The giant sword was like a blue lightning, piercing suddenly from the top of the Blood Scale Bear's head. The powerful sword energy instantly penetrated its body completely, as if it was going to tear the flesh of this level six monster into two halves.

After the tip of the sword penetrated, it spun out with the force of thunder, bringing out a large amount of warm blood, and a strong smell of blood filled the air.

Looking at the methods used by these people, Chu Ci couldn't help but wonder if he had any chance of winning against these five people.

If he fought against several people without knowing anything, he would most likely be surrounded by a sword formation. However, now he has seen clearly the methods of several people, and there are still some flaws in them. If he fights against these people at this moment, Chu Ci is 70% sure that he can kill them all.

"Ah--" The Blood Scale Bear let out an extremely shrill howl. Its eyes were red, like burning flames, and it stared at the middle-aged man who was wielding the giant sword not far away.

His eyes were filled with anger and unwillingness, and he was eager to tear the other person apart.

Suddenly, the Blood Scale Bear kicked the ground with both feet, and rushed forward like an arrow. Its strength reached its peak at this moment, and every time it leaped up, it was like an earthquake, causing the surrounding earth to tremble.

Relying on this amazing power, the Blood Scale Bear instantly accelerated and rushed straight towards the middle-aged man.

The sixth-level monster's counterattack before death was particularly fierce. Its huge body, wrapped in powerful force, smashed towards the middle-aged man fiercely.

Seeing this, the middle-aged man's face changed drastically. He quickly retreated and at the same time controlled the giant sword to slash at the Blood Scale Bear again.

The giant sword came with a whistling sound, and it arrived first and hit the blood-scaled bear hard.

The powerful force caused the Blood Scale Bear to roll sideways several feet.

The middle-aged man heaved a sigh of relief when he saw this, but he still didn't dare to be careless. Instead, he hovered in the air, staring closely at the Blood Scale Bear, swinging his giant sword, ready to attack again, determined to kill this terrible monster completely.

At this moment, a ball of light suddenly flashed from the Blood Scale Bear's dantian. The light was so bright and dazzling that it immediately attracted Chu Ci's attention.

His heart tightened and he immediately realized that something was wrong. The spiritual light contained an extremely terrifying aura.

"Danger!" Chu Ci blurted out, his voice full of urgency. At the same time, without the slightest hesitation, he immediately retreated, activating the Earthly Evil Flashing Technique, and in a few flashes, he had flashed a distance of two or three hundred feet.

As he entered the late stage of foundation building, the maximum distance of the Earthly Evil Flashing Art could be exerted to 35 meters.

This blood-scaled bear actually chose to self-destruct. This decisive method made Chu Ci feel frightened.

Fortunately, he had seen the self-explosion of a bright-horned deer before and had a certain understanding of the situation, otherwise he would not have been able to react in the first place.

Boom! With a loud bang that shook the earth, the entire ground trembled. A huge spiritual force rushed up into the sky, forming a dazzling beam of light.

The nearby grass and trees were instantly blown away by the impact of this energy, and everything within a hundred feet around the Blood Scale Bear was blown to pieces. The strong shock wave even made the air in the distance become blazingly hot, as if it was going to burn everything.

Thanks to Chu Ci's timely reminder, the middle-aged man closest to the scene also jumped back immediately. Although he was on the edge of the explosion, he managed to avoid the center of the explosion and only suffered minor injuries.

The other four people were originally far away and were unharmed at this moment, but they had some tinnitus due to the earth-shaking roar.

After the explosion, the air was still filled with thick smoke and the smell of blood. An old man with a white beard looked at the scene in front of him and asked with some illusion: "Second brother, are you okay?"

Following these words, the others also looked at the middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man looked a little pale. He shook his head gently, with a hint of fear and relief in his voice: "I'm fine, I wasn't affected too much. We should really thank this fellow Taoist. If he hadn't reminded me in time, I'm afraid I would have been dead by now, with no place to bury my body."

The other people also came over and clasped their fists towards Chu Ci with gratitude: "Thank you so much for what happened just now. If you hadn't reminded us in time, I'm afraid we would have been greatly affected."

Chu Ci said casually: "You and I are both practitioners. It's just a small matter. You don't have to be polite."

At this time, one of them frowned and said to himself, "Why did this blood scale bear suddenly explode? We were about to subdue it. It's really strange."

The middle-aged man looked solemn and said in a deep voice: "I don't know either. But judging from the situation, he should have chosen to self-destruct after realizing that he could not escape, so he died with us."

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this. They obviously had not expected that this Blood Scale Bear would be so determined that it would rather self-destruct than fall into their hands.

The person who had just spoken said again: "Alas, what a pity, such a good monster, we spent so much effort to injure it, but in the end we got nothing. It seems that our efforts were in vain this time."

The middle-aged man patted the other man on the shoulder and said, "Yuan Ji, forget it. We are lucky to have escaped this disaster. Those material possessions are just passing clouds after all. There is no need to ask for them anymore. The road of cultivation is long, and we still have many opportunities to find better opportunities."

Listening to the way the men addressed each other and the conversation, Chu Ci's heart moved. The middle-aged man was obviously the leader of the group, calling himself Li Yuanzhong. The others all called him the second brother, and the short old man just now was called Yuanji.

From this, it seems that they should be five brothers, and all of them have the surname Li. They should be the members of the Li family that I have been looking for.

However, Chu Ci held a different view on what these people said was "all in vain". He turned his eyes slightly, and in his consciousness, he had already caught a rapidly approaching breath. He could clearly sense that another blood scale bear was rushing towards them at a high speed.

Lin Fuxing and his companions had been besieged by the Blood Scale Bear before. Later, Chu Ci looked up the information of this monster in the Record of Ten Thousand Monsters.

As far as he knew, most blood-scaled bears had their own companions, or demon partners. They had a special telepathy, and once one of them was threatened or died, the other would often rush over quickly.

Chu Ci did not warn them immediately, but quietly observed the five people. He wanted to take this opportunity to see how their spiritual consciousness was. After all, being able to control 16 flying swords meant that both spiritual consciousness and spiritual power must be quite strong.

A moment later, Li Yuanzhong was the first to notice something was wrong. His expression changed and he shouted, "Everyone be careful, there's another monster approaching!" His voice was full of nervousness.
