Chapter 525: Qingluan Feathers (First update, requesting everything)

Before the Dense Forest Stars ended, the Crowned Flame Bird, Adai, and other Demon Pets arrived at the battlefield one after another.

Chirp—

Accompanied by a loud, clear cry, the Crowned Flame Bird opened its sharp Bird Beak, and countless fiery red light spots converged, spraying a bucket-thick Dragon Breath from its mouth.

Meow—meow—

Baitian and Heiye each condensed a light sword about a zhang long, and the two light swords, one black and one white, slashed toward their respective targets.

Roar—

On the ground, the lightning-shrouded Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast radiated countless electric currents, which swarmed into the high sky, turning into a thunderous Storm, and countless purple-tinged golden lightning bolts struck down in unison.

The Light Blessing Bird opened its mouth to spray a bright pillar of light, the Burrowing Mouse unleashed Earth Wave, and the Young Red Dragon and Venomous Flying Dragon each sprayed a Dragon Breath, charging toward their respective targets.

These Demon Pets' ranged attacks consciously avoided their teammates, preventing friendly fire while also rapidly reaping the lives of the Xiao Clan members and Demon Pets in all directions.

"Ah!" "Ah!" "Ah!"

Under this round of attacks, five Xiao Clan members fell directly, the rest were almost all injured, many Demon Pets died, and their Consciousness Seas were in a state of shock.

"Everyone, quickly gather..."

A Xiao Clan member shouted a warning, hoping to pool everyone's strength to resist Li Zhangsheng together, rather than fighting individually as they were now.

Unfortunately, before their words could finish, Adai rode a cloud and charged over, brutally knocking away all the Demon Pets blocking its path; a shrill sound of breaking air rang out, and it clawed them into three pieces.

As for Adai itself, it also sustained some injuries, but its recovery ability was too monstrous; dealing with these "weak" Demon Pets would not pose a life-threatening danger.

Not far away, Yuangungun swung its arms and threw the Giant Whale Kun out like a weapon.

The Giant Whale Kun flew over against its will, immediately attracting quite a bit of firepower, and several energy attacks rushed toward the Giant Whale Kun one after another.

The Giant Whale Kun cursed inwardly, never expecting Yuangungun to be so scummy as to toss it out like a weapon.

At this moment, the Giant Whale Kun could only resign itself to fate, as countless water currents converged, wrapping its massive body within the flow.

Taking advantage of the moment the Giant Whale Kun attracted the firepower, Yuangungun opened its big mouth, and countless misty cold lights condensed into a thick Ice Breath, directly freezing a Xiao Clan member along with their mount, a Flying Demon Pet, into an ice sculpture.

Boom—clatter—

The ice sculpture, falling from a height of over a hundred meters, hit the ground and shattered into pieces, dead beyond any doubt.

In just a few breaths of time, the surviving Xiao Clan members were horrified to find that they had already lost more than half their number, and the rest were all in a state of mental shock, their combat power greatly diminished.

The opponent was simply too powerful, and with the advantage of a sneak attack, they had lost any possibility of a comeback in such a short time.

It was also at this moment that a Xiao Clan member could no longer bear the fear in their heart and, riding their own Flying Demon Pet, chose to break away from the group to flee alone.

With this person leading the way, other Xiao Clan members who did not want to die also acted one after another.

While the Xiao Clan members were fleeing for their lives, Aixi and the other Demon Pets launched another round of attacks, each achieving excellent results.

In an instant, Li Zhangsheng, with the Taiyin Token above his head and the Black Gold Dragon Spear in hand, flapped his milky-white wings and intercepted a Third Rank Xiao Clan member.

"Kill!"

The Third Rank Xiao Clan member shouted, and the Flying Demon Pet beneath them immediately released waves of Wind Blades, swarming toward Li Zhangsheng.

These Wind Blades cut against the Moon Brilliance barrier, causing only imperceptible ripples, still a very long way from breaking the barrier.

Li Zhangsheng swung the Black Gold Dragon Spear, and accompanied by a shrill sound of breaking air, it smashed fiercely onto the Third Rank Xiao Clan member.

Crack—

"Wah!"

Under the immense force, the Third Rank Xiao Clan member's spine was brutally smashed and broken by the Black Gold Dragon Spear, and they spat out a mouthful of blood as their consciousness plunged into eternal Darkness.

Of the more than a dozen Xiao Clan elites from before, only a mere four remained, fleeing in different directions.

Faced with a life-and-death crisis, even though they were still in a state of mental shock, they were forced to use acceleration Secret Techniques, hoping to escape with their lives.

"Pursue!"

Following Li Zhangsheng's order, Aixi, Kailan, the Crowned Flame Bird, and the Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast each took two or three Demon Pets, splitting into four groups to pursue their respective targets.

Kailan flapped its three pairs of wings, flying without a trace, like a phantom.

The Crowned Flame Bird was wrapped in flames, with a trail of fire at its tail, accelerating in pursuit.

The Ancestral Leopard-Lin Beast jumped into the air and directly unleashed the Bloodline Inheritance Skill—Thunder Escape, turning into a bolt of lightning; its explosive power was even greater than that of Kailan and the Crowned Flame Bird.

Li Zhangsheng landed on Aixi's back; his target was the only surviving Fourth Rank Xiao Clan member, the one who had first discovered the ambush.

As Aixi flapped its wings, Li Zhangsheng buffed Aixi with the Swift as Wind Secret Technique, closing the distance between them at an astonishing speed.

Along with Aixi were Baitian and Heiye, whom Li Zhangsheng held in his arms, ready to launch ranged attacks to interfere with the opponent at any time.

When the opponent was about to escape the range of the Dimensional Anchor Secret Technique, Li Zhangsheng released the Dimensional Anchor Secret Technique again, giving them absolutely no chance to escape.

"Damn it!"

The Fourth Rank Xiao Clan member cursed inwardly; they had been preparing to use Instant Movement to escape, but Li Zhangsheng gave them no opportunity at all.

When they sensed that Li Zhangsheng only had three Demon Pets protecting him, they hardened their heart, abandoned the thought of fleeing, and wanted to launch a desperate counterattack.

At this moment, they had no spare mind to think about whether the Clan Leader Xiao Mu had met with an accident; all their focus was entirely on the battle.

This Fourth Rank Xiao Clan member was a Clan Elder who had been at the Fourth Rank for over a decade, possessed rich combat experience, and was the strongest among the three Fourth Rank members who had been pursued, which was why they were able to become one of the four escapees amidst the chaos.

This Xiao Clan Elder was no longer at their peak; in the previous melee, they had lost a main Demon Pet, which also left them in a state of mental shock.

Before being caught up by Li Zhangsheng, the Xiao Clan Elder endured the mental shock and summoned two more Demon Pets; counting the Flying Demon Pet beneath them and the one they were holding, there were four in total, consisting of two Leader-level and two Elite-level ones.

"Success or death, we'll fight him to the end!"

The Xiao Clan Elder shouted, and their four Demon Pets all revealed expressions of being ready to die, charging madly toward Li Zhangsheng.

"Go!"

Baitian and Heiye, in Li Zhangsheng's arms, spread their wings and easily intercepted the two Elite-level Demon Pets.

In an instant, a ten-meter-long Black Gold Dragon Spear appeared in Li Zhangsheng's hand, and he thrust it at the Xiao Clan Elder.

At the critical moment, the dog-type Demon Pet in the Xiao Clan Elder's arms bumped the Black Gold Dragon Spear from the side, causing Li Zhangsheng to miss.

Suddenly, Aixi and the Flying Demon Pet beneath the Xiao Clan Elder engaged in close combat, and Aixi struck it with a claw, leaving it severely injured.

It was also at this moment, under the hopeful gaze of the Clan Elder of the Xiao Clan, that the petite canine Demon Pet slid along the Black Gold Dragon Spear toward Li Zhangsheng.

Li Zhangsheng had the Taiyin Token above his head, but he took the initiative to reach out both hands toward the canine Demon Pet, holding the Cold Jade Rabbit in his hands.

The Cold Jade Rabbit shot Li Zhangsheng a dissatisfied look, and seeing the canine Demon Pet pounce over, it had no choice but to extend its petite rabbit paw and slap the canine Demon Pet on its dog head.

Boom— Crack!

Under this slap, the canine Demon Pet's hard skull was forcefully shattered, and it had already lost its breath before it could even land on the ground.

Pfft—

The Clan Elder of the Xiao Clan spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his eyes filled with horror.

But before he could react, a sharp pain came from his chest, as if his spine had been pulled out, and the strength in his whole body dissipated rapidly; he looked down with difficulty and saw a spear shaft as thick as a bowl mouth pierced through his chest, with bright red blood spraying out continuously.

His mouth moved, and he used his last bit of strength to say, "Wh... why?"

"Blame it on the fact that we are enemies!"

Li Zhangsheng pulled out the Dragon Spear, the Clan Elder of the Xiao Clan finally breathed his last, and the remaining three Demon Pets all suffered a backlash, and were then easily dealt with.

Soon, Li Zhangsheng took the spoils and returned to the place where he had initially set the ambush.

Not long after, Kailan, Adai, and the other Demon Pets returned with a pile of corpses.

Not a single person from this batch of Xiao Clan elites escaped; they all died at the hands of Li Zhangsheng.

With their strength, if the other party had made preparations in advance, Li Zhangsheng feared he would not have gained much advantage.

Unfortunately, Li Zhangsheng did not give them the chance.

This time, Li Zhangsheng could be considered to have had a bountiful harvest. Although these dozen or so Xiao Clan elites were far inferior to Xiao Mu, they had the advantage of numbers, and added together, the difference was not that great.

The biggest harvest was still the corpses of the Demon Pets, numbering several dozen in total; although most possessed only Sparse or Pure Grade Exotic Beast or Divine Beast Bloodlines, the quantity ultimately made up for the quality.

The Soul Crystals, Demon Cores, and materials were quite messy and not of high grade, and estimating their value was a waste of energy, so Li Zhangsheng did not waste time and simply threw them into his Space Ring.

There were two treasures worth Li Zhangsheng's attention: one was a piece of Refined Gold weighing nearly four catties; with this piece of Refined Gold, Li Zhangsheng had almost gathered the amount of Refined Gold for the Imitation Demon Refining Pot, and next he still needed to collect three catties of Secret Silver, as well as the Cangxuan Wind-Stabilizing Bead and the Milaodingyuanzhu.

As long as the collection was complete, Li Zhangsheng could craft the Imitation Demon Refining Pot, and his Bloodline purification rate would surely skyrocket by a significant margin.

The second item was a gorgeous feather over half a meter long, which contained astonishing Wind Element energy and even a faint sense of Pressure.

This came from a Divine Beast; this was something Li Zhangsheng could determine at first glance.

There were only a few Divine Beasts that possessed cyan feathers, and through their images, Li Zhangsheng quickly locked onto the Green Luan.

The Green Luan was as famous as the Red Luan, belonging to the legendary divine birds and also one of the legendary Five Phoenixes, though its fame and combat ability were inferior to the Phoenix.

Even so, a Green Luan feather was still a rare and precious treasure.
