The sight caused everyone present to change color instantly. They watched the giant toad slowly retracting its vines, a chilling sensation rising in their hearts, their own hearts pounding violently.
The ferocity of this beast was indeed terrifyingly strong; even they, several Grandmasters, could barely withstand a single move.
At this point, despair filled the eyes of the group of middle-aged men, knowing they would surely not escape death today.
After exchanging glances, the remaining martial artists showed expressions of facing death without fear.
They would fight!
The middle-aged men exchanged glances, madness flashing in their eyes.
The state of mind of a Grandmaster was naturally different from ordinary people, but their gazes were fixed on the giant toad.
Waves of surging aura continuously emanated from their bodies.
Immediately, a look of madness flashed in their eyes, as if in this most critical moment, life and death had been cast aside.
The aura of these people surged wildly, and dense black mist began to emanate from their palms.
The black mist rapidly spread, transforming into several black swords that hovered in the air.
Then, they simultaneously swung their hands, unleashing streaks of black sword energy that fiercely bombarded the giant toad!
Streaks of black sword energy fiercely collided with the giant toad's body.
Instantly, the beast's massive form shook violently, and shocking wounds continuously appeared.
Suffering such a heavy blow, the giant toad roared to the sky, its three heads simultaneously opening their cavernous mouths.
Several streams of colorful, viscous fluid shot out like sharp swords, fiercely blasting towards the Grandmasters!
A look of determination flashed across the faces of the Grandmaster realm cultivators. They simultaneously extended their hands, and streams of colorful light converged around them.
A massive Five Elements Formation appeared before them. The sticky fluid struck the Five Elements Formation and shattered.
The giant toad's three large heads simultaneously spewed out several multi-colored beams of light, fiercely striking the Five Elements Formation, emitting violent explosions.
The formation trembled violently under the bombardment, ripples spreading from it.
The Grandmaster realm cultivators looked at this scene, excitement appearing in their eyes.
Then, they simultaneously channeled the vital energy within their bodies, injecting it into the giant formation, causing the Five Elements Formation to erupt with terrifying pressure once more.
The next second, a multi-colored ball of light appeared above the formation, and the giant toad's figure emerged from the light cluster.
Upon appearing, the giant toad glared fiercely at the few individuals with its massive toad eyes.
From its three heads, various colored viscous fluids were continuously sprayed, corroding the surrounding trees and weeds into dust.
The group confronted the giant toad without fear.
However, no matter how hard the Grandmasters tried,
Even with such a powerful combined attack, they were still at a disadvantage.
The power of the Five Elements Formation before them continuously weakened, clearly indicating that they would surely die soon.
But there was nothing that could be done, as the beast's strength far exceeded their prior expectations.
To protect their young lady, they could only make such a choice.
...
Ye Ningze did not know their purpose for this journey, and he was helpless regarding the deaths of these people.
He was merely at the peak of the Grandmaster realm and could not possibly possess the strength to deal with an opponent that even these Grandmasters, working together, could not handle.
Ye Ningze chose to leave swiftly.
At this moment, he sensed that all the ferocious beasts within this forest seemed to have gone berserk.
It was understandable; with their leader being provoked like this, these subordinate beasts would naturally begin to riot wildly.
However, these ferocious beasts did not seek trouble with Ye Ningze. Ye Ningze had concealed his aura very well, and no beast discovered his trace.
After leaving Sunset Lake, Ye Ningze had been stealthily moving. He suddenly detected the sound of a battle ahead.
He frowned slightly, "Has some unlucky soul encountered a rampaging beast?"
Thinking this, Ye Ningze moved closer, only to be surprised to find that the young lady from before was surrounded by several ferocious beasts.
The young lady was already injured, and her aura appeared very weak.
Ye Ningze frowned slightly, "This girl is too unlucky? She just escaped the giant toad's siege and is now being ganged up on by beasts."
Judging by the current situation, if Ye Ningze did not intervene, this young lady was doomed.
Ye Ningze sighed softly, "Alright, alright. Seeing as you are so beautiful, I will save your life."
With that thought, Ye Ningze drew the pitch-black long saber he carried on his back and charged forward fiercely.
The beasts that were ganging up on the young lady suddenly felt a shock in their hearts as they sensed the aura approaching from behind.
But soon.
The beasts abandoned their attack on the young lady and instead turned to assault Ye Ningze.
Instantly, the beasts simultaneously opened their mouths and spat out streams of viscous fluid.
The viscous fluid, carrying immense corrosive power, instantly enveloped Ye Ningze.
Hmph, you think you can kill me with such meager abilities? Truly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.
Ye Ningze sneered, flicked his wrist, and the pitch-black long saber immediately emitted a series of resonant hums.
Then, he fiercely slashed at the viscous fluid, cleaving it all apart and scattering it onto the ground as clumps of slime.
The viscous fluid posed no threat whatsoever to someone of Ye Ningze's strength.
Next, Ye Ningze waited for flames to wreathe his long saber and then directly charged at the beasts, slashing at them.
His speed was incredibly fast, so fast that before the beasts could even react, he had already struck their necks.
*Squelch...*
Streams of blood immediately spurted from the beasts' necks.
Then, their bodies softly collapsed onto the ground, their lives extinguished.
At this moment, the young lady's face was pale, and her aura was weak.
Her face was filled with horror. Looking at the young man who had suddenly appeared to rescue her, her beautiful eyes held a complex expression of shock, admiration, and disbelief.
"Thank you," the young lady said with difficulty.
Immediately after, the young lady was about to say something more, but her body softly slumped to the ground, and she fainted.
Seeing this, Ye Ningze couldn't help but feel a bit speechless.
"She fainted that quickly?"
After all, within Sunset Forest, even though Ye Ningze's strength had reached the Grandmaster realm,
Carrying a fainted person like this was still a rather dangerous matter.
If they were to fall into a siege of ferocious beasts, Ye Ningze was not confident in ensuring his own safety.
