thank you all!" Granny said cheerfully.Zhao Hongyu smiled while covering her mouth, glancing at Hao Ren. Hao Ren sighed slightly; he knew they would meet eventually no matter what. Even without this i...Chapter 502: The Great General's Might!!!

The moment Elder Sun finished speaking, a ferocious beast with horns charged out from the turbulent waves on the beach.

"Ah Zi!" Hardin shouted as he unleashed his sword.

Zi Zhu retreated half a step and thrust her longsword twice in quick succession.

With the Tian Shu Sword Style, she immediately reduced the beast's horns by half.

The demon beast quickly withdrew back into the tide, causing Zi Zhu to sweat profusely.

Roar… Roar…

Dozens more demon beasts leaped out of the waves and charged towards the sky.

A dozen bolts of heavenly lightning struck some of these demon beasts. These thunderbolts varied in strength; weaker demons were instantly killed by the thicker ones.

However, this did not deter the continuous surge of demon beasts from the sea.

This type of heavenly lightning was far less powerful than the lightning tribulation that accompanies a transformation. Weaker beings would be struck down by it, while stronger ones might attempt to use these weaker bolts as substitutes for their own tribulations and immediately succeed in transforming.

In the sky, dark clouds piled up layer upon layer, becoming thicker and thicker. The once bright daytime, partially obscured by the clouds, suddenly turned darker than night.

Yet, not a drop of rain fell from such clouds, which was quite strange.

Ao…

Hundreds of demon beasts resembling white horses gathered together and charged towards the sky, like a strip of white silk.

Kra-la-la!

A bolt of heavenly lightning struck down, instantly scattering the cluster of white horses. Some of them shattered into pieces and fell into the sea with thuds.

The demon beasts that were waiting around opened their huge mouths and ate the remains of the white horse demon beasts. The bodies of demon beasts are also nutritious for other demon beasts.

Xie Yujia uses immortal herbs to refine pills, but some medicinal pills made by alchemists in cultivation sects use the flesh or inner丹of demon beasts as ingredients.

Swish swish swish...

Taking advantage of the surging ocean tide, several more demon beasts approached Purple Bamboo Island.

Zhao Yanzi used the Heavenly Array Sword Style and swung his longsword to emit a beam of light. These demon beasts were also extremely fast; they immediately raised their claws. Zhao Yanzi's sword struck against the demon beast’s claw with metallic clashing sounds.

The earlier demon beast that had ambushed Zhao Yanzi was an ungraded one, but these several that rushed up this time were all first-grade demon beasts, equivalent to the Core Formation stage realm.

Zhao Yanzi only then realized how formidable the demon beasts in the sea were. While retreating during battle, he hastily shouted, “Hao Ren, Hao Ren!”

Hao Ren was being surrounded by two demon beasts. In a hurry, he sent out 60 sword rays that directly pierced through one of the demon beast’s stomach.

The demon beast suffered serious injuries but its inner丹was undamaged. In pain, it quickly retreated.

"Son-in-law, do not let your killing intent be too heavy," Senior Elder Lu reminded him.

Old Dragon King Zhao Haoran was originally the most promising great cultivator among dragons to ascend to heavenly dragon status. But because of that sudden spiritual practitioner war in the cultivation world, Zhao Haoran had killed dozens of Core Formation-stage great cultivators from cultivation sects in order to protect the safety of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace, which later caused too many sins of the heart and prevented him from ascending.

Senior Elders Lu and Sun did not expect Hao Ren to break through to become a heavenly dragon. But having too much killing intent would also affect his future cultivation.

"Alright,"

Hao Ren released 120 sword rays, severing the legs of two demon beasts that had already reached him and then sent them flying into the sea with one palm each.

Actually, from his own perspective, he did not like killing either.

At his current Middle Rank Geng level cultivation, equivalent to late-stage Core Formation realm strength, coupled with Sword Image Splitting Technique, it was still quite easy for him to drive back these first-grade demon beasts.

And if using Little White’s second-grade spirit beast strength, he could even scare them off just by intimidating them.

Zhao Yanzi saw that she could not defeat the demon beasts on her own and finally ran back to Hao Ren's side, fighting alongside him.

Her Heaven Pivot Sword Style and Heaven Dou Sword Style worked quite effectively in conjunction with Hao Ren’s sword formation.

The soldiers guarding the palace closely saw Captain Hao Ren and Princess battling bravely at the beachfront. Their morale was greatly boosted.

If even their esteemed general is so valiant, and if the princess has forsaken her noble status to fight personally, then it must be that the Dragon King pities them, these ordinary soldiers.

The soldiers’ loyalty towards the East Sea Dragon Palace instantly rose to another level.

More and more demon beasts were attempting to withstand the heavenly thunder strikes. More still tried to approach Purple Bamboo Island.

Hao Ren was defending a section of beach where demon beasts most easily landed, but even he began to feel that his 320 sword beams couldn’t hold them back.

Zhao Yanzi’s spirit energy was nearly depleted and she gradually found herself struggling. But when she saw Hao Ren continuing to fight, she gritted her teeth and did not retreat.

"Young Master Hao, it's time to withdraw," Elder Sun shouted.

There was a genuine barrier around the palace that could still defend against first or second grade demon beasts should they fall back there.

Swoosh…

A gray-white sword qi burst from Hao Ren’s palm, shooting straight up into the clouds.

There was a flash of silver light in the cloud layer.

After about half a second, lightning rained down like a storm from above.

The demon beasts that had already entered around the island didn't even have time to react and were struck by this fine heavenly thunder.

Hundreds of demon beasts fell dead or injured.

Elders Sun and Lu, who had already retreated into the barrier, gawked in amazement.

The soldiers surrounding the palace were all filled with excitement.

"General, how formidable! General, how formidable! General, how formidable!" They stood at various fortresses around the palace and raised their spears high, shouting in unison.

Those demon beasts close to the formation stage had already developed some spiritual awareness. Seeing the chaotic scene of lightning around Purple Bamboo Island, they were all shocked and frightened.

The first- and second-stage demon beasts were usually prey for them; whether dead or injured, it was none of their business. However, that scene of awe-inspiring power from the lightning caught their attention.

Those fourth- and fifth-stage demon beasts hiding in the sea near Purple Bamboo Island, controlling lower-level demon beasts, saw eighth- and ninth-stage demon beasts looking this way and hurriedly fled one by one.

Hao Ren felt a chill run down his spine when he was locked onto by those eighth- and ninth-stage demon beasts.

A sixth-stage snow lion equated to the middle-stage Core Formation Realm, so an eighth or ninth stage would be...

Just as these eighth- and ninth-stage demon beasts were about to fly towards Hao Ren, a faint light emitted from the necklace around his neck.

The higher-level demon beasts seemed to see something even more terrifying than heavenly lightning. They all trembled in fear and turned tail to run.

"Dare you cause trouble on the territory of the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace"

With a loud bang, Zhao Kuo in the gray robe broke through three layers of crossbeams and charged into the air from inside the palace.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh...

1280 sword beams spread out in all directions.

The demon beasts still challenging heavenly lightning were all pierced by the sword beams, falling咚咚咚咚into the deep sea with a splash.

And those hiding in the seawater could not escape either. The sword beams penetrated through the water, piercing holes in their bodies.

Bang

The 1280 sword beams responded to each other and exploded into an enormous water wall with a radius of hundreds of miles. to send her back home. The boys even came over to push Hao Ren.This strong public opinion left Hao Ren with no choice but to get off the bus. However, he was indeed prepared to accompany Xie Yujia to...
