“Alright!” After Casey replied, he drew his battle knife and met the enemy head-on.
Azure Fang, Azure Dragon, and others followed closely behind, not wasting any time.
A group of polar snow leopards roared again and pounced towards them.
Soon, a fierce battle ensued, causing a small avalanche as ice and snow cascaded down the mountain.
However, the avalanche posed no threat to Billy and the others, as several low-ranking Demonic Beasts were swept down the mountainside.
Bang!
At that moment, a muffled sound was heard as Billy’s palm sent the forth-tier Spiritual Beast flying, tumbling in the snow before getting back up.
Having just broken through to the fourth rank of Saint, Billy needed a challenging opponent to test his skills, so he held back.
With his current strength, facing a forth-tier Spiritual Beast was child’s play for him.
The Spiritual Beast roared and charged at Billy again.
Not backing down, Billy confronted the Spiritual Beast, striking it with several palm winds, creating a series of collisions in mid-air.
Meanwhile, Casey was engaged in a battle with two third-tier Spiritual Beasts. As a Third-rank Saint, he could hold his own against them even without using his full power.
Boom!
One of the Spiritual Beasts dodged Casey’s blade strike, causing it to embed deeply into the nearby ice and snow, dislodging a large chunk.
The other Spiritual Beast lunged at Casey in tandem, spewing out a vile saliva.
Casey didn’t choose to confront it head-on. With a quick dodge, she avoided the attack, and the saliva landed on the icy ground, emitting a foul smell.
The Spiritual Beast missed its strike and slid forward for several meters before coming to a stop.
“Enough, I’m done playing with you!” Just as the beast was about to turn around for another attack, Casey activated the Bloodshadow Blade Technique and slashed at it.
Sensing the danger, the beast quickly dodged to the side.
However, it was still a step too slow, as the arc-shaped blade passed through its waist.
In the next moment, the two halves of its body fell to the ground, staining the snow red with blood.
The remaining third-tier Spiritual Beasts, seeing their companion killed, became enraged and charged at Casey with crimson eyes.
Casey narrowed his eyes and raised a hand, unleashing several sharp blade energies.
Swoosh!
The blade energies sliced through the beasts, leaving several bloody gashes.
However, they showed no signs of retreat. They momentarily paused before charging again, this time hurling ice chunks at Casey.
“So resilient?” Casey squinted, swiftly evading the beasts’ attacks.
But it seemed that they were determined to fight to the death.
Regaining his balance, Casey leaped into the air and dove down towards the beasts like an eagle swooping down on its prey.
“If you’re so eager to die, then die!” Casey, losing patience, activated the Bloodshadow Blade Technique once again.
Swoosh!
The sharp blade energy, carrying the force of lightning, pierced through the beasts’ abdomens.
A gush of blood sprayed out, and they crashed heavily to the ground, convulsing before going still.
At the same time, Billy also smashed the head of the fourth-tier Spiritual Beast, leaving it lifeless on the ground.
“Enough playing, let’s finish this quickly!” Billy then looked at the battle circle of the others.
“Got it!” They all nodded and unleashed their own trump cards.
After a few minutes, all the savage beasts, around twenty or thirty of them, lay on the snowy ground.
“Ian, lend me your blade for a moment!” Stout took the big blade from Ian and walked towards the beasts’ corpses.
In no time, he returned with a bunch of beast cores in his hands.
“Stout, what are you going to do with those Demonic Beast cores?” Ian asked.
“Demonic Beast cores are beast cores!” Stout grinned.
“Let’s go!” Billy then led everyone to continue climbing up the mountain.
Along the way, they encountered several more waves of savage beast attacks, some of which included mid-level Spiritual Beasts.
However, in Billy’s hands, they couldn’t last more than a few minutes.
Stout was the most excited during the journey. The big bag in his hands was filled with beast cores.
Although most of the cores were from Demonic Beasts, they were worth more than some ordinary spirit fruits.
Around three or four in the afternoon, they reached the summit of the snowy mountain. All they could see was snow, nothing else.
“Boss, can you sense the aura of Spiritual Beasts?” Bob asked.
“Give me a few minutes!” Billy said, releasing his spiritual power to sweep around.
After about ten minutes, Billy furrowed his brows slightly and retracted his spiritual power.
“Any luck?” Azure Dragon asked.
“Nothing found!” Billy shook his head. “Let’s keep going deeper!”
After saying that, he led the group further into the snowy mountain.
The so-called summit of the snowy mountain was just a metaphor. This mountain was not small, and just the top had a radius of at least dozens of kilometers.
The group of seven searched for over two hours on the mountaintop but found nothing.
During this time, they also encountered two or three waves of savage beast attacks, but none of them were their target.
After another hour or so, as the group walked beneath a cliff, they heard a loud noise coming from above.
Immediately, an avalanche of endless snow and ice cascaded down.
It was incredibly fast, and in the blink of an eye, the snow and ice filled the sky, appearing above the group’s heads in a terrifying manner.
An avalanche!
That was the first two words that came to mind for Billy and the others.
Moreover, this avalanche was much larger than any they had experienced before.
“Damn it!” Bob and Stout exclaimed simultaneously.
At this moment, they were below the cliff, and except for Billy and Casey, who might be able to dodge, Azure Dragon and the others had no time to react.
“Follow me, don’t get separated!” Billy furrowed his brows and spoke in a deep voice.
Billy’s defensive aura solidified, enveloping the group and reinforcing their defenses with their Chi energy.
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, they were buried beneath endless snow and ice. Fortunately, their protective aura held strong, or else they would have been in big trouble.
As time passed, the pressure on their defensive aura continued to increase, causing Azure Dragon and the others to feel their breaths becoming erratic.
At this rate, it wouldn’t be long before they reached their limits.
“Stout, give each person a Chi Condensing Pill!” Billy instructed.
“Got it!” Stout reached into his pocket and handed out the Chi Condensing Pills to everyone.
After a few minutes, the commotion outside gradually subsided.
Just then, a chaotic and muffled sound reached their ears, deafening them.
“What’s going on?” Bob furrowed his brows and spoke up.
