It resembles a tiger, with skin as dry as withered wood, deep-set, cold eyes, and wings on its body. When it inhales, wind and clouds surge; when it exhales, the sound of drums roars.
This is the image of Qiongqi, one of the four fierce beasts recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
To my surprise, I encountered this kind of monster again in the Book City's Shuxiang County today. According to the Classic of Mountains and Seas, Qiongqi likes to watch people duel and will devour the righteous party who is in the right. If the other party is ruthless and vicious, Qiongqi will capture wild beasts and give them to the other party to encourage them to do more evil deeds.
Such ancient ferocious beasts can actually be found on this continent. Does this mean the Classic of Mountains and Seas from my previous life was real or fake? If it is real, what is its connection to this continent? Could there be some kind of link between the two?
The relationship between them requires time to ponder.
With the powerful Qiongqi, a beast comparable to a Great Luo Golden Immortal, right here, Ye Tian had no time to think about anything else.
When two armies meet on a narrow path, the brave one will prevail.
Since we can't escape, we have to fight!
This was Qiongqi's territory. Nearly several hundred auras nearby remained silent. Their arrogance gradually subsided.
Monsters have a strong sense of territory. Since this area is Qiongqi's territory and it guards rare and precious materials, no other monsters will come here.
Otherwise, it would be an infringement.
Ye Tian's only enemy at present is this Qiongqi.
Qiongqi, one of the four ancient ferocious beasts!
Its body resembled a tiger, with wings. It was extremely fast. The moment Ye Tian revealed his killing intent, Qiongqi's eyes flashed with ferocity, and it arrived suddenly like a whirlwind.
Within its gaping maw, the starlight formed from demonic marrow, along with various runes and veins, were fully revealed, and it lunged at Ye Tian with a single bite.
"Clang!" The sound of metal clashing suddenly rang out. Huge teeth, inlaid with runes and magic arrays, bit down on Ye Tian's body.
Ye Tian's face paled slightly, his teeth sinking deep into his body, yet failing to penetrate. Qiongqi's lightning-fast speed was too great, giving him no chance to activate his Sky-Treading and Earth-Stomping Boots before it bit down.
Fortunately, Ye Tian's defenses were astonishing, and he wasn't bitten through, but he still felt some pain. Waves of stinging pain, like being stung by bees, assaulted him.
Seeing that its bite had failed to pierce Ye Tian, Qiongqi began to exert its full force from its gaping maw. With each breath, the wind howled and the drums roared, incredibly reckless and swift. Its unparalleled speed seemed determined to shatter every bone in Ye Tian's body.
Ye Tian has always believed in one principle: attacking is the best way to let go.
Back then, his master was besieged by the Hundred Sects of the Cloud Mist Mountain Range. In addition to comprehending the Immortal Slaying Sword Technique, Ye Tian also improved his punch technique based on these combat experiences.
Later, Ye Tian's combat experience increased and accumulated. He was able to fight against a hundred opponents who were five realms above him. His combat experience was undoubtedly the most valuable in this world.
Therefore, he later perfected that set of boxing techniques many times. The Arhat Fist, with its extremely strong and yang energy, is most effective at dispelling demons and monsters, and suppressing evil spirits.
It hadn't been used for a long time, but this set of Arhat Fist had already been modified by Ye Tian to be the most suitable for him; it was tailor-made for him.
Even if you don't use it even once, it's absolutely perfect. The moment you start the pose, you feel a sense of perfect harmony with the Dao, a feeling that resonates with the natural world.
Qiongqi's tail is like a thick whip, its belly like a thick wall, and its neck like a round barrel, making it extremely difficult to deal with. It seems to have no flaws whatsoever. But everything in the world has its flaws.
His impeccable, almost perfect physique was marred only by his ears. Ye Tian's fists flew out, his glare like that of a wrathful Arhat transformed into a powerful king!
Bang!
A muffled thud.
The fist's intent stirred up a gust of wind, mixed with countless extremely masculine inscriptions and symbols. Ye Tian was an extremely powerful array master, his arms engraved with nearly countless runes. When his fist landed on Qiongqi's ears...
A muffled boom.
Qiongqi's figure was suddenly sent flying backward.
All of this happened in the blink of an eye, at the level of Ye Tian and Qiongqi, who were practically immortal beings capable of breaking the wall of time, so it was just a mustard seed. It didn't even last a moment's breath.
Liu Rushi and Chu Feng were completely stunned until the brief exchange ended.
The two then saw Qiongqi's figure being thrown out by Ye Tian like a cannonball, crashing and flying backwards.
Liu Rushi exclaimed in surprise, "Senior brother! You actually managed to defeat Qiongqi, a Great Luo Golden Immortal?"
Ye Tian gently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his brows furrowing even more deeply. This Qiongqi was extremely difficult to deal with. Its terrifyingly high cultivation level was only one aspect; most importantly, it had thick skin and tough flesh. With the brute strength of a demonic beast and its demonic marrow, it was as tenacious as an unkillable cockroach.
It is utterly impossible to simply confront and kill them.
Those two punches seemed to have the upper hand. But in reality, Qiongqi was unharmed, only a little sore from the impact. On the contrary, his own injuries were more or less related to the battle.
I am afraid.
This fierce battle will be very difficult to win.
Ye Tian wiped the blood from his lips, showing no fear.
In a close contest, the brave prevail. Even with only a 20% chance of winning, he was willing to take the gamble. If he had faced Qiongqi before defeating Gu Shi, he would have only had a 30% chance of winning.
But now, with a 40% chance, that's enough to defeat a first-level Grand Luo Golden Immortal. This would greatly benefit my combat experience. If any of the ruthless sect's laborers could help me break through my cultivation level, the chances of victory would be even higher.
With the help of Liu Rushi and Chu Feng, the potential would be even greater.
Unfortunately, such a coincidence is unlikely.
Even at the Golden Immortal realm, it's not so easy to break through to the next level.
The demonic beast Qiongqi's eyes were filled with ferocity after being punched by Ye Tian. It appeared increasingly fierce and agitated, roaring incessantly.
The surrounding trees trembled and swayed, rustling and rattling wildly. It seemed that even heaven and earth feared this monstrous beast, Qiongqi. This was enough to demonstrate just how ferocious Qiongqi was.
