Bang!
Xuan Qingye was slammed to the ground by a claw from the Nine Nether White Tiger.
At this moment, the cracks in his Xuanbing Armor began to widen, and eventually a portion of it began to shatter.
Xuan Qingye struggled to get up, and just then, a hand reached out.
Xuan Qingye forced herself to peek through the cracks in the armor at Su Qing's delicate face. Su Qing smiled and said, "Next, that Nine Nether White Tiger is doomed!"
Xuan Qingye pulled Su Qing's hand and stood up. At this moment, Xuan Qingye's Xuanbing Armor was completely shattered, and Xuan Qingye's face was pale and her body was weak.
Su Qing hurriedly stuffed a handful of Guiling Pills into Xuan Qingye's mouth, and Xuan Qingye's complexion improved slightly.
The Nine Nether White Tiger wasn't in much better shape either. Its body was covered in wounds from Xuan Qingye's ice spikes, and black blood clung to its fur, turning its pure white fur into black and white spots.
This is hardly the Nine Nether White Tiger anymore; it's more like the Nine Nether Spotted Tiger.
"That's... the Sky-Devouring Crocodile?" Xuan Qingye looked at the Horned Wood Dragon summoned from the six-pointed star, her expression solemn.
"That's right, that's my summoned beast, the eighth-tier demonic beast Devouring Crocodile!" Su Qing said casually.
The Devouring Crocodile moved. Its body was clumsy yet slender, and its four legs moved quickly, reaching the Nine Nether White Tiger in no time.
The Nine Nether White Tiger took two steps back in fear, becoming somewhat agitated.
Both possess the bloodline of the Four Sacred Beasts, but this Devouring Crocodile is already an eighth-tier demon beast, equivalent to the cultivation level of a Core Formation stage cultivator, while the Nine Nether White Tiger is only a sixth-tier demon beast. The pressure from the powerful creature made the Nine Nether White Tiger fearful, and it had long harbored the thought of escaping.
How could the Devouring Crocodile give it a chance to escape?
Having finally been summoned and able to see the light of day again, it considered the Nine Nether White Tiger before it to be the best nourishment.
"Aww!"
The Sky-Swallowing Crocodile opened its blood-red maw, tilting its head back at a full 120 degrees, capable of swallowing even the largest prey whole.
The Nine Nether White Tiger could no longer hold on and turned to run away.
But it was too late!
The Devouring Crocodile darted out in a flash, and in the blink of an eye, it had already bitten the hind leg of the Nine Nether White Tiger.
The Nine Nether White Tiger let out a miserable cry. It could no longer maintain its berserk state. Its body shrank rapidly back to its original size, and the red in its eyes gradually faded, turning from madness into fear.
Black blood gushed from its hind legs, further stimulating the Sky-Devouring Crocodile's appetite.
"Wait!"
Just as the Devouring Crocodile was about to swallow the Nine Nether White Tiger whole, Su Qing suddenly shouted.
The giant crocodile stopped moving and turned to look at Su Qing.
"Keep the demon crystal, the rest is yours!" Su Qing said to the Devouring Crocodile.
The eyes of the Sky-Devouring Crocodile were immediately filled with joy.
It's been so long since I've tasted this delicious food. Even without the demon crystal, I'm satisfied.
Su Qing stepped forward, her Jade Lotus Sword piercing the forehead of the Nine Nether White Tiger, and a white demon crystal was pried out.
The white demon crystal shimmered, and inside was a tiny, lifelike white tiger from the Nine Netherworlds.
The Nine Nether White Tiger could not survive after Su Qing took its demon crystal, and was dragged into the six-pointed star by the Devouring Crocodile.
The six-pointed star shone brightly, and the Devouring Crocodile and the Nine Nether White Tiger, which was being carried and was barely clinging to life, had vanished.
"The demon crystal of this fifth-tier demon beast is quite beautiful." Su Qing walked up to Xuan Qingye and showed it to him like a treasure.
After looking at it, Xuan Qingye nodded slightly and said, "This Nine Nether White Tiger is already a top-grade sixth-rank beast. Given time, it will probably break through to become a seventh-rank demon beast."
Xuan Qingye, who had been standing ramrod straight, suddenly stumbled. Luckily, Su Qing caught her, and she almost fell to the ground.
Xuan Qingye was already exhausted due to the leakage of spiritual energy, and was just barely holding on.
Su Qing sighed softly and said, "I didn't bring any of my pills with me when I entered the Myriad Miles of Rivers and Mountains Map, so you'll have to wait a little while."
As Su Qing spoke, she took out a pill-refining furnace from her storage space.
Xuan Qingye leaned against the tree and saw Su Qing take out a large pile of materials from her storage space and start refining pills.
Soon, the aroma of the elixir filled the air.
Xuan Qingye watched as Su Qing refined a huge pill. After the spiritual energy threads cut it, the pill rolled and turned into round pills.
"A fourth-grade pill?" Xuan Qingye looked at Su Qing in surprise.
How can someone who has just reached the Foundation Establishment stage be able to refine a Grade 4 pill?
Is this really an outer disciple?
Xuan Qingye felt very inferior at this moment. Since childhood, he had been regarded as a genius because of his ice-attribute spiritual root. Later, he joined the Xuanling Sect and was favored by the sect leader to become a personal disciple. He cultivated very quickly and believed that his combat strength was not weak either.
However, upon meeting Su Qing, I realized what a true genius is like.
Su Qing was merely an outer disciple of the Xuanling Sect. She successfully established her foundation in just a few months. Not only could she draw talismans, but she could also set up formations and refine pills. Her combat power was no weaker than his own, no, it seemed even stronger. He was exhausted and about to collapse when Su Qing directly summoned a Devouring Crocodile, which swallowed the Nine Nether White Tiger whole.
Isn't this the real genius?
"Here's a small jar of Purple Spirit Pills. Take it with you," Su Qing said, tossing a small jar to Xuan Qingye.
Xuan Qingye took it and poured out one. She saw a round, purple pill that emitted a rich fragrance. This Purple Spirit Pill not only replenished spiritual energy but also had excellent healing effects. It was a fourth-grade pill.
Xuan Qingye put the pill in her mouth and even tasted a faint fruity flavor on her tongue.
"How does it taste? I think the century-old purple raspberry flavor is pretty good, so this jar is made with purple raspberry flavor," Su Qing explained.
"It has a slightly sweet and sour taste, it's quite delicious," Xuan Qingye said.
Over here, the Xuanling Sect leader had a tense expression and no longer wanted to speak.
He knew that Xuan Qingye was usually picky about food.
Before, he would make a huge fuss about taking a single pill, complaining that it was too bitter. But he ate the pills Su Qing gave him with gusto, and had already eaten three in a short while. If Su Qing hadn't stopped him from putting the fourth pill in his mouth, he probably would have eaten the whole jar like snacks.
After resting for a while, the two continued walking forward.
At this moment, the entire landscape painting was in complete chaos due to the sudden attack by the fifth-tier demonic beast.
Qiu Zigen's face was gloomy and ugly. The weak team he had painstakingly assembled had now been mostly eliminated, leaving only seven or eight cultivators around him.
At this moment, in front of them, a mighty giant bear lay on the ground, its body covered in countless wounds, but the fatal wound was still in its chest.
An arrow pierced its heart in its chest!
"Are you all alright?" Mu Zihan and Ling Shuang walked towards them with five or six cultivators.
Qiu Zigen's face was pale and ugly, but he still forced a smile and said, "Thank you for your help, fellow Daoist."
Mu Zihan raised an eyebrow and said, "So you are a fellow Daoist from the Wuji Sect. My apologies for my rudeness."
