Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated
At the sound of Qingfeng Li calling his beast garbage, the Left Guardian"s eyes started fuming. At the same time, he was also stunned. After all, he was a member of the Beast-Emperor Sect, and he was skilled at attacking with beasts.
Although the mutated demonic snake that the Left Guardian had called out was only a half-step Spirit Emperor Realm demonic beast, its attack powers were equivalent to that of a Spirit Emperor Realm demonic beast.
But so what? His mutated demonic snake had been easily defeated by Black Puppy.
"Qingfeng Li, you dare to kill my mutated beast? I"m going to end you!" The Left Guardian glared at Qingfeng Li, his eyes full of rage.
The mutated demonic snake had lived with the Left Guardian for many years, and they were very close to one another. It had protected him in many battles, making it his prized battle beast. But now, it had died a miserable death.
"The moment you ambushed me is the moment you sealed your fate. You will die now." Qingfeng Li looked at the Left Guardian coldly.
"Fire River!" With a low roar, Qingfeng Li struck out his Fire Emperor Sword, transforming it into a giant river of fire.
The Fire River was a couple of thousand meters long, engorged by red flames as if it were boiling magma, charging straight towards the Left Guardian.
The Left Guardian struck out a punch, transforming it into a gigantic fist and attempting to break through the fire river. As soon as the gigantic fist formed, however, the fire river burnt it to ashes.
The Fire River was the second technique of the Fire Emperor Sword Technique, even more powerful than the Fire Mountain. It burned at a higher temperature, arriving before the Left Guardian instantly and engulfing his body in flames.
The Left Guardian fell into the ma.s.sive river of flames as he screamed out in pain. He struggled to escape, but the fire river pulled him in with all its might, trapping him inside.
Ahhhhh!!!
The Left Guardian cried out in misery as the red flames burned through his feet, then his legs, then his abdomen, and finally his chest, leaving behind only his head.
His eyes were filled with disbelief, hatred, and regret, but it was all too late. A moment later, the Left Guardian"s head was torched into ashes as well, disappearing into nothingness.
The surrounding self-cultivators all stood there, their jaws dropped and their eyes wide open. Their faces were pale, and their bodies were shaking. Someone of them even fell to the ground from fear.
"Too scary. How can Qingfeng Li be so strong? His Fire River killed the Left Guardian instantly!"
"Yeah! His fire contains such a high temperature that even the Left Guardian couldn"t defend against it."
"The Left Guardian is a Spirit Emperor Realm master, and he was still no match for Qingfeng. Qingfeng is probably the strongest self-cultivator now."
The surrounding self-cultivators all voiced their opinions, gasping at Qingfeng Li"s strength. Their eyes were full of shock, admiration, fear, and all sorts of different emotions.
Qingfeng Li first killed the Sword-Emperor Sect"s Third Elder, and now he finished the Blade-Emperor Sect"s Third Elder and the Beast-Emperor Sect"s Left Guardian. His capabilities shocked everyone, and no one dared to get in his way.
They all moved to the sides, making way for Qingfeng Li as they were too afraid to cross him.
Qingfeng Li walked towards the small black tree, reaching out his hands to pick the Saint Peris.h.i.+ng Fruit.
Shoo!
Suddenly, the small black tree dodged Qingfeng"s hands, jumping into the air and flying away.
Qingfeng Li was shocked. He never thought he would drop the ball at the very end.
"Saint Peris.h.i.+ng Tree! Where do you think you"re going?! Stop!" With a loud roar, Qingfeng Li launched himself into the air and chased after the Saint Peris.h.i.+ng Tree.
Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, and the members of the Wolf Fang Team followed behind him immediately.
As for the other self-cultivators, their jaws all dropped at the sight of the running tree.
"Qingfeng Li is finally gone. What a relief!" A short-haired female self-cultivator wiped away the sweat from her forehead.
"Little Li, remember, don"t ever cross Qingfeng Li."
"Elder brother, I wouldn"t cross him even if you didn"t remind me. Qingfeng Li is currently the number one master within the entire self-cultivation world. Why would I get in his way? I"m too busy being happy for him." The female self-cultivator had stars in her eyes.
At the sound of her words, her older brother tapped her forehead and said, "Sister, stop drooling. Although you"re quite pretty, Qingfeng Li"s way out of your league."
"Don"t hit my head. Even if Qingfeng Li is out of my league, I can still admire him, right?" Clearly, the short-haired female self-cultivator was Qingfeng"s die-hard fan.
Although Qingfeng was far away, he still heard the female self-cultivator"s words thanks to his incredible hearing. He was so speechless that he almost fell from the sky.
Black Puppy arrived beside Qingfeng Li. Its dog ears were incredibly sharp as well.
"Qingfeng, there"s a female self-cultivator back there who is drooling because of you. She said she likes you. Why don"t you turn back and give her a chance?" Black Puppy glanced at Qingfeng Li teasingly.
At the sound of Black Puppy"s voice, Qingfeng Li immediately smacked it across its head, leaving a big b.u.mp on its head.
"Why did you hit me? I"m saying this for your benefit!" Black Puppy rolled its eyes in anger.
Qingfeng Li furrowed his brows and said, "This is not the time for that. We need to catch the Saint Peris.h.i.+ng Tree and grab the Saint Peris.h.i.+ng Fruit. There is no time for horsing around. If you keep joking around, I will send you flying."
Black Puppy scrunched its nose and shut its mouth. Channeling its vital essence, Black Puppy sprung forward at full speed.
The small black tree ran in the front, its speed as fast as lightning, das.h.i.+ng through the air and leaving behind rays of black shadow. Qingfeng and the others chased behind the small black tree, and, although they were very fast, they were still left far behind.
Not only was the small black tree moving quickly, it was also constantly changing directions, flying up and down and zig-zagging like a human being.
It was as if the small black tree possessed a human intelligence. Every time the people came close to catching it, the tree changed directions, infuriating Qingfeng Li and the others.
The skies of the second layer of h.e.l.l should be dark and cold, but Qingfeng Li suddenly picked up a glimmer of starlight. The light dazzled, enchanting as could be. It was as if he could faintly catch the sound of an immortal reading a chant from that light source.
Black Puppy reached out its paw and pointed forward. It exclaimed, "That"s the Immortal Sutra! The small black tree is headed towards the Immortal Sutra!"
Qingfeng Li"s brows furrowed at the realization of where the small tree was headed. It was running in the direction of the Immortal Sutra as if the two were somehow connected.
The small black tree flashed across the sky, landing beside the Immortal Sutra instantly. Qingfeng Li followed as well.
But in the next moment, Qingfeng Li"s mood was dampened as he saw numerous people standing next to the Immortal Sutra.
