  That sphere was originally just the size of a fist, but as the energy contained within its scales was added in, it quickly grew, becoming several meters wide. A terrifying pressure caused space to tremble.

  “Now!” Long Chen suddenly circulated his Spiritual Strength and summoned Little Snow out of his spiritual space. Before Little Snow had even landed on the ground, a huge wind blade shot out of his mouth at the sphere in the Barbaric Wind Beast’s mouth.

  That sphere had just reached its energy-saturation point and had been just about to shoot out when Little Snow’s wind blade struck it.

  BOOM!

  It was like explosives had been set off. Little Snow’s wind blade was the trigger which caused the Barbaric Wind Beast’s attack to explode in its own mouth.

  Even the void seemed as if it might erupt. The Barbaric Wind Beast was unable to keep running and ended up tumbling across the ground while letting out pained roars.

  “Nice job, Little Snow!” This attack could be described as being perfect. This was all according to Little Snow’s plan, and this one attack was extremely effective. This had been even more effective than the explosive talisman Han Tianfeng had used previously.

  Little Snow roared a reply, and Long Chen rubbed Little Snow with his hand. Wind energy brought Long Chen flying atop Little Snow’s back, and Little Snow shot off into the distance.

  Little Snow had only just shot off when the Barbaric Wind Beast let out a heaven-shaking roar and once more chased after them.

  However, this time Long Chen could see blood dripping out of its mouth. In fact, its mouth had been blown open by that attack, and he could even see its two frightening fangs that were several meters long.

  “It really is attached to us,” sighed Long Chen. But with Little Snow taking Long Chen’s place to run, it gave him some time to rest. He just needed to keep watch over the Barbaric Wind Beast’s attacks.

  Little Snow was not at all slower than Long Chen’s top speed. More importantly, Little Snow was specialized in running long distances and had much greater endurance than Long Chen. His speed wouldn’t necessarily decline even after running for a full month.

  If Little Snow hadn’t been heavily injured before, then Yin Luo would not have been able to catch up to him with his speed.

  Now that Little Snow’s injuries were all healed, the two of them no longer had to have any misgivings. They were crazily rushing forward, the wind whistling around them. However, the air resistance no longer posed any trouble.

  “I actually forgot that Little Snow is also a wind attribute Magical Beast. Then that Wind Spirit Crystal should be of great assistance to him.” Only now did Long Chen recall that as a wind attribute Magical Beast, Little Snow had an innate control over wind energy.

  Thinking of the mountain full of wind spirit stones in his spatial ring and that Wind Spirit Crystal in his spiritual space, Long Chen’s smile threatened to split his face apart.

  “As I thought, greed is the greatest motivation for humanity to advance.” Long Chen couldn’t help but sigh. Now it seemed he had tossed out the bit of wisdom that said a person couldn’t be too greedy.

  The more daring a person was, the greater the gains they could make. Courage was money.

  “As I thought, a person should be humane. A good person gets good rewards. I’ve finally learned how to have a humane heart.”

  Holding a wind spirit stone in his hand and sensing the pure wind energy coming from it, he had an infatuated expression.

  If his words were to be heard by Zhao Mingshan or the other Chosen, they would definitely have to come back as ghosts to get their revenge on him.

  Two powerful Chosen had died without even knowing how, all because he had ‘repaid enmity with kindness’.

  Two hours passed. They had traveled thousands of miles, but that Barbaric Wind Beast was still close behind them. It didn’t show the slightest signs of tiring.

  However, what both gratified and disappointed Long Chen was that it no longer opened its mouth to attack and simply followed along. It would only occasionally let out an angry roar.

  If it decided to foolishly attack a couple more times, then with Little Snow’s assistance, he could definitely toy this powerful beast to death.

  But the Barbaric Wind Beast was smarter than that. Obviously, by not attacking, it was planning on making this a battle of attrition. It was healing its injuries while chasing. Furthermore, it possessed an enormous amount of wind energy, and so it wasn’t at all afraid of getting tired.

  “Aowu!” Little Snow shot past two mountain ranges; his speed increased even more.

  “Haha, I know you won’t lose to it. You’re always the best!” Long Chen lightly patted Little Snow’s back. Funnily enough, Little Snow usually had the temperament of a cute child and was extremely competitive.

  “Little Snow, don’t push yourself too hard. That beast has a vast amount of energy. We’ll have to prepare for a battle of endurance,” warned Long Chen.

  Long Chen noticed that the terrain was changing. There were more and more mountain ranges, and the short underbrush was growing taller.

  He also saw tracks of other Magical Beasts; in other words, as they continued forward, they were very likely to enter the territories of other Magical Beasts.

  If Little Snow went too fast and ran into them, then even if they were of a similar ranking to Little Snow, they might take the initiative to fight with Little Snow and Long Chen to protect their territories.

  But then if they kept the pace a bit slower and maintained a distance of around five to ten miles from the Barbaric Wind Beast, then its terrifying aura would make it so that other Magical Beasts wouldn’t even dare take a look.

  Long Chen was sitting on Little Snow’s back as they rushed along. On the way, they ran into quite a few cultivators who were searching for various treasures or opportunities.

  When they saw Long Chen, Little Snow, as well as that huge mountain-like Barbaric Wind Beast behind them, they all turned to stone.

  The terrifying pressure coming from the Barbaric Wind Beast chilled them to their bones. Even though they were hundreds of miles away, they still felt as if their hearts were being squeezed.

  “Just who is that? Is he playing with his life? How could he provoke a fifth rank Magical Beast?”

  None of them had recognized the Barbaric Wind Beast, but they could all tell its rank from the pressure coming from its body.

  “He’s wearing a baby mask? When did the Righteous disciples start acting like this?” A Corrupt Favored looked on in amazement from a distance.

  The beaming smile on that baby mask made people feel like this person was definitely just playing around. But to play around with a fifth rank Magical Beast, he was definitely playing with his life.

  BOOM!

  As Long Chen and Little Snow were rushing along, a large figure appeared ahead of them. That was a three-horned monster yak. Its body was around a hundred meters long, and it emitted a much stronger pressure than Little Snow.

  However, once it looked in Little Snow’s direction, it began to flee for its life. It would be more accurate to say that it had seen the Barbaric Wind Beast behind Little Snow. It didn’t even care about its lair, instead immediately running.

  “Follow it, Little Snow! We need a little bit more enthusiasm here. Let’s make this more lively for everyone.”

  Under Long Chen’s directions, the Magical Beasts in this area all fled from their lairs. Long Chen brought the Barbaric Wind Beast running all around, alarming all the Magical Beasts that were hiding within their territories. They all began to flee like stray dogs.

  The distant experts watching this were all stupefied. The startled Magical Beasts were running in all directions, scaring these disciples into also fleeing frantically.

  “Little Snow, do you feel a kind of high-spirited, excited feeling?” Seeing those beasts, all with their own powerful auras, being sent scattering over the hills because of the two of them, Long Chen involuntari
ly felt some pride.

  “Aowu!”

  “Hehe, as long as you like it! It really is too refreshing.” Long Chen laughed heartily. In any case, the Barbaric Wind Beast didn’t dare attack anymore, and so they were temporarily safe.

  As they were rushing along, Long Chen suddenly saw a familiar figure standing in the mountains.

  Chapter 352 Only I, Mo Nian, Will Rise to Glory

  That person was tall and sturdy, looking like an iron pagoda. Not a single hair grew on his head. Even though he was standing in a mountain forest, his head was like a shining full moon.

  “Gu Yang!”

  Long Chen smiled. He now ran into another familiar face other than Guo Ran.

  He was gratified to see that Gu Yang was now emitting a powerful aura. A kind of Dao charm seemed to circulate around him.

  Hehe, this little fellow’s not bad. He’s become a Favored.

  That aura coming from Gu Yang’s body was unmistakable. However, Long Chen didn’t know just whose Dao-mark he had seized.

  But Long Chen was happy to see that Gu Yang was now holding a golden spear, the same golden spear that had been taken from him by that fellow from the thirty-sixth monastery.

  Currently, Gu Yang was hiding in the distance, looking in Long Chen’s direction with horror.

  The Barbaric Wind Beast’s pressure made him feel like he couldn’t even move, and a cold chill reached deep into his bones. That man and white-colored wolf running ahead of it looked to be almost herding a large group of third to fourth rank Magical Beasts, scaring him witless.

  Looking at that snow-white beast, Gu Yang naturally felt it was familiar. However, he didn’t know Little Snow had advanced to the fourth rank, and so he only felt it was somewhat familiar.

  The other thing he felt was familiar was that masked man’s figure. An unyielding arrogance came from that body, and the more he looked at it, the more familiar it felt to him. However, he couldn’t be sure.

  “Hey, little fellow, why are you staring at me like that? Anyway, I like your hairstyle, so I’ll bestow this thing to you.”

  Gu Yang was stunned, just foolishly watching. Long Chen laughed and threw a wind spirit stone over to him.

  Hearing that voice, Gu Yang immediately recognized that this person had to be Long Chen. Catching the wind spirit stone, he saw that Long Chen had already rushed off with his large army of Magical Beasts.

  “Boss hasn’t died!” Gu Yang excitedly clenched the wind spirit stone. Other than the photographic jade of Long Chen killing a woman, Gu Yang had also seen one of Long Chen being chased by Yin Luo.

  Although that photographic jade had been recorded from a great distance, Gu Yang had clearly recognized the two of them.

  The majority of people all felt that the person being chased had definitely died. Although Gu Yang had confidence in Long Chen, he had only been in the Blood Condensation realm at that time, so Gu Yang couldn’t help but worry.

  However, after hearing Long Chen’s voice, he naturally recognized him. Furthermore, who else but Long Chen would just throw over a treasure to him?

  The main point that proved Long Chen’s identity was the fact that Gu Yang knew no one else who would do something so crazy. Who would possibly decide to play by running around with a terrifying fifth rank Magical Beast?

  The fact that Long Chen was in good health caused his confidence to multiply. Watching as Long Chen disappeared into the distance, Gu Yang also continued on his own adventure.

  Seeing that Gu Yang was fine also greatly improved Long Chen’s mood. Danger was omnipresent within the Jiuli secret realm. Any of them could die at any moment.

  To be able to see one of his fellow disciples was one of the greatest possible boosts to his morale. He felt even more enthusiasm to get going.

  “Mush! Mush…!”

  Long Chen was constantly urging the Magical Beasts to continue fleeing. Billowing smoke sprang up for thousands of miles wherever Long Chen went.

  The distant spectators were all stunned.

  “Who is this person? How is he so terrifying?”

  “Instead of searching for treasures, he decided to squander his time like this? If that monster behind him catches up, wouldn’t he just be forfeiting his life?” Some people shook their heads, not understanding what this person was doing.

  A group of distant Corrupt disciples was being led by a Chosen. They icily watched. “Hmph, the Righteous path’s idiocy really is limitless. Just because they have a fast mount, they have the energy to do something like this? I bet this guy will play himself to death soon!”

  “Senior apprentice-brother Ji is right. The Righteous path is just a pack of idiots. Whenever they see us, they’re like mice that have seen cats. Cowards.”

  Another Corrupt expert immediately agreed with that surnamed Ji Chosen.

  “Only our Corrupt path’s men are interesting. The Righteous path’s idiots are all impressive-looking but absolutely trash good-for-nothings.” An enchanting woman was holding the Chosen’s arm coyly.

  “Hey, what’s going on? Those Magical Beasts are coincidentally coming our way!” Someone let out a startled cry.

  “Shit, that’s not a coincidence. He’s purposely herding them towards us. Run!” The Corrupt Chosen looked down disdainfully on Long Chen and led his group away.

  In truth, Long Chen wasn’t trying to just play around with these Magical Beasts. He was hoping he could draw out a Magical Beast on the same level as the Barbaric Wind Beast. Then he would have a high chance of escaping.

  Magical Beasts were all very sensitive towards their territories. That was because their territories contained what they relied on in order to survive.

  Whenever other Magical Beasts dared step into their territory, they would go all-out to kill them. That was especially true of Magical Beasts that were the same rank as them. They would assume they had come to steal their treasures, and so they would fight with their lives on the line.

  If Long Chen could lead this group of Magical Beasts into the territory of a Magical Beast on the same level of the Barbaric Wind Beast, then that Magical Beast would definitely ignore these small fries and focus on the Barbaric Wind Beast. Then Long Chen could run away safely.

  But he was disappointed that the strongest Magical Beast he had run into was only a Blue-spotted Storm Leopard at the peak of the fourth rank.

  In the beginning, that beast had come out extremely arrogantly to face off against Little Snow. But then it had seen the Barbaric Wind Beast.

  Against Little Snow, it had puffed up its body arrogantly in order to scare him off.

  But then this immoral beast had gone from a tiger to a kitten and immediately turned to flee. That had angered Long Chen so much that he had directly cursed it. With just that little courage, how could it be considered a Magical Beast? What happened to its tyrannical nature?

  Not a single Magical Beast he ran into dared to bark out a single sound in the face of the Barbaric Wind Beast. They had all fled with their tails tucked between their legs. Long Chen had wandered a whole loop without finding any opportunity to escape.

  Just as he had been looking around for a way to shake off the Barbaric Wind Beast, he had suddenly noticed a group wearing Corrupt path robes. He had seen them pointing at him disdainfully. Although he couldn’t hear what they were saying, just looking at their idiotic expressions, he could tell they weren’t saying anything good.

  He had already been holding back a stomach full of fire. Now seeing there were people who were actually provoking him and that they were from the Corrupt path, how could Long Chen overlook them? He guided his army of Magical Beasts to charge at them.

  The funny thing to Long Chen was that those idiots actually hadn’t realized his intentions and had continued pointing at him.

  Only when they were under a hundred miles away did their expressions change, and they began to flee for their lives.

  However, they had clearly underestimated these Magical Beasts’ speed. Not everyone po
ssessed Long Chen’s speed. If Long Chen hadn’t trained in the Netherworld Ghost Steps, he also wouldn’t be able to run faster than these four-leggers.

  “AHHH!”

  A miserable scream rang out as a Corrupt disciple was hit by a tusked porcupine, instantly turning into a bloody mist.

  These Magical Beasts didn’t go out of their way to kill these Corrupt disciples. They were focused on fleeing from the Barbaric Wind Beast, and they only attacked when one of them ended up getting in their way.

  “AHHH!”

  “Save me!”

  Miserable screams continued to ring out. At this point, there were hundreds of Magical Beasts in Long Chen’s army. They surged out like the tide, and the ground for hundreds of miles was constantly trembling.

  “AHHH!” Suddenly, a woman’s blood-curdling shriek rang through the air. The enchanting woman that had been by the Corrupt Chosen’s side had been pierced through by the leg of a huge spider.

  That spider had to be the size of a house, and its leg’s sharp end was like a small pillar, almost causing her body to split into two pieces.

  She was a Favored with a powerful cultivation base. She had a tenacious life force, and she didn’t instantly die.

  But that wasn’t necessarily fortunate. In fact, it could be considered extremely unfortunate as that spider’s leg had many sharp barbs. Once she was pierced through, she continued to stay on the leg and was unable to free herself.

  Following the spider’s frantic fleeing, she was constantly flung up and down, causing her to vomit blood over and over.

  “Senior apprentice-brother Ji… save me…” That woman used her last strength to cry out to the Corrupt Chosen who was fleeing. As long as he returned and cut off its leg, then since she was a powerful Favored, she would still have a chance to survive.

  Unfortunately, that Corrupt Chosen, the one who was a true man in her eyes, seemed to have gone deaf and ignored her plea.

  As that spider continued running, she was finally unable to endure any longer, and her body broke apart.
