Chapter 108: The Fisherman

The endless mountain range, the sun high in the sky, several low snores sounded continuously. Occasionally, a few huge shadows swept across the sky, their wings flapping, stirring up a fierce wind, causing the ancient leaves on the ground to rustle.

Whoosh! Abruptly, as the sound of something cutting through the air rang out, a white figure had already darted several zhang. Little White's eyes scanned the surroundings for a moment.

A fierce beast, four or five zhang in size, was deep in slumber. Yang Tian and Little White carefully moved away. This was a third-rank fierce beast, formidable in strength, not something Yang Tian could provoke.

For half a day, Yang Tian had been searching for traces of Gu Mo, but so far had found none. Just as Yang Tian was about to leave, a sound of something cutting through the air came from afar.

"Someone's coming." Yang Tian's steps suddenly halted. He lay hidden in the dense forest, completely concealing his aura, his gaze fixed on the rapidly approaching figures in the distance.

"Two people." Looking at the other person, Yang Tian frowned slightly. This man's cultivation was about to break through to Tongxuan. With Gu Mo and him combined, Yang Tian's chances of victory were very low, let alone killing them.

"Alas..." Sighing, Yang Tian was about to leave when his gaze glanced at the sleeping fierce beast. Then he scratched his head, a sly grin spreading across his face.

"Little White, go lure them over."

Whoosh! A sound of something cutting through the air rang out. A white phantom flickered repeatedly through the dense forest, its speed even faster than Yang Tian's.

"What is that thing?" A flash of white light before his eyes, Gu Mo found that the white figure had already disappeared from sight, and he couldn't help but exclaim.

"Gu Mo, let's go check it out quickly. It looks like a small beast." The young man beside him seemed very interested, tossing out a sentence before already giving chase.

Seeing this, Gu Mo hesitated for a moment, then his movement technique flickered, and he plunged into the dense forest.

After about ten breaths, Little White leaped onto Yang Tian's shoulder. Not far from them, two panicked figures ran out, and the ground began to shake.

"Haha, the show begins." Sensing a huge black shadow behind them, Yang Tian patted Little White's head, completely concealed his aura, and pursued ahead.

In the endless mountains, a huge black shadow trampled the ground, ancient trees breaking as its body crashed through them. Although the two figures ahead were fast, this third-rank fierce beast was even faster.

"Gu Mo, stop running. A third-rank fierce beast won't cost us our lives." The young man beside Gu Mo stopped, turned to look at the black shadow not far away, and said in a deep voice.

"Roar!..." The fierce beast, four or five zhang tall, roared at the sky. Its body was covered in black bristles, its head very similar to a wolf's, but with a pitch-black horn on top. Its zhang-long tail constantly lashed the void, producing a series of sounds of cutting air.

"So it's a Horned Wolf Beast." Seeing the beast's full appearance, Yang Tian smiled. The Horned Wolf Beast was known for its speed, and even ordinary Tongxuan experts dared not challenge it head-on.

"Gu Qing, are you confident?" Gu Mo looked at the Horned Wolf Beast with some worry, bit his lip, and asked.

"Should be about right. I'm almost breaking through to Tongxuan." Nodding, Gu Qing said casually. Then, glancing at Gu Mo's somewhat nervous expression, a hint of disdain flickered in Gu Qing's eyes.

"Roar..." The Horned Wolf Beast roared at the sky, its aura rising step by step, violent energy surging continuously. The beast's body suddenly shook, and its zhang-long tail cut through layers of vacuum, striking toward the two of them.

Gu Qing's expression turned serious. On his fist, a faint red energy suddenly bloomed, surging with fierce force.

"Beast, you're asking for death!" Gu Qing laughed grimly. A faint purple energy surged from his fist. As the energy gathered, the power on his fist grew more terrifying, distorting the vacuum around it.

"Ancient Mountain-Breaking Fist!" With a deep shout, Gu Qing threw a punch. A fierce energy howled out, the surrounding vacuum completely exploded, and it struck the tail with full force.

Bang! Energy intertwined, air exploded continuously. Under the shockwave, Gu Qing's body was knocked back, retreating seven or eight steps before stopping.

"This idiot, actually taking a blow from the Horned Wolf Beast head-on, looking for death..." Gu Mo cursed inwardly as he glanced at the beast's unmoving body. At the same time, his hand flickered and a small seal appeared in his palm.

A palm-sized seal, pale red in color, with a lifelike golden dragon coiled atop, surrounded by divine patterns that stirred the heavens—this was a Dao artifact.

"So this is the Golden Dragon Seal. Every holy son is indeed dripping with wealth..." Yang Tian smiled as he looked at the artifact. The Dao artifact of an ancient holy land must be extraordinary, though it couldn't compare to his Golden Crow Divine Furnace, its grade was still high.

"Roar, roar..." The Horned Wolf Beast's fierce eyes fixed on the Golden Dragon Seal, sensing a heart-stopping aura within. Its entire aura surged once more.

"Two Dao artifacts. It seems their preparations are very thorough..." His gaze shifted to Gu Qing, who now held another small seal in his hand, this one topped with a blue dragon.

"The ancient holy land is indeed dripping with wealth—two Dao artifacts..." Yang Tian thought of the other three, who surely also had Dao artifacts on them. But he did not know that these artifacts did not belong to them; even in the ancient holy land they were rare, bestowed by the holy land's strong to capture Yang Tian.

The Horned Wolf Beast grew restless and irritable, locked onto by two extremely powerful artifacts, showing signs of turning to flee.

"Beast, die!" Seeing this, Gu Qing sneered coldly, tossing the blue dragon seal into the air. He frantically poured his inner energy into the seal, which suddenly expanded dozens of zhang.

A binding force spread out; the two seals complemented each other, blocking the Horned Wolf Beast's body front and back. Surging energy waves burst forth, shaking and killing toward the beast.

"Roar!..." The Horned Wolf Beast roared repeatedly, its entire body swelling. A violent aura climbed, and a black gas suddenly surged from within, wrapping around its body. Its whole demeanor underwent earth-shaking changes.

Bang! Bang!

As a third-rank beast, the Horned Wolf Beast was not so easily killed. Under the fierce attacks from above, it swung its massive paws, black gas billowing out, clashing head-on with the two seals.

Boom! Boom! In an instant, an energy storm formed over a hundred zhang radius. The earth-shattering blast tore apart countless ancient trees nearby, raising a cloud of dust and smoke—a truly horrifying scene.

Imprints descended from the sky, sparks splashing, creating patches of brilliant divine radiance. The body of the horned wolf beast was also extremely tough, constantly shaking this confined space.

"This horned wolf beast is indeed formidable." Some gazes of shock looked toward the battle site. Gu Qing's strength was very powerful, and the might emanating from the entire cyan seal was extremely fierce.

On the other hand, Gu Mo's situation did not look good. He had just stepped into the martial artist realm and had no mind to cultivate during this period. After activating the Golden Dragon Seal for a while, his face turned somewhat pale.

"I hope the others don't come for help..." Yang Tian's gaze swept around. If the others came for reinforcements, he wouldn't be able to play the role of the fisherman.

Sand and stones flew, fierce winds were terrifying. The entire battlefield was about to turn into a void zone. The horned wolf beast was repeatedly knocked down by the two seals, and its aura began to decline, clearly having expended a great deal.

"Roar, roar..." The horned wolf beast roared incessantly, its mountain-like feet swinging continuously. Black qi surged out from its body, and instantly, the ground trembled and directly exploded.

"This beast..." Gu Mo gritted his teeth, a trace of malice flashing in his eyes. At the corners of his mouth, traces of blood continuously seeped out, clearly indicating he had been shaken and injured.

"Dragging this out is not a solution. Let's use our killing moves together; this beast won't last much longer." Gu Qing activated the Azure Dragon Seal, pushing the horned wolf beast's body back, then swiftly retreated over ten zhang away, shouting in a deep voice.

"Alright." Hearing this, Gu Mo nodded, directly swallowed a handful of pills, and his withered qi sea began to churn, the potent medicinal power turning into surging blood and qi.

The rapidly filling blood and qi surged out, like streams of clear springs pouring into the Golden Dragon Seal. With the infusion of energy, the entire seal instantly expanded, and faintly, a golden flood dragon could be seen moving.

"Roar, roar..." Sensing such a massive energy fluctuation, the horned wolf beast roared repeatedly, a trace of unease flashing in its eyes.

Radiant light spread. The might of the cyan great seal far exceeded that of the golden great seal. Cyan light covered the sky, like a great river enveloping the body of the horned wolf beast, exceptionally dazzling, but beneath this brilliance, an extremely terrifying power burst forth.

"This fluctuation... so strong." Sensing an extremely fearsome aura slowly awakening, Yang Tian's expression turned serious as he gazed at the azure dragon within the great river. The azure dragon inside seemed to have come alive.

"These two Dao artifacts are not bad..." After glancing at the golden great river, Yang Tian grinned, a hint of satisfaction rising in his heart... This was a great offensive technique...
