Meanwhile, Lu Zhou, who was meditating on the Heavenly Writing scrolls in the eastern pavilion, received a notification. 2,000 merit points and 1,000 domain points were credited to him. However, he frowned slightly. This meant that his opponent was an Eight-and-a-half-leaf cultivator.
'Did Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai get into trouble again?'
…
Mingshi Yin took a few steps back.
Little Qiong Qi turned to face Shu Si as well and took a few steps back.
The man and dog retreated at the same time.
The sun was setting in the west. The shadows of the man and dog were drawn out.
"Doggy, bite it!"
Woof! Woof!
Qiong Qi barked.
The little puppy had grown into a big puppy. However, it seemed weak before the huge Shu Si.
Mingshi Yin continued retreating and stepped over the carcass.
Shu Si continued moving forward until it was in front of the red lotus cultivator.
It raised its claws and tore the carcass apart before devouring it.
"Blergh!"
"I can't f * cking take this! I'm leaving! "
Mingshi Yin pushed away from the ground and shot into the skies.
If he did not run now, when would he run?
Even an Eight-and-a-half-leaf cultivator could not do anything to a beast that he could not defeat even with his life on the line. Fleeing was undoubtedly the best choice.
Mingshi Yin flew into the skies for a short while before he looked back.
Qiong Qi bared its fangs and stared at Shu Si as it barked.
"Doggy, let's go!" Mingshi Yin urged.
Qiong Qi's fur stood on end. It was different from usual. Its fur was like energy needles and looked exceptionally terrifying. This was a far cry from its usual adorable puppy image.
Shu Si ignored Qiong Qi.
Instead, it continued to devour the red lotus cultivator's carcass.
For the huge Shu Si, a human's carcass was only a matter of one or two mouthfuls. It was quickly finished.
However, it did not seem to have its fill. Coupled with its injuries, it was in a bad mood.
Shu Si looked at Qiong Qi.
"No way!"
Creak!
Shu Si's shriek was clearly louder than Qiong Qi's. For a time, it drowned out the sound and spread into the surroundings. Dust and sand flew up, and the ground shook. Mingshi Yin felt a sharp pain in his eardrums. He hastily covered his ears and looked at Shu Si.
Shu Si was clearly heavily injured, but it could still make such a loud sound.
'Are beasts … really humans' natural enemies? '
He remembered what the middle-aged man said before he died. When humans reached the Nine-leaf stage, they would become the most delicious food for the beasts.
Where was Qiong Qi?
While he was deep in thought, Shu Si pounced on Qiong Qi.
When humans passed by the bushes, it was indeed difficult to find ants. However, when ants crawled out and tried to bite humans, humans might choose to trample them to death.
The law of the jungle dictates that the food chain be this way.
In Shu Si's eyes, Qiong Qi was an ant that could be trampled to death with a single stomp.
"Little ancestor, you're really a troublemaker." Mingshi Yin was about to dive down.
Little Qiong Qi was not afraid at all and rushed forward.
It bared its tiny fangs and pounced on Shu Si's wing at lightning speed. With a crunch, it bit down.
Shu Si didn't expect this little thing to be so fast. It screamed in pain and flapped its wings frantically. Qiong Qi was thrown out.
"My goodness … I've underestimated you." Mingshi Yin was shocked.
After little Qiong Qi landed on the ground, it rolled twice and got up again, its head lowered.
Woof woof woof.
Mingshi Yin shook his head and said, "It's better to tame it since it's so disobedient."
He no longer hesitated and dove down from the sky.
"Little puppy, get out of the way! You're no match for it. "Mingshi Yin dove in midair. With a buzz, his energy vibrated as he summoned his avatar.
The plants on the ground sprouted.
Primal Qi leaked out.
Mingshi Yin shot past Shu Si at lightning speed.
The Separation Hook in his hand flashed coldly.
Bam! Bam!
The round ended.
Mingshi Yin returned to the sky and looked down at Shu Si.
The heavily injured and wingless Shu Si could do nothing to Mingshi Yin who was in the sky. It could only roll on the ground as blood flowed from its wounds.
"So stubborn?" Mingshi Yin stared at Shu Si.
Since he had decided to kill it, he would make it quick. He couldn't give it a chance to recover.
Mingshi Yin dove again.
Energy blades wrapped around the Separation Hook and its scabbard as they cut at Shu Si in a frenzy.
It went back and forth for a full half an hour. Shu Si was almost disfigured by the Parting Hook … It lost too much blood and finally collapsed.
It could only exhale but not inhale.
Mingshi Yin landed and took a few deep breaths.
With his Eight-leaf cultivation base, it took him half an hour to defeat Shu Si. One could imagine the price the red lotus cultivator had paid.
"That was close." Mingshi Yin looked at the dying Shu Si and said with a sigh, "Qiong Qi … Go and bite it. I'll watch."
Woof! Woof!
Qiong Qi barked a few times at Shu Si in a hostile manner and really charged forward.
Mingshi Yin. "…"
'You didn't listen to me when you should, but you listened when you shouldn't.'
'This pup is hopeless.'
Qiong Qi was born to be an expert in battle. It was one of the best beasts. It seemed to be skilled in finding the weaknesses of beasts. It pounced and bit Shu Si's heart.
At this moment, it was no longer a fierce little puppy. Instead, it was a wild wolf with explosive strength.
Crunch!
Qiong Qi bit out a red crystal-like ball of light and held it in its mouth.
However, it did not swallow it. After retrieving the red crystal, Shu Si completely lost its breath.
With the red crystal in its mouth, Qiong Qi ran to Mingshi Yin's side. It raised its head and wagged its tail.
"This is …" Mingshi Yin took the red crystal. "Is this Shu Si's heart?"
He did not expect this colossal beast's heart to be only the size of a fist. It looked like a large red luminous pearl.
Mingshi Yin did not know much about beasts. He did not know why they had such a heart. However, when he recalled that the clams in the sea could produce gems, he understood.
…
"Ding! Killed Shu Si. Reward: 3,000 merit points."
Lu Zhou opened his eyes again.
A beast with 3,000 merit points was equivalent to the manman's strength. It would be difficult to defeat an Eight-leaf cultivator. 'Did Yu Shangrong and Yu Zhenghai really reach the Nine-leaf stage?'
This series of large amounts of merit point rewards made him suspect something.
Lu Zhou left the eastern pavilion and went to the southern pavilion.
When he saw Si Wuya studying something in the room, he coughed softly.
Si Wuya was startled. He thought it was someone else. He was about to reprimand Lu Zhou when he saw his master. He hastily bowed. "Master, you were looking for me?"
"How's the progress with the Sky Shuttle?" Lu Zhou asked.
"Master, I can only think of a way to repair the Sky Shuttle. It's not practical to build it on my own. Moreover, my cultivation base …" Si Wuya felt embarrassed when he said this. Indeed, it was embarrassing to be a Seven-leaf cultivator in the Evil Sky Pavilion. Moreover, he was not recultivating.
"It's fine." Lu Zhou knew he could not force his way out of this.
"Master, I have two things to report."
"Let's hear it."
"The Penglai Sect returned to Penglai Island yesterday. Jiang Aijian was originally in Liang Province. He passed by the Evil Sky Pavilion yesterday and said he wanted to return the Demon Sword to its owner." Si Wuya brought out the Demon Sword that was as tall as a person and placed it before him. "The Demon Sword is restless. Jiang Aijian couldn't control it and had no choice but to part with it."
Lu Zhou looked at the Demon Sword and said, "This comes from the Mausoleum of Swords. It's the Demon Sword guarded by the northern capital's sword path genius, Gong Yuandu. Jiang Aijian loves his sword as much as his life. Why would he part with it? "
It was harder to make Jiang Aijian hand over the sword than to grow eggs on a tree. Was there something strange about the sword?
"Perhaps, there's something strange about the Demon Sword," Si Wuya said.
"The second matter," Lu Zhou said.
"Zhu Tianyuan returned to the Ancient Saint Cult two days ago. He sent a letter yesterday saying that he'll visit the Evil Sky Pavilion in two days," Si Wuya said.
Lu Zhou stroked his beard and nodded. "The Ancient Saint Cult has no more internal troubles. He's just reluctant to part with his son. Let him be."
Si Wuya smiled and said nothing.
Lu Zhou glanced at the Demon Sword and said, "Send it to my room."
"Yes, master."
