Cultivating Disciples to Breakthrough

Feeling the demon beasts slowly moving closer to her, the female cultivator didn’t feel the slightest bit relaxed. Understanding that only when the talisman finished fully activating would she truly be able to escape safely. At the very least, the slow approach of the demon beasts only served to reassure her that her plan of pretending to not have been weakened in the slightest during her battle had worked perfectly.

Rooar-!

Unfortunately, as she had to remain stationary while the teleportation talisman activated, one of the demon beasts seemed to have grown suspicious of her actual condition. Starting to approach a bit faster than the rest of the demon beast to seize the dead body of the turtle demon beast faster than the other demon beasts.

ROooaaarrR-!

Rooar!

In turn, because of this, the rest of the demon beasts also began approaching at a faster speed. Unwilling to just hand over the dead body of the turtle demon beast.

Not just that, but during the entire process, these demon beasts also paid special attention to her. Wanting to gauge her reaction to them essentially wanting to seize the corpse of the demon beast she had killed from right under her nose.

If she ended up moving to seize the demon beast herself, it would make it clear to the demon beasts that she still had enough strength left to fight them for it and would in turn make them far more cautious in their approach to the situation.

On the other hand, if she didn’t do anything and remained in the same position without doing anything, it would make these demon beasts far more confident in their approach and would give them a certain degree of certainty that she had been weakened in her battle with the turtle demon beast.

For the female cultivator, this was a bad situation no matter what she did. Making a move to take away the corpse of the turtle demon beast would disrupt the teleportation talisman that had by now proceeded a little over halfway through its activation process, while doing nothing would make the demon beasts far more aggressive in their approach.

I can only hope they won’t attack me before the teleportation talisman activates…

Thinking this to herself as she looked towards the approaching demon beasts with unease, the female cultivator ultimately decided to ignore the challenge from the demon beasts and stand her ground without making a move to seize the dead body of the turtle demon beast.

Rooar-!

Seeing this, the demon beast no longer restrained themselves as they charged forward with full speed after not seeing any reaction from the female cultivator.

In the end, the time they took to assess her reaction was only a little over two seconds. In total, she still had three seconds left before the teleportation talisman would activate and send her out of her current predicament. Unfortunately, it looked like she would at most have another second before the demon beast reached her and ultimately caused enough of a disturbance to prevent her teleportation talisman from carving out a spatial passage for her to escape through.

After all, she wasn’t especially skilled in spatial manipulation and had no way to help stabilize the spatial passage created by the teleportation talisman in this kind of chaotic environment.

If not, she would have already escaped from the mountain range by now…

Crack~

And just like that, she watched the fragile spatial passage breaking the moment the demon beasts started clashing with each other over the opportunity to seize the dead body of the turtle demon beast. Leaving her with no way out of her current situation.

”Damnable beasts, why so impatient?” Muttering this to herself with a distraught expression clearly visible on her face, the female cultivator clearly felt all the demon beasts focus their attention on her filled with both surprise and excitement.

The reason for this was not because of the sudden change in expression, but instead because they also noticed the spatial passage breaking the moment they had started fighting with each other… And even if none of them were skilled when it came to the Dao of Space, it didn’t take a genius to figure out that this spatial passage was an escape path created by the female cultivator. Making it certain that she was trying to run away. Indicating she was far weaker than she outwardly appeared to be.

ROOOAR-!

Knowing that the outward show of strength was only pretense, it didn’t even take a second before one of the demon beast’s closest to the female cultivator turned its attention away from the dead body of the turtle demon beast and charged towards her. Understanding that while the inherent qi and blood in the body of the turtle demon beast was more than that of the human cultivator, it was far easier to fully monopolize the qi and blood of a human cultivator due to the small size of human cultivators when compared to massive demon beasts like the turtle demon beast.

At the same time, not wanting to lose out on this opportunity, close to half of the demon beasts turned their attention away from the dead body of the turtle demon beasts and instead focused their attention on the female cultivator. All wanting to swallow her whole and use her powerful qi and blood to enhance their own strength.

”Is this perhaps my time to shine? Saving the damsel in distress?” Muttering this to himself as he looked at the deadly situation of the female cultivator who had her escape plan ruined by the demon beasts clashing with each other over the dead body of the turtle demon beast, Xuan Hao casual took a step forward as he appeared in front of the female cultivator.

”Huh? Who are-”

Whoosh-!

Not even giving her the chance to say anything, he directly swept her up with his domain and moved back to the location of his disciple with the drifting cloud steps.

Roar?

Roar…?

Roar…

Leaving the demon beasts about to chomp down on her in a bewildered state. Not knowing what had just happened to the human that had been in front of them.
