"Stupid Bull, hold it in place!"
Wang Ying quickly gave the order.
The three horns on the head of the Golden Crystal Triangle Bull waved, and the Tianmao in midair was immediately immobilized.
"This Tianmao is mine now..."
Wang Yue cheered as she reached out to grab it, but only caught a residual image. The Tianmao in midair had long disappeared.
"What's going on? Wasn't it immobilized by the Stupid Bull?"
Wang Ying frowned.
Meow meow meow!
A series of cat cries, like sobs, echoed, and suddenly more than ten Tianmao appeared around the group.
"How are there so many Tianmao?"
Wang Yue asked in confusion.
Yang Tian used his Divine Sense to probe and said, "These Tianmao are merely clones; there's only one real Tianmao Beast here."
"With so many clones, which one is the main body?"
Wang Ying felt troubled.
Yang Tian probed with his Divine Sense, also finding it difficult to distinguish which was the main body, or perhaps the true main body had not appeared.
Meow meow meow!
The more than ten Tianmao emitted a series of shrieks, and sharp claws came clawing at the group from all directions.
"Attack!"
Yang Tian shouted, quickly executing a series of Heaven-shattering Palm Techniques.
The two Rabbit Kings and the Golden Crystal Triangle Bull also charged into battle.
As Yang Tian shattered all the incoming cat claws, these two Demon Beasts pounced toward the surrounding Tianmao. But it was clear that all the more than ten Tianmao were merely clones, and within moments, they were shattered to pieces.
"Yang Tian, this Tianmao is very cunning. Its main body probably isn't here, and it's likely we won't catch it anytime soon..."
Wang Ying said.
"Yes."
Yang Tian nodded.
Indeed, this Tianmao is a Celestial Spirit Beast, already possessing intelligence, hiding somewhere and only sending out clones to attack the group.
Meow meow meow!
A series of shrieks sounded again, and once more, clones of the Tianmao Beast appeared around the group with swishing sounds.
These Tianmao beasts shrieked and clawed at the group.
The trees along the way were clawed and split in half, demonstrating the power of the Tianmao. Yang Tian didn't slack, drawing the Holy Sword and performing the first strike of the Holy Sword, Sword Wandering the World.
Under the attack of Sword Wandering the World, all the clones of the Tianmao were shattered to pieces.
"The main body of the Tianmao isn't here, let's retreat first!"
Yang Tian waved his hand, leading the group to retreat.
"Big brother, where is the main body of the Tianmao? I want to catch it and give it to Ying, so she can have a Guardian Beast too!"
Wang Yue chirped.
"I know, and that's why I'm looking for the Tianmao..."
Yang Tian knocked on Wang Yue's little head.
He used his Divine Sense to probe around and suddenly found a powerful aura descending from the sky in the distant forest, forming a tornado. The surrounding Demon Qi was frantically absorbed, and soon there were beast cries as Demon Beasts scattered throughout the forest were drawn to the tornado.
"Something's happening!"
Yang Tian said.
"Big brother, why are all the Demon Beasts running toward the depths of the forest?"
Wang Yue quickly asked.
"Some powerful figure has appeared, let's go take a look!"
Yang Tian led the three women into the depths of the forest.
Soon, the group reached the edge of a cliff and looked down. They saw the tornado rising into the sky, connecting with the heavens. Black clouds were gathering rapidly, casting a dark shroud over the city.
All the Demon Beasts below gathered and lay on the ground.
"What's going on here?"
Wang Ying frowned.
Yang Tian used his Divine Sense to probe around and saw that the ten or so survivors had also arrived, but the Witch's presence was still nowhere to be seen.
However, within the tornado, Yang Tian sensed a familiar aura.
He frowned: "It's the Continent Guardian!"
"Continent Guardian?"
The three women were puzzled.
They saw an elder emerge from the tornado in midair, none other than the Continent Guardian.
His main body had been broken by the Witch, but after a few days, he had recovered.
He hovered in midair, looking at Yang Tian, and said, "Yang Tian, do you want to annihilate the Witch?"
"Oh?" Yang Tian raised his voice and asked, "What method do you have?"
"I can set up a Beast Array to annihilate the Witch!"
The elder's figure flickered, appearing in front of Yang Tian and the others.
"Annihilate the Witch? But big sister..."
Wang Yue became anxious.
Beside her, Wang Ying and Ling Ying remained silent, though the Witch had shown kindness to Yang Tian, it was hard to ensure that she wouldn't target them next time. After all, the Witch was no longer the familiar Yaoyao.
"Continent Guardian, if you set up the Beast Array, how confident are you in annihilating the Witch?"
Yang Tian asked solemnly.
"One hundred percent!" The elder snorted coldly, "That Witch was born from the space of this continent; I naturally know her weaknesses!"
"Alright, then set up the Beast Array now, and give whatever instructions you need!"
Yang Tian said.
"But, big brother, do we really have to annihilate big sister? She has been so good to us!"
Wang Yue became anxious.
Wang Ying grabbed Wang Yue, "Girl, don't interrupt. The Witch is inherently violent; if she can be annihilated, we mustn't be lenient!"
"But..."
Wang Yue wanted to say something, but Yang Tian already said solemnly, "Yueyue, she is no longer Yaoyao. It's either her life or ours!"
Wang Yue's little face turned pale.
"In that case, come help me. The Beast Array is driven by five arrays of gold, wood, water, fire, and earth. Each array needs a cultivator to control it. Whoever controls the array will be awarded a Celestial Spirit Beast!"
