Chapter 860

Hai Miluo heaved a sigh of relief. He really didn't want to risk his life against a level 18 mutated rune beast, especially one that could fly and possessed lightning. This thing was much more troublesome to deal with than a level 20 mutated rune beast on the ground.

Guo Shier said, "Let's retreat a bit." He brought Falconer, Luo Zhan, and Juehu Miluo to retreat together. With his strength, he could tangle with a level 18 mutated Thunderhawk for a while, but Falconer and the others couldn't. It was almost impossible for them to block an attack from the Thunderhawk. Therefore, they had to retreat a bit to be safe.

Li Ran teleported near the Thunderhawk. He actually didn't have any experience killing a level 18 mutated rune beast. It wasn't that he didn't want to, but he had never encountered such a high level mutated rune beast. Therefore, he was very careful.

Li Ran took out his altar and sat on top of it. He also took out his sacrificial treasure. It was a three-tiered sacrificial treasure. Countless runes hung down from the crown and shrouded the entire altar in an instant. The jewels and runes fluttered in the air. From afar, it looked incomparably resplendent.

The Thunderhawk discovered Li Ran and immediately let out an angry cry.

Chirp!

A bolt of lightning shot out from its beak. As soon as it left its mouth, it turned into a bucket-thick bolt of silver lightning that ruthlessly struck towards Li Ran.

Guo Shier saw a dazzling light piercing towards Li Ran from afar. He couldn't help but shout, "Fuck, dodge …"

Sparks flew as silver lightning arcs immediately revolved around Li Ran's altar. This kind of thunderbolt was so fast that Li Ran couldn't dodge it. He could only use the altar to forcefully block it.

Li Ran couldn't help but be startled as he thought, "So fast!" Then he relaxed. His sacrificial treasure canopy was enough to block this lightning bolt. After all, it was an existence that surpassed the nine-tiered altar. It wouldn't be a problem to deal with this kind of attack.

The jewels fluttered as Li Ran continuously teleported to avoid the Thunderhawk's attack. He wanted to know how powerful the Thunderhawk was. He also condensed some rune spears and threw them out to test the Thunderhawk's defense.

Gradually, Li Ran calmed down. A level 18 mutated rune beast couldn't threaten him. He was too cautious at the start since it was his first time killing such a high level mutated rune beast.

Hai Miluo was guarding on the other side while Feng Miluo was beside him. The two of them stared intently at the battle between Li Ran and the Thunderhawk. After a while, Hai Miluo sighed, "Senior has been probing. I can barely deal with this big thunderhawk, but it's very difficult to kill it … it's too strong."

"With Senior's," Feng Feng Miluo said, "Feng Miluo said," It isn't hard to kill with. "

Hai Miluo nodded and said, "That's right, the Great Thunder Eagle probably doesn't know how powerful senior is. A beast will always be a beast, it can't possibly understand the power of a Profession that surpasses the 9th Altar."

The Patriarchs who were watching the battle from afar shuddered in fear. Li Ran had yet to truly attack, but the battle had already turned the sky and earth upside down. Every time the lightning bolts missed, they would land on the ground, creating huge craters. Countless clouds of dust rose up, but they were quickly blown away by the Great Thunderhawk's wings.

The sharp cry of an eagle resounded through the clouds, but Li Ran continued to move back and forth unhurriedly. Guo Shier gradually understood Li Ran's strategy. He wanted to make the Thunderhawk lose its sharpness. Once it was tired, it would be time for Li Ran to make his move.

Guo Shier enviously looked at Li Ran and said, "This Thunderhawk … even its feathers are a treasure. A level 18 mutated rune beast …"

A Handsome Old Man stared at the Thunderhawk and said in a low voice, "Shier, with your friendship with Li Ran, it shouldn't be a problem for you to ask for a bit of the Thunderhawk's blood, right?"

Guo Shier shook his head, "I can't ask for it. Big Brother Li Ran will treat this kind of high level mutated rune beast as a treasure."

A Handsome Old Man didn't give up, "Can't I ask for a bit less? I think he is very generous …" He kept twirling his fingers, looking like he was about to drool.

Guo Shier said, "Wait for a time when there is no one around. It's not good to ask for it in front of so many people." He knew that if he succeeded, the other ancestors wouldn't be able to resist asking for it. That would put Li Ran in a difficult position.

A Handsome Old Man said with a beaming smile, "Yes, I'll wait for you to ask for it. Hehe, the blood of a level 18 mutated rune beast …" As for asking for a spirit beast, he didn't even consider it. He wouldn't even think about something that was impossible to succeed.

Li Ran had already begun his counterattack, condensing rune spear after rune spear. With his strength, the rune spear he condensed was even more powerful than a sacrificial treasure. The Thunderhawk kept tumbling in the air, its mournful cries shaking people's hearts.

As the battle intensified, the flesh and blood of the Thunderhawk flew everywhere. It could be seen that Li Ran was fighting to his heart's content and wasn't in a hurry to kill the Thunderhawk. He needed to gain some battle experience. After all, high level mutated rune beasts weren't that easy to find.

The flesh and blood that flew into the air were all collected by the hanging jade necklace. Countless illusory runes danced along with the jade necklace, quickly wrapping up the scattered flesh and blood and storing it into the altar. It was truly not a waste at all.

Some of the ancestors originally wanted to take advantage of the situation, but after seeing Li Ran's meticulousness, they all gave up and drove their altars back a certain distance. Everyone knew that if the Thunderhawk were to flee in their direction, it would be very troublesome.

After a while, Li Ran no longer pestered them. A huge illusory palm appeared and instantly condensed into a solid palm. It flickered with golden light and fiercely slammed down on the Thunderhawk's wing. A loud boom accompanied the Thunderhawk's mournful cry. This strike had sent the Thunderhawk crashing to the ground.

Guo Shier couldn't help but shrink his neck. That slap made his scalp go numb.

The Thunderhawk crashed to the ground with half of its body sunk into the ground. It struggled and screeched in an attempt to stand up and fly back into the air. However, Li Ran didn't give it the chance. With a wave of his hand, a square-shaped object came crashing down. It was a sacrificial treasure, a seal shaped sacrificial treasure. Only someone from Earth would be able to refine such a sacrificial treasure.

The Thunderhawk's body surged with layers of lightning as it floated up. In just a breath's time, seven or eight layers of dazzling lightning arcs wrapped around the Thunderhawk. The sacrificial seal let out a thunderous roar as it smashed into the first layer of lightning.

It shattered upon contact, transforming into countless arcs of lightning that shot out in all directions.

The onlooking ancestors hurriedly teleported away. A few of them were unfortunate enough to be struck by an arc of lightning, causing them to tremble on the altar.

The sacrificial seal continued to press down, causing the layers of lightning to collapse one after another. However, the Thunderhawk had won a bit of buffer time.

The Thunderhawk struggled to pull its head out of the soil and saw the descending sacrificial seal. It screeched in fright and spat out a ball of lightning from its beak. A ball of lightning flashing with a dazzling brilliance collided with the talisman. The Thunderhawk crawled forward with all its might, using its powerful legs to push its body forward. However, its body was too big and it simply couldn't dodge in time.

The ball of lightning was the Thunderhawk's life-saving trump card. It contained a large amount of soul force and ruthlessly smashed into the sacrificial seal.

A violent airflow suddenly spread out, followed by an earth-shattering explosion. The distant ancestors, including those on the five-layered altars, all lost control of their minds and fell from the sky. Guo Shier saw that the situation wasn't good. He first released Gusirius's tentacles to hold back the altars of Falconer, Luo Zhan, and Juehu Miluo. A Handsome Old Man also pointed and released the sacrificial umbrella pagoda.

The violent airflow formed a circle and swept outwards. Even though Guo Shier was on the altar and was protected by the sacrificial pagoda, he still felt the fierce impact.

The ball of lightning forcefully blew the sacrificial seal away. Li Ran praised: "Good! That's more like it … Hehe, again! Smash! "

The sacrificial seal spun around and suddenly disappeared. Following a whistling sound, the sacrificial seal turned into a small mountain and crashed down from the sky.

The Great Thunderhawk let out a frightened shriek. It suddenly flipped its huge body over, revealing its silver belly. Its two eagle legs fiercely kicked the air, and its thick talons flickered with countless dazzling electric arcs.

Bang! Bang!

With two loud sounds, the sacrificial seal was once again bounced back into the sky. Li Ran praised: "Good beast! So smart! Smash! "He didn't use any other methods, just one word, smash! He wanted to use the sacrificial seal to smash the Thunderhawk to death.

The ancestors were dazzled and secretly exclaimed in their hearts. This person was simply too terrifying. That was a level 18 mutated rune beast, and a flying type at that. It had the natural ability of lightning and was absolutely invincible among the mutated rune beasts of the same level. But it was beaten by Li Ran without a chance to retaliate.

Falconer asked softly: "Shier, who do you think is stronger, him or Zhen Jie?"

Guo Shi 'er thought about it carefully and said, "I think Sister Zhen seems to be more powerful."

Luo Zhan nodded: "Yes, I don't know who can withstand that Red Pagoda … That is a true expert."

Juehu Miluo was confused: "Zhen Jie? Who is Zhen Jie? What Red Pagoda? "He didn't understand what Guo Shier and the others were talking about.

Falconer laughed: "She is also an expert, an expert like Senior Li Ran."

Juehu Miluo's jaw dropped. One Li Ran was already so shocking, he didn't expect there to be another professional like him. From their discussion, it seemed that Zhen Jie was even stronger than Li Ran? How could this be!

Li Ran continuously used the talisman to smash it. The big thunderhawk let out a deafening cry. It tried to stand up several times, but it was smashed down by the talisman that had turned into a small mountain. Guo Shier realized that Li Ran had a good grasp of the rhythm of the battle. He was neither fast nor slow, one move after another. Soon, the big thunderhawk was on its last breath, and its cry also became weaker.

Li Ran waved his hand, and the talisman flew up and turned into a ray of light that fell into his hand. He patted the top of the altar, and the jade necklace on the canopy immediately dropped down and extended to the struggling big thunderhawk, directly extracting the soul of the big thunderhawk. The best time to extract the soul of a mutated rune beast was the moment before its death. Once it died, the quality of the soul would rapidly decline as time passed. A true expert had a good grasp of the time to extract the soul.

A Handsome Old Man praised: "This is a good opportunity!"

Li Ran had countless methods to extract the soul. This time, he used the jade necklace. It was the most complicated but also the safest method. It could completely preserve the big thunderhawk's soul. As the soul left the body, the big thunderhawk's body lost its mobility, and its cry gradually disappeared.

Countless incantations were shot out, falling on the soul like a storm. As the runes flickered, the soul was quickly compressed. Li Ran shouted: "Come out!"

The big thunderhawk's soul let out a silent cry, and suddenly separated from the body. It opened its beak and soared into the sky. Every old ancestor present seemed to have heard the eagle's cry.

Li Ran shouted again: "Condense!"

Tens of thousands of incantations were shot out, and the soul was gradually compressed into a soul orb. This soul orb was different from the others. There were countless small arcs of lightning on it, and it was the size of an adult's fist. With a flash of lightning, the soul orb fell into Li Ran's hand, and he couldn't help but reveal a happy expression.

Li Ran put away the altar and said with a smile: "I've made everyone tired. I will only take a part of the big thunderhawk's blood, claws, beak, and one of its hearts. As for the rest … you can divide it among yourselves."

The old ancestors were overjoyed, and they couldn't help but burst into an uproar. Hai Miluo shouted: "Don't panic! Quickly thank the senior! "

Li Ran suddenly raised his head and looked into the distance: "Someone is coming! Be careful! "
