Translator: 549690339
An unnamed mountain peak, which looked ordinary to the point of having no name.
Dusk was approaching and nightfall was imminent.
Pei Xuanjing, Taoist Qingxu, and Bai Xiaosheng each stood atop a huge boulder, quietly waiting for nightfall.
Yes, this unnamed peak was the entrance to the secret realm controlled by the Shenxiao Sect.
To act covertly, they brought no one else along, only the three of them arrived here.
The setting sun gradually descended, presenting a unique ambiance when viewed from the mountaintop.
However, none of the three men’s attention was on this spectacle, they were merely waiting.
The Golden Crow sinks in the west while the Jade Rabbit rises in the east.
When the bright moon hanged high in the sky, Taoist Qingxu said calmly, “It’S about time, we can start.”
Pei Xuanjing and Bai Xiaosheng nodded simultaneously, “Alright!”
Bai Xiaosheng waved his arm, threw several specially crafted array flags onto the mountain peak, which formed a mysterious array.
Pei Xuanjing operated the skill written on the jade book of the Shenxiao Sword, released his true qi that swept towards those array flags. Every flag was bathed in true qi, emitting a humming sound as they began to connect with each other.
A misty atmosphere permeated the area, and countless white fog enveloped the mountain peak.
Taoist Qingxu formed seals with both hands, true qi gathered on it, struck the white fog with a talisman, and in an instant, a bright light erupted. The white fog resembling a floodgate, diffused in all directions.
Taoist Qingxu took a step forward, leading the way into the swirling fog:
“Follow me.”
Bai Xiaosheng and Pei Xuanjing nodded, then followed closely, stepping into it.
Whoosh…
The moment they stepped into the white fog, Pei Xuanjing felt light as a feather, as though he had stepped into a cloud. He heightened his alertness to sense his surroundings, but all he could perceive was an infinite expanse of white, as if a boundless chaos where nothing existed.
Whoosh!
All this happened in the blink of an eve. The white fog disappeared suddenly, revealing a completely different world before his eyes.
Pei Xuanjing stealthily surveyed his environment. They were now in a forest, all that could be seen was lush vegetation extending without end.
“Is this the secret realm of the Shenxiao Sect?” Bai Xiaosheng asked indifferently.
“Indeed!” Taoist Qingxu nodded agreeably.
Pei Xuanjing asked, “So where are we going next?”
Bai Xiaosheng folded his fan, reached into his sleeves and took out an unknown beast skin map, saying, “This is the map that was left behind, we just need to follow it.”
Pei Xuanjing was about to respond when he suddenly sensed something, saying gravely, “Something is approaching.”
Both of them were martial arts masters, upon Pei Xuanjing’s alert, their expressions changed as they too sensed it.
Boom!
The ground beneath them began to subtly shake, and the tremors were getting closer…
“There!” Taoist Qingxu pinpointed the direction and pointed towards it.
Pei Xuanjing rested his hand on his Shenxiao Sword at his waist, casting his gaze towards it, a massive creature appeared roughly a hundred feet away, charging towards them.
“Is that a tiger?” He asked with a furrowed brow.
Bai Xiaosheng’s expression became serious too, “Do tigers get this big?”
Most tigers are less than ten feet long and not more than three feet tall.
However, the far-off creature resembling a tiger was almost as tall as a grown man, about twenty feet long, with a huge head the size of a grindstone. Its gaping mouth was covered in blood, issuing a deafening roar.
Roar!
The thunderous roar resonated, like a startling thunderclap echoing through the woods, causing all the birds and beasts to scatter.
“This roar is almost comparable to the Lion’s Roar skill!” said Taoist Qingxu.
The deafening roar reached the ears of the trio, fortunately, they were all top-notch martial artists, it didn’t affect them at all.
“Regardless of what that thing is, it seems to be aiming for us. We need to take care of it.” said Pei Xuanjing coldly.
This beast – if it could be loosely termed a tiger – let out its deafening roar, glaring at them with its bell-sized eyes, its gaping mouth dripping with blood, charging straight towards the three of them.
It could leap several feet in one bound, and was rapidly closing in.
Pei Xuanjing was about to strike, but Taoist Qingxu chuckled lightly, saying, “If that’s the case, allow me to limber up.”
Hearing this, Pei Xuanjing didn’t express any desire to rush ahead; with a knowing look, he and Bai Xiaosheng took a step back, giving Taoist Qingxu the chance to act.
Taoist Qingxu didn’t resort to using the treasured sword on his back, he moved in the mystic Seven Stars manner, stepping launches him several feet to meet the challenge.
The giant beast seemed to be oppressive and uncontested in this forest. Seeing that his prey didn’t flee upon seeing him, but instead went to meet him, further infuriated the beast.
It leapt several feet high, swung its gigantic paw, causing a strong gust of wind, aiming to kill Qingxu.
Unexpectedly, Qingxu swerved, and with a simple body feint, easily evaded the attack.
“Tiyun Vertical, this old fellow’s movement technique has truly developed its own unique style.” Bai Xiaosheng commented nonchalantly beside Pei Xuanjing.
Tiyun Vertical, a top-level martial arts skill of the True Martial Sect, is known for its agility. There are only a few movement techniques in the world of martial arts that can surpass it.
“Indeed impressive.” Pei Xuanjing didn’t hold back his praise.
The agility of movement techniques was his shortcoming, he couldn’t execute fluid movements like Qingxu.
Moreover, due to his preference for raw power, Pei Xuanjing wasn’t fond of this fighting style.
In his view, raw power could overcome myriad techniques. As long as he possessed mighty strength, he could face any number of schemes.By punching or slashing them to death, it was a form of violent beauty.
Boom!
The giant paw came crashing down, raising dust all around.
With Qingxu’s light footwork of Tiyun Vertical, despite the creature’s boundless power, it was unable to hit its target.
Roar!
The giant beast let out a deafening roar. It was truly enraged. Its long and thick tail, resembling a steel whip, swung around, causing a sonorous sound as it tried to strike Qingxu. However, it was still futile, just like a force hitting a soft cushion, it didn’t cause any harm.
“Elder, don’t waste time,” Bai Xiaosheng urged.
Through their brief encounter, he and Pei Xuanjing understood that while the giant beast had enormous strength, it lacked intelligence and was no match for them.
Consequently, Bai Xiaosheng didn’t wish to waste any time, directly urged Qingxu to finish the creature so they could leave together.
“Alright!” The voice of Qingxu came out, it was extremely calm, it seemed as if the ongoing fight had nothing to do with him, he didn’t seem to be affected at all.
Taoist Qingxu leapt up and deftly landed on the beast’s back.
The beast was furiously trying to toss him off with its swinging tail, oblivious to Qingxu’s greater speed..
