Chapter 1407: One Against Six, Evil Souls and Fierce Ghosts!

“Senior, what’s the trial?” Luo Feng asked.

“You’ll find out soon enough.” Tiger King walked to a wind-sheltered rock at the foot of a cliff, sat cross-legged, and nodded at Falling Star Sky-Splitting Tiger.

Whoosh!

Juyan’s massive figure turned into a streak of crimson light and vanished into the vast wasteland in an instant.

Luo Feng was already somewhat used to Tiger King’s unorthodox style of doing things. He knew this upcoming trial would never be simple, so he immediately sat down cross-legged and quietly regulated his breathing.

Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! …

Not long after, the silent wasteland suddenly echoed with waves of terrifying beastly roars. In a flash, the entire land began to tremble slightly. Heavy footsteps, like war drums, rapidly approached from afar.

“This is…”

Luo Feng opened his eyes and looked toward the source of the sound. Ten li away, Demon Qi surged, sand flew, and stones danced. Some small trees were uprooted, swept high into the air by the violent demonic gale. The sky that had been clear moments ago turned gloomy at once.

“What strong Demon Qi!”

Luo Feng took a deep breath, then his brows lifted.

He saw within the demonic wind six massive Demon Beasts, each about the size of a small hill. Furthest to the left was a gigantic demon wolf with a pitch-black scorpion tail. The demon wolf’s body was bald of fur, covered instead with black scales. Its nearly two-zhang-long pitch-black scorpion tail ended in a hook like a curved blade, surrounded by a gray-green mist—obviously highly poisonous.

Besides the demon wolf, there was a Demon Python with three eyes, a purple spider the size of a hillock, a poisonous Demon Ape wreathed in blood-colored flames, and two Single-horned Demon Rhinos with lightning crawling over their bodies.

The six Demon Beasts clustered together, their Demon Qi merging and soaring into the clouds, their aura sweeping across the heavens. Luo Feng could feel that the aura of all six Demon Beasts was at least at the sixth level of the True Yuan Realm, perhaps even stronger than his.

Yet at this moment, in the eyes of these six fearsome Demon Beasts that made others tremble at the mere mention of their names, there wasn’t the slightest trace of demonic ferocity or brutality—only boundless terror. Above their heads, Falling Star Sky-Splitting Tiger paced slowly. Though it released no Demon Qi, its might already completely towered over the six Demon Beasts, like a king among demons presiding over the world.

In the blink of an eye, the six Demon Beasts arrived in front of Luo Feng. With a low growl from Juyan, they immediately froze, trembling, then lay prone on the ground, not daring to move.

Looking at the six Demon Beasts shivering all over, Luo Feng felt speechless. There wasn’t even half a shadow left of what Demon Beasts were supposed to look like.

“They’re all here.”

Sitting on the ground, Tiger King swept a glance over the six Demon Beasts and said to Luo Feng, “Brat, if you can defeat them all at the same time, then you’ll have the right to draw your saber in front of me. Same old rules: as long as you defeat them all together, I’ll give you a fist technique suited to your cultivation as a gift.”

“Alright!”

Luo Feng had long been drooling over the fist technique Tiger King had mentioned. Hearing this now, blazing battle intent burst forth in his eyes.

Tiger King turned his gaze to the six Demon Beasts lying flat on the ground. The six were startled, and their huge bodies instantly crowded together, too frightened to even breathe.

“Listen up. If you want to live, then attack this brat with everything you’ve got.”

At those words, the six Demon Beasts exchanged glances, their vicious and ruthless eyes converging on Luo Feng at once.

Tiger King lay back on the rock, raised a hand to dig at his ear, and said lazily, “If you manage to kill him, I’ll let you go, and even give each of you a Spirit Pill that can aid your cultivation.”

Roar!

As soon as Tiger King’s words fell, earth-shaking beastly roars rang out. Staring at Luo Feng, the six Demon Beasts revealed excited gleams in their eyes. Terrifying Demon Qi surged from their bodies, and their ferocious aura crashed toward Luo Feng like mountain winds and ocean waves, making his clothes snap and flutter wildly.

Their intelligence wasn’t low. From Tiger King and Juyan, they sensed massive danger. It seemed that with a mere glance, those two could annihilate them. They had thought they were doomed this time, but Tiger King’s words suddenly showed them a sliver of hope:

The human youth before them was weaker in aura than they were. Besides, they overwhelmingly outnumbered him. Victory would be easy as flipping a hand. Then not only could they escape death, they’d even get a Spirit Pill that could raise their cultivation!

Feeling the six Demon Beasts’ killing-intent-filled gazes, Luo Feng remained utterly unafraid. Light flashed in his eyes. “No need to hold back—come at me together!”

Roar! Roar!

Two roars rang out in succession as the two massive Single-horned Demon Rhinos, Thunderbolt rolling over their bodies, charged at Luo Feng simultaneously.

“Moving Clouds Inconstant!”

Luo Feng’s figure flickered, weaving right between the two Single-horned Demon Rhinos.

Roar!

The two Single-horned Demon Rhinos were no simple opponents either. At the instant their bodies stopped, their forehooves suddenly stomped viciously into the ground.

A faint prickling sensation came from his skin. Light flashed in Luo Feng’s eyes as his figure shot skyward, then he twisted in midair and slashed down with his saber.

“Summer Thunder Falling from the Sky!”

Almost simultaneously, the ground beneath his feet exploded as two bolts of Thunderbolt shot up into the sky, violently colliding with the dazzling arc of saber light.

Boom!

Intense thunder light detonated in midair, blinding to the eyes.

At that moment, a streak of black light and a purple line swept toward Luo Feng together—the scorpion-tail demon wolf and the purple giant python had seized the chance to launch a sneak attack.

Shff!

Luo Feng’s figure shattered—it was only an afterimage.

The next instant.

A saber light flashed horizontally through the sky, hacking into the scorpion-tail demon wolf’s body and carving a deep bloody gash across its hide.

“Heh… not bad. Juyan, he’s already half your disciple now.”

A smile appeared in Tiger King’s eyes. The timing and reactions of Luo Feng’s strikes were extremely sharp. Compared to his bout with Jiang Fengfeng nine days earlier, his moves now flowed like water, and he was even able to prepare his next step before the enemy attacked. Facing six opponents whose strength surpassed his own, he still managed to gain a slight upper hand. His battle experience and technique were worlds apart from nine days ago.

Juyan drooped his eyelids once, quietly watching Luo Feng’s battle against the six Demon Beasts.

Roar!

The human youth before them clearly didn’t have an overwhelmingly strong aura, yet the six of them together were still being suppressed by him, driven into a sorry state. This fight concerned their very lives—defeat meant death!

The six Demon Beasts roared in fury one after another, preparing to combine their strength and completely annihilate Luo Feng.

“Perfect, I’ll use you to test the results of my cultivation these last few days.”

Luo Feng stabbed Emperor Yan’s Sky-breaking Saber diagonally into the ground, eyes fixed on the six Demon Beasts charging toward him. He neither retreated nor dodged; sharp light flashed in his gaze.

Ang!

In that moment, Luo Feng’s figure began to rise infinitely tall in the eyes of the six Demon Beasts. In the void, a gigantic dragon was born, coiling around Luo Feng’s body, the two seeming to merge into one.

The dragon raised its head and roared at the sky, as though heaven and earth themselves were about to shatter.

Awoo…

The six Demon Beasts, brimming with killing intent, seemed to see something terrifying. Their Demon Qi gradually drew back, hesitation surfacing in their eyes—they didn’t know whether they should keep charging forward.

“Step of Sky-Burning Monarch!”

Catching the instant of distraction from the six Demon Beasts, Luo Feng circulated his True Yuan and stamped down with one step.

At once, golden flame light surged, igniting the very air. Within a radius of a thousand meters, the world turned into a realm of fire.

Boom!

The six Demon Beasts had only just come back to their senses when their bodies were already blasted away by the impact of the flames, smashing six huge pits into the ground, their auras weakened.

Tap!

As his foot landed, Luo Feng sheathed his saber and looked at Tiger King. “Master, how was that?”

Casting a glance at the six Demon Beasts lying on the ground, Tiger King’s eyes narrowed slightly as he thought to himself, “Looks like I’ve taken in quite an extraordinary disciple…”

He had originally thought Luo Feng would slowly tangle with the six Demon Beasts, using a strategy of defeating them one by one to claim victory, but the result exceeded his expectations.

Luo Feng had actually used Grand Momentum to suppress all six Demon Beasts, each at the peak of the sixth level of the True Yuan Realm, in one go—winning with a single strike!

Even as one of the four Beast Kings of the Southern Forest Wilderness, Tiger King found it hard to remain calm at this moment. Luo Feng’s rate of improvement was no longer merely “astonishing,” it was downright terrifying.

Looking at Luo Feng, Tiger King drew in a slow breath. He realized he had to completely reevaluate this disciple.

Ga ga ga…

Just then, all of a sudden, several streaks of shocking blood-colored mist plummeted from the extreme heights of the sky, condensing in midair into Blood Shadows one after another.

The Blood Shadows let out waves of cruel laughter as they shot toward Luo Feng like lightning, their shrill, chilling forms like evil spirits and vengeful ghosts struggling free from the depths of the Nine Netherworlds!
