Visitor from Beyond Heaven

"The mountain lord truly possesses Divine Talent! I'll go scout out the enemy's situation for you!" Talking Finch exclaimed with great enthusiasm and passion.

In its view, the Beyond the Mundane People the mortal realm had already been dealt with, so what was a mere Golden Armor Guard worth!

In the night sky, the Black-Clad Woman's mount was terrified. Its master had been killed by its opponent in a very short time, and it wanted to flee immediately.

Qin Ming drew his bow to its fullest extent, and an iron arrow flew from the string with a soft thud, piercing the raptor in the night fog and leaving a trail of blood, severely wounding it.

"If you don't want to die, land on the ground immediately." On the back of the Red Hawk, Qin Ming's clothes fluttered, forcing the strange bird to land.

"Mountain Lord, the situation is not good. The Golden Armor Guard's mount is actually Bat Bird." Talking Finch returned and quickly reported the situation.

"Are Bat Bird special?" Qin Ming asked.

"The Bat Bird's sense of smell is among the best in the mountains, and because they are rare, they are often used to track enemies," Talking Finch explained quickly.

It asked anxiously, "Has someone tampered with your clothes? That Golden Armor Guard seemed very composed, as if he was certain he could find you."

Qin Ming sniffed himself and found no unusual odor.

"The variety of scents that Bat Bird can smell far exceeds that of other creatures." Talking Finch was very wary of this strange creature.

"So, I've been tricked? Human hearts are unpredictable." Qin Ming frowned. When he met his acquaintance in Silver Vine Town, someone must have sabotaged him.

The person who made the move wasn't necessarily Zheng Maoze, because it could have been done without physical contact.

"Has he arrived?" Qin Ming asked.

"They landed on the edge of the desert and didn't come in immediately," Talking Finch informed them.

"He's keeping his distance from the Black-Clad Woman, afraid of any misunderstanding." Qin Ming had already anticipated that she wasn't a follower of the Black-Clad Woman.

Otherwise, why would the Golden Armor Guard sluggishly follow behind, watching the Beyond the Mundane People take action? He should have been the one to go first.

"Since Bat Bird are following us and we can't avoid them, let's fight to the end! Quickly make arrangements!" Qin Ming had no intention of running away.

Aside from a charred small shield, a chopstick-length black spear, and some Day Gold leaf, the Black-Clad Woman carried no other valuable items.

"Flap your wings and erase some of the traces of the battle here, quickly!" Qin Ming instructed Red Hawk.

He then looked at Talking Finch and said, "Hold onto the woman's shoes and follow behind me, leaving some footprints in the sand."

"Mountain Lord, you're making things difficult for the bird," the Talking Finch said, flapping its wings.

"You're a mutated creature, isn't doing this easy for you? You need to be quick. Although he's keeping his distance from the Black-Clad Woman, he can't wait much longer," Qin Ming urged.

Qin Ming, carrying the woman's body, rushed quickly into the dark night fog.

He killed the Black-Clad Woman without eliciting any danger or horror in the desert. He suspected it might have been in accordance with some Esoteric Sect ritual, thus indirectly offering tribute.

According to legend, if one has performed a blood sacrifice to other gods, trouble is likely to occur in the desert.

"Wait for me over there!" Qin Ming ordered the Black-Clad Woman, whose horse had been shot, not to move.

He took off his coat and buried it in the yellow sand, thus disguising himself at the scene.

Qin Ming used a section of the Black-Clad Woman's sleeve to vigorously rub his neck, hands, and other areas, unsure if it would remove the odor.

Then he "washed" his body with yellow sand.

"Why haven't they come in yet?" He waited for a while, but the Golden Armor Guard still hadn't entered.

After killing the Black-Clad Woman, Qin Ming was filled with fighting spirit.

In the past, many people told him how powerful the Beyond the Mundane People and that he should not be easily provoked, which did put some pressure on him.

In addition, the young man who could turn into mist last time also made him very wary. If it weren't for the fact that the Mutton Fat Jade Iron Saber happened to be able to restrain the other party's "Mist Body", he would have been in real danger.

But today, he believes the so-called distinction between immortals and mortals has been exaggerated. After repeatedly integrating the Heavenly Light Force, he is now able to kill such people.

Of course, Qin Ming did not dare to underestimate the Beyond the Mundane, because it was indeed very terrifying, after all, the first realm was already able to exert the power of consciousness.

"The concept of Mind Fast' —eliminating distracting thoughts, achieving State of Mind state of emptiness, tranquility, and purity, thereby approaching the Dao, awakening the Light of the Mind, and giving birth to the power of consciousness—is truly profound," Qin Ming couldn't help but sigh.

This does not mean that those Beyond the Mundane People will neglect their physical bodies. In their later cultivation, they will nourish their bodies with extraordinary power, leaving no obvious weaknesses.

What's most frightening is that their path is very well-established, allowing them to advance triumphantly all the way.

However, the New Life Path only progresses rapidly in the first realm; it becomes difficult after reaching the Outer Saint Domain.

The Mind Fast is comparable to the realm of New Life. Normally, after awakening the Light of the Mind multiple times in the Mind Fast realm, one can suppress the vast majority of the Heavenly Light Force.

Sometimes, those who have undergone multiple New Life feel despair. They possess a powerful and clear aura of Heavenly Light Force, yet they cannot harm those Beyond the Mundane People the mortal Consciousness Power multiple times at the Mind Fast realm, as if they are inherently restrained.

In the end, it was generally believed that New Life was no match for Mind Fast.

This is almost becoming a consensus!

"The Sky Supporting Force Tathagata Force should be able to shake even the most powerful masters Beyond the Mundane, but these legendary Heavenly Light Force are probably very difficult to master and are not widely known."

After Qin Ming regained his memory, he already knew many things.

The phrase "Eating Clouds and Gargling Dew" refers not to consuming the sunset's glow, but rather rare substances from top-grade Fire Spring, and drinking not the night's vapors and dew, but the mysterious "Heavenly Bloom essence" from the depths of the night sky.

Those who can achieve the Eating Clouds and Gargling Dew" are already truly formidable figures in this Beyond the Mundane.

Even someone like the Black-Clad Woman, who has reached a state of Mind Fast purification, still eats grains.

The path of "New Life" is widely known, mainly because of its low barrier to entry; for ordinary people who want to improve themselves, the only option is through physical mutation.

Qin Ming no longer considered the path to the Beyond the Mundane and remained vigilant here.

"Mountain Lord, I've sacrificed so much for you this time, you can't fail!" Talking Finch murmured to herself, her voice trembling.

"Has he still not been dealt with after all this time?" The Golden Armor Guard couldn't wait any longer and urged the Bat Bird to attack.

It flapped its fleshy wings and slowly entered the desert.

Scattered footprints on the yellow sand, with traces of blood, pointed into the depths of the night fog.

Bat Bird have fleshy wings like bats, the body of birds, the head of tigers and leopards, a thick and long nose like pigs, and an exceptionally keen sense of smell.

It followed the scent, flying at low altitudes, silently approaching its target.

"Hmm, could it be that she succeeded, killed him, and buried him underground?" The Golden Armor Guard frowned.

Because the Bat Bird indicated to him that there was a strong scent of his target beneath the yellow sand ahead.

"How could she bury someone after killing her opponent? Something must have happened!" The Golden Armor Man held a gleaming greatsword, his expression turning cold.

The Bat Bird gestured to him, indicating that there was still a strong smell ahead.

"Sigh, burying clothes under the yellow sand is really useless." Qin Ming's voice came from the distant night fog.

"You're quite something, aren't you? New Life facing Mind Fast, yet you killed a Beyond the Mundane People." The man on the Bat Bird was clad in dazzling golden armor, his eyes flashing like lightning.

He could vaguely see that ahead, shrouded in night fog, Red Hawk appeared to be seriously injured, lying on the ground.

"She's not dead, she's escaped." Qin Ming's heavy breathing came from behind the several-meter-long Red Hawk, as if he were seriously injured.

"You don't need to hide it, she must be dead!" the Golden Armor Guard said coldly, as the Bat Bird carried him slowly forward.

Just then, he suddenly felt something was wrong, as if a great danger was about to descend. The Heavenly Light burst forth from his body.

"Ah..." he roared, finally realizing where the crisis came from. It wasn't the front he was focused on, but rather the meteorite falling from the night sky!

Who could withstand that? The immense weight hurtled his hair!

Such a sudden change leaves little time to avoid; who could have predicted such an unexpected situation?

It must be said that his instincts were incredibly strong; anyone else would have been smashed into a pulp by the falling meteorite, but he managed to avoid vital organs at the crucial moment.

With a soft thud, his Heavenly Light was pierced, one arm was mangled and bloody, and the greatsword fell to the ground.

Meanwhile, his Bat Bird was struck by a meteorite. It wasn't strong enough to withstand the impact and died instantly, plunging low into the desert.

The Golden Armor Guard saw clearly that the meteorite was shaped like a hammer!

To be precise, it was a giant sledgehammer that fell from the sky.

He was furious; he had actually been outmaneuvered.

"Silly bird, run! I told you to play dead, not to actually fall asleep!" Talking Finch's loud cry came from ahead.

It flapped its wings quickly and ran away immediately. Not long ago, Qin Ming had instructed it to imitate his voice and deceive the Golden Armor Guard.

The Red Hawk shook its body and soared into the night sky with a whoosh.

Under the cover of night, Qin Ming stood on the back of the raptor that the Black-Clad Woman had severely injured, his eyes shining like stars.

His archery skills are unparalleled, and that's no exaggeration. As a result, his throwing skills have also become highly proficient. Not long ago, when he swung his sledgehammer down, he even had a feeling that he could hit the target.

The Golden Armor Guard was beyond furious. Before the battle had even truly begun, one of his arms had been crippled and smashed to pieces. The excruciating pain, coupled with the feeling of humiliation, made him so enraged that the Heavenly Light seemed to surge and his entire body became blindingly bright.

Qin Ming ordered the Black Raptor to lower itself, and then fired arrow after arrow downwards!

His pupils contracted because the iron arrow was blocked by the Heavenly Light and failed to pierce his body.

This was a master who could initially project the Heavenly Light; the dazzling light could reach about half a foot away from his body, blocking the iron Arrow Feathers and even snapping some of them in half.

Qin Ming was taken aback. To deal with him, they had actually sent out a master who had just stepped into the Outer Saint level!

However, it's no big deal. He destroyed the opponent's Flying Mount, and the initiative is now in his hands.

Qin Ming continued to draw his bow and shoot arrows, exhausting the opponent's powerful Heavenly Light. Perhaps in the end, he could kill an Outer Saint!

The Golden Armor Guard had never felt so frustrated. This battle was too painful. He was severely injured by a meteorite falling from the sky, and now he was being used as a live target!

Qin Ming quickly used up the stock in four quivers, leaving only one quiver, but then he suddenly began to shake violently.

"Land quickly!"

His original strategy was perfect, but now things have taken an unexpected turn. Man proposes, God disposes. The Black Raptor was shot through by him and was seriously injured. In addition, the force with which he threw the hammer and stepped on it almost sent it flying.

Now it struggles to fly and wobbles as it falls toward the ground.

"Red Hawk!" Qin Ming shouted.

However, the Red Hawk and the Talking Finch had just run as far away as possible, and that distant water couldn't quench their immediate thirst.

"Haha..." The Golden Armor Man, feeling deeply humiliated and frustrated, laughed loudly. He picked up the greatsword from the ground with his left hand, located the area where the raptor was about to fall, and strode over there.

"This is... not satisfied with just throwing the sledgehammer, he smashed himself down too?" Talking Finch stared in disbelief as she approached.

Red Hawk arrived too, but it was too late.

Qin Ming's earlier composure and faint smile vanished. He wasn't about to fall to his death; although the Black Raptor beneath his feet was descending, it wasn't falling directly but gliding down. However, what was more dangerous was that he was about to confront an Outer Saint!
