The power of the Ninth Level Spiritual Beast, Scarlet Flame Fire Unicorn Beast, far exceeded Xiao Yang’s expectations.
In his previous life, he had heard tales of this beast’s terror.
He thought those people were exaggerating.
But now, it seemed he had underestimated this beast.
Spiritual beasts ranged from weak to strong, classified into ten levels, where level one was the weakest and level ten was the strongest.
A Ninth Level Spiritual Beast could contend with formidable beings at the peak of the Divine Martial Realm.
A level ten beast could rival those on the verge of the Sacred Martial Realm.
Gui Yijian was only at a mid-level Divine Martial Realm cultivation.
How could he possibly be a match for the Scarlet Flame Fire Unicorn Beast?
At that moment, a pair of wicked claws from the beast had already sunk deeply into Gui Yijian’s form.
The Protective Gang Qi surrounding Gui Yijian shattered in an instant.
To Xiao Yang’s eyes, it seemed Gui Yijian was done for.
However, just as the Scarlet Flame Fire Unicorn Beast was about to rip Gui Yijian apart, a burst of light erupted from him.
A phantom of golden armor emerged from Gui Yijian’s body.
An overwhelming power exploded from the golden armor illusion.
The Scarlet Flame Fire Unicorn Beast was actually knocked back.
As the beast was sent flying, the golden armor faded into nothingness.
In Gui Yijian’s hand, a jade talisman shattered.
“The Golden Armor Talisman of the Shifang Qimen?”
Upon witnessing this, Xiao Yang couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.
Shifang Qimen was the tenth force in the Northern Region.
It specialized in talisman-making, alchemy, weapon crafting, formations, feng shui, and various other extraordinary skills.
This sect gathered exceptional talents; its power was not to be underestimated.
“Unbelievable, I shall split the heavens with one sword!”
Gui Yijian was furious, a mid-level Divine Martial Realm expert like him almost fell to this beast’s claws.
“Buzz!”
A sharp keening of a sword rang out.
A dazzling golden flying sword shot from his body, transforming into a fierce sword rainbow that pierced directly towards the Scarlet Flame Fire Unicorn Beast.
Gui Yijian had already cultivated Sword Intent.
His sword speed was at its peak.
The Scarlet Flame Fire Unicorn Beast couldn’t evade Gui Yijian’s strike.
But the next moment, the beast swatted the incoming sword light away and leaped towards Gui Yijian.
Gui Yijian soared up, fighting fiercely against the Scarlet Flame Fire Unicorn Beast with his sword light.
“What are you waiting for? This is a rare opportunity, hurry and grab items with your Qiankun Bag!”
Xiao Yang shouted at the dazed Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang.
“Yes, yes, yes… Grab the bag for items, no wait, it’s the Qiankun Bag for spiritual stones and herbs.”
Lin Wangchuan fumbled to take out his Qiankun Bag and started collecting.
Song Qiang didn’t slack either; these were premium Skyfire Crystals—this quality of spirit crystals were as rare as unicorns, a dream resource for cultivators.
Not to mention the various high-grade spiritual herbs scattered everywhere.
These items were treasured cultivation resources outside.
Picking just one would fetch an exorbitant price.
And here, they could pick them up at will.
They tossed the Skyfire Crystals into their Qiankun Bags without hesitation.
The spiritual herbs were like weeds being pulled up and tossed into the bags.
Soon, both of their Qiankun Bags were filled to the brim.
They were hitting the jackpot.
The two of them were exceptionally excited.
Xiao Yang also took out his Qiankun Bag, tossing in Skyfire Crystals and various herbs.
All three bags were stuffed full, overflowing.
And Xiao Yang discreetly used his Star-Picking Hand to snatch the True Phoenix Nirvana Fruit from the air while the Scarlet Flame Fire Unicorn Beast was distracted.
“Full, full! Let’s go, hurry!”
Xiao Yang urged the two.
In his previous life, he had battled for a millennium with Li Xingyao, evolving from adversaries to allies.
At times, Xiao Yang even suspected that Li Xingyao might have a bit of a crush on him.
He had learned the Star-Picking Hand from Li Xingyao in his previous life.
Of course, in that life, Li Xingyao had also taken some of his ultimate skills.
The three dashed out with their bulging Qiankun Bags.
Behind them, they heard an enraged roar from the Scarlet Flame Fire Unicorn Beast, followed by Gui Yijian’s distressing screech.
The entire underground space quaked violently.
Clearly, the Scarlet Flame Fire Unicorn Beast had gone berserk upon finding the fruit missing.
“Deservedly so!”
Xiao Yang rode up on his flying sword back the way they came.
The space inside the Qiankun Bags was limited, but they had stuffed them full, enough resources to help Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang reach the Heavenly Martial Realm, or even the Divine Martial Realm.
From then on, they wouldn’t need to worry about lacking cultivation resources.
Xiao Yang was merely playing around.
His real target was the True Phoenix Nirvana Fruit.
To Xiao Yang, in this earth vein, the most precious item was this fruit.
Eating it would not only boost his power for a century, but also allow him to undergo a complete transformation, breaking through to the Divine Martial Realm.
He originally wanted to break through to the Divine Martial Realm before the great competition.
This way, he could sweep away geniuses from various sects, easily suppressing those so-called Holy Sons and Divine Daughters, ultimately seizing the top spot in the competition.
Just thinking about it brought him immense satisfaction.
As Xiao Yang and his companions burst out from the fire spirit earth vein, they ran into a few people.
“Qin Fei?”
Isn’t it true that misfortune loves company? Just as they emerged, they bumped into this guy.
Alongside Qin Fei were Jiang Ting, Zheng Fan, Lei Renjie, and Han Bin.
“Senior Brother, what’s this…”
Zheng Fan stared in shock at the three holding Qiankun Bags.
Everyone was equally astonished by the Qiankun Bags they were clutching.
The openings of the bags were tied tight, yet spiritual lights were spilling out.
Everyone’s eyes lit up.
“Ah, you wouldn’t believe it, it’s stuffed with premium crystals and herbs—so many that our Qiankun Bags can’t hold them! We’re leaving now. Let us stash the stuff back home before we return, but don’t tell anyone, okay?”
Xiao Yang said as he waved Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang to leave.
“Premium crystals, premium herbs?”
Qin Fei got pumped, the others followed suit.
Especially Qin Fei, he dashed into the left fire spirit earth vein without a care.
The others scrambled to follow, fearing they’d be too late and would miss out on all the good stuff.
You see, in this newly discovered vein, whatever they secured was theirs, no need to return it to the sect.
Xiao Yang and his friends didn’t venture far.
“Senior Holy Son, why don’t you tell them how dangerous it is in there?”
Lin Wangchuan asked in confusion.
“Why tell them? Isn’t it better if they face some challenges?” Xiao Yang replied nonchalantly.
He was simply waiting for the show to unfold.
Song Qiang glanced at Xiao Yang but held his tongue, thinking that his Senior Brother had changed a lot.
Don’t forget that their little sister Jiang Ting was also inside.
Formerly, the Senior Brother wouldn’t let their little sister get hurt, and he definitely wouldn’t send her into dangerous places.
The Senior Brother used to coddle the little sister like a precious gem.
Had the Senior Brother truly stopped liking the little sister?
At that moment, an earth-shattering roar of a savage beast erupted from the left fire spirit earth vein, while the ice spirit vein remained eerily silent.
This earth vein was a rare yin-yang vein, condensing fiery earth on one side while gathering cold air on the other.
The wonders of nature were indeed beyond imagination.
Sadly, this exceptional land teeming with natural wonders had been destroyed in Xiao Yang’s previous life at the hands of the Demon Sect.
Then, a blood-soaked figure burst out from the fire spirit earth vein.
It was none other than Gui Yijian, his right arm severed at the shoulder, his body covered in deep claw marks down to the bone.
This tragic figure was utterly mad, fleeing for his life.
Terrified cries echoed behind him as Jiang Ting, Zheng Fan, and the others zoomed out on their flying swords, all looking like they’d seen a ghost.
What surprised Xiao Yang was the fact that Qin Fei was the last to escape.
“Roar!”
With a terrifying roar, an inferno-wreathed spirit beast exploded out from the fire spirit earth vein.
“You all go ahead! I’ll hold off this beast!”
Qin Fei shouted to everyone.
Looks like he was trying to play the hero.
“Junior Brother, you’re so righteous! I’ll go first. If you die, I’ll definitely come collect your body!”
Lei Renjie said as he dashed off without a second thought.
“Junior Brother, I really want to help, but my abilities won’t allow it. Take care of yourself!”
Zheng Fan bolted away.
Han Bin didn’t even bother to explain, he simply ran.
“Junior Brother…”
Only Jiang Ting didn’t flee.
“Senior Sister, please run, hurry!”
Qin Fei urged in desperation.
“I won’t leave; if we go, we go together!” Jiang Ting shook her head firmly.
“Senior Sister, for your sake, I’d gladly die! Please run!” Qin Fei pleaded.
“I don’t want you to die, Junior Brother…”
Jiang Ting was deeply moved, tears brimming in her eyes.
“Oh, come on, what a dramatic scene of life and death,” Xiao Yang thought, nearly wanting to gag.
Is this what Jiang Ting classifies as a pure senior-junior relationship?
That’s way too pure.
“You beast, I’ll fight you to the death!”
Qin Fei howled out, though his eyes were darting around, clearly showing he was just putting on a show, really wanting to escape.
Just then, the Scarlet Flame Fire Unicorn Beast blasted out a fireball at Qin Fei.
Qin Fei was about to dodge the fireball when…
“Hmph!”
Xiao Yang made his move.
His Tenth Level Sword Intent suddenly exploded, and the sword domain he created locked onto Qin Fei.
In an instant, Qin Fei was immobilized.
A warrior’s domain could confine an opponent.
“What…”
Qin Fei was shocked; he thought the spirit beast had some divine ability that had ensnared him.
“Boom!”
The fireball crashed right beneath Qin Fei.
At the same moment, Xiao Yang retracted the power of the sword domain.
Qin Fei let out a tragic scream as he tumbled from the air to the ground.
“Junior Brother…”
Jiang Ting gasped in horror, darting down on her sword light.
The fireball detonated, igniting Qin Fei’s lower half.
“Quick! Lie on your back on the ground!”
Xiao Yang tossed his Qiankun Bag to Song Qiang, then yelled as he charged over.
In his panic, Qin Fei actually did lie flat on the ground.
“I’m stepping on you!”
Xiao Yang spared no mercy, plummeting down to stomp directly on Qin Fei’s pants.
Qin Fei felt as if he had transcended to the Tusk of the Buddha, his mind obscured.
Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang could almost hear the sound of eggs cracking.
“Senior Brother, what are you doing…”
Jiang Ting flared up and rushed forward to pull Xiao Yang away.
“Get lost, don’t interfere with me saving him.”
Xiao Yang shoved Jiang Ting aside and stomped hard on Qin Fei’s crotch again.
Jiang Ting stumbled, nearly falling over.
“I’m stomping, I’m really stomping; I’m stomping hard! I’m stomping up and down, left and right, on one foot, on two! I’ll stomp with all my might, stomp until your guts spill out.”
Xiao Yang continued to stomp, each kick stronger than the last, making the ground tremble while Qin Fei howled in agony.
His fire was, indeed, slowly extinguishing thanks to Xiao Yang’s relentless stomping.
“Crash!”
When the last ember was put out by Xiao Yang’s foot, Qin Fei’s situation was utterly dire.
Splayed out like a dead dog on the field, he had charred blackness beneath him, a foul stench wafting from his lower half.
“No way, did I really just stomp out feces?”
Xiao Yang recoiled in disgust, pinching his nose as he stepped back.
Jiang Ting was utterly stunned by the sight.
Far away, Lin Wangchuan and Song Qiang nearly had their eyeballs pop out.
“Roar!”
At that moment, the Scarlet Flame Fire Unicorn Beast let out another roar, charging towards Xiao Yang and the others.
“You beast, don’t harm others!”
Just then, a melodious and gentle voice drifted in.
Xiao Yang felt a refreshing breeze wash over him; he couldn’t help but look up.
There floated a figure in white with long hair, resembling a celestial being. With a mere flick of her sleeve, the fierce Scarlet Flame Fire Unicorn Beast was sent flying.
The beast let out a low growl before turning tail and escaping.
The white-clothed fairy chased after it.
Xiao Yang watched the fading silhouette and murmured, “Li Chenyu, you’ve finally arrived.”
He then looked down at Qin Fei, sprawled on the ground like a dying dog.
“Junior Brother, you’re all burnt up, let’s just slice the egg and the bird in one go!”
Xiao Yang couldn’t keep the smirk off his face.
Putting on such a performance of deep affection and life-or-death devotion?
I’ll make you into a proper eunuch.
Let’s see how you’ll cozy up to each other once I turn you into sisters.
Feeling absolutely delightful!
Revenge is a feast best served fresh; you think you can mess with me?
I’ll put you through the wringer!
