Chapter 65

The dragon-horse was pierced directly by the blast of energy, blood streaming from its body.

"Hey..." Luo Tian just reached out to pull it, but he fell from the sky along with the dragon-horse.

Boom!

A moment later, man and horse crashed into the ground, smashing a large crater into the earth.

"Damnable thing..."

Inside the crater, Luo Tian climbed out with difficulty.

He was not injured, but his entire body was stained with the dragon-horse's blood and the dust from the ground, making him look incredibly disheveled.

Looking down, he discovered that the dragon-horse was dead beyond any hope of recovery.

"Who... who dares to ambush me?" Rage surged in Luo Tian's eyes.

His gaze flickered, and he saw light shimmering within a valley.

That direction was precisely where the blast of energy had come from.

"Is it over there?" Luo Tian said, then tapped his toes, his figure flickering as he flew toward that direction.

On the other side, inside the valley.

A giant bird was wrapped in hundreds of chains, with a massive cauldron pressing down on its back, pinning it so it could not move.

Around the giant bird, dozens of men in gray robes murmured incessantly, as if chanting scriptures.

The shackled giant bird struggled continuously, appearing to be in great pain.

"As expected of a quasi-divine beast at the 5th Stage of the Mystic Penetration Realm; three days and three nights have passed, and it still hasn't yielded! If I hadn't dodged quickly just now, that blast would have surely blown me to death!" A man wearing armor said, his face still showing lingering fear.

"Hehe, General Wu, if it weren't a divine beast of this caliber, what qualifications would it have to serve as the mount for Lord Divine Martial King?" A white-haired old man said with a chuckle, holding a chain in one hand.

General Wu glanced at the giant bird and frowned, saying, "Can this thing really be tamed?"

The old man nodded with a smile, "That is natural, General Wu, rest assured! My Hundred Beasts Sect's Spirit-Extinguishing Scripture is a top-tier taming technique! By sunset today at the latest, this fellow will become a walking corpse that only knows how to obey orders!"

General Wu nodded, "So that's how it is, then I shall trouble Sect Master Bai!"

Sect Master Bai laughed, "Serving the Divine Martial King is the honor of my Hundred Beasts Sect!"

On the other side, in front of the valley.

"This is the place. I want to see who attacked me!" Luo Tian's eyes were filled with killing intent as he prepared to walk inside.

But just at this moment...

"Stop!" A voice suddenly rang out.

Following closely, four figures appeared in front and behind, blocking Luo Tian's path.

"This valley is sealed. Idlers, leave immediately!" said the white-clothed young man in the lead.

"Move aside!" Luo Tian couldn't be bothered to pay him any mind.

"Hm? What did you say?" A chill flashed in the young man's eyes.

"Brat, our Hundred Beasts Sect and the Divine Martial King's Mansion are conducting business inside, and you dare to speak rudely to me? Hehe, very well! You don't need to leave! Since the beast needs to be fed after it's tamed, you can stay and become the beast's food!"

As he spoke, he reached out to grab Luo Tian, intending to subdue him.

However...

Bang!

His hand was gripped by Luo Tian.

"You... you actually dare to fight back? Brat, let go of me, otherwise the Hundred Beasts Sect and the Divine Martial King's Mansion will surely slaughter your entire family!" the white-clothed young man shouted sternly.

Luo Tian turned his head and looked at him with cold eyes.

"At a time like this, you still dare to say such things?" Luo Tian asked in a cold voice.

"Hmph! Why wouldn't I dare? I am working for the Divine Martial King's Mansion; do you really dare to kill me? Junior brothers, attack!" He turned his head and shouted.

Clang, clang...

The remaining three all drew their swords and pointed them at Luo Tian.

"Brat, if you're sensible, release our Senior Brother immediately! Otherwise, the consequences are something you cannot bear!" one of them said coldly.

"Consequences?" Luo Tian glanced at him and suddenly exerted force in his hand.

Pfft!

A cloud of blood mist dispersed; the man in Luo Tian's hand was crushed to death instantly.

"What? You actually dare to..."

"Good brat, you are courting death!"

Anger appeared in the eyes of the three.

Yet the next instant...

Whoosh!

Luo Tian's figure vanished from in front of the three.

When he reappeared, he was already behind them.

"Hm? Is this brat afraid?"

One disciple was somewhat puzzled.

"I don't know, but we cannot let him enter the valley. If we delay the matter, we will be punished!"

"That's right, brat, get back here!"

The three of them chased after Luo Tian.

However, they had only just turned around...

Pfft, pfft, pfft!

Blood sprayed wildly from the three of them simultaneously.

"You fellow..."

"When did..."

The three of them were filled with disbelief, not knowing when Luo Tian had struck them.

On the other side, anger surged in Luo Tian's eyes.

His right hand was clutching a withered blade of grass, and drops of blood were hanging from it, dripping down continuously. ===== CHAPTER 67 =====
