If the Beast Taming Sect gains power and breaks through this Commandery, she would seize the opportunity before the Great Yan Iron Cavalry arrives, to follow behind the Beast Taming Sect and profit amid the chaos.

After all, the Beast Taming Sect would take the blame, and she only needs to move a little to gain immense benefits that would be difficult to obtain in the Capital City. Why not?

And if the Beast Taming Sect fails, she would find a way to get some benefits from these Exotic Beasts.

No matter what, she wouldn't lose.

So, she didn't care at all about who won or lost.

Just at this moment, the situation on the battlefield suddenly changed again.

Cornered by Lu Dingtai and the others, with little room for retreat, the Mountain Demon let out a loud roar.

Immediately afterward, countless Exotic Beasts, like mad, charged at the three without regard for anything else.

Although the strength of these Exotic Beasts was mostly at the third level and not a match for Lu Dingtai and the others,

they couldn't withstand the sheer numbers.

As the saying goes, many ants can kill an elephant. Especially when the three of them were already distracted by the Mountain Demon, dealing with this surging Beast Tide with their remaining strength was incredibly difficult.

At the critical moment, the team following Shang Tiefeng and Jin Zhenming stepped up.

These people were disciples from the three Martial Arts Halls and were the picked elite.

Seeing their masters threatened, the disciples naturally stepped forward to face the challenge.

They formed a human wall, supporting each other to deal with the surging Beast Tide.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The sounds were from the direct collision between the Exotic Beasts and the human wall.

Accompanied were the dying wails of the Exotic Beasts being slain and the groans of injured humans.

A lynx suddenly rushed from the shadows and pounced toward a disciple's neck.

The disciple had no time to react and could only await death.

But just then, a flash of blade light flickered, and blood splattered from the lynx's body.

It howled in pain, about to turn and flee, when Zhao Ya's blade, which had switched from a downward chop to a horizontal slash, severed its spine.

With a thud, the lynx fell to the ground, its body convulsing violently, trying to rise, but with its spinal nerves severed, all its efforts were futile struggles.

Poof.

Zhao Ya beheaded it with a slash, ending its suffering.

The previously terrified disciple expressed gratitude to Zhao Ya.

"Thank you, Senior Brother Zhao."

"No need to thank me, just be more cautious."

Saying this, Zhao Ya plunged back into the Beast Tide, his blade moving like the scythe of death, ruthlessly reaping the lives of these Exotic Beasts.

But the number of these Exotic Beasts was immense.

Within them, Zhao Ya's blade light was like foam stirring from the waves, spinning up then vanishing, seemingly at risk of being overwhelmed at any moment.

While these disciples barely maintained their footing, the battle with Lu Dingtai and the others had also entered a fever pitch.

The three knew the only way to resolve the immediate crisis was to kill the Mountain Demon and the monster behind it.

Every second of delay meant another disciple might get injured or even die.

So all three were determined, no longer holding back, bringing out their most formidable skills.

For a moment, the pressure on the Mountain Demon surged, and it bore several more wounds on its body.

But just then, the Ghost Child behind the Mountain Demon let out a piercing cry.

It opened its mouth wide.

Appearing small externally, its open mouth became a bloody maw filled with sharp fangs, biting into the Mountain Demon.

The Mountain Demon roared in agony, its eyes turning blood-red and black, its body inflating again like a balloon.

The three on the hill inhaled sharply at the sight.

"Complete form, this is the Ghost Child's complete form." The young scholar murmured, his eyes full of shock.

For the Ghost Child was created by the Beast Taming Sect using the most sinister and toxic Secret Technique.

It was born with intelligence and inherently dominated Exotic Beasts of lower rank.

The longevity of the Beast Taming Sect as an established Demon Sect amidst all hunts is due to this unique skill.

As for this complete form,

only a Ghost Child of sufficiently high quality could attain this ability.

Upon entry, its strength dramatically increases, and it knows no fear or pain. Although the duration is short, it's terrifying.

Initially, the three thought the attack on Yunxiao County was merely a trial by the Beast Taming Sect.

Now, it seemed far from simple.

After all, creating a Ghost Child of such level requires immense effort and energy.

While the three were shocked, even Lu Dingtai and the others were overwhelmed by the enhanced Ghost Child.

Shang Tiefeng, caught off guard, was grazed by the Mountain Demon's fist wind, promptly spitting blood.

Naturally, Zhao Ya noticed these changes.

He was equally shocked by the monster's bizarre power.

But it was meaningless to talk now. He could only confront the endless Beast Tide while contemplating retreat.

If Zhao Ya wanted to leave, these Exotic Beasts couldn't stop him.

The issue was that he was unwilling to let go.

It felt like playing a game, finally reaching the final level, meeting the ultimate boss, whittling down its health, only for it to suddenly enter a berserk state, while his side nearly reached a breaking point; how could he be content?

But unwillingness was futile. Just then, Lu Dingtai was blasted, crashing through two large trees before stopping.

Zhao Ya's eyes sharpened, and he slashed apart an Exotic Beast before darting toward Lu Dingtai.

If the master were severely injured, regardless of what Lu Dingtai said, Zhao Ya would first carry him away.

As long as the green hills remain, there is no fear of lacking firewood; since they couldn't win, why sacrifice their lives in vain?

But just then, a roar came from the snapped branches and fallen leaves.

"Old Jin, Old Shang, keep him occupied for me."

With these words, Lu Dingtai stepped out, his eyes gleaming like torches, and his fists glowing with gold.

Though Shang Tiefeng and Jin Zhenming were exhausted, seeing Lu Dingtai now, they knew he must have used some Secret Technique to push his Qi Blood to its limits.

This was their only shot.

The two exchanged glances and simultaneously lunged at the Mountain Demon, restraining it despite the risks to their lives.

Meanwhile, Lu Dingtai leaped forward, his entire being like a cannonball, charging straight for the Mountain Demon.

Mid-air, his fist was already unleashed.

"Vajra Descent!"

Boom!

A thunderous boom.

The nearby foliage shook and fell.

Many people's ears rang painfully, their faces showing distress.

Zhao Ya ignored this, his eyes constantly on the battlefield.

Suddenly, he saw a figure catapulting back like a kite with a broken string, spitting blood in mid-air and crashing toward the ground.

It was Lu Dingtai!

Zhao Ya's heart contracted. He dashed forward and caught his master.

At this moment, Lu Dingtai's face was ashen, his eyes dim, his hands limp at his sides, clearly severe injuries.

But even so, his gaze remained proud.

"Don't mind me, that beast is heavily injured by me; seize the chance to finish it."

Just as these words left his mouth, Shang Tiefeng and Jin Zhenming were both sent flying, falling to the ground, vomiting blood.

Shang Tiefeng weakly smiled, "Old Lu, sorry, I tried my best!"

In comparison, Jin Zhenming couldn't even speak.

At this moment, the Mountain Demon howled repeatedly.

Its lower abdomen was blood-soaked, a massive wound crossing it.

The wound ran deep, with intestines and entrails spilling out.

With such severe injuries, the Mountain Demon visibly weakened, its once imposing stature deflating like a punctured balloon.

Evidently, the Mountain Demon was also gravely injured.

Unfortunately, Lu Dingtai, Shang Tiefeng, and Jin Zhenming were all spent, unable to continue fighting.

Expressions of regret filled their eyes.

Seeing this, Zhao Ya took a deep breath and placed Lu Dingtai against a large tree.

"Master, please wait here for a moment while I attempt to kill this monster."
