The monster cultivator was caught off guard and had half of his body swallowed by the Black Bear Demon.
A commotion broke out in the vicinity immediately.
"What happened?"
"Damn it, how did this abominable beast break free?!"
"Hurry!"
"Catch it!"
A group of monster cultivators immediately demonized and started fighting fiercely with the Black Bear Demon.
Mo Hua had already hidden far away.
Among the Second Grade Demon Beasts, the Black Bear Demon was also extremely powerful, ferocious at the moment, either grabbing or biting, it was exceptionally troublesome.
The number of affected monster cultivators grew larger.
The monster cultivators tasked with watching over Little Wood and the others were also forced to join the battle, opening their Monster Patterns, demonizing their bodies, and engaging the Bear Demon.
During the heated battle, when the monster cultivators were too busy to care, Mo Hua seized an opportunity and secretly crawled under the coffin carriage.
After a while, the chaos subsided, and the Black Bear Demon was subdued.
But two monster cultivators were lost as well.
One monster cultivator had half his body bitten off by the Black Bear Demon.
Another fell from the White Bone Path during the battle, fell into the blood stream, and immediately had an erratic Divine Sense, acting insane.
The other monster cultivators were forced to end him.
With two people dead, a monster cultivator was furious and immediately wanted to slaughter the Bear Demon, but was stopped.
"The Young Master said these Monsters need to be kept alive. Dare to kill it now, are you asking for death?"
"But two people are dead..."
Someone sneered, "So what? We are no longer ’human’ now."
The atmosphere was momentarily tense.
Some were puzzled, "How did this beast suddenly go mad? Wasn’t it chained?"
A monster cultivator inspected the chains.
But the chains were torn to pieces, the Formation Patterns on it were in disarray, and the monster cultivator couldn’t make anything out, just cursed:
"Must be some bungler who carelessly failed to properly chain this beast."
"Damn it, almost got me killed!"
"Next time if anyone dares to be careless, I’ll skin them alive!"
"Enough!"
The most senior and powerful monster cultivator said coldly: "Get moving early, stop the nonsense."
The group of monster cultivators suppressed their tempers, lowered their heads.
"The gate of the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons is about to close..."
The monster cultivator exclaimed in a hoarse voice.
The other monster cultivators threw down the bodies of the two dead ones, regrouped, and with the monster carriage, continued along the White Bone Path towards the Valley of Ten Thousand Demons.
They didn’t know there was a "dangerous" little cultivator sneaking in on a coffin carriage...
...
Refining Demon Mountain, amidst a forest.
Mountain stones shattered, trees toppled, and the ground was like ravines torn open by demon beast claws.
Everywhere were scenes of devastation after battles among cultivators.
Xun Ziyou’s face was ashen, with the Tai Xu Sword floating in front of him, sword intent emanating fiercely from him, but his Taoist Robe bore several slash marks, with fresh blood trickling underneath.
Even demon poison was seeping into his flesh.
Next to him, the Chongxu Sect Elder’s face was pale, a bloodstain on the chest, a bloodstain on the back, numerous large and small wounds besides, and the sword-holding hand was trembling, clearly severely injured.
Opposite them were two Late Golden Core Stage monster cultivators.
One was transformed into a Bear Demon, tall and big, like a small mountain.
The other had a face like a viper, spitting its tongue.
They also carried some injuries, but relying on their abundant Monster Qi, were slowly recovering.
Both sides had used various methods in this life-and-death fight, full of intensity.
This was a fight to the death, with no mercy.
But with Chongxu Elder heavily injured, Xun Ziyou was almost fighting one against two, under tremendous pressure, inevitably falling behind.
Now both sides were facing off, the situation was at a stalemate.
