39 Probing Caused Death

When Li Lingqi saw the thick blood mist, her expression instantly became extremely grave.

Without any hesitation, she pushed Chen Mu away!

"Junior Brother Chen, be careful! There's an evil cultivator!"

Before she could finish her words, she had already leaped into the air and charged toward Shen Yuan!

Sensing the powerful fluctuations in the blood mist, Chen Mu was shocked.

This was obviously a Foundation Establishment Cultivator!

He did not expect to encounter such an enemy during the mission!

'Old Zhang, you really gave me a good task!'

Boom!

The two of them collided in the sky. Fire spiritual energy scattered in all directions, and some of the blood mist was dispersed.

[Cultivation Power+8]

...

When the aftershock dissipated, the two figures in the sky reappeared.

Li Lingqi held a scarlet longsword in her right hand. The fire spiritual energy on it was spreading and spiritual light was shooting in all directions.

She held a small yellow bell in her left hand and shook it slightly. A thick layer of earth spiritual energy instantly spread out and formed a thick layer of bell-shaped earth barrier around her body.

The fire spiritual energy and earth spiritual energy complemented one another, giving one a feeling of 'divine'.

Then, she looked at the evil cultivator. There was only a bloody mist around him. He had not taken out any treasures.

...

Shen Yuan's face twitched slightly as he looked at the dense earth spiritual energy protection around Li Lingqi.

He did not expect that he had underestimated the cautiousness of the Azure Yang Sect.

It was one thing to send a core disciple to deal with a spirit monster of the third or fourth-stage Qi Refinement Realm, but to bring such protective treasures with her!

They were seriously insane!

Even though his cultivation was higher than the other party's, to break through that defense…

It would not be easy.

However, he did not give up immediately.

Compared to these young cultivators, his life experience and combat experience were much richer.

If he could not break through the other party's defense in a direct battle… he would have to think of another way.

At this thought, he subconsciously looked at Chen Mu in the crowd.

"Capture this boy and use him as a hostage!"

Just as he had this thought, Li Lingqi had already tossed the Immovable Bell to Chen Mu.

"Junior Brother! Take care! The spiritual energy will form a defense once it's injected!"

Chen Mu took the Immovable Bell, but he felt that something was amiss.

Now, Senior Sister Li was the main combat force. If she gave the Immovable Bell to him, then she…

Furthermore, could he use this treasure?

As expected, the evil cultivator in the sky was overjoyed instead of being angry!

"Hehehehe! You're too young!"

He laughed sinisterly and was about to attack again when a thick water screen appeared around Li Lingqi.

The water screen rippled and turned into a small blue pagoda that shone with dazzling spiritual light.

Shen Yuan was stunned!

Then, he cursed angrily!

"To hell with you!"

"Farewell!"

After cursing, he turned and ran without hesitation.

Today, he had met a weird sect like the Azure Yang Sect, there was no helping it.

It was one thing for the sect to be weird, but he must have met the daughter of the Sect Leader.

"Don't even think about leaving!" Li Lingqi shouted and shook her hand. A golden chain that looked like a dragon flew out and wrapped around the blood mist!

Shen Yuan turned around to take a look, and he was so scared that his soul almost left his body!

If he was captured alive and interrogated for secrets, the consequences would be worse than death!

Without hesitation, he bit the tip of his tongue and used a secret art!

In the blink of an eye, his speed skyrocketed. With a whoosh, he dashed hundreds of meters away!

Seeing this, Li Lingqi hesitated whether she should chase after him.

She was also afraid that something would happen to Junior Brother Chen after she left.

But if she did not chase after him…

This evil cultivator would definitely harm more people.

Just as she was hesitating, she suddenly recalled her father's instructions.

"Remember, give him some privacy."

With this thought in mind, she no longer hesitated. The fire spiritual energy around her surged as she chased after the blood mist.

...

This exchange only lasted for less than ten seconds. At this moment, the ordinary soldiers had only just reacted.

Hearing the name of the evil cultivator, everyone looked scared.

Evil cultivators did not practice Qi Cultivation or Body Tempering. Instead, they used all kinds of evil methods to improve their strength.

For example, blood, vitality, corpse aura, killing intent, Yin souls…

To take these shortcuts, one had to kill a lot of people.

In the past year, many tragedies had happened in the Flying Bull Prefecture. Ordinary people like them would pale at the mention of the evil cultivators.

"Everyone, don't panic. That evil cultivator is no match for the Immortal Master!" The leading general shouted to calm everyone down.

But at that moment, a gust of cold wind blew up from the mountain!

What followed was a strange rustling sound!

The horses of the supply convoy began to stir restlessly!

Chen Mu looked towards the source of the sound and saw a black tiger running down the mountain towards the supply convoy.

The black tiger was three times the size of the tiger in his previous life. It had a fierce look in its eyes and its body was extremely agile. With a leap, it covered dozens of meters and moved like an ape between the cliffs.

Coupled with the imposing manner of looking down from above, it really gave people an extremely strong psychological pressure.

"This… this is it!"

"The previous few times, it was this spirit monster that attacked the supply convoy!"

Someone among the soldiers exclaimed.

Chen Mu looked at the black tiger solemnly.

This was the black tiger that the mission had mentioned? It could seriously injure a cultivator at the tenth-stage of Qi Refinement?

Seriously?

In the eyes of ordinary people, this black tiger was indeed terrifying.

However, in the eyes of a cultivator at the eighth-stage of Qi Refinement, the black tiger was simply too slow.

Seeing many people looking at him, Chen Mu did not dare to be negligent.

Although he was doubtful, he still treated the black tiger as an expert.

After all, this was his first time fighting with a spirit monster!

Roar!

A tiger's roar shook the forest!

All the horses of the supply convoy collapsed to the ground!

The black tiger leaped up from tens of meters away and pounced at the supply convoy!

Under the sunlight, its fur shone brightly, looking extraordinarily mighty!

Chen Mu held his breath and bent his legs slightly. With the Mystic Spirit Thick Earth Shield in front of him, he jumped lightly!

He shot up into the sky at a speed several times faster than the black tiger!

Seeing the human and tiger about to collide, all the soldiers widened their eyes!

In the sky, the black tiger sensed someone coming from below and instinctively struck out with its claw!

Chen Mu looked at the slow claw and secretly tried to figure out if there was something hidden behind it.

After studying it for a while and seeing that the tiger claw was about to reach him, he subconsciously dodged it.

"I dodged it just like that?"

"That's it?"

The black tiger seemed to be shocked and revealed a flaw.

Chen Mu decided to give it a punch.

Spiritual energy gathered, and his fist was extremely fast as it smashed onto the black tiger's head.

Crack…

The sound of bones cracking could be heard and the black tiger started bleeding from its seven orifices. It was about to die…

Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat.

Only then did he remember that he was supposed to have a fortuitous encounter.

The appearance of this black tiger was actually a very good opportunity to leave the convoy.

When Senior Sister Li returned… it would probably be very difficult to have such an opportunity again.

At the thought of this, he looked at the black tiger whose tongue was already hanging outside!

"Brother Tiger! Wake up!"

"I'm just probing. Don't die yet!"

Chen Mu encouraged the tiger in his heart as he hugged the tiger head and punched it a few times. At the same time, he shouted loudly, "This tiger is extraordinary. I'll hold it back! You guys go first!"

After saying that, the spiritual energy in his body vibrated. The man and tiger in the sky suddenly changed their direction and fell onto the steep slope beside the road. Then, the man and tiger "fought" while rolling down the mountain.
