The next day, Su Fan got up early.

He brought everything with him and stocked up sufficiently in case of emergencies.

He now had six Storage Bags: two that held five cubic meters, two that held two cubic meters, and two that held one cubic meter. They were more than enough for this trip into the mountains.

Old Ye had said he would come over in the morning, but who would have thought that he would not appear in the small courtyard until nearly noon?

Ye Tianhe glanced at Su Fan and nodded. "Let's go..."

Su Fan ignored him and turned around, about to push open the door and leave.

"What are you doing..."

"Didn't you say we were going into the mountains?"

Ye Tianhe slapped his forehead, then patted his Storage Bag and took out a flying shuttle about an inch long.

He tossed the flying shuttle into the air. It expanded with the wind, instantly transforming into a diamond-shaped shuttle four or five meters long.

Ye Tianhe leaped onto it and looked back at Su Fan with contempt.

"You didn't think I wanted to walk into Shaoyang Mountain with you, did you? What are you looking at? Hurry up and get on..."

Old Ye's words made Su Fan's face flush bright red.

He moved and floated onto the flying shuttle. Before he could even steady himself, the shuttle shot away with a whoosh.

"Damn..."

Su Fan had been completely unprepared. He landed hard on the flying shuttle. That guy had definitely done it on purpose.

Old Ye, I hate you...

Seeing Su Fan's embarrassed appearance, Ye Tianhe was delighted and burst out laughing.

In the past, when Su Fan entered the mountains with a group of Rogue Cultivators, he had to get up before dawn, and they could only enter the deep mountains by noon.

Moreover, they had to find a suitable campsite before dark.

After entering the mountains, they had to proceed with caution. The slightest mistake could result in casualties.

How could it compare to now? In the time it took to burn half an incense stick, the two of them had already ridden the flying shuttle deep into the mountains.

For a distance this far, Rogue Cultivators would have to trek through the mountains for at least half a month.

"Big Brother, that's about enough. Stop flying farther in..."

Ye Tianhe stood at the front of the flying shuttle with his hands behind his back, a Spiritual Energy Shield raised before him to block the fierce wind.

Hearing Su Fan's words, he shook his head.

"What... are you scared..."

Su Fan was nearly driven mad with anger. Any cultivator knew that one could not fly through the sky after entering the mountains.

If they happened to encounter a second-order flying demonic beast, they would die a miserable death.

"Of course I'm scared. You've already flown this far. What if we run into a demonic beast skilled at flying?"

Ye Tianhe smiled arrogantly.

"Cut it down..."

Su Fan once again gave Old Ye's pretentious pose full marks.

That guy might be useless at other things, but he was truly a master at showing off.

He even came with his own background music, instantly drawing people into the scene. He was absolutely at the pinnacle of the showing-off world.

Shriek!!!

At that moment, a piercing cry came from the distance.

A giant bird with a wingspan of more than ten meters suddenly burst from the clouds and charged straight toward the flying shuttle.

Clang!!!

The long sword behind Ye Tianhe shot into the sky with a whoosh.

He formed a sword sign with two fingers and pointed forward.

A heaven-shaking Sword Intent erupted with a boom, while majestic Sword Momentum instantly tore space apart.

It transformed into a Sword Aura that shot straight into the skies.

In the blink of an eye, the giant bird in the distance was cleaved in two by a single sword strike.

The flying sword returned to its sheath amid a shrill whistle. Anyone could sense the joyful emotion radiating from it.

Su Fan was stunned. This sword had become sentient.

Ye Tianhe said, "Let's go down. It's been cooped up for several months without leaving its sheath. How could that do without seeing some blood?"

Damn...

Sword Cultivators were all lunatics. Even their swords were abnormal.

The flying shuttle descended into a valley. Su Fan looked around, but before he could say anything, Old Ye pointed ahead.

"There's an Ironhide Savage Bull over there. Go and butcher it."

Su Fan refused outright and said angrily, "Why me? Just have your flying sword go whoosh and cut it down!"

Ye Tianhe shook his head and said sternly, "What are you talking about? A first-order mid-grade demonic beast? It's worthy of my sword?"

Su Fan was nearly choked to death by Old Ye's words.

There was nothing he could do. That man's flying sword was noble.

You're all masters, aren't you? Fine, I'll go, this little Rogue Cultivator.

Su Fan could only draw his Magic Sword and walk in the direction Old Ye had indicated.

He had thoroughly read the Bestiary of Demonic Beasts, which gave a comprehensive introduction to the Ironhide Savage Bull's habits and weaknesses.

Its two horns could be refined into weapons, its hide could be refined into magic artifacts or made into talismans, and its other parts were useful as well. Hunting one and bringing it back could fetch at least dozens of spirit stones.

Its meat was also firm, juicy, tender, and delicious. Several restaurants in the market bought it in large quantities year-round.

While Su Fan was lost in thought, he suddenly heard a boom. The dense forest opposite him erupted into a commotion.

A colossal beast standing two or three meters tall charged recklessly through the woods.

One thick ancient tree after another was smashed to pieces by its impact, yet its speed did not decrease in the slightest. Roaring, it burst out of the dense forest.

The Ironhide Savage Bull was fierce and berserk, its hide hard as iron.

For Rogue Cultivators to deal with such a demonic beast, they needed at least several people, and they also had to make preparations in advance.

But to Su Fan, killing a first-order mid-grade demonic beast was nothing worth mentioning.

He did not panic in the slightest. Holding his sword in both hands, he quietly waited for the Ironhide Savage Bull to arrive.

The Ironhide Savage Bull was as fast as lightning. The dozens of meters between them vanished in an instant, and it charged toward Su Fan with brutal force.

At the instant before it struck Su Fan, his figure suddenly vanished from where he stood and appeared beside the Ironhide Savage Bull.

Using his left foot as the axis, he spun around sharply, swung the greatsword in a full circle with both hands, and viciously slashed at the bull's left foreleg.

Bang!

The Magic Sword weighed two or three hundred pounds. Su Fan swung it around in a complete circle, and the tremendous force instantly severed the bull's leg.

The Ironhide Savage Bull pitched forward and fell, but its massive inertia caused it to roll across the ground several times.

It struggled to turn over. Before it could rise, a flying needle had already shot into its eye socket with a whoosh.

"Moo..."

The Ironhide Savage Bull struggled violently for a while before finally becoming still.

Su Fan walked over to it and frowned as he faced the enormous beast.

This big fellow weighed at least several tons. The few Storage Bags he had were completely useless for carrying it.

With no other choice, Su Fan took out his Magic Dagger and prepared to cut it apart.

He would remove the useful materials from the Ironhide Savage Bull and take some choice cuts of meat with him.

At that moment, Ye Tianhe walked over.

He touched the ring on his hand, and the enormous Ironhide Savage Bull instantly vanished from the ground.

Su Fan was dumbfounded.

Damn it, it was a Storage Ring.

He could not help sighing. As expected of a disciple of a Sword Sect—he was already using a Storage Ring in the Qi Refining Realm.

Compared with Storage Bags, Storage Rings often held dozens of cubic meters.

Storage Rings were not something ordinary people could possess. Even cultivators in the Foundation Establishment Realm might not be able to get one.

"What are you still looking at? Let's go... We'll camp up ahead tonight."

After speaking, Ye Tianhe left leisurely with his hands behind his back, humming a little tune.

Su Fan shook his head. Sword Cultivators were truly not to be trifled with.

After that, Su Fan killed two more demonic beasts, both low-grade first-order demonic beasts.

First-order demonic beasts had no innate divine abilities. They relied entirely on their powerful bodies and astonishing speed.

That posed no threat to Su Fan at all. He could hunt one down in just two or three moves.

Thanks to the great benefactor Gui Youbai for the tip and monthly tickets. Thanks to San Dai A, Bai Genyu's recommendation tickets, and Old Bu expresses his deepest gratitude. Thank you all for your kindness and support.
