The dense feather attacks continued.
Xia Ji's injured left arm had a huge impact on her. Her movements were no longer as clean and efficient as before.
The excruciating pain from her shoulder was tormenting her constantly. The severe loss of blood had caused her consciousness to blur.
Screech!
The Sky-Ripping Eagle screeched again. It looked like it was about to unleash an even more powerful attack. Obviously, it was very familiar with the human martial art practitioners' saying, "Strike while you're down."
With that, it charged towards Xia Ji with its sharp claws extended once again. It could be seen that it was quite confident in its claws.
Otherwise, it would not have given up on this incisive attack and turned to engage in close combat with Xia Ji.
Unfortunately, Xia Ji was already injured and the effects of the Explosive Breath Pill were starting to dissipate. She could clearly feel that her body was starting to slip from its peak.
"It looks like I can't continue fighting with it."
Xia Ji was not a person who was easily blinded by passion. The current situation was clearly disadvantageous to her. If she had not been injured just now … Perhaps she would still have had a fighting chance against the Sky-Ripping Eagle.
If she continued to fight it head-on, given her current physical condition, it was very likely that she would be completely suppressed by the Sky-Ripping Eagle in less than a moment!
Xia Ji was a very decisive person. The moment she made her decision, her body had already reacted. She first pretended to attack so that the Sky-Ripping Eagle would think that she had not given up and instantly increased its speed.
Evidently, the Sky-Ripping Eagle's increased speed would increase the flow of air. With the help of the airwaves, her body was like a leaf as she flew into the distance.
The Sky-Ripping Eagle finally reacted. It had actually been tricked by a human cultivator. It was immediately enraged and increased its speed as it prepared to give chase.
At this moment, it felt a strange movement in the airflow beside it.
Swish swish swish!
Three ear-piercing sonic booms rang out, and a purplish-golden streak of light that was identical to the one from before shot straight toward him like a meteor chasing after the moon.
Unlike before, there was not one arrow this time. Instead, there were three arrows, each more dangerous than the previous one.
Most importantly, this time, the target of the flying arrow was surprisingly its body.
The power of the flying arrows fired from a Great Path level bow was not to be underestimated. Although the Sky-Ripping Eagle didn't know the grade of the arrow, it could instinctively sense that the arrow had reached a level that could threaten it!
If he did not dodge in time, it was very likely that he would be pierced by the flying arrow.
Although it really wanted to catch up with the girl who had escaped, it still chose to save its own life when compared to the crisis before it!
At that moment, it flapped its wings and stopped its body. Then, it rose up at an extremely fast speed, changing its direction and dodging the flying arrows.
It had to be said that although the Sky-Ripping Eagle was huge, its movements were very agile.
The speed of the flying arrow was extremely fast, but it actually made a choice in the time it took for a spark to fly off a flint, and in the blink of an eye, it had already made a countermeasure.
Xiu Xiu Xiu!
The arrows scraped against the air, producing a sharp sound. At the same time that the Sky-Rending Eagle completely broke away, the three flying arrows just happened to brush past it!
Although the flying arrows did not come into contact with the Sky-Ripping Eagle's body, the airflow they stirred still possessed a destructive power that could not be underestimated.
If it wasn't for the Sky-Ripping Eagle's thick skin, its legs would have been badly mutilated.
Screech!
The Sky-Rending Eagle was thoroughly enraged. It had never expected that the person who had been hiding in the dark and shooting arrows would still be there. During the two most crucial moments, the two attacks had successfully thwarted its plans.
The first time, it had not been able to find the culprit and had to deal with Xia Ji, so it had not been willing to find the culprit.
However, this time, the person who had shot the arrows had successfully shifted its hatred.
All it could think about now was how to find the person who had been hiding in the dark and make him pay a painful price.
Screech!
Another furious roar was heard as the ground beneath it started to shake violently.
Then, the Sky-Rending Eagle's huge wings started to flap frantically, causing sand and stones to fly all over the ground! Without a doubt, it was extremely difficult to stand still in such an environment.
It was obvious that the Sky-Rending Eagle was planning to make use of its strength to force the person hiding in the dark out.
Even if it could not reveal itself, it would at least be able to respond.
As long as it moved, it would cause the air to flow and traces would be revealed. For a flying-type beast like the Sky-Rending Eagle, the changes in the air flow were very easy to detect.
Screech!
Suddenly, the Sky-Rending Eagle let out another clear cry. This time, it sounded extremely high-pitched. Evidently, it had discovered something!
At that moment, all its feathers stood on end as it started to shoot wildly in the direction it had determined.
The sky full of feathers sealed off the space in that direction. It was obvious that it had been prepared to use this move to nail the person hiding in the dark to the ground.
Unfortunately, its reaction was still a step too slow. In other words, the other party's speed was too fast. Its instantaneous counterattack did not achieve any results. Swoosh!
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Suddenly, its hair stood on end as it heard the unbearable ear-piercing explosion once again!
This time, the three purplish-gold arrows had changed directions. From their original left side, they were now on the right side, and they were rapidly flying towards him.
The Sky-Rending Eagle let out an indignant cry, but it had no choice but to change its direction again to avoid the flying arrows.
However, before it could completely stabilize its body, the annoying sound was heard once again.
This time, the direction was completely different. It had moved from its sides to its back.
The Sky-Rending Eagle felt as if its lungs were going to explode. It was the undisputed overlord of this area. For many years, it had relied on the advantage of its bloodline and no one had dared to provoke it in this area.
No matter what kind of enemy it was, they would eventually die under its sharp claws.
However, today, it had actually been played like a fool by someone. It seemed to have sensed that the other party did not have the ability to kill it.
However, the other party had a treasure that could conceal its tracks and a long-range weapon that could take someone's life.
Even if these flying arrows couldn't do anything to it, it felt like it was a puppet being manipulated by someone.
As long as the other party had a thought, it would have to move. Otherwise, it would have to pay a painful price.
And for a moment, it had no way of dealing with such an obvious roguish playstyle.
Chapter 1147: Meeting of the Two
"Bastard human, come out now if you have the guts!"
The Sky-Rending Eagle spoke in the human language, its voice filled with anger.
It could be seen that it was completely enraged. However, the other party's shameless method made it powerless. At this point, it could only transform its anger into the human language and shout loudly.
Unfortunately, its angry roar did not receive any response.
No! No!
There was a response.
However, the response it received was the sound that it did not want to hear the most.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
Another three sonic booms were heard. Three arrows turned into purplish-gold streams of light and appeared under its abdomen. They shot toward it rapidly.
Compared to before, the threat of these three arrows had undoubtedly increased by a few times.
Although the previous flying arrows were very powerful, they were ultimately aimed at its sides or behind it. As long as it moved slightly, it would be able to successfully dodge those kinds of attacks.
However, it was not so easy to dodge the flying arrows coming from below.
After all, the Sky-Rending Eagle's body was too big. It could easily move its body up or down in a short period of time. However, if one wanted to dodge an attack that came from below or above in a short period of time, one would not only need speed, but also a lot of strength.
Most importantly, due to its huge body, the flying arrows seemed very small in comparison.
Although the flying arrows were small, they were very lethal. Not only was it difficult to dodge, but the consequences would also be unimaginable if it was hit.
There was no time for the Sky-Rending Eagle to consider. It could only forcefully twist its body to dodge the flying arrows.
Although it had already made the fastest response in the shortest time possible, it was still a step too late.
The first arrow pierced right into its chest, making a muffled sound. Fortunately, the Sky-Rending Eagle's skin was rough and its flesh was thick. In addition, the first arrow was the weakest among the three. Hence, the flying arrows did not manage to penetrate its body successfully.
Even so, the huge force from the arrowhead still made it feel a sharp pain in its abdomen.
Fortunately, it did not give up on dodging because of the momentary pain. After the first arrow hit its body, it successfully moved its body away. The other two arrows did not hit its target either. After flying for a long distance in the air, it descended rapidly.
"Damn it! I'm going to kill you! "
The Sky-Rending Eagle could not take it any longer. The intense pain stimulated the most primitive bestial instincts in its body.
It was no longer as calm as it had been before. Its body landed on the ground and it used its beak to peck at the ground. Soil and gravel flew in all directions, leaving huge holes in the ground.
It was obvious that it had completely lost its mind. It was prepared to use the most primitive and violent method to find the scourge.
Unfortunately, it did not expect that after shooting the last three arrows, the culprit who had driven it completely mad had already left.
He did not even care if the last three arrows would successfully injure the Sky-Rending Eagle.
This was because he had an even more important matter to attend to.
Following the direction in which Xia Ji had left and the lingering smell of blood in the air, Qin Yi chased after it rapidly.
"I have to say that the effects of the Concealment Talisman are pretty good!"
After removing the talisman, Qin Yi's body appeared once again. Evidently, he had been very satisfied with the effects of the Concealment Talisman.
It was precisely because of this good item and the Seven Star Footwork that he had cultivated that he had been able to change his position repeatedly and toy with the Sky-Rending Eagle.
"However, I did not expect that this beast would actually successfully break through in this one year. Otherwise, I would have been able to kill it with my current trump card! "
To be honest, Emperor Qin Yi had indeed wanted to kill the Sky-Rending Eagle at that time. He had also wanted to get rid of this scourge. Unfortunately, the Sky-Rending Eagle's current strength was already comparable to a third-stage Dao Change Realm warrior. Given his current strength, even if he had a Great Dao weapon in his hands, it would be very difficult to kill it.
Furthermore, this beast already possessed an extremely high spiritual intelligence. Even if it was injured, it could completely escape unscathed.
If Qin Yi wanted to pursue it, then the advantage of his Concealment Talisman would be gone. Once he was discovered, it would be very difficult for him to escape even if he had a powerful movement technique like the Seven Star Footwork.
Of course, these were not the main reasons why he had left. He had left because he was worried about Xia Ji.
He had just seen Xia Ji consume the Explosive Breath Pill with his own eyes. Coupled with her injuries, her current situation was definitely very dangerous.
If Xia Ji was in danger because he wanted to exhaust the Sky-Rending Eagle, then it would be meaningless for Qin Yi to rush over.
When he thought of Xia Ji's expression before she left, Qin Yi could not help but feel a little more worried. He quickened his pace and strode forward.
It had to be said that Xia Ji was indeed a very meticulous person. Even if she was seriously injured, even if she was on the run, she still did not choose a path in a panic. Instead, she would change direction every once in a while, choosing a safer path to continue moving forward.
Although this would take up more time, it would also make it harder for people to track her. Unfortunately, she did not have the time to tend to her injuries.
The thick smell of blood lingered in the air and eventually revealed her whereabouts. As such, this made things a lot more convenient for Qin Yi.
Based on the remaining smell on Xia Ji's body, he could easily find the right direction.
Of course, along the way, he had also helped Xia Ji to get rid of the flaws in the air.
Without a doubt, with the Sky-Rending Eagle's intelligence, it would not take long for it to react. Once it reacted and followed the scent, all their previous efforts would have been in vain.
After a while, Qin Yi finally slowed down his pace and cautiously walked forward.
"Who's there?"
Xia Ji, who was sitting on the ground, immediately noticed the movement. Immediately, she struggled to sit up. She gripped the sword in her hand tightly and looked over cautiously.
At this moment, Xia Ji's face was extremely pale and the color of blood had completely disappeared from her body.
Although she was still holding onto her sword, the weakness in her arms told Qin Yi that her current situation was not optimistic.
Even so, her expression remained serious and there was no trace of fear.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you."
Qin Yi walked out and glanced at her.
Chapter 1148: Direct Combat
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Hearing this, Xia Ji's body shuddered. Then, as if all the energy in her body had been sucked out, she collapsed to the ground.
"You were the one who shot me just now, weren't you?"
Xia Ji looked at Qin Yi weakly and asked in a weak voice.
Qin Yi was noncommittal. Then, he took out a medicinal pill from his storage ring and placed it in front of her, "Eat this."
Xia Ji did not even raise her head as she took the medicinal pill from Qin Yi's hand. Then, without hesitation, she popped the medicinal pill into her mouth.
This situation shocked Qin Yi. He smiled and teased, "Aren't you afraid that I'll hurt you?"
Xia Ji was a cautious person and never trusted anyone completely. Now that Qin Yi was in disguise, he was a complete stranger to her.
Under normal circumstances, not to mention Xia Ji, even a normal person wouldn't easily accept an unknown stranger's gift.
Xia Ji finally lifted her head to look at Qin Yi and said, "If you wanted to kill me, you wouldn't have saved me earlier."
That was true. If Qin Yi really wanted to ignore Xia Ji, he would not have been able to escape from the Heaven-Shredding Eagle as long as he did not make a move.
Clearly, she could tell that Qin Yi did not have any ill intentions towards her.
Qin Yi smiled. He did not plan to disturb her for the time being.
The backlash from the Explosive Breath Pill had already begun. If Xia Ji did not refine the pill in time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
He glanced at Xia Ji and silently retreated to the side. He spread out his divine sense and helped Xia Ji monitor the situation outside.
At least for the time being, he could not let the Heaven-Shredding Eagle disturb Xia Ji.
Just as he had expected, the Heaven-Shredding Eagle reacted very quickly. When it realized that it had been tricked, it was extremely furious. It immediately spread its wings and started to frantically search for Qin Yi and Xia Ji.
Everywhere the Heaven-Shredding Eagle passed, the trees were all destroyed and the commotion was extremely loud. Clearly, it wanted to use this method to force Xia Ji and Qin Yi out.
Fortunately, Xia Ji was rather smart and found a very secluded place. Even if one were to look down from high up in the sky, it would still be difficult to find them.
The most important thing was that along the way, Qin Yi also covered up the smell she left along the way. Even if the Heaven-Shredding Eagle wanted to find them through their scent, it would still return empty-handed.
Of course, even if this place was rather secluded, they could not let their guard down.
After all, they were outsiders and were not familiar with the environment. As a native creature, the Heaven-Shredding Eagle was definitely more familiar with the surrounding environment than Qin Yi and Xia Ji. Once the Heaven-Shredding Eagle calmed down, it would not be impossible for it to find them.
Moreover, it was hard to say if there would be other dangerous beasts in this place.
Therefore, Qin Yi had to be vigilant at all times.
After taking the pill, Xia Ji's complexion improved significantly. The wounds on her body had also started to show signs of healing.
However, her aura was now extremely unstable. It fluctuated between strong and weak, like an oil lamp that was about to burn out, flickering.
Evidently, this was the side effect of the Explosive Breath Pill. The excessive consumption of her potential had led to the danger of her cultivation state becoming unstable.
Unfortunately, Qin Yi could not be of much help in this situation.
In other words, Xia Ji had to rely on herself for everything. She had to rely on her own strength to reduce the backlash of the Explosive Breath Pill as much as possible.
The medicinal pill that Qin Yi gave her to heal her injuries, to a certain extent, also helped her to have more confidence, so that she could have more energy to suppress the backlash of the Explosive Breath Pill.
This was something that Xia Ji was very clear about. As soon as she had recovered from her injuries, she had already tried her best to resist the damage that the pill had done to her body.
Without a doubt, this process was not easy and would definitely take up a lot of time.
At that moment, Qin Yi suddenly sensed a violent aura approaching him at an extremely fast speed.
"It seems like it has found its way here."
Qin Yi sighed. His eyes were filled with helplessness. It was obvious that he was unwilling to leave this place.
After all, Xia Ji was at a critical juncture. If he left, he would not be able to rush back in time to save her if another danger approached.
However, regardless of whether he was willing or not, the Heaven-Shredding Eagle had already found its way to him. At that moment, he had no choice but to stand up and walk out.
Screech!
The Heaven-Shredding Eagle cried out violently. It had evidently sensed that Qin Yi's aura was approaching it.
"Disgraceful human, you will definitely become food in my stomach today!"
The Heaven-Shredding Eagle said angrily when it discovered Qin Yi. Although it had calmed down, the anger in its heart had not subsided at all.
"I don't think that you can eat me with your teeth."
Qin Yi shook his head and said in an extremely calm voice. This time, he did not use the Concealment Talisman.
After all, he had only been trying to restrain the Heaven-Shredding Eagle. He was trying to buy as much time as possible for Xia Ji to escape.
The Concealment Talisman could only be activated when the other party was unaware of it.
Most importantly, even if the same move was used on the same person consecutively, it might not have much of an effect.
If the Heaven-Shredding Eagle could not find him, it was very likely that it would shift its target to Xia Ji. If Qin Yi could not stop it, Xia Ji would be in a very dangerous situation.
Furthermore, even without the Concealment Talisman, Qin Yi would not be too afraid. During this period of training, his cultivation had also improved. Although it was difficult for him to win against a Third-Rank Dao Change State beast, it would not be easy for it to kill him either.
In addition, he had the Thousand Miles Godly Strider Talisman, so he could leave at any time if he wanted to.
"Human, you will soon find out whether or not I have such teeth!"
The Heaven-Shredding Eagle said in the human language, which was not very familiar with. Then, it began to attack.
One had to admit that a beast with the bloodline of the Ancient Golden-Winged Roc was extremely powerful. Qin Yi only felt the immense pressure when he faced it head-on.
The beast was extremely fast and moved like a bolt of lightning. In the blink of an eye, it had already swooped down in front of Qin Yi from mid-air. Its sharp claws, which were enough to trap Qin Yi, opened up and pressed down on Qin Yi like a mountain.
Qin Yi's expression did not change. In the blink of an eye, he unsheathed the Seven Kills Sword. A cold light flashed and the cold sword aura collided with the sharp claws of the Heaven-Shredding Eagle.
Chapter 1149: Enraged Heaven-Shredding Eagle
Boom!
When the Seven Kills Sword Aura collided with the sharp claws of the Heaven-Shredding Eagle, an intense wave of air immediately erupted.
The sword aura was torn apart by the sharp claws and dissipated in the air without a trace.
It had to be said that the name Heaven-Shredding Eagle was not undeserved. Qin Yi knew very well how powerful the sword aura of the Seven Kills Sword was.
However, the other party had used its body to disperse the sword aura. Even Qin Yi did not possess such a strong physical body.
Of course, the Heaven-Shredding Eagle did not come out unscathed after taking on Qin Yi's sword aura. Although there were no visible traces on the surface, the Heaven-Shredding Eagle knew very well that it could feel a tearing pain in its claws.
The cold air almost froze its claws stiff.
However, this feeling did not last for long. Very soon, it recovered and looked at Qin Yi with a murderous look in its eyes.
Qin Yi was naturally not afraid. He took a step back and his face became unusually calm.
Immediately, his eyes narrowed and the aura around his body suddenly changed.
The Seven Kills Sword danced rapidly in his hands as he activated the Wave Slash. The dense sword aura intertwined in the air and gathered into a dense net that rushed towards the Heaven-Shredding Eagle.
The Heaven-Shredding Eagle did not want to fall behind. After a soft cry, its body flew directly into the air. The flapping of its wings created a strong gust of wind to resist against Qin Yi's Seven Kills Sword Aura.
The Seven Kills Sword Aura was invincible and indestructible!
The gust of wind that the Heaven-Shredding Eagle had created was also shattered in an instant. The sword aura continued to move forward and its momentum did not change as it rushed towards the Heaven-Shredding Eagle.
The Heaven-Shredding Eagle screeched and launched another feather attack to attack the sword aura.
Ding Ding Ding!
The sound of metal colliding could be heard and sparks flew in the air. It was like a gorgeous firework blooming in the air. At first glance, it looked very beautiful.
However, both sides knew what kind of danger and murderous intent were hidden in this brilliance.
In an instant, both sides had already exchanged more than a hundred blows. However, neither of them had hurt the other. Their energy consumption was quite large.
This was especially so for Qin Yi. Although he had only exchanged blows for a short time, he was not at a disadvantage. However, he was a martial artist at the Fifth Stage Dao Embryo Realm. No matter how strong his spiritual energy was, it could not compare to a true Dao Change Realm expert like the Heaven-Shredding Eagle. Moreover, the Heaven-Shredding Eagle's current strength could be compared to a human martial artist at the Third Stage Dao Embryo Realm. This level of consumption was nothing to the Heaven-Shredding Eagle.
"Human brat, you are stronger than that little girl from before. It's a pity that your realm has already determined that you will die today! "
The Heaven-Shredding Eagle raised its neck and said coldly. Its words revealed its deep disdain for Qin Yi.
As demonic beasts, they were least afraid of fighting alone. This was especially true when the opponent's realm was far lower than theirs. It did not think that it would lose to the opponent!
Qin Yi took a deep breath. He did not take the Heaven-Shredding Eagle's words to heart. He was trying his best to adjust his state and prepare to defend against the next attack.
At the same time, he rejoiced in his heart. It was a good thing that the first team to pass through the Animal Territory was the Mirage Flower Palace's team.
If he and Qiu Feng's team had reached there earlier, they would have faced a different situation.
They had to admit that their team was the weakest among all the teams. Even if Yun Xiang's team fought with all their might, the combined combat power of the six of them was equivalent to a normal martial artist at the Fifth Stage Dao Embryo Realm.
In this situation where there was such a huge disparity in strength, Qin Yi did not dare to imagine how heavy the casualties would be.
"Even at this point, you can still pretend to be so nonchalant? I have to say, you brat, your heart is really big. It's a pity that you will soon realize that if you don't cry now, you won't have the chance to! "
The Heaven-Shredding Eagle sneered. It was obvious that it liked the feeling of torturing the enemy's mind. It liked to see the enemy's mentality crumble in front of it!
At that moment, it swooped down again, its claws emitting a cold light. What was different from before was that this time, there was a trace of demonic power entwined around its claws. Everywhere it passed, even space was torn apart.
There was no doubt that at this moment, it had finally decided to deal a fatal blow to Qin Yi!
The air was filled with murderous intent. Although the Heaven-Shredding Eagle's sharp claws had not yet reached Qin Yi, Qin Yi's skin could already feel the sharp aura. Streaks of blood appeared on the surface of his skin without warning, and a piercing pain spread throughout Qin Yi's body.
If Qin Yi had not absorbed the golden mist released by the Pure Jar Treasure Pig and his skin had been greatly strengthened, he would have been torn to pieces by now.
Qin Yi's expression did not change. He knew very well that he definitely could not stand there and fight the Heaven-Shredding Eagle head-on.
At that moment, he activated the Seven Star Footwork and took seven steps. His entire body was like a ray of starlight as he shot out.
Bam!
The moment he left, the Heaven-Shredding Eagle's claws had already scratched the ground where he had been standing. In an instant, gravel flew everywhere, and a huge pit appeared in the ground.
Screech!
The Heaven-Shredding Eagle cried out when its attack missed. It was obvious that it was extremely annoyed by Qin Yi's mysterious movement technique.
Previously, when Qin Yi had used the Concealment Talisman, he had obviously used this technique. This had caused the Heaven-Shredding Eagle to be unable to capture Qin Yi's movements. In the end, it had almost been injured by Qin Yi's three arrows.
Now, Qin Yi had used this technique again. Once again, its attack was dodged by this martial technique.
The Heaven-Shredding Eagle's anger, which had been suppressed with great difficulty, erupted once again.
"Ignorant human kid, do you really think that I'm afraid of you in terms of speed?"
The Heaven-Shredding Eagle's voice was filled with murderous intent. Suddenly, its body started to shrink rapidly.
Evidently, it also knew that its huge body would not give it any advantage in front of the agile Qin Yi. Instead, it would become a sharp weapon that Qin Yi could use against it.
Soon, its body shrank to the size of an ordinary person. Although this size was still a little too big for a bird, it had shrunk many times compared to before.
"This time, I want to see if your speed still has any advantage!"
As soon as it finished speaking, the Heaven-Shredding Eagle flapped its wings and shot over like a bolt of lightning, leaving behind an afterimage on its original spot.
