With a soft "whoosh", the sharp arrow, with the force of breaking through the wind, shot straight at the high - level demon beast.
All the judges subconsciously tensed their bodies and stared intently at the picture in the mysterious mirror.
Just as Xu Yufang had expected, the tip of the arrow suddenly stopped the moment it touched the demon beast's fur.
All the members of the Beast - Taming Department showed smug smiles on their faces. [This Yu Nian is nothing special! The demon - beast army is not to be trifled with!]
While feeling regretful, Xue Jinyan also let out a sigh of relief.
"It seems that little friend Yu Nian made a mistake this time. But it's normal. At her age, being able to reach this stage is already unprecedented..."
Grandpa Fu's eyes also dimmed. Could it be that he had misunderstood?
While everyone was sighing, a very crisp explosion sound came from nowhere, and the chairs under the judges' bodies suddenly shook.
"Is... is it an earthquake?!"
Xu Yufang's gaze fell on the mysterious mirror, and she suddenly widened her eyes. "This is impossible?!"
A giant, glittering spark suddenly exploded among the beast horde. In the flames, the original single arrow split into three and accurately hit three high - level demon beasts.
After heart - rending roars, the high - level demon beasts didn't even have a chance to struggle before they fell straight to the ground and scattered with the wind.
With the leader of the beast horde gone, the low - level demon beasts were immediately panicked. They scurried around like headless flies and rushed into the mountain forest beside the mountain path.
The people of the Beast - Taming Department were all stunned. The minister was the first to react and let out a painful howl.
[My Four - Pupil Spiritual Fox, Blood - Jade Spider, and Golden - Horned Giant Beast!!] Were they really killed by Yu Nian's single arrow?!
The Monster - Hunting Department was enjoying the show with relish, munching on melon seeds and adding, [Moreover, the other demon beasts of your department have also scattered and fallen into the spatial crevices of the formation.]
[Who would have thought that the demon - beast formation that the Beast - Taming Department has always been proud of would be broken up by just three arrows! It crumbled without a fight!]
...
Yu Nian nimbly leaped down from the tree. Her white clothes fluttered in the gentle breeze, looking extremely lively.
She flipped her palm slightly, and the dazzling curved bow instantly disappeared.
At this moment, only five demon beasts remained on the vast plain. They roared angrily but hesitated to step forward because of their fear of Yu Nian.
Yu Nian stared at the demon beasts in front of her and nodded slightly. "There are actually a few demon beasts with spiritual intelligence left... It's getting late. Don't hesitate anymore. Come at me all at once!"
The demon beasts let out a few low growls from their throats and were about to pounce on Yu Nian with their scarlet eyes.
The demon beasts were extremely huge. As they ran, their sharp claws picked up several pieces of gravel and dust. Clouds of dust rose, and the entire plain shook violently.
Zhong Yaya's pupils shrank, and she shouted, "Niannian, be careful! The amulet can't withstand the attacks of the demon beasts. Quickly get out of the way!"
Just as the demon beasts were about to ram into Yu Nian, Yu Nian suddenly opened her closed eyes. She was extremely relaxed all over. As her thin lips moved, she uttered two incantations.
Zhong Yaya's heart was in her throat. She couldn't bear to watch anymore and turned her head away.
A few seconds later, instead of the expected scream, she heard several heavy objects hitting the ground one after another.
She hesitantly opened her eyes.
She saw a very powerful white mist firmly enveloping Yu Nian. Vaguely, it was like a giant python winding around, irresistible.
The demon beasts rolled to the ground. As if greatly frightened, they cowered on the ground and didn't dare to move anymore.
"This is... the protection of the family spirit?!", Xue Jinyan suddenly stood up in disbelief.
Such powerful supernatural powers, agile moves, and a family spirit with profound cultivation...
Xue Jinyan suddenly realized that the previous competitions were just child's play for Yu Nian.
If Yu Nian used all her strength, there might be no one in this arena who could be her match.
This was simply a comprehensive dimensionality - reduction strike!
Xu Yufang also slowly came to her senses. "Little friend Yu Nian really has a lot of surprises! I'm becoming more and more looking forward to her next performance!"
Yu Nian took out her Qiankun bag and neatly put away the few demon beasts. Then she said to Luo Zhi and Zhong Yaya, who were still in a daze on the spot, "Let's go."
The fox spirit on Luo Zhi's body felt the powerful demonic aura of Liu Mo and took a few steps back fearfully.
Luo Zhi quickly comforted her family spirit and then looked at Yu Nian in disbelief. "Niannian, you also have a family spirit..."
Luo Zhi's fox spirit was passed down from her ancestors, and by her generation, it only had a few hundred years of cultivation.
With this fox spirit, Luo Zhi was already a top - notch figure among her peers.
But Yu Nian's family spirit's cultivation was so profound that it could make all the demons afraid and protect her with its aura!
The members of the Beast - Taming Department were all shocked at this moment. They stiffly picked up their walkie - talkies, and their voices were even a little trembling.
[Contestant Yu Nian has passed the level of the Beast - Taming Department, taking the time of one incense stick...]
No one had expected that this little - known disciple of a small sect would stir up a hornet's nest among all the department staff backstage.
The walkie - talkies rang one after another, and everyone was betting on which department would be wiped out by Yu Nian in the shortest time.
Soon, Yu Nian came to the last level - the Mist Formation. This was also the most difficult level in the Eight - Trigram Formation. As the saying goes, the Taiji gives birth to the two forms, the two forms give birth to the four images, the four images give birth to the eight trigrams, and the eight trigrams change into sixty - four hexagrams.
Endless cycles, infinite changes.
Different from the previous levels, there was no one guarding this level. All people could see was an ordinary wooden door.
Zhong Yaya took a look inside the formation gate and only saw a winding and endless path. The surrounding was covered in thick white fog. There seemed to be many hard objects placed in the fog, constantly glinting in the sunlight, like mirrors.
"It doesn't seem that scary..."
Zhong Yaya was a little confused. Just as she was about to walk in, Yu Nian suddenly grabbed her arm.
"Wait."
Yu Nian casually picked up a branch from the ground and threw it into the formation gate.
The next moment, several crisp cracking sounds were heard. The tree branch disappeared, and a pile of gray powder drifted down.
Zhong Yaya turned pale with fright. If she had rushed in rashly just now, she would have ended up like the tree branch.
Seeing the three of them silent, the staff backstage of the arena kindled new hope.
The members of the Formation Department were smiling from ear to ear. [You're welcome. I'm not boasting. My formation is extremely complex. Even the elders of powerful sects with great supernatural powers would get lost in it for half a day!]
The members of the Beast - Taming Department whined, [I hope you won't be slapped in the face.]
The Formation Department:..........
Yu Nian cast a spell and slowly walked into the formation gate with Zhong Yaya and Luo Zhi.
With a soft "creak", the formation gate closed tightly, not letting out a single ray of light.
The originally empty and silent surroundings immediately became noisy. Vaguely, it seemed that many people were talking.
