Chapter 1431: Thousand Crane Sect

“Damn it, why did a Fierce Beast suddenly appear.”

“Didn’t we just confirm there were no signs of Fierce Beasts.”

The senior brother frowned upon hearing this.

Everyone immediately focused their attention ahead.

This Fierce Beast was like a bull with a tiger’s body, fangs protruding outward.

It exuded a fierce aura all over, clearly not a friendly creature.

“Be careful, it’s coming straight for us.”

Another person reminded everyone sternly.

“Roar!”

Just at that moment, the Fierce Beast charged forward.

“Defend!”

The senior brother immediately drew his Profound Sword and commanded.

“Yes!”

“…”

The other brothers responded one after another.

Then they began to set up an array.

Each of them utilized their best skills, preparing to confront the Fierce Beast head-on.

“Swish!”

However, they had overestimated their strength.

The Fierce Beast shattered their array’s light shield with just a swipe of its claw.

Simultaneously, its tail, like a steel whip, swung towards one of them.

“Ah!”

That person let out a scream, instantly turning into a mist of blood.

Amidst the scent of blood in the void, even his Magical Treasure and clothes were pulverized into dust.

“Swish!”

After his death, two other disciples attacked.

One from the front and one from the back, ready to deal with the Fierce Beast.

However, they still overestimated their strength.

As they charged, the Fierce Beast struck suddenly.

Its fur stood on end, like countless steel needles, piercing into the two.

“Puff!”

Initially, there was no change upon the needle’s penetration.

However, after a few breaths, their bodies exploded instantly.

Like a balloon being inflated, they burst in no time.

Turning into a blood mist, permeating the void.

“This… it’s truly a Demon Beast.”

The senior brother said in disbelief at the Fierce Beast before him, “Retreat, it’s too strong.”

“Retreat.”

The female disciple also called out, urging everyone to leave together.

After their exchange, the remaining disciples all began to retreat.

“Roar!”

However, the Fierce Beast gave them no chance to escape.

In just the blink of an eye, it caught up.

With its jaws wide open, it swallowed the last disciple in one gulp.

“No, if this continues, we’ll all be killed!”

The senior brother glanced back and said solemnly.

“Someone must stay to hold it off!”

The junior sister also suggested.

“Junior sister, you stay to hold it off. I’ll go back for reinforcements.”

The senior brother said flatly.

His tone didn’t allow for negotiation; it was more of an order.

“Senior brother, you have the highest strength; shouldn’t you be the one to hold it off?”

The junior sister disagreed instantly.

Her eyes were filled with disdain.

She hadn’t expected her senior brother to abandon them at this crucial moment.

“Ah!”

As they argued, another disciple was killed.

“If we delay any longer, we won’t have a chance!”

“Don’t be afraid, the senior brother will get reinforcements, just hold on a bit longer.”

The senior brother, seeing they were about to be caught, suddenly sped up.

He completely ignored their pleas.

“Senior sister, what do we do.”

“…”

The remaining disciples looked to the woman for leadership.

Since she was the strongest among them, in both power and rank.

“Since we can’t escape, let’s fight to the death.”

Seeing that the senior brother had left, the woman no longer held hope.

With determination in her eyes, she said firmly.

“The senior brother is despicable, he urged us to come and then ran away!”

“Damn, we’re doomed; we haven’t even encountered the Demon Race, and we’re dying here.”

“…”

The other disciples showed signs of despair.

They never imagined their seemingly righteous senior brother would abandon them when trouble arose.

“Roar!”

At this moment, the Fierce Beast charged once more.

“Let’s fight!”

“…”

They realized they couldn’t escape, all showing a look of determination.

Rushing toward the Fierce Beast.

However, it was like ants trying to stop a cart.

The Fierce Beast devoured two of them in an instant.

Giving it no chance to get hurt.

“Huff!”

The girl took a deep breath, gripping the Profound Sword tightly, preparing for one last desperate struggle.

Ning Qi observed their plight from behind.

Yet, he didn’t rush to intervene.

“Master, if we don’t act, they’ll all be killed.”

Medicine Spirit was anxious and hurriedly reminded.

“Hmm, it’s time.”

Ning Qi nodded, ready to take action.

“Master, why wait until now?”

Medicine Spirit suddenly asked curiously.

“Why, of course, to let some of them die.”

“Only when it’s chaotic enough can I deceive them.”

Ning Qi smiled and continued, “Otherwise, my identity would be exposed.”

“Master, won’t we lack an Immortal Race identity if they ask later?”

Medicine Spirit asked, gesturing.

“It’s fine; we’ll just go with them.”

“Whatever their identity is, ours will be as well.”

Ning Qi grinned, “I saved their lives, making them see me as one of their own shouldn’t be too hard.”

“Master, what if they don’t agree?”

Medicine Spirit asked again.

“They won’t, I have the power to slay this beast, why would they reject a master like me?”
