Seeing that most of the people turned towards him, David shrugged. "I have problem with the arrangement."

He knew exactly what Long Chen meant by his words. Since his defense was stronger, he would no doubt be the one to attract most of the attention of the beast while the rest attacks from the sides. 

If he was an ordinary person, then this arrangement could possibly lead to his death. But David was no mere mortal. 

The other three disciples had already agreed to the plan and seeing as David nodded his head, they stopped staring at him to get ready for the battle ahead.

The young lady gazed at David apologetically. The grade 3 herb was simply very important that risking a few loves would certainly be worth it.

Lady Quin proceeded carefully as she walked towards the direction the smell was coming from, occasionally sniffing at the air and then changing directions.

David was slightly surprised that a mere mortal had the ability to smell something from so far away.

Although he could smell from far, different scents entered his receptor and since he didn't know the exact scent the young lady was following, he could only stop trying to differentiate the scent and only follow the lady.

"We are here." The young lady whispered as she bent down carefully while peeking through the tree as large as three men's waist added together.

The group of roughly ten people waited silently behind the huge trees with large patches of grass as tall as a grown man covering them as they stared further into the distance.

A single tree stood rooted to a boulder with its leaves swaying slightly with the gentle cool breeze of the evening forest.

On the tree, a single reddish black fruit stood embedded at the top of the tree, looking very enticing. 

David sniffed and a whiff of delicious fragrance entered his nose, David was immediately stunned. The fruit was too enchanting that he had the urge to take it for himself. The urge was almost as strong as when he smells blood.

It was the first time he had experienced something like this and for a fruit no less. David restrained himself since he had been doing so for a long time, it was as very easy to suppress the desire, it was as simple as flipping a switch. 

David glanced to the other four disciple and could see the struggle in their eyes as they struggled to keep their desires in check. 

"Cover your nose, this place seem to be filled with some sort of poisonous gas." Long Chen whispered sternly, however, his warning came too late. 

The four remaining guards eyes had already turned red and their face frenzy from desire. They were about to leap out from their hiding spot when a flying blade slammed into their skulls, knocking them out with speed as fast as lightning. 

Before the four guards could drop to the ground thereby disturbing the previous quiet, David grabbed at the unconscious body and quietly laid them softly to the ground.

Turning back to the young lady, David and the four disciples were surprised to see young lady Quin in sound mental state. She was barely affected by the gas in the atmosphere. 

"This girl isn't ordinary." David's eyes flashed as he muttered to himself. 

Long Chen scanned the surrounding vicinity and said solemnly to the team. "Something is wrong, there seem to be no demonic beast protecting this fruit." 

The others scanned the area and also saw that there wasn't any beast guarding the fruit. 

"I can sense that something is wrong but I can't tell what is." The female disciple Zhu Shimei spoke up. 

David glanced at her couldn't help but praise her incredible perception. He too had long since noticed something wrong with this part of the forest. Apart from the howling wind, there was no source of sound at all as though all sound had been blocked. 

This entire part of the forest was very quiet, oddly quiet. David's eyes flashed and then his ears shook slightly as though he had noticed something. 

David raised his eyes and glanced at a particular spot smirking slightly, he muttered. "Smart."

But then, he pretended as if he didn't notice a single thing and then gazed at the fruit on the thin tree in the distance. 

"Lady Quin, I think it's best if you withdraw backwards. Who knows what type of danger is here?" The second male disciple adviced out of concern. 

"Alright." Although lady Quin was reluctant to withdraw, she had no choice but to move back since she might become a burden to the team instead if something unexpected were to happen. 

"Alright, let's head over. Brother David, it would be nice if you are at the forefront. Zhu Shimei stay with me while the two of you stay behind to give support if there's any danger." Long Chen said and he didn't seem as though he was asking but was instead ordering the team.

David's eyes flashed but he didn't refute Long Chen's words like one would have expected. Seeing they David decided to cooperate, the rest of the team was happy with the formation and were relieved.

However David surprisingly didn't move carefully at all. Instead, David stood up from casually walked towards the tree as though he was in an harmless garden.

Before the team could calm down from their surprise, David had arrived close to the tree, jumping slightly David easily plucked the fruit from the tree.

Turning around to the team, he smiled as he said. "I got the fruit!"

He had just finished speaking when a shadow instantly towered over him. David blinked his eyes and turned around to see what the shadow was.

In that instance, a massive claw slammed into his chest, sending him flying into the distance. It was unknown to the team if he survived or not.

Roar!!! 

The beast roared out loud, shaking the entire first as it stood three meters in height. It's was entirely covered in hard black scale, it's body extremely sleek and streamlined with packed muscles all over its body. It's rows of sharp teeth was exposed as it snarled at the remaining four people. 

Everyone's expression changed drastically. "It's a rank 3 Demonic Beast, the Dragon panther. It's scale is extremely hard and it's speed is extremely fast with strength that can even crush a mountain, everyone be careful and use your best technique to attack one's you see an opening." Long Chen instantly spoke up and as for what had happened to David, he couldn't careless about it. 

"Go!" Different treasured blades and sword flew through the air with metal energy spiking through the chart. 

"Cloud Flow sword!"

"One with the wind!"

"Oceanic wave!"

Different techniques sliced apart the wind the four disciples attacked immediately!

But the scale of the rank three beast was just too strong and its speed was simply too fast! They were unable to even touch the beast as it dodged their flying blades.

Long Chen's flying sword managed to touch the skin of the beast but was unable to piece through its scale. And from the way things are going, it's only a matter of time before they exhaust their mental strength and would be killed by the Demonic Beast.

The Dragon scale panther seem as though it was toying with them as it didn't attack but easily dodger the attacks sent its way. It had a mocking expression on its face as it easily toyed with its prey.

"That was embarrassing."

A voice suddenly said as a man walked out from within the forest, dusting his cloth. The young man was David. 

Long Chen's eyes flashed and he immediately spoke up as he changed his hand seal, forming a sword Kinesis technique to attack the beast. 

"It's good you are alright. This beast is impervious to ordinary technique and would barely do it any harm.. Brother David, please hold it down for me while I prepare my ultimate attack." Not bothering to see if David would agree or not, Long Chen immediately withdrew to the back, leaving Zhu Shimei, David and the other two disciples to lock the beast down 

Upon hearing this, David shrugged. Holding the beast back shouldn't be that difficult moreover, he wanted to see this ultimate attack Long Chen was talking about. 

His hands joined together and then formed several afterimages. His flying blade rose to the skies and he joined in on the attacks. 

"Lighting Splice!" The atmosphere crackled and the place seem to darken slightly as the the sound of clouds rumbling could be heard. 

In an instant, a flash if lightning could be seen as David's blade flew through the air like lightning. Unpredictable! Unstoppable! 

"Boom! Boom!"

Blood splashed in the air and the Dragon panther howled loudly as it was been injured. It angrily turned towards David's direction but before it could do anything, the temperature in the area suddenly rose and then an illusion of a single spark or flint rose up to the skies, drawing everyone attention. 

"Phoenix Spark!" Long Chen's voice could be heard.

The spark of flame immediately descended and slammed into the beast.
