Attack Of The Colossal Beast
'Dammit! It's now or never!'
.

Xiao Fang finally stopped to face his pursuers. The moment he turned, 5 9th tiered beasts suddenly jumped straight at him.
"Foolish."
He unsheathed his sword then attacked them as soon as they landed.
Even though he needed to get close to deal a decisive blow, his battle power was so much higher than theirs, it wasn't a difficult task. Since their numbers were low, the only fate that awaited them was death.
...
Relying on his quick footwork and masterful swordsmanship, he evaded all of their attacks and created deep wounds on each of their bodies. Xiao Fang defeated all 5 of the beast before the other 20 could even catch up.
"20," Xiao Fang counted the beasts that remained.
When the other beasts finally caught up, they didn't attack Xiao Fang recklessly like the first 5 did, they paused for a moment then tried to coordinate an attack, but Xiao Fang didn't give them a chance to do that. He was short on time so he wanted to deal with them as soon as possible.
[Divine Sword Cutting Air]
The sharp Divine Sword qi that coated his blade extended out by 10 meters, giving him a much larger attack range. With this, he didn't need to risk getting close to attack the 9th tiered beasts.
[Illusory Clone]
The moment his clones went in different directions, the beasts separated too. They knew they couldn't afford to split up against Xiao Fang, but they had no choice.
"19."
"18."
"17."
"16."
...
"15."
"14."
"13."
"12."
"11."
...
Xiao Fang kept creating clones whenever they were destroyed. Even though his clones were incapable of dealing any damage, it still tilted the battle heavily in his favor.
In a matter of seconds, Xiao Fang had reduced their numbers so low he no longer needed to rely on his clones to defeat them.
'It seems I overestimated them. Then again, the Illusory Body method is great against fighting uneven numbers,' Xiao Fang thought.
[Floating Leaf Rushing Tide]
Xiao Fang hovered an inch off the ground before he started running at blinding speeds.
Seeing that the fight was already lost, the remaining 9th tiered beasts turned tail and ran, but Xiao Fang didn't let any of them escape.
One by one they quickly fell. Once they were all dead, Xiao Fang extracted their cores then made his spirit pendant absorb its qi.
"Not bad. It seems a single one of these is as good as a 100 8th tiered beast cores," Xiao Fang smiled avariciously.
Suddenly a thought came to mind.
'Since they're all 9th tiered beasts, wouldn't it help me make a breakthrough with my body cultivation if I consumed their bodies?' Xiao Fang wondered.
However, before Xiao Fang could test that theory he noticed the colossal beast picking up a massive boulder from afar.
'Damn that monkey,' Xiao Fang thought before running towards the lake again.
A second later an explosion that could shake the heaven and the earth sounded out. All the beasts Xiao Fang had killed were now made into nothing but dust. The colossal beast snarled when it missed Xiao Fang, then it continued to chase after him.

Back at the entrance of the 7th floor, Xiao Hei waited patiently for Xiao Fang to return. Despite all that was happening, she couldn't see or hear any of it. All she could hear were the occasional roars of the powerful beasts that were roaming close to the entrance.
