Xiao Chen and the others walked through the endless mountains and aged forests. Along the way, they encountered seven or eight high-tier Demonic Beast, all of which were successfully killed. However, one Demon wolf beast had self-destructed its Internal Elixir, nearly hurting Yang Qing and the others.

It was worth mentioning that Demonic Beasts were different from Demons. Demons were from a race that was leftover from ancient times. They were as intelligent as humans, and their abilities were better than humans in all aspects, especially their life span was much longer than humans’.

Demonic Beasts were some mutated beasts that had absorbed the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. Most of them were bloodthirsty and cruel, fed on ordinary beasts or humans. Therefore, Demonic Beasts and Demon had to be distinct. They were not of the same and could not be mixed as one single thing.

But now, most people had already regarded the two as one thing, especially ordinary people, who were full of hatred and fear for Demons. They thought that Demons were brutal, bloodthirsty, treacherous, and deceitful. In fact, they were not. Most Demons were very friendly, who also had feelings and hoped to coexist with human beings.

Of course, there were exceptions to everything, just as there were scums among humans. This was also the reason why Demons were viewed as an evil and alien race, harming the common people. Hence, since ancient times, there had been countless cultivators’ sects to eliminate Demons, especially the Shushan Sect, which was one of the major Ancient Immortal Clan cultivators’ sects. They always took the responsibility of killing Demons. When the disciples of Shushan leave the mountain, the reason was mostly to kill the Demons.

On the summit, the two elders were still watching every move in the mountains. The purple-robed elder frowned deeply. When he saw Xiao Chen and the others easily killed seven or eight high-tier Demonic Beasts in such a short time, his expression became more and more solemn. The efficiency of these people was even higher than that of several groups of disciples who participated in the competition under his sect.

On the other hand, the green-robed elder was very relaxed and even wanted to sing. He thought, “Anyway, my Heaven Heart Pavilion will lose to Pure Mind Sect every time, and can’t even fight against them. If the Pure Mind Sect loses to a few outsiders this time, it will be really interesting. Let’s see what they can boast about this time.”

The more he thought about it this way, the more carefree the green-robed elder felt. The purple-robed elder’s expression was solemn as he said, “Can these people be disciples from the sects in the great realm… who have been sent out to train?”

After that, the purple-robed old man thought for a while, then he shook his head and said, “No, I have to go down and have a look.”

“This won’t do.” The green-robed elder hurriedly stopped him. “During the competition, other than the disciples and Lead Elder, we can’t go down. Don’t break the rules.”

···

Xiao Chen and the others were still in the woods. Two hours later, they had already collected more than a dozen Internal Elixir of Demonic Beasts, but Xiao Chen kept feeling that there was a faint aura lingering around them. It seemed that they had been spying on him and the others, which made him feel a little uncomfortable all the time.

“Brother Yang, if that’s enough, let’s go.”

Yang Qing turned around, with a little surprise on his face. “Now?”

At present, it was just in the season of Demonic Beast’s appearance, and these Monster Pills were valuable. If they were to leave now, it would be a pity. He even wanted to stay here for a night and continue to hunt the beasts to get more pills tomorrow. Then, he would sell them in the city. At least, he would not have to worry about the lack of money during the recent period.

When they were talking, a burning hurricane suddenly came. Wherever the hurricane passed, the grass and trees quickly withered. Everyone looked shocked. Looking back, they saw fire shooting up to the sky, and a huge Demonic Beast suddenly flew out from the raging flames.

The Demonic Beast was huge. Its eyes were as bright as a lamp, and its wings grew on its ribs. Its wings were burning with raging flames, and they were spread open to about 50 to 60 feet long.

“It’s the Flame-Winged Beast King!” Yang Qing exclaimed. This was a Tier-5 Demonic Beast. It was comparable to a human expert at the peak of the Nirvana Realm. Moreover, it was of an expert at the peak of the Nirvana Realm who was not created by Immortals’ League’s medicinal pill.

“Get out of the way!” Xiao Chen shouted in a hurry and immediately pushed the crowd away. With a loud bang, the forest behind him was burned in an instant. The hot airwaves rushed over as if they were going to roast these people.

“Let’s go!” Xiao Chen did not think too much. Right now, this Tier-5 Beast King was not something they could fight against. Just as they were about to leave, the Flame-winged Beast King caught up with them like lightning. It let out a shrill whistle and suddenly turned into a sea of fire in the air. A large blaze swept toward the crowd.

Xiao Chen had no choice but to turn around and pushed out his palms at the same time. Suddenly, the dragon’s roar shook the sky, and the low-tier Demonic Beasts within the five-kilometer radius fled in panic.

It was the fifth move of the Dragon Roar Palm, the Ice Dragon’s Roar. Two 15 feet long blue ice dragons rushed toward the Flame-Winged Beast King in the sky and managed to defend for a while. The two palm strength condensed into the mystical ice, temporarily wrapping the Beast King’s wings.

“Get going!” Xiao Chen shouted at the people behind him. However, Chu Qi leaped, her figure flashed and stepped on the two rows of ice formed by him to assassinate the Beast King.

The Beast King roared and suddenly spurted fire from its mouth. Chu Qi instantly blocked the incoming flames with the Full Moon Blade, but she was pushed back by this ferocious force.

“Bang, bang!” With two crisp sounds, the two rows of ice that Xiao Chen had created were also shattered by the Beast King. In the blink of an eye, a large number of flames attacked the crowd again. Yang Qing and the others had no choice but to condense a barrier to resist.

The wind on the mountain peak was cold. The two elders focused their attention on their battle with the Beast King. The green-robed elder smiled and said, “This brat is not too bad with the magic spells. He is able to rely on palm strength to form the Mystic Ice. Have you seen such a Method before?”

The purple-robed elder remained silent. Moments later, he said, “This kid should have reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm. Otherwise, he won’t be able to trap the Beast King. Alas…” In the end, he let out a deep sigh. His eldest disciple, Liu Qing, was also at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm. However, compared to this kid, he was probably weaker.

In the woods, after 30 minutes, they finally injured the Flame-winged Beast King with Xiao Chen’s Roar of Ice Dragon Spirits after a bitter struggle. But they also looked a little like a drowned mouse. Yang Qing and the others’ clothes were burned in many places, and even their hair curled from the burn.

Chu Qi’s clothes were thin in the first place, and after being burned by the fire, it was in rags and parts of her body were uncovered, which was like an eye feast. Fortunately, the Beast King seemed to be running out of its Mystic Power, so it was now a little worn out and could no longer launch a large-scale fire attack.

At this moment, several sword radiance suddenly came from the distance. “Swoosh! Swoosh!” They pierced the Beast King’s wings. The Beast King let out a sharp whistle and dashed around in the air. But its wings were injured, so it finally fell from the sky.

“It’s a Tier-5 Beast King! Get the Monster Pill!”

Following after was a shout that rang in the distance. A dozen or more people rapidly rushed over. Those ten over people were dressed in violet clothes. Only a man who was in the lead was dressed in white. Behind him were three other women. The rest were all young men.

Yang Qing looked at the direction where the voice came from and frowned, “Someone is coming to rob Monster Pill.” A man next to him cursed in a hurry, “Fuck, these people are so shameless!”

As soon as he finished speaking, the white-robed man, who was the leader of the group, had already slashed at the seriously injured King of Beasts. Chu Qi moved and also rushed to attack.

Seeing that someone was robbing the Beast King, the white-robed man’s eyes turned cold and he hit Chu Qi with his palm. Chu Qi’s body turned away speedily and dodged the palm strength. Ignoring this person, she continued to attack the Beast King.

The man in white saw that she had underestimated him, then he said coldly, “Young lady, are you going to snatch the Beast King’s Inner Elixir from me?”

The man spoke with a very domineering tone as if this Demonic Beast mountain range was owned by his family. However, Chu Qi’s eyes were cold and she did not even look at him. She only said these words coldly, “Get out of here.”

The man could not help but be stunned, and then his eyes became colder. He said coldly, “Well, according to the rules of Demonic Beast mountain range, whoever gives the final blow will have Monster Pill. It depends on whether you have the ability or not!” After saying that he chanted an incantation quickly, three or five rows of sharp golden Sword Qi rushed to the dying Beast King at full speed.

In the distance, Yang Qing and the others were all angry. The man’s cultivation was obviously above Chu Qi, and the battle just now had consumed a lot of her True Energy. “Wasn’t it obvious that he was bullying people?”

Just as they were about to help her, several figures flashed and stopped them. A purple-robed man smiled and said, “Don’t you know the rules of the Demonic Beasts Mountain Range? Whoever gives the last blow to the Demonic Beast gets the Internal Elixir. If you want to snatch the inner elixir, you have to ask us first if you want to intervene.”

After hearing this, Yang Qing and the rest were furious. However, even though they were angry, they had no reason to refute it. They had once stayed in Wastelands and knew that this was the rule. It was not only in the Demonic Beast Mountain Range but also in other places.

When people seized the same treasure, the treasure would belong to the one who gave the treasure-guardian beast the final blow. If they did not act according to the rules, the only thing they could do was to engage in a bloody battle. They would either fight to death or fight to the end until one side surrendered. In Wastelands, one had to rely on one’s strength to speak. There were no principles, even if the Flame-winged Beast King was seriously injured by them first.

The man in purple smiled contemptuously and then turned to the man in white and shouted, “Senior Brother Liu, come on!”

Not far away, Xiao Chen’s eyebrows were deeply furrowed, and he did not make a move. The man in white was at most at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, and he had used pills to arrive at that level. He was not like Xiaoyue and Su Zimu, who had cultivated to the peak of Nascent Soul by themselves. If he wanted to do anything, he could defeat him in one move.

But he did not make a move, because he felt that the fluctuation of the spirit energy his Divine Sense had sensed earlier had seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, and there seemed to be a hint of threat in it as if it was warning him.

This made him a little wary. He thought about whether he should stop Chu Qi. After all, the opponent might be a cultivator who was about to enter the Grand Completion Realm that was not driven by pills.

Although The Annihilation Times was coming, the second stage had not arrived yet. The cultivators in the Apotheosis Realm still had an unshakable position, and they were the main force of a sect.

As for the Immortals’ League, they were just digging their graves by driving their cultivations with pills. When the second stage of the Annihilation Times came, these people who abused the pills could only be cannon fodder in the end. The real experts were people such as Zi Mo, Qingfeng and Perfected Immortal Qing Chen, who did not rely on pills to improve their cultivation. Even if they had to consume it, they would not abuse it.

“Clang! Clang!” Two sharp sounds interrupted Xiao Chen’s train of thought. It turned out that the man in white blocked Chu Qi’s two Full Moon Blades aimed at the Beast King.

The man in white sneered and said, “Girl, I advise you to give up. No one can take away the last blow from me.” After saying that, he pointed at the air, and a sharp Sword Qi rushed toward the Beast King’s neck. With a sound, blood splashed, and the Beast King’s head flew away.

“Good! Good! Good job, Senior Brother Liu!” The dozen or more people immediately cheered loudly. The man in purple looked at Yang Qing and said with a faint smile, “It’s over.”

Yang Qing and the others were so angry that they gnashed their teeth, but there was nothing they could do. The rules were the rules. If they were to fight, both sides would suffer in the end. However, they had important things to deal with, so it was not suitable for them to fight with them.

The man in white looked at Chu Qi with a proud face. He smiled and said, “Miss, thanks for giving in to me. I…”

Without finishing his words, Chu Qi moved like lightning. She had never paid attention to what he said from the beginning to the end. After rushing to the corpse of the Beast King, she directly took the Internal Elixir inside without saying a word.

The dozen or more people in the distance were all shocked, and the eyes of the man in white suddenly turned cold. He said coldly, “Girl, are you going to act against the rules?”

The atmosphere was frozen for a moment. At this moment, everyone took out their magic treasures and weapons.
