Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
Having dealt with Wan Duzi and the others, Fenglong sheathed his long sword and continued flying toward the core.
Not far away, Luo Ningshuang took all of this in with her eyes.
A trace of shock flashed across her peerlessly beautiful face.
She truly had not expected that Fenglong's strength was actually this formidable; Wan Duzi, also at Foundation Establishment Late Stage, was unexpectedly unable to withstand a single blow before him.
A peerless genius like this, if he could join the Huang Quan Alliance, would inevitably cause the Huang Quan Alliance's younger generation's strength to greatly increase, and might even influence the layout of the entire Tianyuan Realm.
She took a deep breath, tidied her moonlight silk skirt, and quickly caught up.
……
……
After half a double-hour, Fenglong arrived at the secret realm core.
This was a massive mountain peak, its entire body composed of purple thunder pattern rock.
At the summit, there was a huge circular platform, surrounded by nine stone pillars carved with thunder beast patterns.
Light flowed over the stone pillars, emitting an ancient aura.
In the center of the platform, there was a purple vortex.
Within the vortex, a tiny figure could be faintly seen.
Fenglong's gaze fell on that figure, and his pupils involuntarily contracted.
This was a strange beast covered entirely in purple scales.
It looked not large; it should be in its juvenile stage.
A pair of small horns grew on its head, the horns pale gold, with purple lightning coiling around them.
A pair of eyes like purple gems, lively yet deep, as if they could see through a person's heart.
Four limbs short, claws pale gold.
When it moved, it left behind twisting electric arcs.
Behind it was a small tail, covered in purple down; the down fluttered in the wind, carrying fine fragments of thunder light, occasionally making "crackle" sounds.
It exuded a rich thunder power — it was actually a thunder qilin cub!
The thunder qilin is an ancient strange beast, controlling the power of thunder; its strength is formidable when mature.
For a Foundation Establishment cultivator, obtaining a thunder qilin cub not only equals gaining a partner with limitless potential, but also allows one to borrow its thunder power to improve cultivation.
Even during breakthroughs, one would receive a certain air luck blessing — truly heaven-defying!
"Thunder qilin cub!"
Luo Ningshuang also saw the thing on the platform; her moonlight silk skirt fluttered in the wind, and a trace of wild joy flashed across her peerlessly beautiful face.
【33】 She had not expected to actually encounter a thunder qilin cub here; this is a treasure countless times more precious than a thunder marrow crystal core.
She didn't expect to encounter a Thunder Qilin Cub here; this is a treasure countless times more precious than a Thunder Marrow Crystal Core.
As long as she could pull Fenglong into the Huang Quan Alliance, and then obtain this thunder qilin cub, her status within the Huang Quan Alliance would inevitably rise in a straight line.
Just at this moment, the sound of air being torn came from all around.
Zhao Jie, Wang Lei, and several other survivors all rushed to the core area.
Zhao Jie's sinister eyes now stared dead at the thunder qilin cub on the platform, endless greed surging in his pupils: "It's actually a thunder qilin cub!
With it, I can quickly break through to Foundation Establishment Late Stage, and even receive Senior Brother Lei Yuan's focused cultivation; from then on my future will be limitless!"
Wang Lei's eyes were full of longing: "If I get it, I'll leap to become the Danding Sect's outstanding talent, and never have to look at anyone's face again!"
Two others had deep, restrained auras, clearly of extraordinary origin.
They were respectively Heavenly Blade Sect's Zhang Kuang and Blazing Fire Sect's Yan Hao.
Zhang Kuang wore black robes, twenty-eight years old, Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivation.
His figure was burly, features rugged; a long saber scar ran across his left face, extending from forehead to chin, looking quite ferocious.
Eyes fierce, a massive black long blade strapped to his back.
Yan Hao wore red robes, flames embroidered on the robe, twenty-five years old, Foundation Establishment Middle Stage cultivation.
Figure tall and straight, bearing unruly, scorching fire aura radiating from his whole body.
Seeing the thunder qilin cub, both revealed undisguised greed in their eyes.
Fenglong took in everyone's reactions, coldly laughing in his heart: "This thunder qilin cub truly makes everyone lose their composure.
Pity I am determined to have it; no one can snatch it away!"
Zhao Jie was the first to recover, then looked at Fenglong, a trace of viciousness flashing in his eyes, immediately replaced by a fawning smile: "Junior Brother Feng, this thunder qilin cub is too precious; one person's strength alone cannot subdue it.
Why don't you and I join forces, first seize the thunder qilin cub, then talk?"
He calculated in his heart: first join forces with Fenglong, drive away or kill the rest.
Then ambush Fenglong, claim the greatest opportunity for himself.
Once Fenglong dies, with Senior Brother Lei Yuan backing me, no one will pursue responsibility.
What's more, this Junior Brother Feng has offended everyone, already becoming the target of all arrows.
Fenglong's tone remained arrogant to the extreme: "You're also worthy of joining forces with me?"
Zhao Jie's smile froze on his face, a trace of resentment surging in his sinister eyes: "Junior Brother Feng, you truly don't know what's good for you."
Outside, I gave you plenty of face.
Didn't expect you to actually be so ungrateful.
Before Fenglong could react, Zhao Jie immediately looked at the others: "Fellow cultivators, this Fenglong is arrogant and overbearing, attempting to monopolize the opportunity, and doesn't take any of us seriously at all."
Why not eliminate him first, then each rely on our own strength to fight for the Thunder Qilin Cub?"
"And once this scoundrel dies, spirit tools like the Zidian Fen Guang Sword and Lei Ze Armor can be used for trade!"
Hearing this, Wang Lei felt both fear and greed in his heart, and finally could not resist the temptation of the Thunder Qilin Cub, gritting his teeth and making up his mind: "Let's do it!"
"A group of us joining forces, can we still not defeat him?"
They knew Fenglong's strength was formidable, and once a battle began, people would surely die.
But the temptation of the Thunder Qilin Cub and Thunder Marrow Crystal Core was simply too great, great enough to risk it.
At this moment, Zhang Kuang of the Heavenly Blade Sect stepped forward, his burly figure especially eye-catching; he patted the black long blade on his back and said in a fierce tone: "I've long found him displeasing to the eye; let's join forces first."
"As for the Thunder Qilin Cub, we'll fight for it by strength then!"
Yan Hao of the Blazing Fire Sect also chimed in: "Correct!"
"Join forces to kill him!"
"Fenglong, you must die today!"
A hint of smugness flashed in Zhao Jie's eyes: "Junior Brother Feng, this is what you asked for!"
As soon as the words fell, thunder power surged violently all over his body.
The thunder patterns on the green robe lit up rapidly, and a green long sword suddenly appeared in his hand, its blade covered with intricate patterns—it was the spirit tool Green Thunder Sword.
After speaking, whether to set an example or to serve as a gesture of allegiance, he did not know.
He was the first to charge at Fenglong; the Green Thunder Sword in his hand made a "Zila" sound, shooting out a terrifying green sword qi, showing no mercy from the very first strike.
Seeing this, Zhang Kuang flashed his figure, decisively drew the black long blade on his back; the blade glowed with black light, carrying a savage aura, and slashed toward Fenglong.
Yan Hao formed hand seals with both hands; the flame patterns on the red robe lit up, and strands of red fire qi, like fire snakes, densely swarmed toward Fenglong.
Wang Lei and the others also acted one after another, various arts pouring toward Fenglong.
Only Luo Ningshuang remained motionless, seemingly not intending to get involved.
Seeing this, Fenglong not only showed no fear, but instead revealed a sinister smile.
Spiritual power surged within his body; he waved the Zidian Fen Guang Sword in his hand, and a ten-zhang-long purple sword qi, carrying terrifying thunder power, tore through the air.
This strike's power surpassed all xiuxian zhe of the same realm.
Boom!
The purple sword qi collided with everyone's attacks, emitting a deafening loud noise.
The violent energy transformed into an energy shockwave spreading out, shattering the surrounding rocks.
Several Foundation Establishment Early Stage xiuxian zhe could not withstand it at all, instantly flying backward.
One after another, they spat fresh blood, their breaths faint, losing their combat ability on the spot!
