Chapter 200 Everyone Working Together
Chapter 200 Everyone Working Together
The sky outside Tianjian Mountain was already at dusk, and at this moment the Shadow Stone Wall was showing the scene of the chosen ones surrounding the Earth Demon Bear. The Shadow Stone Wall was surrounded by various disciples from the Four Directions Sword Alliance.
Although the lowest level of cultivation among them was already at the Qi Sea Realm, this did not prevent them from being equally full of anticipation for this final battle.
The Qi Nourishing Realm and the Qi Condensation Realm are two completely different realms. Facing a Great Earth Demon Bear that is a whole realm higher than them, they are looking forward to seeing the new strength and new methods of the Sword Selections that they are already very familiar with.
This battle will be crucial in their selection of talent suitable for their organization. After all, many swordsmen who are very powerful in the Qi Nourishing Realm become just ordinary people when they reach the Qi Condensation Realm, which is something they have to consider.
"Finally, we've seen the leader of the Aoki Society. However, she seems to be just an ordinary girl, and her mask is unremarkable." Everyone couldn't help but feel a little disappointed after seeing Qingyun.
"You guys are judging a book by its cover before you've even seen her true face. Shouldn't her strength be what we care about more than her appearance?" a female disciple immediately retorted.
"It's her actions that have raised everyone's expectations too high. After all, being able to recruit so many experts to her cause, everyone feels that her personal charisma must be even greater," someone tried to explain.
"But I don't think I saw any demons. Shouldn't he be present for a battle like this?"
"It seems like everyone from the Green Wood Society has gathered except for the Evil Ghost. And ever since the Evil Ghost appeared in the fourth Kunyuan Hall, I haven't seen him on the Shadow Stone Wall again. Do you think the leader of the Green Wood Society might have..."
"Your guess makes me think that girl in the blue dress seems a bit scary."
"As expected, none of those qualified to receive a title are kind-hearted. The evil spirit was too arrogant, which is why he suffered this calamity. Otherwise, he should have been able to shine in this battle."
"Where did you see the evil spirit being arrogant? Although his scenes are very exciting, he is basically the only one. Unless he tells others, how many people will know about his deeds?"
I think it's precisely because the evil spirit is certain to shine in this battle that he absolutely cannot be allowed to participate. He's already become too powerful, to the point where the Aoki Society will have no choice but to deal with him.
Upon hearing this, everyone gasped in shock. "The battle for titles is terrifying!"
Amidst the conversation, the battle between the group and the Earth Demon Bear finally began on the battlefield; more accurately, the Earth Demon Bear launched an attack on the group around them.
Suddenly, its black palms exerted force, and a yellow wave of energy swept around, with massive earth-elemental energy surging towards everyone like a giant wave.
A sudden gust of wind arose, and a yellowish-brown dust cloud quickly spread, making it impossible for everyone around to open their eyes or stand steadily.
Sensing the impending attack, the people besieging the Earth Demon Bear scattered and gathered in organized groups of varying sizes.
Almost every group of people had some cultivators who practiced earth-based techniques, and they raised a thick earthen wall to block the rapidly approaching wave of primordial energy.
But this ripple of energy was just the prelude to its attack. With the power of its palms, the Earth Demon Bear suddenly stood up, revealing its chest covered with yellowish-brown scales. The crowd around it looked as tiny as a group of insects in front of the Earth Demon Bear's upright body.
Looking at the tiny crowd around him, the Earth Demon Bear revealed a hint of mockery in its eyes. Then, it suddenly exerted its strength, and its huge paws, along with its body, slammed heavily onto the ground with a whistling sound.
The onlookers heard a deafening bang, followed by towering waves of earth. The ground where the bear's paws struck cracked open with two massive fissures, as if the giant bear had inflicted two gruesome wounds on the earth.
Among the scattered crowd, most people were thrown about by the violent tremors of the ground. More than a dozen swordsmen were unable to dodge in time and were hit head-on by the violent waves of earth, then turned into streaks of white light and disappeared.
The onlookers were all dumbfounded as they watched this scene.
"Is this really an enemy we can defeat?" someone murmured, deeply shaken.
"Impossible! Why would the Sword Alliance send us such a powerful enemy? This is a nightmare!"
Shen Xu frowned as he looked at the scene before him. He knew that the Earth Demon Bear's attack was just to intimidate everyone, and it did not regard the people around it as opponents at all.
"Zuo Chen, what will you do?" Shen Xu looked at the white-clad youth wearing a starry mask in the crowd below.
Seeing this, Qingyun, who was among the Wentian group, looked at the Tianhe Society team led by Bailu. Bailu nodded slightly in response to Qingyun, and then led the Tianhe Society members to approach the Earth Demon Bear at an extremely fast speed.
Seeing that several insects still dared to approach it, the Earth Demon Bear let out a deafening roar. The roar shook the air, and invisible air ripples rushed towards the Tianhe Society members. In an instant, most of the Tianhe Society's swordsmen were knocked to the ground by this beastly roar that seemed to shatter their eardrums, unable to get up again.
However, Bai Lu still led Wen Han and the others to a place close enough to the Earth Demon Bear. The water magic of the group was activated at the same time, and thick white mist began to gradually approach the Earth Demon Bear, trying to block its vision.
The Earth Demon Bear knew that the fog was definitely not good for him, so he immediately moved his body to avoid the thick fog that was about to reach his head.
Given the size and weight of the Earth Demon Bear, almost every step it took caused a significant tremor in the ground around Bailu, nearly causing them to lose their balance.
At this moment, the members of the Aoki Society immediately activated the vine seeds that had been buried under the Earth Demon Bear beforehand. Thick vines quickly stretched out from the ground and tightly wrapped around the Earth Demon Bear's limbs, quickly stopping the Earth Demon Bear in place and rendering it unable to move.
Bai Lu knew that the vines on the ground couldn't hold the Earth Demon Bear for long. This was their only chance. If they didn't do this step well, all the following steps would be disrupted.
To ensure the success of the entire operation, Bai Lu gritted her teeth and chose to move a little closer to the Earth Demon Bear, which meant she was now within its attack range.
"Shen Xu, you bastard!" Bai Lu cursed Shen Xu in her heart. He was not here for such an important battle. If that guy had been here, he would have finished by now. Why would she have to take the risk?
As Bai Lu drew closer to the Earth Demon Bear, the distance barrier lifted, and she became increasingly adept at manipulating the mist. The thick mist gradually enveloped the Earth Demon Bear's head completely, but this was far from enough. She had to ensure that her mist constantly covered the Earth Demon Bear's head in order to create favorable conditions for the alliance's subsequent attacks.
Feeling its limbs restrained and its vision obscured by the mist, the Earth Demon Bear instantly flew into a rage. The muscles in its limbs suddenly exerted force, and a series of loud cracking sounds resounded in everyone's ears. The thick vines that were wrapped around its limbs began to snap one by one.
