Immortality Through Array Formations

Chapter 2071  Chapter 986: Third Grade - Part 3

Thereʼs even one that is blind, which infuriated Mo Hua to no end.

Moreover, all these Monster Beasts are nimble and deceptively quick.

Mo Hua spent half the day but didnʼt get to swing his sword.

Not only that, because he provoked too many Monster Beasts, it created a commotion.

Many Monster Beasts fought amongst themselves to devour him.

But Mo Huaʼs movement technique was so agile that they couldnʼt reach him, instead they turned upon each other, fighting violently.

Monster Beasts have low intelligence and a strong killing instinct; once blood is seen in their skirmishes, they canʼt restrain their ferocity and tear into each other.

The small forest turned into chaos in an instant.

Monster Qi rampaged, roars shook the mountains, and the tumult spread far.

Even Xun Ziyou, sitting at the mountain gate, heard the rising and falling beastly roars.

Xun Ziyou calmly sipped his tea, initially not too concerned.

Itʼs the Refining Demon Mountain, where Monster Beasts gather and Monster Hunting disciples roam; itʼs usual for beastly roars to echo distantly from the forests.

Xun Ziyou was accustomed to it and didnʼt pay much attention, but after a while, his heart suddenly skipped a beat.

Because he realized that today was different from usual.

Today Mo Hua was on the mountain!

An unusual occurrence always has a reason.

Mo Hua is that ”reason.”

Wherever he goes, an incident is likely to ensue.

Xun Ziyou is Mo Huaʼs ”guardian”, and heʼs quite experienced with such matters.

The forest held an eerie silence, while the beastly roars continued.

Xun Ziyouʼs heart was now on edge, even the excellent tea had lost its flavor.

Despite the fact that this commotion seemed insignificant, matters involving Mo Hua generally arenʼt simple.

Xun Ziyou hesitated for a long while, eventually setting his tea cup down, ”Canʼt leave it, I need to take a look.”

He couldnʼt continue drinking the tea.

He needed to go look, even if thereʼs truly nothing going on, just seeing for himself would bring peace of mind.

So Xun Ziyou gathered his sleeves and stood up, his figure flickered, transforming into a streak of sword light, stepping atop the mountain canopy, and headed directly to the Refining Demon Mountain.

Midway, he steadied his aura, and activated a hidden Spiritual Artifact, quietly weaving among the forests, stealthily approaching the hilltop of the Monster Beast commotion.

Upon nearing the mountain, a pack of wolves, insects, tigers, and leopards came into view, densely packed, fervently battling, blood flowing everywhere.

Xun Ziyouʼs gaze sharpened, surveying the surroundings, finally locating Mo Hua on a nearby big tree.

At this moment, Mo Hua was perched on a large tree branch, watching the spectacle.

The Monster Beasts below were slaughtering each other fiercely, while he appeared quite leisurely up above.

Xun Ziyou let out a breath of relief, yet felt somewhat speechless.

He knew for certain that this chaos was undoubtedly stirred up by Mo Hua.

Now, as the Monster Beasts fought bloody and battered, he instead leisurely observed the battle from the sidelines.

Xun Ziyou shook his head.

But since heʼs come, he couldnʼt just leave.

Xun Ziyou didnʼt make a sound, nor reveal his presence, temporarily stood guard at the side.

After contemplating for a while, he felt this distance was not particularly safe, possibly detectable by Mo Hua, thus he quietly retreated further.

Meanwhile, atop the tree, Mo Hua stared at the chaotic Monster Beasts below, feeling quite helpless.

He didnʼt mean to create such a turmoil, but had no choice, these Monster Beasts wouldnʼt cooperate with him.

If there was a single Monster Beast, with large eyes to just glare back at him obediently, he would have already tested his sword, without causing such an uproar.

”Iʼll observe the changes first, then target an injured Monster Beast, bind it with a Formation, force it to meet my gaze...”

Mo Hua pondered for a moment, deeming it the only feasible solution.

Thus, he continued perched on the tree, quietly watching the Monster Beasts tearing each other apart, waiting for the situation to calm down before attempting to pick off the remnants.

Yet after a while, before the turmoil could settle, an even stronger surge of Monster Qi suddenly came from afar.

Mo Huaʼs expression shifted.

Even Xun Ziyou in the distance had his gaze narrow.

”A Third Grade... Monster Beast?”

Without allowing the two to ponder further, within mere seconds, a violent swirl of black sand rolled in, flying stones and dust, a strong stench of blood filled the air.

The surrounding Earth and Wood recoiled completely.

Within the black smoke, a looming figure faintly emerged, as large as a small mountain.

With sharp teeth and a long snout, eyes like lanterns, pupils akin to bronze bells, its skin pitch-black and tough as iron, adorned with sharp bristle-like hair.

A torrent of Blood Qi akin to rivers.

The formidable demonic power surged within its body.

This was, without a doubt, a Third Grade Golden Core Realm Black Pig Monster!

The Third Grade Black Pig Monster almost sat at the pinnacle of power among the surrounding mountain tops of the Refining Demon Mountain.

Especially a Pig Monster with a dense Bloodline, rugged skin and flesh, body like a small mountain, capable of devouring virtually any mid to late Second Grade Monster Beast.

As black Qi surged around, upon the appearance of the Third Grade Black Pig Monster, the previously chaotic forest momentarily fell silent.

Those Second Grade Monster Beasts, formerly engaged in mutual slaughter, now trembled uncontrollably, struck with inexplicable fear, wildly bolting away.

Those moving slower, were crushed under the massive Pig Monsterʼs foot in an instant, bitten in half.

A Second Grade Bear Demon, relying on its robust physique, attempted a resistance but was pierced through the chest by the sharp tusks of the Third Grade Pig Monster, fiercely thrown to the ground.

Then with a downward swipe of its tusks, immediately disemboweled the Bear Demon.

Other Monster Beasts failing to escape were one after another seized by the Black Pig Monster, which pulverized their bones and rendered their flesh a bloody mess.

The forest, formerly rife with chaos, turned utterly silent within mere breaths.

The disorderly Monster Beasts, most ended up as corpses.

Only the sound of Pig Monster gnawing bones and breath of blood lingered chillingly within the woods.

Mo Hua atop the tree, didnʼt dare to breathe.

This was his first time witnessing a Third Grade Golden Core Realm Monster Beast so closely, especially one so enormous; just observing it felt overwhelmingly oppressive, not to mention the intense demonic power, the pungent stench of Blood Qi, and the brutal killer instinct...

Mo Huaʼs back tingled with cold.

”What to do?”

”Run?”

After thinking it through, Mo Hua seemed to have no other choice, unwilling to take risks fighting this mountain-sized Third Grade Pig Monster.

Far too dangerous.

Mo Hua resolved, slowly stood up.

But as soon as he moved, the Black Pig Monster below stopped its chewing motion, red lights flashing in its eyes.

Mo Hua froze, feeling an immediate sense of danger.

”Not good!”

He instantly leapt aside from the tree.

In the next moment, the tree beneath him split into two.

The Black Pig Monster merely struck lightly, with unmatched demonic power, splitting the tree vertically in two, as wood chips flew, the tree collapsed to the ground.

This Third Grade Pig Monster was extraordinarily vigilant, its sense of smell for human scent remarkably sharp.

Its craving for human flesh seemed incredibly intense

Upon seeing Mo Hua jump away, the Black Pig Monster roared in anger, its mountain-like figure surged forward like an avalanche.

All the trees along its path, were like grass stalks, crushed one after another.

Mo Hua gritted his teeth, exerted his movement technique to the fullest, fleeing towards the distance.

The Black Pig Monster, its vicious eyes gleaming like copper bells, unleashed monstrous winds, surging black qi, relentlessly pursued Mo Hua...
