Tailing and Striking
After leaving the shop, Yang Tianyou led Fengling through many twists and turns, changing their aura and clothing several times, before finally shaking off the little tail following behind them.
"Buying something on the Black Market is such a hassle!"
As Yang Tianyou walked along the road, he sighed inwardly, then suddenly stopped in his tracks.
Looking down at Fengling, who slightly raised her head, Yang Tianyou subtly glanced to his right, following Fengling's prompting.
An Immortal Dao cultivator wearing a black cloak and a Devil Cultivator walked side by side, seemingly as a group.
Nothing unusual was found, but Yang Tianyou trusted Fengling, so he slightly activated the Great White Gold Eyes.
An invisible, intangible gaze fell upon him. For a fleeting moment, Yang Tianyou's pupils contracted slightly, then instantly returned to normal. He brushed past the two people as if nothing had happened, but his hand moved almost imperceptibly during the process.
After shifting positions, Yang Tianyou's eyes lit up. "Zhao Yunxiao, what a small world!"
He patted Fengling's head, and the man and the wolf exchanged a glance and smiled knowingly.
The man and the wolf continued to wander through the Black Market. After exploring almost half of the Black Market, Fengling finally spotted the presence of Darkblood Old Devil and his group outside a pavilion.
After that, things became much easier. Yang Tianyou simply needed to wait outside, as there happened to be a small restaurant opposite the attic.
They ordered a pot of wine, a few side dishes, and a large plate of First-Tier Middle-Grade demon beef. Yang Tianyou Fengling ate while waiting for their prey to appear.
However, after finishing all the dishes, the Old Devil still hadn't come out. So Yang Tianyou simply booked a room. He wanted to see who could outlast whom.
Persistence pays off. Three days later, Fengling woke Yang Tianyou from his meditation, and the prey appeared.
More than a hundred miles outside the Huafeng Black Market, the mountains are high and the forests are dense, with the sounds of tigers roaring and monkeys crying incessantly.
As night falls, streaks of stars meander across the sky above the mountains and forests, and the Moonlight, like dew, flows down.
Darkblood Old Devil, accompanied by several Devil Cultivators, sped through the dense forest in a black and red flying Flying Boat.
At this moment, the Darkblood Old Devil, who was meditating in the Flying Boat, suddenly opened his eyes. His blood-red pupils exuded an extremely strong Sha Qi aura.
"Stop!"
His voice was shrill, like the cry of an owl, extremely piercing.
The other Devil Cultivators dared not disobey this capricious Old Devil, and hurriedly steered the Flying Boat to a stop.
"Where did this coward come from, hiding like a rat? Show yourself now!"
Darkblood Old Devil snorted coldly, and with a flick of his hand, a thick, blood-red chain lashed out like a long whip, striking the small hill below with terrifying force.
"Darkblood Old Devil, die!"
A hysterical, frantic roar shook the sky. The newcomer was a young man around thirty years old, holding a long Wrought Iron Long Spear as thick as a goose egg. Judging from its aura, it was First-Tier Superior-Grade Law Artifact.
At this moment, his whereabouts were discovered by the Darkblood Old Devil. The young man immediately leaped out and roared as he threw his Long Spear.
Whoosh!
Driven by the youth's Fire Attribute Spiritual Power, the Long Spear instantly transformed into a dazzling fiery rainbow, piercing straight towards the black and red Flying Boat in the air.
"How dare you! You're only at the Qi Refining eighth layer, yet you dare to mess with me? Then die!"
With a sinister grin, the Darkblood Old Devil drew his longsword and slashed down.
Yang Tianyou, who had been following closely from a distance, stared intently at the longsword. The aura emanating from the sword was top-notch among First-Tier Law Artifact.
"This Old Devil is indeed exceptionally powerful!"
Muttering to himself, Yang Tianyou showed no sign of backing down; facing difficulties head-on was the proper demeanor of Cultivator.
The blood-red sword flashed through the air, bringing with it layers of crimson light like water. With a single strike, it repelled the Long Spear thrown by the young man, and then, with undiminished momentum, it cleaved down on his head.
"Impossible!"
The young man roared in despair. His all-out attack had been so easily neutralized by his opponent, a blow that was no small matter.
However, he was no novice. His hands moved swiftly, and he summoned a yellowish-brown stone seal to shield himself.
Thump!
The blood sword collided with the stone seal, producing a muffled thud. The former's power was exhausted, and it flew back to the Old Devil's side, while the latter crashed heavily into the youth, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.
Realizing the situation was hopeless, the young man, not one to be pedantic, immediately took out a First-Tier Superior-Grade Fire Escape Talisman and activated it with Spiritual Power.
Buzz!
The flames enveloped his body and quickly disappeared into the distance, covering dozens of feet in the blink of an eye.
"Hmph, another Escape Technique Talisman. I was already on guard against you!"
With a cold laugh, the Darkblood Old Devil summoned a dark magic mirror. A beam of black light shot out from the mirror's surface, instantly traversing dozens of feet of space and shining upon the youth.
As the black light descended, the youth's rapidly fleeing body abruptly stopped, the flames on his body were forcefully dispersed, and his Spiritual Power became uncontrollably chaotic.
"It's over!"
The young man closed his eyes, memories of warm times with his parents flashing through his mind, and murmured, "Father, Mother, your son is powerless; I cannot avenge you."
He then turned around, calmly looking at the blood-stained sword aimed at his neck, awaiting death.
Bite!
Suddenly, a golden light flew in and blocked the young man's path, followed by a clear voice echoing, "Darkblood Old Devil, prepare to die!"
Boom!
Yang Tianyou, wielding Twin Blades, suddenly appeared and slashed down with one strike.
The powerful Blade Force strike created ripples, and a five-zhang-long (approximately 10 meters) long, dazzling golden blade light slashed at the Flying Boat.
Brush!
Without much hesitation, the Flying Boat was cut in two.
"Who?"
The Darkblood Old Devil was startled. His body floated a hundred feet away, and after he stood up, he looked closely and saw that several of his subordinates were being slaughtered by a young man in white with a knife.
The young man in white was only at the Qi Refining eighth layer, but his physique was incredibly powerful. The Law Technique of the Devil Cultivators' subordinates had little effect on him, and sometimes they even produced a clanging sound like metal clashing.
He only attacked and never defended, yet his swordsmanship was superb and extremely aggressive. In just a few breaths, he had almost killed several Devil Cultivators.
"Body Cultivator?"
With a slight change in expression, the Darkblood Old Devil became serious. A cultivator at the Qi Refining eighth layer of Dual Cultivation of Spell and Body, and whose physical cultivation had even reached the Ninth Layer of Qi Refinement, possessed enough strength to rival him head-on.
Brush!
With a flash of light, the last Devil Cultivator was cut in half at the waist by Yang Tianyou, a thick stench of blood surrounding his body.
Standing opposite the Darkblood Old Devil, one exuded a murderous Sha Qi, while the other reeked of blood. It didn't seem like a duel between immortals and demons, but rather like an infighting among Devil Cultivators.
The young man who had been saved by Yang Tianyou with his Sky-Piercing Blade did not choose to intervene immediately. He swallowed a Wound-Healing Pill, held Long Spear, and stood there menacingly.
Upon seeing this, Yang Tianyou's eyes flashed with admiration; the young man's approach was very wise.
If one is not strong enough to rashly intervene in his battle with the Darkblood Old Devil, it might backfire. However, by covering for him and restraining him, one can not only play a significant role but also ensure one's own safety.
