Chapter 866: Got A Bargain

A light was shining brightly on the Water Suspension Tablet in Huixun City!

There was a crowd around it as everyone looked fervently at the name on the stone tablet.

“This… Given that the name is in light red, he must’ve killed a high-rank ferocious beast and gotten its blood crystal?” A strange look could be seen in a rogue cultivator’s eyes as he asked. He even began to breathe rapidly.

“That’s not all—look, the color has changed from dark red to light red, and there’s also a hint of purple. This is an extremely rare situation, which is clear that the high-rank beast mutated! It’s the only reason the beast showed this unusual phenomenon.”

“Hiss, hiss…” Gasps were heard after the person spoke.

The rogue cultivator from before tightened his tied-up hair and rolled his eyes to look over and ask, “Are you saying that the vortex that appeared above the Forest of Death just now was because of this vicious beast’s mutation? And the mutated beast has been slaughtered?:

After hearing the questions, the teen with a distinguished temperament chuckled and nodded hard. He was also in awe.

Everyone tensed up at that moment and thought, ‘That was actually a mutated high-rank fierce beast.’

Due to the mutated blood crystal, Wang Haobin even led by a huge margin and had a much better result than the person in second place.

First place, Wang Haobin, 26 blood crystals!

Second place, Li Tianyu, 16 blood crystals!

Third place, Su Tianqian, 10 blood crystals!

About 33 meters diagonally behind the Water Suspension Tablet, 2 middle-aged men stood side by side.

They wore luxurious clothes, had exceptional temperaments, and looked vaguely overbearing, which was evident that they had had high ranks for a long time. They were both influential figures in Huixun City. One was Wai Weinian, who was the patriarch of the Wang family that was being watched over by a Venerable One. The other man was Chen Danbo, who was the Chen family’s patriarch. The Chen family did not have Venerable Ones, but they had 2 top-grade Spiritualists that were unimaginably formidable.

“Patriarch Wang, congratulations! Given that the Wang family has such a brilliant son, why are you worried that you’re not powerful enough?” Chen Danbo chuckled. A look of envy could be seen deep inside his eyes.

Although Wang Weinian tried to hide it on purpose, the joy in his eyes was clear to see. He waved his sleeve and sighed before he responded, “Brother Chen, it’s still too early to say this now; the key is still the number of high-rank beasts. I recall that a top-grade savage beast’s blood crystal appeared the last time.”

Chen Danbo smiled bitterly. “A top-grade savage beast’s blood crystal will purely be good luck and can’t be easily obtained.”

At the spur of the moment, the rankings on the Water Suspension Tablet changed once more. Wang Weinian stroked his beard and laughed out loud. “Look—Botian’s chasing up with the number of blood crystals that he has!”

First place, Wang Haobin, 26 blood crystals!

Second place, Li Tianyu, 16 blood crystals!

Third place, Su Tianqian, 10 blood crystals!

Fourth place, Chen Botian, 9 blood crystals!

The 2 men exchanged glances and noticed how cheerful each other was.

As for Yu Tianrui’s name, it was still at the bottom of the Water Suspension Tablet and was dark. It was entirely different from the top 10 names on the tablet, hence nobody paid attention to it at all.

The Forest of Death was incredibly broad, and it had the Yique Mountain Range as its foundation. There were many spurs from the mountain range, and they looked like dark green dragons that lay prone in different directions. They spread several 10,000 kilometers away on both sides and contained countless secrets.

Inside the forest, Wang Haobin wore a red outfit. A scholar’s aura could be faintly seen on his good-looking face.

Nonetheless, his hair was slightly messy, and his eyes were bloodshot. It took a brief moment for the redness in his eyes to fade away.

An elder in luxurious clothes cupped his hands at Wang Haobin. His wrinkles were squeezed together as he expressed with a smile, “Young Master, with this mutated blood crystal as your foundation, you’ll surely finish first this time.”

The other elders agreed to him one after another and were delighted.

Wang Haobin’s red outfit fluttered in the air. As he stepped on a decayed leaf, he adopted a skill that was similar to passing without a trace. His aura was faint, and he looked rather arrogant and unruly. The man grabbed the air with his right hand as though he was plucking a flower, where he squeezed a leaf that released black vapor and sighed. “We mustn’t underestimate the heroes of the world. Li Tianyu has been doted on since young as he’s the only grandson of a Venerable One. He’s not considered excellent and can even be described as someone with great ambitions but little talent. Even so, he still has trump cards that can’t be guarded against!”

The spiritual power inside his dantian burst out, causing the leaf to burn.

An elder in extravagant clothes took a step forward and frowned as he spoke, “Young Master, how can you be compared to a good-for-nothing? If it wasn’t for his identity, he would’ve died many times already.”

Wang Haobin looked deeply at the elder and said in a deep voice, “One’s identity is also a part of one’s strength…”

“One’s luck as well!” He mumbled to himself after that.

Subsequently, he walked deeper into the dense forest.

※※※※

Deep inside the forest, Ou Yangming’s momentum dispersed and assimilated into the universe as he sensed even the slightest change in Heaven and Earth. All of a sudden, a sound was heard coming from the interspatial bag at his waist as he held a blood crystal in his hand.

The blood crystal was dark red, and a centipede’s pattern was imprinted on it. It was very obvious, which was clear that the object was unordinary.

Xue Xuanle looked with her beautiful eyes and asked softly, “Big Brother Yu, what’s so different about this mutated blood crystal? You’ve been holding it in your hand for a long time.”

Ou Yangming’s sleeve slipped down so that he could keep the blood crystal. He answered, “I have no idea, but I have a feeling that a mutated blood crystal will surely have unimaginable functions.”

Xue Boren had a grave look on his face as he stared at the humongous creatures in the distance.

Without warning, the roughly 150-meters-long giant python stuck out its tongue. Its charcoal-colored scales lit up, and the peculiar petal on the scales shone brightly while looking more bewitching as it brightened the Forest of Death significantly. Following that, the python opened its mouth and shook its thin yet sharp fangs. When it stuck out its tongue and sucked hard, the winds and clouds above the forest flowed in reverse.

The spiritual Qi inside the python’s dantian compressed quickly and boiled like boiling water.

As it gathered its Qi and breathed out, numerous flames were rapidly released from its mouth. They were like pear flowers in a storm as they zoomed toward the strange cow.

The queerest thing about this was the flames were not dim but pale and white instead. This could make one shudder with fear while chillness would flow down from the top of one’s skull to every corner in one’s body through one’s meridians.

On the other hand, the strange cow roared at the sky and released black vapor through its nostrils.

They transformed into a roughly 3-meters-wide storm to destroy the white flames.

Concurrently, the strange cow stomped its hind foot on the ground, causing the ground and mountains to shake. It turned into a dim light stream as it charged at the giant python, by which it unleashed its power as a top-grade ferocious beast comprehensively. Gravel, decayed leaves, and dried branches around the cow were stirred up into the sky and condensed by its spiritual Qi. Its enormous body arrived in front of the giant python in a split second, then it aimed for the python’s head as it kicked.

The power of its attack was earth-shattering!

As for the giant python, its body expanded without a limit, and the flower on its scales seemed to have spread out.

In particular, the bewitching flower on the giant python’s tail seemed to have come to life as countless spurs grew out. It flicked its body in the air and formed a perfect arc, then it slashed its body down at the strange cow’s head.

Nevertheless, the strange cow’s massive body was agile against logic as it turned its body and jumped away.

Consequently, the python’s tail that was covered in spurs simply whipped an ancient tree, which had the circumference of 10 humans holding their hands in a circle, into powder. Branches and leaves flew everywhere after that.

A dim light was suddenly released from the strange cow’s black eyes. The Forest of Death darkened as if every light inside the forest had been stripped. Afterward, the weird, hill-like horn on the cow’s head flickered. It accelerated out of the blue and reached an unimaginable speed, then it charged at the python’s vital part.

The giant python instantly cried in pain, and red light could be seen flickering in its eyes. Despite that, it reacted quickly by waving its tail, which could split a mountain, in the air to whip the strange cow’s chest. As a result, the spurs that were as sharp as blades smashed the cow’s chest such that blood kept flowing out. Accordingly, a disgusting smell also spread in the air. Having said that, the strange cow was still fearless, and it became madder instead. It darted at its opponent again, and a black and red light spread swiftly from the bottom of its horns to their tips.

Before long, the giant python was crashed into a small hill as though it was as light as a feather.

The universe rumbled, and a magnanimous airwave was stirred up alive with terrifying large rocks that flew out in all directions.

Xue Xuanle and Xue Boren looked at each other and noticed how shocked each other was.

The elder gulped and smiled bitterly at Ou Yangming. “Younger Brother Tianrui, judging from their mightiness and their powers alone, I’m afraid that even a top-grade human Spiritualist is inferior to them. We must be more careful.”

Ou Yangming’s pupils shrunk, but he remained calm and replied to the elder softly, “It’s fine—they’re just wild beasts without wisdom.”

By the tile the dust and sand dispersed, the ground was already painted red by blood. Even the dead Qi above the Forest of Death had very much been blown away, leaving a white halo in the sky.

The python and the strange cow separated again and confronted each other.

Even though the latter was bleeding non-stop, lights from its black and red eyes intersected while it pointed its hoof oddly at the sky. “Moo!”

In a flash, the illusory figure of a barbaric cow appeared behind the strange cow as if it traveled here from ancient times. They looked just the same.

An aura of alteration, distance, and wilderness spread in the air. Even the color of the sky changed at this moment.

2 giant holes could be seen on the giant python’s vital part as it was struck by the strange cow earlier. Blood kept flowing out like a fountain, and there was no way to stop this.

When the python roared, the spurs that connected its head and tail appeared. Its roughly 150-meters long body seemed to have become a sharp blade of spurs, then it spun and sucked all of the black vapor above the forest.

As for the strange cow and the illusory figure, they stepped forward at the same time and let out muffled roars before they charged ahead valiantly with strong killing intents.

The giant python rose and spun non-stop like a blade of spurs.

Ou Yangming stared at them closely. A dim light was released from his Illusion Formation Boards as he was ready to make a move at any time.

When the creatures clashed, the ground shook while a black light swept in all directions. Smoke and dust spiraled into the sky like a dragon.

The resulting effect covered a 3-kilometers range. If Ou Yangming had not casually set up a Defensive Formation, given Xue Xuanle’s cultivation base, she would have been turned into ashes long ago.

WIth the 2 beasts as the center, everything within 2 kilometers from them was destroyed, causing black smoke to rise.

Ou Yangming did not hesitate at all. He swung his palm in the air, then his Illusion Formation Boards spread out like innumerable pearls and enveloped the beasts.

As he and his companions walked in the wind, he released his mental power and remained alert at all times.

The ferocious beasts’ auras had declined, and they were simply laying on the ground inside the Illusion Formation. It was clear that the last clash had caused them to be depleted of spiritual Qis. Without further ado, Ou Yangming paced forward and retrieved a short knife from his sleeve. While a dim light flashed on the weapon, he retrieved the beasts’ blood crystals from the corners of their eyes. The young fellow was so familiar with the process that he was already holding the crystals in his hand in no time. They were bright red and did not contain impurities.

Ou Yangming glanced at the strange cow and recalled the untypical phenomenon that was displayed by it before this, thus he conveniently retrieved its eyeballs as well and kept them in his interspatial bag.

Xue Xuanle and Xue Boren were elated when they looked at the same time. Those were the blood crystals of top-grade vicious beasts, after all. A single one was enough to stir up a sensation in every Hunting Meet, but they had already possessed 3 of those so far. It was a miracle.
