We made you practice martial arts, and you've mastered the Great Golden Body?

Back to the original topic.

“Okay…” Bai Suzhen looked at the smoke trail in the sky, the smoke curling upwards in a spiral. She pursed her lips and pondered for less than a moment before finally agreeing to Shen Bailian’s request.

Although it's a huge favor, only by surviving can you have the chance to repay it, right?
"Young Master Shen, you must hold on and wait for me here." Bai Suzhen held her sword, clasped her hands and bowed to Shen Bailian in front of her, and then fled into the distance without hesitation.

Not at all muddle-headed.

"Brother, that person is trying to escape." The sharp-eyed Red-Clad Crane Boy quickly noticed Bai Suzhen's little movement. Then the two of them exchanged a glance and, without hesitation, tried to bypass Shen Bailian in the middle and chase after Bai Suzhen.

The herb is the most important thing; as for the others, they can be put aside for now and dealt with later.

however.

bass!
A sudden clang of metal striking metal rang out, instantly sending chills down the spines of the two crane-like children, filling them with dread.

Both of them subconsciously exerted all their strength, increasing their altitude and rising above the cedar forest.

And at the same time.

Chi!
With a soft sound, like a feather skimming across a tranquil lake, a scythe formed from the condensation and compression of pure gas suddenly appeared, tearing through space and time.

Their speed was astonishing; if it weren't for the profound cultivation of these two crane attendants, they wouldn't have been able to react at all.

In an instant, a cold light flashed, and the surrounding air seemed to be cut by a sharp blade, emitting a painful groan. In the blink of an eye, the air sickle snapped hundreds and thousands of century-old cedar trees in half.

The cut was as smooth as a mirror, seemingly reflecting glitter even in the icy snow.

Terrifying and horrifying.

next moment.

"Boom! Boom!"

The deafening roar from the cedar forest below and the distant snowfield was like thunder, shaking the heavens and earth.

The snow-covered area, stretching for dozens of miles, is collapsing at a rate far exceeding what it was before, with large chunks of snow carrying boulders tumbling down the cliffs.

Where the avalanche passed, everything was buried, and the rising snow fog blotted out the sun, completely swallowing up the patches of green on the earth.

Upon hearing this voice, Bai Suzhen, who had already stepped onto the incense path, immediately turned around curiously to take a look.

It was as if she hadn't looked at it at all; once she did, her steps faltered in mid-air, and even her breath caught in her throat for a moment. This power, this destructive force, was something she could hardly achieve even in her prime, without the aid of magical treasures.

Could it really be done by a mere ordinary martial artist?

Bai Suzhen took a deep look at the gradually blurring figure in the wind and snow. Perhaps in the other person's eyes, she really was just a burden.

Still offering help?
It's good enough if they don't stay and make things worse.

Seeing this, Bai Suzhen no longer conserved her energy, transformed into a half-demon, and went all out to return along the smoke trail that stretched across the sky.

The two crane attendants had no time to pay attention to Bai Suzhen's escape, since they hadn't taken the chase seriously from beginning to end.

After all, it was just a magical herb; losing it is no big deal.

Since it wasn't uprooted or damaged at its core, it has the potential to recover in time.

On the contrary, who exactly is this "freak" in front of us?
The two crane-like children's pupils constricted, sharp as swords, as they stared incredulously at the dozens of miles of collapsed snowfield below. Their gaze swept across the distant avalanche scene and finally landed on the man who was slowly retracting his leg.

"Hey, you two, can't you understand human language?" Shen Bailian chuckled, his torn clothes fluttering in the cold wind.

His face was cold and stern, his sword-like eyebrows slanted upwards to his temples, and his eyes were like two bottomless abysses, exuding a chilling and murderous aura.

He pulled his leg back from where he had raised it high; the earth-shattering blow he had just delivered was nothing more than a simple matter for him.

The sound echoed continuously in the wind and snow, even drowning out the howling wind and snow at one point, causing the solemn expressions on the faces of the two crane boys to suddenly disappear.

Instead, his face turned ashen.

This is a provocation, a blatant provocation!
Whoosh!Whoosh!
Before the snow had even fallen, two sharp whooshing sounds instantly echoed through the entire pine forest as two crane-like children charged towards Shen Bailian.

Since the other side wants war, then let's fight!

If neither of them responds to the challenge, they will not only lose face for themselves, but also for the face of the one above them in the heavens.

Tolerable or unbearable.

"Perfect timing." Shen Bailian naturally wouldn't turn away the "experience points" that were delivered to his door. With a slight thought, the [Five Elements Breathing Technique] was immediately activated at full power, its sound like thunder.

Furthermore, he took out several Yuan Crystals from his storage ring and stuffed them into the inside pocket of his clothes.

Although his nanosuit had been largely destroyed in the previous battle, it still retained some functionality due to the nature of the fight.

As long as the battle isn't excessively intense, the elemental crystal can be protected from falling.

Of course, to think that it could actually boost combat power is wishful thinking.

In an instant.

"Bang! Bang bang bang!"

Shen Bailian clashed fiercely with the two crane attendants. The figure of the two cranes and the man darted back and forth in the Kunlun Mountains, their speed far exceeding the speed of sound, so fast that they seemed to transform into streaks of light.

In the sky, extremely clear tracks were left behind.

The surrounding snow was constantly cracked by the aftershocks of their battle, and deep, spiderweb-like cracks spread rapidly in all directions.

Even the fallen cedar trees around them were violently shaken by the aftershocks of the battle, and were torn into pieces, turning into dust and merging with the ice and snow.

The deafening roar became the accompaniment to this fierce battle.

It must be said that the physical strength of these two crane children is completely inferior to that of the golden-haired lion.

Therefore, Shen Bailian only used half of his strength and had not yet summoned the full moon in his dantian, yet he was able to easily deal with the attacks of the two crane children.

The magical power within the Black-Collared Crane Boy's body gathered, and his wings became even more dazzling, as if shrouded in a layer of golden light that remained condensed and unyielding.

Swish!Swish!Swish!
In an instant, its wings, enhanced by magical power, transformed into a pair of incomparably sharp longswords, their sword energy whistling as they relentlessly slashed towards Shen Bailian.

In this regard.

Shen Bailian's response was extremely simple: brute force. He used his incredibly hard body to withstand the attack, and with a casual punch, all the golden sword energy in its path was destroyed in the explosion, forming a howling storm of sword energy that directly annihilated everything around it.

Soon, as the distance closed, Shen Bailian's observational skills, enhanced to an extremely high level by the full power of the [Eye of God].

He quickly found an opportunity, taking advantage of the Black-Collared Crane Boy's attack recovery animation. He then grinned, took a step forward, clenched his fists, tensed the muscles in his arms, and launched a fierce attack on the Black-Collared Crane Boy.

Twin peaks pierce the ears.

"boom!"

As a terrifying shockwave spread outwards, the originally fierce gaze of the Black-Clad Crane Child suddenly became clear, and fragrant blood flowed from its ears.

The black-collared crane boy's body trembled like a leaf, and his mind was filled with a buzzing sound, as if thousands of bees were buzzing, which overwhelmed his consciousness and made his entire crane become chaotic.

They lost their fighting ability immediately.

If no one comes to the rescue, it basically means that the Black-Collared Crane Boy has been eliminated.

However, the two crane boys, who were positioned at the rear, could not possibly stand idly by and watch all of this happen. Despite their bickering and commotion, they did not remain indifferent.

But ultimately, they are fellow disciples.

Noisy arguments are a sign of a close relationship.

"Hey! Stop, you thief!"

Upon seeing this, the two crane attendants immediately became enraged and anxious. They focused their minds, gathered their energy in their dantian, and unhesitatingly unleashed the Soul-Seizing Sound.

This caused Shen Bailian, who was about to proceed to the next step, to pause slightly, and his consciousness became momentarily blurred.

Then, the magical power within the Red-Clad Crane Boy's body surged and flowed, and several energy orbs shimmering with a hazy blue light condensed around him.

It shot out suddenly.

All of a sudden.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Energy orbs shimmering with a hazy blue light rained down on Shen Bailian in an instant, covering his vision with a hazy blue light. After he destroyed all the energy orbs...

Looking down, he was surprised to find that the black-collared crane had disappeared and appeared several hundred meters away beside the red-collared crane boy, who had also recovered from his dizziness.

“I already said that.” Shen Bailian didn’t chase after them. He shook his head, his mind clearing of the abnormal state in his head. Looking at the two crane boys in the distance, he sneered, “You can’t go over there without my permission.”

It must be said that the issue of "legal resistance" is a truly fatal problem.

As mentioned earlier, the cultivation system of the Zhenyuan Universe is a relatively extreme one, with a very large emphasis on the physical body and a relatively small emphasis on the spirit.

The requirement for mental strength is also very simple: just enough.

It's fine as long as you stay within the Zhenyuan Universe, but once you leave it, especially in such a universe, this disadvantage will be magnified infinitely, and may even become a fatal flaw.

Fortunately, Shen Bailian has now entered the Embracing Moon Realm, and his spirit, body, and primal force have been initially integrated. Ordinary soul shocks are unlikely to pose a threat to him.

If he were still in the Opening Sea Realm, the outcome of this battle would be hard to predict.

"Hey." The red-collared second crane attendant glanced discreetly at the black-collared first crane attendant, who was still recovering, then his eyes darted around before he looked at Shen Bailian and continued:
"You don't seem to have said that."

"Huh?" Shen Bailian was stunned for a moment, then immediately realized what the Red-Collared Crane Boy was talking about. He shook his head helplessly, looked at the Black-Collared Great Crane Boy who had not yet fully recovered, and chuckled twice.

These two crane attendants are far too weak compared to the golden-haired lion.

However, upon closer examination, it makes sense. After all, the Golden-haired Hou's predecessor was a true deity, but due to his arrogant nature, he offended too many gods and immortals.

Therefore, when he was demoted to a mount, no deity or immortal stood up to help him.

And what about these two crane boys?
In this world, his cultivation level is rather weak; he can only bully those great demons whose cultivation is less than three thousand years old. The only thing worthy of respect from ordinary people is probably the title of the attendant under his command.

It looks nice but is useless; it's all show and no substance.

Shen Bailian fought the two crane boys for more than ten seconds, but the experience points he gained were far less than one-tenth of what he gained in a one-tenth of a second of fighting the golden-haired lion.

The difference is nearly a hundredfold.

Moreover, with just one strike piercing the ears from both peaks, the stronger Black-Collar Crane Child was rendered powerless, let alone the weaker Red-Collar Crane Child.

Therefore, Shen Bailian had completely lost interest in gaining experience points from these two comedic characters.

"Are you stalling for time? Waiting for your brother... or rather, your senior brother to recover?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? You clearly didn't say that before..."

Seeing that the two Red-Collar Crane Boys were still arguing, Shen Bailian was not going to waste any more time. He flashed and arrived beside them before the Red-Collar Crane Boys could move, and pressed down on their shoulders, making them unable to move.

Shen Bailian took a deep sniff, and immediately an exceptionally fresh and fragrant scent filled his nostrils—the scent emanating from the blood of the Black-Collared Crane Boy.

He was now increasingly certain that these two crane attendants should not be touched lightly.

Judging from the fact that its blood is so full of medicinal fragrance, it is definitely not wild, but domesticated, and not something that ordinary families can afford to raise.

Furthermore, their obese size suggests that the owner of these two crane attendants is somewhat indulgent towards them.

"Whether I said it or not, this matter is over." Shen Bailian smiled, pressing down on the shoulders of the Red-Collared Crane Boy, firmly fixing him in place in the snow, unable to move. "Do you understand what I said?"

"Ah."

"Understood, very well understood!" Upon hearing this, the Red-Clad Crane Boy was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Shen Bailian meant.

But upon seeing Shen Bailian's increasingly cold gaze, it immediately nodded frantically. Although it verbally agreed, it had a different thought in its heart.

When he gets back, he must file a complaint and make that damned brute realize his mistake.

"That's good." Shen Bailian's face brightened and he smiled, but in the eyes of the Red-Clad Crane Boy, he was nothing short of a devil.

boom!
With a loud bang, Shen Bailian's figure suddenly appeared a thousand meters in the sky, then turned ninety degrees and sped off towards Lin'an City.

Time flies, and another month has passed in the blink of an eye.
