Refining Ruins Cauldron

Already hesitant, the wolf beast completely panicked at the sight of such power, losing all thought of attacking and focusing solely on dodging.

However, Gu Qingyun's talisman explosion was so powerful that it covered the entire area, leaving virtually no blind spots.

As long as the wolves don't retreat, they will eventually be affected.

The flames exploded again.

Lightning streaked across the ground.

The wind blade grazed the wolf's body, shaving off a piece of charred fur.

The wolf was extremely fast, dodging the most deadly center of the explosion with several quick movements.

But it ultimately couldn't completely escape.

After a barrage of attacks, the wolf was in a sorry state, with many parts of its fur charred.

Although the injury was minor, it was enough to intimidate them.

At this moment, when the wolf looked at Gu Qingyun again, its gaze clearly held more apprehension.

In the face of death, humans and animals are equal.

Gu Qingyun just killed the giant bear with his skills. The wolf beast has lived for hundreds of years and is also afraid of death!

They were stopped only because of their stutter.

But compared to my own life, it's obviously not that important.

Life has meaning!

"Human, I'll spare you for now."

Instead of continuing its attack, the wolf spoke in human language and uttered a harsh threat.

Intelligence ultimately triumphed over instinct.

Having reached the late stage of the Golden Core realm, the wolf beast's intelligence had already been fully awakened.

If Gu Qingyun could slay the giant bear, he would naturally have a way to slay himself.

Even if the wolf beasts eventually succeeded in killing the human boy, they knew they would have to pay a heavy price.

And it will face more than just Gu Qingyun.

Beside them were Nalan Feixue and two other beast kings, each eyeing them menacingly.

If I am seriously injured and am ambushed by the other two spirit beasts, I might lose not only my food but also my life.

No matter how much I planned, nothing worked.

After uttering those harsh words, the wolf-beast flashed and disappeared into the dense forest miasma ahead in the blink of an eye, leaving no trace!

Only after its presence had completely faded away did Gu Qingyun secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

But outwardly, he still dared not show it.

If the remaining two spirit beasts were to realize that he was at his last gasp, the situation would immediately reverse.

Without the wolves, Nalan Feixue was now facing two opponents alone, which made things much easier.

Although she wasn't at her peak, dealing with two late-stage Golden Core spirit beasts was still no challenge for her.

However, it is clearly unlikely that the battle can be resolved in a short period of time.

The tiger and leopard worked together with exceptional coordination.

One side launched a frontal assault, while the other launched a surprise attack from the side.

The tiger beast possessed overwhelming bloodlust, and each of its attacks carried the imposing power of a mountain.

The leopard was so fast that it was almost a blur, constantly flashing between the shadows of the trees and the miasma.

Whenever Nalan Feixue tried to forcibly kill one of them, the other would immediately intervene.

The two beasts were clearly not seeking victory, but only to delay the inevitable.

Nalan Feixue's sword aura was cold and clear as she unleashed one sword strike after another, forcing the two beasts to stay away.

However, her injuries had not yet healed, and she could not unleash her spiritual power without restraint.

If a quick and forceful battle is attempted, it will inevitably aggravate the injuries.

Gu Qingyun noticed this. His reason for venturing into the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range was to seize the Ancient Thunder Purple Crystal.

If they had arrived even a moment later, the Ancient Thunder Amethyst might have been refined by the spirit beast!

He can't wait!

We absolutely cannot let ourselves be dragged to our deaths by a few beast kings here.

After a moment of contemplation, Gu Qingyun decisively took out the protective jade talisman given to him by Master Qinggu!

As soon as the jade talisman appeared, the nascent soul aura emanating from it instantly entered the senses of the two spirit beasts.

That aura was terrifying.

It's neither a Golden Core cultivator nor a half-step Nascent Soul cultivator.

It was actually the pressure emanating from a Nascent Soul cultivator!

The tiger and leopard beasts, which had been moving smoothly just moments before, have now slowed down considerably.

Nalan Feixue seized the opportunity and forcefully forced the two beasts back, finally giving her a chance to catch her breath.

"One is dead, one escaped, now it's just the two of you. Do you still want to continue?"

Gu Qingyun remained calm and raised the jade talisman in his hand.

With just a gentle crushing, the nascent soul contained within can be released instantly.

Let alone the late-stage Golden Core realm, even a spirit beast at the half-step Nascent Soul stage would perish on the spot if it ate it!

The fear of death instantly overwhelmed the senses of both spirit beasts.

The murderous aura that had been rising was completely extinguished at this moment.

They are beasts, but that doesn't mean they are stupid!

Life and death can still be clearly distinguished.

Putting aside Nalan Feixue, given her cultivation level, she definitely wouldn't be able to defeat her in a short time.

The key is Gu Qingyun!

Although this human ant only has the Foundation Establishment cultivation level, he has a plethora of magical artifacts in his hands.

They throw talismans around like they're free.

The protective artifact can be taken out without hesitation.

It also harbors a strange spiritual attack.

Even the most defensive giant bear fell victim to his tricks.

The wolf was so frightened that it fled on the spot without even putting up a fight!

And that jade talisman!

Even though the two spirit beasts were blind, they could clearly sense the nascent soul energy emanating from them!

His eyes suddenly became much clearer.

If they continue fighting, they may not be able to kill these two humans.

But once that jade talisman is crushed, one of them will surely die!

Who's willing to gamble?

Who would dare to gamble?

"Walk!"

Without any further hesitation, he fled on the spot.

What can you do if you're unwilling and resentful?

That's still better than dying here!

The tiger gave Gu Qingyun one last deep look, its eyes still filled with murderous intent, but it dared not step forward again.

The leopard beast blurred and disappeared into the depths of the miasma.

Before they left, one of the spirit beasts spoke in human language.

"Humans, the Beast Mountain Range is not a place for you."

"That lord will absolutely not let you get away with this!"

The sound faded into the distance until it disappeared...

"call……"

Gu Qingyun let out a long breath, his face deathly pale.

As he watched the spirit beasts disappear one after another, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground.

Despite his tough demeanor just now, even daring to threaten two late-stage Golden Core spirit beasts with a jade talisman, only he himself knew the extent of his internal energy depletion.

With only a Foundation Establishment cultivation level, he faced a late-stage Golden Core spirit beast head-on and even killed one of them.

If this achievement were to get out, it would be enough to shock everyone!

However, the price paid behind this is also considerable.

At this moment, Gu Qingyun's spiritual energy had long been exhausted, and even his spiritual consciousness was severely depleted.

Especially that spiritual needle strike, which seemed to last only a moment, but in order to severely injure the giant bear's sea of ​​consciousness, he almost pushed the "Forging God Technique" to its limit.

Although the spiritual consciousness of spirit beasts is weak, their cultivation level is still considerable.

If you don't do your best, it won't make any difference at all.

In addition, the consumption of talismans is also an astonishing amount.

Nearly 70% of the savings I had prepared have already been used up.

The third-tier talismans are almost all used up, and the second-tier talismans are also nearly half gone.

If he had to come back again, Gu Qingyun would have no choice but to accept his bad luck.

Although the injuries on his body were not fatal, they were still quite painful.

Having just detonated the talisman at close range, withstood the aftershocks of the explosion, and forcibly activated the protective spiritual artifact, he appeared only disheveled, but in reality, his internal energy and blood were already in complete disarray.

puff!

Gu Qingyun spat out a mouthful of black, stagnant blood, and only then did he feel slightly better.

The bruised blood on the ground still carried a faint smell of charred blackness.

Clearly, the aftershocks of the explosion not only injured the skin and flesh, but also damaged the lungs and internal organs.

He quickly took several healing pills, activated the "Circulation and Refining Qi Technique" to rapidly absorb the medicinal power, and recovered from his injuries.

Once the pill enters the abdomen, its warm medicinal power spreads and flows through the meridians to the limbs and bones.

Gu Qingyun finally managed to catch her breath.

It's a miracle that he's managed to hold on until now.

Nalan Feixue quickly stepped forward to check on Gu Qingyun's condition.

Upon just one glance, Liu Mei couldn't help but frown.

"Your body..."

She was still surprised to see him so weak, even though his injuries weren't serious.

If it were an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator, they would probably have already fainted.

No, let alone Foundation Establishment.

Even a cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Core realm might not be able to remain conscious after experiencing this level of spiritual energy depletion and backlash on their spiritual consciousness.

Gu Qingyun has managed to hold on until now, and has even scared away three spirit beasts!

On the contrary, he himself, with his half-step Nascent Soul cultivation, couldn't even defeat a single spirit beast.

In comparison, it is somewhat inferior.

Of course, Nalan Feixue was also aware that her injuries had not yet healed, and she could only exert about 60% or 70% of her strength.

In addition, with the three late-stage Golden Core spirit beasts working in perfect harmony, she not only had to fight, but also had to constantly keep an eye on Gu Qingyun's situation.

Otherwise, she would have already drawn her sword and killed a spirit beast.

But she didn't say these words aloud.

"It's nothing, you'll recover quickly."

Gu Qingyun forced a smile and gave Nalan Feixue a reassuring look.

However, his current state is simply not convincing.

His face was deathly pale, his breath was weak, and even his speech was noticeably feeble.

Nalan Feixue took a deep breath and quickly set up a magic array around herself to completely isolate herself from Gu Qingyun's aura.

The array patterns lit up, and a faint spiritual light rose from the ground, quickly enveloping the two of them.

The miasma was kept out, and the lingering smell of blood was suppressed by the formation.

If another spirit beast loses its senses and launches a surprise attack at this moment, their lives will be in grave danger, so they must proceed with extreme caution.

After doing all this, Nalan Feixue finally had time to sit down cross-legged, swallow a pill, and restore the spiritual energy she had consumed.

She was also injured in the battle just now.

His physical injuries had not yet fully healed, so he could only exert about 70% of his strength.

However, they were simultaneously besieged by three late-stage Golden Core spirit beasts. These three beasts were clearly prepared, and their coordination was incredibly smooth.

The bear beast was responsible for restraining Gu Qingyun.

The wolves waited for an opportunity to attack.

The tiger and leopard beasts joined forces to surround her, not seeking immediate victory, but only to slow her down.
