Doupo: Marry a Young Doctor and Be Rewarded with Douhuang Cultivation

186: Fighting the beast tide alone!After resolving the troubles with the Hun Clan and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan, Xiao Ze turned to look at Xiao Yan and Xun’er, his tone calm but filled with reassuring power: ”The Demonic Beast tide is ahead. There’s no need to wait for others; we’ll go alone.”

Gu Qingyang immediately nodded upon hearing this. He was well aware that with Xiao Ze present, there was no need to rely on any Alliance.

Those so-called ”joint efforts” were merely weaklings clinging together, and for Xiao Ze, they would only be a burden.

Xiao Yan also had no objections. He had witnessed Hun Yu’s schemes earlier, and rather than traveling with a group of people with ulterior motives, it was better to follow Xiao Ze with peace of mind.

The group quickly gathered. With Xiao Ze in front, Xun’er, Xiao Yan, Cai Lin, and others followed closely. Several Elders of the Gu Clan protected them on both sides. The group of over a dozen people ascended into the sky, flying towards the direction of the Demonic Beast tide north of the Ancient Domain Tablet.

The other forces in the square below, seeing this, cast astonished gazes.

They were still bickering over an Alliance, yet Xiao Ze was actually acting alone?

But recalling Xiao Ze’s ruthlessness in instantly killing a Half-Saint just now, no one dared to step forward to stop him. They even lowered their voices when discussing, only daring to watch from afar as that green-robed figure flew further and further away.

A hundred li was not a long distance for a Dou Zun expert. With Xiao Ze secretly protecting them, their flying speed was even faster. In just a quarter of an hour, an endless black plain appeared in their field of vision.

As far as the eye could see, black clouds covered the plain, and countless Vicious Beasts were densely packed together, like a moving black tide.

Huge Iron-Armored Bears pounded the ground with their giant claws, winged Demonic Eagles circled at low altitude, and venomous pythons several zhang long weaved through the beast horde. The violent roars made the air tremble, and a pungent, foul smell could be detected from afar.

”This scale... it’s even more terrifying than rumored.”

Xiao Yan couldn’t help but frown. Even though he had seen many grand spectacles, he was still shocked by the Demonic Beast tide before him.

There were no less than a hundred Dou Zong-level Vicious Beasts that he could sense, and several Dou Zun-level Qi could also be vaguely detected.

Yet, Xiao Ze remained calm. His gaze swept over the Demonic Beast tide, and he said lightly: ”They are merely some unintelligent beasts. Follow me; there’s no need to act.”

As soon as his voice fell, a faint golden halo suddenly emanated from his body.

It was the prototype (rudimentary form) of Dou Sheng’s pressure, not deliberately unleashed, but like an invisible barrier, protecting everyone within it.

Immediately after, Xiao Ze led the way, flying towards the Demonic Beast tide, his speed increasing rather than decreasing.

The Vicious Beast horde below was the first to notice the anomaly. Several Demonic Eagles closest to the outermost perimeter were the first to rush up, their sharp claws gleaming with cold light, clearly intending to tear apart this prey that had delivered itself to them.

But as soon as they flew within ten zhang of Xiao Ze, they seemed to hit an invisible wall. The golden halo flickered slightly, and the several Demonic Eagles instantly stiffened, then fell straight from the sky. By the time they hit the ground, they had already lost their Qi.

This scene made everyone behind him hold their breath.

There was no earth-shattering Dou Qi eruption, nor did Xiao Ze even raise his hand. He merely relied on his Qi to kill Dou Zong-level Vicious Beasts? This was the true strength of a Seven-Star Dou Sheng!

As they advanced, more and more Vicious Beasts were alarmed. Some Iron-Armored Bears swung their giant claws, some venomous pythons opened their huge mouths to spray venom, and swarms of Demonic Wolves leaped from the ground, attempting to intercept the group.

But no matter what kind of Vicious Beast it was, as long as it came within ten zhang of Xiao Ze, it would be killed by the invisible pressure. Either it died on the spot, or it twitched a few times after hitting the ground and then went silent.

Wherever the golden halo passed, the Vicious Beasts retreated as if ice encountering a raging fire. The originally frenzied Demonic Beast tide was actually forced to part, creating a path.

Those weaker Vicious Beasts didn’t even dare to look up at Xiao Ze in the sky, only daring to cower on the ground, not even daring to let out a roar.

”The suppression of a Dou Sheng over Vicious Beasts has reached such a degree...” Gu Qingyang murmured, his eyes filled with awe. He had heard that a Dou Sheng could intimidate low-level Demonic Beasts, but he never expected that even Dou Zun-level Vicious Beasts would be so fearful.

Xiao Yan also felt a surge of emotion. He could clearly feel that Xiao Ze’s pressure was not an indiscriminate attack; it only targeted hostile Vicious Beasts. Those Vicious Beasts cowering on the ground were spared their lives.

This kind of precise control, able to be unleashed and retracted at will, was more awe-inspiring than a mere burst of power.

Everyone followed behind Xiao Ze, hardly needing to lift a finger; they only needed to keep flying.

Occasionally, a few Dou Zun-level Vicious Beasts, unaware of their impending doom, tried to break through the pressure and attack, but they were instantly pierced through the head by a casual golden Qi energy from Xiao Ze, not even getting a chance to get close.

Along the way, they also encountered several waves of Alliance teams that had set off earlier.

Those people were in a bitter struggle. Many experts were entangled by Vicious Beasts, their bodies covered in wounds, and some were even knocked down by the beast horde, their screams instantly drowned out by roars.

The team’s advance was extremely slow. The original team of over a thousand people now had less than a hundred remaining, still struggling to hold on.

When they saw Xiao Ze’s group pass through the Demonic Beast tide as if strolling in a garden, with the Vicious Beasts not even daring to approach, everyone was stunned, their combat movements slowing by half a beat.

”Is that... Xiao Ze?” Someone recognized the green-robed figure, his voice filled with disbelief.

”He can actually pass directly through the Demonic Beast tide? Why aren’t the Vicious Beasts attacking him?”

Envy, shock, unwillingness... various emotions flashed in the eyes of the survivors, but no one dared to step forward to ask for help.

Xiao Ze’s ruthlessness in instantly killing the Hun Clan and the Heavenly Demon Phoenix Clan was still fresh in their minds, and they weren’t sure if this Dou Sheng would help them.

Xiao Ze ignored them, continuing to lead the group steadily forward.

To him, these people had willingly followed Hun Yu to scheme against others, and their current predicament was their own doing; there was no need to save them.

After an unknown amount of time, the Vicious Beasts ahead gradually thinned out. At the end of the black plain, an area enveloped in a faint green halo appeared in their field of vision.

Vaguely, the outline of a towering ancient tree could be seen deep within the halo, with pure energy flowing between its branches and leaves. This was precisely the target of their journey.

The Bodhi Ancient Tree.

Xiao Ze stopped, turned to look at everyone: ”Ahead is the range of the Bodhi Ancient Tree. The Demonic Beast tide can no longer stop us.”

Everyone looked at the green halo, their eyes filled with joy.

They had originally expected a fierce battle, but to their surprise, under Xiao Ze’s leadership, they had passed through the Demonic Beast tide so easily, not even encountering any decent resistance.

Xun’er gazed at Xiao Ze’s back and said softly: ”Brother Xiao Ze, we owe you a great deal this time.”

If not for Xiao Ze, even if they could break through the Demonic Beast tide, they would probably have to pay a considerable price.

Xiao Ze nodded slightly, his gaze falling on the Bodhi Ancient Tree, a hint of understanding flashing in his eyes: ”There are ancient Restrictions around this Bodhi Ancient Tree. Be careful after entering, and don’t touch anything inside randomly.”

After speaking, he was the first to fly towards the green halo, and everyone quickly followed.

The true Opportunity was right before their eyes; no one wanted to fall behind.
