Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 654 - 649: Surrounding and Intercepting, Spirit Turtle Feeling Disheartened
Chapter 654 -649: Surrounding and Intercepting, Spirit Turtle Feeling Disheartened
“Ah… shut up! Just shut up!”
Luo Jianbei roared in fury, overwhelmed with grief and indignation!
Were these not the treasures passed down through generations of their family, and now they were being gnawed on like chicken legs by these two people?
Were they even human?
How could a human eat gold and iron, let alone ordinary gold and iron? These were Flying Swords that had been refined into top-quality Spiritual Treasures, which combined could even be used as Immortal Artifacts. Let alone humans, even Primordial Iron-Eating Beasts might not be able to bite through such hard Flying Swords without reaching a certain realm in their Cultivation!
What saddened Luo Jianbei even more was that if only one or two Flying Swords had been bitten and damaged, it would have been manageable. As long as he could retrieve the swords quickly and repair them with a secret technique, there could be hope. But now, so many had been destroyed at once.
Especially with Qin Feng, it would have been bearable if he just chewed on one in his mouth, but with nine dragon heads on his back, each taking a sword, and together with the one in Li Miaozhen’s hand, a total of eleven Flying Swords were snatched away!
Luo Jianbei hurriedly retrieved the remaining two Flying Swords while constantly forming Sword techniques with his hands, manipulating the subdued Flying Sword to twist and bounce, unleashing sharp Sword Qi, trying to snatch back his family treasure from the opponent’s mouth.
“Scram!”
Li Miaozhen felt the Flying Sword in her hand struggling relentlessly, with the fierce Sword Qi causing sparks to fly from her grip, and even when she bit into it, Sword Qi kept bursting out, which immediately annoyed her and made Luo Jianbei even more displeasing to the eye.
Even though her achievements in the Body Refinement Path were much stronger than Qin Feng’s, and she wasn’t even cut by the Sword Qi, it still hurt!
No one likes to have their teeth spark with Sword Qi while eating, which was a huge detriment to the taste for Li Miaozhen!
Moreover, her condition was problematic now, and she would become irritable and easily angered by the slightest inconvenience.
Thus, with one hand, she imprisoned the Flying Sword, and with the other, she drew the White Tiger Saber and hacked down on Luo Jianbei.
The saber strike was filled with rage and thus more powerful. Luo Jianbei used his sword to block but was directly sent flying three thousand zhang away!
“Hmph!”
Li Miaozhen stood with her saber, her heroic stature imposing, her eyes contemptuously looking down on Luo Jianbei, clearly indicating that if he didn’t start showing some respect, she would cut him down with one strike!
“Sister Miao Zhen’s divine power!”
While Qin Feng complimented her with his words, his brows remained tightly furrowed.
He felt that Li Miaozhen’s situation was indeed getting more and more severe. Normally, even when she won against an opponent and showed arrogance and domineering behavior, she would not display it so blatantly.
“What’s this? Let me show you the Saber Skill I’ve recently grasped!”
Li Miaozhen, overflowing with pride, was getting ready to use Luo Jianbei to demonstrate her new skill.
This action not only startled Luo Jianbei but also left Qin Feng with mixed feelings of laughter and tears.
He quickly grabbed Li Miaozhen’s hand, sheathed the White Tiger Saber for her, and then dragged her away, “Sister, why keep fighting? Don’t you see the pursuers from both sides have already caught up? If we don’t leave now, we might run into trouble.”
“Oh, then let’s go!”
The normally irritable Li Miaozhen, surprisingly, didn’t resist Qin Feng’s actions and let him sheathe the White Tiger Saber and pull her away by the hand.
This was partly due to her lack of awareness for the need to keep her distance from the opposite sex, but more importantly, she didn’t dislike Qin Feng’s closeness. When Qin Feng pulled her hand, her agitated heart even calmed down a bit.
The two were enveloped in Light Escape, running madly while continuously munching non-stop, crunch crunch.
Especially Qin Feng, with nine ferocious and terrifying dragon heads moving behind him like a peacock spreading its feathers, framing him as if he were a peerless Demon King emerging from the Abyss.
Compared to his small bites, the large dragon heads were more straightforward, taking the whole Flying Sword into their mouths, occasionally extending two dragon claws to assist in holding it, making it easier to exert force.
Li Miaozhen looked at Qin Feng and couldn’t help but feel annoyed.
She thought she should have released her White Tiger Dharma Image to join in the feast of Flying Swords. Although she didn’t have as many heads as Qin Feng, her White Tiger looked quite imposing too.
Behind them, Luo Jianbei had no idea what she was thinking; otherwise, he would have been infuriated to the point of vomiting blood.
These two had already snatched away over half of his Flying Swords and still weren’t planning to spare the remaining two he held!
Seeing that Li Shentong and the others had caught up, Luo Jianbei glared at them fiercely with red eyes, cursing them inwardly as useless for taking so long to arrive!
At the same time, he also quietly admonished himself never to be so zealous in the future, as chasing a powerful enemy alone made it difficult to capture them and left him vulnerable to heavy losses.
Just like this time, treasures that his family had passed down for so many years had been snatched away!
However, it was also fortunate he had those Flying Swords upfront to take the brunt; otherwise, he might have lost not just treasures but his life as well.
After all, neither Qin Feng nor Li Miaozhen was someone he could defeat, and it wouldn’t take long for the two of them to join forces and slay him!
“Fellow Daoists, what are you dawdling for, don’t use your full strength to deploy your Escape Techniques and capture them; do you really want to let them get away?”
Li Shentong and the others glanced at Luo Jianbei.
Of course, they saw the embarrassing state of Luo Jianbei and knew his significant loss, feeling secretly relieved while also frowning, for their Escape Techniques were indeed insufficient to catch up with the fleeing Qin Feng and company!
Just then, the several beams of Light Escape chasing Li Miaozhen also approached.
From a distance, someone shouted, “Ahead is Daoist Fellow Luo, eh, and Brother Zhang of the Treasure Pavilion, too! We are pursuing that woman, and if you’re willing to join forces, I have a Nine Yang Divine Shuttle here, which can gather the strength of nine people to accelerate and catch up.”
“So it’s Daoist Fellow Chi Yan from the Nine Yang Palace.”
Seeing the speaker, Fatty Zhang’s eyes immediately lit up and, without concerning himself with the grudge between the other party and Li Miaozhen, he prioritized catching up with Qin Feng, as getting to enter the Beiming Immortal Mansion and splitting the treasures with these people would still be better than getting nothing at all.
Especially for Luo Jianbei, who not only failed to gain anything but had also lost a large part of his family’s heritage treasures; if he couldn’t make up for it from the Beiming Immortal Mansion, his loss would be substantial!
So, they quickly nodded in agreement, leapt onto the Nine Yang Divine Shuttle, and according to Chi Yan Daoist’s instructions, they inputted their True Yuan into the Divine Shuttle. Under Chi Yan Daoist’s manipulation, their speed greatly increased, and they chased after Qin Feng and company as fast as lightning.
Ahead, Qin Feng and his companion conversed while flying, occasionally crunching on Flying Swords in their hands, like gnawing on sugarcane, making a continual crunching sound that shocked the followers and deeply pained Luo Jianbei!
“Hiss, these two, what kind of backgrounds do they have?”
The group stood atop the Nine Yang Divine Shuttle, looking at each other while listening to the crunching sounds; they couldn’t help but feel their scalps tingle. When did such freaks appear in the Cultivation World?
Treating top-grade Spiritual Treasures as snacks was utterly unheard of.
If these two were to Prove Dao and Become Immortals in the future, could they possibly even gnaw on Immortal Artifacts?
As this thought crossed their minds, Li Shentong and the others couldn’t help but shiver and even began to doubt whether these two could really be from the Human Clan.
If it were not for their deep obsession with the Beiming Immortal Mansion and their reluctance to give up this opportunity, they would’ve likely turned and fled, as most people wouldn’t want to offend such characters!
“You there, woman, return my treasure and I will let you go!”
Chi Yan Daoist shouted from afar.
Seeing the performance of Qin Feng and Li Miaozhen, it was evident he was already considering retreat, but it was only because Li Miaozhen had previously snatched a treasure he was assured of that he kept on her trail!
Luo Jianbei, at that moment, became considerably more astute, immediately detecting the retreat in Chi Yan Daoist’s words; his eyes shifting, he likewise shouted, “Thief of the Void Sect, return my Flying Swords quickly and leave Beiming Immortal Mansion behind, and I guarantee I will not trouble you further!”
“Hm?”
“What? Beiming Immortal Mansion?”
“Could he be that Void Sect thief who snatched the Beiming Immortal Mansion?”
Upon hearing this, Chi Yan Daoist and the cultivators next to him suddenly brightened up, immediately casting aside their previous apprehensions and their hearts being overtaken by intense greed.
“So the Beiming Immortal Mansion is on him, no wonder fellow Daoists are chasing relentlessly!”
The Chi Yan Daoist’s spell in his hand changed, and the Nine Yang Divine Shuttle sped up even further, “Such an opportunity must not be missed. Fellow Daoists, let us join forces and take down this fellow, together exploring the treasures within!”
Luo Jianbei hurriedly said, “To encounter is to have fate, the Beiming Immortal Mansion was originally left by a Great Power of our Northern Domain after slaying the Demon Clan in ancient times as an opportunity for us Cultivators. It should naturally be that finders are keepers, how could it be his alone!
That thief is cunning and powerful, and ordinary Cultivators are really not his match, let alone with that woman accompanying him. Since we are working together, we must explore it together!”
“What Daoist Fellow says is very true!”
Several Daoists behind Chi Yan nodded repeatedly.
Li Shentong and the others exchanged glances and did not refute.
Things had already reached this stage; they had already offended Qin Feng, and it was too late to regret it now. They might as well continue the chase to seize the Beiming Immortal Mansion and accomplish the Immortal Dao at an earlier date!
“These fellows really are persistent!”
Ahead, Qin Feng glanced back, shaking his head helplessly.
As expected, for wealth, man dies; for food, the bird perishes; it’s truly an unbreakable truth through the ages!
For the sake of the Beiming Immortal Mansion, they had really spared no effort. Even now, they were still in hot pursuit, even taking out their treasured Divine Shuttles to chase after him.
But, you have a Divine Shuttle, do I not have one?
Qin Feng sneered, waving his hand and releasing the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Space Escape Divine Shuttle. He enveloped both himself and the accompanying Spirit Turtle within the space created by the Space Escape Divine Shuttle and rapidly flew towards the distance.
Previously, he had used this Treasure while evading pursuit in the Beiming Sea Area, and later, to avoid being recognized, he kept it in his possession and did not use it. Now that these people were aware of his identity, there was no need to hide it any longer.
“Hey, where did this turtle come from? Is this a new Spiritual Beast you’ve tamed?”
Li Miaozhen, because she was agitated, and also because of the joy of encountering Qin Feng, her attention was either on Qin Feng or focused on the battle. She hadn’t looked at the Spirit Turtle previously, but now that it followed them into the space of the Space Escape Divine Shuttle, she finally noticed its presence!
The Spirit Turtle glared at Li Miaozhen with wide eyes, while the Eight Trigrams Divine Pattern on its back kept rotating with Spirit Light.
Hmph, it, a lofty Exotic Species Divine Turtle, when has it ever been treated in such a way, even when it plotted against other Demon Beasts in the past? As soon as it made an appearance, it was always the center of attention in the crowd!
And this woman, she even dared to ignore it!
So it planned to perform a Prediction Divination to find an opportunity to exact revenge later on.
However, after the Spirit Light flickered for a while, it ultimately gave up on the divination and pushed aside the grudge it held in its heart, pretending the earlier incident never even happened!
Because it turned out that this was a person similar to Qin Feng, someone with a dense Qi Fortune that was frightening. Just a momentary attempt at divination not only made it dizzy and nauseous, but it also nearly suffered backlash.
Fortunately, its Dao Cultivation was shallow, and it hadn’t delved deeply into the Heavenly Dao Operation to probe Li Miaozhen’s secrets, and it stopped the divination in time. Otherwise, if it had caused backlash, its Innate Divine Ability might have dissipated entirely.
“Not bad.”
Qin Feng glanced at the Spirit Turtle, stroking its round head, and silently warned it not to cause trouble, while he said to Li Miaozhen, “This Spirit Turtle has an innate talent for Prediction Divination, and it’s quite miraculous. I’ll tell my senior sister about it later!”
“Oh? Divination Talent?” ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
Li Miaozhen immediately perked up with interest when she heard this, and she leaned in closer to the Spirit Turtle to take a careful look, “No wonder I felt something odd just now; you were trying to divine about me, weren’t you?
Let’s hear it, did you conclude anything? If it’s good, there will be a reward!”
While speaking, she took out an Immortal Fruit, fragrant and enticing, from her sleeve.
The Immortal Fruit not only smelled incredibly aromatic, but its dense Dao Rhythm was also eye-catching.
The Spirit Turtle sniffed and almost drooled.
But after hesitating for a moment, it eventually didn’t dare to deceive Li Miaozhen, so it refrained from blabbering.
It wasn’t just because of the relationship between Li Miao Zhen and Qin Feng, nor solely due to the rich Qi Fortune surrounding her. If they deceived her now, even if they obtained the Immortal Fruit, they would fear that in the future, they would have to compensate tenfold to resolve today’s cause and effect!
“Useless!”
Seeing it shake its head, Li Miao Zhen couldn’t help but complain, causing the Spirit Turtle to instantly shrink its head back into its shell, not daring to show itself again.
…
“Oh no, this is bad!”
Behind them, Chi Yan Sage scrutinized the treasure Qin Feng had summoned for a moment, and he couldn’t help but slap his thigh and exclaimed, “Isn’t the treasure that thief is using the Space Escape Divine Shuttle, famously known throughout the Ancient times?”
“Hmm? Is what Daoist Fellow Chi Yan says true?”
Among the others, there were also cultivators who had heard of the reputation of this Immortal Artifact. Upon hearing Chi Yan Daoist’s words, they were immediately shocked!
“It must be genuine!”
Chi Yan Daoist twirled his beard and said, “Although it’s not the original Space Escape Divine Shuttle, it must be an Immortal Artifact refined by an Immortal of the Void Sect. Otherwise, it wouldn’t be so incredibly fast.
My Nine Yang Divine Shuttle is actually modeled after the Space Escape Divine Shuttle and crafted by the ancestors of my sect. It lacks the numerous functions of the Space Escape Divine Shuttle. Even with several Daoist Fellow’s assistance, I’m afraid we won’t be able to catch up to them!”
“What should we do then?”
The rest of them obviously did not want to give up the chance to enter the Beiming Immortal Mansion and immediately someone said, “Let’s quickly send out a message for interception ahead. It doesn’t matter if more people enter the Beiming Immortal Mansion. After all, hundreds of people enter every time it opens, and yet there are still those who find the chance to achieve Becoming an Immortal. It’s better to have more people fighting for it than to get nothing at all!”
“This… Alright then!”
The others only hesitated for a moment before they nodded and agreed.
Thus, they each used their methods to send the message out. Although the Communication Talismans weren’t as fast as the Space Escape Divine Shuttle, there were plenty of ways to pass messages in the Cultivation World, not just through Communication Talismans.
For instance, Fatty Zhang took out a copper mirror from his bosom, wrote the situation on its surface, and soon received a response from the Treasure Pavilion. They had already mobilized personnel from the nearby markets to dispatch experts to intercept Qin Feng.
And then there was Chi Yan Daoist, who took from his waist a small beast head that seemed like a mere decoration. He whispered into the ear of the beast head, and after a moment, the beast head trembled slightly, signaling a message back. It was a reaction from an Elder of the Nine Yang Sect after receiving the transmission!
The consequence of such actions was that very soon, cultivators were blocking their way ahead!
In the beginning, there were only one or two Primordial Spirit Realm Cultivators with profound Dao cultivation, as those were the only ones who could make it in time.
However, relying on just one or two Primordial Spirit Cultivators obviously wasn’t enough to stop Qin Feng and his company. As each cultivator was repelled one by one, more and more messages were sent out, and more cultivators were called to action from the back, directly setting up a War Formation to intercept!
By this point, the situation could no longer be concealed.
After all, such a commotion was difficult to ignore by other cultivators. Plus, Qin Feng’s Space Escape Divine Shuttle, although mysterious, was an exposed treasure and was soon recognized by others. Immediately, a stream of messages was sent out.
Then, every Sect, Market, and Family in the vicinity, as long as they believed they had some strength, all went mad to inquire about Qin Feng’s whereabouts, swarming toward his last known location.
Although most people didn’t arrive on time, with Qin Feng already controlling the Space Escape Divine Shuttle to escape without a trace, there were always many people from all directions who managed to intercept Qin Feng and his company, necessitating both of them to face each challenge one by one!
As the situation escalated, even many major sect cultivators disguised their appearance and prepared to secretly make a move on the Beiming Immortal Mansion.
As for those Immortals, barring a very few Loose Immortals, truly none would brazenly break the rules to compete with the junior for opportunities.
Even if the Beiming Immortal Mansion was a treasure that even Immortal Great Powers desired, since it was a small cultivator of the Dharma Image Realm who had obtained it, their sending a few Primordial Spirit Cultivators was considered normal; if even the Immortals took action personally, it would be somewhat against the rules.
Moreover, by this time, the appearances of the two, Qin Feng, had been spread, and many high-level cultivators from major sects had recognized them, so they certainly would not act rashly!
After all, this was a Master of Qi Luck of the Biluo Heavenly Dao. Those below might not know their real identity, or even knowing it, chose not to reveal it, covertly encouraging others to act, hoping to perhaps share in the spoils. But as for those who personally made a move on the Master of Qi Luck, absolutely none knew their true identities!
Even so, Qin Feng and the companion were relentlessly pursued and obstructed by countless cultivators, suffering terribly in the chase!
