Chapter 31: Outer Hall Shows Its Power

  There are two more hours, and it will be a new week. Brothers and sisters, please give me more power next week, I am currently in eighth place, I want to make progress! To brothers and sisters who have not slept after midnight, please vote for me! Thank you! Thank you again!

  At this time, the advantages of inner disciples are revealed. The lowest cultivation level of an inner disciple is also the first layer of the Qi Refining stage. You should know that only Qi Refining stage disciples can release techniques, while later-stage disciples, no matter how many layers they cultivate to, even if it's the peak of the 12th layer of the later stage, cannot release any techniques.

  So when the inner disciples reacted, they immediately released various techniques and intercepted most of the demon beasts, leaving only five heads for the outer disciples.

  At this time, Xu Ziyuan also returned to the side of the outer disciples. She didn't want to show off her strength in front of the inner disciples, and she wasn't confident about those outer disciples either. She hoped that by being there herself, she could reduce their casualties.

  As expected, the remaining nine outer sect disciples rushed towards the demon beast. Having never encountered a demon beast before, they were flustered and disorganized, with no coordination between them, only knowing to wield their long swords and hack at the demon beast wildly.

  Moreover, what's even more fatal is that these new disciples not only didn't coordinate with each other, but also had no protective awareness towards themselves. The training they received in the family earlier was already washed away by their hot blood. Just as Xu Ziyuan ran over from afar, she saw Xu Tie Niu being slapped flying by a demon beast, his body flying towards Xu Ziyuan.

  Xu Ziyuan hastily stretched out a hand to catch Xu Tienniu, and saw that Xu Tienniu's shoulder had been clawed by the demon beast, with a large chunk of flesh torn off, leaving his entire shoulder covered in blood. The other new disciples who saw Xu Tienniu's appearance were instantly frightened, their courage completely gone, unlike earlier when they had charged forward knowing only how to attack, now they knew only how to defend. As a result, they posed no threat to the demon beast, allowing the five demon beasts to attack them freely, and in an instant they were at a complete disadvantage.

  As she watched another person get hurt, Xu Ziyuan could no longer care about Xu Tie Niu and put him down. With a swift movement, she leaped towards Xu Li. At this moment, a Wind Wolf slapped away the long sword in Xu Li's hand with its paw, revealing its ferocious teeth as it bit towards her throat. The long sword in Xu Li's hand had been completely knocked away by the Wind Wolf's paw, leaving her defenseless. As she watched the Wind Wolf's bloody mouth rapidly enlarging before her eyes, Xu Li's heart turned cold and she closed her eyes in despair.

  Suddenly a piercing cold wind swept past Xu Li's neck, and a long sword suddenly appeared beside Xu Li's neck, swiftly like a flash of lightning, stabbing into the throat of the Wind Wolf.

  Xu Ziyanyan knew that Xu Li was not injured, and the situation was critical at this time, so she didn't care about Xu Li who was still closing her eyes there. She drew out a long sword in one go, and rushed towards another demon beast, shouting loudly:

  "Don't just defend, form an array!"

  "Hmph!"

  A stream of fresh blood spurted from the throat of the swift wolf and splashed onto Xu Li's face.

  "Ah..."

  Xu Lixiang let out a shrill cry, but those new disciples who heard Xu Ziyuan's shout suddenly seemed to have gained a leader and their reactions immediately quickened. They quickly formed an array and began to coordinate with each other.

  But once they had the seven new disciples working together, they immediately gained the upper hand against the four demon beasts. And when Xu Ziyuan joined in, the four demon beasts were no match for them. Soon, under Xu Ziyuan's leadership, they killed the four demon beasts. Looking at the four demon beasts lying on the ground, the seven new disciples fell silent for a moment before suddenly jumping up excitedly and cheering loudly.

  At this time, Xu Lihua, who had come to her senses from the shadow of death, also ran over. And Xu Tie Niu was indeed worthy of his name "Iron Bull". Although he had suffered a severe injury on his left shoulder, after some simple treatment, he also ran over, excitedly celebrating.

  Xu Ziyuan did not join in the celebration with them, instead she cast her gaze towards the inner sect disciples. The inner sect disciples had only sent over five demon beasts to block more than forty of them. Although they were at the Qi Refining stage, on average each person still had to deal with four or more demon beasts, which was a very strenuous task.

  Although they had killed several of the demonic beasts, they were also severely depleted and gradually showed signs of collapse. Xu Ziyuan took one look and immediately shouted at the new disciples beside her:

  "Form up!"

  Those nine new disciples, although they didn't understand why they still needed to form an array when there were no more demonic beasts, still listened and quickly formed the array. Then they looked towards Xu Ziyuan. Xu Ziyuan saw that the disciples had quickly formed the array and nodded in satisfaction. He then turned his head towards the inner sect disciples and shouted loudly:

  "Inner sect senior brother, send five more demonic beasts over."

  The disciples of the inner hall were still concentrating their spirits to deal with the demon beasts, unaware that the outer hall disciples had already eliminated those five demon beasts. At this time, they heard Xu Ziyuan's loud shout and hastily turned their heads to take a look. When they found out that the outer hall disciples had actually killed the five demon beasts so quickly, they were both surprised and extremely delighted in their hearts. At this moment, they were feeling more and more pressure from the demon beasts, seeing this scene, someone immediately excitedly shouted:

  "Good job, brother of the outer court!"

  "Our elder sister from outside is also great!"

  Xu Li loudly shouted towards the inner disciples, and upon hearing this, the inner disciples couldn't help but burst into loud laughter.

  "Right! And sisters are even better!"

  With the help of his cousin, the disciples in the inner hall felt a great sense of relief. The leader of the inner hall's disciples, Xu Jin, shouted loudly:

  "Brothers of the outer hall, be careful, we are going to release the demonic beast."

  As soon as the words fell, the tight defense formation of the disciples in the inner hall suddenly opened up a gap, and five fierce demon beasts rushed out from inside.

  "Up!"

  Xu Ziyanyan let out a loud shout, and the disciples of Zhongwai Hall immediately sprang into action. With swift movements, they quickly trapped the five demonic beasts within the formation. Having gained experience from their previous battle against the demonic beast, everyone was more skilled this time around. Moreover, there were nine people this time, and Xu Ziyanyan had joined in from the very beginning. Although Xu Ziyanyan's cultivation was controlled at the eighth layer of the Post-Heavenly stage, her attack power was absolutely not comparable to that of the eighth layer. In just a short moment, the five demonic beasts were killed one after another by them.

  Before Xu Ziyuan could speak, Xu Li proudly shouted loudly towards the disciples in the inner hall:

  "Senior brothers in the inner hall, send over five more demon beasts!"

  The disciples of the inner hall were shocked in their hearts, thinking that it couldn't be, the outer hall's disciples were so fierce and had solved the five demon beasts so quickly. But when they turned back to see the corpses of the five demon beasts on the ground, they were even more shocked.

  "Let go!"

  Xu Jin let out a loud shout, and immediately five more demonic beasts were released. After the gap was closed, Xu Jin shouted loudly:

  "Come on, brothers in the inner courtyard, don't let those in the outer courtyard outdo you!"
