"That was close!"

Wang Hai wiped cold sweat from his forehead as he watched the Green-horned Toad's distant corpse, a sense of horror filling him. The Green-horned Toad was a level-four Demon Beast, yet Luo Feng killed it with a single slash. Such combat power is truly terrifying!

"Luo Feng, thank you," Wang Hai exhaled deeply, looking at Luo Feng with sincere gratitude.

Luo Feng waved his hand, his gaze sweeping the surroundings, his brow furrowed slightly.

Despite killing so many Demon Beasts, the looming shadows around them hadn't diminished. Within his perception range, several powerful auras, some even stronger than the Green-horned Toad's, were approaching.

"Stick close to me! We'll break out in one go!"

If they delayed further, they risked being trapped by powerful Demon Beasts. While Luo Feng no longer feared level-four Demon Beasts in single combat, being surrounded was extremely dangerous. He decided to make it a quick battle.

As his words fell, Luo Feng turned, his Fury Flame Knife erupting with scorching Saber Qi as he slashed forward.

SWISH!

A massive, crescent-shaped blade of Saber Qi appeared, sweeping away the Demon Beasts in front, clearing a large area now littered with severed limbs and splattered blood.

ROAR!

Several terrifying beast roars echoed nearby. The demonic wind they stirred up blotted out the sun, plunging the area several miles around into complete darkness.

"Move!" Luo Feng shouted, charging out first. The Rock Monsters along the path were sliced into pieces before they could even react.

Lu Shan and the others, feeling the terrifying Demon Qi around them, dared not slacken their pace. They pushed their speed to the limit, following closely behind Luo Feng.

"Die!"

Luo Feng pushed his Yuan Qi to its absolute limit, his Fury Flame Knife slashing repeatedly, carving a bloody path through the dense horde of beasts.

ROAR!

Provoked by the scent of blood, the surrounding Demon Beasts grew even more frenzied. As one batch fell, another immediately surged forward to replace them.

Gazing at the teeming masses of Demon Beasts and the sky-obscuring Demon Qi, Luo Feng couldn't help but frown. Those terrifying auras are drawing closer. If we don't break out of this encirclement soon, we're dead.

"Block the Demon Beasts on either side," Luo Feng called back to Lu Shan and the other two trailing him.

"Alright!" Lu Shan, understanding the critical situation, wasted no words. He and Wang Hai positioned themselves on Luo Feng's flanks, their swords flashing to fend off the charging Demon Beasts.

Seeing that the three were not in immediate danger, Luo Feng's figure flickered as he dashed into the dense pack of beasts ahead and slammed a fist into the ground.

RUMBLE!

The earth trembled violently. Large fissures, like giant pythons, snaked outwards in all directions. All Demon Beasts within a radius of tens of meters were sent flying by the powerful shockwave; some fell into the cracks and were crushed into pulp.

"Mad Thunder Overturning Sky!"

Before the force of his punch dissipated, Luo Feng drew his saber and slashed consecutively in four directions.

CRACKLE!

Nearly ten colossal bolts of Saber Qi, resembling lightning, tore through the night, forming a vast net of thunder that swept across the area. Demon Beasts caught in mid-air were instantly shredded, their blood spraying everywhere, clearing an open space tens of meters wide.

Witnessing this, Lu Shan and the others who had caught up were shaken to their core. We thought Luo Feng was already using his full strength, but it seems that wasn't the case.

Having slain a large number of Demon Beasts, Luo Feng didn't pause. He leaped forward, his figure once again plunging into the beast horde.

Saber Qi crisscrossed, flesh and blood flew. In a short while, over two hundred Demon Beasts had fallen to Luo Feng's Fury Flame Knife, which was now stained crimson. By the end, the murderous aura emanating from him was so intense that some low-level Demon Beasts didn't even dare to meet his gaze.

「Half an incense stick's time later」

The Demon Beasts in their sight gradually thinned out. They had finally broken through the encirclement.

"We're finally out!" Lu Shan and the others, drenched in blood, exclaimed with elation upon seeing the open, barren wilderness.

ROAR!

Just as they breathed a sigh of relief, a deafening roar suddenly thundered from their left.

They couldn't help but turn to look.

From amidst the beast horde, a Demon Bear nearly three zhang tall, its fur dark and glossy, charged towards them. Each of its footsteps made the entire wasteland tremble violently, accompanied by thunderous rumbles. Demon Beasts too slow to evade were instantly trampled into paste.

"A high-level, fourth-tier Iron Demon Bear!"

"What do we do? At the Iron Demon Bear's speed, we definitely can't escape!"

Seeing the colossal figure, the expressions of Lu Shan, Wang Hai, and Xu Qing changed slightly. The Iron Demon Bear's strength is far greater than that of a Green Shadow Wolf, comparable to a martial artist at the peak of the Ninth Heaven of the Heavenly Court Realm.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

While their minds were still reeling from the shock of the Iron Demon Bear, another set of heavy footsteps echoed.

Several hundred meters to their right, a Flame Rock Monster, radiating intense heat, charged towards them. Everywhere it passed, grass and trees instantly burst into flames. It was incomparably ferocious.

Seeing the Flame Rock Monster, Lu Shan's heart turned cold. The Iron Demon Bear alone is difficult enough to handle. Adding a Flame Rock Monster means certain death. And there are still several other powerful auras nearby; other formidable Demon Beasts must be on their way.

Luo Feng looked at the pursuing Iron Demon Bear and Flame Rock Monster, a sharp glint in his eyes. He calmly said, "You three go first. I'll hold them off."

Lu Shan knew they would only be a hindrance if they stayed. He urged, "Be careful! We'll wait for you on the hill ahead."

With that, the three executed their Qinggong techniques, transforming into blurred afterimages as they sped into the distance.

Watching them depart, Luo Feng turned to face the two massive shadows pursuing him. I didn't want to reveal my full strength earlier and held back from using the Grand Momentum. This is a perfect opportunity to test its power.

Within the beast horde, the Iron Demon Bear exuded an astonishing Demon Qi. Like a giant battering ram, it charged recklessly, instantly crushing any low-level Demon Beasts in its path. Its icy pupils locked onto Luo Feng.

ROAR!

With a deafening roar, the Iron Demon Bear leaped. Its massive body blotted out the sky, pouncing towards Luo Feng like a dark cloud. The ferocious aura sent the surrounding Demon Beasts scattering in terror.

WHOOSH!

As if by prior agreement, the Flame Rock Monster on the other side ignited with a blinding fiery light, opening its maw to spew a pillar of fire that shot towards Luo Feng with incredible speed.

Luo Feng stood his ground, his gaze calm, like still water.

Above, the dark clouds gradually dispersed, and cold moonlight spilled down.

「Suddenly」

A cold wind swept across the wasteland. The low-level Demon Beasts' pupils filled with dread, and their bodies trembled uncontrollably, as if sensing something terrifying.

Xu Qing, who had run several miles, abruptly stopped. Surprise and doubt flickered in her bright eyes as she looked back.

Lu Shan and Wang Hai also halted, their expressions mirroring Xu Qing's confusion. Just a moment ago, they had faintly sensed an intensely sharp aura flash past, like a sword at their throats—irresistible!

"What's happening?" Wang Hai asked nervously, swallowing hard.

Lu Shan gazed at the dark night behind them and said in a low voice, "It's from Luo Feng's direction."

Xu Qing clenched her small fists, closed her eyes, and murmured, "I hope nothing bad happens to him."

The moonlight reflected in Luo Feng's eyes, clear and cold.

HISS...

Invisible currents of air swirled around him, carving cracks into the ground.

"Grand Momentum like a Saber!"

His gaze locked on the front, Luo Feng let out a low shout. Sharp aura radiated outwards, and a colossal saber shadow materialized around him.

The saber shadow was over ten meters tall, flames flickering across its surface. The nearby air automatically parted, and the ambient Yuan Qi churned chaotically. It was so dense and substantial that it no longer seemed like a mere shadow but possessed a tangible reality.

"Slash!"

As the Fury Flame Knife descended, the saber shadow slashed out with it. A tyrannical aura swept forth, like a mountain range crashing down. The nearby low-level Demon Beasts shrieked in terror, prostrating themselves on the ground, trembling violently.

SHINK!

The pillar of fire spewed by the Flame Rock Monster was instantly cleaved apart. The saber shadow's momentum, undiminished, struck the Iron Demon Bear fiercely.

SPLAT!

The Iron Demon Bear's protective Demon Qi held for a mere moment before exploding. Its entire right shoulder was severed, and a terrifying gash over ten meters long scarred the ground.

With a flick of his wrist, Luo Feng unleashed another slash. The Flame Rock Monster, which had charged closer, was directly bisected.

So this is the power of the Minor Achievement of Great Trend! Luo Feng's face lit up with pleasant surprise as he looked at the Iron Demon Bear, now howling and thrashing on the ground.

The Iron Demon Bear is a high-level, fourth-tier Demon Beast, a top-tier existence among its kind, its strength comparable to a martial artist at the peak of the Ninth Heaven of the Heavenly Court Realm. If I had encountered it before, fleeing would have been my only option. Yet now, I can severely wound it with a single strike.

SHINK!

Finishing off the Iron Demon Bear with another slash, Luo Feng cut open its chest, revealing a Demon Core the size of a bowl.

Although the Iron Demon Bear's Demon Core wasn't as valuable as an Illusory Blood Demon's inner core, it was still worth tens of thousands of Gold. Luo Feng placed it into his storage ring.

ROAR!

Just as Luo Feng stored the Demon Core and was about to gather some materials, a series of terrifying beast roars suddenly erupted.

Luo Feng straightened up, his gaze fixed ahead.

A kilometer away, he could sense several terrifying auras rapidly approaching. The Demon Qi from a few of them was so overwhelming that even Luo Feng felt a chill.

These are probably fifth-tier Demon Beasts or higher, Luo Feng thought, taking a deep breath.

A fifth-tier Demon Beast is equivalent to a Spiritual Rotation Realm expert. Even if I had achieved Great Achievement in Momentum, let alone my current Minor Achievement of Great Trend, with my present cultivation, I'd be no match for them. Not unless I reach the Spiritual Rotation Realm.

Shaking his head, Luo Feng abandoned the idea of collecting Demon Beast materials. He executed the Teng Dragon's Step and chased after Lu Shan and the others, vanishing in a few flickers.

「Not long after Luo Feng departed」

A colossal black python, exuding a vast and potent Demon Qi that blotted out the sky, rushed out from the darkness. The surrounding sky instantly dimmed.

The python was twenty to thirty meters tall. Its body coiled on the ground like a small mountain, and the low-level Demon Beasts nearby dared not even twitch.

The python's upper body rose erect, like a sky-propping pillar. Its pair of cold, triangular eyes, emitting an eerie, icy glow, locked onto Luo Feng in the distance.

Seemingly uninterested in Luo Feng, the python withdrew its gaze, opened its massive maw, and swallowed the enormous corpse of the Iron Demon Bear in a single gulp.

Good thing it didn't pursue me, Luo Feng thought, stopping in the distance. He looked at the giant python's silhouette standing starkly against the night sky, let out a long breath, and wiped away cold sweat. The moment its gaze locked onto me, I felt every hair on my body stand on end. This python is no small matter; it's likely a terrifying existence surpassing even fifth-tier Demon Beasts. If it had chased me, ten of me wouldn't have been its match.
