Chapter 129: Good Fortune, Suitable for Eating Chicken
Yu Qingtan leaned on the Luoyu Sword, her cheeks flushed red, and her eyes gradually grew hazy.
Just as Pang Hui smugly drew near, ready to enjoy a human-wolf spectacle, Yu Qingtan's eyes suddenly cleared, and in a flash, she appeared beside him, resting the Luoyu Sword against his neck.
At the same time, she launched a Decay and Flourish Technique at Pang Hui and the Silver Thread Beast on his head.
"You... How are you unaffected?"
Pang Hui trembled as he asked, being only at mid-Foundation Establishment, he began to age under the Decay and Flourish Technique, his hair turning white in an instant.
The Silver Thread Beast on his head let out a strange cry and, struggling contortedly, turned into lifeless white hair, its vitality gone.
As a creature with poor offense and defense, and merely being at the mid-Second Stage, the reason Pang Hui was still alive was mainly that Qing Tan had held back.
"Take off your armor!"
Yu Qingtan was in a terrible mood, never expecting to play out the story of "The Farmer and the Viper" herself.
Had it not been for her perfected Purification Spell and Soul Cleansing Technique, she might have actually fallen for his scheme.
"I'll take it off right away. Spare my life, fellow cultivator, spare me! I was just momentarily bewitched."
Pang Hui stripped off his armor, begging for mercy.
Yu Qingtan sealed Pang Hui's cultivation level, pulled off his Storage Bag, used the Purification Spell to treat the lust poison on Silly Wolf Xiao Tao, and had him carry Pang Hui and the armor.
"Princess, this man is so detestable, why not let me tear him to shreds?"
Xiao Tao bared his teeth at Pang Hui, although in his heart he did have feelings for Qing Tan that transcended species.
"You'll understand later."
Yu Qingtan revealed a wicked smile.
The two continued on their way and soon encountered a group of five Rogue Rabbits.
Yu Qingtan used the Decay and Flourish Technique to rejuvenate Pang Hui a bit and fed him ten Golden Spear Pills, then used the Object Controlling Technique to toss him in front of those Rogue Rabbits.
Soon, the sounds of pitiful screams and curses towards Qing Tan could be heard.
"This is what they call turning the tables on someone with their own tricks."
Xiao Tao watched Yu Qingtan's sinister smile and shuddered.
After the screaming ceased, Yu Qingtan made a move and wiped out the group of Rogue Rabbits.
To her surprise, what dropped was a usable Storage Bag.
"Finally don't have to carry the Luoyu Sword. Although it looks cool, it's really heavy."
Just as they were about to move on, the sky in the distance suddenly darkened.
Yu Qingtan commanded the Luoyu Sword to fly ten zhang high, only to see dense black fog spreading towards them, a sight that sent chills down her spine.
The reason they only flew ten zhang high was due to some form of sky-restricting formation that seemed to prevent them from climbing higher.
"Even the poisonous circle is here, indeed this is similar to a certain survival game from my previous life."
Yu Qingtan was speechless, and quickly led Xiao Tao away from the direction the black fog was spreading.
...
"Pfft~"
The Luoyu Sword pierced the neck of a mid-Second Stage Rogue Rabbit. As Yu Qingtan was using the Object Controlling Technique to collect a fallen box, four high-quality Second Stage spirit swords suddenly darted up from the ground and, swirling around, formed a mysterious array that ensnared both Yu Qingtan and Xiao Tao.
The praying mantis stalks the cicada, but the oriole lies in wait. Little did she expect that these few Rogue Rabbits were bait set by someone else.
She didn't recognize this sword array, but sensing its power, she knew it far exceeded the attack strength of a normal cultivator at the late stage of Foundation Establishment.
She immediately raised her cultivation level to the late stage of Foundation Establishment and cast several layers of Water Curtain Technique on herself and Xiao Tao.
The sharp qi of the swords hacked away at the water curtains, shattering one layer after another, but each time a new layer quickly formed in its stead.
Nearby, under the ground, a short-haired young cultivator also felt rather frustrated.
His name was Fang Xiangming, an outer sect disciple of the Golden Core level Sword Array Sect. His talent was not high, but he had cultivated up to the late stage of Foundation Establishment through some underhanded methods.
Ultimately restricted by his innate ability, he resolved to take a risk in the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm, making his way to the fifth layer of Thousand Beasts Mountain.
He quickly understood the situation and then decided to ambush other people.
It wasn't that he couldn't beat the Rogue Rabbit, but hunting cultivators was more cost-effective.
He had already succeeded several times, but he didn't expect this female cultivator's Water Curtain Technique to be so formidable, withstanding the attack of the Four Symbols Sword Formation.
To avoid any unnecessary complications, Fang Xiangming commanded his spirit beast, the Stink Mink, to release poison gas within the Sword Array.
"Found you!"
Yu Qingtan, who had been observing with the Blue Clear Spiritual Pupil Technique, was thrilled to have found him. The opponent had been hiding all along, but she spotted him when he sent the Stink Mink into the Sword Array.
Right beneath the ground on one side of the Sword Array.
She took out the Roaming Zither and directed a full-force Second Stage Devil's Penetrating Sound spell toward that direction, while simultaneously launching an extremely compressed Water Blade at the Sword Array.
As for the mere poison gas, it hadn't yet penetrated through the Water Curtain. Even if it did, she wasn't worried with the Purification Spell at her fingertips.
At that moment, Fang Xiangming only felt a buzzing in his head and his soul shaking, almost losing consciousness.
"This is a Second Stage Soul Attack spell. How can she perform so many powerful spells simultaneously!"
Realizing this, Fang Xiangming had to fully contend with the soul attack of the Devil's Penetrating Sound.
With Fang Xiangming no longer in control, the Four Symbols Sword Formation lost much of its potency and was dispersed by Yu Qingtan's Water Blade.
Immediately afterward, Yu Qingtan launched a sweeping attack of the Water Blade Technique in the direction where Fang Xiangming was located.
Fang Xiangming, already in a dazed state, was reduced to nothing, his spirit beast, the Stink Mink, perishing alongside him.
"Princess is mighty!"
Xiao Tao said with flattery, feeling somewhat disappointed in his heart.
Yu Qingtan was too strong, and he felt his own awakened bloodline divine skills might only be good for a supporting role.
After collecting the spoils of battle, Yu Qingtan quickly left the area.
The poison circle was getting smaller, and Yu Qingtan had slaughtered quite a few Rogue Rabbits and eliminated six cultivators.
They were the ones who made the first move.
Two of them used a Teleportation Talisman to leave the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm, but Yu Qingtan had not exposed too much of her abilities.
Eventually, the poison circle left only a hundred-zhang safety zone.
Yu Qingtan inspected the black fog up close and discovered it was Black Sha Poison—something even Golden Core cultivators would find troublesome.
However, the Black Sha Poison had no effect on the Rogue Rabbits and plants within the Rogue Forest.
Among the equipment dropped by the Rogue Rabbits and cultivators, she found a Spirit Beast Pouch and put Xiao Tao inside, then used the Breath-Concealing Technique and Earth Escape Skill to go into hiding.
Lying low was the essence of claiming victory.
It was silent within the hundred-zhang area; however, a sleazy middle-aged man in a grey robe walked into the safe zone from the Black Sha Poison.
"Gugu~ Gugu~"
The middle-aged man made the sound of a Rogue Rabbit, and the sound waves spread.
It turned out to be a Third Stage Rogue Rabbit currently utilizing its Innate Divine Ability, the Howl of Desire.
Yu Qingtan suddenly felt a heat all over her body.
She was speechless. What was wrong with the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm? This was the third time she had experienced burning desires since entering.
She silently performed the Purification Spell and the Soul Cleansing Technique, immediately feeling calm and composed.
After the Soul Cleansing Technique was perfected, it could be used without the Soul Cleansing Melody, although the effect was greatly reduced. However, it was sufficient for the moment.
Soon, another cultivator hiding couldn't withstand it any longer, rushing out of the hiding place with red eyes.
And then he was tragically killed by the Third Stage Rogue Rabbit.
The Rogue Rabbit didn't discriminate against gender.
Eventually, two cultivators, one male and one female, died disgracefully, while five cultivators teleported out of the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm using Teleportation Talismans.
A flash of white light, and Yu Qingtan disappeared from her spot.
