Today, Lu Tianjiao's body is covered with scars, his realm has fallen back to the body refining stage, and there is very little spiritual power left in his Yuan Hai.

"Forget it. It's so hard to find a compatible pulse spirit. It won't help even if I give you another month."

Xiao Ling could not hide the pain in her eyes. If she was not afraid that Lu Tianjiao would continue to fight monsters after his injury healed, she would have definitely healed Lu Tianjiao's injury.

"It's not time to give up yet."

Lu Tianjiao wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and decided to go to the center of Guanling Mountains to give it a try.

"What do you mean by uncertain? Is it so difficult to promise me?"

Xiao Ling was so angry that she almost cried. Going back to the sect with her didn't mean Lu Tianjiao's death. Did Lu Tianjiao really hate her so much? It would be fine if Xiao Ling had done something to offend Lu Tianjiao in the past, but she hadn't. Moreover, Lu Tianjiao had said in person that Xiao Ling was his true love.

"Miss Xiao, I..."

Lu Tianjiao also had mixed feelings and was hesitant to speak.

To be honest, a thousand years have passed, and he just didn't know how to face Xiao Ling's affection for a while.

After the two of them remained in a stalemate for a long time, Lu Tianjiao was the first to break the silence with a sigh.

"In any case, a month hasn't passed yet, Miss Xiao, please allow me to try again."

"What the hell! The central area of ​​Guanling Mountains is the habitat of the Five-clawed Golden Roc. The young ones all have the strength of Yuanhai Realm, and the leader is at least in the Transcendent Realm. I can't guarantee your life!"

Xiao Ling tried to dissuade Lu Tianjiao, but Lu Tianjiao just looked at her sincerely.

Xiao Ling's heart trembled slightly, not knowing what to say.

Lu Tianjiao didn't say anything else and turned to walk towards the center of Guanling Mountains.

"What a fool! Is face so important?"

Xiao Ling gritted his teeth and could only quickly chase after him.

The five-clawed golden roc is a monster that has been famous in Shangquanzhou for a long time. In adulthood, it has the power of at least the Soul-Breaking Realm, and there are also terrifying existences in the Transcendental Realm and the All-Purpose Realm. It has been the overlord of Shangquanzhou for hundreds of years.

If there were not so many cultivators in Shangquan Province, the entire province would probably have become the territory of the Five-clawed Golden Roc.

The five-clawed golden roc is also a very famous golden-sharp monster. If one can successfully kill one, even if it is just a cub, perhaps it will be possible to become compatible with Lu Tianjiao.

Not long after, Lu Tianjiao and Xiao Ling appeared in the center of Guanling Mountains and were soon shocked by the scene before them.

There are many five-clawed golden rocs hovering in the sky, and each of them has at least the strength of the early Soul-Breaking Realm.

In the very center, there is a towering ancient tree that reaches into the sky, inside of which lies a giant golden roc that is as big as a mountain.

The golden roc had its eyes tightly closed, and its aura was as vast as a thundercloud, with faint signs of breaking through the realm of all things.

Xiao Ling was shocked. She still underestimated the power of the monsters in Shangquanzhou. If she really angered such a large tribe, she might not be able to leave alive, let alone guarantee Lu Tianjiao's life.

"Lü Tianjiao, let's go. I majored in auxiliary formations and am not good at fighting. If we are discovered by that five-clawed golden roc at the peak of the Transcendent Realm, we will all be doomed."

Xiao Ling was extremely anxious and grabbed Lu Tianjiao's hand and was about to leave.

Lu Tianjiao, however, was a little calmer. He stood still and said, "Don't panic, Miss Xiao. We didn't attract any siege when we set foot here, which proves that these five-clawed golden rocs are in an extremely relaxed state. If we seize the opportunity, it is not impossible to quietly kill a five-clawed golden roc and then leave."

"How is that possible? Are you dreaming?"

Xiao Ling wished he could knock Lu Tianjiao unconscious and drag him out of Guanling Mountains by force.

After arguing for a few sentences, Lu Tianjiao sighed and said, "Miss Xiao, if that's the case, then please go back. If you can kill a five-clawed golden roc, I will bring my pulse spirit to see you. If not, Lu Tianjiao will die without regrets."

Hearing his words, Xiao Ling's eyes suddenly turned red and she felt a sudden pain in her heart.

Lu Tianjiao also realized that he had said the wrong thing. When he was about to explain, he heard Xiao Ling crying, "Asshole! In your heart, am I, Xiao Ling, this kind of woman?"

Filled with grief and anger, she didn't want to face Lu Tianjiao again, so she turned around and walked away.

Lu Tianjiao looked remorseful. He was so focused on hunting the five-clawed golden roc that he completely ignored what Xiao Ling would think of this sentence.

Xiao Ling came here specially with the secret method of reshaping her spiritual roots, naturally intending to be in a good relationship with Lu Tianjiao. However, in Lu Tianjiao's words, Xiao Ling became a cowardly and selfish woman who was unwilling to advance or retreat with him.

However, Xiao Ling has reached the peak of the Transcendent Realm and has mastered many traps, so it is not very difficult for him to leave alone. The main reason for dissuading him is that he is afraid that Lu Tianjiao will die.

Lu Tianjiao was very clear about this, but he said these words only because he was determined to hunt down the five-clawed golden roc and did not want to implicate Xiao Ling.

Lu Tianjiao shook his head and did not say anything to explain or to persuade him to stay.

As the saying goes, spilled water cannot be collected. Once words are spoken, they are like water poured out, which cannot be taken back.

Now that things have come to this, it is a good thing that Xiao Ling leaves. At least it allows him to free up his hands and feet to hunt the five-clawed golden roc.

After staying for a long time and confirming that Xiao Ling did not come back, Lu Tianjiao began to look for targets nearby.

With his current spiritual power, if he wants to hunt a five-clawed golden roc in a place like this, his target must be the cub and he needs to attack it by surprise.

Although it was immoral and even a bit despicable, Lu Tianjiao had no choice.

Moreover, if he had mercy on the monsters that had been the mortal enemy of mankind since ancient times, there would be no need for him to embark on the path of cultivation.

After Lu Tianjiao had been sneaking alone in the center of the mountains for several days, he finally encountered a lone and sleeping five-clawed golden roc cub.

Lu Tianjiao hid in the dark, his eyes solemn, thinking about how to kill the enemy with one blow.

Although it is called a cub, it is actually nearly a hundred years old and has strength comparable to that of a human in the middle stage of Yuanhai realm.

If it was a one-on-one fight, Lu Tianjiao was confident that he could win. However, this time he was in the territory of the Five-clawed Golden Roc. If he could not resolve the battle quickly, the noise would inevitably disturb the other adult Five-clawed Golden Rocs. Even if he was given a pair of wings, he would surely die.

After pondering for a long time, Lu Tianjiao seemed to have made a decision, and his eyes showed a determination to live in the face of death.

If it were a normal fight, even if he launched a sneak attack, it would be impossible for him to defeat the Five-clawed Golden Roc in just a few moves.

However, Lu Tianjiao was not without a glimmer of hope. In the thousand years since his cultivation was completely wasted, he had created many sword skills suitable for his special existence. One of them was extremely lethal.

The more a move can push a person past their limits, the more serious the side effects will be.

Although this sword technique is not as good as the one from a thousand years ago and will not directly shatter his Yuan Hai and spiritual roots, it will instantly drain all his spiritual power and put him into a weak state.

Now Lu Tianjiao has no spiritual roots and his spiritual power is completely depleted and cannot be recovered. If he fails to kill the five-clawed golden roc cub in one move, he will die a miserable death.

Lu Tianjiao could only gamble that he could seize that slight chance.

"I originally wanted to use you to save my life, but I didn't expect you to use it to attack and kill monsters."

Lu Tianjiao calmed his breathing and began to accumulate power for the magic sword in his hand.

It would be fine if it worked, but if it didn't, his act of using all his strength to draw the sword would be tantamount to seeking death.

Three breaths later, a mighty sword force suddenly swept up in the surroundings, and the sky and the earth changed color.

The five-clawed golden roc cub opened its eyes immediately from its deep sleep, and looked for the source of the crisis in confusion.

"Death Sword Style - Borrowing from Heaven!"

The next moment, a terrifying sword light slashed towards it.

Dang! The spirit sword chopped on the five-clawed golden roc's forehead, making a very crisp metal collision sound.

The five-clawed golden roc was so terrified that it didn't even have time to react, and tried its best to resist Lu Tianjiao's sword intent.

“Open it for me!!”

Lu Tianjiao clenched his teeth, wishing he could grow his left hand back to the spot so he could join in the effort.

Under his terrifying sword intent, a line of blood gradually appeared on the extremely hard forehead of the Five-clawed Golden Roc, and its life breath was also gradually withering.

The five-clawed golden roc cub let out a sharp wail for help. It knew that if it continued like this, it would definitely be chopped in half.

When he was about to successfully kill the five-clawed golden roc, the magic sword in Lu Tianjiao's hand suddenly broke into two pieces.

Lu Tianjiao's pupils shrank slightly, and before he could move to retreat, the five-clawed golden roc, which had recovered, burst out with a tremendous force.

Lu Tianjiao's body was too weak and he was instantly blown away by the powerful force, with no idea how many bones in his body were broken.

He fell a hundred meters away, coughing up blood, and could not get up no matter how hard he tried.

"Damn human! I didn't kill you, but you dare to kill me?!"

The voice of the five-clawed golden roc cub was a little childish, but it already contained a terrifying murderous intent that penetrated into its bones.

Although the situation was still unclear, it could see that Lu Tianjiao was not much weaker than an ordinary person at this moment.

"Just a little bit, what a pity"

Lu Tianjiao smiled bitterly. He was not afraid of death, but just felt a little regretful.

His remaining skills only allowed him to wield a low-level spirit sword. If he suddenly concentrated his spiritual power to launch an attack that was comparable to that of a peak Yuanhai Realm warrior, the low-level spirit sword would naturally be unable to withstand it.

If a better sword could be used, the outcome would be uncertain.

The five-clawed golden roc was full of murderous intent, but he didn't care about Lu Tianjiao's purpose of attacking him. He opened his mouth and spit out a golden light full of destructive aura.

Seeing the terrifying golden light expanding in his pupils, Lu Tianjiao's expression returned to calm. He simply stopped struggling and closed his eyes to welcome death.

It seems that a thousand years later, he still cannot live up to Xiao Ling's affection.

If there is any regret, there is nothing to regret, at least he has tried.

Just when Lu Tianjiao lost consciousness, a formation mark appeared without warning under the feet of the five-clawed golden roc cub.

The next moment, the five-clawed golden roc king perched in the center suddenly opened his eyes and erupted with terrifying power that swept across the entire Guanling Mountains.

The mighty force broke through the formation seal that was about to tear apart the five-clawed golden roc cub, and also caused countless monsters in the Guanling Mountains to fall into panic.

"Human, I have no intention of being your enemy, and I have been tolerant of you three times."

"And you humans claim to be the leaders of all spirits, yet you are so rude and want to kill the younger generation of my clan?"

The five-clawed golden roc king angrily raised his wings, and the wings that were ten thousand feet long instantly covered the sky and the sun, causing darkness to shroud the direction of Lu Tianjiao.

Xiao Ling stood in the air, with seals flowing under his feet, and looked at the Five-clawed Golden Roc King across the air.

"Sir, I have no intention of becoming your enemy."

"But for him, I must obtain the pulse spirit of your clan. This is indeed offensive, but I am willing to exchange it with an equivalent item."

Xiao Ling's face was solemn. Although she also had the cultivation base of the peak Transcendent Realm, she was specialized in auxiliary formations after all. It was easy for her to escape from the powerful Transcendent Realm monsters, but it was almost impossible to kill them.

"Items? You mean items?!"

"Is there anything that can compare to the future of our people?!"

The Five-clawed Golden Roc King was extremely furious when he heard this. He had been tolerant only because he wanted to learn the etiquette of the human race in order to promote the development of civilization of his race. He had never been afraid of Xiao Ling, a powerful person at the peak of the Transcendent Realm.

You must know that taking away the soul of a monster is equivalent to taking away the spiritual roots of the human race, which will end their future.

Xiao Ling's face looked grim. She had not yet revealed the fact that she majored in auxiliary formations. She thought that the Five-clawed Golden Roc King would be a little afraid of him, but she did not expect it to be so tough.

"Sir, we can discuss this further."

"No need to discuss further! Let's fight!"

The Five-clawed Golden Roc King ordered his fellow tribesmen around him to retreat, and flapped his wings to fly into the sky, as if he was going to fight Xiao Ling to the death in a one-on-one battle.

It didn't think too much about it, nor did it consider what kind of items Xiao Ling would give in exchange. It just felt that it was a shame to hand over the soul of the same clan to Xiao Ling.

Xiao Ling's expression was uncertain. She did not rush to take action, but secretly glanced at Lu Tianjiao and the five-clawed golden roc cub below.

"Human, what are you doing!?"

The five-clawed golden roc king was as big as a mountain, but its speed was incredibly fast. It swooped down towards Xiao Ling in the blink of an eye.

"Qingwu hanging dragon formation!"

Xiao Ling had no intention of fighting back. He raised his hand and threw out a branch, then made hand seals at a dazzling speed.

The formation took shape very quickly, and the Five-clawed Golden Roc King and its power were blocked in place. A pair of eyes containing the power of a true dragon seemed to be staring at it through the void.

The Five-clawed Golden Roc King was secretly shocked. The branch that Xiao Ling had just thrown was actually the original spiritual wood of the Divine Phoenix that had entered the holy realm.

With a divine object of this level as the price, if it had lethal power, it would probably be seriously injured if not killed.

After sealing off the Five-clawed Golden Roc Queen, Xiao Ling immediately ran towards the ground, but she did not go to save the unconscious Lu Tianjiao, but rushed straight towards the injured Five-clawed Golden Roc cub.

Phew!

In just a moment, accompanied by the wailing of the five-clawed golden roc cub, Xiao Ling had taken away its pulse soul.

A bloody hole was pierced on the chest, and the five-clawed golden roc cub, which had lost its pulse spirit, did not die on the spot, but its realm quickly dropped to the spiritual martial realm.

“Humans!!!”

Seeing the miserable state of the younger generation in the clan, the Five-clawed Golden Roc King was extremely furious. His pair of claws, which were comparable to giant golden swords, frantically tore at the illusory barrier of the formation.

"Sorry! I will make it up to you later!"

Xiao Ling did not feel too guilty. He picked up Lu Tianjiao and fled out of Guanling Mountains.

The fight between humans and demons is natural. She deliberately spared the life of the five-clawed golden roc cub, which was already a soft-hearted act and she felt a little ashamed.

"The King of Golden Peng is here. All living beings in the Guanling Mountains, please show up immediately!!"

"These two must pay with blood!"

Listening to Xiao Ling's hypocritical words, the Five-clawed Golden Roc King was so angry that he was about to lose his mind. He roared and ordered all the monsters in Guanling Mountains to hunt down Xiao Ling and Lu Tianjiao.

For a moment, the demon's might was overwhelming and its roar shook the sky.

Look at the ground, you can see thousands of animals running, look at the sky, you can see thousands of birds flying.
