The Keddar Duck is a terrifying creature with an adorable appearance and a harmless exterior, but in reality, it possesses an exceptionally powerful spiritual consciousness that far surpasses that of other magical beasts of the same level, and it is adept at bewitching and controlling other magical beasts.
Lin Fan keenly spotted its location and saw it lying motionless in the snow, looking at it from a distance as if it were a fake.
Its feathers are also snow-white, making it extremely effective at concealing its presence and blending perfectly into the snow.
However, it needs to control the magical beast, releasing its divine sense continuously. Lin Fan detected the fluctuations in its divine sense and saw it bury its body in the snow, with only its mouth and eyes showing. Without keen divine sense and eyesight, it would be difficult to detect its existence.
Lin Fan landed directly in front of it, but the Keddar Duck remained motionless, its two dark eyes darting around.
It felt it was well hidden and impossible for humans to find it; its arrival here must have been a coincidence.
Lin Fan lowered his head slightly. This magical beast was really cunning. Even though he was standing in front of it, it was still so calm. It had a strong mental fortitude.
He then acted swiftly, grabbing the Keddar duck by the neck and pulling it out of the snow. He gathered spiritual energy in his palm, which acted like a lock, tightly binding its movements.
The duck kicked and thrashed its legs, unable to escape. Then, with a quack, it released a powerful divine sense, which slashed towards Lin Fan's divine sense like a sharp sword.
Its spiritual power is very strong; if you are not careful, you will be forcibly controlled and turned into its puppet.
Lin Fan released his divine sense to clash with it, and the two invisible forces roared like surging rivers and lakes.
He released his grip, took two steps back, and looked surprised.
No wonder it controls magical beasts with its divine sense; such powerful divine sense is something even a Nascent Soul cultivator might not be able to withstand.
The beast horde, now out of Keddar's control, became even more chaotic, with massive magical beasts rampaging and completely shattering their formation.
The duck landed safely on the ground and swung its legs from side to side as it ran away quickly. It had a strong sense of consciousness, but its fighting ability was very weak.
Lin Fan shifted his form and landed in front of it, unleashing several sword beams from his two fingers as he attacked it.
Snowflakes flew up like a fountain, and the Korda duck leaped into the air, spreading its wings and creating a whirlwind as it soared into the distance.
"It looks good, it must taste delicious!" Lin Fan said with a smile.
I haven't had roast duck in a long time, and I really miss it.
A streak of light shot out from the storage ring; it was a powerful bow. He drew back the bowstring, his divine sense locking onto its aura.
With a whoosh, the arrow pierced the sky, and the Korda Duck frantically flapped its wings, but the arrow seemed to have eyes and kept chasing after it.
Keda Duck desperately channeled its spiritual power to create a sturdy barrier, but it was ineffective. Its combat capabilities were too weak. The barrier shattered, and it was pierced by a sharp arrow, instantly staining the sky with blood.
Whoosh... Bang!
The fourth-tier magical beast crashed into the snow. Lin Fan transformed into a shadow and chased after it, channeling his spiritual power into his palm and slapping its head, shattering its skull. He only stopped when the system indicated that the mission was complete.
The disciples of Qingxiao Sect were thrown into chaos. At this moment, Elder Tianyunzi was besieged by more than a dozen ferocious demonic bulls and silver-blooded badgers. Although he could force the demonic beasts back, he was unable to rescue his disciples.
However, their skin is too thick, and ordinary magical treasures cannot break through their defenses or inflict fatal damage on them.
A ferocious demon bull at the peak of the third tier charged towards Murong Xuanqiu with its bloodshot eyes. Its aura was powerful and fierce, exuding a menacing presence. It raised its hooves and stomped towards her petite body.
Click
The jade hairpin emitted a faint light, releasing a barrier to block its attack, but cracks appeared in the barrier, and the hairpin trembled, almost exceeding its limit.
Chu Yunying rushed over and repelled the ferocious demon bull with a single sword strike. The two were then surrounded by more than ten Golden Core Realm demonic beasts, and their situation was very precarious.
"Junior Sister Chu, I can't hold on much longer. If you have the chance, you can leave first!" Murong Xuanqiu said.
At this moment, some disciples were injured or killed, and her condition was not optimistic either. The flaws of the Illusion Moon Sword Technique were obvious. Facing the rampaging demonic beasts, the sword technique was too weak and could not break through the demonic beasts' defenses.
"Don't worry, we'll be fine!" Chu Yunying looked around but couldn't find Lin Fan, and her beautiful eyes dimmed.
She knew Lin Fan had gone to find the high-level magical beast that controlled the herd, but without his protection, it wouldn't be long before the rioting beasts wiped out the entire team.
Bang bang bang
As sword energy raged, Chu Yunying conjured a massive phoenix phantom, three zhang in size, which forced back several ferocious demon bulls.
Xi Lulu
A demonic horse covered in blood and sweat suddenly appeared behind Chu Yunying, its head raised, and with a flick of its neck, it knocked her away with its head.
Then it quickly raised its front body and stomped down hard on Chu Yunying with its hooves.
Murong Xuanqiu rushed over, gathering all his spiritual power into his sword and unleashing the Illusionary Moon Sword Technique to clash head-on with the demonic horse.
"Is that the Crimson Blood Demon Horse?" Tian Yunzi's eyes twitched slightly as he looked at the demon horse, wanting to come to its rescue, but ten ferocious demon bulls formed a flesh wall, blocking his movement.
The Crimson Blood Demon Horse is known for its swiftness, capable of traveling ten thousand miles a day. Its speed among magical beasts is unparalleled. Legend has it that when it was at the third tier, no magical beast below the fifth tier could threaten its life.
Besides its speed, its power is also terrifying, no less than that of the ferocious bull beast. With a single stomp of its hooves, even fourth-tier magical beasts would have to temporarily give way.
clang
Murong Xuanqiu's sword energy was directly crushed, and along with the explosion of her spiritual treasure, the jade hairpin trembled violently, flashing a faint light, blocking the power of the demonic horse.
But Murong Xuanqiu was shaken so badly by the aftershocks that she coughed up blood, her clothes stained red. She gritted her teeth, her pretty face pale, feeling as if her body was being crushed by a boulder.
Chu Yunying tried to help, but was knocked away by a ferocious bull.
The Crimson Blood Demon Horse stomped three times in succession, and the Jade Hairpin shattered with a bang. Murong Xuanqiu coughed up two mouthfuls of blood, and as she watched the iron hoof fall, she closed her beautiful eyes in despair.
Bang
Upon hearing the sound of the collision, Murong Xuanqiu noticed that the demonic horse's iron hooves had not yet landed. At that moment, a figure in white stood in front of him, holding the injured Chu Yunying in one arm and knocking back the Crimson Blood Demonic Horse with a punch.
Murong Xuanqiu stared blankly at him, her eyes gradually welling up with tears.
Seeing a dozen or so ferocious bulls charging towards him, Lin Fan roughly threw Chu Yunying to the ground, his eyes flashing with two icy glints.
These magical beasts have thick hides and tough flesh; even a Nascent Soul cultivator might not be able to break through their defenses. If a dozen or so ferocious demonic bulls charged over, it would take even himself some time, and ordinary weapons probably wouldn't be able to harm them.
He took out the Immortal Execution Sword, intending to finish the battle quickly. In an instant, the sword released a terrifying and ferocious aura. The bloodthirst that had slain countless demons caused the nearby monsters to stir.
Especially the ferocious bulls that charged at them, suddenly stopped, their bodies trembling uncontrollably, fear emanating from the depths of their souls, which frightened them into turning and running away.
Taking advantage of the Crimson Blood Demon Horse's momentary daze, Lin Fan leaped onto its back, holding the Immortal Execution Sword horizontally against its neck, and coldly said, "Either submit, or die!"
The surrounding monsters fled in panic, and even the fearless Silverblood Badger dared not linger, as if staying any longer would mean certain death.
Watching the beasts retreat, Lin Fan was quite surprised. He hadn't realized that the Immortal Execution Sword was so powerful in deterring a group of leaderless demonic beasts.
The Crimson Blood Demon Horse trembled precariously. The murderous aura emanating from the Immortal Execution Sword was too intense, and its instincts as a magical beast told it that it could not withstand this thing.
The aura and pressure made its soul tremble, and it dared not resist in the slightest. In the end, it lowered its proud head and slowly knelt down on its front legs.
"You're very clever!" Lin Fan jumped down, brandished the Immortal Execution Sword in his hand, and only after seeing the fear in the Crimson Blood Demon Horse did he put the sword away with satisfaction.
After the monsters retreated, Tianyunzi began to lead the wounded to a new location.
Those disciples who perished in battle could only be buried on the spot in a randomly dug pit.
Murong Xuanqiu was seriously injured and unconscious. Lin Fan picked her up, fed her a healing pill, and only breathed a sigh of relief after checking that she was only injured and not in any danger to her life.
"How is she?" Chu Yunying's face was as pale as paper, and her breathing was weak.
"He was injured and unconscious, but he's alright!" Lin Fan said.
They moved quickly away from the area.
Three disciples perished in this battle, while the other disciples sustained injuries of varying degrees. Only Lin Fan and Tian Yunzi remained unharmed.
They all had a sense of relief, and fear still lingered in their eyes.
Battles frequently occur between magical beasts and immortal sects, and losses on both sides are inevitable.
This was their first time leaving the Immortal City to venture into the rear of the Demon Beasts to mine resources. This battle made them truly understand the cruelty of war.
"Senior Brother Lin, may I get on the carriage and rest for a bit?"
An inner disciple, leaning on a cane, limped over, looking at the carriage with envy, wishing she were a woman.
"I'll slap you unconscious before throwing you in!" Lin Fan said coldly.
He subdued the Crimson Blood Demon Horse, and the system rewarded him with carriage equipment. So he tied himself to the demon horse, let Murong Xuanqiu lie down and rest, and Chu Yunying took care of her inside.
I didn't even go in to enjoy myself, so why should this guy go in? Are we that close?
The male disciple shook his head in disappointment and didn't mention the matter again. After all, there were two female disciples in the carriage, and it would be somewhat inappropriate for him to go in.
"Will Long Aotian follow us? Will he sneak up behind us, or will he try to teleport here using a spatial talisman?"
Lin Fan held the reins, acting as their coachman, lost in thought.
His divine sense extended backward, but he couldn't find any trace of anyone following him.
Or perhaps Long Aotian entered before them? Lin Fan glanced at Wu Qiankun, who was limping along, clutching his buttocks, knowing he must have been bitten by the alien demon dog.
As long as we keep a close eye on Wu Qiankun and control his movements, we can definitely lure out Long Aotian. This is the best opportunity to deal with me. If I miss the training in Shanhai City, it will be difficult to find another opportunity in the future.
Given Long Aotian's narrow-mindedness and vindictive nature, he definitely wouldn't wait.
With the help of the blood of the Crimson Blood Demon Horse and the Keddar Duck, they had an easy time on the journey ahead, and very few magical beasts would try to stop them. When they smelled their presence from afar, they would choose to retreat.
Even fourth-tier magical beasts, upon smelling the scent of Keddar's blood and with Lin Fan and Tian Yunzi not deliberately concealing themselves, would weigh their options and not easily provoke them.
They are safe for the time being as there are no fifth-tier magical beasts around.
