The Way of The Dao

"Young Miss!"

The screams could be heard loudly.

Everyone saw how the demon beast Peantre chased Zhang Xinya into the forest.

"Shit! One has to go out to protect the young miss!" One of the elders, Zhang Jinshian, shouted.

GROAR!

The demon beasts crowded around them all.

The two elders and the two women protected the group from the demon beasts.

Most of the young men were in the Black or Heaven rank, therefore, they could not help much. Only a few brave ones, dared to face the weaker demon beasts.

Although they had all gone out precisely to train their combat skills, this was beyond their limits, so they could not do much.

Bump!

Slash!

Grrr!

Ahhh!

Bumps, cuts, grunts and blood could be found on the battlefield.

Zhang Jinshian faced over 10 demon beasts in the Great Heaven rank. He was a 3-star King rank, so he could take on 10 demon beasts.

Zhang Hai was also ranked 3-star King, so he also took the attacks of 10 demon beasts to protect the group.

Although Zhang Xie was a 1-star King rank, she could still handle a dozen demon beasts with a little difficulty.

Zhang Li was a 3-star Great Heaven rank, which is why she was a bit more in the center, protecting all the youngsters who might receive an unexpected attack from any demon beast.

If they kept up that pace, they could hold out for a long time...

They could even murder all the demon beasts slowly!

But, the fantasy could only be imagined.

The four remaining demon beasts in the King's rank had hindered them at first, preventing anyone from leaving its hunting ground and reaching Zhang Xinya's side, so then they had not made a move. They just stood and watched the situation. It was as if they were watching an ant show.

But still, they felt a mountain looming over them. Making their movements difficult and instilling fear in them.

Zhang Jinshian signaled to Zhang Hai, so quickly his movements were synchronized and he began to attack the weaker demon beasts.

Zhang Jinshian decided to finish off the weaker demon beasts first.

They would finish off the weaker ones, so the pressure would be relieved a bit by eliminating the numbers!

Zhang Jinshian ran towards a giant snake that was a Black rank.

Slash!

With his sword, he cut off the snake's head, while dodging its fangs.

He then headed for the closest demon beast that was a Heaven rank.

Zhang Hai knew what Zhang Jinshian wanted to do all along. The two had worked as a duo since they were young, so they could understand each other without words.

The moment Zhang Jishian moved, he focused between his position and his partner's previous position.

Instantly, he attracted the attention of the more than 10 demon beasts that Zhang Jinshian was facing just now. He planned to delay and take over the attacks of the demon beasts from his partner and himself, until Zhang Jinshian managed to eliminate some demon beasts and weaken the pressure on them.

If he didn't do that, the demon beasts that Zhang Jinshian faced, would head towards the group of young people and attack them, therefore he had no choice but to sacrifice himself.

A little more than 20 demon beasts surrounded Zhang Hai, exerting an immense pressure like a mountain on his body.

Bzzz!

Slash!

Fwoosh!

Rawr!

He dodged, defended and attacked as many times as he could. He was going to hold out until his partner came back.

The kids were scared. Their legs were shaking from the horror they were witnessing at this moment.

Although the purpose of training the martial arts was to survive the attack of the demon beasts, they were still very young and had no first-hand experience of facing a whole horde of demon beasts. Needless to say, these powerful demon beasts were stronger than they were.

Only a few young men, who were also in the Heaven rank, helped with much difficulty to defend themselves from the attacks. But unfortunately, their power was very deficient, and therefore they could not avoid getting hurt.

Since everyone was afraid and did not pay attention to their companions, no one had noticed that de Zhang Bing was hidden among all his companions. He didn't want to go out and face those horrible monsters. He just wanted to escape from there.

Even his arrogance vanished when he saw all these demon beasts together.

When he thought about escaping, he realized something.

If he himself, managed to kill some demon beasts and help the elders in the fight, he could be rewarded later!

He would receive praise from all his companions!

Maybe the young miss could admire him and fall in love with him!

They could even arrange to get engaged and marry the young miss!

The goddess Zhang Xinya!

With his new fantasies, fear and panic were replaced by conviction and determination.

He held his sword tightly in both hands and addressed a demon beast that he knew was in the Heaven rank.

Fwoosh

Grrr!

He ran quickly and managed to harm the demon beast. He cut off one of its legs and let out a painful grunt.

He gave it no time to escape and buried his sword in its head, killing it almost instantly.

Zhang Bing smiled smugly when he managed to kill a demon beast.

His arrogance could not help but return again.

He would kill all the demon beasts and marry Zhang Xinya!

He drew his sword from the head of the demon beast and instantly ran towards another monster.

Unfortunately, his arrogance did not allow him to think clearly and he chose a demon beast in the rank of Great Heaven.

"Stop!"

One of the elders who was currently nearby, Zhang Jinshian, had noticed it earlier when he killed the demon beast in Heaven rank.

At this point, no one could easily help. Much help was needed to deal with these fierce demon beasts, so when Zhang Bing came out to help, he could not help but see it. He was watching him, and if he was about to receive a fatal wound or worse, die, he would help him. They had a responsibility to protect the group.

But now, seeing that Zhang Bing was heading exactly for a demon beast in the rank of Great Heaven, he got worried and shouted at him to stop. The power difference was too much. It was inevitable that he would die.

When they heard the old man's scream, they all turned to see him. Following his gaze, they all watched as Zhang Bing headed toward a demon beast in the rank of Great Heaven.

Zhang Bing jumped towards the demon beast and threw a cut with his sword.

Clank!

Unfortunately, the demon beast reacted in time and moved one of its claws, managing to strike Zhang Bing's sword and destroy it.

The demon beast fixed its gaze on him.

Zhang Bing recoiled slightly from the impact of the blow. He fell to the ground and rolled around a bit. He was on his back and immediately lifted half his upper body.

Focusing his eyes quickly, he watched as the demon beast slowly approached him, opening its mouth to eat him.

His body did not react. Fear overcame him completely. He could not move a finger, much less escape.

"Ahhh!"

"Zhang Bing!"

The women let out a cry of terror when they saw that one of their partners was going to be killed by the demon beast while they closed their eyes. The men tightened their weapons, while the elders tried to approach him to save him.

But if they could not even move freely in their state, then they would not be able to save him. So they watched helplessly as Zhang Bing was killed by the demon beast.

Groar!

The demon beast jumped into the air.

Zhang Bing felt time moving slowly. He was sure he would die.

Slash!

Everyone noticed that, a flash passed through the body of the demon beast when it jumped in the air and was about to kill Zhang Bing.

The demon beast froze in the air, without moving a single hair.

Crack!

The body of the demon beast broke in half and fell to the ground.

Everyone opened their eyes completely to witness such a scene.

Everyone was stunned to see such an outcome!

Instantly, everyone realized that behind the demon beast was someone, holding a sword in his hand.
