A beast about ten feet tall was charging madly towards where Su Tong and the others were.
"A first grade Hua Qi beast?"
Elder Fei Jing's expression was also rather solemn.
Her own strength was at the first grade Hua Qi level.
This was supposed to be just a forest for training, where no Hua Qi level beasts had been discovered for many years.
That was why she had brought the disciples here to train with complete confidence.
But she did not expect to encounter a beast with Hua Qi level strength on just the first day.
Even Elder Fei Jing had to go all out.
"Hua Qi?"
Su Tong looked at the beast curiously.
He did not expect there would actually be a beast here that had entered the Hua Qi realm.
Hearing Elder Fei Jing's words, the other disciples were also shocked.
But they were not too afraid.
After all, Elder Fei Jing herself had first grade Hua Qi level strength.
And she had many methods and cultivated many spiritual techniques, so she should have good odds against it.
So these disciples were not too worried.
Some were even eager to watch a fight between a Hua Qi level expert and a Hua Qi level beast.
They could benefit tremendously from it.
But this excitement did not last long.
"Roar!"
At this moment, the roar of another beast could be heard.
"This...is another first grade Hua Qi beast?"
Seeing the appearance of the second beast, Elder Fei Jing's expression became terribly gloomy.
She was confident she could handle one first grade Hua Qi beast.
But two first grade Hua Qi beasts, Elder Fei Jing had no confidence at all.
"Another Hua Qi beast?"
"How is that possible?"
"Two Hua Qi beasts?"
"How could this be? Weren't there only beasts at the Chuan Ti and Lian Jing realms?"
When they saw the second Hua Qi beast, the disciples of Chi Hong Sect changed expressions.
Could Elder Fei Jing handle two Hua Qi beasts?
"Lian Jing realm disciples, listen up! Do your utmost to delay one Hua Qi beast. I will swiftly deal with the other one!"
Facing two first grade Hua Qi beasts, Elder Fei Jing did not dare underestimate them.
"Yes!"
At this time, those disciples at the Lian Jing realm, including Gu Ziyan, Liu Yiyang, and Ji Shiyu, had solemn expressions on their faces.
Although among the Chi Hong Sect disciples, their strength was considered high.
But after all, they were only at the Lian Jing realm. Facing a Hua Qi beast, they had no chance of winning at all.
"Roar!"
Just as everyone was preparing to fight, another roar rang out.
Soon, a third beast with first grade Hua Qi level strength appeared.
This time, everyone's hearts thudded.
"Three first grade Hua Qi beasts?"
Even Elder Fei Jing's face was now ashen.
She was confident she could handle one first grade Hua Qi beast.
Two, she could have the Lian Jing realm disciples deal with.
But three, Elder Fei Jing had absolutely no chance.
And when this third Hua Qi beast appeared,
The Chi Hong Sect disciples' faces were also filled with despair.
"Three first grade Hua Qi beasts?"
Su Tong's eyebrows furrowed slightly as he looked at the three beasts before him.
He had not expected there would actually be three hidden first grade Hua Qi beasts in this forest.
"Elder, what should we do now?" Gu Ziyan asked.
He knew as well that three first grade Hua Qi beasts were absolutely not something they could handle.
"I will...desperately try to delay them. You take the other disciples and swiftly leave the forest!"
Elder Fei Jing spoke at this time.
This was all they could do now.
Against three first grade Hua Qi beasts alone, she definitely could not win. She would likely perish here today.
But the other disciples were the lifeblood of Chi Hong Sect, they had to escape.
"Elder, let me stay behind to help delay them! Although my strength is lacking, I can still delay one for a period of time."
At this moment, Ji Shiyu spoke up.
She also knew Elder Fei Jing had no way to handle three first grade Hua Qi beasts.
Staying behind was very dangerous.
"Elder, we'll stay behind too!"
Hearing Ji Shiyu's words, Gu Ziyan and Liu Yiyang also spoke up.
Although their strengths were below Ji Shiyu's, working together they could still delay one beast for some time.
"Foolishness! You are the future of Chi Hong Sect, hurry and take the other disciples to escape. I will delay them. If you're fast enough, you may be able to bring back reinforcements for me!"
Gu Ziyan, Liu Yiyang and Ji Shiyu were disciples with extremely high talent in Chi Hong Sect.
They absolutely could not remain here.
"Elder!"
The three were clearly unwilling to leave.
"Go quickly!"
Elder Fei Jing shouted sternly.
"Such a moving scene!"
At this moment, an untimely voice slowly rang out.
Hearing this, everyone looked over angrily, only to see Su Tong eating spiritual fruits at the side.
"Elder Su Tong, this is no trivial matter. Please take the other disciples and leave swiftly!"
At this time, Elder Fei Jing and the others finally remembered there was another elder present, Su Tong.
But Su Tong was only at the Lian Jing realm, far from enough to handle these first grade Hua Qi beasts.
"Why leave? Just three Hua Qi beasts."
Su Tong spoke calmly.
Hearing this, the others were also angry.
Elder Fei suppressed her anger and slowly spoke, "Elder Su Tong, I know you have extreme perceptivity, but these are Hua Qi beasts. For the disciples' safety, please hurry and take them away!"
Gu Ziyan, Liu Yiyang and Ji Shiyu also frowned at Su Tong.
"If you want to leave, leave. These three beasts will be good for my practice!"
Su Tong gave a cold laugh.
Then he took a step forward, walking straight towards the three madly charging beasts.
"You..."
Elder Fei was nearly angered to death by Su Tong.
But before she could speak, she felt Su Tong's aura rapidly rising.
With Su Tong's step forward, his aura began steadily climbing.
Grade five Lian Jing realm!
Grade six Lian Jing realm!
Grade seven Lian Jing realm!
...
Hua Qi realm!
First grade Hua Qi realm!
Second grade Hua Qi realm!
Until finally, it slowly stopped.
"Second grade Hua Qi realm!"
Sensing the aura Su Tong emitted, Elder Fei Jing cried out involuntarily.
She never imagined Su Tong's strength had already reached the second grade Hua Qi realm.
How did he cultivate to this level?
In just two months after arriving at Chi Hong Sect, he had reached second grade Hua Qi realm strength?
She had cultivated for decades!
The surrounding disciples also had faces full of shock hearing Elder Fei Jing's words.
Second grade Hua Qi realm strength?
How was this possible?
No one believed Su Tong could reach second grade Hua Qi realm strength, even stronger than Elder Fei Jing!

And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
