"Qing Feng, stop at once and hand over your jade token to forfeit your qualification; otherwise, even with the rules, I will teach you a harsh lesson and kill your demonic beast." Luo Tianyi arrived on his sword, his voice thundering from afar.
"Qing Feng, stop immediately, or your demonic beast will surely be slain." Two more shouts came.
"So annoying," Qing Feng grumbled impatiently, turning to ask Xuan Dog, "Brother Dog, can you run faster and shake them off?"
"This is already the fastest. Your Beast Taming Sect's sword-riding technique is incredibly fast, and the treasured sword in that person's hand further accelerated his speed," Xuan Dog replied while fleeing through the complex terrain.
"Hold on, it might hurt a bit, but it will be over soon," Qing Feng said, slicing open Great Mysterious Dog's back and embedding his jade token into it.
Great Mysterious Dog cried out in pain, "What are you doing?"
"Of course, I'm looking for allies, Big Brother Dog. Remember your new identity: you are a poor demonic beast being hunted by those evil sword cultivators, and you swallowed two Beast Taming Sect Disciples while escaping," Qing Feng explained seriously.
Hearing this, Lu Ran, who stood behind Qing Feng, was astonished. Could this method actually work? Wouldn't he be torn apart by the demonic beast?
"But there are no powerful demonic beasts nearby?" Xuan Dog quickly reacted and asked.
"Just run. From the Golden Core area to the Nascent Soul area, you can go anywhere. Just swallow us first," Qing Feng instructed.
"Makes sense. Everyone, don't resist." Xuan Dog opened its huge mouth, and a powerful force instantly swept up the surrounding sand and dust. Qing Feng and Lu Ran took the opportunity to leap into the wind and were immediately sucked into a special space within Xuan Dog's belly.
After completing all this, Xuan Dog breathed a sigh of relief and bolted in the direction of the scent.
Strangely, ever since the two people were inside its body, its speed significantly increased, as if heaven and earth were assisting it.
The three people chasing, including Luo Tianyi, were full of doubt. How did this Xuan Dog suddenly accelerate?
However, they did not want Qing Feng to escape so easily, so they recklessly flew on their swords, trying to close the distance.
Inside Xuan Dog's belly, Qing Feng could still perceive the outside situation and silently guided Xuan Dog to accelerate.
When he sensed two Golden Core Ninth Level demonic beasts ahead, Qing Feng subtly reduced the amplification, disrupting Xuan Dog's pace and causing its speed to plummet.
Immediately after, a sharp sword qi flew past it, hitting a peacock that was displaying its feathers.
The attacked peacock demon and its companion angrily looked at the four intruders in their territory.
Before they could launch an attack, Xuan Dog shouted loudly, "Big brother and big sister, these despicable sword cultivators want to slaughter all male demonic beasts and capture female demonic beasts to improve their cultivation."
The innocently attacked peacock demon frowned and looked at the sword cultivators in the sky. Although it had no good feelings for Xuan Dog, they could temporarily cooperate when facing a common human enemy.
Seeing that there were three Golden Core Ninth Level on this side, while the other side had only one Golden Core Ninth Level and two Golden Core Eighth Level, the peacock demon unhesitatingly launched its attack. Its brilliant tail feathers glowed, and countless sharp, knife-like feathers shot towards its opponents.
Qing Feng smiled slightly; the provocation was successful, and a battle was about to erupt!
"Two flat-feathered birds, if you don't want to die, scram! If you dare to block me, I'll make sure your flesh and skin are gone." Luo Tianyi swung his sword, a true dragon phantom encircling the sword light, blocking the peacock's luminous feathers, and said coldly.
"Human brat, how dare you intrude upon this king's territory and speak so arrogantly." The male peacock demon roared. He was originally preparing to heal and cultivate with his companion but was suddenly attacked, nearly losing his life, and now he was called a flat-feathered beast, making him utterly furious.
After a roar, the male peacock's body suddenly grew larger, spreading its magnificent tail feathers, the colorful light dazzling, accompanied by terrifying demonic power shockwaves.
"Evil creature." As the peacock's attack intensified, Luo Tianyi also decided to speak no more. His goal was to eliminate the demonic creatures here.
Wielding the True Dragon Sword, the sword qi echoed like a dragon's roar, and the true dragon phantom reappeared. A single sword strike descended with astonishing power, its aftermath destroying a large area of the forest.
He moved with his sword, incomparably domineering, forcing the male peacock into a desperate situation.
Facing such a powerful opponent, a trace of fear flashed in the male peacock's eyes, and Luo Tianyi's second sword had already arrived, its momentum vast, seemingly capable of overturning heaven and earth, causing the male peacock to vomit blood and suffer injuries.
Seeing this, the female peacock hurriedly joined the battle. The husband and wife fought Luo Tianyi together but were still suppressed.
Han Yin, who came with them, saw this and shouted triumphantly, "Look how powerful my Senior Brother is. I advised you to surrender earlier, but now it's too late to regret."
Luo Zhan, on the other hand, laughed, "It just so happens that I haven't tasted meat in the Bi An Realm yet. Golden Core level dog meat is a top-grade delicacy."
The two cooperated tacitly, one performing the Dragon Yang Sword Art and the other the Phoenix Yang Sword Art. Dragon and Phoenix complemented each other, their power even greater.
"Want to eat your grandpa's meat? See if you have the ability first," Great Mysterious Dog said disdainfully.
Although the two peacocks were also Golden Core Ninth Level, their strength was impaired in the Bi An Realm, preventing them from unleashing powerful abilities.
Luo Zhan showed no fear, meeting the enemy with a wild sword technique, forming a deadly field of sword qi.
Han Yin waited on the side for an opportunity, ready to deliver a fatal blow.
To Luo Zhan and Han Yin's astonished eyes, Great Mysterious Dog showed no fear, rushing directly into the sword qi.
It condensed an Asura Dharma Body, allowing the sword qi to rage. Although thousands of sword qi followed one after another, its Dharma Body shattered as a result.
This was not because the Dharma Body was not strong enough. In fact, the Asura Dharma Body was more powerful than Luo Zhan and Han Yin's divine abilities.
It was just that Great Mysterious Dog had cultivated for too short a time, only one month, and could only exert one or two tenths of its strength, far less than Luo Zhan and Han Yin's many years of painstaking cultivation.
Within a few breaths, Great Mysterious Dog was covered in wounds and dripping with blood, but it instead accelerated its attack, its claws aiming directly for Luo Zhan's heart.
If this continued, even if Great Mysterious Dog had a slight upper hand, given the Beast Taming Sect's extremely fierce killing techniques, Great Mysterious Dog would surely be severely injured, while Luo Zhan's life would be difficult to preserve.
The Beast Taming Sect advocates that offense is the best defense, so their defensive capabilities are relatively weak.
Luo Zhan knew that if he were killed by Great Mysterious Dog, Xuan Dog would not escape the Sect's severe punishment.
But he dared not gamble. What if Xuan Dog disregarded the consequences?
Great Mysterious Dog had no retreat at this moment. If it didn't harden its heart, it would surely die.
Luo Zhan thought to himself, as the descendant of a Duke of the Da Liang Empire and a direct Disciple of the Dragon Yang Peak of the Beast Taming Sect, how could he perish with a beast? Thinking this, he chose to retreat.
This retreat caused a flaw in the formation set up by him and Han Yin. Great Mysterious Dog was overjoyed at the sight, its entire demonic power boiling like a sea, and it fiercely pounced on Han Yin.
Han Yin was caught off guard and fully unleashed the Phoenix Yang Sword Art to respond, but in his haste, he was ultimately no match for the fully prepared Great Mysterious Dog.
Under the immense impact, Han Yin vomited blood and flew backward, as if trampled by countless wild horses.
Then, Great Mysterious Dog shattered his jade token with a palm, stripping him of his combat qualification, and immediately turned to pounce on Luo Zhan.
