Chapter 376: Chapter 374: Breakout

“So many Demon Beasts! There must be more than four hundred…” Lu Shan furrowed his brows.

Wang Hai’s expression turned extremely grim as he looked at the Demon Beasts flooding in from all sides. “It seems like Demon Beasts from dozens of miles around have been attracted here. There appear to be quite a few fourth-tier Demon Beasts among them.”

Upon hearing this, Lu Shan and the others fell silent. They had struggled against a mere flock of Red Blood Crows; escaping this situation unharmed seemed like pure fantasy.

Luo Feng quickly scanned the area, located the direction with the fewest Demon Beasts, and ordered, “You guys stay behind me. We need to break through.”

“Can we make it?” Lu Shan and Wang Hai questioned. They had witnessed Luo Feng’s strength, but the current situation was even worse than before, with an increased number of high-tier Demon Beasts to deal with while also protecting them…

“We won’t know until we try,” Luo Feng said calmly. Suddenly, he slapped backward with his palm, causing a Red Blood Crow attempting a sneak attack to explode.

Lu Shan hesitated for a moment before saying, “I’m sorry, Senior Brother Luo Feng, for dragging you into this. Whether we can make it out or not, I, Lu Shan, will always remember your kindness!”

“Me too!” Wang Hai’s face showed determination.

Xu Qing nodded, her bright eyes watching Luo Feng intently.

Luo Feng waved his hand dismissively. “No need for thanks. As Martial Artists, it’s our duty to help when we see injustice. But let me remind you, I can only focus on the Demon Beasts. If you can’t keep up with my speed and fall behind, you’ll be on your own.”

Lu Shan brandished his Longsword, his expression resolute. “Rest assured, if we fall behind, we can only blame our own bad luck.”

Luo Feng nodded.

ROAR! ROAR!

At this moment, as if smelling the presence of humans, the roars of the surrounding beasts suddenly intensified.

As far as the eye could see, huge black shadows filled the plains, an endless tide. At the forefront were first and second-tier Demon Beasts, followed closely by third-tier Demon Beasts, among which were quite a few fourth-tier Demon Beasts. It was like an army bearing down on them, their advance a thunderous stampede.

“Let’s go!”

Demon Beasts ran incredibly fast. In just a few breaths, they were less than a hundred meters from the group. Luo Feng shouted and charged forward.

“Mad Thunder Overturning Sky!”

Faced with a multitude of Demon Beasts charging towards him, Luo Feng chose his Shocking Thunder Saber Technique with the largest attack range. With the Fury Flame Knife, he slashed repeatedly, unleashing a cold blade light that formed an electric grid, whistling as it shot out.

CRACKLE! CRACKLE!

The net of light engulfed an area several tens of meters ahead. The first and second-tier Demon Beasts within it couldn’t resist at all and were torn to shreds. The slightly stronger third-tier Demon Beasts could only resist for a moment before their Demon Qi was severed, and they were killed instantly.

“So strong!”

Seeing this, Lu Shan, Wang Hai, and Xu Qing were all shocked. Watching from a distance was one thing, but following closely behind Luo Feng, the sensation was incredibly intense. The moment the blade lights appeared, a potent killing intent stimulated them, making their palms grow cold.

ROAR!

The surrounding Demon Beasts were completely enraged. They let out deafening roars and closed in on them from all sides.

Luo Feng turned to look at Xu Qing and the others, saying sternly, “Keep up with me!”

WHOOSH!

As his voice fell, Luo Feng’s figure flashed. With an unstoppable momentum, he plunged into the horde of Demon Beasts, his saber flashing. Warm blood gushed out, creating a fog of blood.

Xu Qing and the others were completely shocked by Luo Feng’s ferocity. So this is the top-ranked rookie! they thought.

“Let’s follow! Junior Sister Xu Qing, you stay in the middle. Be careful not to get separated.” Seemingly infected by Luo Feng’s fervor, Lu Shan’s expression grew excited.

Wang Hai and Xu Qing nodded, and the three of them immediately pushed their speed to the limit, sticking closely behind Luo Feng.

“Mad Thunder Overturning Sky!”

“Sky Collapse Earth Splitting!”

“Skyfall Thunder!”

“Breaking Sky Fist!”

There were too many Demon Beasts around, and Luo Feng dared not be careless. He unleashed his full strength, continuously executing his Sky Collapse Fist and Shocking Thunder Saber Technique, clearing a path as he led Lu Shan and the others forward.

Lu Shan and the others followed closely behind Luo Feng, not daring to slack off for even a second. At this moment, apart from shock, there was only more shock in their hearts.

In a short period, over fifty Demon Beasts had fallen at Luo Feng’s hands. Each attack was immense and carried a soul-shaking power.

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, the three of them would never have believed that someone their age could possess such strength. Even the elders in the institute couldn’t compare.

The four of them were like a sharpened sword, brutally piercing into the horde of Demon Beasts. In the blink of an eye, they had advanced a thousand meters into the heart of the horde.

However, Lu Shan and the others’ minds were far from relaxed.

Now, they were surrounded by third-tier Demon Beasts, and among them, other powerful auras lurked. This was the truly dangerous place.

AWOOOO!

A massive wolf howl echoed as a frenzied Demon Qi shot into the sky, making Lu Shan and the others’ scalps tingle. They hurriedly looked in the direction of the sound.

A few hundred meters ahead stood two enormous blue Demon wolves. Nearly four meters tall, they resembled two small mountains and radiated a terrifying aura. The surrounding third-tier Demon Beasts showed fear in their eyes and dared not approach.

The two Demon wolves looked down on them from above, like sovereigns overlooking their domain, emanating an indescribable, tyrannical presence.

“Fourth-tier Demon Beasts, the Green Shadow Wolves!”

Meeting those pairs of green eyes, Wang Hai’s heart pounded violently, his Yuan Qi almost freezing. He exclaimed in horror.

“Two of them together!”

A determined glint flickered in Lu Shan’s eyes, his face set with resolve as if he had made a decision. He said to Luo Feng, “Senior Brother Luo Feng, the three of us will hold off one Green Shadow Wolf. You take the opportunity to kill the other.”

Wang Hai and Xu Qing remained silent upon hearing this. With their combined strength, they stood no chance against a Green Shadow Wolf; it was undoubtedly a suicidal act. But at this moment, there was no other option, and it was not the time for cowardice.

Luo Feng, seeing their expressions, smiled and said, “No need for such trouble. You three just need to protect yourselves. As for these two Green Shadow Wolves, I’ll handle them.”

“You alone? That’s too dangerous!” Lu Shan frowned deeply.

Wang Hai nodded and drew his Longsword, stepping forward. “Our strength may be insufficient, but we are not cowards who cling to life and fear death!”

Luo Feng didn’t explain further, merely saying, “Wait here.”

As his voice fell, Luo Feng stomped on the ground. The earth immediately cracked, and his body shot forward like an arrow loosed from a bow.

“Slash!”

Aiming ahead, the Fury Flame Knife in Luo Feng’s hand erupted with scorching Saber Qi as he chopped down.

BOOM!

The massive Saber Qi howled out, tearing a shocking fissure in the ground that extended straight forward. Any Demon Beast in its path didn’t stand a chance and was instantly cleaved in two. Nearby Demon Beasts were impacted by the residual Yuan Qi, causing them to bleed from their seven orifices.

This single slash cleared all the Demon Beasts blocking the path to the two Green Shadow Wolves.

Lu Shan sucked in a cold breath. He had initially thought Luo Feng had already exerted his full strength, but now it seemed that was not the case.

ROAR!

Provoked by Luo Feng, the two Green Shadow Wolves roared at the sky. Simultaneously, they opened their massive jaws, a green light flashing in their pupils. Two three-meter-high green cyclones, carrying sharp air currents, shot towards Luo Feng.

SHREEE! SHREEE! SHREEE! SHREEE!

Wherever the cyclones passed, the ground was instantly sliced and shattered, creating a devastating scene.

Luo Feng remained calm, his clothes fluttering though there was no wind, as if lightning were streaking through the space around him.

“Skyfall Thunder!”

His gaze locked onto the gap between the two cyclones, Luo Feng slashed out.

An icy blade light, like lightning, howled forward. It moved at an unbelievable speed, resembling a flaming meteor, whizzing through the gap between the two green cyclones.

BOOM!

The two green cyclones trembled in mid-air and suddenly exploded. A short distance away, a line of blood appeared on the head of one Green Shadow Wolf. Its body split in two, and a large amount of blood spurted out.

“The blade light condensed into a single line! What an amazing Saber Technique!”

Looking at the Green Shadow Wolf’s corpse on the ground, Lu Shan was stunned at first, then a look of pleasant surprise crossed his face. He had been worried whether Luo Feng could defeat two fourth-tier Demon Beasts, the Green Shadow Wolves. Now, it seemed the Green Shadow Wolves posed no threat at all.

Beside him, Wang Hai also nodded, his face filled with astonishment. “He managed to find the gap in the Green Shadow Wolves’ attack in an instant! Could it be luck?”

That last slash wasn’t simple. He had exploited the weakness in the Green Shadow Wolves’ attack, causing the two cyclones to effectively neutralize each other, which allowed Luo Feng to kill one with a single strike.

However, Wang Hai didn’t believe Luo Feng had done it intentionally. Otherwise, that would be far too astonishing.

ROAR!

The remaining Green Shadow Wolf, its eyes glowing red, stared ferociously at Luo Feng. It let out a violent roar and suddenly leaped, bearing down on Luo Feng like a dark cloud.

The intense demonic wind stirred up by its movement blew nearby Demon Beasts into the air.

Luo Feng’s gaze hardened, and the Fury Flame Knife slashed out once more.

A stunning blade light pierced the night sky. The Green Shadow Wolf, caught in mid-air, had no power to resist and was directly chopped in two.

Luo Feng turned back and said calmly to Lu Shan and the others, “Let’s go.”

Shaken from their stupor, Lu Shan and the others immediately pushed their speed to the limit and followed Luo Feng.

The four of them sped forward. The Demon Beasts blocking their path automatically parted, clearing a way. Countless pairs of eyes stared at Luo Feng, filled with dread.

Luo Feng’s strength had instilled fear in these Demon Beasts.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

With no Demon Beasts obstructing them, the four pushed their speed to the maximum, streaking into the distance. Soon, they saw the edge of the Demon Beast horde.

FWOOSH!

A sound of something cutting through the air rang out. A streak of green light, fast as lightning, shot towards Wang Hai at the rear of the group. Upon closer inspection, the green light was revealed to be a long, thin tongue covered in barbs. Green slime dripped from it to the ground, and the grass instantly withered where it landed, clearly indicating extreme toxicity.

“It’s the Green-horned Toad!” Lu Shan exclaimed in alarm.

Just as the green light was about to hit Wang Hai, a cold glint flashed in the night sky. The tongue was severed in the middle, and green blood spattered onto the ground.

WAAAH!

A shrill, miserable cry echoed from the distance. Luo Feng looked towards the sound and saw, several hundred meters away, a giant toad crouching. It was about ten feet tall, its body covered in green bumps, with a single green horn on its head.

Blood dripped from the Green-horned Toad’s mouth. It let out a strange cry, and its limbs tensed, launching it into the distance with lightning speed.

“Trying to escape?”

A cold sneer touched Luo Feng’s lips. The Fury Flame Knife slashed through the air. A cold light flashed, and the Green-horned Toad, which had already fled several hundred meters, suddenly split in two in mid-air. Green blood sprayed out.

A piercing shriek resounded. Demon Beasts splashed by the green blood began to emit green smoke, turning into corpses in the blink of an eye.
