Chapter 136 - The Show Of Power
Demon Beast Territory.
The landscape within the outer area of the demon beast territory was extremely rough. It was filled with numerous trees, mountains, and valleys.
Crossing this mountain range was not an easy task.
However, Ling Chen was truly a brilliant being. After reading the memories of both Bai Chang and Bai He, he had learned all the paths within the mountain range.
Under his leadership, they had traveled more than a hundred of miles in just a few hours and had officially entered the inner area of the demon beast territory.
As they ventured within the inner area of the demon beast territory, the demon beasts' level has become much stronger than previously.
Within the inner area, they would occasionally encounter mid-level demon king beasts and some peak level demon King beasts.
Of course, this level of strength could just be considered strong for normal people. For someone like Ling Chen and the others, they were still too weak.
Right now, Ling Chen had the strength of a 3rd tribulation Martial Saint while Ling Lei had the strength similar to that of a Martial Venerable, and Fang Lan had just broken through the Martial Emperor realm as well.
The five little devils could be considered as peak Martial King realm warrior. This powerful combination allowed them to walk through the outer area of the demon beast territory into the inner area like it was their own backyard.
They could have made it to the inner area a long time ago, however, Ling Chen's purpose was to train the five little devils and raise their strength before they arrived at the Saint Tiger Demon Beast Clan. As such, they took longer than expected.
As they continued making their way into the deeper part of the demon beast territory, Ling Chen suddenly halted his footsteps.
At the same time, his mouth curved upward, revealing a cold smile.
"Well, it seems like we gonna have some company."
"Rustle, rustle."
With his spiritual sense, Ling Chen had already discovered various powerfully built Windwolves rushing out from the mountain forest towards their direction at an extremely fast speed.
"Roar ~~~"
The great roars of the wolves resounded continuously. Various Windwolves rushed out from the mountain forest unceasingly. In only a short while, Ling Chen and the others were already surrounded by more than a hundred Windwolves.
The rustling sounds increased and more and more Windwolves continued to show up.
Windwolves were demon beast that traveled in a pack. They're very brutal and aggressive. Unless the leader of the pack was killed, they would become even more bloodthirsty as the fight went on.
Soon, Ling Chen and his group were surrounded by more than four hundred Windwolves and there were still new ones rushing out from the forest.
These wolves were more than just a simple pack. Their claws were like swords, fangs like sabers, and with firm and resolute furs, they were extremely hard to injure. Also, their speed was extremely fast.
Moreover, even the weakest among them was at the Demon Lord level while the strongest were three initial Demon Emperors or 7th rank demon beasts.
The three leading Windwolves stared at Ling Chen and the others with their cold eyes, a murderous intent emanating from them. Their cruel white fangs gleamed with a cold light
Surrounded by the hundreds of Windwolves, Ling Chen was still calm as he ordered. " Ling Wei, Ling Zheng, Ling Shen, Ling Rui, and Ling Bing, this is your first test. You have less than an hour to get rid of all of them."
"We won't disappoint you, father." They simultaneously answered with a confident look on their faces upon hearing Ling Chen's order. At the same time, they formed a circle around Ling Chen, Fang Lan, and Ling Lei. It was as though they were protecting them from the Windwolves.
"Filthy beastmen, how dare you intrude our Wolf's domain?"
While Ling Wei and the others were getting ready to face the hundred of Windwolves, they suddenly heard a cold and disdainful voice rang out within their mind. It wasn't just them, even Ling Chen heard that voice as well.
Hearing the words of the 7th rank demon beast, Ling Chen was surprised. Not because the 7th rank demon beast was able to talk to them telepathically as it wasn't something unusual, but because he referred to Ling Wei and the others as beastmen.
Ling Chen had long heard about beastmen, they were a group of people that were born from the union of humans and demon beasts. After a demon beast has broken through the 8th rank, it was capable of taking human form.
As such it wasn't impossible for them to mate with humans. However, it was very rare. Beastmen are usually found in the Heaven Suppression Region or the Divine Demon Beast Region.
Furthermore, because they weren't human or demon beast, they were the subject of discrimination. Whether it was human or demon beast, they all viewed them as inferior hybrids.
And now, because of Ling Zheng and the others' pair of horns and pointy ears, this 7th rank demon beast mistook them for Beastmen instead of something else.
"You lowly beast, how dare you compare us to some lower life form like yourself." Angrily answered Ling Wei with insane killing intent in his eyes. It seemed to be very displeased being called a beastman.
Not only him, from the look of the others. One could tell they felt the same way as well. Even the quiet Ling Lei's face wrinkle a little when he heard the 7th rank Demon beast called them beastmen.
"You all deserve to die for your disgusting remarks."
A murderous gaze flashing through Ling Wei's eyes, as he stared at those hundred of wolves as though they were just corpses.
Bang!
Having said that, Ling Wei suddenly stopped his right foot on the ground.
"Crack!" "Crack!" "Crack!" "Crack!"
Suddenly, the earth trembled, Dozens of Earth Spikes had erupted simultaneously from beneath the group of wolves, each Earth spike was over a meter high.
"Awoo!"
A shrill howl came from the wind wolves as one gleaming earth spike after another pierced through their stomachs like skewers, filling the ground with fresh blood.
In just a short moment, more than fifty wind-wolves were pierced through by the dense array of earth spikes, which had caught them unaware, like a devastating ambush.
"Rawr…" Smelling the fresh blood as well as witnessing how their brethren was instantly killed by that beastman, the Windwolves became angry.
At the same time, more than a hundred of them surged over at the same time, attacking from all four directions.
"It seems like you lowly beasts still haven't understood your situation yet."
Ling Wei uttered a long roar as he pounced towards the incoming wolves. His massive muscular body was like a small mountain as he shuttled amongst the wolves with incredible speed.
He didn't use any weapon, with his bare hand. He started to pound the windwolves.
"Poof–" Each punch equated to one dead wolf. Ling Wei was like a wolf in a herd of sheep.
Ling Wei rampaged amidst the wolves and killed them in the most vivid manner. Not long after, there were mountains of corpses while blood flowed like the rivers. The stench of the blood pierced the nose, causing a nauseous feeling.
Meanwhile, as some of the demon wolves pounced toward Ling Shen, only the sight of a huge tornado advancing towards them could be seen. Inside this tornado, there were many wind blades flying around.
"Pooof!"
Once they were caught in that tornado of wind blades, not even their complete corpses were left behind.
Ling Bing wasn't playing either. Her entire body was surrounded by threads of white mist that condensed and turned into numerous ice shards that flew towards the Windwolves like bullets, killing them on the spot.
As for Ling Zheng, he wasn't falling behind either. A dark light lit up underneath his feet and spread towards the wind wolves.
In this instant, the attacking wolves that were as fast as lighting suddenly became slower than a snail.
"Crack!"
It wasn't only their speed that was hindered, their bodies seemed to be pressed down by an invisible pressure as they began to fall on the ground, and howled in pain.
"Bam!" It seemed that the world's heaviest object was crashing down on them like a planet looming over their heads. In the next second, their entire bodies shattered. With more cracking noises, their whole beings were completely crushed.
Only a pool of smashed flesh and fresh blood quietly flowing on the ground was left. Over a short amount of time, they had killed so many Windwolves that they had lost count.
The only one who didn't make move amongst them was Ling Rui, not because she didn't want too but because none of the Windwolves were able to make it near her as they were all killed by his brute 4th brother Ling Wei.
"Well, while you guys are busy killing those weaklings, let me take care of these three little kitties over there." Ling Rui said with a wicked smile on her face as she was looking at the three 7th rank demon beasts in the back.
