Chapter 1996 1997: Blood Son
The Giant Eagle screeched and charged towards the Blood Son on the ground.
The Blood Son was engrossed in his fierce battle with the Giant Python and the little eagles. He was already at his limit fighting the python and several eagles. If the Giant Eagle attacked now, the Blood Son would surely be overwhelmed.
Though the Blood Son was powerful, his strength was merely at the Threshold Realm of the Dawen Peak.
Being able to hold his own against these eagles and snake at the Threshold Realm was already quite impressive.
But now, with the even more powerful Giant Eagle swooping down from above, the Blood Son definitely couldn't withstand it.
However, the old man who had been standing by the Blood Son's side suddenly took action.
Just as the Giant Eagle was diving down, the old man's sword was drawn.
As the treasured sword was unsheathed, sword light radiated in all directions, and a cold beam shot towards the Giant Eagle.
The Giant Eagle naturally sensed a very powerful spiritual energy slicing towards it. But it was too late to stop now; this sword strike came too fast.
The Giant Eagle flapped its wings, forcibly contracting its body, then increased its spiritual energy to form two Spiritual Energy Vortexes in front of it, trying to use them to block the old man's Sword Qi.
Bang!
This sword strike shattered the Spiritual Energy Vortexes into fragments of spiritual energy, and the Sword Qi continued to slice into the Giant Eagle's body.
The powerful Giant Eagle was directly slashed out of the sky by the sword, its feathers falling in flurries.
Ling Zhenfei was shocked at the sight, a hint of surprise flashing through his mind.
"Pursue Heart State!" This was the phrase that popped into Ling Zhenfei's mind.
Indeed, it was the Pursue Heart State. Ling Zhenfei understood the power of this Giant Eagle.
This Giant Eagle was at least at the Realm of Reaching Wisdom; with its body of steel tendons and iron bones, ordinary spiritual energy had no effect on it.
Yet the old man had casually unleashed a sword, not only breaking the Giant Eagle's spiritual energy defense but also sending it flying. It was obvious that the Giant Eagle was no match for the old man.
The old man's strength was undoubtedly at the Pursue Heart State.
Regardless of the outcome against the old man, those little eagles were still its young. The Giant Eagle descended from the sky again, lunging toward the old man.
The old man said four words from his mouth, "Overestimating your ability!"
After speaking, the old man's treasured sword was unsheathed again, but this time it wasn't just a simple single strike.
The old man's sword released more than a dozen rapid strikes, each faster than the last, attacking the Giant Eagle directly.
The Giant Eagle flapped its wings, the feathers on its wings shooting like sharp arrows towards the old man, its two claws reaching toward him like two large hooks.
However, the feather arrows were suddenly blocked by the spiritual energy surrounding the old man and couldn't penetrate at all.
At this time, the old man's Sword Qi had also arrived, and in a flurry of slashes, the Giant Eagle's feathers flew everywhere as it attempted to escape once more. This time, the Giant Eagle was extremely battered, many feathers dropping, and it let out a tragic cry in the air.
Ling Zhenfei was very surprised; he had once battled the Giant Eagle for so long without making it so miserable, yet it only took the old man a couple of moves to render it so.
The gap between the Pursue Heart State and the Realm of Reaching Wisdom was indeed vast.
The old man spoke, "You despicable creature, listen clearly. Today, my disciple has taken a liking to your offspring to make a Heart-pursuing Item. You should feel honored.
Following my disciple will certainly bring benefits. If you dare come down again, I'll make sure you never return."
Ling Zhenfei was shocked to learn that they were dealing with these eagles and snakes because the Blood Son wanted one eagle as his Heart-pursuing Item.
But Ling Zhenfei never expected that a Heart-pursuing Item could use living creatures. If that's the case, could he use a Lightning Bird as his Heart-pursuing Item?
But this was just a thought. The Blood Oath Sect was originally a strange sect; maybe they used some eccentric cultivation technique.
At this point, the Giant Eagle seemed to comprehend the old man's words. Although it was unwilling, it hovered in the air, not daring to descend again.
The old man didn't want to waste time and asked, "My son, have you made your choice?"
The Blood Son replied, "Master, I've already decided. This red eagle suits my heart well."
The old man nodded, "Since that's the case, let me lend you a hand."
After speaking, the old man made a move. The longsword was drawn and slashed towards the Giant Python.
The Giant Python, massive in size and strong in power, had no way to dodge the slash.
This sword was from the Pursue Heart State, and the Sword Qi couldn't be compared to that of the Blood Son's.
This strike landed right on the python, causing it to roll on the ground in pain, breaking several trees as it did.
The old man then slashed twice more; the eagles attacking with the Blood Son were swept away, leaving only the lone red eagle.
The eagle, realizing the dire situation, attempted to flee, but it was already too late.
The Blood Son acted, putting away his longsword, making a strange hand gesture with his hands, and releasing a spiritual energy stream that entangled the Giant Eagle.
The red eagle struggled continuously but couldn't break free.
However, the Blood Son needed more than just a simple gesture to fully control the eagle.
The old man stepped in, releasing a spiritual energy stream that firmly bound the eagle.
With the old man's assistance, subduing the eagle became simple for the Blood Son.
The Blood Son sat cross-legged, beginning to use a secret technique on the eagle.
He opened his mouth, releasing a dark mist that enveloped the eagle, rendering it immobile within the mist.
Ling Zhenfei knew he couldn't watch any longer. If the old man discovered him, who knew if he could still escape?
Ling Zhenfei gently nudged Sun Wei and the others, then quietly retreated.
However, a slight noise couldn't escape the old man's awareness.
"Who's hiding there!"
Ling Zhenfei was startled, realizing that escaping wouldn't be easy now.
Ling Zhenfei gave Sun Wei a signal, which Sun Wei understood, hurriedly stepping out from behind the rocks.
"Greetings, senior. We are disciples of Wuliang Mountain, passing by by chance, not expecting to witness senior subduing demon beasts. It's quite an enlightening sight."
Sun Wei, clearly sharp, realized that this old man was not a benevolent character, so he immediately mentioned Wuliang Mountain.
The old man looked at Sun Wei and said, "So, you're from Wuliang Mountain. What's with the sneaky behavior?"
Sun Wei said, "We were just passing through and were about to leave. We didn't expect senior's prowess to even pick up on such a faint noise from us. Since senior is busy, we'll be on our way."
The old man laughed and said, "Since you're here, why leave so soon? You're from a prestigious sect like Wuliang Mountain. Why don't we have a chat?"
Sun Wei replied, "That won't be necessary. We have matters to attend to, so we'll take our leave."
