The Guardian Spirit let out another earth-shattering roar, causing the ground to tremble and dust to fly everywhere.
"Little barbarian …" Its eyes widened to the size of copper bells as it glared at Lu Qingshan, revealing monstrous killing intent. It was so angry that its entire body trembled. "How dare you bully me like this?!!"
Everything that happened today was an unprecedented humiliation for the high and mighty Guardian Spirit of the Giant Deer Tribe.
It was already afraid of the barbarian in front of it, so it took the initiative to ask for peace. However, it didn't expect that the barbarian in front of it would take advantage of it.
This was too much!
After stabilizing its body, the Divine Deer ignored the blood on its head and immediately flickered with dazzling light patterns on its antlers.
In the dark night, the light gathered like a sun.
The Guardian Spirit of the Giant Deer Tribe was clearly preparing to unleash its ultimate move.
Lu Qingshan immediately felt his hair stand on end.
He could feel that the power and might of the light patterns were extremely terrifying.
This was the full strength attack of a peak Fifth Rank Great Demon. If he didn't handle it well, he would be in danger of dying.
The Divine Deer carefully activated the demon power in its body. It was also extremely fearful of the sword-wielding barbarian in front of it.
It didn't want to fail when it activated its strongest ability and be counterattacked by the barbarian.
As cautious as it was, it keenly sensed that something was wrong. However, it couldn't figure out where the abnormality came from.
Its doubts didn't last long.
In the next moment, a flying sword appeared in its eyes.
The flying sword was a little small. It didn't look like a sword, but more like a flying knife.
The kind that Xiao Li used.
A wave of ripples flashed on the flying sword. The flying sword's body was as smooth as flowing water.
What was that?!
The Guardian Spirit's scalp went numb.
It didn't feel much power from the flying sword, but that was the most terrifying thing!
Lu Qingshan didn't give the Guardian Spirit too much time to react.
Heart Sword — Embryonic Light!
No matter how strong the Guardian Spirit's body was, this sword that specialized in cutting the Primordial Spirit ignored the body and directly cut into the Divine Deer's Primordial Spirit.
In the Guardian Spirit's mind, there was a flash of sword light.
A moment later, the flickering light patterns on the Guardian Spirit's antlers suddenly scattered, and a trace of confusion appeared in its eyes.
The Sword of Embryonic Light was also known as the Sword of Cutting Worries.
Since he wanted to end his worries, he naturally had to evoke them first.
"Bloodline, bloodline, I want to leap through the dragon gate and break my own shackles!"
"I want to enter the sixth rank!" This was an angry roar that came from the Guardian Spirit's heart as it suddenly echoed in its ears.
"Lord Guardian Spirit, we are incompetent. My Barbarian Race has a total of over a thousand clans, and every single one of them wants to help their clan's Guardian Spirit obtain a spot in the Dragon Gate and help their clan's Guardian Spirit complete its bloodline evolution.
Our Giant Deer Tribe does not have any great talents. Although we have tried our best, we are still powerless. We have not reaped anything! "Lu Man's apologetic voice entered his ears.
This was what the Deer God had experienced before.
"This bunch of trash. If I can't enter the Dragon Gate, how can I enter the ranks?!" It felt irritable.
These scenes only flashed in the Guardian Spirit's mind for a moment before it regained its senses.
It was at the peak of the fifth rank, and the strength of its primordial spirit was much stronger than the Deer Man's. Therefore, its recovery time was much faster than the Deer Man's.
However, the Guardian Spirit's momentary daze was enough for Lu Qingshan.
When the Guardian Spirit of the Giant Deer Tribe regained its senses, its line of sight was already filled with a dark green longsword. There was a strange power lingering on the sword.
This sword directly pierced through the wound on its head!
After the peach blossom was inserted into the Deer God's skull, a pure sword qi suddenly erupted from the sword.
With the sword in the Deer God's body, even if he activated the sword qi, no one would be able to see this scene. Therefore, Lu Qingshan did not hold back anymore.
Pain!
At this critical moment, the Deer God did not have time to ponder about the origin of the sword qi. It hurriedly circulated its qi, blood, and demonic energy with all its might, wanting to eliminate the sword qi that was running around in its body.
It only needed a little bit of time.
However, no one wanted to change it. In the next moment, the huge Guardian Spirit's expression changed.
— There was an extremely strange power lingering in the longsword that had entered its body. It was suppressing the circulation of its qi and blood.
Peach Blossom: Immortal.
This was the reason why Lu Qingshan changed the Dragon Sparrow to the Peach Blossom.
After borrowing the Dragon Sparrow's ability to break through the Guardian Spirit's defense, the Peach Blossom, which had an extremely strong restraining effect on the physical body, could be used.
Taking advantage of the Guardian Spirit's qi and blood being blocked, Lu Qingshan finally had no more scruples. He condensed the Immortal True Intent and the Slaughter Sword Intent, borrowing the Immortal True Intent to evolve the Slaughter Sword Intent.
The tyrannical Slaughter Sword Intent was spat out!
"You're a sword …" At this time, how could the Giant Deer Tribe's Guardian Spirit not realize Lu Qingshan's identity as a sword cultivator?
However, it was a pity that it realized it too late.
In the eyes of the Giant Deer Tribe's and the Bear Tribe's cultivators, what they saw was the arrogant Deer God. After Lu Qingshan's sword pierced its skull, its huge brain was instantly torn into pieces.
Boom!
The Deer God's huge body collapsed with a loud bang, smashing a deep hole in the ground. It was truly a spectacular scene.
Lu Qingshan slowly put away his sword, took out a pill from his storage ring, and swallowed it.
This was the healing medicine that Xia Daoyun had prepared for him. It was a grade five healing medicine.
He had only suffered some light injuries, yet he had to take such a precious pill. It was as if he was recklessly wasting a heavenly treasure.
However, Lu Qingshan thought about it again. Xia Daoyun had prepared a lot of these pills for him, and he rarely got injured. It would be a waste if he didn't use them. That was why he didn't save them.
After killing the Giant Deer Tribe's Guardian Spirit, Lu Qingshan wasn't in a hurry to chase after the remaining Giant Deer Tribe cultivators.
In any case, these Giant Deer Tribe cultivators were already disheartened. They had no fighting spirit left.
He floated in the air, his cold gaze sweeping over the entire battlefield. "If the Giant Deer Tribe cultivators want to live, then immediately land on the ground."
Lu Qingshan's words were clearly extremely calm, but they were like the whispers of a demon in the ears of the Giant Deer Tribe cultivators. Immediately, a dozen or so Giant Deer Tribe cultivators fell to the ground.
They had no other choice.
The You Xiong Tribe cultivator in front of them was extremely ferocious. Their own Zhu Ji had been killed in an instant, and their Guardian Spirit hadn't lasted for long either. This kind of person wasn't someone they could contend against.
In a situation where they were bound to lose, what was the point of futile resistance?
Where there's life, there's hope. Giving up on resisting was their only choice.
With someone taking the lead, the Giant Deer Tribe cultivators who were still hesitating also became confident. It's not like I'm the first to back down.
Soon, another dozen or so cultivators chose to land on the ground.
Of course, there were also some who were stubborn.
Lu Qingshan looked at the Giant Deer Tribe cultivators who were still floating in the air, their legs trembling. They gritted their teeth and refused to land. He nodded and praised, "You guys have more backbone than the people below."
"Whoosh!"
In the next moment, Lu Qingshan's figure shot out. He held the peach blossom in his hand and rushed to the seven or eight Giant Deer Tribe cultivators with backbone. He cut them down like he was mowing grass.
"Bam! Bam! Bam! "
"Since you don't want to land on your own, I'll send you to the ground," said Lu Qingshan.
These Giant Deer Tribe cultivators had already become corpses. They fell from the air and landed among the Giant Deer Tribe cultivators on the ground.
"Brother," shouted Lu Qingshan.
The You Xiong Tribe leader in the crowd didn't react immediately. He was stunned for a moment before he realized his role. He hurriedly replied, "Brother, I'm here!"
"Send a message to the Giant Deer Tribe. If the Giant Deer Tribe leader still wants the lives of these Giant Deer Tribe cultivators, he can bring the ransom himself to You Xiong to redeem his tribe members."
"Alright …"
.....
The You Xiong Tribe cultivators who came out in full force returned in full force. Moreover, their numbers had almost doubled — each of them had one or two Giant Deer Tribe cultivators in their hands.
All the You Xiong Tribe cultivators were at a loss.
The crisis that almost caused You Xiong Tribe to collapse was resolved just like that?
They had only followed Elder Xiong Hao around. They didn't even have time to warm up. Yet, the Giant Deer Tribe cultivators had given up on resisting and allowed themselves to be taken captive?
All of this was like a dream. They couldn't react to it even now.
The only thing they understood was that this elder brother of the tribe leader who had only returned after traveling for a hundred years must have had a fortuitous encounter and possessed unimaginable strength.
As long as Elder Hao was around, no one would dare to bully their You Xiong Tribe.
In the cultivation world, be it the humans or the Barbarians, it was the same. A top-notch cultivator was enough to decide everything.
With that thought in mind, the You Xiong Tribe cultivators looked at You Xiong Hao's back with reverence.
'Elder Hao is good at everything … except that he's too thin and weak.'
Looking at Elder Hao's figure, the You Xiong Tribe cultivators thought.
In the Barbarians, strength was beauty.
It must be known that their strength was so weak compared to Elder Hao, but the muscles on their bodies were bulging. Elder Hao must have suffered too much in the hundred years he had spent traveling outside.
'Thank you, Elder Hao!'
…
When the You Xiong Tribe cultivators returned with the Giant Deer Tribe cultivators as captives, You Xiong Tribe instantly turned into a sea of joy. Everyone lit a bonfire and took out the self-brewed wine they had stored for a long time.
They had been shrouded in the dark clouds of the Giant Deer Tribe for a long time. Now that the clouds had finally dispersed, it was no wonder they were so excited.
In the quiet room.
"Thank you, brother, for saving You Xiong," the You Xiong Tribe leader said respectfully.
"You don't blame me for not leading you to flatten Giant Deer and strengthen You Xiong?" Lu Qingshan asked meaningfully with a half-smile.
"The Barbarians all know the principle of 'the bigger the bowl, the more rice you eat.'" The You Xiong Tribe leader's face was serious. "With You Xiong's current strength, I'm already very grateful that we can protect You Xiong Tribe."
Lu Qingshan nodded. He was quite satisfied with the You Xiong Tribe leader's visit.
"Since I've helped you solve the Giant Deer Tribe problem," Lu Qingshan casually threw out a crystal token and said calmly, "you have to do what you promised earlier.
Otherwise … you'll end up like the two priests … "
The You Xiong Tribe leader took the crystal token. His expression kept changing. After a moment of silence, he let out a long breath and nodded slowly. "I'll remember what you said, brother."
The crystal token was a communication token.
As a condition for helping the You Xiong Tribe leader solve the Giant Deer Tribe problem, from now on, the You Xiong Tribe leader had to be the spy of the Da Xia Kingdom in the Wilderness. He had to send the latest information of the Barbarian Tribe to the Shao Dian through the communication token.
The You Xiong Tribe leader felt bitter.
Previously, when the tribe was in danger, he could not care too much. He could only take the risk and ask the Shao Dian of the Da Xia Kingdom for help. Now that things had taken a turn for the better, he was conflicted about the forbidden matter of communicating with the human race.
But no matter how conflicted he was, he did not dare to go back on his word.
…
The next day.
"The Guardian Spirit is dead." The You Xiong Tribe leader brought Lu Qingshan a big piece of news.
"Just bury it properly." Lu Qingshan was not surprised. The injuries of the You Xiong Clan's Guardian Spirit were indeed too severe.
"In a few days, it will be the day of the Barbarian Tribe's Ancestor Worship," the You Xiong Tribe leader said.
"Ancestor Worship?" Lu Qingshan raised his eyebrows. He knew that this was the most important ceremony of the Barbarian Tribe. He suddenly became interested. "Tell me more about it."
The Ancestor Worship was the most important event for the thousands of Barbarian Tribe in the Wilderness.
Because on the Ancestor Worship Day, other than the ceremony to worship the Barbarian Ancestors, there was also the Dragon Gate Challenge, which was the most important thing for all the tribes.
The Dragon Gate Challenge was to fight for a spot in the Dragon Gate. It was held once every twenty years. The time was not fixed on a certain day, but it was generally within a certain period.
Lu Qingshan just happened to be in time for the Barbarian Tribe's Ancestor Worship Day.
The spots to enter the Dragon Gate were extremely precious. Other than the top five tribes of the Barbarian Tribe who each had five fixed spots, which other small and medium-sized tribes had the qualifications to always occupy a spot?
And this kind of competition for resources could not be solved by just talking. The simplest way to convince the masses was to use their fists to decide who was better.
In order to ensure that the strength of the Barbarian Tribe was not depleted in internal strife, and to allow every tribe to have a chance to obtain a spot in the Dragon Gate, the Great Dream Shaman of the Barbarian Tribe decided that the person who punched would be a young practitioner of each tribe.
The Dragon Gate Challenge Day was just to provide the Guardian Spirit of each tribe with a chance to jump through the Dragon Gate. On the other hand, it was related to the rise and fall of the tribe.
So no matter if it was the Barbarian Tribe or the Guardian Spirit, they all attached great importance to the Dragon Gate Challenge Day.
"At that time, the leaders of thousands of tribes will bring the most outstanding young clansmen and follow the Guardian Spirit to the Ancestor's Land." The You Xiong Tribe leader introduced. "The scene is unimaginable!"
"The Guardian Spirit of each tribe will go?" Lu Qingshan, who originally did not think much of it, suddenly had his eyes light up at this moment, and hurriedly asked.
"All the tribes that participate in the Ancestral Worship Ceremony will go with the Guardian Spirit. Only a very small number of tribes can't participate because of some special envoys, so they will be left behind." The You Xiong Tribe leader thought for a moment and said with certainty.
Lu Qingshan's mind immediately became active.
He had already grasped the secret of sword qi transformation, but in order to truly reach the realm of sword qi transformation, there was still a very important process to go through. That was to observe ten thousand beasts and find the ferocious beast that was most compatible with his temperament.
Then, after obtaining its intent, it would transform into its form.
On the Ancestral Worship Day, according to what the You Xiong Tribe leader said, the Guardian Spirit of each tribe would be present. At that time, it would definitely be a dance of beasts.
Wasn't it suitable for observing ten thousand beasts?
This was a treasured land for his sword qi transformation!
"Is the You Xiong Tribe prepared to go to the Ancestral Worship Ceremony this time?" Lu Qingshan asked.
"We won't go this time." The You Xiong Tribe leader shook his head. "We are in a special situation right now."
"Let's go," Lu Qingshan said indifferently.
The You Xiong Tribe leader looked at Lu Qingshan in surprise. Clearly, he did not understand why Lu Qingshan would suddenly interfere in this matter.
Moreover, he was slightly conflicted and hesitant about Lu Qingshan's decision. He wanted to say something, but stopped himself.
"What, is there a problem?" Lu Qingshan asked.
The You Xiong Tribe leader gritted his teeth. He decided to ignore everything and said honestly, "But the Guardian Spirit has just died. We don't have a Guardian Spirit right now … We can't participate in the Ancestral Worship Ceremony this time."
"If you don't have a Guardian Spirit, then form a contract with a new Guardian Spirit," Lu Qingshan lectured. "How can a tribe go without a Guardian Spirit?"
"But … not only do we not have a Guardian Spirit right now, we also don't have a Guardian Spirit to form a contract with …" the You Xiong Tribe leader said carefully.
Looking at the You Xiong Tribe leader's fearful appearance, Lu Qingshan did not make things difficult for him.
He had to go to the Ancestral Worship Ceremony. However, the Barbarian Tribe was so against humans, and the Ancestral Worship Ceremony was so important to the Barbarian Tribe, so it would definitely be heavily guarded. He could only use the You Xiong Tribe's identity as a cover to participate in the Ancestral Worship Ceremony …
After pondering for a moment, Lu Qingshan's eyes suddenly flashed. He had an idea.
He patted his Spirit Beast Pouch and summoned the Western Rat King.
"This beast can temporarily act as the You Xiong Tribe's Guardian Spirit and participate in the Ancestral Worship Ceremony," Lu Qingshan said as he pointed at the Western Rat King, who still did not understand what was going on.
"Rat Demon …?" Looking at the Western Rat King, the You Xiong Tribe leader instantly fell into a daze. He clearly could not understand why a cultivator like Lu Qingshan would have a Rat Demon as a Demon Pet.
He hesitated for a long time, and then said to Lu Qingshan bitterly, "Brother, if we use the Rat Demon as our Guardian Spirit this time, the You Xiong Tribe will probably be laughed at by the other Tribes …
Who knows, maybe we'll even get the name 'Mouse Clan' … "
The Barbarians, who valued brawn as beauty, clearly could not accept the idea of using a little Rat Demon as their Guardian Spirit.
Lu Qingshan was not angry.
"The world of flowers is mesmerizing. Don't try to act cool in front of Lord Rat!" However, the little Rat Demon at the side was hopping mad at this moment.
Although it did not know the exact situation, it could still hear the contempt in the You Xiong Tribe leader's words.
The little Rat Demon looked at the You Xiong Tribe leader and questioned him with dissatisfaction, "So what if we have rats? How can we lose to the You Xiong Tribe? Are you looking down on Lord Rat? "
"I wouldn't dare, I wouldn't dare," the You Xiong Tribe leader hurriedly apologized.
Even if he did not respect the monk, he had to respect the Buddha.
This was the demon of his "brother", after all. The You Xiong Tribe leader could only coax it politely.
Lu Qingshan saw that the Western Rat King was putting its hands on its hips, and looked at the You Xiong Tribe leader, who was clearly an eight-foot-tall man, but could only apologize to the little Rat Demon while sweating profusely. In the end, he did not make things difficult for the You Xiong Tribe leader. Instead, he sent a voice transmission to the Western Rat King, and gave him some instructions.
When the Western Rat King received Lu Qingshan's request, it pursed its lips in dissatisfaction. However, it still nodded in the end.
"Watch carefully," the Western Rat King called out to the You Xiong Tribe leader.
Then, under the You Xiong Tribe leader's astonished gaze, the Western Rat King suddenly straightened its body. It raised its front paw high above its head, and then started to spin and shake at a dazzling speed. It was as if a flower had been shaken out of its paw.
A misty red glow appeared and covered the little Rat Demon's body. Then, the little Rat Demon's body expanded quickly.
After a moment, the Western Rat King turned into a giant silver-gray tiger. Its size was only slightly smaller than the original tribute spirit of the You Xiong Tribe.
"The tiger of Green Province!" the Western Rat King roared at the You Xiong Tribe leader, who was dumbfounded.
Lu Qingshan pointed at the Western Rat King, who had turned into a fox demon, and said to the You Xiong Tribe leader, "Now, it will serve as the tribute spirit of the You Xiong Tribe for the time being, won't it?"
The You Xiong Tribe leader came back to himself. His eyes were still somewhat dazed, but subconsciously, he replied, "Yes, yes, it can't be more suitable!"
"That's good." Lu Qingshan nodded in satisfaction. "Get ready. The You Xiong Tribe will participate in this ancestral worship ceremony!"
