The Bone Eating tribe that countless barbarians treated as a land of death seemed no different from any other stronghold in nature. It did not give off an evil, bloody aura. The bamboo buildings constructed from verdant bamboo instead gave off quite the ambiance, which made Li Qingshan think of Cloudwisp island.
However, the people who emerged from the bamboo buildings were Bone Eating shamans that seemed inhuman. There were men and women, large and small, but they were all vicious. Bone Eating shamans began eating humans from a young age to increase their strength. The children who could not practise shaman arts through cannibalism would become food for other shamans.
There were many children like that, so although there was basically no pressure to survive, the Bone Eating tribe had never been particularly large. They were not like regular shaman tribes, which still developed with shamans as the core and mortals as the foundation.
The jungle behind them rustled, and several dozen shamans emerged, surrounding the two people on the pack animal.
"Chrysanthemum Fragilis, how dare you come to my place? Do you really think I'm afraid of eating you just because you have the White Lotus Sect?"
The Bone Eating chieftain stared at Chrysanthemum Fragilis on the pack animal in hatred, extending his long, scarlet tongue and licking his claws. He could still clearly remember the losses he suffered in the Fragrant Flower market.
Chrysanthemum Fragilis's heart trembled slightly. She subconsciously tightened her embrace of Li Qingshan and sneered. "I've come today to claim your lives!"
The Bone Eating chieftain laughed madly, and the Bone Eating shamans all snickered strangely too. Only the Bone Eating shaman priest who arrived afterwards frowned firmly, his gaze landing on Li Qingshan.
"Oi, so you're their leader!"
Li Qingshan broke free from Chrysanthemum Fragilis's embrace and stood on the pack animal's head, pointing at the Bone Eating chieftain and yelling.
The Bone Eating chieftain said, "How bold of you, kid, to actually speak to me like that. Your flesh sure seems very tender. I'll make it perfect for eating you raw and drinking later!"
Li Qingshan smiled. "You've chased me for so long, yet you don't even know who I am?"
"I'm chasing you?" The Bone Eating chieftain was filled with doubt.
"Chief, he's that infant!" The Bone Eating shaman priest arrived beside the Bone Eating chieftain with his cane and said with a deep, hoarse voice.
"It's you!" The Bone Eating chieftain was mildly taken aback, and his laughter became even louder. "Alright, thank you for your protection, ancestor. I've been looking for you for so long, yet you've delivered yourself to me today. I didn't think there'd be something so good in the world! Do you know that the Bone Eating tribe lost several dozen clansmen because of you? " Their voices were filled with bone-deep hatred, as if Li Qingshan had committed a grave mistake by not obediently giving himself to them.
Li Qingshan sneered and shook his head. "No, no, no. Not forty!" He paused for a moment. "All of them!"
"Capture him!" The Bone Eating chieftain roared furiously.
Several hundred Bone Eating shamans surged over together, letting out furious roars that sounded like the wails of ghosts and the howls of wolves. It was quite a harrowing disturbance.
Chrysanthemum Fragilis paled. Li Qingshan leapt up gently, flying over the Bone Eating shamans and landing on a bamboo building. He turned around and pointed a finger, just happening to touch the head of a charging shaman. The power of tremors erupted.
With a crack, the shaman's spine snapped, and he fell powerlessly. Li Qingshan could already wield the power of tremors with ease. Originally, he could have shattered his heart. The reason why he spared his life was only because he had a use for him.
Over a dozen claws took advantage of this opportunity to reach towards him. The vicious smile he had just revealed stiffened.
With a series of cracks, seven or eight of them fell off the bamboo building together. None of them actually managed to see what kind of attack Li Qingshan had used to attack them.
Li Qingshan leapt off the bamboo building and landed in the densest area of the Bone Eating shamans. He shuttled around and unleashed the power of tremors at will. As long as he touched the bodies of the Bone Eating shamans gently, their bones would shatter. In the blink of an eye, a swathe of the Bone Eating shamans collapsed. After reaching a certain level of skill, it could completely become overwhelming power.
"Be careful! He has demonic arts! Don't touch him!"
But if they did not touch him, how were they supposed to capture him? The Bone Eating shamans all retreated. Although they possessed a murderous nature that did not fear death, they had no idea what to do when faced with an opponent like that.
"He really is strong enough!"
Chrysanthemum Fragilis was overjoyed. The Bone Eating shamans who originally surrounded her eagerly all had their attention drawn away by him. How could she let go of an opportunity like this? With a bellow, she swung her palm and powered the Fragrant Flower gu. A fragrant breeze drifted through the air.
The pack animal beneath him directly collapsed to the ground, while the shamans nearby tottered on the verge of collapse too.
The Bone Eating shaman priest's cane paused, and the shrivelled head at the top opened its empty eye sockets. Two wisps of black smoke twisted together, turning into the shape of a two-headed snake that bit towards Chrysanthemum Fragilis.
Chrysanthemum Fragilis slapped the snake's head away with a palm strike. She refused to continue fighting, leaping backwards.
"Kill him! Kill him! Don't hold back! "
The Bone Eating chieftain bellowed out and charged towards Li Qingshan at the very front. His colossal body was like a speeding chariot. He threw a punch, and the wind whistled like a cannonball had been fired.
Li Qingshan stood where he was without moving at all. The wind from the punch surged into his face, and his scarlet hair ruffled. He turned to his side with a smile and threw a punch.
"Die!"
The Bone Eating chieftain ravished with joy. Their sizes differed by more than ten times, and the fist was even larger than his head. The punch was enough to crush him to a pulp.
Bang!
The two fists collided. Li Qingshan's chubby little fist sank deeply into the Bone Eating chieftain's huge, black, hairy hand.
Li Qingshan's tiny body did not sway at all. Instead, the colossal Bone Eating chieftain was sent flying. His arm was flung away, becoming as limp as a noodle. Even his entire right shoulder had caved in, knocking over a group of Bone Eating shamans.
Li Qingshan snickered. "You foolish barbarian. You're looking to die if you want to compete with me in strength!"
He seemed tiny, but if he reverted to his original form, he would be two or three meters tall at the very least. Their proportions were completely reversed.
Unfortunately, the Bone Eating chieftain's body was much tougher than regular Bone Eating shamans, so he failed to snap his spine in a single strike.
Li Qingshan was just about to follow up with another attack when he suddenly stopped and looked back. The two-headed snake condensed from black smoke had silently slithered over from behind, suddenly opening its mouth and biting towards him.
"Tiger Demon's Breath!"
A gust of wind from Li Qingshan's breath tore the two-headed snake to pieces. It followed the black smoke and directly pierced the Bone Eating shaman priest who had launched a sneak attack.
"Chief, go to the altar and ask for the power of the ancestors!" The Bone Eating shaman priest coughed up blood and bellowed, "This is a disaster that will wipe out the entire tribe!"
"Stop him!"
The Bone Eating chieftain ordered loudly. Clutching his crippled arm, he rushed towards the stronghold. He was filled with regret and resentment. His losses in the Fragrant Flower market had already made him feel extremely pained, but he never thought he would actually provoke something so terrifying. However, as long as he asked for the power of the ancestors, he would definitely be able to kill him, devour his flesh and blood, and undergo the heavenly tribulation.
The Bone Eating shamans charged over fearlessly, wanting to use their lives to buy time for the Bone Eating chieftain.
Li Qingshan stomped his right foot and leapt up. The shamans leapt up and swung their claws with him, but they missed. They all raised their heads and extended their arms, waiting for him to fall.
"Be careful!" Chrysanthemum Fragilis cried out. Her voice was filled with concern. If it were not for the fact that she hid in the distance on a tree, ready to retreat at any time, perhaps Li Qingshan would feel a little grateful!
When he looked down, he saw many ferocious faces and mouths full of fangs!
Li Qingshan smiled. A pair of glorious wings suddenly unfurled on his back, and he grew several meters taller again. His scarlet eyes locked onto the Bone Eating chieftain's back, leaving behind a scarlet streak of light as he swooped down like an eagle swooping down to a rabbit.
He did not have the time to see what trump cards these barbarians had, or perhaps they were putting on an act and looking down on others just because he was strong enough. Even a lion would use its full strength to catch a rabbit. He only had a single objective here — annihilate the entire tribe.
And, the simpler and easier it was, the better!
A gust of wind swept over from behind, and the Bone Eating chieftain suddenly looked back. Before he could even respond, Li Qingshan had planted a foot on his back.
With a series of cracks, his spine broke inch by inch, and he collapsed on the ground, completely immobilised. He let out a howl of despair!
Both the chieftain and the shaman priest had been defeated, so the morale of the Bone Eating shamans plummeted. Li Qingshan did not stop at all, using the force of the stomp to fly back. With the assistance of his wings, he moved even faster, leaving behind a trail of fire. Wherever he passed by, the shamans all collapsed.
"A 'yue, I'll lend you a hand!"
Chrysanthemum Fragilis called out and leapt down from the tree, powering the Fragrant Flower gu as hard as she could. A fragrant wind drifted through the air, which was extremely effective against regular Bone Eating shamans. Li Qingshan specially targeted the stronger shamans, and they all fell in a single strike.
A while later, not a single Bone Eating shaman remained standing. None of them managed to escape.
Chrysanthemum Fragilis's face flushed with excitement, along with a sense of disbelief. The powerful Bone Eating tribe was finished just like that. It was unimaginably easy. She raised her hand, about to unleash a massacre.
"Stop!" Li Qingshan called out.
"Why?"
"I told you, I have a gift for you!"
Under Chrysanthemum Fragilis's surprised gaze, Li Qingshan unfurled his wings and walked past the Bone Eating shamans one by one. Blood-red flames flew out of their bodies, and they shriveled up like they had been sucked dry.
The Bone Eating chieftain was utterly furious. "Stop! If you want to kill, kill me! Spare my clansmen!"
Li Qingshan snickered. "I couldn't tell, but you're quite loyal. Don't worry, none of you can escape."
The Bone Eating shaman priest said, "Spare my life, and I'm willing to be your servant. I'll tell you where the wealth of the Bone Eating tribe is hidden. I can even help you obtain the power of your ancestors."
The Bone Eating chieftain roared, "You traitor!" The Bone Eating shamans roared too, "Traitor!"
"You sure are a clever person!" Li Qingshan arrived before the Bone Eating shaman priest and picked up his cane, twirling it around in his hand. "Though, I already have a servant, so forget about you."
An extremely weak, bright-red flame flew out. A while later, all of the Bone Eating shamans had their life force drained away, reduced to a pile of withered corpses.
Li Qingshan held a flame of life that was around the size of his head in his right hand. He smiled at Chrysanthemum Fragilis and said, "Come, Man 'er, have a taste of the feast I've made for you!" Although they had been getting along quite well in the past few days, this was called being prepared. He did not want someone to secretly leak this matter to the White Lotus Sect.
"I don't want to!" Chrysanthemum Fragilis recalled the monster the merchant had turned into and retreated in fright.
Li Qingshan smiled. "You have to be an obedient daughter!"
