Chương 261: The group's dangerous situation

"They aren't all coming?" Long Feng was startled again. Only beasts below rank six spirit level were charging over. All those at rank six and above were merely watching him with bloodthirsty eyes. He could even sense the gazes of the three peak spirit level beasts on him. But they weren't attacking. A wild beast definitely wouldn't care that it's opponent was too weak for it to attack. A Dao level wild beast wouldn't hesitate to rip a connate realm cultivator to shreds.

"Could they be restricted to a certain distance? After all, these weaker ones only moved once I came closer" Long Feng muttered, watching the over six hundred beasts rushing towards him. This scene made even the scalps of the youths behind him to go numb. Not many of them could stay calm when faced with the charge of hundreds of fierce beasts. In fact, only rank eights could escape alive from this charge.

"Kid, rush in another direction and draw them away! We'll let you go after this!" The rank nine spirit realm warrior shouted loudly. Hearing his words, Long Feng sneered. And then he suddenly shot right towards the approaching beasts, causing them to roar savagely and rush over even faster.

"That bastard! He's moving in a straight line!" The rank eight spirit youth who 'saved' Long Feng shouted with gritted teeth. The leader stared at Long Feng's back with cold eyes.

"He's dead anyways. Let's go around and attack from the side. One shot!" Even rank eight spirit realm warriors would have a hard time surviving this beast charge without help. A rank one charging at them was simply suicide. The youths promptly heeded the peak spirit realm Youth's words and flew to another side, rushing towards the city gate from a different direction. This way, Long Feng's actions was actually helping them drawing over half of the wild beasts towards himself while leaving the rest to them.

Although the stronger wild beasts remained, the weaker ones being out of the way would make it easier for their group to succeed. Outside, the Yihua clan's Great Elder coincidentally found Long Feng's current situation.

"What's that kid doing? Is he crazy?" His words drew the Misty Mountain Master's attention and he also focused on Long Feng's tiny figure in the sky. His pupils immediately shrank a bit.

"He's charging right at them!"

"He… does he wants to be eliminated?" The Great Elder asked. Even if he was eliminated, he wouldn't be the first. Dozens of geniuses had already been kicked out after getting 'killed' by the wild beasts in the supreme heaven mystic realm. It turned out getting killed by the weaker beasts wouldn't result in true death, just elimination and temporary weakness.

But not a single person of the Yihua continent, a low ranked continent had been eliminated yet in the second round, while many other low ranked continents had been completely eliminated, with all their geniuses out at the elimination round. Even some weaker mid ranked continents were facing this situation. The Yihua continent could be said to have broken a record in a hundred years. Even if Long Feng was eliminated now, it wouldn't cause them to lose face.

"But he can still last longer if he runs around instead of acting so foolishly!" The Great Elder added with a sigh.

"Let's not forget that he's a rank one spirit realm cultivator, one with an unstable foundation at that. I don't know how he survived so long but it's already a miracle." The Misty Mountain's Master replied more cool headedly, his black pupils glimmering. The Yihua clan's Great Elder froze then nodded, suddenly realizing that he had completely overlooked Long Feng's Cultivation. In this entire hundred continent meeting, Long Feng's cultivation was the most pitiful, at the very bottom of the ladder.

Yet he had passed the Dual Sky Mountain Path, the Dao tempering tower and now he hadn't even been eliminated first in the mystic realm.

"Alas! If he had some more time before the hundred continent meeting, he would've shone more." The Great Elder sighed again, this time with remorse.

"Indeed. His talent surpasses when hao'er's. He is barely sixteen. He and that Li Yue'er are among the youngest in this hundred continent meeting, and facing geniuses over twenty years older will naturally put them in a disadvantage." The Misty Mountain's Master added.

"That's right. Reaching the spirit realm at fifteen isn't too surprising, but his combat power must be great for him to reach the fifth floor of the Dao tempering tower." The Great Elder replied calmly now. A case of content theft: this narrative is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

"That Li Yue'er seems more talented to me though. Rank five spirit realm at fifteen years, even Huang Fang Hao wasn't that amazing at her age. Her combat power seems great as well. Overall, she could rank among the most talented here. It's unfortunate that both of them were born too late." The Misty Mountain's Mountain Master shook his head and sighed. Anyone that compared Long Feng and Li Yue'er would have the exact same opinion; Li Yue'er's talent dwarfed Long Feng's own.

Talent was usually measured by the achievement one had at a certain age, the cultivation speed and other notable things. Of course, this was limited to the backwater continent zone. In the Mainland, talent meant more than just that. It was also measured in that way, but that was limited to talent. Some people possessed bloodlines and special constitutions that would remain dormant in their bodies for years if they weren't lucky. Their talents would seem ordinary and even poor.

Some people remained that way for life, never even realizing that they had a bloodline. But once it awakened, they would soar into the heaven at once, shocking the mainland. So they had more advanced methods to test the presence of bloodlines and special constitutions like the Sword Spirit Body. Of course, bloodlines and special constitutions weren't some run down the mill things that could be found casually. They were exceedingly rare and would appear once in a decade or even a century for some more stronger ones.

Like the Sword Spirit Body, which was unique. It only appeared once every hundred years in the mainland, but it's owner was usually unparalleled in their generation. Using the continent zone's method, Li Yue'er's talent would truly seem to be greater than that of Long Feng. But… if it was known that Long Feng had used about a single year to go from being a complete mortal to a spirit realm warrior, even the Mainland would be shaken.

Huang Fang Hao had began cultivating at the age of six and only reached the spirit realm at sixteen. He reached the Imperial realm at twenty and was currently twenty two years old. And that was enough to crown him as the best talent in a few decades. His feat would seem like a joke when compared to Long Feng's one year of cultivation.

"Forget it. If they can get lucky and leave this continent zone, then their future achievements could possibly surpass that of hao'er." The Misty Mountain's Master moved his gaze from Long Feng to Gongsun Hao who had joined another group of over fifty geniuses to attack the Southern City. Long Feng was completely calm as he rushed right into the hundreds of wild beasts, his soul energy focused on the youths that had gone around him.

The exact moment he was drowned by the beasts, the peak spirit realm warrior gave an order"Attack!" They shot out like an arrow with him as the arrow tip, piercing into the core of the beasts surrounding the gate in a few breaths. They moved with great speed, killing dozens of wild beasts as they charged towards the city gate. The powerful beasts roared in rage, their blood red eyes fixed on the group and they began to move.

Only the three peak spirit level beasts stayed in place, their attention also drawn to the group.

"Young master! Thirteen rank eight spirit level beasts are approaching! Five are blocking our path!" One of the three rank eight spirit realm youths screamed out with a pale face. Thirteen rank eight beasts could absolutely face a peak spirit realm warrior and even win if they had good cooperation. The leader also had a serious expression, but if they retreated now, then the beasts would all instantly become stronger and also lose the restriction holding them.

That means, three imperial level beasts would chase their group to the ends of this realm. The mere thought of that sent chills down his spine.

"Keep going! I'll handle the five before us! Keep the others around us at bay!" He roared. He couldn't help but thank their luck as that weak rank one spirit realm kid had drawn hundreds of the weak beasts away temporarily. Although they were rushing back, they wouldn't make it in time. If not, then just the weak wild beasts would whittle their whole group down, and when combined with the strong ones, then even he would be eliminated here.

"That kid was a big useful. I'll find out which continent he came from and give them some compensation for his death." The peak spirit realm youth thought, unaware that weak beasts couldn't kill at all. Perhaps only the Imperial level beasts could forcefully kill someone before they were thrown out of this realm. Five heavy auras of rank eight spirit level beasts pressed down on them and any beasts in the way moved aside, making way for the five maddened wild beasts.

The peak spirit realm Youth's expression was grave as he rushed straight at them, a silver spear in his grasp.

"Endless spear Shadows!" He leaped at the five beasts and flourished his spear, releasing dozens of spear Shadows that pierced through the thick skins of the five beasts. But wild beasts normally had much greater defense and strength than humans of the same level. Just this attack shared by five of them wasn't enough to kill them. The five wild beasts roared in rage and used their bodies to attack the youth, their claws, fangs, tails, and two huge ape fists.

The youth dodged everything with a frown and continued to unleash repeated attacks with his spear that left deep wounds all over the bodies of the five beasts. Although his attacks wouldn't kill them for the time being, he managed to keep pushing them backwards as his group advanced. The others mad a circle and covered their rear, keeping all weaker beasts away. But there was no perfect defense in this world.

Within a few minutes, a rank six spirit realm warrior got hit by a snake tail and was devoured head first by a huge snake without being able to scream. This scene caused everyone's blood to run cold and they all began to panic a bit as they rapidly closed the hole left by the death of the person. But bad luck never came alone. Another few minutes later, two more rank six spirit realm cultivators were killed, one dying miserably to several wolf claws ripping his body into pieces.

"Stay calm! Keep pushing! We're getting closer!" The peak spirit realm youth shouted as he noticed them all looking pale. He had severely injured all five beasts and would soon be able to kill them off one by one. They were also approaching the City gate. The group focused and steeled their hearts, giving it their all to get to the city gate. But five minutes later, another four youths had died. And the final one was an unlucky rank seven spirit realm youth who was stabbed through the heart.

The continuous deaths slowly ate at the hearts of the others, even the rank eight spirit realm youths. They were all full aware that they could also die at any moment if they were not careful enough. And then another three rank eight spirit level beasts rapidly approached with the others also rushing over behind. Even the peak spirit realm youth was now a bit pale on the face..

"We're almost there!" He exclaimed. They were very close to the city gates already. At this moment, the three peak spirit level beasts roared simultaneously, their wild auras completely suppressing the whole place. Even the leader couldn't keep calm again. That was because one of the peak spirit level beast was right across them, standing in their path guarding the city gate!

"Young master! The rank eight beasts are approaching!" Someone exclaimed in a shaky voice. In this short moment, another rank seven spirit realm youth was killed and only two rank six spirit level youths were left alive. Their faces were both filled with terror as they longed to escape from here.

"Hold them off! I'll push this beast aside!" The peak spirit realm youth roared and charged towards the peak spirit level beast. Cold sweat dotted his forehead as he rushed forward. He could sense the other two peak spirit level beasts rushing over as well as the rank eight spirit level beasts. Eight of them too! If they were surrounded by these wild beasts, then their deaths was assured. Not even he would have any chance of making it out in one piece.

Somewhere far back, the hundreds of weaker beasts were also approaching. There was no one left behind them, meaning Long Feng had vanished. But this didn't actually surprise any of the youths that were trying to find a way to survive. That weakling couldn't have possibly survived the attacks of hundreds of wild beasts above his level. There was no even blood that signified he had killed even a single wild beasts before he was probably devoured.

But unknown to them all, a stealthy soul power was watching everything that happened detachedly.

"They'll all fail at this rate. And I still need them to make it out so I can join them without drawing much suspicion" Long Feng thought. He hadn't actually rushed into the midst of the wild beasts. Instead, he had simply used his Nine Firmament Step to silently appear right before the gates. Concealing himself with his soul power from these wild beasts and youths was child's play. He had simply created a concealment formation around himself and stood by the gate behind the peak spirit level beasts, watching.

If the peak spirit realm youth knew this, he would probably spit blood in frustration. But Long Feng couldn't let them die. How would he explain surviving when even a peak spirit realm youth died? Luck? That was an incomplete joke. Long Feng quickly made a decision and unleashed his full soul power. The invincible energy covered the area and surged into the souls of the three peak spirit level beasts as well as the several rank eight spirit level beasts.

Long Feng instantly felt a piercing pain in his head as he attempted to face so many beasts at once. But this wasn't enough to deter him.

"Infinite… Immortal… Soul… Formula!"
