Chapter 486 Miscalculation
Wu Long moved out first, thousands of spear images appearing in the air above and raining on the densely packed beasts, slaying thousands at a time as water blades formed and flew off around him, paving the way to the passage as the ladies followed right behind, firing off their attacks as well.
The peak of the mountain was instantly filled with the final cries of the beast horde and large amounts of blood flowed down the slope.
As soon as they started circulating their techniques, a beautiful translucent armor of glowing Spiritual Qi appeared on the ladies, giving them a valiant look as they felt their own attacks to be several times more powerful.
Wu Long moved forward, slaying the beasts further as the ladies circled to take a position in the clearing between the rocky walls that led to the lake.
“Haha, does he even need us protecting this place?”
One of the Core Disciples could not help but make a slightly astonished laugh at the sight of him descending the mountain, the beasts around him falling in numbers that put to shame what he showed in the Winter Forest crevasse.
“Don’t talk nonsense. He only did it so it easier on us to handle the initial impact. They are coming”
Xue Bing spoke as her eyes reflected the beasts that were left on the far corners of the wider part of the slope down below approaching their position while circling around.
Hua Ziyan’s Spiritual Qi Fists and Xue Bing’s Glaciers started forming around them while the disciples took combat poses, sending out their attacks as soon as the beasts approached within range.
Meanwhile Wu Long cut through the horde to the Profound Grade beast which also noticed him and rushed to meet him.
More talismans spread in all directions while he ran and when he met the beast, multiple glowing formation circles all connected to the giant one in the skies appeared above the place their paths collided.
*Clang*
A spear blade clashed with sharp claws of the beast.
“As expected… quite fast…”
Wu Long made a circling move with the beast mirroring it, while water blades made from melting the ice and snow around with lightning continued to slay some of the beasts running past him.
Another clash, with no winner this time either.
This beast did not have the hard shell of the spider Wu Long fought before, or the territorial advantage, it was simply agile enough to give the current him a run for his money.
It’s claws were too hard to attempt breaking through with force, and it’s physical strength was far higher than that spider so trapping it the same way would only be a waste of talismans, at least the ones he was willing to use.
The formation circles he released before started forming translucent spears ones like the one he held in his hand.
“Astral Projection Arrays”
And as the beast went for another attack, they started firing off, not all at once but with a seemingly random time difference, the spears imbued with his techniques.
The beast started evading, sensing danger of the attacks, it’s speed lagging at one point as it had to make a sharp turn, when…
“Falcon Talon Piercing Strike!”
Wu Long’s speartip pierced the beast’s side.
‘Too shallow!’
*Roar!*
He then let go of the spear, swiftly backing away as the claws tore through the air right in front of his face. 𝑖.𝑐ℴ𝑚
“Haha, you’re tougher than you look…”
He chuckled looking at the beast as they took a distance from each other. His eyes flashed with profound patterns as he looked for anything he might have overlooked only to see an irregular scale-like shield seemingly growing on a muscle to be blocking the speartip.
“I see… a sudden mutation that allows to harden inner tissue in that area… must be something one of your offspring developed…”
*Grrr*
A wry smile touched his lips while the beast growled at him.
“Astral Projection Arrays”
The glowing circles above formed more spears, though they no longer bore the form of the one he held and launched them at the beast while it lunged at him.
He narrowly dodged it’s claw, taking the spear stuck in the beast and a thunderclap resounded in the area as a bright flash covered the surroundings.
*Roaaarrr!!!*
The beast froze in place after receiving a massive lightning strike right through it’s insides, the scale blocking the spear becoming softer and with a strong push, the blade tore through the beast’s heart.
He swiftly withdrew the spear, turning it around and placing the shaft on his shoulder while he moved away from the final strike of the fatally wounded beast. 𝑖𝘳𝑎.𝒸ℴ𝘮
“Wheew~… that’s it for-… shit…”
He sighed with a smile, but his pupils contracted the next moment as he felt a rapidly approaching powerful aura… and not just one.
“Oh fuck off…”
As he saw the male with two more females he made a “you’ve got to be shitting me” face. He might have expected to fight the pair, but even he could not predict the multiple females.
“And that one’s even faster…”
His eyes stopped on the male which appeared beside the female beast he just slayed, sniffing it’s corpse.
*Roooaaar!!!*
“Angry? Haa~… yeah I’m not happy either you know…”
The two females which appeared with a delay stopped behind the male which was now staring Wu Long down with five bloodthirsty eyes.
“Haa~ how was I supposed to know you’re a pack… the cannibalistic ones usually are in pairs…”
He complained to the beast in a slightly sulky manner as so far his predictions were almost spot on with the exception of Do Bishui which he could understand, but this one completely threw him off as it could technically be predicted if he paid more attention to the evolution patterns of the beast horde.
The beast’s irregular eye growing on one side, which was a result of a mutation due to cannibalistic evolving, contracted it’s pupil.
“… I even so confidently told them there was a pair…”
His eyes on the beast slowly filled with a little annoyance.
The spear in his hand disappeared, replaced by a Profound Grade sword he got from Do Bishui’s Spatial Ring.
“Haa~, I’d rather not use any Domain to such an extent in this condition…”
He started lamenting with a sigh as the beasts launched at him at the same time from different directions and the surroundings became discolored in a spherical area around him, the beasts suddenly moving incredibly slowly inside it mid-jump.
Wu Long grasped the handle of the sword with his right hand, his eyes flashing with a profound light, the movement of his hand seemingly slow and leaving afterimages, but as if part of the movement in between was cut out.
The sword flashed in the last light of the sun that was discolored within the bubble as well, and then disappeared back into the sheathe, the next moment the discoloration passing as if nothing ever happened and the beasts fell to the ground, their large bodies cleanly sliced in two as the sounds of a sword being drawn and sheathed belatedly resounded at the same time.
“… but your speed, vastly superior to my current one, leaves me little choice”
He finished with the same expression on his face, feeling his condition instantly deteriorate.
“I should go help the others…”
He shook his head with lament as the malformed demonic cores of these beasts were not suitable to be used, swallowing the intense urge to spit on these corpses for giving him so much trouble with no reward for it, and turned to go help Hua Ziyan and the others with the beast horde which was already not that big after two days and a night of stampeding into the Winter Forest.
