Chapter 1491: Stubborn Xiaoxiang

Xu Yang was exceptionally clever. The female cultivators of the Yan Yu Royal Family were each very proud and would not easily feel indebted for help from others. As a result, these girls continued to resist fiercely, oblivious to the impending danger of total annihilation, and thus unaware of the unparalleled significance of Xu Yang and his companions.

As expected, after hearing Xu Yang's words, the others remained silent, calmly watching as the girls gradually pushed the situation to the brink of losing control.

Xu Yang grew increasingly helpless as he watched, and finally couldn't help but speak.

"These female cultivators are undoubtedly the top talents of the younger generation, and their strength is considerable. However, they are completely ignorant of practical combat experience and the rules of survival on this Kunlun Divine Source Battlefield. They act impulsively. Perhaps by the time they realize their fighting method is wrong, the situation will already be irreversible."

The situation indeed unfolded precisely as Xu Yang had predicted. Originally, there were only just over five thousand bloodthirsty fierce beasts. However, within a few short hours, the girls had each expended more than half of their energy and combat capability, yet they had killed less than half of the initial five thousand-plus beasts.

Now, over twenty thousand frenzied fierce beasts had gathered, several of which possessed the strength of a Seven-level Demon Venerable. This severely hampered the girls' ability to eliminate groups of enemies. Moreover, the dozen or so core female cultivators, including Xiaoxiang, were completely ensnared by powerful demonic creatures of Demon Venerable level or higher, preventing them from joining the main battlefield to inflict widespread damage.

Consequently, the situation became increasingly dire, with the scales of victory gradually tipping towards the formidable fierce beast contingent.

"Senior Sister, if this continues, it will likely become much more troublesome. Let's immediately send a signal to the elders."

Xiaoxiang, still biting her lip, shook her head. "No. The elders have an even more difficult mission. Our situation here is merely a localized battle. If we were to divert a large portion of the elders' forces from the main battlefield to aid us, it would undoubtedly cause the younger generation cultivators of the other five royal families to look down upon our Yan Yu Royal Family. They've always thought our combat power is inferior to the other five clans, and in past large-scale operations, they've always considered our Yan Yu clan last. This time, I must restore our Yan Yu clan's prestige through my own power."

It must be said that this girl was inherently stubborn and proud. However, the more resolute she was, the more disadvantageous it became for managing the current situation.

"Hey, young ladies of the Yan Yu Royal Family, how much longer will you endure? The more you fight like this, the more chaotic the situation becomes, and the more fierce beasts will appear. Why don't you ask us for help? We might consider intervening."

At Xu Yang's suggestion, Long Kun began to tease the girls, which only made them more indignant and ashamed.

"Forget it, don't argue with these young girls. The rest of you, join the battle. Go to the main battlefield and eliminate large groups of fierce beasts to quickly reduce their numbers. This will also prevent the situation from escalating. Long Kun, you will cast a seal on the outermost perimeter, using the power of the stars to cut off the life aura here. Contain the battlefield within a thousand li to prevent the situation from further expansion."

Long Kun immediately nodded with excitement upon hearing Xu Yang's order.

"Don't worry, Boss, I've got this task."

Xiao Hua and Ling Yao also joined the battles on either side, leaving only Xu Yang and the lazy little cat on his shoulder, who remained motionless. Xu Yang, however, had already fixed his gaze on the three Seven-level Demon Venerable fierce beasts that were pinning down Xiaoxiang and the dozen core combatants.

"I say, what are you waiting for? Why aren't you making a move? You don't actually believe these three Seven-level Demon Venerable fierce beasts, already in a berserk state, can't even defeat a few inexperienced young girls, do you? If you think that, you're truly underestimating the combat power of the fierce beast race."

Xu Yang chuckled and shook his head. "No, I'm waiting for that girl named Xiaoxiang to speak up herself."

The little cat sighed helplessly, seemingly cursing Xu Yang under its breath. However, Xu Yang, of course, had his own agenda. He wanted this girl to genuinely understand that her own strength was insufficient to sway the situation. Only by leveraging Xu Yang's power could the Yan Yu Royal Family fundamentally alter its standing among the Six Great Royal Families.

Xu Yang's goal was to earn the complete trust of Xiaoxiang, this young generation prodigy. This would then give him a greater opportunity to recruit her into his ranks.

If he had her, a young leader from one of the Six Great Royal Families, as an ally, it would be much easier to develop future strategies. This was his true intention, not to be petty with a young girl. He sought a much grander vision and a broader strategic outlook. Truly, no one could compare to Xu Yang in terms of foresight.

The three Seven-level Demon Venerable fierce beasts combined their attacks and quickly suppressed the formation power the dozen girls had formed to its lowest point. Xiaoxiang, it seemed, simultaneously employed the Heartless Sword Art from the Longevity Dao Sacred Method to strike the three Demon Venerables. While she achieved decent results, it was clearly impossible for her to inflict a fundamentally destructive blow on these three Demon Venerable-level powerhouses.

This only allowed her to unilaterally suppress the attack rhythm of the three Demon Venerables, with no way to change the final outcome. As expected, the three most powerful sword energies, propelled by Xiaoxiang's spiritual power, were unleashed simultaneously. They finally broke through the concentrated encirclement of the three beasts, buying her sisters a moment of respite.

But soon, the three Demon Venerables became even more frenzied, letting out terrifying roars of laughter that echoed like a tsunami. "Your life essence, little girls, is far too pure! You will be our finest sustenance. Speak any last words quickly, for once you become our food, you'll have no further chance to speak."

Xiaoxiang's delicate brows furrowed, and without hesitation, she began to condense an even more powerful sword energy. This wave, she intended to unleash her strongest single-target killing technique from the Longevity Sacred Method. However, with Xu Yang's profound insight, he could tell at a glance that for her to execute this ultimate technique to its maximum potential with her current cultivation would be considerably difficult.

Furthermore, while this strike might ensure she could directly slay one Seven-level Demon Venerable beast at its peak power in a berserk state, she would be left with no means to counter the remaining two Seven-level beasts.

Considering the formation these dozen girls had assembled, if Xiaoxiang, their primary core, were to lose her combat ability, the remaining girls would become a disorganized rabble, utterly unable to contend with the two remaining Demon Venerables.
