<h4>Chapter 486 Miscalction</h4>


    Wu Long moved out first, thousands of spear images appearing in the air above and raining on the densely packed beasts, ying thousands at a time as water des formed and flew off around him, paving the way to the passage as thedies followed right behind, firing off their attacks as well.


    The peak of the mountain was instantly filled with the final cries of the beast horde andrge amounts of blood flowed down the slope.


    As soon as they started circting their techniques, a beautiful translucent armor of glowing Spiritual Qi appeared on thedies, giving them a valiant look as they felt their own attacks to be several times more powerful.


    Wu Long moved forward, ying the beasts further as thedies circled to take a position in the clearing between the rocky walls that led to theke.


    "Haha, does he even need us protecting this ce?"


    One of the Core Disciples could not help but make a slightly astonishedugh at the sight of him descending the mountain, the beasts around him falling in numbers that put to shame what he showed in the Winter Forest crevasse.


    "Don''t talk nonsense. He only did it so it easier on us to handle the initial impact. They areing"


    Xue Bing spoke as her eyes reflected the beasts that were left on the far corners of the wider part of the slope down below approaching their position while circling around.


    Hua Ziyan''s Spiritual Qi Fists and Xue Bing''s ciers started forming around them while the disciples tookbat poses, sending out their attacks as soon as the beasts approached within range.


    Meanwhile Wu Long cut through the horde to the Profound Grade beast which also noticed him and rushed to meet him.


    More talismans spread in all directions while he ran and when he met the beast, multiple glowing formation circles all connected to the giant one in the skies appeared above the ce their paths collided.


    *ng*


    A spear de shed with sharp ws of the beast.


    "As expected... quite fast..."


    Wu Long made a circling move with the beast mirroring it, while water des made from melting the ice and snow around with lightning continued to y some of the beasts running past him.


    Another sh, with no winner this time either.


    This beast did not have the hard shell of the spider Wu Long fought before, or the territorial advantage, it was simply agile enough to give the current him a run for his money.


    It''s ws were too hard to attempt breaking through with force, and it''s physical strength was far higher than that spider so trapping it the same way would only be a waste of talismans, at least the ones he was willing to use.


    The formation circles he released before started forming translucent spears ones like the one he held in his hand.


    "Astral Projection Arrays"


    And as the beast went for another attack, they started firing off, not all at once but with a seemingly random time difference, the spears imbued with his techniques.


    The beast started evading, sensing danger of the attacks, it''s speedgging at one point as it had to make a sharp turn, when...


    "Falcon Talon Piercing Strike!"


    Wu Long''s speartip pierced the beast''s side.


    ''Too shallow!''


    *Roar!*


    He then let go of the spear, swiftly backing away as the ws tore through the air right in front of his face.


    "Haha, you''re tougher than you look..."


    He chuckled looking at the beast as they took a distance from each other. His eyes shed with profound patterns as he looked for anything he might have overlooked only to see an irregr scale-like shield seemingly growing on a muscle to be blocking the speartip.


    "I see... a sudden mutation that allows to harden inner tissue in that area... must be something one of your offspring developed..."


    *Grrr*


    A wry smile touched his lips while the beast growled at him.


    "Astral Projection Arrays"


    The glowing circles above formed more spears, though they no longer bore the form of the one he held andunched them at the beast while it lunged at him.


    He narrowly dodged it''s w, taking the spear stuck in the beast and a thunderp resounded in the area as a bright sh covered the surroundings.


    *Roaaarrr!!!*


    The beast froze in ce after receiving a massive lightning strike right through it''s insides, the scale blocking the spear bing softer and with a strong push, the de tore through the beast''s heart.


    He swiftly withdrew the spear, turning it around and cing the shaft on his shoulder while he moved away from the final strike of the fatally wounded beast.


    "Wheew~... that''s it for-... shit..."


    He sighed with a smile, but his pupils contracted the next moment as he felt a rapidly approaching powerful aura... and not just one.


    "Oh fuck off..."


    As he saw the male with two more females he made a "you''ve got to be shitting me" face. He might have expected to fight the pair, but even he could not predict the multiple females.


    "And that one''s even faster..."


    His eyes stopped on the male which appeared beside the female beast he just yed, sniffing it''s corpse.


    *Roooaaar!!!*


    "Angry? Haa~... yeah I''m not happy either you know..."


    The two females which appeared with a dy stopped behind the male which was now staring Wu Long down with five bloodthirsty eyes.


    "Haa~ how was I supposed to know you''re a pack... the cannibalistic ones usually are in pairs..."


    Heined to the beast in a slightly sulky manner as so far his predictions were almost spot on with the exception of Do Bishui which he could understand, but this onepletely threw him off as it could technically be predicted if he paid more attention to the evolution patterns of the beast horde.


    The beast''s irregr eye growing on one side, which was a result of a mutation due to cannibalistic evolving, contracted it''s pupil.


    "... I even so confidently told them there was a pair..."


    His eyes on the beast slowly filled with a little annoyance.


    The spear in his hand disappeared, reced by a Profound Grade sword he got from Do Bishui''s Spatial Ring.


    "Haa~, I''d rather not use any Domain to such an extent in this condition..."


    He startedmenting with a sigh as the beastsunched at him at the same time from different directions and the surroundings became discolored in a spherical area around him, the beasts suddenly moving incredibly slowly inside it mid-jump.


    Wu Long grasped the handle of the sword with his right hand, his eyes shing with a profound light, the movement of his hand seemingly slow and leaving afterimages, but as if part of the movement in between was cut out.


    The sword shed in thest light of the sun that was discolored within the bubble as well, and then disappeared back into the sheathe, the next moment the discoloration passing as if nothing ever happened and the beasts fell to the ground, theirrge bodies cleanly sliced in two as the sounds of a sword being drawn and sheathed btedly resounded at the same time.


    "... but your speed, vastly superior to my current one, leaves me little choice"


    He finished with the same expression on his face, feeling his condition instantly deteriorate.


    "I should go help the others..."


    He shook his head withment as the malformed demonic cores of these beasts were not suitable to be used, swallowing the intense urge to spit on these corpses for giving him so much trouble with no reward for it, and turned to go help Hua Ziyan and the others with the beast horde which was already not that big after two days and a night of stampeding into the Winter Forest.
