While the members of the Meng Clan were fighting the other beasts, the scorpion-tailed leopards were watching from the side. After some time, they stopped observing silently. They turned to the crowd of humans and roared ferociously.
Their roars were louder than a lion's, and the ear-splitting sounds stunned and nearly deafened the humans.
Obviously, these six, strong diabolic beasts had decided to join the fight.
They moved their pillar-like hooves and dashed toward the members of the Meng Clan. From afar, it appeared as though several rolling hills were heading for the humans.
Bang bang bang! Despite their massive bodies, they moved at a significantly high speed. The scorpion-tailed leopards rampaged through the forest with unstoppable momentum.
As their heavy steps slammed into the ground, it felt as if an earthquake was rocking the area.
The expressions on the human cultivators' faces changed dramatically when they saw the scorpion-tailed leopards heading toward them.
Marwell wielded his broad blade and cut several demonic beasts in half with his strategic attacks. He stomped on the ground before darting for the scorpion-tailed leopards, blocking their way forward. As his vigorous vital energy burst from his body, he swung his blade at his enemies.
"Boom!"
A strong wave of Marwell's vital energy force spread to the scorpion-tailed leopards, carrying a streak of blade radiance. The force he had used was so great that it swept layers of dust from the ground. Then it charged at the leading scorpion-tailed leopard.
"Clang!"
The sound of clanging escalated as Marwell's weapon hit his opponent. His vital energy force exploded on the scorpion-tailed leopard's body, and the enormous power he had released managed to ward off the beast.
The scorpion-tailed leopard released an angry moan after being attacked.
Its body trembled violently as if it had been struck by lightning, and it was forced a dozen steps back.
Marwell was at the premium stage of the Sky Realm, which was equivalent to a level nine diabolic beast such as the scorpion-tailed leopard. In other words, they were close rivals in terms of their cultivation base.
Nonetheless, Marwell had an excellent understanding of his weapon, and he had grasped level eight blade intent. Both of these contributed to his attack damage and worked to his advantage in the fight.
For that reason, he managed to beat the scorpion-tailed leopard back with his first attack.
However, his attack didn't hurt the beast much. On the contrary, it angered the beast. The scorpion-tailed leopard roared and lunged at Marwell again. This time, its five companions also attacked.
Despite Marwell's proficient blade skill, he would be unable to fight six diabolic beasts of ninth level simultaneously.
Noticing that he was in danger, Mance and seven other cultivators at the Sky Realm, including Michelle, rushed to Marwell's side. They unleashed their vital energy force as they blocked the other five scorpion-tailed leopards beside the one fighting with Marwell.
A fight between nine Sky Realm cultivators and six, level nine diabolic beasts!
They started battling fiercely with each other and automatically became the focus of this battleground.
Just as the fight began, a cultivator at the preliminary stage of the Sky Realm was stabbed on his arm by a scorpion-tailed leopard's tail. He moaned with pain and fell on the ground.
Luckily, other members of the Meng Clan were nearby. They carried him from the fight and prevented him from being killed.
The remaining cultivators at the Sky Realm continued to combat the scorpion-tailed leopards but were at a distinct disadvantage. Their defeat was merely a matter of time.
"Mason, guide them and break the siege now! Be quick!" Marwell shouted anxiously.
Marwell was aware that none of the other members would be able to escape after he and the other eight cultivators fighting the scorpion-tailed leopards, were killed.
Mason also understood the urgency of their situation.
He waved his hand at his clansmen and gave the signal to organize them to break the siege by the back routes.
However, they failed to carry out their plan.
Before they could retreat from the battleground, one of the scorpion-tailed leopards suddenly stopped fighting.
It turned to the trees around the area and roared.
Clang clang clang... All of a sudden, the whole forest rustled, rousing flocks of birds.
