Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

"Hey, Lord Li..."

Qin Feng anxiously reached out to call.

That Black Robed Daoist clearly had a problem, seemingly using the two of them as bait to deliberately lure Li Tianchou over.

He wanted to warn Li Tianchou, but unfortunately, due to the severe pain in his internal organs, he hadn't recovered until now. So his movements were a bit slow, and before his voice could be heard, Li Tianchou had already chased the Black Robed Daoist far away.

"I hope nothing goes wrong."

Qin Feng shook his head helplessly.

Li Tianchou was a ninth-level Foundation Establishment Sword Cultivator. Generally, he shouldn't encounter any problems.

But that Black Robed Daoist had set up an array trap in this forest. Since he knew Li Tianchou's reputation and still wanted to lure him over, he obviously had confidence in dealing with him.

Once Li Tianchou was killed by that Black Robed Daoist, he and Qin Yang, and even everyone who came tonight, could possibly be killed by this Daoist.

The Black Robed Daoist rode the black wind with lightning speed. In just a few breaths, he returned to the array he had set up earlier, plunging into the black mist surrounding the array.

Seeing this, Li Tianchou was shocked and quickly stopped.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he looked towards the black mist.

He saw the Black Robed Daoist already flying onto an altar within the array, brandishing the Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner, releasing strands of Yin Evil Qi, augmenting the array's power.

At the same time, he saw Zhao Jinglei and others huddled together in fear, relying on the Nine Heavens Thunder Light Shield, a top-tier Spiritual Artifact on Zhao Jinglei, to fend off the ghost attacks in the Yin Evil mist.

The Nine Heavens Thunder Light Shield was a top-tier Spiritual Artifact personally crafted by the Ancestor of the Zhao Family for Zhao Jinglei's protection. Its offensive power was amazing, and when used defensively, it could transform into a barrier to protect the user.

Unfortunately, even though Zhao Jinglei had consumed multiple elixir pills to restore his spiritual power, after such a long period of attrition, his spiritual power was almost exhausted. If not for the assistance of several other Zhao family members with their spiritual power, he would have been unable to hold on long ago.

Even so, they had reached their limit, and at any moment, their spiritual power could be completely drained. Once the Thunder Light Shield could no longer hold, they would undoubtedly die, their souls refined into fierce ghosts by the Black Robed Daoist.

Seeing this, Li Tianchou couldn't help but feel anxious.

He didn't care about the lives of Zhao Jinglei and the others, but he couldn't let them die in front of him.

Thinking of this, Li Tianchou could no longer concern himself with anything else. With a flash of his figure, he rushed directly into the array, heading to kill the Black Robed Daoist.

As long as he killed that Evil Cultivator and broke the array, Zhao Jinglei and the others' crisis would naturally be resolved.

"Hehehe..."

Seeing that Li Tianchou had indeed entered his array as expected, the Black Robed Daoist let out a sinister laugh of satisfaction.

"I was worried that the souls of these juniors were too weak, lacking a main soul. Now, a Foundation Establishment cultivator has delivered himself to me. Good, very good indeed."

The Black Robed Daoist's face was filled with excitement. "Since you've entered my array, don't think of leaving. Obediently offer your soul to assist me in refining this Magical Treasure.

As long as I successfully refine it this time, I guarantee Daoist longevity."

Amidst his wild laughter, the Black Robed Daoist waved his Long Banner, sending a vast and chilling wave of Yin Evil Qi towards Li Tianchou.

In the Yin Qi, countless ghostly silhouettes emerged, clawing and baring their fangs, charging towards Li Tianchou.

"Hmph, petty tricks dare to show off!"

Li Tianchou sneered, "Daluo Sword Technique, Daluo Magic Sword, Ghost Slaying and Demon Suppressing, go!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the flying sword behind him suddenly expanded, transforming into a ten-foot-long Sword Qi, sweeping horizontally, cutting through the Yin Qi and killing the fierce ghosts.

Following his sword technique, the ten-foot Sword Qi divided into hundreds and thousands, like a vast net covering the area.

However, these fierce ghosts were refined from the Evil Cultivator's Ten Thousand Ghosts Banner. As long as the banner remained intact, it could continuously consume Yin Qi to produce these fierce ghosts.

Moreover, among these ghostly entities, eight fierce ghosts had Foundation Establishment cultivation, although they seemed to be in the early to mid Foundation Establishment stage. Without Ghost Path Magical Artifacts, they could only condense Ghost Dao Techniques with their own ghostly energy to confront the enemy.

But dealing with so many Foundation Establishment fierce ghosts at once was challenging even for someone as powerful as Li Tianchou.

Furthermore, the ghosts were assisted by the Yin Evil Formation, making them even stronger and more agile within the Yin Evil Qi, to the point that Li Tianchou knit his brows tightly.

And the Black Robed Daoist didn't remain idle either. He repeatedly launched the White Bone Heart-Locking Hammer while secretly releasing three White Bone Heart Execution Needles. This treasure, once released, was silent and stealthy, perfect for sneak attacks.

Li Tianchou, already struggling to fend off the ghostly assaults and the powerful strikes of the White Bone Heart-Locking Hammer, was caught off guard by the White Bone Heart Execution Needle, which injured his left leg.

"Mph..."

A muffled grunt sounded as Li Tianchou gritted his teeth against the pain, using True Yuan to seal the wound to prevent excessive blood loss.

He was startled, realizing that this old Daoist was quite difficult to deal with. He no longer held him in contempt and decided to go all out.

Although he wanted to kill the Black Robed Daoist and save Zhao Jinglei and the others, he didn't foresee that Zhao Jinglei, upon seeing Li Tianchou coming to their rescue, would feel relieved, thinking that with Li Tianchou's help, their lives would no longer be in danger.

As a result, the spiritual power that Zhao Jinglei had been struggling to maintain suddenly dissipated, leaving him feeling utterly empty inside. His body went limp, and he collapsed to the ground.

Without his control, the Nine Heavens Thunder Light Shield's spirit light dimmed and fell to the ground.

"Ah..."

Several Zhao family members exclaimed in shock.

Someone even shouted loudly, "Li Tianchou, Lord Li, please come and save us."

Li Tianchou turned his head, almost spitting blood in frustration.

These useless people, can't they hold on a bit longer? I haven't killed that Evil Cultivator yet, and they are already putting away the Spiritual Artifact?

But even if he wanted to help, he couldn't.

With so many fierce ghosts surrounding him and the Evil Cultivator's occasional sneak attacks, if he turned to save them, he wouldn't be able to protect them and would risk his own life.

"Hold on yourselves."

He angrily shouted at them, then focused back on his enemies.

After all, most of the ghostly entities were already attracted to him. Even if Zhao Jinglei and the others were invaded by Yin Evil Qi or possessed by a few little ghosts, they wouldn't die immediately. At most, some of their Yang Qi would be absorbed.

Although it would harm their vitality, there was no other way. They could take it as a lesson to prevent future careless outings.

However, the more he fought, the more shocked he became.

If it were just the old Daoist alone, he wouldn't be afraid. But now trapped in the array and surrounded by numerous fierce ghosts, he couldn't even harm the old Daoist. Under these circumstances, breaking the array and saving people seemed impossible; even escaping himself was uncertain.

In the distance, Qin Feng, holding onto a nearby tree, stood up straight and looked far ahead.

Unfortunately, his cultivation was shallow. Even channeling his spiritual power to his eyes, he couldn't see through the distant darkness and naturally didn't know Li Tianchou's situation.

At this moment, the sound of something tearing through the air came from behind them.

"Seventh Uncle, we're here."

Qin Yang, with sharp eyes, spotted Qin Long, who was riding the Green-Eyed Spirit Snake, and quickly called out.

Hearing the voice, Qin Long lightly tapped his foot. The Green-Eyed Spirit Snake gracefully turned its body and flew towards them.

"How are you, are you alright?"

Before the Green-Eyed Spirit Snake landed, Qin Long had already leaped off, landing in front of them. Seeing his son's pale face devoid of blood, his expression changed, and he asked nervously, "Are you hurt?"

"It's nothing serious, dad."

Qin Feng felt a wave of warmth in his heart and quickly said, "I just got bumped earlier, causing some internal blood disruption. With a few days of rest, I'll be fine."

Qin Long grabbed his wrist, probing his son's body with True Yuan. Discovering it was only a minor injury, he sighed in relief and then angrily said, "That Li Tianchou has such audacity, making my son be a scout for him.

Hmph, if anything happened to Feng, did he think I couldn't deal with him?"

"Forget it, dad, now is not the time to be angry."

Qin Feng quickly persuaded, "Lord Li was lured into a trap by that Evil Cultivator and got caught. Can you see if you can rescue him? If not..."

He didn't finish, but Qin Long understood the unspoken meaning.

If Li Tianchou couldn't be rescued, Qin Long alone wouldn't stand a chance against the Evil Cultivator, so it was best to take his son and Qin Yang and leave quickly to avoid a massacre.

"I understand. You two stay here and don't run around."

Qin Long instructed, ensuring they stayed put to avoid being lost if they had to escape.

Then Qin Long leapt onto the Green-Eyed Spirit Snake's back, heading towards the mist ahead.

When he reached the mist, Qin Long did not recklessly enter the array like Li Tianchou. Instead, he carefully observed, quickly recognizing the origins of the Yin Evil Formation.

Then, he patted the snake's body beneath him.

Feeling his intention, the Green-Eyed Spirit Snake's emerald eyes shot out two thick green beams, piercing through the Yin Evil Qi, extending from Li Tianchou's position to the altar at the array's center.
