Blue-Eyed Moon-Gazing Rhino
"Cough cough, Brother Li, I'm fine!" Sun Jianying's weak voice came from the smoke and dust.
Upon hearing this, Li Yuanfeng kept a wary eye on Yang Tianyou while running towards Sun Jianying.
Yang Tianyou did not stop him; a silver light danced joyfully around his body.
This is Starlight; those blade energies alone are not enough to directly knock the Winnowing Basket Water Shield away.
The current Starlight and Twin Blades have been upgraded to the Second-Rank Low-Grade. They were meticulously crafted by Old Ancestor Yang Haoyu over twelve days, using a large amount of Second-Tier Spirit Metal and Spirit Materials.
Afterwards, Yang Tianyou naturally refined them into his life-bound Law Artifact.
The remaining two wisps of Qi of Creation were also directly integrated into it, increasing the Law Artifact's foundation.
The current Starlight and Twin Blades are already top-quality Second-Rank Low-Grade Law Artifacts.
Because it is connected to Yang Tianyou by blood and flesh, the Spiritual Power consumed when activating it is only 30% of that of a normal Law Artifact, but its power is not diminished in the slightest, greatly enhancing his strength.
In addition, after the battle to annihilate the Black Sha Sect, Yang Tianyou entered the Blade Prison again and absorbed two strands of Blade Intent light. His Great White Blade Intent also improved a lot, becoming more fierce and domineering.
The Blade Intent, also known as the state of oneness between man and sword, has four minor realms: entry level, Minor Achievement, Great Achievement, and perfection.
Beyond that lies the realm of Blade Force Heaven-Man Unity, and the mysterious and unpredictable realm of "domain".
Yang Tianyou estimated that at this rate of improvement, the Great White Blade Intent could be advanced from the beginner level to the Minor Achievement mastery level within three years.
As for Blade Force and Blade Domain... those at the Foundation Establishment Realm shouldn't even think about it.
The path of the Blade Dao becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses; each small step forward is far more challenging than advancing in Divine Ability.
Even though Yang Tianyou possesses a treasure as powerful as the Blade Prison, which is practically cheating, he still needs to proceed step by step and steadily, without being impatient.
In the distance, Sun Jianying, limping, and Li Yuanfeng, with a chest injury, emerged from the billowing dust.
The former gave a wry smile, cupped his hands, and said, "We admit defeat. Thank you, Daoist Friends, for showing mercy."
Sun Jianying spoke these words sincerely. Just now, he truly felt the breath of death. If those sword energies hadn't changed direction, he would have really died.
Moreover, this was just a casual slash of sword energy from Yang Tianyou. You must know that the person in front of you is famous in Dragon Valley County for his close combat skills and Dual Cultivation of Spell and Body. He hasn't even shown his true strength yet.
Those who stubbornly refuse to admit defeat are just greenhorns. A seasoned veteran like Sun Jianying wouldn't hesitate to back down when it's time to yield.
"Hehe, both of you Daoist Friends are quite skilled. I only narrowly won by one move."
Now that his opponent had admitted defeat, Yang Tianyou put away his Law Artifact, his expression changed, and he smiled.
"Fellow Daoist Friends, please come in, have a seat, and have a cup of tea?"
"No, no, Daoist Friends, please go ahead with your business. We have Lineage matters to attend to, so we'll be leaving now."
After saying this, Sun Jianying pulled Li Yuanfeng, who still looked somewhat unwilling, away from the place.
Yang Tianyou's eyes flickered as he watched their retreating figures.
"Could the Three Rivers Sect be behind these Lineage's coercion?" Yang Tiankang asked softly.
"Heh, without the support of the Three Rivers Sect, would these cunning fellows, who are more cunning than monkeys, dare to provoke us?" Yang Tianyou sneered. There was no need to guess; even a fool could tell that the Three Rivers Sect was involved.
It's possible that the Feng Household has gotten involved as well.
"In the face of this kind of provocation, tell the tribesmen that if they can fight, they should fight; they shouldn't be afraid of causing trouble. Now is precisely the time to be firm. The firmer our stance, the less they will dare to act rashly. Just wait, it won't be long..."
Later, Yang Tianyou's voice became barely audible.
Yang Tiankang's eyes flickered slightly, but he did not ask any further questions.
He knew that there were some secrets within the Lineage that only the Old Ancestor and his Nineteenth Younger Brother were qualified to know.
This isn't about distrust, but rather a preventative measure. Lineage without secrets can never last long.
"Nineteenth Younger Brother! Sixth Brother!" Yang Tianshi stepped forward, and when he saw Yang Tianyou, he forced a smile, which looked worse than crying.
Yang Tianyou shook his head helplessly. He knew that this was not Yang Tianshi's intention, but because of this Tenth Brother, who was born with a poker face.
Forcing him to make other expressions is simply putting him in a difficult position.
"Daoist Friends!" Liu Linghui stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting, and looked on with amazement.
Although he had already learned of Yang Tianyou's strength from the Old Ancestor.
However, seeing is believing, and witnessing firsthand how the latter displayed his extraordinary power, easily frightening away the Sun Household and Li Household, still left him in awe.
"Greetings, Fellow Daoist Friends." Yang Tianyou bowed politely, sizing up the Foundation Establishment from the Liu Household before him.
He wore a light green Daoist robe, was neatly dressed, and had a handsome face, looking like a frail scholar.
However, Yang Tianyou did not underestimate the person in front of him. Liu Linghui was a Second-Rank Low-Grade Formation Master was well-versed in the arts of feng shui.
He has profound expertise in sorting out Spirit Veins and transforming Spirit Fields.
The Bianhe Mountain, scarred and ravaged, was able to recover most of its Origin Qi in just one month thanks to this person.
Talented people deserve respect wherever they go, so Yang Tianyou was quite enthusiastic, which made Liu Linghui feel a little uncomfortable, but also very pleased.
I feel that Yang Tianyou is indeed a good person; no wonder my niece Siyu talks about him all the time.
After chatting for a while, the group began to discuss serious matters.
Yang Tianyou and Yang Tiankang came to Bianhe Mountain not just to solve the problems of the Liu Household and Sun Household.
"Tenth Brother, is that Savage Beast you mentioned still around?"
"He's still here. It looks like this guy is planning to settle down in Bianhe Mountain. He's been moving earth and stones to build his nest these past few days," Yang Tianshi said expressionlessly, though his tone betrayed a sense of helplessness.
"Where did this Savage Beast come from? The Savage Wilderness Great Domain?" Yang Tiankang asked, somewhat puzzled.
"I don't know. Savage Beasts are of low Wisdom and difficult to communicate with. Although this Blue-Eyed Moon-Gazing Rhino is comparable in strength to Second-Tier Middle-Grade Demon Beast, its Wisdom is only equivalent to that of a six-year-old human child, and it is extremely unruly."
Liu Linghui interjected with a wry smile, "These past few days, to prevent it from damaging the newly set-up Formation on Bianhe Mountain, we've fed it dozens of First-Tier spirit medicine. But this big guy seems to have become attached to us, coming to harass us every few hours."
Thump!! Thump!!
Suddenly, the earth shook violently, sending dirt and rocks flying, followed by a series of muffled thuds.
"Here it comes again!" Liu Linghui put his right hand to his forehead, but he didn't feel any hostility towards the Blue-Eyed Moon-Gazing Rhino.
After all, this big guy is just greedy; he has a very docile nature. As long as you don't attack him first, he won't hurt you.
