Chapter Forty-Four: Mutual Destruction

  Du Fei gazed into the air, his face filled with incredulity, shaking his head and sighing: "I didn't think these guys had this move. Heh heh."

  At this time, the five people on the scene were all majestic and intimidating. Even Lie Huo Niao and Jin Zui Bao Lei Ya were shocked by their auras. However, they didn't reach the point of being afraid.

  Li Zhen and several others took the lead in launching an attack. After all, the time for this Four Cardinal Directions Demon Array was limited. They only had ten minutes to hold on. If they hadn't resolved these two birds by then, it would be disastrous. Not only would they disappear from this world, but their students would also lose their lives because of it. The several people in charge decided to take the initiative and attack first, launching martial arts at the surrounded two birds. However, the two birds weren't easy to deal with either. The strength of these mid-to-high-level Yuan beasts was indeed astonishing. Even if the five of them had doubled their strength, they still wouldn't have gained anything from these two birds. Both sides were attacking each other back and forth in the sky, with elemental attacks emerging endlessly. The people watching on the sidelines were dazzled and amazed.

  Li Li Zhen and Yang Sen's combined strength after the big formation is equivalent to a Reverse Sky Five-level, they are dealing with the slightly weaker Lava Bird. The other three people's combined strength after the big formation is also equivalent to a peak Reverse Sky Five-level, and they are currently dealing with the Golden Beak Thunder Crow.

  The fight lasted for about five or six minutes, and both sides showed signs of fatigue under the intense bombardment, hovering in mid-air to confront each other. The situation of the two birds might be a bit worse, after all, Li Zhen's five people had an advantage in terms of numbers.

  "These two beasts, I didn't think it would be so hard to deal with. Damn it, I don't think this will work, and time is running out too. Master Brother, you'd better think of a solution quickly." Li Can was getting anxious.

  "I think we should not split up to deal with the two beasts separately. Let's work together and attack one of them at the same time, solve one first and then it will be easier to handle the other one. What do you think?" Li Zhen said, panting heavily as he looked at Yang Sen who was also covered in sweat.

  "Alright, let's do this. The two of us will defend against the Golden Beak Thunder Crow's attack, and you three can attack that Fire Bird." Yang Sen said as he initiated his martial skill first. The trees on the ground were shrinking at an extremely fast speed, and Yang Sen was continuously absorbing the wood element from nature. Li Zhen saw Yang Sen's actions and also quickly initiated his martial skill, causing the dust on the ground to fly rapidly towards the sky. The other three people also condensed their hand seals without hesitation.

  Two birds saw the five people gathering handprints, felt some danger, and quickly launched elemental attacks. The Golden Beak Thunder Crow shot out a powerful beam of lightning from its mouth, while the Firebird also sprayed a straight line of flames from its beak towards the five people who were about to be hit by the lightning and flames when Li Zhen and Yang Sen's martial arts skills were activated.

  Only a thick layer of stone walls stood in front of everyone, and behind the stone wall was a thick wooden wall tightly attached to the back of the stone wall. The stone wall withstood the fierce attack of two birds, but the extent of the damage was also astonishing. At this time, Li Zhen raised his hands above his head in a pushing gesture, and just as the elemental attack hit the stone wall with a fierce attack, Li Zhen also spat out a mouthful of blood. Everyone watching Li Zhen get hurt was worried to death.

  On the side, Yang Sen, who was in the same posture, cursed loudly: "You bastards, why aren't you attacking the Firebird quickly? If our defense is broken, we'll all die!"

  Everyone who heard Yang Sen's shout was like waking up from a dream. They launched the martial skills they had prepared against the Firebird. The intelligence of the Yuan beast was not high to begin with, and this Firebird was no exception. The three of them quickly unleashed their martial skills at the Firebird, which dodged one attack but was heavily hit by two others. The struck Firebird was now in agony, flapping its wings wildly in mid-air and letting out a mournful cry of "Wuuu".

  Du Fei was shocked to see the flamingos on the big tree, and said: "I didn't expect these guys to have a set of skills, they even know how to attack one bird alone. Now I'm watching two birds, I don't think I can handle these guys."

  "So what if they can't handle those five guys? Those five won't end up well either, their time is limited. In the end, it'll be a mutual destruction. Just you wait and see." The text on the Wordless Heavenly Book changed, Du Fei looked at it again before looking back at the few people in the air.

  At this time, the flamingo was in agony, but several people didn't give the flamingo any chance at all, and launched another martial arts attack on the flamingo. "Boom... boom...", the flamingo was hit again by several people's martial arts, and the heavily injured flamingo seemed to have lost its ability to fly, falling rapidly from the sky.

  The five of them were overjoyed to see the Flamingo being knocked down on their side, but the two fierce attacks on the Flamingo had already consumed most of their energy. It was difficult for them to launch another powerful attack against the Golden Beak Thunder Crow again. The three who attacked the Flamingo retreated back behind the stone wall to avoid the Golden Beak Thunder Crow's counterattack.

  At this time, the Golden Beak Thunder Crow was also violently angry. Seeing that its own Flame Bird had been knocked down by the opponent, it launched a fierce attack on the stone wall, with lightning strikes continuously hitting the stone wall. Li Chen's face was also very pale at this time. Yang Sen saw that Li Chen could not hold on any longer and quickly adjusted his wooden wall to be in front of the stone wall to withstand the lightning strike. However, Yang Sen's situation was not much better than Li Chen's, and soon he too was beaten until blood spurted out.

  "I don't think we have much time left, at most one minute. You must come up with a way to launch a martial skill to attack the Golden Beak Thunder Raven, otherwise once the time is up, all five of us will die." Li Zhen looked weakly at the three people, now he no longer had the strength to launch a martial skill to resist the raven's attack, and could only watch as Yang Sen struggled to block the lightning. The eyes of the three also became somewhat moist, but they nodded their heads, without saying much, and once again formed hand seals. The three simultaneously let out a loud shout, as if mobilizing all the internal energy within their bodies."

  Golden Beak Fierce Thunder Crow saw that the wooden wall was getting thinner and thinner, so he suddenly held his breath, his chest slowly bulging, and a straight lightning bolt shot out of his mouth. The lightning bolt "roared" towards the wooden wall, and at the same time, the three people standing on the wooden wall also launched their martial arts skills, mobilizing all the yuanqi in their bodies to attack Golden Beak Fierce Thunder Crow.

  "Boom, boom, boom..." The deafening explosion shook the ground, and the energy released by the blast created a whirlwind that sent dust flying everywhere. The students in the field were shocked and trembled with fear, some even bursting into tears.

  Under the lightning-fast strike of Jin Wu Bao Lei, Yang Sen's wooden wall was completely shattered. The explosion caused by the lightning shattering the wooden wall also affected the five people, who were falling rapidly at this time. Some calm students saw the five people fall and rushed to catch them. The students surrounded the five people, crying loudly as they looked at their bloody bodies. They shouted desperately: "Teacher! Teacher!" However, no one could determine whether the five people were alive or dead. Jin Wu Bao Lei, who had been heavily hit, fell not far from Huo Lie Niao and his condition was also uncertain, with no one knowing whether he was alive or dead.

  Du Fei, who had already witnessed an earth-shattering battle, was surprisingly calm about the previous fight. This time, Du Fei had orchestrated this great war, and indeed, the situation on both sides was just as the Wordless Heavenly Book had said: two defeats, mutual injury.

  Du Fei became the ultimate winner of this war without any suspense, not only did he effortlessly eliminate those guys who thought they were his own, but also had the opportunity to obtain two precious intermediate yuan beast nuclei. Du Fei came to the front of the two birds with a great mood.

  Two birds are now lying on the ground, also on the verge of death. Du Fei holds a long sword and ruthlessly chops at the two large birds that have lost all consciousness, effortlessly obtaining their cores. Du Fei holds up the cores and says: "Haha, it's as if heaven is helping me! I originally wanted to use these two big guys to scare away those insolent fellows, but instead, I've gained two more cores. Haha!"

  At this time, Du Fei's crazy laughter also reached the ears of many students who were not far away and were in a state of sorrow. Many students heard Du Fei's laughter and rushed over quickly. Seeing Du Fei wearing animal skin clothes, they were shocked and surprised. The students saw that it was Du Fei who had led the giant bird to launch a surprise attack on everyone earlier, and they were furious, surrounding him in a circle.

  Du Fei saw that the students had surrounded him, with about fifteen or sixteen people around him. Their eyes gleamed with a fierce light, but Du Fei looked at them with disdain, exuding an air of fearlessness that startled the students on the scene.

  No one dared to take a step closer to Du Fei. Having lived in the Devil's Mountain Range for two years, Du Fei had experienced all sorts of life and death dangers, his mental fortitude was something that even high-level experts might not be able to match, let alone being intimidated by a group of young whippersnappers who grew up in comfort. Du Fei looked at the crowd with disdain, "What's going on? Are you people thinking of ganging up on someone weaker? Your teachers have been reduced to this state by me, do you think you can surpass your teachers?"

  Everyone who heard what Du Fei said was silent, and they were all intimidated by the calmness and composure he displayed, as well as his unfathomable cultivation.

  Du Fei saw that everyone was silent and looked down, rarely paying attention to the crowd. With a wave of his left hand, he slowly floated off the ground, suspended in mid-air, facing the students on the ground: "If your teacher is not dead, tell him that from now on, pay less attention here, because they have provoked people who can't afford to provoke. If you don't believe it, next time I'll leave as many corpses as there are people."

  Everyone heard Du Fei's cold voice and couldn't help but pause, looking up at the mysterious boy slowly disappearing from their line of sight...
