Hearing the command, everyone immediately scattered and quickly assumed combat stances. A Martial Practitioner named Zhao Gangqiang reacted swiftly. Gripping the heavy broadsword tightly with both hands, he let out a loud shout, his muscles tensing all over as he forcefully hacked toward the Demonic Beast's leg.
The blade flashed with a cold light, cutting through the air with a rushing force as it threatened to strike the beast. However, the Demonic Beast was extremely agile; with a sudden bound, it easily dodged Zhao Gangqiang's attack.
At the same time, the Demonic Beast violently lashed its tail like a steel whip, fiercely sweeping toward Zhao Gangqiang. Unable to dodge in time, Zhao Gangqiang was driven back several steps by the immense force. A dull ache gripped his chest and a trace of blood spilled from the corner of his mouth, but his eyes still burned with an indomitable fighting spirit.
