The Sect-Guarding Spirit Beast
"Change!"
Lei Bei's sword, Jin Chang's shadow-like attacks, and Li Shaojun's immediate death, all combined with Zhang Xuezhou's fossil technique being used in reverse.
Leaving aside the ways in which the four heroes of Qingzhou dealt with the situation, everyone had their own way of protecting themselves when faced with risks.
Zhang Xuezhou felt the lime falling from his head repeatedly, as nearly half of the stone, which had been ground away by the fossil technique, hit his head.
He groaned, clearly having been hit quite hard as well.
Among this group, Lei Bei responsible for protecting Jin Chang's safety, while Jin Chang was responsible for containing Zhang Xuezhou. Li Shaojun, on the other hand, was wary of many people and acted extremely conservatively.
The four heroes of Qingzhou were unable to restrain Su Fei in this queuing passage.
Su Fei ultimately managed to turn the tables and kill everyone.
The only thing Su Fei didn't understand was that the latter four were not ordinary cultivators. For example, Jin Chang's status was even higher than that of Su Fang, the former sect leader of the Beast Taming Sect, and so was his strength.
Lei Bei also a retainer of the King of Huainan's Household, ranked second in swordsmanship.
As for Zhang Xuezhou and Li Shaojun, they each have their own abilities.
After releasing the fossil technique, Zhang Xuezhou reached out and took the yellow feather of the Peacock King.
This swept away the dust around him, and his body gained an affinity for earth, making even falling stones feel like soft mud.
"Damn it!"
Lei Bei, who was being repeatedly struck by falling rocks a few meters ahead, finally became somewhat violent, sending countless fragments of rock flying, and then he threw his sword with all his might.
A sound like a dragon's roar rang out, followed by a flash of flame that illuminated the countless pieces of flesh and blood in the passage.
Su Fei's panicked voice rang out, followed by the sound of desperate footsteps as he fled.
Clearly, Su Fei knew that this team included important figures, even top-tier experts.
This trap could kill the four heroes of Qingzhou, but it would be difficult to completely eliminate Lei Bei and his group.
The thought that four more people would arrive later dispelled any thought he had of checking or retaliating.
"I'm going after that kid. He's too dangerous in a place like this; we have to keep him under control!"
Jin Chang let out a low growl, then stomped his foot on Li Shaojun.
Compared to the trouble Zhang Xuezhou caused, Su Fei would obviously cause more trouble in this kind of place.
Looking at Zhang Xuezhou, who was calmly healing him, Jin Chang couldn't help but curse under his breath, thinking that Zhang Xuezhou didn't need his protection at all.
His body moved through the darkness and shadows, constantly chasing forward.
"Hey, are you really dead yet?"
Lei Bei asked a question, and then kicked the body beneath his feet again.
He sensed that Li Shaojun's body was unresponsive, and Lei Bei couldn't help but shake his head as he stepped over the other person's body.
"His spell has a casting cooldown; he probably hasn't come back to life yet!"
Zhang Xuezhou muttered something, then touched his head to make sure the wound had healed before randomly sweeping the Peacock King's feathers around.
The dust in the passage didn't stick to his body, but it still managed to get all over Li Shaojun.
After pondering for a few seconds, he had no choice but to step on Li Shaojun's body.
Even moving around in this kind of place is difficult, let alone dragging someone along. Zhang Xuezhou could only wait for Li Shaojun to arrive so he could wake up and crawl out on his own.
He followed behind the cursing Lei Bei, crawling forward. The strong smell of blood and the sight of mangled limbs falling around him made Zhang Xuezhou quickly move away from the passage.
The passageway carved into the Beast Taming Sect's secret vault was extremely long, and many traps were set up along the way. Zhang Xuezhou even saw a fallen crossbow as he traveled through it.
He felt that the Beast Taming Sect members had nothing better to do than create so many surprises with the secret vault; one wrong move and they could all get themselves killed.
Not only is it inconvenient to store things in this kind of place, but even bringing things in and putting them away is a huge hassle.
But after he had drilled down nearly three hundred meters, a wide underground space came into view, and Zhang Xuezhou finally understood why the Beast Taming Sect had dug such a long tunnel.
This is a naturally Tongfeng cave space, which has been carved out into a stone chamber for rest, as well as storage space and a pool of clear water for drinking.
In case of unforeseen circumstances, such a place would be an excellent refuge, sufficient to defend against or even counterattack the pursuers.
Zhang Xuezhou's gaze swept over the several large boxes in the storage room, then turned to Su Fei, who was holding a crossbow and trembling with fear by the Green Pool, and Jin Chang stood opposite him with a wary expression.
Su Fei's crossbow bolt had already missed, but Jin Chang did not move, his face showing a strong sense of vigilance.
"Damn it, why haven't you killed this little bastard yet...?"
Lei Bei walked forward, cursing and swearing, but when he got close to the Green Pool, his expression became serious.
Not only was Jin Chang on high alert, but Lei Bei could also sense a faint, locking aura emanating from the Azure Pool.
If they dare to act recklessly, Lei Bei will undoubtedly launch a thunderous strike against his opponents as well.
What's inside?
Lei Bei asked the question in a low voice, he couldn't help but tighten his grip on his broken sword.
He had just used his initial Divine Ability Realm Divine Ability in his anger, and his physical strength had decreased significantly. He could easily kill someone of low strength like Su Fei, but he could only flee in a sorry state when facing someone of high strength.
"It must be the guardian spirit beast of the Beast Taming Sect!"
Jin Chang responded with a wary expression, constantly searching for a safe place to retreat.
"I thought it was some top expert lurking in the pool, but it turns out it's just a beast. Then I'm not afraid anymore," Lei Bei muttered to himself.
As soon as he finished speaking, a giant hand formed from the water waves appeared in the pool and slammed towards Lei Bei.
This giant hand is three zhang in diameter, and when it slaps someone, it's like swatting a mosquito.
Jin Chang moved, while Lei Bei swept his short sword horizontally.
"Don't get water on your body!"
Jin Chang gave a hurried reminder. Lei Bei stunned for a moment, only to feel the large hand of water being shattered cleanly by his short sword, and the water from the three-zhang-wide pool of clear water drenched him like a drowned rat.
Before Lei Bei react, Lei Bei felt a tightening around his waist as a ring of water formed from the waves locked around his body.
The purple hue imbued with Law Power within the water made his eyelids twitch, and then he began wildly slashing with his sword.
Before he could swing his sword many times, the water ring had already wrapped around him and pulled him down into the blue pool.
"It's the Great Sage! The Great Sage is still protecting our Beast Taming Sect!"
Beside the emerald pool, Su Fei's expression changed from fear to ecstatic joy.
The strongest members of the Beast Taming Sect are not humans, but beasts.
The beasts mentioned include various animals such as domestic dogs and tigers, as well as Demon Beast and even powerful demons.
If it weren't for the constant influx of demons to the Northern Kuru Continent, the Beast Taming Sect would have several powerful demons.
Some powerful demons left more than a hundred years ago, but others found it difficult to travel to the Northern Kuru Continent for various reasons.
The one in the Green Pool is just like that.
The turbulent waves surged in the emerald pool, and a giant ape, three zhang tall and bound in chains, roared and rolled, while Lei Bei continuously swept away by sword techniques.
"The Great Sage is invincible in the water!"
Su Fei had just mustered his courage and hadn't even straightened his body when he felt a sharp pain in his spine.
He glanced around and saw that Jin Chang had somehow gotten behind him, with two transparent threads passing through his body.
The excruciating pain of being pulled caused Su Fei to let out a piercing scream.
This brought the fighting in the Green Pool to a halt, with Lei Bei swept around by the longsword, and the giant ape not retaliating.
Clearly, it chose the wrong target when selecting its first move.
Despite his seemingly fierce appearance, Lei Bei was not the strongest; the one who could truly control the situation was Jin Chang was seriously injured.
