Chapter 21: The Lion-Tiger Beast

  9th place! Too powerful! With the support of brothers and sisters, I actually rushed to 9th place. However, the ones behind are catching up tightly, I don't want to be overtaken, everyone help out! There's still one more chapter today, don't leave!

  Xu Ziyuan was astonished to see that the people in her family didn't even understand the situation with the monsters outside the city, yet they dared to rush out. Xu Qingshuang, standing beside her, saw Xu Ziyuan's astonished expression and smiled lightly, saying:

  "Ziyan sister, you've just arrived in Zhongdu City. The clan leader and Jiubao have been fighting for a lifetime, and since they've started arguing, neither of them will back down. They both went out, so how can their disciples retreat? Moreover, we can't see the situation outside the city clearly. The clan leader and Jiubao are high-ranking masters in the foundation-building period, how could they not see the situation clearly? And yet, they rashly launched an attack?"

  Xu Ziyuan listened to Xu Qingshuai's words and thought that her current realm might not be able to understand the actions of those powerful people. She thought that Xu Haoran, as the head of the clan and with a cultivation base at the third layer of the foundation-building stage, must have some extraordinary abilities, and being able to fly on his sword, even if he couldn't defeat those demonic beasts, it was unlikely that he would be in any danger. With this thought, she slightly put her mind at ease, after all, Xu Ziyuan had already taken a stand on the side of the clan head, so it was inevitable that she would worry about him.

  Outside the city, various magical spells and people's shouts mixed with the roars of demonic beasts. The disciples on the city wall who were below the sixth layer of Qi Refining all looked out at the outside with tension.

  Xu Haoran and Xu Hao-liang rushed out of the city and led their respective disciples in two different directions, charging towards the demonic beasts.

  Xu Haoran stood upright in mid-air, letting out a loud shout:

  "Go!"

  The flying sword under his feet suddenly shot out, instantly piercing the skull of a demon beast, bursting into a blood flower. The flying sword spun and shot towards another demon beast, the demon beast behind it crashed down, leaving only a mournful cry.

  Xu Hao also refused to show weakness, and the flying sword under his feet shot out simultaneously, instantly blasting the skull of a demon beast, shooting towards another demon beast.

  Those disciples were still in the Refining Qi realm and couldn't fly through the air, so they descended on their swords and charged towards the demon beast with their treasured swords.

  Xu Haoran was extremely bold, his flying sword flashing back and forth, countless demonic beasts falling to the ground dead. Moreover, Xu Haoran's disciples were originally more numerous than Xu Hao's, so soon Xu Haoran's side began to slaughter the demonic beasts.

  Xu Haoliang was anxious as he watched from mid-air, if in this operation to slaughter the demon beasts, he was pulled by Xu Haoran with a gap that was too big, what face would he have left to compete with Xu Haoran in the future. At this time, he couldn't care about his demeanor either, and loudly shouted at the disciples on his side below:

  "Kill me thoroughly, retreat one step and die! More killing of monsters will be rewarded!"

  Xu Haoliang's cultivation was originally not much worse than Xu Haoran's. This time he went all out, and the demon beast below suffered a disaster.

  The disciples below saw Xu Haoran get angry, and had to shout out loud, charging towards the beast group. The heavy snow was flying all over the sky, the night was dark and the road was slippery, the accumulated snow was very thick. The disciples charged like this, completely losing their formation, becoming a single soldier fighting alone.

  Xu Haoran's gaze swept back and forth among the demon beasts, as the leader of his clan, he naturally knew the principle of "catching the thief first catches the king". He was looking for the king among these thousands of demon beasts.

  In the midst of the demonic beasts, a lion-headed tiger-bodied beast was letting out different roars. Under its guidance, over a thousand demonic beasts were fiercely counterattacking. Soon, disciples from the Xu family began to fall.

  This is the Lion Tiger Beast, obviously the leader of these thousands of demonic beasts. Its position needs to be closer to Xu Haoran. As the Lion Tiger Beast commands the demonic beasts to attack the Xu family disciples, its gaze focuses on Xu Haoran's body in mid-air. Who let Xu Haoran get close to the Lion Tiger Beast? The Lion Tiger Beast raises its head and stares at Xu Haoran in front of it, completely unaware of Xu Haoran behind it.

  It didn't notice Xu Haoran, but that doesn't mean Xu Haoran hadn't noticed it. At this moment, the Lion Tiger Beast was ferociously raising its head, waiting for Xu Haoran, and stirring up its chest and abdomen, wanting to find an opportunity to shoot out its inner elixir and launch a sneak attack on Xu Haoran.

  At this time, the snow was falling all over the sky. Xu Haoran wore a black robe and merged with the night color, as if he was hidden in one night. Until he rushed to the upper side of the lion tiger beast, the lion tiger beast felt a threatening breath coming towards itself.

  The Lion Tiger Beast was unprepared, but Xu Haoran had deliberately launched a surprise attack. The Lion Tiger Beast suddenly turned its head, staring wide-eyed in shock, and saw a blurry figure rushing towards it from the night sky, with a flash of sword light suddenly enlarging in its eyes. Before the Lion Tiger Beast could even react, that flash of sword light had already pierced through its brow.

  Watching the Lion Tiger Beast fall to the ground, Xu Haoran pondered that the Lion Tiger Beast should be a fourth-level demon beast. He had originally thought of letting his disciples dissect the Lion Tiger Beast to see if it had an inner elixir. However, seeing Old Ninth rushing towards him from afar, he was also worried that Old Ninth would take action and snatch the inner elixir first. It's worth knowing that a fourth-level demon beast's inner elixir is extremely precious for cultivators. When used to refine medicine, it can greatly enhance the cultivator's realm, especially when they're at a bottleneck, it plays a crucial role.

  Then, Xu Haoran rushed to the corpse of the Lion Tiger Beast, with his sword pointing at it, and the treasure sword in the air split open the abdomen of the Lion Tiger Beast. He reached out and beckoned, and indeed an inner elixir flew out from the abdomen of the Lion Tiger Beast and fell into Xu Haoran's hand.

  Xu Haoran's face stiffened as he stored the inner elixir in his storage bag. At that moment, a black snake over a foot long suddenly shot up from the ground and bit down on Xu Haoran's ankle like a black lightning bolt in the night sky.

  Xu Haoran drew his treasured sword, and in an instant the small black snake was cut into several segments. Xu Haoran laughed loudly and turned to kill the remaining demon beasts, leaving Xu Hao standing stunned and vacant in mid-air.

  The lion-tiger beast died, and the other demon beasts lost their leader. They immediately fell into chaos. The disciples of the Xu family quickly gained an absolute advantage, while Xu Haoran obtained a fourth-grade demon pill and, in high spirits, consecutively struck down over ten demon beasts with his sword.

  Xu Hao Liang stood frozen in mid-air, watching as Xu Hao Ran unleashed his divine might. With a fierce growl, he vented all his anger on the demonic beast's body. The flying sword moved swiftly like a ray of light, and wherever it flashed, the demonic beasts fell one after another.

  The monster began to retreat and ran back with its life. Xu Haoran burst out laughing and shouted: "All disciples, listen up! Chase after it for me!"

  Under Xu Haoran's leadership, nearly two thousand people from the Xu family thundered after the fleeing demon beast.

  An hour later, except for the escaped monster, all were killed by the disciples of the Xu family. Everyone lifted and carried, and walked towards the city gate. At this time, the guards at the city gate had already opened the gate, and the common people also knew that the Xu family had won a victory in the north of the city, and they crowded on both sides of the road, cheering excitedly.

  However, Xu Haoran in mid-air slightly furrowed his brow.
