"Sixth-order magic, Sky-Splitting Fire Net."

  The moment he saw this terrifying magic, Thorn shouted out in horror.

  Both of their faces turned extremely ugly.

  "Sixth-order. These bastards have really played all their trump cards. Even a sixth-order great magician has shown up." Thorn cursed angrily.

  It was no wonder. A sixth-order great magician was just one step away from the truly transformed seventh-order. They were already top figures. Although they couldn't compare with even more powerful apostles, in a mercenary group like the Snow Goose, they were already existences that people had to look up to.

  "You should be glad that it's a sixth-order magician instead of a sixth-order fighter." Chen Yue smiled calmly and added, "And he's of the fire element."

  To be honest, although this magic was powerful, Chen Yue had witnessed the battle between Vinia and Klesnor. Compared with that kind of power that could move mountains and seas with a wave of a hand, this sixth-order magic was nothing. Therefore, he quickly adjusted his state of mind.

  Not to mention that in the extremely cold environment of the Ace Mountains, the strength of a sixth-order fire-element great magician would be greatly suppressed.

  Hearing what he said, Thorn's face looked a bit better.

  At this time, the power of the Sky-Splitting Fire Net had been unleashed. Countless fireballs the size of footballs fell from the sky. The blazing fireballs melted the ground before even touching it. Innumerable water vapors rose up, making that area look like a fairyland.

  However, on the ground, it was like hell. Countless magical beasts couldn't avoid it in time and were hit by the fireballs, leaving not a single hair behind. Even those who luckily escaped the fireball attacks were just lingering on their last breath and soon fell on the snowfield that had turned into a sea of fire.

  When dealing with a highly concentrated group of low-level magical beasts, the power of magic was far stronger than that of fighting spirit, let alone high-level magic. The magical beast group that had been so fierce just a moment ago was instantly routed under this wave of magic attacks, with countless casualties.

  Looking indifferently at the purgatory over there, Chen Yue shrugged, with an indescribably relaxed look: "This farce should come to an end soon. I'll go and recall my summoned beast first. Thorn, you go and meet up with them. By the way, take a message to them. If they don't want to attract those fifth-order or even sixth-order magical beasts, they'd better stop while they're ahead."

  After saying that, he stepped into the darkness without looking back. Two meters behind him, the Blade Beast followed him like the most devoted companion, like a shadow.

  "Sixth-order magical beasts?" Recalling the words Chen Yue had left behind, Thorn suddenly shivered all over. This was the Ace Mountains, the world of magical beasts. Launching such a terrifying magic in their territory was simply blatant provocation.

  Just think about it. Chen Yue's summoned beast could drive such a huge group of magical beasts. If high-level magical beasts were really attracted, probably all the humans still staying in the Ace Mountains would be slaughtered.

  Thinking of this, he didn't dare to delay and plunged into the darkness with a flash of his body.

  Taking advantage of the faint moonlight and the red light all over the sky, Chen Yue walked slowly on the snowfield and quickly headed towards the direction where the Ice Rabbit was.

  He could sense that there seemed to be some trouble over there.

  The people in the Snow Goose Mercenary Group knew that the leader of the magical beasts was the Ice Rabbit. Now that they had the upper hand, those people might not let it go.

  Thinking of this, Chen Yue pursed his lips slightly, and a faint murderous intent spread from his body.

  Magical beasts running around in panic could be seen everywhere. The closer he got to the Ice Rabbit, the more there were. At first, these flustered magical beasts were either eager to escape or were intimidated by the murderous intent emanating from him, and none of them took the initiative to cause trouble for him. However, the closer he got, some magical beasts whose ferocity in their blood had been aroused by the Sky-Splitting Fire Net rushed towards him, desperately trying to stop him from passing.

  It seemed that he couldn't quickly recall the Ice Rabbit.

  With a silent sigh, Chen Yue stretched out his right hand. Sensing his intention, the Blade Beast automatically flew into his hand.

  Clenching his five fingers tightly, Chen Yue straightened his body. In the next moment, a murderous intent as solid as substance burst out from his body and rushed straight towards the magical beasts blocking the way.

  With an extremely fierce momentum gushing out, Chen Yue instantly slashed out with his sword. The Blade Beast, with a faint red glow, cut through the air along a cold trajectory and struck the leading magical beast.

  Without any hindrance, the Blade Beast cut it in half.

  Instant kill!

  Without the slightest pause, in the blink of an eye, Chen Yue slashed out several more sword marks.

  Instant kill! Instant kill! Instant kill...

  Without exception, as long as the magical beasts were slashed by the Blade Beast, the only result was death on the spot.

  Chen Yue's spirits were greatly lifted. Facts had proved that the Blade Beast indeed had the ability of instant kill. Although he didn't know its limit, just this ability was already extremely abnormal.

  No magical beast could withstand a single strike from the Blade Beast. Although there were quite a number of magical beasts, in Chen Yue's eyes, they were nothing. He fought his way through all the way, and no magical beast could stop him for a moment. Whether it was second-order or third-order, whether it was a familiar or unfamiliar magical beast, they all fell under the sharp edge of the Blade Beast, and Chen Yue directly cut a bloody path for himself.

  Holding the Blade Beast that was not stained with a single drop of blood, Chen Yue was like a demon god emerging from hell. Coupled with his murderous intent that was almost tangible, he killed whoever stood in his way, whether they were gods or demons. Finally, these magical beasts that acted purely on instinct were scared and no longer dared to block his steps.

  This tale has been unlawfully obtained from Royal Road. If you discover it on Amazon, kindly report it.

  If someone were standing at a high place at this moment, they would be able to see a very strange scene. In the dense group of magical beasts, the young man holding the sharp sword was like entering an uninhabited land. Wherever he went, the magical beasts immediately made way for him in a hurry. The two sides advanced and retreated as if they had agreed in advance.

  Chen Yue didn't care at all about the magical beasts' retreat. He just walked slowly forward. When he encountered magical beasts that didn't have time to retreat, he casually slashed with his sword, without any fierceness of battle at all. This was simply a massacre.

  "Clang." There was a clear sound of collision, as if the sword had struck an iron stone. This time, the Blade Beast failed to cut the opponent into two pieces smoothly, and at the same time, it announced the end of the instant kill myth.

  After killing for a long time, finally a decent opponent appeared.

  Chen Yue raised his eyebrows slightly. He wasn't surprised at all by this result. It was just a dream to say that a two-star summoned beast could instant kill everything.

  The one that blocked Chen Yue's strike was a giant ape as tall as two people. Its skin faintly showed a metallic luster. At this time, it was staring at Chen Yue angrily.

  "Rammor Giant Ape." Chen Yue's body trembled. The moment he saw the giant ape, he recognized its species. It was a fifth-order magical beast! It was extremely powerful and had the auxiliary magic of "Skin Metallization" as its natural talent. It was the most powerful magical beast in the outer area of the Ace Mountains. Even when facing a sixth-order human professional, it was not much inferior. Before, Chen Yue and the Ice Rabbit had been chased by it to the point where they had no way to escape.

  Not to mention that he hadn't recovered to his best state yet. Even if he had, he would probably have to run away when facing this giant ape.

  He didn't expect that it had been alarmed. It seemed that the impact caused by that sixth-order magic was too bad. Probably all the fifth-order magical beasts in the outer area had already rushed over or were on their way. Now Chen Yue only hoped that the sixth-order magical beasts in the core area wouldn't be alarmed. Otherwise, probably everyone, including the great magician who cast the sixth-order magic, would have to run for their lives immediately.

  It could be said that the original troublemaker, the Ice Rabbit, was no longer important because stronger magical beasts had already appeared. No wonder these magical beasts didn't run away even though they were being killed so brutally.

  This was a good thing, but Chen Yue wasn't happy at all because for these fifth-order magical beasts, summoned beasts were also enemies.

  The Rammor Giant Ape seemed to remember Chen Yue very clearly. As soon as it arrived, it "enthusiastically" came to meet him. Who knew that Chen Yue welcomed it in an even "more enthusiastic" way.

  Chen Yue noticed that there was a clear and fresh scratch on the right leg of the giant ape. Obviously, it was the result of the Blade Beast's strike just now. Although it didn't cut into the flesh, it had cut through its iron-like skin. You should know that before, it was extremely difficult to even cut off its hair when its skin was metallized, let alone hurt it. It could be seen that the ability of the Blade Beast was terrifying and not completely ineffective.

  Both old and new grudges surged up together.

  "Roar."

  The giant ape raised its head to the sky and let out an earth-shaking roar. The nearby magical beasts all crouched down, lying on the ground, not daring to move at all, expressing their submission in a frightened way.

  Corresponding to it, three more roars rang out, either near or far. They were the other three fifth-order magical beasts in the outer area. Two of the responses sounded rather far away, so those two fifth-order magical beasts should still be on their way. As for the other response, it was in the nearby group of magical beasts.

  Chen Yue's heart tightened. If his perception was correct, that response was very close to the Ice Rabbit.

  With the declarative roars of these four kings, thousands of magical beasts were mobilized. Countless magical beasts accepted the summons and came out from every corner of the outer area, launching a desperate attack on the nearby human adventurers.

  Staring fiercely at Chen Yue, the Rammor Giant Ape didn't launch an attack immediately. Its big eyes like copper bells carefully scanned the surrounding corners first. You should know that it had suffered from the freezing air of the Ice Rabbit before. This ability that ignored defense could even freeze it for a moment. Last time, Chen Yue and the Ice Rabbit had escaped after playing hide-and-seek with it for a long time by relying on this trick. It didn't want to repeat the same mistake.

  After confirming that the cunning rabbit wasn't around, the giant ape opened its big mouth and let out a few strange laughs. Then it flipped its giant palm and pressed it down towards Chen Yue's head.

  Before the palm even touched him, the huge momentum had already created tremendous pressure.

  Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Yue turned around and ran. He didn't even have the slightest interest in trying. The giant ape's palm struck empty. With a deafening bang, the snow flew everywhere, and a big pit appeared on the snowfield. It could be seen how powerful this giant ape was.

  The Rammor Giant Ape was flipped over by the recoil from the ground, but it immediately got up without caring at all. Obviously, it was completely fine.

  In just this instant, Chen Yue had already escaped more than ten meters. The giant ape roared and chased after him furiously. However, it had started quite late, and it couldn't catch up for a while.

  Chen Yue didn't take a straight line either. Instead, he turned left, right, or cut diagonally from time to time, with all kinds of maneuvers. With the control ability he had trained in the purgatory difficulty, it was easy for him to change directions. On the contrary, although the giant ape was much faster than Chen Yue, it was quite difficult for it to control its direction. Often, it had to rush forward a long way before it could slow down to turn. As a result, a stalemate situation was maintained.

  Seemingly very dissatisfied with Chen Yue's act of running away without fighting, the Blade Beast vibrated gently, and the strange red glow on the blade appeared and disappeared from time to time. This was naturally not a sign of satisfaction. But Chen Yue wasn't stupid enough to turn around and fight the Rammor Giant Ape head-on just to satisfy it. That would be simply courting death. Anyway, he didn't need the Blade Beast to participate in the battle next, so he simply put it back into the subspace.

  After several consecutive times of being narrowly escaped by Chen Yue, the giant ape was extremely angry and gradually lost its sanity. There was only the thought of catching Chen Yue left in its mind, and it didn't care what was in front of it anymore. It was like a heavy tank, rampaging through the group of magical beasts. God knows how many low-level magical beasts didn't die under the sixth-order magic or the instant kill of the Blade Beast but were crushed to death by their leader instead.

  Wherever the man and the beast went, chaos immediately reached its peak. If it weren't for Chen Yue's excellent control ability, he would definitely have been caught up by the Rammor Giant Ape behind him because of crashing into the panicked magical beasts.

  Seeing that he had provoked it enough, a smile appeared at the corner of Chen Yue's mouth. He led the roaring giant ape towards the position where the Ice Rabbit was.
