The astral wind howled.
Li Qu stood on his flying Magic Tool, frequently questioning the Musk Dog.
“Woof woof!”
Upon receiving the response from the Musk Dog, Li Qu was immediately relieved, and joy spread across his face.
“Well, he hasn’t escaped!”
Upon saying this, he immediately accelerated the infusion of his mana.
However, the speed of his Class II lower-grade flying Magic Tool was inevitably limited, reaching its limit very quickly.
Feeling the frustratingly slow speed, Li Qu couldn’t help but curse under his breath.
“This Magic Tool is really holding me back!”
“If I had a Class II upper-grade flying Magic Tool last time, I would have caught that brat long ago!”
“Right, the Magic Tool that brat is probably using must be a Class II upper-grade flying Magic Tool…”
Li Qu couldn’t help but work this out secretly in his heart.
“As soon as I meet face-to-face with him, I’ll seal off his way out, and immediately take action. I absolutely cannot give him any time to react. Once I’ve caught that brat, I’ll take his flying Magic Tool first to prevent him from escaping again like last time.”
“Later, I’ll take all his Storage Bags. Demon Cultivators never trust anyone, so Lin Xiwen’s most treasured items must be in his Storage Bag.”
“Then I’ll kill him and leave… No wait, I can’t kill him for now. If I do and the Tianmen Cult finds out, it will be troublesome. It would be better to capture him and sell him to other Demon Cultivators once I leave Yan State.”
“This way, it’ll be the best of both worlds!”
He repeated the situation in his heart once more to make sure that there were no flaws in his plan.
After all, he was dealing with a cultivator from the Tianmen Cult. Despite the fact that he was just a novice who had only entered the Foundation Establishment phase not too long ago, Li Qu did not dare to underestimate him in the slightest.
His boldness and carefulness were the biggest reasons he’d managed to reach his current status from being a mere low-ranked rogue cultivator.
Soon, he saw a desolate gorge. Once he passed this gorge, he would reach his destination.
Distant thunder rumblings were faintly audible in the sky.
Li Qu didn’t think too much of it and quickly flew over the gorge on his flying Magic Tool.
From far away, he saw a mass of dark clouds dispersing in the sky before he had time to think. He spotted a black speck as far as his eyes could see.
“There!”
Li Qu was elated, and without a moment’s delay, he lowered his flying Magic Tool and hugged the ground as he flew quickly towards that black spot!
“There are more thunder clouds!”
A sword-light abruptly stopped in mid-air, revealing a puzzled Zhao Feng.
He couldn’t help but look in the southwest.
Although he couldn’t see anything, the feeling from his body made him faintly sense the weak heavenly power coming from that direction.
What confused him was that this thunder tribulation was too strange. One moment there would be two or three thunderbolts, the next moment another two or three.
Using an awkward analogy, it felt like someone peeing in fits and starts.
It felt really uncomfortable.
Moreover, its force did not resemble a cultivator’s Golden Core Tribulation at all.
He had seen a cultivator from the East Saint Sect undergoing the Golden Core Tribulation before. It was completely different.
If he had initially wanted to see if this thunder tribulation could inspire him in some way, now he was utterly curious about the trapped person underneath it. Who was undergoing the tribulation here?
And what exactly was this tribulation?
Upon thinking of this, unable to contain his curiosity, Zhao Feng immediately operated his soul and mana. Transforming into a sword-light, he easily broke the astral wind and whistled southwest.
Not long after, he saw a large river roaring down from the plateau, splashing countless waves.
He didn’t make any stop and swooshed over the river. Shortly after, he saw a mass of thunder clouds slowly dissipating in the sky ahead.
“I have reached!”
The sword-light once again came to a halt, revealing Zhao Feng.
He curiously looked towards the area beneath the thundercloud, and then his heart jolted involuntarily.
Not far from the clouds, he faintly saw a black spot that was somewhat familiar!
“Junior brother?!”
For the first time, a look of astonishment appeared on Zhao Feng’s usually expressionless face.
Before he even got startled and thrilled, he suddenly felt a sensitive shift in his spiritual state!
The Soul Nurturing Bead within his body spun rapidly!
His eyes became as sharp as a sword!
As if piercing through the great distance, he instantly spotted a pudgy figure on the distant ground. The figure was rapidly rushing towards the black spot in a highly covert manner!
And the black spot remained stationary, completely oblivious!
“It’s a middle-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator!”
“Oh no!”
In an instant, without even thinking, Zhao Feng transformed into a flying sword and shot out!
Looking at Wu 5, who was pinned down by the Wu Monkey King and unable to move, Wang Ba felt rather speechless.
Even though these guys had already seen the outcome of their same kind earlier, without exception, all of them rebelled after smoothly passing through the Minor Heavenly Thunder Tribulation.
Perhaps every Mountain Moving Ape felt they were special, believing that what others couldn’t achieve, they surely could.
That was the only explanation Wang Ba could think of.
But glancing at the corpse of another Mountain Moving Ape nearby, Wang Ba couldn’t help but feel regret.
Although he had pushed their condition to the limit, the heavenly power was ultimately unpredictable during a tribulation.
Moreover, this Minor Heavenly Thunder Tribulation had changed, morphing from a single thunderbolt into three, its power had increased somewhat.
In the end, a mother ape failed to survive the Minor Heavenly Thunder Tribulation. Her soul was shattered, and her body never recovered.
This made Wang Ba’s idea of exploiting flaws fade immediately.
The Heavenly Dao was vast, it wouldn’t be so easy to find loopholes.
The apes were getting stronger, so naturally, the corresponding thunder tribulation became stronger as well.
This was a test from the heavens for the Mountain Moving Ape species. Wang Ba could adjust their condition to their fullest potential, but he couldn’t reverse the difficulty of the trial.
This made Wang Ba worry about the Wu Monkey King.
Wu 1, and the others were only of the lower grade and had to face three thunder tribulations.
But the Wu Monkey King, whom he had nurtured to a Class II middle grade, would face a thunder tribulation that surely wouldn’t be any weaker.
So, Wang Ba hesitated.
He wondered if he should prepare a little longer before proceeding with the tribulation.
Not undergoing tribulation was impossible. Even if Wang Ba didn’t add any more lifespan to the Wu Monkey King, it wouldn’t be long before it reached maturity on its own. At that time, there would still be a thunder tribulation.
He casually put a Spirit Beast Collar on Wu 5, who had been beaten down, and threw it directly into his Storage Bag.
At the same time, he took out a small jug of chicken essence for the Wu Monkey King to consume, to replenish its strength and ensure it remained in good condition.
However, at this moment, in the Temple of Yin’s Government, the Power of the Yin God suddenly started to rotate rapidly!
“There’s danger!”
Wang Ba was instantly on alert!
His spiritual sense swept through the area within several hundred feet, and at the same time, his eyes swiftly scanned the surroundings.
However, to his confusion, he found nothing.
“Could it be that a powerful cultivator just passed by accidentally?”
Just as he was puzzled, his spiritual sense suddenly noticed a figure shooting across the ground!
His spiritual sense scanned the deliberately distorted figure, but Wang Ba immediately recognized the person by their aura.
“It’s him! The cultivator surnamed ‘Gao’!”
Wang Ba instantly recognized him to be the slightly chubby cultivator he had encountered both in Linglong Ghost Market and Nichang Ghost Market.
Though he knew the other party’s surname wasn’t really Gao, but he also didn’t know the exact surname.
But at this moment, his heart was filled with confusion.
“How does he know I’m here?”
But such thoughts only flashed by.
Since he sensed danger, Wang Ba naturally didn’t dare to waste words. Without thinking, he immediately summoned his flying magic tool!
Bang!
The formation he had set up previously was instantly smashed by the slightly chubby cultivator, and Wang Ba took advantage of this moment to activate his flying magic tool.
However, the next second, his face changed drastically!
A spider web magic tool fell from the sky, unexpectedly ensnaring Wang Ba directly!
The spider web wasn’t particularly tough, but it would take some time to break through it, and Wang Ba was exactly short of time at this moment!
“Damnit!”
“Haha, you can’t escape!”
“I’ll cut off your flying magic tool first, let’s see how you can escape!”
While the chubby cultivator spoke, a hammer-shaped magic tool immediately flew out of his sleeve, heading straight towards Wang Ba and the flying magic tool under his feet!
However, at this moment, a figure arrived later but acted first, rushing to Wang Ba’s front. Frail arms directly blocked in front of Wang Ba, palms facing outwards—
Boom!
The hammer-shaped magic tool crashed down forcibly, but was withstood by the Wu Monkey King who had suddenly rushed up!!!
A crackling sound immediately emerged from the Wu Monkey King’s hand bones!
The slightly chubby cultivator who had rushed over showed a moment of surprise, looking at Wu Monkey King in disbelief.
And Wang Ba, who was behind him, finally came to his senses. Not caring about the injury of Wu Monkey King, he gritted his teeth, took advantage of the chubby cultivator’s astonishment, and immediately took out Jia 15 and Jia 16 from the Spirit Beast Bag to deal with the spider web magic tool.
He did not summon more spirit beasts since being in the spider web, too many spirit beasts would hinder him.
“So there is such a spirit beast!”
The slightly chubby cultivator stared at Wu Monkey King, a look of surprise in his eyes!
He had never thought that within this Tianmen Cult cultivator’s possession, there was such a valuable Class II middle-grade spirit beast!
“Haha, all of these will be mine!”
As the chubby cultivator laughed, he immediately released two Class II Thunder Seeds!
Bang!
Bang!!
Under the sounds of explosion, Wu Monkey King’s body was all bloody. However, he stood still, bravely bearing the brunt!
Seeing this, Wang Ba gritted his teeth and pulled an item from his storage bag.
A human skin drum!
He immediately struck the drum as hard as he could with all his soul!
Thor!
A soft sound, silent, fell into the chubby cultivator’s ears, but it seemed like countless noises exploded!
His movement stopped instantaneously!
A moment of panic flashed through the chubby cultivator’s eyes!
He didn’t expect that this unassuming cultivator, who was obviously a novice in the Foundation Establishment, would have such a trick up his sleeve!
A very rare soul attack!
However, he immediately bit his tongue to clear his spiritual sense!
He promptly tried to control the hammer-shaped magic tool again, planning to bypass the ape and aim at Wang Ba.
However, what he encountered was droplets of water, like jade dew, shooting out from the gaps in the spider web!
“Crafty minnow tactics!”
A sinister smile appeared on the chubby cultivator’s face!
A barrier immediately rose around his body, intending to block these water droplets!
However, the moment he came into contact with the water droplets, the chubby cultivator’s face changed dramatically.
“Shit!”
“It’s a powerful spell!!!”
But the water droplets came too fast!
They broke through the chubby cultivator’s barrier effortlessly. Only then did the chubby cultivator react, his face filled with fear as he hurriedly prompted his defensive tool.
The water droplets were continuous, striking the defensive tool.
The light on the tool dimmed momentarily under their impact.
But after all, this was a Class II, middle-grade defensive tool which just managed to block these jade dew water droplets!
The water droplets shattered.
The chubby cultivator had not yet had time to show a relieved smile.
But in a split second, he sensed that something was not right, but it was too late to react.
Swoosh!
Twenty-eight invisible Iris needles shot out from the shattered water droplets, piercing into the chubby cultivator’s body.
In an instant, the surrounding area fell silent.
Looking at Wang Ba, who seemed terrified and relieved, the chubby cultivator opened his mouth, his eyes filled with unwillingness, disbelief, and confusion.
“You… why did you run away before…”
He resented it!
You’re so strong, you even know how to use powerful spells, why the hell did you run away when you saw me before?!
Are you sick?!
Do you know you misled me?!
However, with a mouthful of words, he ultimately could not utter a single curse.
As the twenty-eight invisible Iris needles pierced through his body, his body softened as if it had no bones, collapsing onto the ground, the light gradually faded from his eyes.
Swoosh.
A sword-light landed in front of Wang Ba and retracted its glow.
It was then that Zhao Feng’s shocked face was revealed.
