Chapter 71: Wind Wing Demon Harassment

Cry!

In the high sky, the silhouette of the Wind Wing Demon blotted out the sun.

At noon, the mountain cave that should have been bright was shrouded by this huge shadow, plunging into a terrifying darkness.

Within the defensive formation, Gu Xiaoxiao's expression was grave; she tried to contact Lu Chen and her sister via a transmission talisman, but the Wind Wing Demon blocked her with some means.

This wretched beast! It actually dared to come here!

Not far away in the sky, Lu Chen and the four women stood in midair.

Because of that distinctive blue hue on the Wind Wing Demon's wing tip, Lu Chen had a deep memory of it.

This Wind Wing Demon is precisely the one from the burial ground back then.

Long ago, he had heard Su Qian say that the Wind Wing Demon bears grudges fiercely; once a grudge is formed, it pursues vengeance to the death.

It must be resentful because of the earlier incident where its beast blood was taken.

Moreover, the sect possessed the Protecting Sect Grand Formation, so it could only endure in silence until Lu Chen brought Gu Xiaoxiao here.

Fortunately, we arrived in time.

Lu Chen's eyes turned cold as he patted the mount beneath him, Wang Cai.

Wang Cai seemed to understand his intent; after setting the few people down, a layer of violent crimson lightning instantly surged around its body.

Its already imposing figure looked even more domineering amidst the lightning.

"Howl!" It let out a long, skyward roar, the sound wave carrying pressure as it swept toward the Wind Wing Demon.

Although it was only at the Fifth Stage, while the Wind Wing Demon had already reached the Sixth Stage as a demonic beast.

But demonic beasts esteem bloodline; with the bloodline of the Red Thunder Beast, it feared the Wind Wing Demon not at all!

Struck by this sound wave, the Wind Wing Demon's massive body swayed in midair, and its eyes, originally filled with killing intent, flickered with a moment of surprise.

It too had cultivated as a demonic beast in Perfected Land for hundreds or even thousands of years, yet it had never felt such a fierce bloodline pressure as today.

Wang Cai gave it no time to react; its four hooves struck the void, and its form turned into lightning, instantly rushing to the Wind Wing Demon's front.

Wherever its form passed, even the air was violently distorted, as if a blazing sun hung high, with heat waves rising.

"Wang Cai has actually grown even more during this time; no wonder it's a high‑bloodline demonic beast."

Seeing this, Lu Chen's eyes filled with delight.

Beside him, Su Qian and Qin Yan, who had been about to act, also halted their movements.

Su Qian's face showed little surprise, after all she had helped capture Wang Cai.

But Qin Yan's expression was different.

She stared fixedly at Wang Cai, her eyes blazing with an intense fervor.

A few days earlier, she had heard that the Heaven Demon Sect had produced a rare demonic beast.

While most people only wanted to kill it for materials, she thought of taming it.

But hindered by her current realm not yet broken through, she could not leave the sect at all.

Later, through sect disciples, she learned that the Red Thunder Beast had disappeared.

At that time, she still thought it had died, and she was deeply grieved over it.

As it turned out, however, it had actually been subdued by Lu Chen.

"No wonder I had to come to the Magic Skill Pavilion that day."

Qin Yan glanced thoughtfully at Lu Chen.

Seeing his calm expression, she sensed he was quite confident about this demonic beast contest.

"This Red Thunder Beast is extraordinarily proud; I don't know how he managed to tame it."

"Whoosh!"

After Wang Cai and the Wind Wing Demon had exchanged several blows, the latter suddenly flapped its wings, whipping up a fierce wind that blotted out the sky.

The next moment, its figure had already flown several li away.

At first, relying on its Sixth‑Stage strength, despite its bloodline being inferior to Wang Cai's, it utterly disregarded its opponent.

Not to mention now, turning tail and fleeing like this.

But just after it briefly clashed with Wang Cai, its gaze inadvertently fell on Su Qian and Qin Yan not far away.

Just one glance, and it felt a chill rise in its heart.

With a Ning Shen Late Stage cultivator plus a Cave Heaven Realm expert added, its self‑preservation instinct instantly gained the upper hand, so it chose to flee without hesitation.

"Wang Cai!"

Lu Chen shouted loudly.

The next instant, Wang Cai's form erupted, and in a flash it caught up to the fleeing Wind Wing Demon.

Although the opponent had wings, Wang Cai's thunderous power was still superior.

Seeing that the Wind Wing Demon could not escape, Lu Chen no longer paid attention; he glanced at Gu Xiangxiang, then pulled her down to the ground and came before the formation.

"Sister! Lu Chen!"

Gu Xiaoxiao saw the two figures and forced back the tears at the corners of her eyes.

"As long as you're safe, that's good."

Seeing Lu Chen dispel the formation, Gu Xiangxiang immediately stepped forward and embraced her sister.

When she was first abducted to Perfected Land, she had sworn never to let her sister come to harm.

Lu Chen did not disturb the sisters as they caught up; after standing there a while, he turned his gaze toward the two streams of light in the distance.

The red and blue streams of light collided several times; clearly the red one had the edge.

As time passed, the blue stream's escape speed grew slower and slower, until it finally vanished into the distant sky.

Not long after, the red stream streaked across the horizon, heading toward Lu Chen's location, and Wang Cai's silhouette gradually became clear.

It held in its mouth the huge, already lifeless corpse of the Wind Wing Demon.

Because its body was a bit smaller than the opponent's, its appearance was quite cute.

"Plop," it flung the corpse heavily in front of Lu Chen, its expression proud, as if seeking credit from Lu Chen.

Since the master-servant contract was first established, Fortune has felt its body affected by a strange power.

After all, it is a rare demonic beast with extremely strong spirituality; it soon discovered that even without diligent cultivation, its cultivation realm would gradually grow stronger over time.

And this power indeed comes from Lu Chen.

"Well done!" Lu Chen stepped forward, raising his hand to pet Fortune's fluffy yet slightly prickly head, his eyes full of admiration.

"The Demonic Reverse Beast Raising Technique really works! Not long has passed, and your strength has risen another level."

The Beast Taming Technique, after the system's reversal, yields a vastly greater improvement compared to ordinary techniques.

Previously, the technique needed daily essence blood to aid the beast tamer's improvement; now it works as long as no essence blood is fed, still aiding the beast tamer's improvement.

This also directly saves him a great deal of resources.

Gazing at the ten-zhang-tall corpse of the Wind Wing Demon beside him, Lu Chen fell silent for a moment.

The Wind Wing Demon has many valuable parts: its blood, bones, including the wings behind it, and even its claws are all very valuable.

The sixth-rank beast core within its body is also an excellent material.

"Fortune, you made the biggest contribution this time—take the beast core and eat it."

He dug the beast core out of the Wind Wing Demon's corpse and casually tossed it to Fortune.

Qin Yan, standing nearby, stared wide-eyed at the scene.

Before she broke through to the Cave Heaven, she didn't have many sixth-rank beast cores.

As a result, Lu Chen simply tossed it to the beast tamer to eat.

Just as she wondered how Lu Chen would handle the remaining corpse,

Lu Chen then took out a demonic tool and quickly sliced the corpse into bone and meat.

After storing the beast blood separately, he suddenly looked at her:

"Qin Yan, there's too much demon beast meat to carry; summon your beast tamer to share in eating it."
