Gao Wu: Ten years of sparring experience, one move and the world knows him.

Chapter 199 Even Beasts Are Divided into Different Grades
The several Dharma Aspect Realm cultivators did not ask Zhao Rui to go along, after all, he had just returned from Guixu.

After a long and tiring journey, we need to rest.

Furthermore, since two elders from the Qingcheng Sect have already arrived, there is no need for Zhao Rui to participate.

This time, however, the number of strange beasts exceeded everyone's expectations, so they seemed a bit anxious.

Seeing the several Dharma Masters depart, Zhao Rui hesitated for a moment, then dialed his third uncle, Zhao Jinze, and asked him to lead all the relatives away from Lincheng as soon as possible.

The more chaotic the city becomes, the more unstable the neighboring city will become.

Zhao Rui could not stand idly by.

He is not Zhao Rui who transmigrated, but rather he possesses Zhao Rui's memories, while his main thoughts and feelings are still those of Zhao Rui in this life.

This place not only contains his family, but also all the little things from his childhood.

His classmates, friends, and teachers were among them.

There were classmates he had a crush on, and young girls who had a crush on him.

Without ability, everything is just empty talk; when one has ability, one naturally wants to maintain the good old days.

In the current situation, we should try to delay as long as possible.

"What a life of toil!"

After making the call, Zhao Rui glanced to the east, paused, and then leaped up from the rooftop, soaring hundreds of meters into the air.

His body was like a long sword, his sword energy piercing the air, and he sped towards the seaside of Nichiichi.

After traveling about a hundred kilometers, they could already see the figures of Master Qingyang and his group.

Hearing the whooshing sound, everyone tensed up and turned around to see Zhao Rui. They exclaimed with delight, "Master Zhao!"

"I want to go and see what's going on. I'm really uneasy, after all, this is my homeland."

Zhao Rui nodded slightly and spoke.

He certainly couldn't say he was going to help, because that would make the masters seem incompetent.

Upon hearing this, everyone nodded but said nothing more. Instead, they circulated their true energy and sped up their journey.

Half an hour later, the figures of the five Dharma Aspect Immortals appeared on the coast of Nichi City.

The Nichiichi coast features fine sandy and pink sand beaches, making it an excellent place for recreation.

But at this moment, there was no one there.

Two strangely shaped beasts are crossing the sea, one resembling a mutated sea serpent and the other resembling a giant crab.

Not far from the coast, three flying beasts circled the shore, whipping up a fierce wind that sent sand and stones flying.

Several kilometers from the shore, several mobile radar vehicles rotated their detection signal receivers, emitting radio waves to illuminate the five strange beasts and monitor their every move.

Hundreds of soldiers armed with live ammunition stood ready, their faces grim and expressions solemn.

They are all mortals, and their martial arts skills are at most at the third or fifth level of martial arts.

A year ago, when their spiritual energy had not fully recovered, this group would definitely have been a formidable force. But now, facing terrifying beasts, their skills are no different from those of unarmed people.

Without the help of the Dharma Master, even a single strange beast would require the lives of countless soldiers to drive it away.

Now that five have arrived at once, one can imagine how serious the situation is.

"Vehicle-mounted electromagnetic railgun ready, vehicle-mounted cruise missile activated..."

As the commands were quickly relayed, the soldiers began to prepare for sniping in an orderly manner.

"You should prepare to retreat; we'll handle things here."

Master Qingyang sighed and spoke loudly from afar.

The sound was thunderous, as if a righteous spirit was washing away the dust from people's hearts.

"It's Master Faxiang back! All units, retreat 10 kilometers in an orderly manner, keep radar alerts at all times, and be ready to provide assistance at any time."

The leading officer breathed a sigh of relief and quickly issued the evacuation order.

With the soldiers gone, the entire ten-kilometer stretch of coastline was instantly deserted.

"One head per person, drive them away as quickly as possible!"

As a senior member of the Taishan Sect, the largest sect in Dongqi Province, Master Qingyang was the most qualified person to issue orders.

The group nodded, each aiming at a different beast, and with a swift movement, charged forward.

If these strange beasts can be driven away in the sea, then we should try our best to prevent them from coming ashore. Otherwise, not only will there be widespread devastation, but the coastal environment, landforms, and buildings will also be damaged beyond recognition.

Zhao Rui had his eye on a flying alien beast that looked like an eagle with horns, and also somewhat like a pterosaur.

The reason why strange beasts are strange beasts is not just because they are huge, but because, like the big Mangcang people, they are born nourished by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and are born able to absorb spiritual energy to strengthen themselves.

Some develop powerful physiques, while others are born with innate supernatural abilities.

They were all born saints.

Zhao Rui sometimes suspects that the ancient book, the Classic of Mountains and Seas, may be a masterpiece of documentary literature.

It's just that because Guixu and Lanxing were separated, the people of Lanxing all thought it was a myth or legend.

This bird with horns on its head is quite similar to the Gu Diao from the Classic of Mountains and Seas, and its cry is also high-pitched and clear, like a cat's meow.

When the beast saw Zhao Rui flying over, its huge yellow eyes narrowed instantly, and then it flapped its wings and flew away into the distance.

Zhao Rui was stunned for a moment, then leaped up and chased after him.

Even after chasing it for more than ten nautical miles, the bird showed no sign of stopping and continued to flee at high speed.

"What kind of lousy bird is this?"

Zhao Rui was truly baffled. Aren't all strange beasts inherently violent and prone to starting a fight right away?
Since the other party had already run away, Zhao Rui stopped chasing and returned to the Japanese coast.

At this moment, the other four were engaged in a real, hard-fought battle with the four strange beasts.

The Dharma Masters manifested their Dharma forms one by one, each unleashing their unique skills to suppress the four strange beasts with a barrage of attacks.

The four strange beasts each possessed unique abilities, each one incredibly ferocious. Some unleashed sonic waves, while others could control water to create arrows, showing no fear of the four grandmasters.

“Master Qingyang, your stone shield is too slow. You block it for me, and I'll pluck this bird’s feathers.”

Cang Zhenzi saw that Qingyang Zhenren's stone dagger could not easily defeat the flying beast in front of him.

He couldn't help but shout out.

Having fought side by side for so long, the two of them still have this much tacit understanding.

With a flicker of his body, Master Qingyang split into two stone guardians, which directly suppressed the two strange beasts.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Cang Zhenzi leaped up, and the large hand transformed from his Xuanqiong Dharma Body grabbed the strange bird that was flapping its wings to avoid the attack in the sky.

"I'll roast you and make you into braised pigeon."

Enraged, Cang Zhenzi swung the beast and threw it onto the beach.

With a "pfft" sound!
The strange bird plunged headfirst into the sand, stirring up countless grains of sand that surged toward the shore, instantly creating a crater several meters deep.

"Jie Jie!"

The strange bird let out a miserable cry and opened its beak, spitting out a glob of liquid that looked like black ink.

The liquid grew rapidly in the wind, and in no time, it transformed into a giant net that blotted out the sky, enveloping Cang Zhenzi.

"careful!"

Master Qingyang was shocked and quickly warned, "This thing is poisonous."

Cang Zhenzi's expression tightened, and he hurriedly retreated at top speed. Suddenly, a beast's claw came flying from behind without warning, grabbing straight at his back.

"What a cunning creature!"

Cang Zhenzi's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected that humans would be so cunning, and that these two strange beasts could actually cooperate.

The beast's claws came at an extremely fast speed, and Cang Zhenzi had no way to avoid them. He could only turn all his true energy around to prepare to withstand the blow head-on.

"What a tragedy!"

Cang Zhenzi looked distressed; he would at least suffer internal injuries from this.

"Ow!"

Just as Cang Zhenzi had given up on escaping, the beast's claws suddenly retracted, followed by a bloodcurdling scream that shook the heavens.

A person was seen standing on the back of the attacking beast, wielding a longsword imbued with true energy that plunged straight into the beast's body. It was this sword energy that caused the beast to roar in pain.

Cang Zhenzi was taken aback, then overjoyed, and hurriedly retreated from the area covered by the poison net.

"Thank you, Master Zhao!"

This person was none other than Zhao Rui, who had returned after chasing the Gu Diao.

"Don't mention it, but please be careful."

After Zhao Rui finished speaking, he rushed straight towards the poison net. When he got there, his true form suddenly appeared. Then, he grabbed the sea with both hands, and a long rainbow of water, like a bolt of silk, was pulled out of the water by him.

Then Zhao Rui waved his hand, and boundless seawater directly covered the poison net.

"Congeal!"

Zhao Rui shouted and unleashed his Frost Palm technique, instantly freezing the seawater covering the poison net into thick, solid ice.

Then it fell from mid-air with a clattering sound.

The beast, not expecting its innate supernatural power to be broken, let out a mournful cry and flapped its wings to peck at Zhao Rui.

"Well done!"

"The mighty power of heaven, all evils flee in terror, all heavenly thunder, obey my command, swiftly!"

Suddenly, a terrifying surge of lightning power tore through the void and struck the strange beast.

The strange beast was terrified and flapped its wings to flee even further away.

How could Zhao Rui let it have its way? Ever since he learned the Eight Desolations Beast Taming and Evil Extermination Thunder Prison, his Thunderclap Sword Technique had already been adapted to other techniques, and its power had reached a new level.

Beneath this Thunder Prison lies the realm of rewards and punishments.

The giant bird-like beast moved with incredible speed, covering ten miles in an instant.

Birds' natural speed is indeed one of their strengths.

Cang Zhenzi couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. This bird was so troublesome; it would be such a waste if it got away.

"Thunder Prison Soul Lock!"

"Divine Thunder and Heavenly Might!"

Zhao Rui opened his eyes wide, and an even larger bolt of lightning appeared above the giant bird-like beast.

Without any hesitation, it struck the giant bird directly.

The giant bird let out a miserable cry and, like a quail, plummeted rapidly towards the ground.

There was a loud thud.

The giant bird's enormous head plunged straight into the shallow sea, its two legs flapped twice, and its body crashed into the water.

The commotion was so great that it had already alerted the other Dharma Aspect Realm Masters.

When they saw Zhao Rui take down the two strange beasts as easily as cutting melons and vegetables, they were all so astonished that they almost thought they were seeing things.

"Quick victory!"

After Zhao Rui finished speaking loudly, he charged towards the strange sea beast that was fighting against the Dharma Master of the Laoshan Sect.

The beasts are all quite proud and do not tolerate being provoked.

Seeing Zhao Rui charging towards him, he roared and activated his innate divine power.

Several water jets, each ten meters thick, rushed toward Zhao Rui in an instant.

Zhao Rui swayed and dodged the attack, then unleashed his Dragon Subduing Palm technique, scattering all the subsequent water columns.

Master Shaowu, the Dharma Image Master of the Laoshan School, was no pushover either. Seeing that Zhao Rui had drawn the fire, he immediately dodged and stood on the back of the strange beast. His long sword suddenly grew larger, with a blade a full ten feet wide.

The length of the sword was unknown, for the sword had already penetrated into the beast's body.

"Haw!"

The beast was in excruciating pain, and with a flip, it fell directly into the water.

Mr. Shaowu quickly leaped away and looked down from the air at the strange beast violently churning in the water.

At this moment, the longsword in his hand had returned to its original appearance, and from a distance, it appeared to be entirely crimson, which was quite extraordinary.

With Zhao Rui's help, these strange beasts were defeated by the group in no time. Except for one aquatic beast that escaped, the other three were left behind.

"Digesting these behemoths is also a difficult task!"

Zhao Rui looked at the enormous body of the strange beast and couldn't help but shake his head.

The death of a whale can give rise to the idiom "When a whale falls, all things revive."

Moreover, such a large beast.

"At this time, we still need to trouble Brother Cangzhenzi."

Master Qingyang walked through the air and, upon hearing Zhao Rui's exclamation, couldn't help but laugh.

Zhao Rui, unaware of what was going on, wanted to ask for details, when he saw Cang Zhenzi directly manifest a huge Dharma body, then embrace a strange beast and walk towards the sea.

Once they reached the deep water area, they simply threw it forward and far into the deep sea.

"This...is a good idea."

Rather than letting it rot and spoil on the shore, it's better to throw it to the fish.

"Some exotic beasts not only contain valuable materials in their bodies, making them nourishing elixirs, but also important tools for refining weapons..."

"That's what Master Qingyang said."

Zhao Rui pointed to the strange beast that Cang Zhenzi had thrown into the sea and asked in confusion, "Why did you throw it into the sea?"

"These are not spirit beasts, and their value is not high; they are not worth it."

"Oh? There are different kinds of mythical beasts, even spirit beasts?"

"Well, it's a long story. I'll tell you when we get back."

Master Qingyang nodded.

Seeing this, Zhao Rui didn't ask any further questions.

After Cang Zhenzi threw all three strange beasts into the deep sea, the group floated away and returned to the city of Rishi.

As soon as the Dharma Masters left, the soldiers ten kilometers away cheered.

This time, the matter was handled exceptionally quickly and efficiently.

It was just as easy as chopping melons and cutting vegetables.

How could this not be exciting?

There are five of them.

"It seems that the person who has come is a master."

The army commander couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

A moment later, he dialed his superior's number and reported the progress of the matter.

After he finished speaking, the superior was silent for a moment before saying, "This person is very likely Zhao Rui from the Qingcheng Sword Sect... He is also a veteran... He once served as the chief instructor of a certain group army region in Northwest China..."

“He was a soldier once too… I just hope he can stay longer and reduce the casualties among some soldiers.”

The commander hung up the phone with his superior and couldn't help but think to himself.

A hotel in the city center of Nichi.

Zhao Rui and the other five Dharma Aspect Masters were gathered together, discussing the battle they had just fought.

"Thanks to Master Zhao's timely return..."

"The True Man is not a person of the Void, so naturally he does not know the power of these Void beasts."

"If it's a one-on-one fight, our chances of winning aren't very high."

Listening to Cang Zhenzi and Qingyang Zhenren's words, Zhao Rui couldn't help but ask curiously, "Is this strange beast really that powerful?"

"More than that, even mythical beasts are divided into different grades. These are just ordinary mythical beasts."
