain peaks.

"Follow me!" Lin Xiaosu reached out and grabbed Ding Ruoshui.

With a light tap of his toes, he soared into the air, landing on the mountain peak.

Atop the peak, five Earthfall Beasts also reached a team at that exact moment, and Lin Xiaosu's figure spun, placing himself between them and the team.

Ding Ruoshui suddenly raised her hand, and a huge water ball appeared out of nowhere.

The water ball burst, and centered around her, a water world of ten feet in diameter formed.

Lin Xiaosu smiled, drawing his sword!

This sword blossomed on the mountaintop.

The five Earthfall Beasts were simultaneously slain.

In the rain and mist, Ding Ruoshui laughed with enchanting charm, "I know how to fight alongside you now."

"You stay here and hold the line, I'll go down!" Lin Xiaosu said, and descended into the air.

In the valley below, more Earthfall Beasts appeared.

This time, only three emerged.

Boom!

With a move of Severing Emotion, the head of the first Earthfall Beast shattered.

The other two Earthfall Beasts immediately ran, and Lin Xiaosu unhurriedly followed them.

As they approached the small river ahead, Li Ren Tears stunningly reappeared.

The two Earthfall Beasts died almost silently.

On the mountain peak, Ding Ruoshui laughed.

Although more Earthfall Beasts continued entering from the periphery, in the valley and on the ridge he and she defended, it seemed quite effortless.

A river flowed ahead, and she was atop the mountain peak.

Wherever there is water, it is his domain!

With a move of Li Ren Tears, even thousands of soldiers and horses couldn't take a step into the Thunder Pool.

However, on the battlefield, there's never any ease.

Over by Hu Ya, trouble was the first to arise.

Although Hu Ya fought valiantly and invincibly, dealing with Earthfall Beasts with three punches and two kicks, when too many beasts appeared, she too could slip up.

Five Earthfall Beasts appeared at once, and Hu Ya went full throttle, killing two. The remaining two quickly leapt over her defense line.

Hu Ya was startled, gave chase like lightning, and managed to kill another.

However, another group of Earthfall Beasts poured in at the valley entrance, this time numbering eight.

Hu Ya was anxious, lunging out and killing three in an instant. The remaining beasts scattered, but the number of Earthfall Beasts crossing the boundary increased. Heavenly King Xue Feng went full throttle, blocking one, yet four Earthfall Beasts still crossed his defense line.

This crossing brought about trouble.

At this moment, the sky suddenly brightened!

In the dark night sky, a beautiful girl hovered in mid-air, with a pair of illusory butterfly wings behind her.

She looked like a real angel.

An Eastern-style angel.

She lifted her hand, and a tiny Blood Butterfly flew from her fingertip, diving into an Earthfall Beast's huge mouth.

The Earthfall Beast suddenly jolted, rolling around madly.

The other three Earthfall Beasts charged forward, heading towards the rear forest, where there were only ordinary warriors.

At that moment, a small white cat leapt down from the treetops.

It landed on the head of one Earthfall Beast.

The Earthfall Beast's body was silver-white.

The cat was entirely snow-white.

Compared to the size of the Earthfall Beast, the little cat was as tiny as a button, but with a gentle swipe of its claw, the beast's head inexplicably fell off.

In the next instant, the cat traced a beautiful arc of light, landing on the head of the second Earthfall Beast, and with a swipe of its claw...

In no time, the heads of all three boundary-crossing Earthfall Beasts were swiped off.

The initially aggressive Earthfall Beast ceased its cries and collapsed motionlessly.

The scarlet butterfly emerged from the Earthfall Beast's forehead and returned to the fingertips of the woman in the air.

The beauty descended gracefully, while the cat leapt up, landing on her shoulder.

Heavenly King Xue Feng's eyes widened.

Hu Ya punched down the last Earthfall Beast and came before the girl: "You are..."

"I am Yixiang! From Wushen Mountain!" The girl seemed a bit shy, looking at the monsters on the ground, also a bit scared.

"Yixiang! You're actually Yixiang!" Hu Ya's eyes opened wide.

Heavenly King Xue Feng might not know who Yixiang was.

But Hu Ya certainly did.

As Lin Xiaose's little wife, as an unofficially recognized lover, she wasn't so oblivious as to not know some details of Lin Xiaose's personal life.

She knew Lin Xiaose was a rogue, with a little Ye at home, and Miao Ruolan from the detective agency (who was once her best friend) most certainly being involved with him. Chang Ye, let's not even mention—bringing up Lin Xiaose in Qianlong always incited comments about his prowess—his entanglement with Chang Ye was a hallmark of his infamous vigor.

Who else was there on the outside?

Ding Ruoshui was his girlfriend from Jiangcheng.

In Miaojiang, there was Yixiang...

Yixiang, Hu Ya, of course, knew.

But to be frank, Hu Ya hadn't really paid much attention to her.

In her perception, Yixiang was just a pure Miao Family girl, easily seduced by her flirtatious man to bed—an outcome that was high likely. But a village girl is just a village girl, at most a pretty vase in Miaojiang, unlikely to be seen in the outside world.

Yet tonight, she saw her.

She can actually fly!

Damn!

What kind of normal person can fly?

And her cat, it looks so gentle, but it's fiercely wild. With a swipe and a pull of its claws, the Earthfall Beast's head just rolls off.

What kind of person is this? Oh no, what kind of cat is this?

The Earthfall Beast appeared again behind us.

Hu Ya turned around, her eyes shooting fierce light...

The voice of Yixiang came to my ear: "I'll fight with you, I'm actually not good at combat, but I'll learn slowly..."

Heavenly King Xue Feng almost fell headfirst.

Have some shame, will you?

You claim not to be good at fighting, yet in a moment's cooperation with your little cat, you've killed four Earthfall Beasts. I'm Qianlong King, fought until now, and haven't killed a single one...

On this side, they managed to create a variable, a positive one.

But on the real king-infested west line, the fiercest attack arrived.

A clear flute sound echoed, the group of Earthfall Beasts controlled by Saintess Qian Ling through Spirit Control Thousand Mountains seemed to be injected with adrenaline, suddenly going berserk!

This surge had a clear division of labor!

The Earthfall Beasts seemed to have gained intelligence.

Saintess Qian Ling was greatly shocked.

She knew the reason why because that controller was currently on the west line.

His beast taming skill was extremely clever, the thought-induced Earthfall Beasts became highly trained soldiers, no longer the disorganized mob they once were.

Ten Earthfall Beasts fiercely attacked one direction, she couldn't hold that position.

With a loud crash, a huge tree fell.

Over twenty Earthfall Beasts escaped from their encirclement, turning into silver lightning and charging toward the last line of defense behind them.

And there were over twenty more behind.

Saintess Qian Ling's mind suddenly focused.

Her mind retracted, primordial spirit returned, Spirit Illumination Thousand Mountains!

Her Sea of Consciousness, in an instant, enveloped the landscape within ten miles beneath her feet, although compared to the past, in today's End of Dharma Era, her cultivation was indeed a mere trivial skill, yet she remained invincible!

The trees of the whole mountain became her eyes and ears.

Northwest corner!

The beast tamer was just at the northwest corner!

Her silhouette suddenly blurred, the branches under her feet suddenly grew, sending her into the deep sky...

As she retreated, the pressure on the Heavenly King Team from the over twenty Earthfall Beasts behind increased immensely.

Blood Trace, blood-raged, had already slain the third one, but his scimitar was also broken.

Blue Demon, in fact, could not kill Earthfall Beasts, but could only rely on supremely fast movement technique to seize the opportunity to feed bombs to the Earthfall Beasts, she successfully fed two and killed two Earthfall Beasts.

As for the skill of feeding bombs, in fact, she was not as good as another person who wasn't even a king.

This person was Xinyue.

When Xinyue used the Invisibility Technique, the Earthfall Beasts couldn't see her.

Her Instant Teleportation Technique allowed her to reach the Earthfall Beasts' sides the moment their mouths opened and stuff a bomb inside.

She succeeded three times!

The other person fighting alongside her again was Zhao Zhen.

Zhao Zhen, the rich young master, dressed in white, also used instant teleportation in the forest to successfully slay two Earthfall Beasts.

The facts proved that, when facing Exotic Beasts like Earthfall Beasts, powerful Heavenly Kings weren't necessarily superior to ordinary Gold Medals. As long as ordinary Gold Medals mastered the correct methods, they could also create miracles and kill Earthfall Beasts that were difficult for even the Kings to kill.

However, these opportunistic methods, following that flute sound, proved unsustainable, as after the sound, the Earthfall Beasts entered mouth-closed mode.

As long as they kept their mouths shut, there were no more vulnerabilities anywhere on their bodies.

If you couldn't break their defenses, you were utterly helpless.

Xinyue failed for the third time, and her familiar catchphrase came out: "I f**k your eight fathers, open your mouth, damn it..."

Boom!

An Earthfall Beast broke through the last line of defense, charging straight into the ranks of the warriors behind.

Blue Demon's heart jumped sharply, this line, concentrated with seven of the Eight Heavenly Kings, was broken through, could the remaining two lines really hold?

The most dreaded situation eventually happened.

The border warriors ultimately needed to face the impact of this underground monster.

The gunshots rang out in vain.

The warriors suffered heavy casualties quickly.

The captain's shout rang out: "Comrades, I'll go first!"

He leaped suddenly, throwing himself into the Earthfall Beast group, one huge Earthfall Beast's mouth opened wide, swallowing him.

With a loud explosion, that Earthfall Beast's flesh flew everywhere.

The warriors shouted in unison: "Great Xia Military Soul, repay the country with our lives! Charge!"

Woosh, woosh, woosh...

Dozens of warriors fell off the cliff together.

Some were swept into the Earthfall Beast group, torn apart directly, some were pierced through the chest by claws, turned into pulp, and a few lucky ones were swallowed by Earthfall Beasts, as long as they're swallowed, they detonated the bombs on them, killing the Earthfall Beasts from within.

Fighting had become truly fierce here.

This was the courage of the border army.

They had no superpowers.

They had no strong genes.

But they never lacked combat skills, using themselves as bait, voluntarily entering the beasts' mouths, detonating glory bombs, protecting the nation with their lives.

In the northwest corner, two people hid at the entrance of a semi-open cave.

One held a flute.

The flute had sound, yet the sound seemed to come from the mountain opposite, this ethereal sound transmission was a mandatory skill for a Beast Master, otherwise, once the flute sounded, they would be locked by the enemy, and they couldn't successfully tame the beasts.

Thus, for them, sound was the art of misleading the enemy, a part of the battle.
