Under the fierce assault of the enemy, Wang Xiaoqiang controlled the Patterned Beast, retreating without advancing, and dodging without attacking. All the while, he took six Demon Crystals from the Suru Ring, threw them in front of the Patterned Beast, which swallowed them, instantly becoming vigorous and slightly faster in movent.
Seeing this, Li Bali was shocked beyond belief. Where did this kid get these Demon Cores? Such rare aids to cultivation, and yet he was feasting his Pet Beast on them liberally. If it were him, he definitely would not bear to do so.
As he thought this, little did he know the origin of the Patterned Beast.
The Patterned Beast was unlike Spirit Beasts; the summoned Spirit Beasts existed independently, their increase in Spiritual Power was singular, and their loyalty was not too high. However, the Patterned Beast was different; its power enhancent worked both ways. Firstly, it could cultivate on its own, and secondly, it could enhance itself through its master's advancent.
Similarly, as the strength of the Patterned Beast increased, so would the strength of its master—the connection between master and pet in the Cultivation Realm was profoundly interrelated.
Also, because it depended on its master for its existence, there was an unbreakable bond between master and pet, sharing life and death, glory, and loss together, with no possibility of betrayal.
Therefore, Wang Xiaoqiang was willing to feed it generous amounts of Demon Cores.
On the ground below, the fight between the two won also escalated.
Although Li i's Spiritual Energy cultivation was higher than Yang Ling's, she was protected by Li Bali and had always lived comfortably with hardly any combat experience. On the contrary, Yang Ling, having never had anyone to protect her, had to frequent the Trial Arena to fight demons and collect crystals, which is why her combat experience was indeed rich.
"Die!"
After a series of fierce attacks, seemingly overpowering Yang Ling with no strength to counter, Li i suddenly burst out, using all her might, and her Immortal Sword thrust towards Yang Ling. Just as the sword was about to strike, it transford into a tiger shadow.
Yang Ling stepped back three steps, her Immortal Sword swinging widely, and suddenly, the Artistic Conception of a dragon materialized in front of her, entwining and coiling, forming six ferocious dragon heads that assembled into a Protective Shield of ntal thod.
The next mont, that tiger shadow crashed into the Shield of ntal thod.
Boom!
A loud noise echoed as the tiger shadow not only failed to break through the Protective Shield but was also shattered upon impact.
Li i stared at the scene before her, her expression drastically changing.
Yang Ling gave a faint smile, summoned Sword Technique silently, and gently pushed forward.
The Protective Shield of ntal thod burst open, and the six dragon shadows, on her command, each roared fiercely and charged towards Li i.
Li i hurriedly stepped back, but it was no use escaping.
Just as the six dragon shadows leaped towards her, Yang Ling clapped her hands together, the chaotic dragon shadows rging into one, intertwining again, the six dragon heads forming in pairs, creating a formation as they all charged at Li i.
Boom!
The six dragon shadows directly crashed into Li i.
Her body was knocked back flying, spewing fresh blood, drawing an arc in the air before crashing heavily against the courtyard wall and falling down.
However, the severely injured Li i, still trying desperately to stand up, struggled a couple of tis but failed to rise, her eyes fixed deathly on Yang Ling.
Yang Ling watched her, smirked coldly, and didn't kill her, saying, "I want you to watch with your own eyes how your beloved Li Bali is killed by Wang Xiaoqiang."
In midair.
"Show whatever skills you have left!" Wang Xiaoqiang, having seen Yang Ling deal with Li i, felt an intense sense of satisfaction. Next, he was going to deal with Li Bali.
"Hmph, kid, don't be arrogant…" Although Li Bali talked tough, his heart was already in chaos. This Wang Xiaoqiang was ruthless, possessed the Penglai Immortal Sword, an extrely strong Pet Beast, and that Lightning-embedded Palm Technique, killing him would not be easy. A slight oversight could lead to his own death.
With that thought, a cold smile suddenly appeared on his face, and he leaped lightly, launching an "Eagle Dive" with the Artistic Conception of the ntal thod, swooping down towards Wang Xiaoqiang.
Just as his claw ca striking down, the targeted figure suddenly disappeared.
Both man and beast vanished right before his eyes.
Li Bali stopped in mid-motion, his face showing doubt and also thick fear, as he raised a Spiritual Energy Protective Shield, his gaze swiftly rotating in alert.
Suddenly, a chill struck his back, a strong aura locking onto him.
He quickly turned around only to see a man and a beast suddenly appear.
"Wretched man, die!"
In his horrified gaze, Wang Xiaoqiang thrust his sword, the Penglai Immortal Sword piercing through the Spiritual Energy Protective Shield towards his chest.
Without ti to think further, he clasped his hands together, condensing Spiritual Energy in front of his chest, and as the sword tip pierced his skin, he tightly grabbed the Penglai Immortal Sword.
The sword tip, having pierced his skin, could not advance any further.
Wang Xiaoqiang's gaze turned stern, his left hand sweeping out.
Spiritual Energy Needle Rain shot out, a dense array of light points sweeping toward Li Bali, almost covering his entire head and face.
Ah...
Li Bali scread in pain, and instantly, fine Blood Pearls seeped from his closed eyes, forehead, and throat.
Like a wounded beast, Li Bali howled towards the sky, all his Spiritual Energy bolstering his hands, gripping the Penglai Immortal Sword and pushing forward with all his might.
Spiritual Energy roared, fierce strength surged, and the Penglai Immortal Sword, along with Wang Xiaoqiang, were both pushed back and fell.
Seizing the opportunity to escape, Li Bali, his eyes injured by the Spiritual Energy Needle Rain, could not discern direction, and blindly dashed off into the distance. Just as Wang Xiaoqiang steadied himself, Li Bali had already fled a hundred ters away.
"You can't escape!"
Stabilized atop the Patterned Beast, Wang Xiaoqiang intently watched the fleeing figure in the distance, without a mont's hesitation, imdiately assuming the posture of drawing a bow and shooting an arrow, calming his mind, and beginning the Visualization of himself as a Celestial Star in the starry sky.
A dominating force surged from above, Wang Xiaoqiang's entire robe burst into pieces, turning to ash.
Every action he made contained the force of thousands, the heat of a stampede of tens of thousands of horses, the sound of thunder, and the artistic conception of a volcano about to erupt.
As he drew the invisible bowstring, turning it into a full moon above his head, his tightly clenched right hand flashed and flashed again, four tis in succession, then four vast bolts of lightning appeared.
At that mont, it seed as if the entire starry sky was chanting together!
An indescribable feeling of dread caused the surrounding Barbaric Demons to whine in low, distraught voices.
The four lightning bolts on the bow aid faintly at the fleeing figure of Li Bali...
Taking a deep breath, Wang Xiaoqiang completed the final action of releasing the bowstring...
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The four bolts of lightning, with a world-shaking montum, tore through the night sky, blasted the air, and rushed towards Li Bali.
The next mont,
Under the full moon, those four bolts of lightning all struck Li Bali.
Boom!
That majestic body was, in an instant, blasted into pieces, turning to ashes.
Li Bali, an elite disciple of the Five Spirit Sect, thus perished.
Watching Li Bali turn to rubble, Li i's face showed despair. She imdiately knelt down on the ground, pleading to Yang Ling, "Please don't kill . Please don't kill ."
"If not to kill you, what use are you?" Yang Ling said, handing over his Immortal Sword, and stabbed Li i to death on the spot. (To be continued.
