How could a Fourth-Tiered big monkey command a Fifth-Tiered Magical Beast?
They had been on good terms before, so why the sudden betrayal?
If it wanted to kill me, why didn't it act the first time we met?
Despite being full of doubts, there was no time to think about it. On the left, the Great Eagle had spread its wings, and with a light flap, hundreds of wind blades slashed toward Xiao Feng.
A Fifth-Tiered Magical Beast's innate Dou Technique was something even a Dou Wang-level expert would not dare underestimate, so how could Xiao Feng dare to take it head-on?
He jumped high, barely dodging it, when suddenly a giant rock fell from the sky. It was the Land Turtle that had attacked, forcing Xiao Feng back into the sky full of wind blades.
"Fuck!"
Xiao Feng cursed in anger, for he noticed that the Moon-Watching Rhino on his right had also attacked. A barely perceptible Dark Attribute Battle Qi gathered around him, preparing to trap him there to face the hundreds of wind blades.
On the contrary, the Crimson Flame Tiger, which usually provoked him the most, did not join the attack, but just watched coldly.
Even so, Xiao Feng's situation was not much better; three Fifth-Tiered Magical Beasts joining forces to fight a Great Dou Master like him was truly overestimating him.
They clearly wanted him dead!
Seeing he could not dodge, Xiao Feng pushed his right hand forward. Blades materialized from his palm to meet the wind blades. Each small sword could easily kill a Dou Ling, but at this moment, it took at least three to five of them to neutralize just one wind blade!
Xiao Feng frowned; he would not fare well if this consumption continued.
At this moment, his Cultivation Technique circulated, and the Dark Attribute Battle Qi bound around his body was absorbed by him, and he rushed toward the Great Eagle with his whole body!
Compared to the other three guys, Xiao Feng felt it was easier to deal with, as it lacked tough and thick defenses, and perhaps he could open a path to survival from it.
The Great Eagle seemed to see through Xiao Feng's intentions, tilted its head to look at him, let him approach, and then its sharp claws suddenly reached out and grabbed at Xiao Feng.
An ordinary eagle's claws could pierce a wolf's skull, so how much force would a Dou Wang-Realm Great Eagle exert?
Xiao Feng did not want to experience the feeling of being crushed, so long before getting close, he had used Battle Qi to conjure an image of himself, while hiding his own body using Dark Attribute Battle Qi.
As the Great Eagle crushed the phantom, Xiao Feng had already landed on the Great Eagle's head, one hand clutching the feathers on its head tightly, while the other hand balled into a fist and hammered down.
Xiao Feng's performance surprised the Great Eagle, but a Fifth-Tiered is a Fifth-Tiered after all. Even a flightless beast that seemed to have no defense, the moment its Battle Qi surged, it sent Xiao Feng flying into the air.
"Screech!"
With a piercing cry, the next moment, the Great Eagle appeared above Xiao Feng, its pale yellow, scimitar-shaped beak pecking fiercely at him!
Xiao Feng hardened his heart. Five different colored Battle Qis danced in his palm, and he pushed them upward violently. As the sharp beak crushed his left hand, the five different Battle Qis were also sent into the Great Eagle's mouth.
Under the control of his Soul Power, the highly condensed five kinds of Battle Qi collided, emitting a violent explosion.
Boom!
The Great Eagle's beak was crooked, its whole head was smoking, and its wings were flapping wildly, but its body could not stop falling.
Even so, before falling, it grabbed Xiao Feng into its claws.
Xiao Feng braced a layer of Battle Qi armor, which was instantly crushed. The claw tips hooked into his chest, and blood quickly soaked his clothes.
His heart seemed to be sliced, and every beat was accompanied by intense pain.
'Am I going to die?'
Despair spread in his chest.
The Great Eagle was falling rapidly, and Xiao Feng's head was buzzing. His short twelve years of life flashed before his eyes like a revolving lantern.
Starting martial arts at two years old.
Starting to Cultivate Battle Qi the same year.
Thinking about how to become stronger every day.
Even when cursed as an idiot, he could not be bothered to pay attention; that was too much of a waste of time.
He seized every moment to Cultivate; he became stronger at all costs; he worked so hard...
Just to survive.
And not to be killed here.
Seeing the Great Eagle steady its body and its other claw hooking toward him, the image of Xiao Xun Er appeared in Xiao Feng's mind, and his eyes were filled with despair.
Forget it...
Rather than dying like this, it is better to fight to the death.
Xiao Feng stretched out his right hand to forcefully support the Great Eagle's other claw, his internal Cultivation Technique running wildly, connecting every meridian he had opened, every acupuncture point he had refined.
Suddenly, the wind rose.
The feathers on the Great Eagle's body were constantly fluttering, and a visible air vortex, with Xiao Feng as the center, appeared.
Like a black hole attracting everything around it, Battle Qi, blood energy, and even his Soul were affected.
This was the second time Xiao Feng had operated his Cultivation Technique in this way, and his opponent was a Fifth-Tiered Magical Beast that was far stronger than him; he had no choice.
The Great Eagle suddenly sensed danger and instinctively wanted to throw Xiao Feng away, but Xiao Feng held onto its sharp claws tightly and could not be shaken off.
Like a black hole devouring matter, compressing, perishing...
"Screech!"
The Great Eagle cried out in sorrow, its body surging with endless cyan Battle Qi, washing over Xiao Feng.
Pain tore at Xiao Feng's nerves, but he gritted his teeth and persisted, constantly reminding himself to survive.
Slowly, his consciousness slipped into darkness.
In the end, the Great Eagle was severely injured and flew away, and Xiao Feng fell to the ground, with endless Battle Qi pouring into his body, constantly compressing into every inch of his flesh.
The other three Fifth-Tiered Magical Beasts watched Xiao Feng's situation closely, curious but afraid to approach, until the Mountain Ape landed.
"You guys leave." The Mountain Ape was not afraid of them at all, as if a Fourth-Tiered was stronger than a Fifth-Tiered.
What was even more surprising was that the three Fifth-Tiered Magical Beasts actually left just like that. Even though they still held great curiosity, they turned and left because of the Mountain Ape's words.
Watching Xiao Feng, who was constantly absorbing Battle Qi and almost being exploded by the dense Battle Qi, the Mountain Ape muttered to itself calmly.
"To be able to resist even this kind of dead end, this must be the kind of life destiny mentioned in the Legacy, right? And possessing that terrifying talent for Cultivation, it has to be you!"
As if making a great decision, the Mountain Ape opened its hand, and a mysterious aura radiated from its palm. The black hole that was devouring everything seemed to have hit the pause button, no longer moving a bit.
"Well, it is said that people with this kind of destiny can sprout if given a little hope. Let's help him this much first." The Mountain Ape looked expectant, seemingly wanting to see how far Xiao Feng could persist.
Suddenly, it looked up somewhere, a fierce light flashing in its eyes.
...
I do not know how long it had been, when Xiao Feng woke up from his sleep.
He patted his head, trying to drive away the inexplicable pain, but it was futile.
Soon, he saw the surroundings clearly; it was still the place surrounded by the four great Demonic Beasts.
Only, the Demonic Beasts were gone.
'Why did they let me go?'
While frowning and thinking, he climbed up from the ground. This place made him feel uneasy, and he wanted to leave quickly.
"Hiss..."
It would have been fine if he did not move, but as soon as he moved, his whole body felt like it was being cut by hundreds of knives. The intense and rapid pain almost swallowed Xiao Feng's sanity.
He smelled blood with his nose, and looking down, Xiao Feng saw his body like a broken doll, blood flowing everywhere.
Closing his eyes, he began to check his own condition.
The very next second, his eyes opened again, and his mouth pulled into a bitter smile.
All the Meridians in his body were severed, and every inch of his flesh contained highly compressed Battle Qi. At this moment, he was like a bomb that could explode at any time; perhaps one more step and he would explode into a mist of blood.
Xiao Feng lay down slowly; he did not care whether this place was dangerous or not anymore.
"Heh... being able to survive can be considered a happy thing, right?" Xiao Feng looked at the sky, a blade of grass in his mouth, a rare lazy look on his face.
Suddenly, he turned over and coughed, even coughing up blood foam, his face turning red and white, and he spat out another mouthful of blood.
"Is this not working either..."
Just now, he used his Soul Power to connect to his Dantian, trying to find a way to break the deadlock, but unfortunately, the Dantian was shattered even more severely. Under his Soul perception, it was like a balloon that had already burst, frozen in the moment of explosion by a camera.
"Haha, I did not expect that under such circumstances, you still would not give up?"
On the hillside nearby, a rumbling sound rang out.
Xiao Feng's gaze did not move; he knew the Mountain Ape had come over.
He had too many questions he wanted to ask the Mountain Ape before, but now that they met again, he was too lazy to even speak; all those things no longer mattered.
"Hey, do not ignore me?"
The Mountain Ape called out again.
"Do me a favor." Xiao Feng's heart stirred. "Help me get to the outskirts of the Magical Beast Mountain Range."
"That will not do."
The Mountain Ape shook its head. "I waited for so long to meet someone suitable, how could I let you go?"
Xiao Feng did not understand the Mountain Ape's words, nor did he know what kind of thoughts it held about him, so he simply did not speak and put his energy back into his body.
"Hey, why are you not talking again? Are you not curious?"
What the Mountain Ape wanted to see was Xiao Feng looking eager while it reluctantly agreed, not this current appearance of it sticking to him like this!
Xiao Feng tilted his head and looked at it. "If you want to kill me, just do it. If you need my help, then explain it properly."
After speaking, he coughed again.
The Mountain Ape felt so uncomfortable.
With a tremor of the earth, it jumped to a further place, roared to the sky for a long time, and then walked back slowly.
"I have a Legacy, do you want to accept it?" the Mountain Ape asked.
Xiao Feng looked at it suspiciously. "Why choose me? Is it related to the previous siege?"
The Mountain Ape bared its teeth. "Accept or not?"
"If I had not been able to hold on during the previous siege, I would have really died, right?" Xiao Feng ignored the Mountain Ape and muttered to himself. "Heh, an inexplicable Legacy, an inexplicable selection method; even if I got the Legacy, I would not thank my predecessor, right?"
"Hey, are you going to accept it or not?"
"I accept."
Xiao Feng was very helpless; he had no choice.
The Mountain Ape chuckled a few times, pinched Xiao Feng into its hand, and disappeared into the distance in three steps.
It was unknown whether the Mountain Ape did it on purpose, but the movement was very rough, and Xiao Feng's already exhausted mind sank into darkness again.
When Xiao Feng opened his eyes again, he found himself in a pool.
The pool water was cool and seemed to have a healing effect; he could feel his body changing in a good direction.
The pool was square, four meters wide and long. The pool water was emerald blue, and one could see to the bottom at a glance. Complex patterns were carved underneath, and there were magic cores dotted among them, densely packed; there should be nearly a hundred of them.
The Mountain Ape stood not far away. Seeing Xiao Feng wake up, it asked, "Are you ready?"
The voice was rumbling. Only then did Xiao Feng notice that this was a large cave with stalactites hanging upside down; he was really worried that one of them would be shattered by the Mountain Ape's voice and then hit him.
"What is this for?" Xiao Feng asked.
The Mountain Ape pulled the corners of its mouth, revealing a weird smile. It did not know what it did, but the light in the pool suddenly flourished, like a bright sun falling into it. Even if he closed his eyes, he felt it was dazzling in front of him.
"This is the Body Refining Pool, enjoy it!" The Mountain Ape laughed, then turned and left, as it also felt it was dazzling.
