Hula, everyone stood up nervously.
Ding Hao also instantly opened his eyes and looked in the direction of the voice.
“It’s okay, you don’t have to be nervous. It’s an ordinary beast that got caught up in the trap…” Soon came the reassuring voice of the hunter youth Zhang Fan. His voice was simple. He sounded honest and trustworthy, which made all the disples breathe a sigh of relief.
The night seemed to have a magic power that made people become alert and afraid.
During the first half of the night, everyone spent their time in a cautious atmosphere. The warning sound of traps came from time to time, which turned out to be common wild animals.
At the end of the night, many people could not stand the fatigue and finally fell asleep.
The disciples who took the guard also looked sleepy.
Only Ding Hao had been sitting steadily on the top of the hill. Sometimes, he would get to look around their surroundings.
Seeing Senior Brother Ding sit beside him full of vigilance, the disciples felt safe and grateful.
Everyone knew it deep in their hearts.
In theory, Ding Hao was the strongest of all and should enjoy the service of them all, however, it turned out to be that they had enjoyed Ding Hao’s protection instead. They were lucky that they had him. If any other man had been their leader, they would not be so comfortable at all.
After midnight, the temperature dropped, and the roar of wild animals increased.
The silver moon in the sky silver moon also hidden behind the thick clouds.
The stars were dim.
Ding Hao frowned and stood up.
A strong uneasiness rolled up at the bottom of his heart as if something bad was going to happen.
Suddenly—
Ding!
A very subtle metallic sound rang into Ding Hao’s ear.
“Something bad!”
Ding Hao seemed to perceive something. He rushed downward. Under the dim light of night, like a wisp of smoke, he flew away quickly in the direction of the sound.
The hair-raising scene soon appeared in Ding Hao’s eyes.
The two guarding disciples already fell into deep sleep.
Meanwhile, a monster like a fox or a wolf, covered in a light black dense mist, crossed over the warning traps set by them. As if it was dancing, it quietly approached the sleeping disciples.
The monster’s sharp and fine teeth were like a row of daggers under the starlight, and its scarlet eyes were flashing with terrible chilling!
It was a monster!
The black mist was a Demon Aura.
The monster was a Ominous Beast, ranked the lowest among all the demons.
“Wake up!” Ding Hao shouted.
Seeing the fierce beast was rushing to the disciples with its mouth wide open, at this moment, Ding Hao did not have the time to consider. He simply performed the Yan (Smoke) Technique of Yan Tao Mi Li Technique. Then, like a wisp of smoke in the dark, he instantly came near the disciples and the beast.
Swoosh!
Ding Hao stabbed forward with his sword and went toward the fierce beast.
The fierce beast looked in shock. In its scarlet pupils, Ding Hao’s figure was reflected. He was rushing toward it.
It stopped hiding, raised its head, and roared. Then, it actually stood up with its feet supporting it on the ground. It waved its claws and slapped hard toward Ding Hao.
Boom!
Huge forces collided.
A wave of force poured in. Ding Hao’s body shook but he did not regress.
At this time, the fierce beast’s steel claws already clenched Ding Hao’s rusty sword. It exerted its strength, and then black demonic power spurted out. It was trying to tear up Ding Hao’s rusted sword.
“Die!”
Ding Hao thundered and released his Qi.
The Icing air filled the surrounding sky, and the rusted sword gleamed with silver light. With a snap, the pair of iron claws were cut off by more than half.
Like an arrow, foul blood gushed out from the sharp claws of the fierce beast.
“Boohoo…” The beast growled in pain.
Its claws were comparable to fine steel, and it was absolutely enough to crush ordinary sword weapons in an instant.
But the rusted sword in Ding Hao’s hand was a magic weapon that even a Martial King expert would env. Moreover, Ding Hao had released his Qi in the previous attack. In the end, the beast suffered a lot due to its carelessness.
It was not until this time that other nominal disciples woke up from sleep.
Especially the two sleeping and confused guarding disciples. At that time, their faces paled, and their first reaction was not to fight, but panic screaming. They were almost crawling back the camp.
“Why are you back? Go support Senior Brother Ding, go!”
In the dim light of night, someone shouted angrily.
It was Zhang Fan’s voice.
Then, under the lonely starlight, Fang Tianyi and Wang Xiaoqi rushed out at once toward the battlefield.
And this time, Ding Hao had been tangled with the monster whose claws had been broken.
…
This battle was different from the that in a ring. The fierce beast knew no rules at all, especially after getting injured, it would only become more ferocious. It had so many weapons, from his claws, teeth, and tail … Pain drove it crazy. As if it was in a frenzied state, it desperately charged toward Ding Hao.
At that time, the intermittent branches flew and the dust scattered. The beast and the man were completely shrouded in them.
Ding Hao had been hit several times.
If it had been in the past, he would have been injured all over his body. However, after requiring the “Skin Golden Body”, Ding Hao’s skin was as hard as leather and his muscles became more tough. Although his robe was almost torn to pieces, he did not have any injury except for layers of white marks on his body.
“Well, the ‘Skin Golden Body’, the first layer of the Ice and Fire Nine Turns Golden Body is already so powerful. Once it is completed, wouldn’t I be bulletproof? Ha ha ha!”
With the passage of time, Ding Hao soon adapted to such a battle and roared loudly.
At this point, there was no other idea on his mind.
Only one thought remained—
Kill this beast!
Moreover, after the initial chaos, Ding Hao found that the strength of this beast was not as terrifying as he had imagined.
He finally found the perfect state gradually.
A rusted sword, which seemed to break at any moment, under his guidance, blossomed into dazzling sword flowers, flashing like meteors. Familiar sword moves were being continuously displayed like a flowing water.
“‘Dragon King’s Water-Splitting Style’… ‘Dragon King Emerges’! Kill!”
With a roar, Ding Hao finally brought out his strongest sword move at present. The rusted sword released six flowers. Like lighting, it vaguely drew a dragon claw pattern in the air, and instantly breached the fierce beast’s defense.
Swoosh!
A scream rang.
Whoosh!
The sound of a sharp knife cutting leather rang.
“Boohoo…” The Ominous Beast cried in pain and stopped in the middle of its fierce attack.
Its eyes glowed with red light. Between his chest and throat, there was a large amount of mist, and then a large amount of foul blood suddenly gushed out. Next, like a wild boar, its standing body finally flopped to the ground, shaking the land and stirring up a cloud of dust.
