Chapter 17 The Old Pixiu
Tens of thousands of miles away from the battlefield.
boom!
Countless towering ancient trees snapped and shot into the sky, shattering into dust in mid-air.
The mountain range was crushed and cracked, with countless huge ravines and fissures spreading in all directions.
A colossal beast charged into the ancient human city, blotting out the sky and crushing the city walls, slaughtering the powerful human warriors inside.
"Tell me, where is he?"
The ferocious beast roared, radiating boundless light and overwhelming power that caused the surrounding void to tremble. Its immense strength made people shudder and unable to muster any thought of resistance.
This is a purebred adult Pixiu, whose strength has already surpassed that of a king or noble, making it a Venerable One.
Clearly, it has come for revenge.
To avenge that little Pixiu.
The Pixiu is extremely tall, like a mountain, covering the sky and the sun, and its voice is like thunder, deafening.
Seeing that no one answered, the Pixiu raised its mountain-like foot and stomped down.
boom!
A large section of the ancient city collapsed, and countless powerful human warriors were affected, suffering serious injuries and dying on the spot.
"We don't know where he is, we've never seen him."
"He must have gone to the teleportation array; he couldn't possibly have stayed in the ancient city."
"This is none of our business. If you want revenge, you should go find him."
The surviving human powerhouses spoke up one after another. Some of them who had disliked Shi Ziling before took the initiative to speak up and guide the adult Pixiu to its location.
There are many exits from the Hundred Races Battlefield, and it would take a long time for an adult Pixiu to find them on its own.
Perhaps by the time it finds it, Shi Ziling will have already left the battlefield of the Hundred Races through the teleportation array.
If we could know Shi Ziling's whereabouts, predict his location in advance, and rush there to intercept and kill him, that would be ideal.
"Where?"
The Pixiu spoke, its divine voice like thunder, its aura like a whirlwind, blowing everyone's hair back and making their faces look ugly.
Southeast.
Someone quickly offered some directions.
"I've memorized your scent. If you're lying to me, even if you hide in the Great Wilderness, I will find you and kill you."
The Pixiu glanced indifferently at the person, then ignored him and leaped away.
boom!
The ground exploded, countless powerful figures fell, and the Pixiu transformed into a streak of red light, rushing into the distance.
...
Shi Ziling darted through the mountains and forests at great speed, covering hundreds of miles in the blink of an eye.
Suddenly, a furious roar came from behind, the sound almost tangible, instantly covering the entire world, shaking the surrounding mountains and shattering the trees.
"Humans!!"
[Ding! New quest triggered.]
[Mission Name: The Pixiu's Pursuit]
[Content: You have killed the son of the Pixiu. As is customary, the old one comes after the young one. Now, the adult Pixiu has come knocking. Please do your best to survive.]
[Completion Condition: Leave the battlefield of the Hundred Clans alive and return to the Martial King's Mansion.]
[Quest Reward: Grass-Character Sword Technique]
Given how difficult it is, they only give one of the Ten Fierce Treasure Techniques; they're really stingy.
Just as Shi Ziling had this thought, a sudden, intense sense of crisis came from behind him.
Without any hesitation, he quickly turned around, runes appearing on his body, and threw a punch behind him.
boom!
In an instant, countless runes exploded, and terrifying power swept across dozens of miles in an instant. The continuous mountain ranges resounded with explosions, the earth shattered, and a huge crater was blasted out.
With a thought, Shi Ziling's appearance instantly transformed into that of Shi Ziteng, and his aura also changed. It was no longer sharp and aggressive, but rather deep and unfathomable, lurking in the shadows.
He brandished the "Dragon Blood Halberd," straightened his back, and stood like a long spear, staring directly at the Pixiu.
Even though the person before him was a pure-blooded ferocious beast and an unparalleled venerable being, he remained calm and showed no fear.
"Give me back my son's life!"
Without uttering a single word, the Pixiu roared loudly, its body erupting with terrifying red light, and slapped out with its claws as if to tear the entire world apart.
"Your son died because I wasn't capable enough, but you, you old beast, can't even kill me."
Shi Ziling brandished the "Dragon Blood Battle Halberd," its tip emitting divine light and rolling lightning, enveloping the Pixiu's claws.
boom!
The thunderbolts that filled the sky were extinguished by the Pixiu, which, as if facing an apocalyptic catastrophe, went berserk and struck Shiziling once more.
"The gap between a Venerable and a Array Formation Realm expert is truly vast."
Shi Ziling frowned. With his strength, he could kill even a veteran king or marquis, but facing a Venerable across realms was still too difficult.
He took a deep breath, and divine light shone brightly from his body. His body swelled up like a mountain in the wind, with red hair, red eyes, a blue face, and fangs.
"Come!"
Shi Ziling roared and swung the "Dragon Blood Battle Halberd" like a pillar of heaven, smashing it fiercely towards the Pixiu.
"Little Doyle".
Pixiu scoffed, saying that bigger size does not necessarily mean greater strength.
Even if he used the Heaven and Earth Transformation Technique to make his body the same size as him, what use would it be?
The difference between a venerable person and a king is as vast as heaven and earth, a world apart.
It waved its claws, easily stopping the sweeping halberd, and then suddenly exerted its strength, pouncing towards Shi Ziling.
Shi Ziling shook his weapon, and countless golden rays exploded, shooting towards the Pixiu's body.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Golden light exploded on the Pixiu, unleashing terrifying power. Even a king-level expert would be seriously injured if hit by it, but the Pixiu was completely unharmed, and the mockery on its face became even more intense.
"I told you, Little Doyle!"
boom!
It kicked Shi Ziling, sending him flying backward, crashing into several mountain peaks and carving a deep trench in the ground.
"Give me your life!"
The Pixiu roared and launched another attack, determined to tear the human apart and avenge its offspring.
"You've only cultivated for a few decades longer than me, what's with the arrogance? I, Shi Ziteng, was born into the Martial King's Mansion of the Stone Kingdom, became a disciple of the Demon Spirit Lake, and have a son with double pupils. My future is limitless. Give me three more years, and I, Shi Ziteng, will surely kill you!"
Shi Ziling pointed his halberd at the Pixiu and cursed loudly, showing no regard for this Venerable-level pure-blooded ferocious beast, and even made a three-year promise.
Pixiu's anger intensified. Long ago, when it was searching for this fellow's whereabouts, it had heard that this human had given birth to a precious son and wanted to kill its own pure-blooded junior to extract his essence and blood to make a precious medicine for his son's baptism.
Now they're even more arrogant, mocking me to my face and saying they'll kill me in three years?
"Three years?" Pixiu sneered. "You won't live past today."
It roared in fury, shaking mountains and rivers, changing the color of the sky and earth, and even trembling the void. Its aura became incredibly terrifying.
"If I kill you today, I will personally go to the Martial King's Mansion, kill your son, gouge out his double pupils, and refine them into a treasure for my clan."
The Pixiu moved and rushed towards Shiziling. Its four limbs pounded the ground, making a rumbling sound that could be felt hundreds of miles away.
"You old beast, do you think I'm afraid of you? Just wait and see how I kill you!"
Shi Ziling was also enraged. Runes bloomed on his body, and the Zhuxian Sword Formation burst forth with terrifying light. Even the Pixiu felt its hair stand on end and sensed a great crisis. It quickly activated its magic technique to prepare for the fight.
call out!
A beam of golden light shot out, weak and powerless, and landed on the Pixiu.
Snapped!
The golden light exploded, as dazzling as fireworks, yet caused no harm whatsoever.
The Pixiu was dumbfounded.
That's it?
