Chapter 2278: Five Demon Beasts

Chapter 2278: Chapter 2278: Five Demon Beasts

Engulfed in dense Demonic Qi.

The three maintained a silent understanding.

Everywhere was silent, only the faint sounds of the three walking.

This situation persisted for two full hours.

However, so much time had passed.

The surrounding environment hardly changed.

Even the concentration of this Demonic Qi showed no anomaly, and the previously glimpsed Flying Waterfall outside was nowhere to be seen.

Zhou Yu remained calm throughout the journey.

But Yu Ruo had started to feel anxious.

She seemed to sense something was wrong.

She frequently glanced towards Yue Shan.

Yue Shan’s face also gradually became serious.

Simultaneously, he took out a lantern-like Magic Treasure.

A shadow inside kept flickering incessantly.

Like a trapped glowing insect inside.

Suddenly, a sharp screech pierced the deathly silent surroundings.

Zhou Yu furrowed his brow, swiftly determining the direction it came from — behind them.

Instantly, he looked towards the rear.

While Zhou Yu investigated thoroughly.

Suddenly, the shadow inside Yue Shan’s lantern began to fly wildly, emitting urgent cries.

"Something is amiss."

"There’s trouble!"

Yue Shan’s face changed drastically.

He immediately turned to Zhou Yu.

"Senior Zhou, a formidable Demon Beast is approaching us."

Zhou Yu remained calm, simply saying softly:

"Understood."

"Stay close to Yu Ruo."

"I’ll handle it."

Upon finishing, Zhou Yu flicked his ten fingers, unleashing streams of Power Of Thunder.

The Power Of Thunder formed a massive Array in front of Zhou Yu, then vanished.

This was the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Array.

The Heavenly Punishment Thunder Array was now considered one of Zhou Yu’s trump cards.

Under ordinary circumstances, Zhou Yu wouldn’t resort to using this Array.

But this time, he deployed it immediately, highlighting the gravitas of the abruptly appearing Demon Beast.

At this moment, hiding behind Zhou Yu, Yue Shan and Yu Ruo also witnessed this scene.

Their eyes simultaneously revealed a look of shock.

"Thunder Formation!"

It was their first time witnessing someone command the Power Of Thunder to such a degree, forming an Array from thin air.

After brief astonishment, the fear in their eyes diminished significantly.

The Thunder Formation’s power gave them enormous confidence.

Just after Zhou Yu finished setting up the Heavenly Punishment Thunder Array.

Suddenly, several "sssss" sounds echoed.

These sounds were bizarre.

Initially, akin to leaves brushing.

Very faint!

Yet when you listened closely.

The faint sound suddenly amplified without warning.

In an instant, even Zhou Yu felt dizzy.

Even his Sea of Consciousness trembled slightly.

But at this moment, the Heavenly Punishment Divine Thunder within him roared.

In a flash, Zhou Yu regained clarity.

His expression subtly changed.

A potent Sound Wave attack.

Immediately, Zhou Yu turned back.

He saw Yue Shan and Yu Ruo each undergoing different situations.

Yue Shan swayed, eyes full of confusion.

Like he was intoxicated.

While Yu Ruo, the numerous Mirror Magic Treasures on her suddenly emitted several Spiritual Lights.

These Spiritual Lights enveloped her, the Sound Waves seemingly not affecting Yu Ruo at all.

Clearly, despite Yu Ruo’s lowest Cultivation, she was the most prepared.

After ensuring her own safety, Yu Ruo manipulated the Mirror Magic Treasures, shooting Spiritual Light towards Yue Shan.

Yue Shan jolted.

Suddenly, he returned to normal.

Upon recovering, Yue Shan was already sweating coldly.

He took a deep breath, calming himself, then looked at Yu Ruo.

"Thank you, Miss Yu, for your help."

Yu Ruo smiled slightly.

"Daoist Yue, it’s my pleasure."

Observing the composed Yu Ruo, Yue Shan couldn’t help but wonder.

Why did he fall prey, but Yu Ruo remained unaffected?

At this moment, Zhou Yu’s voice resonated.

"Be careful!"

As Zhou Yu spoke, they saw through the dense Demonic Qi ahead, several towering black shadows emerging.

In an instant, the massive shadows rapidly approached.

Appearing before their eyes.

Upon seeing the faces of these shadows, Zhou Yu and the others displayed expressions of shock.

These shadows were bizarre creatures with human heads and eagle bodies.

Below their necks, resembling eagles almost entirely.

Their heads, however, were akin to human heads.

Yet, they had only one eye.

Additionally, their mouths were flat and long.

Completely bald up top.

Moreover, there were five, all judging by their violent aura, exceeding the Void Refinement Realm.

One among them had clearly reached the Void Refining Realm Late Stage.

Seeing Zhou Yu and the others, their single eyes revealed excitement.

Like they spotted a delicious meal.

Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes, asking:

"Yue Shan, what kind of Demon Beast are these?"

Yue Shan shook his head, looking bewildered.

"Senior Zhou, these...these creatures, I’ve never encountered them before."

Witnessing this, Zhou Yu wasted no more words.

He directly raised his hand, instantly, powerful Primordial Power struck the five Demon Beasts.

Seeing this, one Demon Beast emitted a strange cry.

Boom!

In an instant, an overwhelming Sound Wave Divine Skill erupted, instantly shattering Zhou Yu’s attack.

Witnessing this, the Demon Beast’s eye reflected mockery.

As if mocking Zhou Yu’s presumption.

However, Zhou Yu’s eyes flashed with a faint trace of mockery.

Then, he swiftly cast a spell.

From the shattered attack, dense Power Of Thunder unexpectedly appeared.

These streaks of Power Of Thunder collided and intersected, then erupted explosively.

Instantly spreading a vast Thunder Light, enveloping the five Demon Beasts completely.

Witnessing this, Yue Shan and Yu Ruo showed excitement.

Unexpectedly, these terrifying Demon Beasts were subdued by Zhou Yu’s single move.

Yet, before their smiles could last.

Screeching cries echoed.

Consecutively, visible Sound Waves rippled in the sky.

Even the released Thunder Light was easily shattered by these Sound Waves.

The five beasts emerged once again.

On their bodies, several areas appeared scorched black.

Although they looked frantic, they were not severely hurt.

They were visibly enraged.

The five Demon Beasts roared furiously, then charged angrily at Zhou Yu...
