You're just a single demon beast? I have a whole army of beast tamers!

"This...this is impossible!"

The sinister smile on Long Huai's face froze instantly.

How could a Qi Refining cultivator possess so many high-level spirit beasts at the same time?!

This cannot be explained by chance; it's simply...monstrous!

The black-clad monk was so terrified that he turned and tried to run away.

But would the Qin beast give them that chance?

He had already infused his magic power into the three first-grade high-quality golden arrow talismans held in his hands.

"go!"

A burst of golden light erupted as nine sharp golden arrows tore through the air, spreading out in a fan shape towards the two of them!

At the same time, he urged his thoughts on the matter, and the wave-splitting dagger in his hand transformed into a thin, dark blue line, silently attacking Long Huai's back!

With his other hand, he flung out the ice shard shuttle, which carried a chilling aura and went straight for the black-clad cultivator!

Six demonic beasts, poised to pounce, launched their attack simultaneously!

Two first-tier, fully-fledged giant pythons, one of which spewed out a viscous, corrosive water arrow.

A thick tail swept across with tremendous force!

Three late-stage Tier 1 pythons were either coiling around or biting!

With a clear cry, the Illusionary Water Phoenix unleashed several sharp water blades from its wings, sealing off the sky above!

As soon as Long Huai and his companion activated their magical artifacts, their spiritual energy was rapidly depleted.

Ultimately, all spiritual energy was exhausted.

There wasn't even time to let out a scream.

The protective aura shattered under such a dense barrage of attacks.

A golden arrow pierces the body, an ice shuttle pierces the heart, a python's tail shatters bones, and a water blade slices through the throat...

In just one exchange, two Long family cultivators, who were considered skilled even in the late stage of Qi Refining, were completely torn apart and submerged!

The battle lasted no more than three breaths from start to finish.

Qin Shou stepped forward expressionlessly, quickly clearing the battlefield, collecting the fragments of the storage bag and the shards of the magic weapon, and then using a fire talisman to dispose of the remains.

The whole process was incredibly fast.

After doing all this, he recalled all his spirit beasts, mounted the gray-feathered roc once more, and sped back towards the battlefield between the spirit fox and the dragon fierce!

From afar, he could see the Mystic Ice Spirit Fox still locked in combat with Long Li.

Ice blue and earthy yellow light collided continuously in the air.

However, almost the instant Qin's figure reappeared in sight,

Long Li's expression suddenly changed drastically!

Long Huai and the black-clad monk did not follow them back.

What does this mean?

This means that he sent two late-stage Qi Refining clansmen to pursue the Qin Beast.

In that brief moment, they were wiped out as easily as ants being crushed!

"How is that possible?!"

Long Li was surprised, and a chill ran down his spine to the top of his head.

Even with the help of a late-stage first-tier Peng bird, a mere seventh-level Qi Refining cultivator...

How could they possibly eliminate two experienced late-stage Qi Refining experts so quickly?

Unless... his hidden strength is far greater than what we see now!

Considering Qin Shou's decision to leave the second-tier spirit fox behind to cover their retreat without hesitation,

A terrifying thought exploded in Long Li's mind—he'd fallen for a trap!

That kid deliberately lured Long Huai and his companion away, then dealt with them swiftly and decisively!

Now, he is back, completely unharmed, and his breathing is not even slightly disordered!

A sense of crisis instantly gripped Long Li.

He knew he'd really messed up today!

This boy is unpredictable and mysterious!

"We can't delay any longer! We must act swiftly and decisively, capturing the leader first!"

A ruthless and resolute glint flashed in Long Li's eyes.

He bit his tongue sharply, spitting out a mouthful of blood that landed on the earthen sword in his hand.

The sword shone with a brilliant yellow light and emitted a deep hum.

This temporarily forced back the Spirit Fox's wave of ice spike attacks.

At the same time, he quietly slipped a dark gold talisman from his sleeve with his left hand.

The spiritual energy emanating from the talisman had clearly reached the mid-grade level of the second tier!

This was his most treasured life-saving item, worth over five hundred spirit stones. It was originally intended to deal with the encirclement and suppression by the Lin family's Foundation Establishment cultivators, but now he had no choice but to use it ahead of schedule.

He pretended to be forced back by the fox spirit's icy breath once again.

His figure appeared to stagger as he retreated in the direction the Qin beast had returned.

He roared, "You beast! Take this!"

The Earth-Shattering Sword shone brightly, poised to launch a full-force attack on the Spirit Fox.

But just as the spirit fox prepared to receive this attack,

A fierce glint flashed in Long Li's eyes, and the flying sword beneath his feet took an unpredictable turn.

Its speed suddenly increased several times over, like an arrow released from a bow, bypassing the fox's interception.

They charged straight at the Qin beast that had just landed!

The dark gold talisman he held in his left hand was already glowing with a dazzling light.

A surge of fire-elemental spiritual power was rapidly brewing within it!

"You brat! Die! Molten Gold Flowing Fire Talisman!"

Long Li's face was contorted with rage, his voice hoarse, as he placed all his hopes on this mid-grade second-tier attack talisman!

As long as this strange master can be killed or severely injured instantly, then the second-tier spirit fox is nothing to fear!

Qin Beast's pupils suddenly contracted!

A Foundation Establishment cultivator angrily activated a mid-grade second-tier talisman.

Its power and locking force are far beyond what the Qi Refining stage techniques can achieve!

A shadow of death instantly enveloped him!

There's no way to avoid it!

In a flash, a hint of madness also flashed in Qin Shou's eyes.

Without hesitation, he patted the storage bag.

Three jet-black orbs appeared in his hand.

It was those three Kui Sha Pearls that were purchased at great expense!

"go!"

Qin Beast frantically poured all his spiritual power into it.

He hurled three Kui Sha Pearls fiercely at the dark golden fireball that was hurtling towards him!

"Explode! Explode! Explode!"

The three Kui Sha Pearls exploded in mid-air!

The chilling, bone-chilling black aura resembled three blooming flowers of death.

It expanded instantly and collided with the molten gold and flowing fire!

"Swoosh—Boom!!!"

The pitch-black malevolent energy clashed violently with the dark golden flames!

A blinding light and chaotic spiritual energy shockwave swept outwards.

They shaved off a layer of the ground!

The gale blew the Qin beast backward, its blood churning.

However, the power of a mid-grade second-tier talisman...

Ultimately, it cannot be completely neutralized by three Kui Sha Pearls, which are mainly targeted at the Qi Refining stage!

Although its power was reduced by nearly half,

The remaining dark golden flames, still trailing long tails, fell headlong towards the Qin beast!

"Damn it!"

Qin Shou was terrified. It was too late to dodge or use any other defensive measures!

At the critical moment, he urged his thoughts urgently, and the spirit beast pouch beside him flashed with light!

"hiss--!"

A first-order, fully-formed jade python suddenly darted out.

Without hesitation, it used its thick back to block the Qin beast!

At the same time, the python coiled up, forming an arc-shaped fleshy shield!

"boom--!"

The remaining molten gold and fire slammed solidly into the back of the jade python!

The scorching flames instantly charred and cracked large sections of the scales.

It emits a pungent, burnt smell.

The jade python let out a painful hiss.

His body was blown to pieces, and he fell heavily to the ground. His breath quickly faded, and he eventually died!

However, it successfully blocked this fatal blow for the Qin beast!

Qin Shou was merely shaken by the aftershocks of the explosion, causing his blood and qi to churn.

They did not suffer any substantial or serious harm.
