Chapter 1748: Leading Out the Phantom Wind Beast
Before, the Youfeng Beast just thought that Qingyang's transformation into a Youfeng Beast was a little strange, so he launched a tentative attack. In fact, he was not sure, and he was not very repulsive to his own kind. Now he found that the person who sneaked in was actually a human cultivator pretending to be a cultivator, and his strength was not low. He even took away his Lingming Jade Dew. This was intolerable. The Youfeng Beast's only thought now was to eat the person in front of him alive to comfort his frightened heart.
The Youfeng Beast rushed again. Qingyang had no other choice but to dodge while performing the Five Elements Sword Formation to resist. A fierce battle then unfolded in the cave. After several times, Qingyang was already covered with scars. If he hadn't worn the spiritual treasure Qinglian Armor obtained from the Heart Valley, which offset a large part of the damage, Qingyang might have been seriously injured at this time.
The Youfeng beast had not expected that this human cultivator was so difficult to deal with. He was obviously not strong, but he could not be killed. What's more important was that he was in his own nest. It seemed that he had to show some real skills. The Youfeng beast roared, and his whole body suddenly became larger, as if it was brewing some big moves. Seeing this, Qingyang's heart tightened. The normal means of the Youfeng beast could not deal with it. If it used another big move, even if he didn't die, he would be seriously injured.
In such a place, once seriously injured, there would be no good end. Not to mention the Youfeng beast in the lake, it is hard to say whether the human cultivators outside would take the opportunity to attack. Thinking of this, Qingyang could no longer care about other things. He jumped around the Youfeng beast and ran out of the cave.
The Youfeng beast finally blocked Qingyang and was about to take him down. How could it let him leave easily when the food was at its best? Just as Qingyang passed by him, he suddenly opened his mouth and sprayed out a black water column. This water column looked ordinary, but it contained terrifying energy and had a strong corrosive effect, as if it could melt everything between heaven and earth. Anyway, Qingyang had been cultivating for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen such a powerful attack. If he was hit by the water column, even the spiritual treasure Qinglian Armor would not be able to save him, and he would only end up dead.
At this critical moment, Qingyang exerted force on his hands and activated the substitute talisman. A figure suddenly separated from Qingyang and rushed towards the black water column. With a loud bang, the black water column collapsed, covering the figure in the middle, and Qingyang took the opportunity to rush out.
According to Zi Teng Dan Huang, this substitute talisman is extremely powerful. When a cultivator is attacked, it can burst out huge energy and block the death situation for the cultivator, which is equivalent to an extra life. However, in the black water column, the figure transformed by the substitute talisman only lasted for a few breaths before it ran out of energy and turned into a pile of black ash. This shows how powerful the fatal blow of the Youfeng beast was.
The substitute talisman finally gave Qingyang a chance to survive. Seeing that the Youfeng beast had fallen behind, he did not dare to stay for a moment and stimulated his potential to escape from the cave at the fastest speed.
The Youfeng beast did not expect that his fatal blow was still ineffective, and he actually let a human cultivator who was four or five small realms lower than him escape from under his nose. He has lived for so many years and has never encountered such a thing. What's more, this guy also robbed the Lingming Jade Dew in his cave. The anger in the heart of the Youfeng beast can be imagined. He was not afraid that this hateful guy would not stop until he caught and tore him to pieces. So the Youfeng beast roared and chased Qingyang.
Qingyang fled in front, and the Youfeng beast chased behind. The man and the beast quickly rushed out of the cave and headed for the lake. Qingyang's true strength was three or four small realms higher than his cultivation, but it was more reflected in the attack. Other aspects were slightly weaker. Although it was higher than the cultivators of the same level, it was limited. Now the defense was compensated by the Qinglian Armor, and the speed was still weak. Even though he made a lot of preparations in advance and even used several wind attribute talismans to increase speed, the distance between the two sides was still slowly closed by the Youfeng beast. If he hadn't escaped early and used the substitute talisman more decisively, he might have been caught up by the Youfeng beast at this time.
Seeing the distance between the two sides getting closer and closer, and the Nishui Tianluo formation arranged by Yuyangzi and others was still far away, Qingyang couldn't help but regret it. If he had known that the Youfeng beast was so difficult to deal with, he shouldn't have agreed so readily at the beginning. Now he lost a substitute talisman in vain. It seems that he still can't escape the pursuit of the Youfeng beast. What should he do? Should he use the Golden Cicada Shelling Technique passed on to him by the Purple Cicada Demon King? That would be a big loss. This Golden Cicada Shelling Technique is more useful than the Substitute Talisman. It is Qingyang's preparation to save his life at a critical moment. There is only one chance, and it is not worth it to use it now.
Qingyang thought again and again, gritted his teeth and performed the Blood Burning Technique. His face was soon covered with a layer of blood, and mist was steaming on his head. Fine beads of sweat appeared all over his body, as if he had just come out of a steamer. His cultivation level was instantly raised from the fifth level of the Nascent Soul to the peak of the fifth level of the Nascent Soul.
The highest level of the Blood Burning Technique is only the Golden Core Stage. Qingyang in the Nascent Soul Realm can use it less effectively than before, but it still has some effect. More importantly, the consumed blood essence is nothing to Qingyang at present, and the sequelae of the Blood Burning Technique will also be much weakened. After taking some conditioning pills, he will hardly be affected. It is just right to use it in this environment.
Although his cultivation level did not improve much, Qingyang used most of his abilities to escape. Coupled with the effects of the talismans he had used before, he was able to barely keep up with the speed of the Youfeng Beast. Seeing that the distance between the two sides was no longer shortened, Qingyang finally breathed a sigh of relief.
In fact, this is just right. The Youfeng beast feels that he can catch up with Qingyang if he tries hard. The anger in his heart can support him to continue chasing. If Qingyang is very fast and escapes far away, the Youfeng beast thinks that he can't catch up even if he uses all his strength, and he might give up.
Qingyang is in front of him, trying to escape, and he doesn't care about anything else. The Youfeng beast is desperately chasing behind, vowing to catch this uninvited guest who broke into his cave, and then eat him alive and turn him into his food. In this way, chasing and escaping, they soon left the Youfeng Lake.
The lake was quiet. Yuyangzi and others had already hidden, but Qingyang remembered the location of the Nishui Tianluo formation, which was just a dozen miles ahead. As long as he persisted a little longer, he could complete the task successfully. After arriving at the lake, without the interference of the lake water, Qingyang's speed was faster. Seeing that he was getting farther and farther away from his cave, the Youfeng beast also became ruthless and did not hesitate to consume his potential to stimulate speed. In an instant, the distance between the two sides was shortened from dozens of feet to more than ten feet.
