Chapter 475: First Battle Victory

After the "Green Willow Sword" passed through the White Lion Beast King, just as it wanted to continue to slash toward the White Lion Beast King's huge head, the beast king's inner core flew over and collided with the "Green Willow Sword," deflecting the magic treasure controlled by Song Qingming.

The White Lion Beast King took advantage of this gap and hurriedly fled backward, widening the distance between itself and Song Qingming.

Although Song Qingming's fierce blow just now was a sneak attack under the cover of the formation, it was also somewhat unexpected for the White Lion Beast King to easily break through its defensive shield.

Looking at the pain coming from its front claw, which was still bleeding bright red blood, the White Lion Beast King glared fiercely at Song Qingming, opened its mouth wide, and took back the inner core that was still entangled with the "Green Willow Sword," then drove a cloud and mist to quickly head toward the north.

Song Qingming's blow, prepared for a long time, was originally intended to aim at the vital parts of the White Lion Beast King. It was just that it was blocked by the front claw it raised in time. Although it finally pierced its front claw with one sword, it did not hurt the vital parts of the White Lion Beast King.

Seeing that the opponent wanted to flee, Song Qingming hurriedly released a green flying boat, then stepped on the flying boat and chased after it directly.

The flying boat under Song Qingming's feet was a second-tier top-grade flying boat he exchanged from the Xiaoyao Sect's Merit Pavilion a few years ago. Although its speed was not as fast as the third-tier flying boats on other elders of the sect, under the full drive of Song Qingming, this Jin Dan cultivator, it was still slightly faster than his usual travel.

Back then, seeing the flying boats on those elite disciples of the Xiaoyao Sect, Song Qingming was actually always a bit envious in his heart. It was just that spirit items like flying boats could not be bought in the markets of Wei Guo at all.

Even at the Tiandan Alliance auction, Song Qingming only saw a second-tier low-grade flying boat of slightly poor quality appear once. In the end, because the price was raised too high, he hesitated for a while and was not willing to make a move.

Now that he had finally become a Jin Dan True Person, Song Qingming naturally wanted to realize the small wish that had always existed in his heart first. Although there was no way to get a third-tier flying boat all at once, Song Qingming still easily exchanged for a second-tier top-grade flying boat from the Merit Pavilion.

Seeing the two figures of the White Lion Beast King and Song Qingming disappear one after another, Huang Siyuan, who was still controlling the formation, also hurriedly put away the "Illusion Formation" and returned to Jin Shan Market quietly.

These three beasts entangled Song Qingyu and also knew her power, so they did not rush to attack at close range, just constantly consuming the magic power on Song Qingyu through some long-range spells while calling for beasts nearby to come and help.

Seeing that Song Qingyu wanted to escape, these two late-stage Foundation Establishment beasts also became fierce, directly rushing up quickly at close range to entangle her again. A beast at the early stage of Foundation Establishment that supported from the other side also appeared at her side and joined the siege of Song Qingyu.

The quality of this "Bai He Puppet Beast" had already reached second-tier top-grade, and its power could be comparable to an ordinary mid-stage Foundation Establishment beast. It was given to Song Qingyu by Song Qingming before he left the Song family to go into seclusion to form his core. It could be considered the biggest trump card on her currently.

As soon as the "Bai He Puppet Beast" appeared, under Song Qingyu's control, it immediately stepped forward and entangled one of the weakest mid-stage Foundation Establishment beasts.

Song Qingyu also took advantage of the fact that the other two beasts had not yet reacted, broke out of the encirclement from the gap that had just leaked out, and leaned toward the other cultivators.

Seeing that she had just broken out of the encirclement and fell into a passive situation again, Song Qingyu felt a sense of bad luck in her heart. Under the siege of three beasts, Song Qingyu, who still had to distract herself to control the crane puppet on the side, soon consumed the few second-tier spirit talismans on her body, and a trace of bright red blood began to overflow from the corner of her mouth.

Just when Song Qingyu was somewhat stretched thin, a white light suddenly killed its way to her side, helping her block a difficult late-stage Foundation Establishment beast. It was Huang Siyuan, who had just returned to the battlefield here in the market not long ago.

The cultivators and beasts fighting in a melee here in Jin Shan Market were not affected by the departure of the White Lion Beast King and Song Qingming. Both sides were still fighting desperately, and the sky was filled with shouts of killing and screams one after another.

After being suppressed for a long time, her magic power was not much left, and another Foundation Establishment beast was leaning toward this side not far away. Song Qingyu, who was somewhat anxious in her heart, hardened her heart, put away the Green Water Bell, and waved her jade hand to release a crane-shaped puppet beast with a snow-white body.

Previously, because she performed outstandingly and killed a second-tier beast, she was soon focused on by other second-tier beasts around her. Facing the constant siege of these three second-tier beasts, although Song Qingyu relied on the Green Water Bell to guard her position, she still fell slightly behind after a fierce battle.

"Sister-in-law, why did you come over? How is Seventh Brother?" After repelling the beast in front of her with one sword, Song Qingyu immediately leaned together with Huang Siyuan and asked anxiously.

To prevent any accidents in this matter, most of the cultivators in Jin Shan Market did not know about Huang Siyuan going to help Song Qingming ambush the White Lion Beast King. Only a few people Song Qingming trusted most knew about this matter, and Song Qingyu was naturally one of them.

Huang Siyuan said calmly, "Rest assured, Husband has already repelled the White Lion Beast King just now and is currently tracking it. It shouldn't take long before he returns."

After hearing Huang Siyuan's affirmative reply, Song Qingyu's originally somewhat nervous face relaxed, and after wiping away the blood from the corner of her mouth, she showed a look of joy.

At the other end of the battlefield, Zhao Chuancheng forced back two second-tier beasts in front of him with one sword, reached out and picked up the sound-transmission talisman that had just flown to his side. After hearing the specific content inside, he excitedly shouted to the numerous Qi Refining cultivators who were fighting desperately below.

"Fellow Daoists, Old Ancestor Song has already defeated the White Lion Beast King, and the beast army is about to retreat. Everyone must hold on."

Following several sound-transmission talismans sent by Song Qingyu, many human cultivators on the battlefield already knew the news of Song Qingming defeating the White Lion Beast King. Soon, the morale of the cultivators on the Jin Shan Market side also rose immediately.

Although the human side gradually gained some initiative in momentum, the beast side was not affected much. On the battlefield, all kinds of colorful spells were flying non-stop, and the tragic battle was still continuing.

Half an hour later, a green light shone in the sky again and soon arrived above the battlefield of Jin Shan Market. It was Song Qingming, who had just chased the White Lion Beast King not long ago and returned.

After chasing the White Lion Beast King for dozens of miles, although Song Qingming added some injuries to the opponent, he still failed to keep it in the end and could only return to Jin Shan Market in frustration.

Taking a look at the battlefield still in a melee below, Song Qingming quickly cast a spell in his hand, and a sharp green sword light went straight down. After shuttling through the beast group, it soon killed more than a dozen beasts under the sword.

Seeing the huge lethality caused by the "Green Willow Sword," the few Foundation Establishment beasts nearby were suddenly startled. Feeling the huge pressure coming from Song Qingming in mid-air, these Foundation Establishment beasts immediately began to take the lead and retreat backward.

Because the White Lion Beast King was no longer on the battlefield, these second-tier beasts naturally no longer had much pressure in their hearts. Seeing a Jin Dan cultivator with divine power appear on the human side, these beasts naturally did not dare to rush forward to die.

Seeing those second-tier beasts beginning to take the lead and retreat, the numerous low-tier beasts below naturally lost their fighting spirit soon and followed those second-tier beasts to retreat north one after another.

"Hahaha, the beasts have retreated, everyone follow me to pursue!"

The human cultivators relying on Jin Shan Market, seeing the beast army beginning to retreat, having been passively resisting for half a day, naturally would not let go of this good opportunity to beat a drowning dog. Under the leadership of numerous Foundation Establishment cultivators, they launched a full-scale counterattack until they drove all the beasts out for dozens of miles before they were willing to stop.

Song Qingming killed several Foundation Establishment beasts all the way and did not chase very far before turning back, just in time to run into Song Yuanli leading the law enforcement team cultivators to start cleaning up the battlefield.

This great battle between thousands of beasts and cultivators in Jin Shan Market, from the time the sky was just dawning when both sides engaged in battle, to the end, was already approaching dusk. The corpses and broken limbs left on the battlefield continued for several miles from Jin Shan Market to the north.

Among these corpses, there were not only all kinds of beasts but also those human cultivators who fought desperately. Intertwined with each other, they were illuminated by the sunset, emitting bursts of bloody aura.

"Congratulations to Seventh Grand-uncle for defeating the White Lion Beast King." Seeing Song Qingming land beside him, Song Yuanli hurriedly stepped forward and congratulated him happily.

After Song Qingming scanned the battlefield with a peaceful face, he nodded slightly and said, "Yuanli, you law enforcement team work hard tonight. Try to clean up all the corpses in these two days to prevent those beasts from coming to sneak attack us!"

"Seventh Grand-uncle, please rest assured. I will stay here to urge the law enforcement team to clean up the battlefield quickly. We won this battle against the beast army and guarded Jin Shan Market, so it should be safe. Those beasts have just suffered such a big defeat. If they want to come again, I reckon they will need

"Seventh Great-Uncle, please rest assured. I will remain here to urge the law enforcement team to step up the clearing of the battlefield. We won this battle against the spirit beast army, and Jin Shan Market should be safe now. Those spirit beasts have just suffered such a crushing defeat; if they want to come back, I estimate it will take at least a month or two of preparation," Song Yuanli said with a confident smile.

"Hmm! However, we still cannot be careless. In a while, I will arrange for more people to come over; you all should hurry and clear the battlefield."

Seeing the excitement on the faces of Song Yuanli and the law enforcement cultivators after their victory, Song Qingming did not say much to dampen the good atmosphere at the scene. After giving them a few brief instructions, he returned directly to his own cave dwelling.

Although this first battle was a success and he had led Jin Shan Market to a temporary victory, Song Qingming understood very well that the White Lion Spirit King had not suffered heavy damage, and the spirit beast army had not been routed. They would likely return before long, and this spirit beast turmoil was far from ending so quickly.
