What?! All the fairies I topped up have come true?

Chapter 117 Hunting Alien Beasts

The group walked with firm steps, quickly leaving the exorcism syndicate's stronghold.

The bustling city center of Shanghai at this time has long lost its former prosperity and hustle and bustle.

The streets were deserted, with only a few scattered vehicle wrecks and debris.

The air was filled with a strong stench of fish and a faint smell of blood; a gust of wind would make one frown.

In the distance, commercial buildings stand against the hazy sky, their walls mottled and their windows broken.

The faint roars of strange beasts could be heard coming from inside the building; they were violent and piercing, exuding a chilling and malevolent aura.

"Everyone, stay alert! The commercial building is teeming with strange beasts. Remember to follow instructions and do not act on your own!"

Long Yan walked at the front, lowering his voice to give instructions.

He held a long, gleaming sword in his hand, constantly alert to any movement around him.

The twenty exorcism gang members responded in unison, gripping their weapons tightly and scanning their surroundings with sharp eyes.

Their steps were light, and they tried to make as little noise as possible.

They all knew that in this battle, the slightest mistake could cost them their lives.

Lin Xiao and Qin Yanan walked side by side in the middle of the group, exchanging words in low, steady voices.

"Sister Ya Nan, when we enter the building later, let's first deal with that Golden Core Realm beast and try to finish it off as quickly as possible to avoid too many casualties."

Lin Xiao said softly, a faint spiritual energy already gathering at his fingertips.

Qin Yanan nodded slightly, a cold glint flashing in her eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Don't worry, I will cooperate with you. No matter how powerful that Golden Core Realm beast is, it can't stop the two of us working together."

You take the lead, I'll support you. Let's finish it off quickly, then support the disciples.

Before long, the group arrived at the entrance of the commercial building.

The glass door at the entrance was already shattered, and the scattered shards of glass reflected a cold light, making it look dilapidated and desolate.

The roars of the strange beasts inside the building grew clearer, accompanied by the sound of heavy objects crashing, sending chills down one's spine.

Long Yan stopped, turned around and gestured for everyone to be quiet, then lowered his voice to assign tasks.

"Lin Xiao, Xiao Nan, you go in first to restrain the Golden Core Realm beasts, and we will follow behind. We will split into four groups to clear out the Foundation Establishment Realm beasts inside the building."

If you encounter a problem you can't solve, immediately send a signal, and we'll support each other!

"Understood!" Lin Xiao and Qin Yanan replied in unison, exchanging a glance.

The two figures flashed like streaks of light, silently rushing into the commercial building.

As soon as you enter the hall, a strong, fishy stench hits you, making you cough involuntarily.

The hall was in a mess, with shelves overturned and goods scattered all over the floor. A dozen huge strange beasts were lying on the ground gnawing on something.

Hearing the noise, they immediately raised their heads, their scarlet eyes fixed on Lin Xiao and Qin Yanan, letting out low growls.

Most of these strange beasts were at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, with robust bodies and covered in jet-black fur.

The moment Lin Xiao saw the group of strange beasts, he immediately determined their origin.

Before they could pounce, Qin Yanan struck first, her figure flashing as her sharp attack instantly struck the head of the closest beast.

"Bang!"

With a muffled thud, the mid-Foundation Establishment stage beast let out a shrill scream as its head was shattered.

Black blood spurted out, and the massive body collapsed heavily to the ground, instantly losing its breath.

Upon seeing this, the other beasts became even more ferocious, roaring as they pounced on the two of them.

"Sister Ya Nan, you hold them off, I'll go find that Golden Core Realm beast!"

Lin Xiao shouted, and his spiritual power erupted instantly.

A series of sharp, golden attacks shot out like swords, accurately striking the vital points of the charging beasts.

In just one encounter, three strange beasts fell to his hands.

Lin Xiao flashed and rushed towards the upper floors of the commercial building.

He could clearly feel a powerful surge of spiritual energy emanating from the top floor of the building.

Occasionally, a few Foundation Establishment stage beasts would slip through the net and pounce, but Lin Xiaoqian cleanly and swiftly killed them all.

At the same time, Long Yan led twenty members of the Exorcism Society into the lobby of the commercial building.

"Brothers, charge! Clear out these monsters and avenge us!"

Long Yan shouted and swung his longsword, unleashing a sharp blade of energy that instantly killed a late-stage Foundation Establishment beast.

The others followed closely behind, forming four groups and working together seamlessly.

The weapon in his hand gleamed coldly as he engaged in a fierce battle with the strange beast.

Chaos erupted inside the building, with the roars of strange beasts, the clash of swords, and the shouts of the crowd all mingling together and echoing throughout the commercial building.

Lin Xiao rushed to the top floor of the commercial building, pushed open the dilapidated door, and the sight before him made his pupils shrink slightly.

In the empty hall on the top floor, a huge beast was lying on the ground, gnawing on a corpse.

This strange beast was entirely black, with a body like a lion, but it had three eyes and a thick tail like a snake.

His body emanated a rich aura of Golden Core Realm spiritual energy, making him incredibly powerful.

It was the Golden Core Realm beast that was stationed here.

Seemingly sensing Lin Xiao's presence, the Golden Core Realm beast stopped eating and slowly raised its head.

Three scarlet eyes stared intently at Lin Xiao, letting out a deafening roar.

At the same time, the murderous aura surged instantly and pounced towards Lin Xiao.

"Well done!"

A sharp glint flashed in Lin Xiao's eyes, showing no fear whatsoever.

The Golden Core stage spiritual power erupted without reservation, and a long sword appeared in his hand.

Lin Xiao gripped his longsword and charged towards the strange beast.

"clang!"

The longsword clashed with the beast's claws, producing a piercing metallic clang and sending sparks flying.

Lin Xiao felt a tingling sensation in his arm and was forced to stagger back several steps by the power of the strange beast.

"This beast's power is incredible!"

Lin Xiao was secretly surprised; the power of this Golden Core Realm beast far exceeded his expectations.

It seems that a quick victory is not an easy task.

Before he could think any further, the beast roared and pounced again.

A fierce glint flashed in its three eyes, and its tail lashed out like a venomous snake, aiming for Lin Xiao's back.

Lin Xiao flashed away, deftly dodging the beast's tail, while simultaneously wielding his longsword.

A golden sword aura shot out, striking the beast precisely in the abdomen.

With a "whoosh," a deep wound was slashed across the beast's abdomen by the sword energy.

Black blood gushed out, and the beast let out a mournful cry, its attack momentarily halting.

Just then, Qin Yanan rushed in.

Seeing Lin Xiao engaged in a fierce battle with a Golden Core Realm beast, they immediately stepped in to provide support.

"Xiao Xiao, let me help you!"

Qin Yanan's spiritual power surged, and the pale blue spiritual power transformed into a giant hand, which slammed towards the head of the strange beast.

This is the Qin family's unique skill, the Giant Spirit Palm.

With a loud "bang!", the beast's head was struck heavily by a spiritual palm, causing its head to shake violently.

Even the fierce light in his eyes dimmed slightly, and he staggered back a few steps, spitting out a mouthful of black blood.

Lin Xiao seized the opportunity, flashed forward, and rushed to the side of the strange beast.

He raised the golden longsword high in his hand, gathered all his strength, and thrust it fiercely towards the head of the strange beast.

"Pfft!"

The longsword pierced the beast's head with precision, penetrating its brain.

The beast let out a final, mournful roar, its massive body swayed, and it collapsed heavily to the ground.

He convulsed a few times and then stopped breathing, his spiritual energy dissipating as well.

Lin Xiao and Qin Yanan exchanged a glance and both breathed a sigh of relief.

"Thankfully, we managed to resolve it smoothly."

Lin Xiao wiped the sweat from his forehead, his voice tinged with exhaustion.

The fierce battle just now had almost exhausted most of his spiritual power.

Qin Yanan nodded, gently patted his shoulder, and said in a tender tone, "You've worked hard. Let's hurry down and support Team Dragon and everyone else."

Without further delay, the two turned and rushed downstairs.

At this moment, the battle downstairs also entered a fierce stage.

Although Long Yan and his group suffered three casualties, they also killed more than twenty Foundation Establishment stage beasts.

The remaining few beasts were also exhausted and tried to turn around and run away.

"Trying to run? Not so easy!"

A cold glint flashed in Qin Yanan's eyes, and with a flash, she caught up with a fleeing late-stage Foundation Establishment beast.

With a surge of spiritual energy in his hand, he shattered its head.

Lin Xiao also stepped in to help, striking the fleeing beast with pinpoint accuracy.

With everyone working together, they killed the remaining few strange beasts in a short time.

The battle was finally over, and the commercial building was a complete mess.

Everywhere were the corpses of strange beasts and bloodstains, and most of the members of the Exorcism Society were covered in wounds.

Despite their exhaustion, everyone's eyes remained resolute, and they all wore victorious smiles.

Long Yan strode over to Lin Xiao and Qin Yanan, his face full of joy and admiration, and said:

"That's great! You actually managed to defeat that Golden Core Realm beast! Thanks to you all, otherwise we would have suffered heavy losses again!"

Lin Xiao smiled, his voice weary but firm, and said, "It's all what we should do, Brother Long. As long as we can slay the beasts and protect everyone, this little bit of hardship is nothing."

Qin Yanan nodded, her gaze falling on the other injured people, and said in a serious tone:

"First, we'll have everyone treat their wounds and clean up the scene. Then we'll return to the base as soon as possible to discuss our next steps."

Long Yan nodded and immediately arranged for his disciples to clean up the scene and treat the wounds.

She walked over to Lin Xiao and said softly, "Lin Xiao, thank you so much this time. With the two of you here, our exorcism society has confidence."

Next, we still need to wipe out the hordes of strange beasts in other parts of Shanghai, and investigate the truth behind the resurgence of spiritual energy and the chaos caused by the strange beasts. We'll have to rely on your continued efforts in the future.

Lin Xiao nodded slightly, a determined look flashing in his eyes, and said, "Brother Long, you're too kind. This is what we should do."
