The sky was pitch dark at dawn.
The rain was increasing, the heavy downpour sweeping away the winter chill, filling the air and the earth with its coldness.
The bear monster, snow leopard monster, monkey monster and rhinoceros monster stood still in the rain, looking at the young Daoist who approached them.
Xie Ziran, floating in the air, pointed with his hand, and a dot of white light bloomed from his finger tip, transforming into a semicircular "energy shield" resembling an inverted wok, covering an area of about a few miles around.
Clearly, she did not want to cause too much damage because of the battle between Chen Yun and the four monsters.
The power is already quite substantial for a medium-level mage.
If there were no protective measures and Chen Yun were to fight the four monsters without restraint, it is likely that, by the time the battle ended, a large area would be left in ruins.
Gong Jù Jí still stood under the rock wall, watching the battlefield earnestly with a serious expression on his face.
Though he doesn't think Chen Yun has the ability to defeat the four brothers fighting together, there's no harm in being prepared. If Chen Yun somehow wins?
By then, Gong Jù Jí would certainly have to think about using "just the right amount of strength" so as not to injure Zhong Li Quan's accomplished disciple.
It doesn't act like the four brothers who are brainless, but has always been trying to curry favor with the authentic Taoist School in order to find a patron.
Of course, it doesn't want to harm Chen Yun. It's thinking about how to give enough face to the opponent in the battle, while also demonstrating its own value.
As Gong Jù Jí pondered in silence, the voices of various monsters echoed from the battlefield.
The monkey monster introduced himself, "Chen Xian Chang, I know your power is profound. Any of us four monsters fighting alone is not your opponent. However, when we work together as a team, our power multiplies. Please be careful. I am more flexible than the others, and I might be the main force in our fight against you later. If I accidentally hurt you, please forgive me."
The rhinoceros monster added, "My skin is thick and my flesh is tough. I will shield them."
The snow leopard monster also said, "My movements are as swift as lightning and the speed of a flash of fire, I am the one who will make the second attack."
The bear monster said, "I have strong muscles, so I will be responsible for holding you later."
Chen Yun of course knew why these monsters were so voluntarily revealing their advantages.
It's just that they know their own identities and are afraid that they might not be able to handle the battle and end up "losing face."
He smiled and said, "Thank you, everyone. I will be more careful."
After speaking, the four monsters didn't say anything else.
The four monsters surrounded Chen Yun, forming a coordinated attack.
Because the enemy has more people, Chen Yun cannot initiate an attack.
This kind of action is easy to reveal weaknesses, and Chen Yun might be attacked by the other three monsters.
As he was thinking, the snow leopard monster vanished abruptly and slipped into high-speed movement.
The bear monster let out a loud roar and smashed its huge paws towards Chen Yun.
Chen Yun, in order to activate Dao Qi, did not use his spiritual insight or True Qi, but instead relied solely on the physical strength of his body to confront the attack.
He saw the bear monster coming with a strike that could split mountains and crack stones, and he hurriedly dodged to avoid the attack.
Bang!
The bear monster had missed its target and hit the ground. The impact caused an explosion of dirt and rocks.
Chen Yun managed to dodge, but before he could react, a sharp sound of air being cut echoed behind him.
Immediately, he turned his head and saw an extremely sharp claw that was drawing close to himself, it was the snow leopard monster who had just disappeared.
In a hurry, Chen Yun had no time to dodge and was hit by the snow leopard's claw in the chest.
Rip!
The robe was instantly torn apart by the blast and spread outwards.
However, as it happened, there was a "clang" sound and sparks flew as metal collided.
It turned out that Chen Yun had a tough and resilient body, ignoring the snow leopard's claw attack.
Chen Yun took advantage of the opportunity to counterattack with the "Gold" script.
Little did he know that a thunderous roar suddenly rang in his ears, and then a dark shadow pounced on him.
He didn't even see it coming; a huge force struck his chest, and his body was thrown backwards!
This force was fierce, and although it couldn't break through Chen Yun's defense, it still threw him flying out and unable to control his body.
Chen Yun was trying to stabilize his body.
Below, a massive figure, resembling a tank, charged toward him with an imposing aura!
Bang!
Chen Yun felt something hard and extremely sharp hit his waist.
Even with his tough and resilient body, he was pierced by the immense force, a streak of pain spreading from his waist.
He crashed heavily into the "protection barrier" released by Xie Ziran, and then landed heavily on the ground, causing a cloud of mud and water to rise.
The Gong Jù Jí standing at the foot of the rock wall couldn't help but frown. As a high-level mage with extraordinary power, he had watched the scene of four monsters attacking Chen Yun very clearly. The four monsters only needed to cooperate simply and they had already beaten Chen Yun to an extent that he couldn't retaliate. It was thanks to Chen Yun's iron skin and bones that he managed to withstand the attack. Otherwise, any other practitioner might have been impaled by the rhinoceros monster's horn!
It seems difficult to challenge it after even the four monsters couldn't withstand one round of attack together.
What's more troubling Gong Jù Jí is that Chen Yun is too "weak." If he really challenges it later, he's afraid he might accidentally punch the opponent so hard that he dies.
Perhaps it was because he saw Chen Yun knocked over to the ground.
The four monsters stood in the four corners and didn't continue to launch attacks.
Chen Yun struggled to get up from the ground, took a deep breath, and realized that his own physical strength alone was indeed insufficient to deal with the four monsters attacking together.
At this moment, Xie Ziran, who was floating in the air, suddenly said, "Use your full strength."
Chen Yun looked up and asked, "Can I use True Qi and Spiritual Insight?"
Xie Ziran nodded and said, "Sure."
Chen Yun smiled, "Alright, if I can use True Qi and Spiritual Insight, it'll be easier to deal with them."
Upon hearing this, Gong Jù Jí was startled. Has the Chen Xian Chang not used his full strength yet?
It couldn't help but become interested and wanted to see how strong Chen Yun's full strength could be.
The monkey monster took the opportunity to ask, "Chen Xian Chang, shall we continue?"
Chen Yun activated True Qi and Spiritual Insight, and shouted with full force, "Come on!"
Just as the words were spoken, the bear monster opened its mouth and spat out a stream of demonic qi.
Chen Yun used the Wind Control technique to levitate and dodge instantly.
Bang! A huge sound, and a big pit appeared on the ground.
Mud, gravel, murky water were all driven up into the air, resembling a landslide and heavy rain, completely blocking the view.
Meanwhile, the snow leopard monster, with its exceptional speed, had silently slipped through layers of mud, gravel, and murky water to reach behind Chen Yun. It wanted to imitate the first round of attack to give the monkey monster more space for offense.
If Chen Yun hadn't activated his spiritual insight, he would have had to defend himself like that before. But now that he had activated it, he could easily capture the snow leopard monster's actions.
In an instant, the Dream Enshrouding technique was unleashed.
The snow leopard monster felt a golden-armed deity suddenly appearing before his eyes, with a huge hand like a millstone reaching out to grasp him!
This action frightened the snow leopard monster very much. He immediately twisted his body in mid-air to avoid, but found that there was nothing in front of him.
However, this avoidance move actually made it lose the opportunity to attack, and it also suffered a counter-attack.
Chen Yun's left hand drew back, and a lightning bolt as thick as a bowl gushed and erupted.
The "Golden" character of Palm Thunder combined with the "Dragon Slaying" technique formed a serpent of electricity, and hit towards the snow leopard monster.
At this time, the monkey monster who had launched the third wave of attack was already in front of him. It let out a stream of demonic qi from its claws, causing the air around it to twist and contort with a fierce heat, as it fiercely grabbed towards Chen Yun's face!
Chen Yun remained unfazed, despite using the Palm Thunder technique with his left hand, he used the "Water" character for his right palm to generate a "Void Hand Seal".
The rhinoceros monster swung its horns, which were as hard as steel, and charged towards Chen Yun abruptly.
In mid-air, Chen Yun adopted the "Earth" character for his feet and stood firmly like a mountain, instantly clamping the rhinoceros's horns.
All this seemed complicated, but it happened in a flash.
Soon, the Palm Thunder hit the ground just above the snow leopard monster's head, making a loud "boom" sound. The ground was instantly blown up, and countless broken stones were turned into fine powder by the thunderous force. The mud and water were also evaporated suddenly, forming a layer of white mist that filled the "protection barrier".
At the same time, the "Void Hand Seal" also met the intense demonic qi released by the monkey monster's claws.
Bang!
Two forces collided, creating a wave like an eighth-level typhoon, which spread outwards.
The monkey monster thought that the two forces were balanced, preparing to retreat and launch the second wave of attack.
But before it could take any action, a second "Void Hand Seal," as large as a round dining table, suddenly appeared and struck it with great force.
And this wasn't over yet. The third, fourth, and fifth "Void Hand Seal" followed one after another, unleashing a total of nine waves.
The monkey monster didn't have time to dodge, and he took eight blows in succession.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of thunderous sounds, like metal clashing, resounded within the "protection barrier"!
Gong Jù Jí watched clearly as the monkey monster was pounded from the sky to the ground, then struck by one after another invisible "Void Hand Seal" deep into the ground!
Against four enemies, he defeated the snow leopard monster, clamped the rhinoceros's horn, and left the monkey monster with no chance to counterattack.
Chen Yun's performance surprised Gong Jù Jí greatly!
It hadn't occurred to it that Chen Yun, being merely a medium-level physiques cultivator, could unleash such fierce and powerful force after using True Qi and spiritual insight.
Xie Ziran nodded slightly, she naturally understood that normally, Chen Yun couldn't withstand the four-headed monster's attack, even if he uses True Qi and spiritual insight with all his might. Now, why he can withstand the four-headed monster's attack and even slightly hold the upper hand is completely because of the "body technique" he performs. It combines True Qi, spiritual insight, and physical power seamlessly and all at once, making the four-headed monster unable to react.
"What powerful body art."
Even Xie Ziran, who has reached the level of deification, was taken aback by the Dragon Slaying technique, which can be imagined as miraculous.
Although Chen Yun easily dispatched the four-headed monster's attack, the bear monster, snow leopard monster, and rhinoceros monster looked on menacingly and didn't relent. They immediately launched another attack.
The snow leopard monster roared and "meow"ed. A series of circular sound waves mixed with demonic qi surged towards Chen Yun.
The bear monster standing below roared as well, and its whole body burst into light, transforming into a pillar of light that shot straight towards the sky, differing greatly from the previous release of demonic qi!
The rhinoceros monster first broke free from Chen Yun's bindings, then spat out a large group of black qi from its mouth, which was clearly a secret technique that it had kept up until now.
The three strong demonic forces burst out, forcing Chen Yun to defend.
Because of this, the monkey monster that had been suppressed below was able to catch its breath. It erupted with its demonic power, and from the deep pit, there surged out thousands upon thousands of fine lines that shone with intense brilliance, shooting upwards instantly, spreading out to form countless fine threads like stars, intertwining into a large net. The hot gas roared and suddenly drew together, about to ensnare Chen Yun!
Under the full-blown demonic qi of the four monsters, the demonic energy stirred up the climate of heaven and earth.
Suddenly, all the rain evaporated, the weather changed, and the earth shook and mountains trembled!
The four powerful demonic qi have formed a siege, with Chen Yun having nowhere to hide in the center!
Gong Jù Jí watched with seriousness. He wanted to see if Chen Yun could submit a satisfactory answer in such a magnificent attack.
If he can, then it believes Chen Yun has earned the right to challenge.
Xie Ziran was also staring at Chen Yun's every move with her eyes wide open.
She brought Chen Yun here today not for a fight.
Instead, she wanted Chen Yun to harness the battle to successfully ignite the Dao Qi, thus allowing him to manifest his Dao body.
At this moment, with four monsters encircling him, the terrifying demonic qi of the four monsters is the perfect time for Chen Yun to stimulate his Dao Qi and manifest his Dao body!
She was also very eager to see what Dao body Chen Yun would manifest when he stimulated his Dao Qi.
