Chapter 1936 - 1937: Anomaly
As everyone's attacks became more coordinated, the once majestic Demon Flame Black Armored Bear gradually fell into a position where it could only resist, unable to counterattack.Moreover, under the joint assault of the crowd, the injuries on the Demon Flame Black Armored Bear continued to increase. At first, they were just superficial wounds, but as the battle continued, some injuries were even affecting its movement.
However, the disciples weren't without losses either. The Black Armored Bear's burst of power was still extremely fierce, and its simple charges and swipes carried immense destructive power. Though everyone was deliberately cautious, maintaining a distance from it, two disciples were still gravely injured. After all, it was a beast at the brink of divine status; even a mere scratch from its claws was severe.
Even Yun Tianxing wasn't spared, getting grazed by the bear's claws and leaving a spray of blood. However, fortunately, Yun Tianxing reacted quickly and possessed notable strength, so the injuries weren't grave. After taking a bunch of pills, his condition gradually improved.
Despite the Demon Flame Black Armored Bear's exceptional endurance, once someone was injured, everyone's alertness increased significantly. Even though the Black Armored Bear was exceedingly violent, it was left with no means to attack anyone successfully, resorting to emitting furious roars.
Thus, as time passed, the bear's imposing aura steadily diminished.
Seeing this, everyone's offensive became increasingly fierce, aiming to quickly bring down this giant beast with a cultivation level almost at the divine threshold. Among the crowd, Qin Wan was no exception, yet her eyes revealed hesitation, seemingly reluctant to make certain moves.
At this moment, outside the Mystic Waters, everyone's reactions were similarly complex.
In the expansive water screen, scenes of the battle against the Demon Flame Black Armored Bear unfolded. Whether the magical flames surrounding the bear or the powerful attacks from everyone fell into the eyes of the spectators.
Everyone clearly understood that the beast being besieged before their eyes had strength reaching the brink of divinity, capable of harnessing celestial forces. Yet, even so, it was still suppressed by the attacking crowd.
In the previously dull Mystic Waters, where battles rarely erupted among the disciples, such a grand battle unfolded. Those watching found it incredibly intriguing, their eyes fixed on the water screen to avoid missing any exciting action.
However, Li Yaoyang of the Sunlight Sect frowned, finally unable to resist asking:
"Pavilion Master Li! Why is there a beast at the brink of divinity appearing in the Mystic Waters? The disciples' strength is merely at the ninth level, wouldn't it be highly dangerous if they encountered it?"
Upon hearing this, Li Changfeng smiled slightly and then said:
"Haha! Sect Master Li need not be overly concerned! The purpose of this competition is to select the strongest. Without setting challenges, how can we discern their limits? Besides, as you can see, although the disciples have sustained injuries, none have died or been directly expelled from the Mystic Waters. Clearly, Sect Master Li, you are overthinking this!"
Seeing Li Changfeng's inscrutable demeanor, Li Yaoyang felt deeply displeased. So far, two disciples from the Sunlight Sect had been eliminated, while others from different sects hadn't been. This inevitably brought him disgrace.
The arrangement of this beast at the brink of divinity was entirely unexpected by everyone, but, at this moment, its efficacy seemed excellent, with other sect leaders somewhat agreeing with Li Changfeng's approach.
The Sect Master of the Origin Sect chuckled and said:
"Oh, Brother Li Yaoyang, one should always look on the bright side. This powerful beast is indeed a necessary factor to motivate them to grow stronger!"
Upon hearing this, Li Yaoyang forced a smile and nodded slightly in agreement superficially, but inwardly he complained:
"Of course, you're delighted. Yun Tianxing possesses great leadership skills, decisively seeking allies to tackle the beast at the brink of divinity. Although there were some twists, his exceptional capabilities are evident."
Xiao Rou of the Luo Shui Sect chuckled, saying:
"Haha, I think introducing the beast at the brink of divinity is a good idea. Now, those disciples are at the ninth level, and during battles, their potential can be roughly gauged. Who knows, engaging with this beast might prompt them to break through sooner!"
Currently, the most pleased person is Xiao Rou, for she knows that her disciple, Qin Wan, possesses capabilities far beyond what meets the eye. Moreover, she's involved in this operation's organization. Perhaps the biggest winner this time might indeed be Qin Wan.
Conversely, Li Changfeng's mood wasn't quite as good. Although none from the Heavenly Sword Pavilion had been eliminated, none of them appeared in such a grand action as besieging a beast at the brink of divinity, which made him feel somewhat embarrassed, as if they were timid.
If they had witnessed Lin Chen's previous battle against Qian Jin, they would understand. But so far, people still don't know about the grudges between Lin Chen and several disciples of the Heavenly Sword Pavilion.
In the Mystic Waters, amid a valley.
A group of disciples with powerful cultivation surrounded a beast with formidable strength.
At this moment, the Demon Flame Black Armored Bear had almost entirely lost its ability to resist, merely curling up defensively. Yet, even so, the black scale armor initially covering most of its body was almost completely shattered, with exposed wounds streaming black and red blood like a flowing stream on the ground.
Just as joy spread across everyone's faces, thinking the bear was near its limit, Qin Wan's delicate brows furrowed lightly. For some unknown reason, she always felt there was something peculiar about the bear's current state. Can a beast at the brink of divinity be defeated so easily? Thus, she hadn't yet used her prepared contingency plan, trusting her intuition.
Witnessing the bear being forcefully knocked around, Ning Yan saw it tumble over, seemingly lacking the strength to even rise. His eyes suddenly turned sharp, and his whole aura exploded forth, charging straight at the bear with unmatched momentum, his long knife bursting with unparalleled blade light, divine energy surging!
In an instant, he was right before the Demon Flame Black Armored Bear.
