Chapter 415: Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin (First Update, seeking everything)
Of course, it is also possible that it is not Cai Yangqian, but the probability of such a thing is not high.
Because the Three-Legged Fire Crow can judge the approximate strength of the opponent through their aura.
Within the entire territory surrounding Liyang City, there are only a few people who meet such strength requirements, so the possibility of a coincidence is extremely slim.
"Everyone, get ready!"
Li Zhangsheng cast the Breath Concealment Secret Technique, masking his own aura while simultaneously whispering a reminder to the Three-Legged Fire Crow and the Cold Jade Rabbit.
Several miles away, Cai Yangqian was riding a Leader-level Ice Eagle, beginning to fly into the territory of the Red Maple Forest.
The Ice Eagle possesses a Medium Commander species and a Pure Grade Ice Crystal Phoenix Bloodline; its flight speed is very fast, roughly on par with Li Zhangsheng's Crowned Flame Bird.
In the territory of the Red Maple Forest, Cai Yangqian could faintly see the outline of Liyang City.
Cai Yangqian looks kind and benevolent, with a scholarly and easygoing temperament; he is generous and appropriate in his dealings with others, giving people a feeling of being bathed in a spring breeze.
This is a Cai Clan Leader who appears easygoing on the outside but is sinister and ruthless on the inside—Cai Yangqian!
When Li Zhangsheng first saw the image of Cai Yangqian, he was also quite surprised, but his heart became even more vigilant.
The more a person is like this, the harder they often are to deal with; conversely, for those guys who look very much like bad people, people will subconsciously take appropriate precautions or keep them at a distance based on their first impression.
Three years ago, Li Zhangsheng's parents acted too high-profile, and thus Cai Yangqian discovered some clues.
Relying on his scholarly and easygoing appearance and temperament, Cai Yangqian used this to approach Li Zhangsheng's parents, and finally, at the moment they relaxed their vigilance, he struck ruthlessly, killing Li Zhangsheng's mother in one blow, severely wounding his father, and seizing their spatial items.
The only pity was that the Treasure Map was carried on the person of Li Zhangsheng's father, along with a one-time life-saving treasure obtained in the Baisheng King Secret Realm.
Relying on this one-time treasure, Li Zhangsheng's father was able to escape with his life, and before dying, he managed to return to the family to entrust the Treasure Map to Li Zhangsheng for safekeeping.
As for the other treasures obtained in the Baisheng King Secret Realm, they were either used by them or obtained by Cai Yangqian.
Among them was the Book of Bloodlines Part One.
Relying on the Book of Bloodlines and several treasures, Cai Yangqian was able to break through realms consecutively in just three years, and his combat power far exceeds that of an ordinary Fifth-tier Beastmaster.
Cai Yangqian stared at Liyang City in the distance, his brows tightly furrowed; he could be said to have returned empty-handed from this trip to Luojing Mountain, not even having figured out the opponent's identity.
He decided to investigate the other party's information after returning to the family.
At this moment, Cai Yangqian had already approached the depths of the Red Maple Forest.
Suddenly, Cai Yangqian's right eye twitched violently without any warning.
Left eye twitches for wealth, right eye twitches for disaster!
An inexplicable sense of unease welled up in Cai Yangqian's heart; Beastmasters mainly cultivate Mental Power, which is primarily aimed at the development of the senses and the subconscious.
Even if this kind of ability is very unreliable, Cai Yangqian would rather believe it exists than believe it doesn't, so he subconsciously released his Mental Power.
Cai Yangqian is a Fifth-tier Beastmaster, so the range of his released Mental Power naturally far exceeds Li Zhangsheng's, reaching at least two or three thousand meters.
It just so happened that at this very moment, Li Zhangsheng issued the order to attack.
The Three-Legged Fire Crow flew high up, like an arrow released from a bow, rushing toward Cai Yangqian at an extremely fast speed to implement the tactical policy of capturing the ringleader first.
The Cold Jade Rabbit jumped to the top of a red maple tree, and countless dense cold mists condensed, turning into a sharp-tipped Ice Pillar that pierced through the air toward the Ice Eagle.
"Not good, it's an ambush!"
The moment the Three-Legged Fire Crow charged through the air, Cai Yangqian secretly thought things were bad, but the speed of the Three-Legged Fire Crow was truly too fast, catching Cai Yangqian off guard and giving him no extra opportunity.
Instant Movement!
Seeing that the Three-Legged Fire Crow was about to get close, Cai Yangqian resolutely chose to sacrifice the rook to save the king; his figure suddenly disappeared, thereby avoiding the attack of the Three-Legged Fire Crow.
When Cai Yangqian appeared again, he had already put a distance of over a hundred meters between himself and the Ice Eagle.
It was also at this time that Li Zhangsheng activated the Dimensional Anchor Secret Technique; a tangible yet intangible pillar of light shot into the sky, completely solidifying the space within a thousand-meter radius.
At the same time, the Ice Eagle only had time to avoid its vital points before being pierced through the wing by the Ice Pillar, and countless ice-blue blood began to spill.
The Ice Eagle let out a mournful cry and then fell from the sky.
The Three-Legged Fire Crow ignored the Ice Eagle, and after changing its direction, it continued to charge toward Cai Yangqian.
With its speed and explosive power, it only needed one or two breaths of time to cross the hundred-meter space.
Cai Yangqian's large sleeves fluttered as he hovered in the air, Flying Through the Void; his expression was very ugly, and he knew in his heart that this was a premeditated ambush.
Unless Cai Yangqian left the range of the Dimensional Anchor, he would be unable to cast Instant Movement again.
Seeing the Three-Legged Fire Crow approaching rapidly, Cai Yangqian threw out a purple coffin only the size of a palm.
It is unknown what the principle was, but the purple coffin expanded rapidly; in the blink of an eye, it grew from the size of a palm to a huge purple coffin ten meters long and three meters wide.
As the Three-Legged Fire Crow approached, Cai Yangqian hurriedly rushed into the opened purple coffin.
Crack!
The coffin lid closed tightly, seamless and leaving not a single gap.
Just as the Three-Legged Fire Crow was about to collide with it, a purple flame suddenly spread out from the purple coffin, turning into a barrier that wrapped the huge purple coffin inside.
This is the Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin, which possesses powerful defensive capabilities and also has considerable flight capabilities; the flight speed is related to the rank of the Beastmaster—the higher the rank, the faster the flight speed.
Of course, if one is extravagant enough, it can also be pulled by Demon Pets to fly, just like the Dragon Horse Hall.
This Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin was originally a treasure Li Zhangsheng's parents obtained from the Baisheng King Secret Realm, but in the end, it benefited Cai Yangqian.
In the sky, the Three-Legged Fire Crow, with its whole body burning with red-and-gold flames, collided with the Purple Flame Barrier of the Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin.
Boom—
In an instant, the red-and-gold flames erupted violently, and the Purple Flame Barrier rippled intensely, but it never shattered.
Inside the Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin, dense Fire-type Demon Cores were embedded; the smallest of these cores were the size of an infant's fist, and the core was one the size of an adult's fist—this was a Demon King-level Demon Core.
At this time, these Fire-type Demon Cores were emitting red brilliance, continuously replenishing the consumed energy.
Cai Yangqian began to control the Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin to move, wanting to move out of the effective range of the Dimensional Anchor at the fastest speed.
While Cai Yangqian was dealing with the Three-Legged Fire Crow, Li Zhangsheng had already completed the summoning, calling out all his Demon Pets except for the Treasure-Seeking Mouse, the Leopard-Lin Beast, and the Giant Whale Kun.
Aixi, Kailan, the Crowned Flame Bird, Bai Tian, Hei Ye, Adai, Round-and-Rolling, the Red Dragon, the Venomous Flying Dragon, and the Light Blessing Bird.
Under Li Zhangsheng's command, Adai and Round-and-Rolling immediately pounced toward the falling Ice Eagle.
Li Zhangsheng held the Cold Jade Rabbit, rode the Crowned Flame Bird, and charged toward the Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin together with his other Demon Pets.
During the fall, because the massive ice pillar was still "embedded" in its wings, the Ice Eagle could not maintain its balance at all; it could only struggle to flap its crystal-like wings to delay the descent as much as possible.
Crack— Boom—
During the fall, the Ice Eagle landed on a large tree, using the branches' cushioning to offset part of the impact force, and finally collided with the ground.
Crack— Crack—
Just as the Ice Eagle stood up from the ground, before it could react, Yuangungun, transformed into a giant sphere, snapped two red maple trees that were in the way and slammed into the Ice Eagle head-on, sending it flying.
Squawk—
The Ice Eagle let out a miserable shriek, its Bird Beak vomiting blood, feeling as if all its muscles and bones were broken, and an intensely sharp pain surged through it.
Being crushed by Yuangungun, who had such high tonnage, was no ordinary pain for the Ice Eagle.
Yuangungun rolled over the Ice Eagle and finally crashed into a tree behind it, snapping the tree directly, only then barely coming to a stop.
Before the Ice Eagle could stand up, a massive shadow loomed over it.
Under the Ice Eagle's gaze of extreme terror, Adai extended its massive right claw, easily piercing through the Ice Eagle's body and emerging from the other side, still clutching a heart that was beating incessantly.
The heart of a bird-type Spirit Beast accounts for more than four times the body weight ratio of a human, and its heartbeat is more than twice as fast, so this Ice Eagle's heart was a full head in size.
In Adai's eyes, the Ice Eagle's decent physical defense was no different from a layer of paper.
After finishing off the Ice Eagle, seven-colored auspicious clouds appeared beneath Adai's feet, and it flew directly toward the distant Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin.
Yuangungun had it rough; it could only trot, chasing after them at its fastest speed, but it was still being left further and further behind.
Yuangungun was not Aixi; its figure was too bloated, and it simply couldn't pick up speed in terrain like a forest, so how could it catch up?
Pfft—
At the moment the Ice Eagle died, Cai Yangqian's expression changed drastically inside the Purple Flame Corpse-Hiding Coffin; he tilted his head back and spat out a mouthful of blood, and his Consciousness Sea, which had calmed down slightly, began to oscillate violently once again.
"Damn it!"
Cai Yangqian knew very well that the reason his Consciousness Sea was oscillating had everything to do with the death of the Ice Eagle.
At the same time, he was secretly shocked in his heart.
Immediately, Cai Yangqian hurriedly swallowed an Alchemical Pill the size of a Longyan, forcibly suppressing the oscillation of his Consciousness Sea.
At this moment, while suppressing his Consciousness Sea, Cai Yangqian released his Mental Power, encompassing everything within a radius of more than two thousand meters.
Among them, naturally, were Li Zhangsheng and his many Demon Pets.
At first, because of the Three-Legged Fire Crow and the Cold Jade Rabbit, Cai Yangqian subconsciously assumed the other party was a Fifth Rank or even Sixth-Rank Expert, but who would have thought the other party was only Fourth Rank.
"Wild Storm Tiger, Red Dragon, and Wild Behemoth, so it's you!"
When Cai Yangqian sensed Li Zhangsheng's Demon Pets, he finally understood, and his eyes carried a hint of excitement.
The reason was simple: Li Zhangsheng looked five parts similar to his father, Li Haocang.
Cai Yangqian could almost be certain that the key to the Baisheng King Secret Realm was very likely on the other party, including the Book of Bloodlines Part Two that he dreamed of.
The complete Book of Bloodlines had a purification rate as high as 20%, unlike his current 3%.
After sensing Li Zhangsheng's cultivation realm and what it represented, Cai Yangqian could not suppress the Greed in his heart and cast aside the thought of fleeing.
