Who is it?! Show yourself! The magic weapon attack was immediately countered, and there was actually a third person present. He was far too careless!
"Omitted." Before Wang Ping could finish speaking, without even looking, his magical artifact spun rapidly and blasted in one direction, its immense life force transforming into a powerful aura, making it even more formidable!
He hated this man to the core. He was about to capture the demonic beast, but this interruption caused it to escape again!
This beast was no match for him in speed, but it was more agile, especially when it entered the forest. It was like a fish in water. The forest was a hindrance to Wang Ping, but it was the best shield for Xiao Jin.
From that direction, an even larger silver light flashed and shot out rapidly.
A loud laugh rang out, and a person floated out of the forest in the blink of an eye.
"Why are you in such a hurry to hunt down a demonic beast?"
Who is this person?
Xiao Jin, feeling smug, stopped only after keeping a sufficient distance from the battlefield.
"Old man, you think you're so tough? You still managed to escape! Hahaha."
"Huh? It can talk! A demon beast?!" Just then, a figure appeared beside Xiao Jin. Its eyes were fixed on Xiao Jin, filled with greed and joy.
Little Gold's fur bristled, and it retreated slightly by more than ten meters, assuming a fighting stance.
Damn it, what's going on today? I've run into so many experts one after another? This person is dressed in white, dazzling in the night. Like a ghost, he's gotten closer to me without my noticing!
"Master, Boss, why haven't you shown up yet?" Little Jin was really anxious. Looking at these people, it seemed they all wanted to capture him as a demon pet. Thinking about this made Little Jin even more frustrated. Were these people blind? Couldn't they see that he had already formed a contract?
However, he dared not reveal the contract pattern casually, lest these people, upon seeing it, become disappointed and decide to kill him.
The person who intercepted Wang Ping was not Zhang Guodong, but someone else.
The person in front of Xiao Jin was someone else entirely.
This is getting interesting! There are three cultivators over level 40, and the one in front of Xiao Jin seems to be even more powerful than Qi Ping! Xiao Jin vaguely sensed a trace of magical power coming from him.
Nearly a master!
Little Gold has really met a formidable foe this time, and also a formidable foe to its master!
"It really is a demonic beast, hmm, a golden lion beast at that?" Just then, another person appeared on the other side of Little Gold, their words filled with surprise.
"It's you?!" The White Impermanence's expression changed drastically. It became very ugly, and his eyes seemed to spit fire; clearly, he disliked the newcomer very much.
"Haha, you 'white powder,' you can come, why can't I?" The newcomer was short and thin. But his eyes were piercing, and he had a shifty, rat-like look—that's exactly the kind of person he was.
But this short, thin fellow was dressed in a wide robe, the hem of which almost touched the ground. He looked quite comical.
But this man has a great name: Tiger King.
"White powder" is a name for the White Impermanence, used ironically to describe his fondness for white clothes and his slicked-back, pretty-faced appearance. His real name is "White Wind."
"Any monster that sees it will get a share; the strongest will win!" the Tiger King chuckled.
"Tiger King is right." A flash of silver light appeared; Little Gold had gained another person, the expert who had intercepted Wang Ping earlier. He was dressed in black, but his body was covered in fine silver mosquitoes that flashed with silver light as he moved, making him quite distinctive.
"Brother Wei, are you also going to get involved?" Bai Feng and Tiger King both greeted him, but they were both wary and showed no sign of friendliness. If Wei Qiwen tried to snatch it, they would kill him without hesitation.
Next up was Wang Ping.
His face was grim, but when he saw that there were two other people beside Xiao Jin, he was immediately taken aback. These two were both much stronger than him! His heart sank, and he immediately understood why Wei Qiwen had intercepted him.
If he were to obtain this demonic beast, both Bai Feng and the Tiger King would attack him. Near-Grandmaster level cultivators, and two of them at once, would absolutely defeat him, and he might even die. In short, this demonic beast was not for him!
However, Wei Qiwen is also a near-master level cultivator and is on good terms with our side. Whom will he help then?
While hesitating, Xiao Jin suddenly tried to escape.
But how could Xiao Jin possibly escape from three near-master level cultivators?
Bai Feng grabbed with his five fingers, creating a net-like barrier that trapped Xiao Jin, preventing him from escaping. However, the Tiger King was worried that Bai Feng would take Xiao Jin away, so he also made a move, but without harming Xiao Jin.
"Boom!"
The two forces collided, and Xiao Jin crashed to the ground, creating a large crater. The collision of life force and a minimal amount of magical power resulted in immense force, leaving Xiao Jin powerless to resist.
"I must have this demonic beast!" Bai Feng shouted, a fierce glint in his eyes.
"Pretty boy, you have quite the nerve!" Tiger King chuckled disdainfully.
Bai Feng disliked these insulting titles the most. He immediately slapped his storage bag, unleashing a burst of attack energy towards the Tiger King.
The attack happened so suddenly that it was impossible to defend against.
However, Tiger King was no pushover; this move by Bai Feng could not harm him.
Tiger King glanced at Wei Qiwen and a junior old man standing to the side, and said in a flash, "Pretty boy. We have time to fight! Brother Wei, are you going to get involved with that kid too, so the scoundrel can profit?"
Wei Qiwen's face darkened. To be honest, he really did have this plan, which was why he remained silent. But Tiger King was a cunning man, and he couldn't let him find an opening.
In a battle between near-master level cultivators, with equal cultivation levels, the outcome depends on the details.
The difference between magical artifacts can determine the outcome of a battle; the loser may be killed or injured.
Combat experience is also extremely important. In battles between experts, every move is either fatal or severely injured, making it extremely dangerous. One careless move can lead to utter defeat.
The methods employed are incredibly diverse, ranging from poison and trickery to traps and schemes.
Bai Feng was startled when his attack missed.
Indeed, in a fight between two people, the biggest fear is that someone will seize the opportunity. With Wei Qiwen by his side, he is like a tiger; once both are injured, Wei Qiwen can achieve his goal.
So Bai Feng also looked at Wei Qiwen.
Wang Ping was nothing in their eyes, so he was naturally ignored.
Being targeted by two near-experts, Wei Qiwen wasn't stupid. He immediately laughed and said, "Some upright gentlemen naturally disdain demonic beasts. But I don't believe in that. And that's part of the point—this is the first demonic beast to appear in the outside world!"
Bai Feng and the Tiger King seemed to exchange a knowing glance. They were planning to join forces.
"But Brother Bai Feng and Brother Tiger King are both here, and I'm not foolish enough to snatch this monster from them. Alright, I'll take my leave!" Wei Qiwen said with a pained expression and a sigh.
With a fist salute, Wei Qiwen turned and flew away.
Upon seeing this, Wang Ping's face flashed with jealousy and hatred, and he followed suit. If he stayed any longer, the first thing those two would do was definitely kill him, and then fight over the golden lion beast!
Once out of the forest, Wang Ping said reluctantly, "Brother Wei, are you really giving up on that golden lion beast? Perhaps we should hide for now?"
A hint of disdain flashed in Wei Qiwen's eyes, but he concealed it well. He said calmly, "Bai Feng and Tiger King are neither good at observation. They naturally understand that when geese and clams fight, old man Wang benefits. Staying here is pointless! Let's part ways here. Farewell!"
If it weren't for someone behind Wang Ping who made him wary, how could Wang Ping, with his cultivation level not even reaching the quasi-great master level, be on friendly terms with him?
After saying that, Wei Qiwen flew away and disappeared into the night.
Wang Ping faced a difficult choice. If Wei Qiwen left, then Bai Feng and Tiger King would inevitably clash. Did he have a chance?
If he wanted to protect himself, he only needed that one item to escape. This Golden Lion Beast had become a demon beast, and it was the first one of its kind in the outside world. Its owner represented status and prestige! Moreover, this Golden Lion Beast was a demon beast with great potential; once it matured, it would undoubtedly be a tremendous asset to its master!
Just then, a terrifying aura emanated from the forest, with continuous rumbling sounds.
Bai Feng and the Tiger King have begun their battle, and countless trees have been destroyed.
If this place is deserted and uninhabited, how can this sound be concealed?
"Hide and wait for an opportunity! It would be best if we both perished! Even if that doesn't work, I can still protect myself and leave!" Wang Ping turned and sped towards the forest, he had made up his mind.
Suddenly, just as Wang Ping entered the forest, the rumbling sound disappeared.
Two figures flew out of the forest; it was Bai Feng and Tiger King. They separated, one going east and the other west, circled around, and then met again.
"Wei Qiwen is quite clever!"
"Boy, come out here!" Tiger King Rat Eyes glared, turned and roared towards a dark corner. With a wave of his hand, a force blasted towards that spot.
"Bang!"
Wang Ping fled in a disheveled and terrified state. How could he have been discovered so quickly?
"It really is you, kid! You're courting death!" Tiger King chuckled upon seeing it was Wang Ping. "Brother Bai, it's up to you now. This kid actually dared to plot against them!"
Bai Feng nodded. There was no room for discussion!
Wang Ping asked in alarm, "How did you discover me?"
Tiger King and Bai Feng looked at Wang Ping with pity. The former sneered, "Since you know I am Tiger King, you should know Tiger King's special skills! Didn't Wei Qiwen tell you?"
Wang Ping was clearly confused.
But at this moment, confusion was useless. Bai Feng was about to strike. Wang Ping hurriedly patted his storage bag, and a yellow talisman appeared in his hand. He threw it at the two men, then turned and fled. Bai Feng and Tiger King's mocking laughter stopped abruptly, like ducks being strangled. The yellow talisman exploded with a snap, and a golden figure leaped out, wielding a long sword. With a single slash, an extremely powerful sword aura swept across the room.
Bai Feng and Tiger King's expressions changed drastically as they sensed a deadly threat! They roared and unleashed their ultimate defensive techniques, raising all their defenses. They also unleashed their strongest attacks in an attempt to neutralize some of the sword energy.
Rumble!
Boom!
Boom!
Two figures were thrown out in a disheveled state, flying hundreds of meters before crashing to the ground with a thud. Their fate remains unknown.
Wang Ping seemed to have anticipated this outcome, and his fleeing figure stopped. Instead, he sped off in the direction of Xiao Jin.
As expected, Little Gold was bound to the ground. A large, transparent dome trapped it inside. Little Gold tried to break free and push, but couldn't budge the dome at all, and roared in frustration.
"Haha, it's a special magic artifact, but it's only low-grade! It can only trap you for a moment!" Wang Ping was overjoyed.
Bai Feng and Tiger King were able to confidently launch a surprise inspection to check for ambushes because of this special, though not high-grade, magical artifact. If anyone touched it, they would immediately know.
Moreover, the Tiger King's tracking and counter-tracking skills are extremely powerful.
"You're mine now!"
