Chapter 348 - Disappear [Bonus ]

The fox tried to fidget to get out of the green python's constriction, but it was unable to. From what Alex could understand, the snake was many realms higher than the fox's cultivation base.

The fox was dead within seconds after the constriction, and the snake directly swallowed its body. The snake then saw Alex standing there and slowly moved its head towards him.

'What do I do now?' Alex started to doubt if he even had any chances.

"Get back, Little Green," A voice came from the sound. This voice was all too familiar to Alex.

"Master,' he said as he looked towards the sound.

Ma Rong walked up to the green snake and patted its head. "Go, fight with those other beasts," she ordered it.. She then turned to look at Alex and asked, "What are you doing trying to fight with a True Realm beast. Just run."

"I was about to, Master. I would've used Heaven's impact or my escape technique as a last resort if normal escape was impossible," Alex said.

"You should flare out your spiritua—"

GRRRR

A tiger beast appeared from the side and directly jumped on Ma Rong. Ma Rong waved her hands and cold energy was released from it. Signs of frosting appeared on the fur of the tiger. The green snake appeared from the side with a dead bull and immediately left it to run after the tiger.

"Go," Ma Rong's voice appeared inside Alex's head and he went to help the others.

He saw a 1st Meridian Tempering realm monster and started fighting it. It was a snake beast with a brown body and had abnormally hard skin. Alex had more problems fighting it than the 2nd Meridian Tempering realm moose.

The snake jumped at him with its open mouth, and Alex took the golden opportunity to put his sword into its mouth and cut it from the inside. Thankfully, its inside wasn't as strong and once the skin ripped from the side, it ripped all the way through.

Alex huffed after he finished fighting. But then, he realized there were two more beasts in front of him. One was in the 9th Organ Tempering realm, which wasn't hard for him to fight against, but the other one was at the 2nd Meridian Tempering realm.

He had avoided strong beasts until now, so he didn't have to confront them, but this one felt doable, although very risky. He couldn't tell if running away was a good choice here or not.

Suddenly, the beasts that were also contemplating attacking him, had a change in expression. Their faces turned from serious to delight at a very fast rate.

'What's happening?' Alex wondered.

Then, the beasts turned around and back towards the broken gate. In fact, they ran out of it. Not only them, but Alex could also see almost all the beasts that were in the self Tempering realm run out of the city.

Only those in the True realm were showing any signs of not moving. Alex decided to follow behind them to see what the cause was.

He walked to the city gates, the same as everyone else, and saw them gathered around a certain spot outside the forest looking for something.

"Brother Yu, What is going on?" Wan Li came up to him from the side. He was bloody from head to foot from killing a lot of beasts.

"I don't know, Brother Wan," Alex said as he looked around to see that there were no more beasts inside the city at all. It was as if it was a miracle.

"I think I know," Wan Li spoke. Alex turned his head around to see him pointing in a certain direction upwards. Alex looked in the direction and saw a certain man flying up there.

It was a relatively young-looking man, amongst the hoard of other people and beasts fighting, yet Alex could clearly tell who he was and why he was the cause of whatever was happening.

"The Royal Alchemist? He came to fight as well?" Alex said in surprise. "He must've used the beast attracting pill to pull all the beasts out of the city."

"Everyone, the Royal Alchemist has managed to bring all the beasts out of the city. Please do not let them enter again. Fight!" The Emperor's voice was heard from somewhere despite not being visible anywhere.

The people were riled up and charged out of the city to fight with the beasts that were gathered there. Alex and Wan Li did the same.

For nearly 15 minutes, Alex fought a bloody battle against more than a dozen beasts. Some weak, some strong. The humans were overwhelmingly winning the fight, although a few did die in front of Alex's eyes.

However, the number of beasts killed was far too many compared to the few humans they had lost instead.

Huff Huff

Alex was getting tired by now. He had been continuously helping and then fighting for nearly an hour now. The sun was going down and the evening was approaching.

He lifted his sword and took deep breaths before being ready to fight the beast in front of him. Suddenly, something happened. The feeling that Alex had been feeling disappeared. He looked to the south and realized that he could no longer tell exactly which direction the feeling had been coming from.

Another weird thing happened almost simultaneously. As soon as the feeling disappeared, the beasts stopped fighting and ran back into the forest.

Every beast including the ones at the True realm ran back into the forest leaving Alex and the rest with nothing but corpses behind them.

Alex slumped back into the ground in exhaustion and started catching his breath. He looked at the mountain of corpses that had appeared around him and realized that he could no longer see anyone anywhere. The corpses were blocking his view.

'Are all the beasts gone?' Alex wondered and sent out his spiritual sense. Just then, he saw something move at incredible speed.

Alex tried to quickly teleport, but he was struck on the back of his head, and he lost consciousness.
