Lin Yu quickly retreated, using his Sparrow Step to leave the area.
Indeed, not long after, a ninth-tier Blood-Patterned Grasshead Serpent emerged from underground.
The small grass he had seen earlier was merely the horn on its head. Due to its striking resemblance to grass, it earned the name Blood-Patterned Grasshead Serpent.
These fierce beasts were not uncommon on Blue Star, and each one's grass-like horn was unique. However, they all shared a characteristic: blood-red patterns. They would be mistaken for rare natural treasures, leading unsuspecting individuals to attempt harvesting them, only to realize too late that it was a trap.
Consequently, this beast was considered a particularly cunning creature. Lin Yu had encountered descriptions of it in numerous books.
At this moment, the Blood-Patterned Grasshead Serpent, having emerged from the earth, saw no living beings drawn in. It cast a glance in Lin Yu's direction and, losing interest, slithered towards the center of the battlefield.
Many high-tier fierce beasts had already gathered there, the core of the battlefield having become a feeding ground for the beasts.
While this area had become a paradise for beasts, the surroundings were in disarray.
Jian Ku, wielding a long sword, hovered in mid-air, pointing his blade at the assembled beasts.
"Today, I shall ensure you all perish without a trace! Die!"
"Fierce and Transient Sword: Samsara!"
This was his third sword strike, and the most potent of his sword techniques.
*Boom!*
Sword energy traversed the sky, forming a circular wheel. Black and white energies flowed between the sword energy, circulating with the rotating, circular blade, carrying the essence of life and death.
Suddenly, he moved.
"Go!"
The Fierce and Transient Sword contained the cycle of life and death.
The interplay of death and life, imbued with peculiar energies, surged towards the Frost Dog Chieftain.
It could only barely resist, filled with indignation. As a proud Frost Dog, it was being suppressed to such an extent by a mere human. It refused to accept this!
"Extreme Frost Speed Path!"
It spat out frost, and an icy path materialized in the sky beneath its feet. It rapidly retreated, treading on the frost.
To buy himself time, it dragged another alien creature in front of it, using it as a shield against the sword energy.
*Boom!*
The Samsara sword energy, filled with the essence of life and death, instantly annihilated the creature, leaving not even a speck behind.
The Frost Dog Chieftain was greatly alarmed and accelerated its escape.
At this point, the assembled beasts were completely at a disadvantage.
With the support of reinforcements, the humans not only outnumbered the beasts but also held a qualitative advantage. The alien beast faction was destined to fail.
"Retreat!"
The Frost Dog Chieftain roared, leading the charge of withdrawal.
With their leader fleeing, the other beasts dared not linger and scattered in escape.
The Beastmaster rejoiced and shouted, "Everyone, let's chase the fleeing curs!"
"Haha, well said, let's chase the curs."
"Fleeing curs, don't run, come back and fight your grandfather for three hundred rounds."
"You, why can't you be a good human and insist on being a dog."
"Haha, I'm happy to, do you dare?"
"I don't dare, but—don't run, come back and fight your great-grandfather for ten thousand rounds."
"You... you're taking advantage of me."
Amidst boisterous jeers, they excitedly pursued.
However, this pursuit soon turned bitter, as in terms of speed, they were still no match for the alien beasts.
After a prolonged chase, they could only trail far behind, making it difficult to intercept them.
At this point, the Beastmaster said, "Don't worry everyone, Chi Yu has already gone ahead to ambush them. They won't escape."
Someone then asked with confusion, "Who is Chi Yu?"
Many others looked bewildered; they had indeed never heard the name Chi Yu before.
The Beastmaster replied with a helpless expression, "Chi Yu is the Dean of Divine Descendant Academy, that unreliable guy with the sunglasses."
Someone inquired, "Isn't his name Di Shitian?"
"That's right! Last time I heard him introduce himself, he said his name was Di Shitian? Could he have a twin brother?"
The Beastmaster sighed, "Don't you know he's a name-changing maniac? Chi Yu is just a name he recently adopted."
Chi Yu's strength was formidable, no less than that of the Sword God. However, this fellow was a peculiar individual who enjoyed changing his own name.
Upon hearing this, the others wore strange expressions. This seemingly cool individual actually had such a hobby.
"So that's how it is. Thank you for clarifying, Esteemed Beastmaster." They looked enlightened, but inwardly, they couldn't help but grumble.
Jian Ku remained impassive. He said, "We've arrived!"
Everyone immediately stopped. Indeed, in the distance, they saw a young man wearing sunglasses blocking the retreat path of the alien beasts.
The beasts were shocked and their hearts tightened to the extreme.
At this moment, an alien beast exclaimed, "Not good, it's Di Shitian! His strength is immense, even stronger than that Jian Ku!"
As soon as this ninth-tier powerhouse of the Wolfhead clan finished speaking, a beam of sword energy shot towards it.
Startled, it narrowly dodged and turned its head, only to see Jian Ku staring at it coldly, his gaze as if he could devour it.
Terrified, it quickly retreated to the side.
"Alien beasts, alien races, you have invaded our human territory. If I do not slay you today, how can I appease the vengeance of our fallen kin! Everyone, follow me and kill!"
Jian Ku stood with his sword raised, unleashing a series of desolate sword slashes. The entire sky was filled with a sense of desolation, making one feel dejected and dispirited.
"Roar!"
"Humans, you have gone too far! Kill!"
*Boom!*
The two sides clashed, and the battle resumed.
Yan Jun, wielding a flaming saber, severed the head of a Blood Frenzy clan member and then turned his attention to a Frost Dog.
The Beastmaster commanded its three spirit beasts to attack in unison, equivalent to three ninth-tier powerhouses. Under their encirclement, a ninth-tier creature fell within moments.
The commotion was immense, visible for a hundred li in every direction.
In the distance, at the alien beast tribe's encampment.
Great Commander Long Qinglan frowned, "What is the situation of the battle?"
"Reporting, Great Commander, our side has suffered heavy losses. The humans have mobilized most of their forces, intending to surround and annihilate us!"
"Hmm, what are the human casualties?"
"The human ninth-tiers have lost three individuals, while those below ninth-tier have suffered innumerable losses, conservatively estimated at five hundred thousand!"
"Hmm, although it's not as expected, it's still acceptable. These alien slaves have served their purpose. It's time for us to act, otherwise, the ancestor of the Frost Dogs will come looking for us!"
Long Qinglan flew out of the command tent and roared, "Mobilize the troops, the entire army departs!"
"Yes!"
"Roar!"
Meanwhile, in the jungle not far from the alien beast camp, Fuyaozi, clad in a Daoist robe, exclaimed in surprise, "They've indeed sent their entire army. I must inform the Elder quickly."
"Void Gate!" His eyes shifted slightly, and a void channel appeared before him. He stepped into it, and in the next moment, he materialized within the base.
The Elder, seeing him, smiled, "Where have you been this time?"
"Elder, something bad has happened! The alien beasts have launched a full-scale assault!"
"Not good! Quickly recall them."
"Understood!"
His subordinate quickly dispatched the message.
At this moment.
On the battlefield, the situation was at a stalemate. There was no time to check messages.
Only one person was an exception: Chi Yu.
After reading the message, he frowned.
"The chances of winning a decisive battle now are not high. The ninth-tier powerhouses of the alien beast tribe are more than double ours. Furthermore, their troop strength is more than triple ours."
"We should resolve this quickly and retreat."
He stretched his arms, and his demeanor turned serious.
He walked forward, and behind him appeared a bloody void, like a gaping maw capable of devouring everything.
"Boundless Realm: Blood Maw Swallows the Sky!"
In the next moment, the bloody maw flew towards the battlefield and hovered in the sky.
Immediately, an immense suction force appeared. This scene was all too familiar, causing the Frost Dog Chieftain to turn pale with fright.
"Such terrifying suction! Not good, I can't hold on."
"I can't hold on either! I don't want to die!"
"Humans, you will pay for this..."
*Boom!*
All the alien races and beasts were sucked in, while Chi Yu licked his lips with apparent satisfaction.
The human side stared at him as if he were a monster.
He was too powerful!
Jian Ku's expression was grim, especially as many eyes shifted between the two of them, seemingly comparing their strengths.
He snorted and returned alone, his figure conveying a sense of solitude.
The Beastmaster chuckled wryly, "Alright, alright, let's head back. Chi Yu's skill doesn't last long. We'll lure them into the base and have our way with them."
Hearing this, Chi Yu shot him an annoyed glance and whispered coldly beside him, "You talk too much!"
