Chapter 1076: Chapter 485: Making a Friend (Part 2)

A group of Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators collaborated seamlessly, among them were Ice cultivators, casting Ice Element magic to freeze the Armadillo beast.

Seeing this, the other cultivators continued to cast Fire Element divine techniques, using the ice and fire tactics, the cold and heat burned and froze its scales, until with a "crack," the scales finally shattered under the attack of two distinct forces.

Without the protection of its scale armor, how could the Armadillo be a match for the crowd?

A concentrated attack descended upon it, the colorful array of attacks struck the Armadillo beast, and it finally let out a wretched scream, collapsing to the ground.

Though the demon beast was slain, the convoy paid a heavy price.

In this battle, dozens of cultivators perished, and many more were injured.

They barely had time to catch their breath before the surrounding mist became denser, almost completely obscuring their vision.

Sharp cries sounded continuously, a group of bat-like demon beasts rushed out from the mist, moving rapidly, bringing a foul wind wherever they went.

"Buzzing..."

Sound waves swept forth.

In an instant, countless cultivators felt as if their eardrums were about to burst; for many people, their brains resonated with a "buzzing," causing unbearable pain.

"Not good! Be careful! These are ’Pig-faced Bats,’ communal demon beasts; most of them are Tier One and Tier Two. Close off your hearing and quickly slay the demon beasts!"

Seeing the soundwave attack, Yu Yunyi’s face changed, and she couldn’t help but shout out, signaling everyone to follow her lead.

Li Yunjing also felt a wave of sound piercing his mind, making his brain tremble. However, it was just a needle prick, and he quickly returned to normal.

These "Pig-faced Bats" did not reach Tier Three, posing no lethal threat to Li Yunjing.

Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao all turned pale, showing signs of pain.

Li Yunjing glanced at them and, seeing that they weren’t badly hurt, didn’t intervene!

Pain is also a form of tempering! 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

The three have less practical experience; this kind of soundwave attack is rare, and it’s the perfect opportunity for them to adapt, so that when they encounter such experts in the future, they can be more composed.

"Ah..."

These "Pig-faced Bats" specifically targeted injured cultivators, using their sharp teeth to bite their necks. Streams of blood, from the wounds, entered the "Pig-faced Bats’" bellies through their piercing mouths.

The convoy immediately descended into chaos. Under the attack of hundreds of "Pig-faced Bats," many cultivators stumbled over each other, screams filled the air.

"Woo woo woo..."

Seeing the situation, Yu Yunyi once again pulled out her flute and began to play it, waves of sound vibrated from her magical artifact, dispersing the soundwave frequency created by the "Pig-faced Bats."

"Quick! Everyone, act together! Kill these ’Pig-faced Bats,’ my wife can’t hold on much longer!"

Nangong Yuan’s face was filled with urgency, shouting repeatedly.

"Yes!"

A few specialists from the Nangong Family hastened to cast their spells, taking the chance when the Sound Wave Skill dissipated, they strived to slay the "Pig-faced Bats" in the sky.

These bats, as communal demon beasts, besides their powerful soundwave attacks, didn’t have strong offense or defense. At this moment, the cultivators got a brief respite, and they immediately acted. A flock of "Pig-faced Bats" was killed, falling to the ground.

"Go!"

Seeing this, Li Yunjing shook the "Myriad Poison Banner," transforming it into a giant green cloth, flying in the air. It vibrated, and hundreds of "Pig-faced Bats" were sucked into the "Myriad Poison Banner" and disappeared without a trace.

With this move, half of the "Pig-faced Bats" in the sky vanished.

The remaining cultivators were invigorated, shouting as they charged forward, releasing their magical treasures one after another, casting a myriad of divine techniques and magic, bombarding the "Pig-faced Bats."

With Li Yunjing’s assistance, in no time, the "Pig-faced Bats" were mostly killed; aside from a few that fled, the rest of the bodies were strewn across the ground.

At this point, the convoy’s numbers had dwindled further, almost halved, and less than one-third of the Qi Refining Realm cultivators remained.

The remaining Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators were also individually exhausted.

Li Yunjing glanced around, pausing briefly on some Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators, with a hint of a cold smile at the corners of his mouth.

Earlier, when faced with the "Pig-faced Bats’" attack, nearly everyone was affected.

This allowed Li Yunjing, through these people’s auras, to discern everyone’s strength.

Some individuals hidden within the Nangong Family’s convoy seemed unusual to Li Yunjing!

These people have been concealing their true abilities!

Of course, these individuals didn’t have the aura of Shenxiao Dao Sect disciples; the specific purpose was unknown, but hidden motives surely weren’t good; they all must have ulterior motives.

Li Yunjing decided to tread cautiously.

After identifying the dangerous targets, Li Yunjing secretly informed Yu Yunyi, Lv Ruoxi, and Fu Chao.

The three silently scrutinized the target individuals, then pretended as though nothing had happened.

As for the Nangong Family, naturally, there was no need to notify them.

"Thank you, Brother Li, for intervening; otherwise, our losses would have been massive!"

After cleaning the battlefield, Nangong Yuan brought the spoils to Li Yunjing’s side, offering him a "Hundred Treasures Pouch," continually expressing his gratitude.

"It’s what should be done! Fellow Daoist Nangong, no need for formalities; should difficulty arise, feel free to seek my help!"

Li Yunjing, for once, said a few polite words.
