The scene was rather silent.
The gazes of the many Ferals all landed on Jiang He. Even Wang Hou and Pei Donglai were gaping at Jiang He.
Wang Hou had already guessed that Jiang He was the one who killed the Black King Drake when the pangolin sketched Jiang He's image with its spirit … but now that Jiang He had admitted it himself, it was still shocking.
"Impossible!"
One of the Ferals bellowed in rage. "How could a mere rank-eight kill the Black King Drake?"
"It must be the work of a human elite!"
Jiang He raised a brow in slight displeasure. Who were they belittling?
"I really did kill the Black Wyrm King. Needless to say, even if it's at the initial-stage of the King Realm, the Black Wyrm King's strength is still extremely formidable. I fought desperately and was bathed in blood, and I fought the Black Wyrm King for over 10 minutes before I killed it."
Jiang He felt a lingering fear at that, and breathed a long sigh. "I almost couldn't make it back!"
Those words came from the bottom of his heart, and there was no falsehood in them at all!
If the Black King Drake was twice as powerful, he would definitely be the one dead.
"You!"
The Feral King was exasperated. It was a gigantic black eagle that circled the skies with a wingspan of over a hundred meters, stirring up a cyclone with every flap of its wings.
Its eyes were dark golden, just as its claws were a faint golden hue. There was also a circle of golden feathers over its head, as if it was wearing a golden crown.
It shrieked sharply and abruptly opened its beak, and a golden light shot down from the skies.
Pei Donglai drew his blade and was about to attack, but Wang Hou shook his head.
Jiang He's face dropped then.
He felt a great sense of danger from that golden light.
In an instant, his Dark Golden Combat Suit materialized over his body.
Raging True Qi surged over his body, and the silhouette of nine great suns materialized behind him, with the silhouette of a dragon soaring and a divine elephant trumpeting. Golden light shone over his body, and a veil of Nature Qi shielded him.
Boom-crack!
Jiang He's blade slashed out against that golden light.
Ninefold Thunderblade, Third Fold!
Buffed by thunder will, the power of the third fold of the Ninefold Thunderblade greatly increased, and a thirty-meter-long thunder slash tore through the air, cutting down upon the golden light.
Crack.
The Thunder Saber Qi shattered immediately. The golden light trembled, and its speed decreased slightly as it continued to fall.
However, after the first energy saber shattered, a second energy saber immediately fell, followed by a third, a fourth, a fifth …
Jiang He swung his blade nine times in a row and finally shattered the golden light. He spat out a mouthful of blood, but the recoil from the clash between the air blades and the golden light had injured him …
Of course.
The injury was not serious.
After vomiting blood, he felt much better.
He looked up at the huge black eagle in the sky, and a cold light flashed in his eyes.
I'll remember you!
Among these Beast Kings, the giant eagle was the strongest. Its aura was on par with the Green Serpent King.
Failing its attack, its dark golden eyes flashed with shock as it said in a low voice, "Wang Hou, I'll let bygones be bygones about the Black King Serpent, but you killed the Blue King Serpent. I will definitely report this to the emperor of my race!"
Wang Hou lifted his head and exhaled like thunder. "You've broken the rules by attacking a Rank-8 human. Get lost, or I'll kill you too!"
Shua!
The black eagle turned and left without a word.
It flapped its wings and flew at twice the speed of sound, disappearing in a few flashes.
The other Feral Kings turned and flew as well.
In the mountain forest, Jiang He stared at the many Feral Kings flying away and sighed, "They're so fast …"
Wang Hou turned to look at Jiang He and smiled. "Flying Ferals are adept at speed in the first place, and the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle could reach three times the speed of sound. It's an innate gift, and there's no need to be envious."
Jiang He pursed his lips.
I'm not envious.
I'm just a little worried …
What if I can't catch up to that wretch when I want to kill it?
Still, the name of the eagle was quite imposing — it was called the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle or something.
Pei Donglai walked up to them as well, and the two peak human elites studied Jiang He from head to toe with curiosity in their eyes.
Jiang He was a little embarrassed by their stares, and at a loss for words, he said, "Minister Wang, General Pei … is there a flower on my face?"
"You brat."
Wang Hou laughed out loud. "Interesting, interesting. A rank-eight pinnacle actually has such profound cultivation, and that blade technique of yours is frightening. If I'm not mistaken, you've grasped the Boundary of Wills, haven't you?"
"At least thirty percent of the Boundary of Thunder Wills."
He sighed. "Rank-eight pinnacle, slaying the Black King Drake and nullifying the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle's strike … your combat ability has reached the threshold of divine-tier."
"Monster!"
Pei Donglai only said two words.
"You are."
Wang Hou then said, "Jiang He, if my hunch is right, you must have inherited the legacy left behind by an elite of the Old Martial Era, yes? Now that the Age of Chaos has begun, there might be even more brutal struggles in the future. Cultivate well and reach divine-tier as soon as possible … divine-tier is the true beginning of cultivation. "
Beside them, the corner of Pei Donglai's mouth twitched …
Divine-tier is the true beginning of cultivation?
There was no telling how many people would die of anger if word of that got out …
Even so, Jiang He nodded in agreement.
After some small talk.
Pei Donglai, who had always been taciturn finally could not hold back and asked curiously, "Jiang He, I know about the Black King Drake as well. It was already very powerful even before reaching King tier, possessing boundless strength and incredible defense, not to mention that it could control water and was a venomous drake. How did you actually kill it?"
"Sigh!"
Jiang He breathed a long sigh and said helplessly, "Actually, it was really an accident. I really didn't know that the Black King Drake had reached King tier, or I wouldn't have dared to kill it even if I had two more guts."
Faced with the curious gazes of the two peak elites, Jiang He had no choice but to tell them what happened last night.
"I've looked it up online before, and it's said that the Black King Drake is a top rank-nine Feral and very frightening. Coincidentally, I came to Jiangnan, and since I was bored yesterday afternoon, I went to Chongming Island …"
"You know what happened after that."
"I killed my way to Chongming Island, fought a bloody battle and killed the Black King Drake."
Feeling that the description was too brief, Jiang He paused and added, "Of course, I was injured badly too."
Pei Donglai was a little speechless.
I'm asking you how you killed the Black King Drake, and you're telling me it was a bloody battle … are you telling me to fill in the blanks myself?
And you were injured?
How the hell are you injured?
Why can't I tell?
Wang Hou did a double take as well, and only said leisurely after a while, "Bored, huh …"
He went to Chongming Island because he was bored … and killed the Black King Drake? There was no telling if the Black King Drake would come back to life in anger if it could hear that.
After some thought, Wang Hou said, "Jiang He, don't tell anyone that you killed the Black King Drake for now. Moreover, I've asked for several Secret Realms from the five Holy Grounds, and they would open soon. I'll have someone inform you when the time comes."
Jiang He thought of something at the mention of the Secret Realms, and asked, "Minister Wang, did Cheng Dongfeng tell me about that before? Didn't he say that I should go to the Tantra Sect's Secret Realm?"
"Well … can I go to the Secret Realms of other Holy Grounds?"
After all, the Dragon-Elephant Prajna was a secret technique of the Tantra Sect, and Jiang He was afraid that it would cause trouble.
"Oh?"
Wang Hou appeared surprised, but nodded and said, "Of the five Holy Grounds, the Tantra Sect is the closest to the Western Xia Province, but it's not a problem if you want to go to the other Holy Grounds. I'll arrange it for you."
Beside him, Pei Donglai said, "Minister Wang, about the Secret Realms …"
"Don't worry, the military wouldn't have a shortage of slots."
Only then did Pei Donglai offer a fist-palm salute and said, "Minister Wang, I'm busy with military affairs. Farewell."
With that, he took to the air and left.
"I'm busy as well, so I'll be on my way." Wang Hou was about to leave as well, when he heard Jiang He call out, "Hold on … Minister Wang, could you tell me more about the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle?"
"Why would you want to know about that?"
Wang Hou smiled at first, but soon glared and said, "Jiang He, the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle is a Feral King born at the beginning of the Revival of Qi. It's not something the Black King Drake could compare to, so don't you dare mess around!"
Jiang He smiled foolishly and said, "I'm just trying to understand the situation, Minister Wang."
"And I've already explained … my killing of the Black King Drake was a misunderstanding."
"I know very well what I'm capable of, and I definitely wouldn't bother the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle now."
Yes.
After all …
The Golden-Crowned Black Eagle was really powerful and flew quickly. Jiang He felt that he would not attack it without confidence that he could kill it, even if it attacked him and left him coughing blood …
That would not be a problem.
As the saying goes, endure for a while and you'll see the light of day. At most, he would let the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle live for a while, or he would startle it if he attacked it rashly. How was he supposed to kill it if it really ran away and hid itself?
"The Golden-Crowned Black Eagle is the fifth-ranked Feral King amongst all flying Ferals, and it usually resides at Mount Tian of the Western Frontier …"
"Eh?"
Jiang He blinked and said, "Mount Tian of the Western Frontier? If I remember correctly, the Feral King there is called the Violet-Crowned Golden Eagle. "
"That's the Feral King of Mount Kunlun!"
Wang Hou then told Jiang He about the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle's ability, ability, and flying speed in detail, saying, "You're barely divine-tier with your current ability, and it's impossible for you to fight the Golden-Crowned Black Eagle. Remember, focus on cultivation and don't cause trouble."
Jiang He nodded and smiled. "Well, Minister Wang, I'll listen to your arrangements regarding the Secret Realm slots … I'll go to the Tantra Sect … by the way …"
Calling out to Wang Hou, who was about to leave again, Jiang He asked a little embarrassedly, "Minister Wang, could I have some of the Blue King Drake's meat?"
After all, it was Feral King meat.
Leaving aside the taste, wouldn't it count as saving up in advance if his farm needed Feral King meat the next time it leveled up?
Moments later.
Holding the ten-meter-long Blue King Drake's severed tail, Jiang He yelled happily at the skies, "Take care, Minister Wang … slow down and stay safe!"
Up in the skies.
Wang Hou almost fell from the skies.
He fell from the skies.
What the hell.
I'm flying, not driving a car … what do you mean by slow down?
… …
