The Transcendent Immortal - Chapter 494
Chapter 494 Chu Qi
“Brother Yang, is this the Demonic Beast Mountain Range that you mentioned?”
Just now, Xiao Chen and the others had landed on this mountain ridge and had taken a look around. It seemed that Xiao Chen did not feel that the mountain ridge was much different from that of the five continents. There were only a few strange flowers and fruits, as well as some footprints of some wild beasts.
Yang Qing also looked around and said with some uncertainty, “I haven’t been back for a long time. It should be here, right?” Then he squatted down and looked at the beast footprints on the ground carefully. He grabbed a handful of dirt, put it under his nose and smelled it. A man next to him asked, “How is it? How does it taste?”
“Pooh! There’s the smell of Demonic Beast’s shit. It’s here!”
Xiao Chen subconsciously put his finger in front of his nose. Seeing him like this, he could not help laughing. When he was about to say something, Chu Qi suddenly shouted, “Watch out!” Before she could finish her words, a loud bang was heard. A fierce force rushed out and shook the trees around him.
Xiao Chen turned around like a bolt of lightning, only to see that Chu Qi had blocked a huge black bear that was about 10 feet tall. The black bear stood to the side, its two sturdy beast arms directly pulled up a towering ancient tree and it slammed it at the group.
“Boom!”
With a loud bang, a forest nearby was directly smashed, the soli and rubbles flew. Xiao Chen exclaimed, “Chu Qi, be careful! It’s the Giant Bear Beast!”
He knew this big guy very well. When he participated in the entrance test of Three Pure Sect, he encountered a Giant Bear Beast. At that time, he was only at Lv 1 Qi Refining Realm and was so badly beaten that he spat blood.
At that time, the Giant Bear Beast was only at level 1, 40% power and could not yet be considered Demonic Beast. At most, it was a beast. However, this Giant Bear Beast was a Level 4 demonic beast. Its defense was at least above the Nirvana Realm. Even a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator might not be able to defeat it.
“Howl…”
The Giant Bear Beast roared, and its voice went straight into the clouds. Its two arms directly grabbed Chu Qi. Its blood-red claws actually left two bloody shadows in the air. However, Chu Qi’s speed was even faster, and she jumped up in an instant to avoid the deadly attack.
Xiao Chen was terrified when he saw this. Even though Chu Qi was fast, she was nevertheless only a Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. Furthermore, she was a woman. Her defense was far weaker than that of a Nirvana Realm cultivator. If she was caught by the Giant Bear Beast, she would surely die. Xiao Chen hastily unsheathed his Unsullied Sword and chanted an incantation. “Swoosh!” The Unsullied Sword instantly transformed into a white radiance that was ten feet tall and slashed at the Giant Bear Beast.
“Clang!” The sound of metal clashing was heard. The Unsullied Sword was actually bounced off by the Giant Bear Beast. Yang Qing and the others were shocked. This defensive power was too horrifying. After thinking for a while, they hurriedly took out their flying swords and slashed at the Giant Bear Beast. However, even Xiao Chen could not break the defense of the Giant Bear Beast, let alone hurt it.
“RARR, RARR, RARR…”
Under the siege of the crowd, the Giant Bear Beast felt pain and had finally become angry. Its eyes turned blood red and its body expanded a lot. As it raised its hand and raised its foot, it destroyed more than half of the nearby woods. Xiao Chen was worried that if things went on like this, it would attract more Demonic Beasts. He said in a hurry, “Chu Qi, come back!”
Chu Qi tapped her feet and flew to the front of him like a bolt of lightning. She said in a calm tone, “Lord, please retreat to the side.” After that, she moved and attacked the Giant Bear Beast again with the Full Moon Blade in her hand.
“RARR…” The Giant Bear Beast roared and grabbed at her with its arms. Suddenly, countless bloodred shadows appeared in the air. Chu Qi was so fast that she avoided the claw attack from the Giant Bear Beast like a purple shadow. Then, she jumped up and landed onto the Giant Bear Beast’s back in an instant.
“Clang!” With a sharp clang, the Full Moon Blade in her hand split into two and fiercely attacked the Giant Bear Beast’s eyes from the back. With two sounds, blood splashed, and the Giant Bear Beast was blinded.
“RARR! RARR! RARR!”
The Giant Bear Beast became even more violent and restless. In midair, the blood shadow was scampering in a disorderly manner as its strength impacted level by level. Not far away, Yang Qing and the rest were all covered in a cold sweat.
The Giant Bear Beast suddenly turned around and tore at Chu Qi with its arms. However, Chu Qi was like lightning, and she instantly flew behind it again. The two Full Moon Blade slashed at its neck again. With two sounds, the beast’s throat was directly cut open, and blood spurted out.
Even Xiao Chen was frightened to see this scene. Her movements were indeed much faster than Qingluan. The two attacks just now were almost as quick as lightning.
“RARR!” The Giant Bear Beast was completely enraged. Its ferocious force spread out and sent a large portion of the surrounding earth flying. Dozens of towering ancient trees were smashed from within, while others were uprooted from the ground and thrown into the distance.
Chu Qi leaped and jumped into midair and suddenly turned down from mid-air. Her figure instantly turned into seven illusions, and it was difficult to tell between which was real. This was how scary her speed was.
Slashing sounds could be heard endlessly, blood was flying everywhere. In that instant, the Giant Bear Beast had been slashed at least 80 times. It was drenched in blood and one of its arms was also chopped off. At this moment, it was finally getting weak but it also seemed that it was going to self-destruct its Demon Pill.
However, how could Chu Qi give it any chance? The last blow, with a “ch” sound, instantly cut off its neck. A bear head immediately flew to the foot of Yang Qing and others, which scared them so much that their faces turned pale.
“Boom!” With a loud noise, the humongous body of the Giant Bear Beast finally fell. Chu Qi stretched out her fingers and took out a bloody Internal Elixir from its body. Then it walked to Xiao Chen and handed it over.
At this moment, Chu Qi’s face was stained with blood. Some even splattered onto her lips and her hands were stained with blood. Xiao Chen looked at the bloody Demon Elixir in her hand and was still in a daze.
It was impossible for him to kill that Giant Bear Beast easily. However, what Chu Qi relied on was not brute force, but her ghost-like body movement and lightning-like assassination skills. Even he himself could not do that. Although it looked a little cruel, she was worthy of being No.1 in the Hidden Fragrance Wafting Under the Moon. Even Qingluan could not compare with her skills.
Thinking of this, Xiao Chen approved of her in his heart. Although the cultivation of Chu Qi was at the Nascent Soul Realm, it was absolutely enough to assassinate a Nirvana Realm cultivator, which was even more immeasurable in the future.
In the distance, on the top of a mountain, two white-bearded elders, one in green and the other in purple, were still there. In front of them, a virtual image transmission array was in front of them. They had witnessed the whole process of Chu Qi killing the Giant Bear Beast just now.
The green-robed elder laughed and said, “Tsk, tsk, tsk. Killing a Lv 4 late-stage Giant Bear Beast all by herself. This little girl is really amazing. I think she is at most at the middle Nascent Soul stage. Hey hey, your Pure Mind Sect is so powerful. Do you have a disciple like her? I’m afraid that your disciples can only run away after seeing the Giant Bear Beast, right?”
The purple-robed elder remained silent. With the advent of the Annihilation Times, everyone began to cultivate faster. Many disciples had reached the Nascent Soul Realm. However, the biggest drawback of this was that, although these disciples’ cultivations were higher, their magic spell abilities, sword techniques, skills, and other aspects were far inferior to the older generation. In other words, they only had the strength of the Nascent Soul Realm, as though it was obtained from eating pills.
But the little girl just now was really eye-opening to him. To be honest, even the proudest disciple of his sect, whose cultivation had reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, would definitely be defeated if he fought with the little girl. He was afraid that he would not even survive ten moves from her.
“Where did these people come from? I’ve never heard of such a powerful female disciple in any sect,” the purple-robed elder narrowed his eyes and said.
Seeing that he was willing to admit defeat at this moment, the green-robed elder felt very happy. When he was about to say something, the purple-robed old man suddenly looked serious and said, “Oh no! This unassuming boy seems to have found us!”
In the mountains, Xiao Chen was about to pick up the Monster Pill in Chu Qi’s hand when he suddenly felt a faint fluctuation of Spiritual Force. He immediately sensed that something was wrong and said coldly, “Someone is peeping at us!” Then he immediately turned his head and looked at a looming mountain in the distance. The fluctuation of Spiritual Force was coming from there.
On top of the mountain, the two elders looked at Xiao Chen’s cold eyes in the Virtual Image Formation and could not help but tremble. Of course, they were too far away from each other. Xiao Chen could not see them at the moment unless he had Thousand-mile Eyes.
The purple-robed elder’s body and mind trembled again. This time, his face was full of disbelief, which was even more shocking than when he saw the Giant Bear Beast killed by Chu Qi. He murmured, “Even those old boys can’t notice my Thousand-mile-observation Skill. How is it possible that this boy could! This boy, this boy!” At the end of his words, he gradually became incoherent.
Seeing his expression at the moment, the green-robed elder felt very happy in his heart. He laughed and said, “Zi Xuanzi, Zi Xuanzi, you’ve been studying this insight technique all day long, but now you’ve been seen through by a younger Nascent Soul Realm cultivator. Haha, it will be so funny to tell it to the others. Haha!”
The purple-robed elder’s face was still filled with disbelief. He muttered, “Impossible. How is this kid possible…? Could it be him? How terrifying is his Divine Sense? It’s impossible!”
The green-robed elder kept laughing as if he was hitting him when he was down. He said, “What’s so impossible when he had already found you? Are you going to admit it only when he flies up here to catch you?”
The elder in the purple robe clenched his fist and frowned, said, “Where did they come from? Were they from the Desolate Seas? It’s impossible. Why would people from the Desolate Seas come to such a small place…”
···
In the mountains, Chu Qi was on the alert, and so were Yang Qing and others. After a while, Yang Qing said slowly, “Brother Xiao, did you make a mistake? There seems to be no one nearby.”
Xiao Chen focused and said nothing. After a long time, he turned his head and said, “Well, I guess I have mistaken.”
Although that was what he said, he was absolutely sure that he had sensed it right. He was sure that someone was spying on him and others just now. The reason why he said so was to let the people on the other side lower their guard as he was still not sure what purpose the other side had.
On the mountaintop in the distance, the purple-robed elder seemed to have finally recovered some of his pride. He snorted and said, “Did you see that? Just now, I was distracted, and this kid just accidentally felt a slight fluctuation of the spirit energy. It’s impossible for him to notice my Observation Spell.”
The green-robed elder next to him sneered and said nothing, but it seemed that he could not find any words to refute him for the time being.
