Mortal: I'm in Tianxing City, intelligence updates daily.

Senior Brother Pei transmitted his voice, "Junior Sister, please calm down. We don't know the location of the monster's lair, so this is the safest method for us."

Yuan Zhan also tried to appease him with kind words. He had been exhausted these past few days, not because of the demon beast, but because of the little troublemaker Leng Ning'er he had invited. She was causing all sorts of trouble, and several of his maids had been made to cry by her.

Suddenly, a scream echoed from the square.

The five looked closely and saw a golden tiger-shaped demon beast bite through the throat of a Yuan family Qi Refining cultivator, then ripped out his internal organs and swallowed them.

The other Yuan family cultivators who were pretending to be on patrol were immediately terrified and fled in all directions.

"Finally here! Watch how this fairy deals with this beast. Don't make a move yet, let me play with it for a bit." Leng Ning'er was overjoyed at the sight and poured her magic power into the array plate in her hand as she spoke.

"Junior sister, don't! There's still one demonic beast that hasn't shown up yet!" Li Shizhou, who was nearby, shouted a warning.

However, it was too late; the Kun formation of the "Five Spirits Heaven and Earth Demon-Locking Formation" had already been activated.

In the blink of an eye, the small light screens of the five array eyes disappeared, and a yellowish-brown hemispherical array light screen with a diameter of twenty feet appeared.

The golden tiger-shaped demon beast and two surviving Yuan family assassins were enveloped, leaving only the old cultivator Yuan Teng to escape. He stumbled and ran towards the inner city.

Soon another assassin perished, and the last remaining middle-aged male cultivator in black robes stood beside the light screen, desperately patting the earthen-yellow screen with his eyes filled with despair.

After another scream, the middle-aged male cultivator in black was pounced on by the demonic beast. Blood gushed from his neck, and he lay on the ground twitching a few times before falling still.

The golden tiger-shaped demon beast appeared and killed three people in less than two breaths.

Li Shizhou had a bad feeling. He activated his silver armor and flew into the air on his sword. On the way, he took out an indigo gourd and channeled his magic power into his eyes, beginning to cast the "Spirit-Seeking Technique".

No sooner had the spell been cast than another golden tiger-shaped demon beast sprang out from the ground, positioned right behind Leng Ning'er, its massive, nearly foot-wide paw lashing out in a blur.

Leng Ning'er was suddenly struck hard on the back. With a muffled groan, she flew more than ten zhang away like a rag doll. The array plate in her hand flew out of her hand and fell seven or eight zhang away.

Upon closer inspection, Li Shizhou saw that Leng Ning'er was completely encased in a golden soft armor, which shimmered with spiritual light and was actually a treasure that could automatically protect its owner.

He breathed a sigh of relief. Although this junior sister Leng was disliked by many, she was, after all, a descendant of a Nascent Soul cultivator. If something happened to her, the people who went out with her would probably also be blamed.

The newly appeared monster unleashed a palm strike and ran towards Leng Ning'er.

Li Shizhou had already manipulated the gourd to unleash dozens of sword beams, attacking the newly appeared monsters.

The other three were also startled and took to the air, simultaneously using their magical artifacts to help Leng Ning'er out of her predicament.

As if it had anticipated this, the beast took a few steps toward Leng Ning'er, then sank into the ground, dodging all the attacks.

When it reappeared, it was beside the array plate, smashing the array plate on the ground to pieces with a slap, and the earthen-yellow array light screen immediately dissipated.

This cunning creature feigned an attack on Leng Ning'er to attract everyone's attention, but its true target was the array plate on the ground.

The demonic beast that was originally trapped inside the formation also broke free.

The two demonic beasts pounced on Leng Ning'er at the same time.

Two loud booms rang out, and at the critical moment, Senior Brother Pei unleashed two Heavenly Thunder Pills.

Taking advantage of the gap, Leng Ning'er flew into the air, wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth with a start, took out a talisman, pointed it with her finger, and a moment later it transformed into a fire dragon more than three zhang long. Judging from its power, it was clearly a talisman treasure.

Seeing that there was no chance, the demon beast quickly dodged left and right to avoid the attack, and confronted the cultivator in the air from a distance.

Only then could the five of them clearly see the appearance of the monster.

Both beasts resembled tigers, with golden bodies and purple eyes. They were half again as large as ordinary tigers and were both level three beasts.

However, the two beasts also have some differences.

One of them had only one ear and its mouth was covered in blood; it was the one that first appeared.

The other one had a slight limp in its right forelimb, and its narrow eyes gleamed with a fierce light.

"Purple-eyed Bi".

Li Shizhou, Pei Ze, and Yuan Zhan blurted out the answer almost simultaneously.

This beast is no ordinary monster; it is ferocious and cunning, and two of them can unleash a combined attack.

The male has long black hair on its tail, while the female does not. They like to build their nests near ground fires.

Its single-target attack power is much stronger than other ordinary monsters of the same level, and it can also use earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic or escaping ability) after advancing to level two.

Level four individuals can also fly, and a few mutated individuals possess the ability to conceal themselves.

This beast is about the same strength as Li Shizhou's Mo Li Beast, and possesses a trace of the True Spirit Bi'an bloodline.

Despite being attacked by five cultivators, the two purple-eyed beasts showed little panic in their eyes.

Sometimes it disappears underground, and sometimes it bursts out from underground.

After six or seven rounds of attacks, nearly 90% of their attacks were dodged.

The Purple-Eyed Bixie had a body of copper and iron, with thick and smooth fur. Even the remaining ten percent of the attack did not cause it much damage, and the two beasts could also occasionally spit fireballs to retaliate.

The square was already covered with rubble, and the ground was full of potholes, with seven or eight large pits, each about ten feet deep, standing out in particular.

Seeing that he couldn't defeat the two demonic beasts, Yuan Zhan shouted, "Fellow disciples, please hold on a moment, I will activate the formation now."

At the same time, he took out an array plate and with a wave of his hand, twelve mid-grade spirit stones were embedded into the array plate.

The outer city's formation was reactivated, and a light blue array screen, spanning more than ten miles in length, rapidly closed in from the city wall towards the top.

After about two or three breaths, the light curtain successfully closed.

After they closed, a dazzling beam of light, as thick as a water bucket, shot down from the very center of the light curtain dome.

The moment it touched the ground, it rippled outwards, instantly covering the entire city.

Just as the one-eared purple-eyed beast was about to use the same trick again, burrowing underground to avoid the attack, it was bounced back after sinking only a few feet.

Clearly, the Yuan family's protective formation possesses the ability to defend against earth-遁 (earth-遁 is a type of magic or magic that can be used to escape from the earth).

Everyone's eyes lit up with joy upon seeing this, and they increased the intensity of their attacks.

Unable to use Earth Escape Technique, the number of times the two Purple-Eyed Bixie were hit suddenly increased several times over.

The two beasts tried to escape several times, but the five cultivators in the arena had practiced beforehand and had long since surrounded the two beasts, some responsible for attacking and others for blocking their escape routes.

In the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, most of the once glossy golden fur of the lame Purple-Eyed Bi was burned black and tattered, making it look quite pitiful.

It was Leng Ning'er's doing. She had been ambushed by this thief earlier, and although she had a treasure to protect her, she still suffered some minor injuries, so she naturally hated him to the core.

Fu Bao specifically targeted the lame, purple-eyed beast.

If this continues, they will eventually be worn down. The two beasts exchanged a glance and each spat out a ball of orange-yellow fire into the air.

The two fireballs collided in mid-air and merged together.

"Oh no, it's a combined attack technique! Fellow disciples, be careful!"
