Chapter 7: The Devil's Right-Hand Bear
The impact of the demon bear was indeed powerful, fortunately, Gu Yu and others had a 'reliable backer' behind them, they could focus on dealing with the demon bear in front of them, and it should be fine if they persisted for a while longer.
"Everyone must hold on, believe that our comrades will arrive soon." Gu Yu loudly boosted everyone's morale.
Gu Yu directly faced the impact of the brave and fierce Magic Bear, gritting his teeth and persevering. He knew he couldn't show any weakness, or else morale would plummet to the bottom, and casualties would be unavoidable.
Bi Fan looked clearly from the top of the big tree, with a cold smile spreading across his face.
Since Bei Xuguang's people wanted to make things difficult for him, Bi Fan wasn't someone who didn't know how to counterattack.
Only to see Bi Fan's body like a spirit monkey, lightly borrowing force, he arrived at the ground, then flashed his body towards the giant stone.
Mo Xiong and Gu Yu were engaged in a fierce battle, neither of them noticing Bi Fan sneaking up on them.
Close to the battlefield, Bi Fan hid behind a half-person-high stone, with several small stones in his hand, and a thicker smile on his face.
Bi Fan aimed at a Beixing Palace disciple beside Gu Yu and flicked the stone out with his finger.
Bi Fan had cultivated the Xian Finger, and his finger strength was astonishing. The pebbles shot out rapidly, all of them emitting a piercing sound as they broke through the air.
"Not good, dodge quickly!" Gu Yu was indeed very strong, and during the battle, he could still detect the stone shooting over.
He wanted to push away his companion beside him, but unfortunately, his action was already too late.
"Ahh..." A blood-curdling scream.
Gu Yu's companion's arm fell down, the artifact dropped to the ground, and his arm had an additional blood hole, with fresh blood gushing out.
"What kind of person?! Actually helping the demon bear deal with humans!" Gu Yu was furious.
He roughly judged the direction of the stone's origin, his eyes searching all around, but there was no discovery.
Bi Fan hid behind a boulder and snickered, completely ignoring Gu Yu.
All the benevolence and righteousness are fake, if Bi Fan didn't think of a way to deal with Bei Xugong's people, Bei Xugong's people would find him sooner or later, Bi Fan liked to take the initiative.
Gu Yu's party of six had now lost two members' combat effectiveness, making their situation even more unfavorable.
What's more, Gu Yu and his team had to be constantly on guard, fearing being ambushed by people hiding in the dark.
The demon bear is extremely intelligent and its attack is getting more and more fierce.
Gu Yu's companions were injured one after another and couldn't hold on any longer. Only Gu Yu was slightly better off.
"Everyone must hold on, reinforcements will arrive immediately." Gu Yu did not give up and spoke to boost morale.
"Heh heh, you guys shouldn't have messed with me. Otherwise, I'd have no choice but to take action against the Magic Bear. Now... it's only fitting that you're in trouble."
Bi Fan made his move again, still shooting out pebbles, but this time he shot out four in a row, and everyone who was still fighting got one.
"Snap!" Gu Yu's senses were sharp, and with a single stab of his sword, he shattered the stone.
The other three people reacted slowly and were all hit by stones.
Bi Fan did not kill them, but only wounded them, causing them to lose their combat effectiveness.
Those demonic bears seemed delighted to tear apart the humans in front of them, and they charged towards Gu Yu's group of six.
Gu Yu's face changed drastically, and he actually abandoned his companion, wanting to escape.
"It's not that easy to leave." Bi Fan sneered.
Fingers connected and popped, pebbles shot towards Gu Yu, making him busy and unable to escape, trapped in the Magic Bear's encirclement.
Gu Yu's companion fared even worse, being torn apart by the demonic bear in an instant.
The demon bears have no mercy, and humans are just a delicious meal for them.
Having killed five humans, the demonic bear surrounded Gu Yu.
"Sneak attacker, if I find out who you are, I'll chop you into a million pieces!" Gu Yu's eyes were bloodshot as he bellowed.
Bi Fan curled his lips and didn't speak; anyway, they were all going to die, so it was a waste of words to reason with him.
He even lacks interest in taking action, and those demon bears will treat Gu Yu well.
"Boom! Ah..." The intense collision sounds and mournful cries kept ringing out.
After a while, there was no big movement outside, only the sound of the demon bear crunching bones.
Bi Fan took a glance and saw that Gu Yu had already been dismembered. His corpse was being torn apart, bitten and swallowed by the demonic bear.
Gu Yu was confirmed dead. Bi Fan made a few swift movements and disappeared into the forest, but he didn't go far. Instead, he climbed up a big tree to wait for the demonic bear to leave.
Gu Yu and the six others were quite powerful, and they should have a lot of treasures on them. Once the demonic bear leaves, we can go pick up the loot.
Before long, after the magic bear had eaten its fill, it picked up the remaining meat with its mouth and took it away.
Seeing the magic bear walk away, Bi Fan jumped down from the tree.
Bloodstains all over the ground, flesh and blood mixed together, extremely terrifying.
Bi Fan endured the feeling of nausea and picked up all the weapons on the ground, as well as a considerable number of crystal stones and a Qian Kun bag, none of which had fallen.
He had just finished collecting his things when he heard someone talking and coming this way.
"Could it be that reinforcements from Beixing Palace have arrived?" Bi Fan flashed several times and hid into the thicket.
Before long, three young men appeared beside He Bian.
"Didn't Master Gu Yu say he was here? Why can't I see anyone?"
"Let's follow the river and take a look, with Brother Gu Yu and the others' strength, it shouldn't be a problem."
Hearing these people's discussions, Bi Fan knew they must be disciples of Beixing Palace.
"Come quickly, there are signs of a fight here, and a lot of bloodstains."
Three young disciples rushed to the front of the large stone slab, looking at the bloody scene, their faces changed drastically.
"It seems that Master Gu Yu and his group have encountered trouble, apparently they were all killed and eaten by a demonic bear."
"Look quickly, this blood trail is probably the path that the demon bear took when it dragged away the remaining corpse. The blood hasn't dried yet, so it shouldn't be far, do you want to follow and take a look?"
"Follow him, and even the six powerful masters including Master Gu Yu died. It's because they lived too long that they followed him."
"This can't be right! How come Master Gu Yu and the others' magical instruments are all gone, and even their personal crystal stones are missing?"
Three young men searched carefully but found nothing and all furrowed their brows.
The demon bear couldn't even take away their magic tools, it seems that someone had taken a step ahead of them and collected the magic tools and crystal stones from Gu Yu and others.
"Everyone take a look around, that person picked up the treasure of Master Gu Yu and his group. He shouldn't have gone far yet. Master Gu Yu's Rainbow Sword is an upper-grade artifact, it can't fall into the hands of people from other sects."
Three young men were extremely clever and actually used bloodstains to track down the enemy's trail.
Bei Fan saw that they would soon find themselves and quickly left.
These people still have some use, let them go back and report that Gu Yu and others died in the mouth of a demon bear.
Bì Fán is now trying his best to avoid trouble and unnecessary conflicts. If someone provokes him, he will also counterattack with a fatal blow.
These three boys were all minor characters and didn't provoke Bi Fan, so Bi Fan let them off.
Three young men searched for a long time without finding anything and then left.
They didn't want to help Gu Yu avenge himself, but only wanted to get the magical instruments and crystal stones from him.
Bi Fan found a quiet place and counted his gains. Actually, there was nothing much to count, mainly just checking what was inside the Qian Kun bag.
The Qiankun bag should be Gu Yu's, Bi Fan opened it and found that there were more than 300 crystal stones inside, a medium-grade artifact, three low-grade artifacts, and two secret books.
Bi Fan was only interested in the secret books, took them out to take a look, one of which was the internal breath cultivation method of Bei Xu Gong, Xuan Yang Jue, and another sword manual, Xuan Ri Dong Sheng.
These two secret books are the middle-level secrets of Beixing Palace, which ordinary disciples cannot obtain. They are about the same level as Qingyang Fufeng Sword Manual.
Bi Fan didn't intend to cultivate these two secret techniques, but he could use them as a reference, which would also be beneficial for his cultivation of other martial skills.
If I were to cultivate these two secret skills and the disciples of Beixing Palace found out, it would be no small trouble.
However, if one cultivates the Rising Sun and uses the Carefree Immortal Finger Technique in conjunction with the Qingyang Fufeng Sword Manual, it's likely that no one will be able to see through it. Bi Fan put everything away, extremely satisfied.
Bi Fan already knew that Bei Xuan Palace's disciples were all searching for his trail, because the number of people who wanted to kill him was not small either. He didn't worry at all.
As his strength increased, Bi Fan's confidence grew stronger and stronger.
Moreover, those who enter the periphery of the Demon Realm are mostly not very strong, and the truly powerful ones would never enter the periphery just for a thousand crystal stones.
Without any pressure, Bi Fan continued to rush towards the depths of the Demon Realm, searching for a suitable demon beast to practice his skills.
Nowadays, the demon beasts in the Brave Martial Realm can no longer bring him much pressure, and he must find demon beasts in the Spiritual Wisdom Realm to have the effect of tempering his martial skills and physique.
Outside the Demon Realm, above the Spiritual Wisdom Boundary, the number of demons is extremely small. Once encountered, most cultivators would likely flee in disarray.
Bi Fan searched all the way, and didn't see a single magical beast in the Ling Hui realm. He killed five or six magical beasts below the Ling Hui realm without much effort, and even magical beasts in the Yong Wu realm found it hard to pose a threat to him.
Bi Fan was making progress every day, advancing at a rapid pace, with his strength, physique and martial skills all increasing rapidly.
Before he knew it, Bi Fan had already been on the outskirts of the Demon Realm for half a month, and his strength had increased by more than double.
Especially physical strength, after practicing the first level of Fa jue in Jin Si Yu Shu, pure physical strength has reached the level of Zang Fu, which is also known as Four Cloud Stones.
The power bursting out of his inner energy was close to that of a Six Clouds Stone, and when added together, it was almost equivalent to the power of ten Clouds Stones, comparable to a strong practitioner at the peak of the Spiritual Wisdom Realm.
Bi Fan's strength was only at the peak of the Innate Realm, yet he could already stand shoulder to shoulder with a strong expert who was two levels higher than him, which was already extremely rare.
Bi Fan increasingly felt the magic of the spell recorded on the Golden Silk Jade Book, but unfortunately this spell was incomplete.
"The magical creature of Ling Hui realm, come out quickly, brother can't wait any longer." Bi Fan prayed in his heart.
His strength is currently at the bottleneck of the viscera boundary, and he needs more grinding to make a quick breakthrough. He wants to cultivate to the spiritual wisdom boundary as soon as possible, so that he can cultivate the carefree decision to quickly improve his inner breath. The method of cultivating inner breath in the carefree decision is definitely much better than the Qingyang Longsheng Decision.
Compared with taking elixirs to break through boundaries, Bi Fan prefers to break through through actual combat, which makes his foundation more solid.
Just as he was muttering to himself, a shocking beast howl suddenly came from afar.
I don't even know what kind of monster it is, just the sound of its voice makes people tremble with fear, its strength must be extremely powerful.
Bì Fán was extremely excited and quickly rushed in the direction of the sound.
"Finally, there's a powerful monster to fight!"
