Zhu Xian: The way of heaven collapses, and I only have one sword!

Chapter 69 The ancient ferocious beast, Kuiniu appears!
After arriving next to Chen Qiye, Lu Xueqi frowned, turned her head to look at Chen Qiye and asked, "Qiye, have you seen who these people are?"

Chen Qiye nodded and said, "These people are all from the Demon Sect, and they are the strongest among them."

As soon as the words fell, the two heard a long roar like a dragon's roar echoing from the deep sea. Almost simultaneously, the sounds of wind, rain, and thunder resounded throughout the world. A flash of lightning streaked across the sky, followed by a roar like thunder. A massive wave as tall as a mountain was forcibly torn apart, and a massive figure leaped from the depths of the ocean and landed heavily on the ground.

Suddenly, the entire Liubo Mountain shook violently. Chen Qiye and Lu Xueqi in the sky, along with the righteous people at the edge of the forest, held their breath. Before them appeared an enormous beast, even larger than the Spiritual Venerable Water Qilin atop Qingyun Mountain's Tongtian Peak. It resembled a cow, its body azure, but without horns. Most astonishingly, beneath this enormous body, lay a single, immensely stout leg, nestled in the center of its belly.

As the giant beast appeared, the men in black on the beach quickly retreated into the darkness. However, on the beach, every few feet, there was a strange object glowing red, forming a huge circle in front of the giant beast.

The next second as Chen Qiye and Lu Xueqi watched, the giant beast soared into the air and leaped forward. Almost instantly, the sound of chanting incantations echoed through the darkness, and the faint red glowing points suddenly lit up. The previously vanished men in black also returned, approaching the objects.

Suddenly, the objects on the ground glowed bright red. Every few feet, the red light suddenly shot out horizontally, and the red light instantly connected into one, forming a huge red light circle. Before anyone could react, the red light circle rose into the air again, forming a spectacular red light wall, trapping the giant beast within.

At the same time, more red light continued to shoot straight into the sky, and finally converged at one point. The light became brighter, and a figure slowly appeared in the air.

The Ghost King was seen standing on an ancient tripod that was glowing red all over, with his eyes slightly closed, his hands crossed in front of his chest to form a seal, and he kept chanting spells, and all the red light continued to gather on the ancient tripod under his feet.

With a furious roar, the beast leaped up and crashed straight into the red wall of light. The Ghost King's expression in midair changed slightly, and his chanting of the incantation quickened. The next second, accompanied by a thunderclap above the Ghost King's head, the beast crashed into the wall of light again.

Thunder roared through the sky, and the massive red wall of light suddenly trembled. Countless lightning bolts streaked across it, causing the black-clad men standing outside to tremble. In mid-air, the Ghost King's face paled.

It was obvious that the red light curtain was very stable and had not shattered. The ancient cauldron at the Ghost King's feet glowed even brighter red, emitting a powerful aura. As time passed, the beast's impact began to weaken. Meanwhile, the Demon Cult's formation remained intact, but the men in black were also not feeling well.

The Ghost King, standing atop the ancient cauldron in mid-air, looked utterly pale. It was clear that trapping this ancient beast would be no easy task, even with the Fulong Cauldron's assistance. Of the dozens of men in black on the ground, half had already collapsed, and the rest were mostly staggering. Only a few of the more advanced still persisted around the light curtain.

As the wind and rain gradually subsided, the giant beast, after its last unsuccessful attack, gasped and roared, and stood there as if accepting its fate, not moving anymore.

"Qi Ye, the giant beast is dying. What should we do?" Lu Xueqi said as she looked at the giant beast trapped in the red wall of light.

"Go and cause some trouble for them." Chen Qiye said after thinking for a while.

After learning Chen Qiye's reply, Lu Xueqi urged the Tianya Sword and rushed towards the red wall of light at lightning speed. In the blink of an eye, she had already reached the beach, and the demon cult members screamed in surprise.

The Ghost King floated in mid-air, his face still pale but gradually calming. Hearing the commotion, he remained calm, maintaining the strange formation. He glanced downwards, his brows furrowed slightly, and whispered, "Tianya?"

The men in black were thrown into chaos by Lu Xueqi's sudden appearance, and the Ghost King in the air was unable to get away and come down to stop her. The originally stable situation on the beach suddenly fell into chaos, and even the giant beast trapped in the light curtain opened its eyes that had been closed.

At this moment, a beam of green light rushed out from the middle of the road, and in the blink of an eye, it caught up with Lu Xueqi and blocked her way. The Tianya Sword made a crisp sound, forcing the green light back a little, but Lu Xueqi herself was also blocked several feet away from the red light curtain.

The person who came was Qinglong. He suddenly appeared in front of Lu Xueqi, and at the same time his right hand had returned to his sleeve.

"Young lady..." Qinglong smiled, not seeming to regard Lu Xueqi as an enemy. He said, "We trapped this Kuiniu with great effort, and it poses no threat to your sect. There's no need for us to start a dispute over it, right?"

"Even if there is no hindrance, I, Chen Qiye, will not let you capture him smoothly." As the words fell, Chen Qiye in mid-air waved the Autumn Water Without Trace sword and slashed it straight at Qinglong's face.

Qinglong was startled. Facing the Nine Heavens Divine Weapon Qiu Shui Wuhen charging headlong, even his formidable Daoist master couldn't underestimate him. He could only frown and accept the challenge. The three men in the arena immediately engaged in a fierce battle. Qinglong's Daoist skill was the highest of the three, and his Qiankun Qingguang Ring was a magical weapon comparable to Tianya and Qiu Shui Wuhen's. Yet, facing two men in quick succession, he managed to maintain a rare stalemate. The righteous disciples at the edge of the forest, along with the three men locked in a stalemate on the beach, were momentarily undecided. The Demon Cult's attention was now captivated by Qinglong's one-on-two confrontation. Even the Ghost King, presiding over the formation at the top, watched the battle unfold.

Without anyone noticing, Tian Ling'er from Dazhu Peak slipped past everyone's sight and quietly flew towards the huge light curtain. The black-clad men who had been guarding the area were lying on the ground, apparently killed in the fight that had trapped the Kuiniu.

Tian Ling'er noticed that all the red light was emanating from a dark red iron cone stuck upside down in the sand. It then shot upwards continuously, converging on the ancient cauldron at the Ghost King's feet in mid-air. Clearly, the magic circle formed by these elements and the ancient cauldron in mid-air were the key to trapping the Kuiniu.

Tian Ling'er didn't think any more, and the Amber Red Silk flew out, sweeping directly towards those things. With a loud "bang", the Amber Red Silk hit an iron spike.

The red light curtain suddenly trembled violently, and the entire magic circle was thrown into chaos. The Ghost King in mid-air, the other black-clad members of the Demon Cult, including the trapped Kuiniu, and the righteous people at the edge of the forest all turned to look.

A flash of red light startled Tian Ling'er. In just a moment, everyone around them reacted. The black-clad men from the Demon Cult roared and charged towards them. Even further afield, people appeared, swarming towards them. The atmosphere instantly reached a fever pitch, and Tian Ling'er's face paled.

In mid-air, the Ghost King's expression suddenly changed drastically, and he shouted angrily: "Little girl, you don't know how to live or die, you're ruining my plan!"

At this moment, sounds rose and fell in the distance, and countless magical weapons shone. It turned out that the leaders of the righteous path and the demonic cult had fought fiercely all the way to this place, and the battle raged on both sides. The crowds arriving suddenly noticed a huge wall of light on the beach, with a grotesque beast trapped within it. Their movements slowed for a moment. Bai Duzi and Patriarch Duanmu seized the opportunity and leaped away simultaneously, abandoning Taoist Cangsong and Tian Buyi, and returned to the vicinity of the Ghost King Sect's camp.

Taoist Cangsong and Tian Buyi had no desire to fight anymore and let them go. Tian Buyi, in particular, looked from afar and saw that it seemed as if his daughter was being surrounded by the demon sect. His face turned pale and he rushed over with his magic sword.

Bai Duzi and Patriarch Duanmu stood together. They first looked towards Qinglong, and saw that Qinglong was still at ease fighting two enemies alone. His face changed, and then he looked up at the sky. He saw that the Ghost King pounced down, but the ancient tripod was still slowly turning in the air, emitting red light.

Chen Qiye had clearly noticed Tian Ling'er, who was surrounded by the demonic cultists. At that moment, she forcibly pulled the iron spike out. The next second, the sky was filled with crimson light, and the entire formation was thrown into disarray. Especially in front of Tian Ling'er, as the dark red iron spike was pulled out, a hole more than a meter high opened in the previously tight formation.

Seeing this, Chen Qiye couldn't help but curse. He had indeed come to cause trouble, but he hadn't thought about actually dealing with the giant beast, Kuiniu. But before he could think about it, Kuiniu had already rushed out of the hole, not caring about friend or foe, and biting directly at Tian Ling'er.

Tian Ling'er was horrified to see a bloody mouth rushing towards her. The fishy smell was so strong that she was stunned for a moment and could not move.

Seeing this, Chen Qiye quickly swung his sword, temporarily forcing Qinglong back. In a flash, he was in front of Tian Ling'er. He held the Autumn Water Sword in his hand horizontally, and a sharp sword energy whistled out, charging straight at the Kuiniu. The Kuiniu sensed the threat, and its huge head suddenly turned towards Chen Qiye. Its copper-bell-like eyes were filled with anger and savagery. Its sturdy single foot stomped heavily on the ground, stirring up a cloud of sand and gravel.

"Senior Sister Tian, ​​step back quickly!" Chen Qiye shouted, and Tian Ling'er came to her senses and staggered back.

After Tian Ling'er retreated to a safe distance, Chen Qiye turned to look at the enraged Kuiniu. It swung its massive head and rammed directly into the sword energy. With a loud bang, the recoil was so strong that even Chen Qiye, despite his cultivation level, took several steps back.

Before Chen Qiye could catch his breath, the Kuiniu's bloody mouth bit him on the head again. Before everyone arrived, Chen Qiye was already pinned under the Kuiniu.

This huge change made Tian Buyi, Cangsong and others feel dazed, especially Lu Xueqi, who was even more frightened. The faces of everyone in Qingyun Sect also suddenly twisted at this moment.

Kuiniu roared towards the sky, its huge body soared into the air, and its huge single foot stepped straight towards Chen Qiye. The power was so great that everyone present held their breath.

"Over the years in Qingyun Sect, I have often observed hundreds of beasts and tried to create their own secret techniques, but there were always shortcomings. However, hundreds of beasts were unable to complete that secret technique. Today, I saw this strange beast complete the secret technique!"
