Invincible Divine Doctor of the Beautiful Lady-Chapter 949 - 923 Rules

Figures hurried to the eerie mountains, and soon an hour’s deadline had passed, with more than two thousand people gathered.

This round eliminated at least hundreds of people. freeωebnovēl.c૦m

The five from Yanshan Sect glanced over here, making everyone quiet down, awaiting orders.

The previous white-clad elder, full of authority, looked over: "Let’s discuss the rules of this trial. Scoring will be based on the number and quality of demon beasts you hunt. Demons have Demon Cores, monsters have Demon Hearts, wild beasts have Beast Cores. You only need to gather these, with a time limit of one day. By this time tomorrow, you must return here, or be eliminated."

"The five of us will be monitoring you from the air. If there’s real danger and powerful demon monsters, we’ll intervene. But remember, you must not kill each other, violators—death!"

The white-clad elder’s words were like thunder in everyone’s heart, instilling fear.

The rules, when spoken, were rather simple.

After announcing the rules, the white-clad elder waved and said, "All of you, enter the eerie mountains. Only the top two hundred can proceed to the second round."

As the elder’s words fell, figures rushed into the eerie mountains, scrambling.

Zhuang Qian smirked, chuckling: "Brother Tangyu, I’ll go ahead." Then Zhuang Qian didn’t directly enter the eerie mountains but quickly darted along its edge toward a direction.

Tangyu smirked, "Let’s also go through there into the eerie mountains. Entering from this spot, everyone gathers. Even if we encounter demon beasts, they’ll surely be snatched away."

Zi Cang and Yu Feng nodded, so the four chose a direction and darted off.

Yao Jiguang and Yang City Four Beauties didn’t swarm in from the entrance but entered from elsewhere, clearly more efficient.

Above, five experts from Yanshan Sect looked calmly below.

The white-clad elder said, "The five of us will patrol the pre-assigned areas. Unless Great Demon Monsters come out, we shouldn’t interfere."

The other four nodded, flying toward their respective areas.

After advancing for a full quarter-hour, Tangyu stopped and said, "Let’s enter from here."

"Okay." The other three, Zi Cang included, nodded in agreement.

Thus, Tangyu and the three entered the eerie mountains. Once inside, tall ancient trees stood, a gloomy atmosphere pervaded, and the air was filled with danger, making it feel like entering a ghost domain.

Tangyu raised an eyebrow: "Everyone, be careful. Luo Xiaobing, stay close. Eldest and Second Brother, let’s stay together for now. This first test doesn’t require rigorous efforts. The true battle will be the third round. In the first test, as long as we pass, we shouldn’t push too hard."

Zi Cang and Yu Feng nodded, confident and capable.

Hiss hiss—

Walking on the ground, the dry branches and leaves made a piercing sound, currently seeming especially frightening.

The atmosphere was eerie, chilling the bones.

Hiss hiss—

Tangyu’s ears moved, hearing a strange sound. He scanned around but found nothing, making him extremely alert, signaling everyone to be cautious with his eyes.

The four of them were a strong combination.

With the vicious nature of the eerie mountains, if everyone ventured alone, the death rate might exceed seventy percent.

After advancing a while, Tangyu suddenly felt something and shouted, "Watch out!"

But just as he shouted, a shadow darted towards Luo Xiaobing like lightning, swift as a flash, suddenly attacking, plunging Luo Hongbing into crisis.

Luo Xiaobing sensed the danger approaching, her nerves tightened immediately, and a bead of cold sweat emerged from her palms.

"Die!" A peerless sharpness suddenly descended from the sky, forming a streak directly toward that shadow.

Screech—

This sword’s edge instantly tore that shadowy figure into two halves, and a spray of fresh blood splattered onto the ground, staining it red. The shadow also transformed into two parts and fell to the ground.

Only then did everyone see the true form of the shadow; it was about the size of a wolf, entirely black. Its shape resembled a hog, but it was exceptionally fierce and frightening, covered all over with sharp quills. It had two tusks that were at least ten centimeters long. If one were bitten by it, they would likely die instantly.

In terms of strength alone, it was not inferior to the First Layer of the Mystic Law Realm.

Fortunately, Tangyu acted quickly and fiercely, managing to slay it with one strike and rescue Luo Xiaobing from its jaws.

Only after the beast was slain did Luo Xiaobing heave a sigh of relief, wiping the cold sweat from her brow, and said to Tangyu, "Thank you for saving me."

Tangyu shrugged and said, "We are a team now. Helping each other is what we should do."

Yu Feng teased with a smile, "Third brother, I think it’s fine if I team up with the big brother. You two can form a team, it seems quite fitting. I’ve lived all these years and never been a third wheel, it’s a bit of an awkward feeling."

Zi Cang was somewhat puzzled and asked, "What does third wheel mean?"

Yu Feng smiled and said, "Big brother, I think we need to go aside and discuss it slowly."

Zi Cang nodded, "I think that’s a good idea."

The exchange between the two left Tangyu speechless. Although Luo Xiaobing didn’t fully understand what they meant, she could tell they were teasing her and Tangyu, which made her blush shyly.

Tangyu shook his head and said, "This Yousen Mountains is indeed full of danger. We just entered and already encountered a fierce beast. The beasts here don’t seem to be weak, and their intelligence isn’t low either. I guess if it were demons, it would be even scarier. If we aren’t strong enough, we might really end up buried here. We need to be more cautious."

Yu Feng licked his lips and said, "Danger makes things interesting; it’s been a long time since I’ve had a good kill. This time I can really hone my skills and see the level of my current strength."

Yu Feng was eager for a fight to test his current strength.

Zi Cang was a Sword Immortal, and the path of the Sword Immortal required battles for improvement.

On the Path of the Five Elements, he followed the Golden Path, and above it lies the Sword Path, which aligns with the Yin Yang Path as a Great Dao.

Of course, Zi Cang hadn’t reached the threshold of the Sword Great Path yet, but he wanted to walk that path.

Luo Xiaobing said, "Tangyu, go quickly and gather that beast’s Core Pill."

Tangyu was straightforward, walked over and swiftly collected the Core Pill, then said, "Whoever slays it gets it, and at the end, we can average out equitably. But without a standard, we really don’t know how many Core Pills it’ll take to rank in the top two hundred."

Yu Feng shook his head and said, "Let’s not worry about that now. The only thing to do is to kill as much as possible, to guarantee we remain undefeated."

The four of them continued forward, heading deeper into the Yousen Mountains.

The Yousen Mountains were the largest mountain range in the Yanshan area, stretching over five hundred miles, and even connected to a nearby sect’s territory. So, it’s not unique to the Yanshan Sect. People from several nearby powers also come to train and adventure in the Yousen Mountains.

Along their journey, the number of fierce beasts and demon monsters in the Yousen Mountains was truly significant. They had encountered dozens of ambushes, mostly from fierce beasts. There was just one encounter with a demon, as demons were cunning and well-disguised. In contrast, the demons were bloodthirsty and berserk, attacking Tangyu’s group madly upon sight.

When facing weaker ones, Tangyu’s group would injure them first and let Luo Xiaobing finish them off.

Throughout the journey, Tangyu had slain the most, followed by Zi Cang and Yu Feng, while Luo Xiaobing had the least. This was because her strength was indeed weaker, so she could only handle relatively weak beasts. She had no way to slay stronger ones unless Tangyu and the others heavily injured them first, allowing Luo Xiaobing to kill them.

Finally, the four of them encountered their first danger when they got surrounded by two members of the Yao Race leading six fierce beasts. The six beasts were incredibly fierce, monstrous in shape, and terrifying in appearance.

The two from the Yao Race assumed human form, but their appearance was bizarrely strange, and one could tell they were Yao Race from their attire. It was a male and female Yao Race pair, but their true forms were unknown. The aura they exuded easily indicated they were Yao Race.

The Cultivation World was not very different from Earth, as the Yao Race was weak and found it hard to survive on human territory.

"Heh heh, it’s been a long time since I ate fresh human meat, and here we have two with tender skin. Husband, which one do you want to eat?" the male Yao Race member asked with a sinister smile.

The female Yao also laughed with a strange tone, her gaze lingering on Tangyu, and said, "Of course, I’ll eat this one. The woman you can have, but for those two old men, I’ll eat the younger one’s meat, and the older one goes to you, husband."

The male Yao grinned, "Alright, my wife. It’s happily decided then."

The two Yao Race members entertained themselves while the six beasts seemed very obedient to their words, standing there baring their teeth and opening their bloody mouths, yet not attacking immediately, as if following organized discipline.

Tangyu smirked coldly and said, "Our meat doesn’t taste good, but I am curious about whether yours is tasty. What is your true form? Tell me, I might be interested in your meat, and then I’ll consider whether to steam, boil, or barbecue you."
