The Hook Tail Lion had also recovered from its stupor, the red in its eyes miraculously disappearing.
It first shook its head, and when it realized the situation it was in, it instinctively twisted its body to try to struggle free, trying to shake off the people who were on its. Its hook-like giant tail danced, sweeping up ferociously.
Zong Shou was unfazed, slightly shaking his head as he said, “Naughty!” before grabbing onto the hilt of the Pine Pattern Wind Sword and shaking it. The giant lion immediately cried out in pain, ninety percent of its strength instantly disappearing.
Only then did it realize that it was so close to death. That sharp sword on its head was just half a millimeter away from its brain. If it drove forwards just slightly more it would go through its skull.
A cold glow flashed from within the sleeves of Zong Shou’s left hand. His fingers holding onto a black Willow Talisman Knife, silently tossing to one side, instantly disappearing in an arc. Blood spurted out as the hook-like lion tail was cut off.
Chuxue’s eyes couldn’t help but constrict once more. The visual prowess of the tiger cat race exceeded that of normal people. She had personally witnessed that sharp knife stab in from the softest part of the lion tail and then right between the gaps between the tail bones. Zong Shou hadn’t used much strength from start from finish, using the sharpness of the talisman knife to cut the steel-like hook tail in two.
The Hook Tail Lion cried out in unendurable pain. Zong Shou didn’t let it go, stepping down hard, collapsing the spine of the Hook Tail Lion down and out, its hundred foot long spine started to shake from head to toe, giving out cracking sounds which lasted for a long while.
When Chuxue and Gong Xinran regained their senses, the peak Grade Three beast was already laying flat on the ground.
Its eyes showed an intense pain, and it had no energy to roar out anymore. Its current state was more well behaved than cats, totally tamed by him.
Chuxue felt a shiver down her spine, looking closely at her Young Master. On that absolutely handsome face, there was a smile which wasn’t a smile, giving him a really cold and cruel expression.
His eyes looked really calm, but carried an even crazier and stronger killing intent than these beasts.
She forgot to react until she saw a glimpse of impatience appear in the purple red eyes. Only then she did quickly regain her senses, carrying Gong Xinran and jumping onto the extremely wide back of the lion.
Only then did Zong Shou give out a satisfied smile, kicking it lightly. The giant lion kept quiet out of fear, but it was really intelligent and knew what Zong Shou wanted. It quickly got up and rumbled out before swiftly charging down the mountain. It was as fast as the wind, not much slower than the speed of Zong Shou when he climbed up the mountain.
The mountain path was really uneven and the back of the Hook Tail Lion jolted up and down. Zong Shou’s two legs were like they were rooted right onto the head of the lion.
One hand tightly held the giant bow, the other pressing onto the quiver, a purple glow of lightning shining slightly in his eyes.
Even after killing six people in a row, his chest didn’t feel free. The violence and brutality in his heart hadn’t been vented just yet. After he heard the last wishes of Gong Xinran, it had instead felt even more unbearable.
Who knows whether that person at the foot of the mountain had made any preparations?
Zong Shou, Sword Emperor Tanqiu from ten thousand years in the future, was here to kill!
——
When Gao Yi came down from Demon Corpse Mountain, he saw a dozen cavalry quietly waiting a thousand feet away from the foot of the mountain.
Their mounts were all specially chosen Cloud Stepping Foals. Even if they carried a thousand kilograms, they would still be able to travel easily.
Ten of them wore iron armor and were carrying sabers, giving off a majestic aura as they stood unmoving.
However Gao Yi’s gaze was thrown towards the front of the squad. There were two rarely seen Windrider Foals, one of which was empty, while on the other stood an old man.
He carried one sword at his side, and the aura he gave off was even stronger than the ten armored warriors behind him. He was sitting casually and looking forwards in a carefree manner.
When Gao Yi saw that he smiled, his body suddenly floating up, using a few breaths of time to cover a thousand feet, and landing on the Windrider Foal.
It seemed like this foal was also corrupted by the demon god intent of the Demon Corpse Mountain, its eyes turning slightly red. When Gao Yi landed on it, it suddenly stood up on two feet, its actions wild and unrestrained. Gao Yi didn’t panic at all, staying on its back. A talisman appeared at the tip of his finger, instantly calming this foal down.
He laughed towards the side, “Why did Mr. Mi personally come over to this Demon Corpse Mountain? This Blood Valley and Demon Corpse Mountain is famous for being dangerous; Mister is a Xiantian expert, accidents might happen.”
“As long as I don’t step on this mountain, those small interferences aren’t too difficult for me,” the old man expressionlessly explained, smiling coldly. “Although my strength is a little restricted, who here has the ability to handle me? Only those Xiantian martial cultivators with weak wills would fear this place. Did you get the item? What happened to that Gong Xinran?” He looked over, his eyes shining brightly.
“Of course I got it!” Gao Yi smiled, taking out a thick golden book. “However Mr. Mi, allow me to make a copy first before I hand this book over. As for that woman, I really like her and I want her to be with me for eternity.”
The old man was indifferent towards it, but when he heard the last sentence, only then did he burst out laughing, “So you are prepared to train her into your Seven Immortal Loop? You truly are vicious; no wonder old master has such high hopes for you.”
Gao Yi didn’t mind as he smiled, “Our Gao Family has just risen up. If we weren’t vicious, how could we rise up? That woman wasted two years of my life, only after spending so much effort was I was able to quash her suspicions. How annoying! What I find weird is that there are thousands of copies of this collection of martial secrets in the world. If you want one, you could easily get it, why did you eye this book and spend so much effort?”
When Mr. Mi heard that, he didn’t reply, taking out a jade bottle from his clothes, casually tossing it to Gao Yi. “This is the reward you wanted. Old master personally harvested elite equipment, travelling many mountains and seas to refine this top grade Human Pinnacle Pill. There are only forty-nine of these, and even I was given one in my early years. This is your good fortune! As for the collection of martial secrets, it isn’t something you can know about.”
Gao Yi was delighted, and after accepting it, he stowed it within his sleeves. “Legend had it that this item could help all people below the Earth Chakra level who hadn’t entered the Xiantian Realm increase their strength greatly. Changing bones and strengthening tendons, improving the body, helping to save ten years of cultivation. When I was in the Blood Valley I met a person, the Gantian Mountain Prince Zong Shou. Will he pose any obstacles?...”
“Gantian Mountain Prince?”
The old Mr Mi was expressionless from start to finish, and only when he heard that word did he turn slightly serious, then calm down once more. “Forget it! There’s no need to make too many enemies. Let him die on his own, he won’t be able to live for long. It is good if he died at the hands of the people in Gantian Mountain, but if others are the cause, no matter who it is, Gantian Mountain will want to take revenge. Who knows for what reason, he has formed a relationship with the City Lord of Cloud Saint City. What is amusing is that many powers west of the Cloud Continent want to kill him, but they can’t move easily.”
Gao Yi understood, laughing coldly, “That piece of trash that can’t even open up a meridian. Kill him and throw him to the beasts, who would know that we were the ones who did it?”
