70: Chapter 068 Mysterious Ferocious Beast 70: Chapter 068 Mysterious Ferocious Beast Seeing that he could no longer get any information about the ferocious beast from Wang Tianxiang, Xiao Ye gave up and the two of them set off again.
This ti, it was completely different as Wang Tianxiang was exceedingly attentive to Xiao Ye, continuously flattering him.
“Junior Brother, with your strength, you could easily pass the second layer of the Puppet Tower, and overpower Bai ng.
Why have you not responded to his challenge?” Wang Tianxiang voiced his puzzlent.
In fact, it had been on his mind for a long ti.
Xiao Ye did not answer Wang Tianxiang, instead giving a cold laugh internally.
His challenge to the Puppet Tower was not about showing off; why bother with Bai ng’s provocation?
“When I next take on the Puppet Tower, it will be the ti I beco an Inner Sect Disciple, and that ti won’t be too far off!” Two sharp glints flashed through Xiao Ye’s eyes, overwhelmingly intimidating, his entire being exuded trendous confidence.
As long as he saved up ten thousand points and entered the Chongyang Secret Realm to cultivate once more, he was confident that he could pass the Puppet Tower before the Outer Disciple martial arts competition.
Riding his steed, Xiao Ye arrived at the desolate mountain ntioned by Wang Tianxiang after half an hour.
The desolate mountain was in utter desolation, and now in the depth of winter, trees were barren, which added to the bleakness.
Below this desolate mountain, there were several sizeable villages.
“I wonder how Green Sun Town is doing now.” Seeing those villages made Xiao Ye think of Xiao Family Village, feeling a deep connection.
If he could eliminate that ferocious beast, that would be doing a good deed.
“Junior Brother, the ferocious beast is within this desolate mountain.
We must be extra cautious,” warned Wang Tianxiang, cautiously surveying their surroundings.
Xiao Ye nodded.
The unknown was indeed most fearso.
If he knew the precise strength of the ferocious beast and was ntally prepared, he would not be as frightened.
The two n ventured towards the interior of the desolate mountain, and the deeper they went, the more Xiao Ye felt his heart palpitate.
The mountain was no small feature, almost half the size of the Fierce Beast Forest near Green Sun Town, yet throughout their journey, they hadn’t encountered a single ferocious beast, not even a wild rabbit.
This could only an that the entire desolate mountain was claid by that Innate ferocious beast.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ye sowhat regretted not bringing the Fla Saber with him.
After joining the Chongyang Sect, he kept the Xuan Blade hidden in his room, only taking it out when contemplating the Martial Arts True Intent.
The Fla Saber was a Xuan Artifact, and now that he had stepped into the Innate Realm, he could channel Innate True Qi into the Fla Saber from his body, unleashing the true power of the Xuan Artifact.
If he had it with him, he would have so more confidence.
“Hm?” Suddenly, Xiao Ye’s eyes focused sharply as he spotted quite a few bloodstains on the ground not far away.
“Junior Brother, these must be the bloodstains left behind when the ferocious beast went out hunting.
If we follow these bloodstains, maybe we can find the beast,” Wang Tianxiang hastily said.
Xiao Ye nodded and began searching carefully.
Soon enough, they discovered new bloodstains and followed their trail deeper into the desolate mountain.
Along the way, Xiao Ye also found many human corpses, a horrifying and unbearable sight that fueled his anger.
“Damned beast!”
Ferocious beasts and humans have always been natural enemies.
In ancient tis, the beasts ruled the earth and humans were their prey.
Thankfully, four Great Emperors erged among the Human Clan and turned the tide.
“Over the past six thousand years, no Emperor-level experts have appeared among the human race.
Could it be there are no Emperor-level ferocious beasts on the continent either?” The thought flickered through Xiao Ye’s mind.
It had to be said, the absence of Emperor-level experts over the past six thousand years gave Xiao Ye a sense of crisis.
If the True Spirit Continent were to face Emperor-level ferocious beasts once again, without the protection of the Great Emperors, what dire straits would humanity fall into?
It would certainly be a ti of widespread suffering.
Just then, Wang Tianxiang suddenly pointed ahead and said, “Junior Brother, look, there is a cave over there that might be the lair of the beast.”
Xiao Ye’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly crouched down.
Without realizing it, they had ventured as far as twenty miles into the desolate mountain.
Directly ahead on the mountain wall was a massive cave entrance, stunning and intimidating.
“Junior Brother, with your strong abilities, why not explore a bit?
I’ll keep watch for you,” Wang Tianxiang suddenly suggested.
Xiao Ye gave a response that was half a smile, half a frown: “Why don’t you go?”
Judging by the size of the cave opening, it was clear the beast was not to be taken lightly, and Wang Tianxiang wanted to use him as a pawn?
“Hehe, if I had strength like yours, junior brother, I would have surely gone already,” Wang Tianxiang chuckled dryly.
Xiao Ye couldn’t be bothered with him and instead hid behind so rubble, closely observing the cave entrance.
“Hmph, this damn kid, flattering all the way, and now you think you’re so high and mighty!” Wang Tianxiang’s eyes shone with a cold light, his heart filled with silent loathing.
“We’ll see how you die later!”
He was inherently petty and after being tornted by Xiao Ye, although he was exceedingly respectful on the surface, his heart was already filled with towering rage.
Xiao Ye observed the cave entrance for a long ti and saw no sign of the ferocious beast, growing impatient internally, he couldn’t just keep waiting like this.
But without knowing the level of the beast, he dared not rashly break in.
“Junior Brother, how about I lure out the beast?” Wang Tianxiang suddenly ca closer.
You lure out the beast?
Xiao Ye’s expression was one of doubt, not believing that Wang Tianxiang had such courage.
Wang Tianxiang gave a secretive smile, then stood up, and with his True Qi amplified, he bellowed: “You beast, your grandpa is here to deal with you, co out quickly!”
Boosted by True Qi, his voice bood like thunder, angering Xiao Ye.
Wang Tianxiang’s roar was practically alerting the beasts to their location, wasn’t it?
“You want to die, don’t drag down with you!” Xiao Ye’s eyes shot out two brilliant lights as he scolded in a low voice.
Wang Tianxiang took a few steps back, scared, and chuckled, “I’m just trying to help.”
Roar!
At this mont, a beastly roar ca from far within the cave, causing the surrounding trees to sway and rustle.
Following that, a huge black silhouette erged at the cave entrance, with bloodthirsty glints flickering in its eyes, gazing over toward Xiao Ye.
“Not good!” Xiao Ye’s heart shuddered in alarm, with no ti to further bla Wang Tianxiang, he hastily circulated his True Qi and retreated while keeping on guard.
However, Wang Tianxiang took this opportunity to swiftly take out a bag of dicinal powder from his bosom and scatter it towards Xiao Ye.
“What are you doing!” Xiao Ye’s complexion changed, his Innate True Qi swept out from within his body, blowing away the powder, yet so still landed on him.
“Ha ha, my good junior brother, this beast is all yours to contend with now, your senior brother is getting out of here.” After saying that, Wang Tianxiang turned and ran.
Xiao Ye, as if realizing sothing, his expression suddenly changed, and he hurriedly looked back toward the beast.
Indeed, the beast’s eyes showed a crazed hue, then with a loud roar, it charged at him.
“This powder is tricky!” Xiao Ye’s heart was filled with murderous intent, wishing he could tear Wang Tianxiang to pieces.
…
Wang Tianxiang’s entire body’s True Qi surged, and he quickly left the desolate mountains.
Turning back to glance at what was behind him, his face was filled with a smug expression.
“Ha ha, stinky brat, dare to compete with !
This beast is comparable to a Late-Stage Innate Realm Third Layer Martial Artist, you’re definitely done for this ti!” Wang Tianxiang laughed uproariously.
Looking at the entire Outer Disciple ranks, few could match this beast’s power, just a handful of people at most.
Along the way, he had already fully gauged Xiao Ye’s strength; he was absolutely incapable of defeating this beast.
This mission was originally his to undertake, how could he not know the strength of this beast?
He kept it secret for the sole purpose of killing Xiao Ye.
That bag of dicinal powder, he had prepared it to aggravate the ferocious nature of the beast.
Wang Tianxiang’s laughter echoed as he let go of Xiao Ye’s steed, then mounted his own horse and rode off.
As for the mission, he had never intended to complete it.
When he returned to the sect, he would just claim it was a failure, which wouldn’t affect him at all.
…
Roar!
Deep in the desolate mountains, a heaven-shaking beastly roar resounded.
The beast, resembling a leopard, was twice the height of a man and pounced ferociously towards Xiao Ye.
In just a few breaths’ ti, the beast had already approached Xiao Ye.
At this point, there was no chance to escape, for the beast had set its sights on him, and he had no choice but to face it head-on.
Xiao Ye quickly mobilized the Innate True Qi from his Dantian and pushed it out, slapping both palms towards the beast.
Third Grade Battle Technique, Thunderclap Palm!
Boom!
Like an explosion of thunder from a clear sky, the beast’s charge was halted by Xiao Ye’s blow, while Xiao Ye himself was blasted far away, breaking several trees and spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood.
Keep in mind, he had cultivated the Four Tripod Heavenly Technique, his physique had been tempered by Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, and his defensive power was already very strong, to still be injured by this beast’s attack.
If it were another Martial Artist of the sa realm, they would have died already.
“How strong!
This beast is comparable to a Late-Stage Innate Realm Third Layer Martial Artist,” Xiao Ye felt severe pain all over his body, and a scorching sensation swept through him.
Xiao Ye looked at his palms and noticed black char marks.
“This is…” Xiao Ye was shocked as he looked at the beast, his expression turning blank.
He saw five fla lotus blossoms twining around the body of the beast, and a very familiar feeling surged into Xiao Ye’s heart.
Those weren’t real flas, but they contained an incredibly powerful force; it was with these five fla lotus blossoms that the beast had managed to strike Xiao Ye flying.
“This is the Fire Martial True Intent Materialization!” Xiao Ye’s pupils contracted sharply, his face filled with disbelief.
He was too familiar with those fla lotus blossoms, having seen them countless tis in the Fla Saber World, yet he had never been able to achieve this step.
“This is a Treasure Beast among ferocious beasts, truly struck dog-shit luck!” Xiao Ye muttered to himself.
In the Black Dragon Country Travel Records he had obtained, he had read about Treasure Beasts.
On the True Spirit Continent, so ferocious beasts possessed extraordinary talents, or divine favor if you will; born with the innate understanding of Martial Arts True Intent, these were Treasure Beasts.
Inside a Treasure Beast, there is a Treasure Core.
If a Martial Artist could consu it, they could transfer the Treasure Beast’s Martial Arts True Intent onto themselves.
Therefore, the Martial Artists of the entire True Spirit Continent coveted Treasure Beasts.
However, Treasure Beasts were exceedingly rare, with very few existing throughout the entire True Spirit Continent.
If word of a Treasure Beast here were to spread, it would certainly attract countless experts.
But the Treasure Beast before his eyes had already reached two-tenths mastery of the Fla True Intent!
