So fast!

Shen Changchuan's expression changed slightly.

The Gale Falcon's speed was so incredible that the hundred-zhang distance seemed to vanish in an instant, making it almost impossible for Shen Changchuan, even with his perfected Spirit Eye Technique, to capture its shadow!

"Fire!"

Shen Changchuan shouted the order.

The moment they heard the command, huge crossbows hidden in the grass and trees around the spirit fields suddenly fired, and large nets shot out like arrows into the sky.

At the same time, Shen Changchuan almost instantly cast the Light Body Technique, his figure flickering like a phantom as he rapidly sprinted towards the spirit fields where the Gale Falcon was descending.

However, the Gale Falcon's speed was not only much faster than Shen Changchuan's, but also faster than the nets that had been shot into the air in the form of crossbow bolts!

Before Shen Changchuan could even arrive, and before the large nets in the sky had a chance to open, the Gale Falcon had already pierced through layers of space, descending from the heavens with a sharp gust of wind!

With lightning-like speed, the Gale Falcon flapped its wings, unleashing its Yao energy and stirring up a torrent of air that swept across the golden spirit grain below.

Instantly, the pale golden stalks, laden with clusters of spirit grain, were severed and pulverized by the sharp airflow. The dense spirit grain was then swept up into the sky, forming a golden stream that the Gale Falcon swallowed in one gulp!

Bang bang bang!!!

At this moment, the nets, shaped like crossbow bolts, that had been fired upwards, finally sprang open and expanded after being triggered by small mechanisms.

The large nets, dense and numerous, covered nearly half the sky, sealing off every possible escape route.

The Gale Falcon seemed to have nowhere to flee!

However, a hint of disdain flashed in the Gale Falcon's pupils.

It spun rapidly in mid-air, and then, incredibly sharp Wind Blades were unleashed one after another towards the sky.

The Wind Blades were so fast, that in the blink of an eye, the large nets, which could trap even cultivators at the Innate realm for a significant time, were torn to shreds in mid-air!

The Gale Falcon, like a gray lightning bolt, swiftly passed through the opening above, soaring into the high heavens.

It began to circle in the sky.

"Damn it!"

Shen Changchuan was forced to stop.

He stood on the ridge, looking up at the circling Gale Falcon, his brow furrowed.

Fast!

It was truly too fast!

Before he could even arrive, the beast had already completed its plunder and made its escape.

No wonder this type of Yao Beast was listed as one of the most troublesome, making it difficult for even cultivators at the late Qi Gathering stage to deal with!

Before reaching the Out of Body Stage and being able to fly, this creature was practically invincible!

Shen Changchuan felt a headache coming on.

At this moment, the other large nets from different directions in the sky, having arrived late, fluttered to the ground.

They had netted nothing but air.

"Changchuan, why don't we just let the villagers harvest it directly? We can save as much as we can!"

However, Han Qinhu, who was only at the first level of Qi Gathering, arrived late, just managing to catch up.

He glanced at the Gale Falcon circling high above, which had become a black dot against the sky, his face filled with worry as he spoke again, trying to persuade him.

Too fast!

So fast that he couldn't even catch the Gale Falcon's shadow, let alone stop it.

If that beast attacked him, he would likely have no power to resist!

It would be impossible to fight back!

As he spoke, Han Qinhu's gaze also fell upon the spirit fields nearby, which had been ravaged by the Gale Falcon.

What was originally a flat expanse of golden yellow was now deeply sunken in a large area.

It looked like a dog had chewed it.

At least ten catties of spirit grain were gone!

Han Qinhu couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

Looking at the Gale Falcon circling in the sky now, it showed no intention of leaving.

Clearly, ten catties of spirit grain were far from satisfying it.

"No, let's try one more time. If it doesn't work this time, then we'll talk."

Shen Changchuan closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then shook his head and refused.

Upon hearing this, although Han Qinhu's face remained worried, he could only retreat.

He stepped back and signaled the villagers who were ambushed to quickly string their crossbows and prepare for the next attack.

The surrounding villagers looked at Shen Changchuan in the field, their eyes also filled with worry.

If they couldn't drive away that Yao Beast, they would be in big trouble.

But even though they were worried, they were powerless since they couldn't even see the Gale Falcon's shadow.

They could only grip their weapons tightly, pull their bowstrings taut, and contribute their own meager strength as much as possible.

Fifteen minutes later, the Gale Falcon, after circling in the sky and investigating, seemed to have discovered that the two-legged beasts below posed no significant threat.

So it swooped down again, descending like lightning.

In a breath, it glided to hover above the spirit grain, and gusts of wind blades swept out.

Just as it was about to repeat its previous move and snatch away that patch of spirit grain, but, at this very instant, Shen Changchuan made his move!

At some unknown time, a bell appeared in his hand.

Ding ding ding!!!

Three crisp bell sounds suddenly rang out, instantly echoing over the spirit fields!

Shen Changchuan pushed the Soul-Snatching Bell with all his might, pouring almost all of his Magical Power into it. Its radiance surged, maximizing its power!

And as the bell sounds rang out, an invisible force swept out, suddenly enveloping the entire space.

Instantly, the Gale Falcon's body stiffened, its head felt as if it had been smashed by a giant iron hammer, and its consciousness became chaotic.

Its body was controlled at this moment, its demonic power went haywire, and the wind blades it had unleashed dissipated one after another, stirring up a gust of wind around them.

And its body, completely out of control, fell to the ground.

Its extremely high speed caused it to tumble on the ground, leaving a long trail on the earth as soil and dust were kicked up into the sky.

"The chance, attack!"

Seeing this, Han Qinhu's worried expression completely vanished, replaced by immense excitement as he shouted.

Suddenly, Bang bang bang!!!

Arrows shot out densely from all directions, Large nets were launched into the air, opening up and descending towards the Gale Falcon!

Not far away, several villagers rushed forward with weapons like iron forks and long spears!

This made Han Qinhu freeze for a moment, then his expression changed drastically, and he shouted:

"You few, who told you to come up! Hurry back!"

But before Han Qinhu's voice could fall, An accident happened!

The Gale Falcon was, after all, a Yao Beast.

In terms of spiritual sense and soul, Yao Beasts were inherently weak. Survival didn't depend on these.

It relied on instinct!

The moment its body fell, the Gale Falcon instinctively sensed immense danger.

"Screech!"

A sharp bird cry echoed from the dust, Then, Boom!!!

A fierce tornado suddenly swept up from the ground!

Whether it was the flying arrows or the nets that had opened and were shot down, They were all caught by the tornado and torn to shreds in an instant!

"Ah!!!"

The villagers who had charged forward screamed and were swept into the sky by the tornado.

Under the cutting of the solid-like gale, they were instantly torn to pieces, their blood dyeing the wind blades red!

But this was not the end!

Swish swish swish!!!

The Gale Falcon instinctively flapped its wings and spun, Gray Wind Blades then slashed towards Shen Changchuan like rotating scythes, with a terrifying momentum like a storm!

Instinctively wanting to eliminate the greatest source of danger, And all these changes happened too quickly.

The Gale Falcon's instinctive attack was also extremely fast, the Wind Blades were as swift as lightning.

Shen Changchuan had just activated the Soul-Snatching Bell, Gray Wind Blades were already tearing through the air, heading straight for his head with incredibly sharp edges!

"What?!"

Shen Changchuan's face changed drastically, He had no time to dodge.

Golden Bell Technique · Fifth Level!

Hum hum hum!!!

Crisp bell chimes suddenly spread out, and around Shen Changchuan, illusory golden bells appeared, layer upon layer, five consecutive layers of Golden Bell covering him!

After Shen Changchuan entered Qi Gathering Fifth Level, his internal Magical Power became more abundant, and his control over his own Magical Power became more proficient. This made his casting speed for spells faster, allowing his Mastery Level Spells to be almost truly instant!

This defensive spell, originally used by the fourth of the Four Fiends of Heshan to resist Shen Changchuan's Wind Blade attacks, was now cast by Shen Changchuan, And he had insanely layered it five times.

The superposition of the five-layer Golden Bell Technique made Shen Changchuan appear radiant, giving an impression of invincibility!

And in that instant, The moment the five-layer Golden Bell Technique was completed, Gray Wind Blades struck him!

Clang clang clang.

Crisp metallic sounds reverberated. The collision of powerful forces sent shockwaves in all directions, distorting the very air!

The ground beneath Shen Changchuan's feet also shattered under the immense force, spiderweb-like cracks spreading out, kicking up dust that was scattered by the airflow!

Under the Gale Falcon's powerful Wind Blade attack, Four layers of Golden Bell shattered consecutively.

But in the end, there was still the Golden Bell protecting Shen Changchuan!

This strike, Shen Changchuan ultimately endured it head-on.

However, his complexion also turned pale.

His opponent was, after all, a being comparable to the Peak Qi Gathering Sixth Level. Although he withstood the opponent's attack with his Fifth Level defensive spell, the powerful counter-shock still caused him to suffer some backlash, and he let out a muffled groan.

At the same time, the Gale Falcon also quickly recovered from its daze. Its previously stumbling body managed to stand firm again, spreading its wings as if preparing to take to the sky once more.

If it were allowed to take off again and quickly regain its composure at this moment, it would likely become a huge problem!

In this moment of crisis, Shen Changchuan couldn't afford to worry about anything else. He forcefully summoned the Magical Power within his body and slammed his palm onto the ground.

Earth Shaking Technique!

RUMBLE!!!

The entire ground shook violently in an instant.

The Gale Falcon, which had just bent its legs and spread its wings to prepare to use the ground to launch itself back into the sky, was unable to maintain its footing due to the shaking ground.

It lost its balance for a moment, its body slipping, and half of its body tumbled and fell back to the ground!
