Chapter 21: Pursuit and Slaying (Second Update, Seeking Collection)

  Yin and Yang Cat King, a sixth-tier demon beast. It's said that even among millions of Yin and Yang cats, not one may be born as the king. Its strength surpasses the Red Flame Eagle that Qin Xuan encountered before, equivalent to a strong human martial artist who has achieved the Unity Realm!

  Divine Mirror, if Qin Xuan remembered correctly, the Old Ancestor of the Qin Family was a powerhouse at this level!

  At this time, he finally understood why only the second-order yin-yang cat would appear in the inner circle and occupy this piece of land. It was not because they were numerous enough to intimidate third- and fourth-order magical beasts, but because they had a king!

  The true king!

  It's laughable that I actually killed so many of his underlings on his own turf, no wonder the old man ran out.

  "Roar!"

  With a wide open bloody mouth, the roar shook the sky, a strong sound wave swept forward, Qin Xuan didn't even have time to resist, and was blown away, his ears buzzing, the surrounding trees were also uprooted and flew into the air.

  Hmph.

  Until he crashed into several sturdy trees, Qin Xuan finally stopped, shook his head, dispersed the uncomfortable feeling in his ears, and his blood surged, almost vomiting blood.

  As he looked around, Qin Xuan's heart sank to the bottom of the valley. All he saw were thousands of dark cats, at least a thousand heads, densely packed, stretching as far as the eye could see. Their blood-red eyes were fixed tightly on him, and their mouths emitted low, eerie calls that made his scalp tighten.

  "This is going to be a tragedy."

  A faint bitter smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, Qin Xuan's footsteps slightly retreated backwards, and he was already prepared to slip away at any moment. Although over a thousand ghostly cats represented over a thousand second-grade magic cores, it still depended on whether he had the ability to obtain them.

  Not to mention the nearly unbeatable sixth-order Yinyuan Cat King, but the terrifying number of Yinyuan cats around him is enough to completely overwhelm him.

  "Roar!"

  Another loud roar, as if the king issued a military order, at that moment, thousands of dark cats moved, with a mournful and strange cry, they rushed to Qin Xuan in succession, their sharp claws tearing the surrounding thick fog into pieces.

  Tear apart.

  Thousands of ghostly cats simultaneously swung their claws, forming a massive blade, carrying an aura of destruction that tore through the air. Wherever it passed, even space was torn apart with a small crack, and the white bones on the ground instantly turned to dust, floating in the air.

  At this sight, even Rong was taken aback and couldn't help but take a deep breath. If the thirty-six ghostly cats from earlier were undisciplined scattered soldiers, then the thousands of ghostly cats now were the most well-trained elite troops!

  They are fundamentally on different levels.

  Especially behind this group of elite soldiers, there is a supreme ruler lurking in the shadows!

  "Courage!"

  With a loud roar, Qin Xuan didn't hesitate at all. The destructive power coming from the sharp blade made him smell the taste of death, and he even seemed to see the god of death walking towards him step by step. Only when his life was truly on the line did he have this strange feeling.

  A golden shield condensed in front of him, Qin Xuan didn't relax at all, the spiritual artifact 'Black Iron' moved horizontally to block, and the mysterious energy inside his body went crazy.

  "Laurent's dagger!"

  A powerful martial art from Fiona! Can withstand one attack! The spirit device 'Black Iron' great sword emits a layer of silver light all over its body.

  Hiss.

  Space tore apart, and the destructive blade arrived before him in the blink of an eye.

  "Psst."

  With just a slight touch, the precious spiritual artifact 'Black Iron' great sword shattered like fragile glass, crumbling inch by inch into dust. The destructive force of the blade's remaining momentum didn't decrease in the slightest, and it heavily fell onto the golden 'Courage' shield.

  Before he could feel the pain, Qin Xuan's face changed drastically, and he frantically poured his spiritual energy into the 'Bravery' shield. However, this didn't even have the effect of delaying time, and the golden shield shattered with a loud crash, dispersing into thin air.

  The destructive power of the sharp blade is unstoppable, with gods blocking and killing gods, Buddhas blocking and executing Buddhas. The momentum to destroy all things in the world is to swear to cut the young man in half!

  Seeing Qin Xuan was about to lose his life, at this critical moment, he endured the danger of being counterattacked by the mysterious energy and quickly dodged to one side.

  Hmph.

  Scarlet blood splattered everywhere, accompanied by an arm covered in fresh blood.

  Qin Xuan's reaction speed was fast, but still couldn't compare to the destructive power of Li Jian's blade. His entire left arm was cut off at the shoulder, and fresh blood stained his entire chest. The pain made his face turn pale, and he broke out in cold sweat, his body feeling weak and dizzy.

  Looking back at the destructive blade that plowed a deep gully on the ground, Qin Xuan bit his tongue to make himself more alert. Fortunately, his physical body was strong enough, otherwise he would have lost too much blood and fainted.

  Enduring the pain of his severed arm, Qin Xuan transformed into a streak of light and fled towards the distance without daring to look back.

  The Underworld Cat King was a sixth-tier magical beast, already possessing a certain level of intelligence. It clearly hadn't expected that this human, who seemed weak and insignificant in its eyes, could dodge the destructive blade. After a brief moment of stunned silence, it let out a deafening roar, with flames of rage burning fiercely within its heart.

  This weak and small human being has already killed so many of his own kind on his own turf, but this guy actually dares to try to escape right under his nose!

  If this matter were known to other sixth-order kings, how would the Youming Cat clan be able to intimidate other magical beasts in the inner ring in the future?

  "Ahh!"

  The surrounding ghostly cats seemed to have sensed the king's anger, and they all let out a loud roar, chasing after Qin Xuan in the direction he had left. From afar, it looked like thousands of horses and soldiers, with a continuous rumbling sound that shook the entire Flame Mountain Range.

  He sped along, Qin Xuan gritted his teeth, the excessive blood loss from his wounds made his entire face look bloodless, pale as paper, and there were threads of blood in his pupils. Several times he couldn't help but fall down, but every time he felt the terrifying killing intent behind him, and that oppressive pressure that almost stopped his heartbeat, he managed to hold on again.

  Qin Xuan had already forgotten how many wounds he had on his body, only knowing that he had lost a lot of blood, and his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier. His footsteps were becoming more and more difficult, and he really wanted to summon Fiona and Galen out, but as soon as he thought about the cost of summoning Fiona, he endured it in the end. If he only summoned Galen, it would just add another person running away.

  After an unknown period of time, the fiery forest disappeared, and a huge cave appeared in front of me. The entrance was about 50-60 meters high, and at the entrance was a small path made up of white bones that seemed to stretch on forever. From afar, it looked like a giant beast with its bloody mouth wide open, giving off an eerie feeling that sent shivers down my spine.

  Perhaps because the fog was too thick, or perhaps Qin Xuan's spirit was getting weaker and weaker, he didn't notice this point, and his whole body rushed towards the cave entrance.

  Arriving at the entrance of the cave, Qin Xuan couldn't help but turn his head back to look, vaguely seeing that the army of dark cats behind him had stopped unknowingly, standing still about a hundred meters outside the cave entrance, continuously letting out strange cries from their mouths.

  Especially the huge sixth-order Yin-yang cat king, constantly roaring, but not daring to cross half a step, looking at the mountain cave where Qin Xuan was located, with a deep fear in his eyes, as if there was something terrifying inside.

  At this sight, Qin Xuan didn't think much and with the high-intensity escape, plus the excessive blood loss that kept his mind in a tense state, he couldn't help but relax now, and the physical fatigue and mental exhaustion suddenly surged up, causing him to fall straight backwards.

  Just as Qin Xuan was about to fall to the ground, a red light flashed by, and Galen's majestic body suddenly wrapped him in his arms.

  "Thank you for your hard work."

  The corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and Galen let out a low hum, gazing at the dense army of ghostly cats outside. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, "Let you live for a little while longer."

  As soon as he finished speaking, Galen immediately picked up the young man and walked slowly into the pitch-black cave.
