Chapter 289 Stormy Tide

The Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword lay horizontally in his palm. Lin Zhao roughly estimated the strength of these demonic beasts. The strongest one was probably at the Great Perfection of the Heartbeat Stage. Lin Zhao couldn't be sure how much spiritual energy the beast possessed, so he prepared dozens of level-six talismans and hundreds of level-five talismans in his sleeve.

Grandma Honghu asked, "Aren't you afraid of losing so many talismans?"

"Even if I drop my sword, these talismans won't fall." Lin Zhao looked at the swarming horde of demonic beasts and took a deep breath.

Not everyone has the courage to face hundreds or thousands of menacing monsters, and Lin Zhao was no exception.

She charged forward with her sword drawn, using the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword and the Heavenly Phoenix Steps to nimbly dodge the attacks of these demonic beasts. If she couldn't dodge them, Lin Zhao would take out a talisman to freeze the opponent for a moment, or directly use a teleportation talisman to teleport herself forward.

The level 5 teleportation talismans were fine; Lin Zhao could control them easily. However, after quickly using up the level 5 talismans, the remaining three level 6 teleportation talismans became much harder to control. Because they consumed too much spiritual energy, as soon as Lin Zhao attached them, the immense distorting power of the teleportation talismans was no longer under her control.

By the time Lin Zhao had adjusted to this distorted power, he was facing a huge and ferocious beast face.

Lin Zhao's hand trembled, and she almost stabbed him with her sword, but she steadied herself, opened her phoenix wings behind her, and shook back, narrowly dodging the opponent's bite.

“Ignorant humans, get out of our territory.”

The monster's attack failed, and its giant maw twitched, emitting a sound.
It wasn't surprising that a level six demon beast could speak human language. Lin Zhao stopped in mid-air, his gaze fixed on the Wind and Rain Tree: "I've come to ask for the Wind and Rain Fruit. If you could..."

The enormous level-six demon beast didn't give Lin Zhao a chance to continue speaking. Its already massive wolf-shaped body grew even larger. If it was only a few times the size of Lin Zhao before, Lin Zhao was now like an ant compared to a bird of prey.

Even after its size increased, the wolf-like monster did not slow down. It let out a long howl and attacked Lin Zhao.

A golden light flashed between Lin Zhao's brows, and lotus seals appeared all over his body. He sheathed his bone sword and stepped forward to meet the opponent's incoming claw attack, unleashing his explosive fist.

With a claw and a fist, the aura emanating from the beast and the human was completely different. The wolf-like demon beast's claw was full of savagery and sharpness, and with its sharp force, the surrounding space seemed to be torn apart.

Lin Zhao's punches, on the other hand, were more stable and didn't seem threatening at all.

The two creatures, so vastly different in size, collided, and surprisingly, it was the larger wolf-like monster that suffered the most. It let out a miserable howl, and its claws drooped limply, clearly broken.

This injury is nothing to a level six demon beast, but it is terrifying that a human cultivator in the early stage of the Heartbeat Realm inflicted it with his physical body.

Seeing this, the other monsters all retreated to a safe area and stopped interfering in the battle.

Even the lowest-ranking of these demonic beasts has reached level four, and they all possess some intelligence. If even the king of this region cannot defeat this invader, then these demonic beasts piling up on him will only be providing him with easy prey.

Now, it remains to be seen whether this giant wolf can repel the invaders.

Lin Zhao, the Invader, seemed to have gained the upper hand, but his expression was not as cheerful as the monster had imagined.

Her explosive punch was delivered with all her might, and theoretically it should have been able to shatter several mountains. However, against this monster, it only managed to break off one of its front paws.

The wolf-like monster cannot even be described as having skin of copper and bones of iron.

Before the monster's forepaws had fully healed, Lin Zhao charged toward him like an arrow shot from a bow.

The monster roared and stopped foolishly trying to outmuscle Lin Zhao. It unleashed all its spiritual power, creating a red and blue energy ball within its enormous maw.

Just by watching the two colors flashing and jumping within the energy ball crackling and exploding, Lin Zhao knew that this thing's attack power was absolutely terrifying.

If it had actually hit her, she would have been seriously injured, if not killed. Fortunately, the energy ball in the giant wolf's mouth was merely brewing, clearly gathering its power.

"Do I need to charge up?" Lin Zhao summoned the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword and slashed at the giant wolf's sharp fangs without hesitation.

The giant wolf trembled, and a red, flowing shield rose from the ground around it, blocking Lin Zhao's sword energy.

The two abilities that the giant wolf has shown so far should be his innate skills as a level six monster, one for defense and one for attack. It has to be said that they are both very brutal and effective skills.

No frills, just absolute power.

Lin Zhao flicked his sleeve, activating three level-six explosive talismans, then tossed them onto the red shield before turning and flying into the sky.

Hearing the huge explosion beneath him, Lin Zhao's face twitched.

Three level-six explosive talismans are no less powerful than her fully charged Bodhi Slash; this demon beast is in for a rough time.

However, Lin Zhao was not idle while suspended in the air. His spiritual power circulated rapidly throughout his body, and his gaze gradually calmed down. He activated the Phoenix Harmony and pointed his bone sword at the void. The void trembled slightly. Just as he was about to lose his grip on the bone sword, Lin Zhao unleashed a sword beam.

The purplish-gray sword light, like a dragon emerging from the sea or a phoenix soaring into the sky, pierced through the barrier that had already been destroyed by the explosive talisman, leaving behind swift trails of arcs.

The energy ball that the level-six demon beast had been gathering was not completely complete. This incomplete energy ball was naturally destroyed along with the Bodhi Slash enhanced by the Phoenix Union. The huge wolf-shaped demon beast lay on the ground, bleeding from its seven orifices, its life or death unknown.

Lin Zhao popped a few pills to replenish her spiritual energy into her mouth, her gaze fixed on the other person. As soon as she felt a slight flow of spiritual energy in her meridians, she raised the Heavenly Phoenix Bone Sword, ready to launch another attack.

"Wait, I can give you the Wind and Rain Fruit!"

The wolf-like monster, which had been knocked to the ground, struggled to speak.

Lin Zhao continued to recover from his injuries and, upon hearing this, did not attack again: "Swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao."

The wolf-like demon beast slowly made its vow before Lin Zhao landed from the air and tossed a healing pill into its mouth.

With the help of the elixir, the wolf-like demon beast slowly stood up, shook its body, and the fierce look in its eyes as it looked at Lin Zhao was gone.
After all, this seemingly harmless little girl had almost killed him with a single swipe of her claws.

After its enormous wolf head displayed human-like thoughts, perhaps because of the pills Lin Zhao had given it, it still said, "You cannot go to pick the Wind and Rain Fruit now, because it will take three more days for the Wind and Rain Fruit to ripen. In addition, the Wind and Rain Fruit that ripens this year has a special characteristic."

Lin Zhao raised an eyebrow: "What's so special about it?"

"You've come here because of the Wind and Rain Fruit's ability to enhance spiritual cultivation, haven't you?"

Lin Zhao nodded.

The giant wolf said, "After the Wind and Rain Fruit ripens this time, it will summon a Wind and Rain Tide. The Wind and Rain Tide will give certain rewards based on the challenger's challenge level. It is said that the worst reward is an increase of a thousand strands of spiritual energy."

Lin Zhao was hearing about this for the first time, and her eyes widened in surprise: "Feng Yuchao?"

Grandma Honghu's voice also rang in her mind: "Wind and Rain Tree, Wind and Rain Tide, I'm jealous of your luck, little girl. If I remember correctly, the last time there was a wind and rain tide was on the Ancestral Dragon Continent, which was 30,000 years ago."

The Greedy Wolf Secret Realm opens at least once every few hundred years.

But the wind, rain, and tide are a once-in-tens of thousands of years occurrence!
