Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled-Chapter 394 - 390: Tier One — Slaying Blood Beasts

Chapter 394: Chapter 390: Tier One — Slaying Blood Beasts

Tang Yunqi clicked his tongue, seemingly surprised to have been exposed like this.

He ruffled his hair, unsure of what excuse would suffice.

After a long while, he murmured, "Can’t you all just pretend nothing happened?"

"Look, I’m strong and capable, and I know a lot of secrets. I can be your little secret manual."

"Plus, I don’t have a brand, won’t kill you for points, or steal your final inheritance."

"See? I’m such a great teammate candidate. If I met someone like me, I’d snatch them up right away."

He cleared his throat and whispered to Xia Feng with a hint of weakness, "So, turn a blind eye?" 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

Xia Feng’s brows furrowed tight enough to kill a fly.

Though he didn’t consider himself overly curious, it was hard to ignore the mystery bouncing before him.

He couldn’t deny Tang Yunqi had a point.

Having such a worry-free teammate was indeed good, though knowing too little meant a lack of trust and security.

After a long pause, Xia Feng grudgingly summoned the Spirit Light Flying Boat, pretending not to notice Tang Yunqi’s relieved gesture.

"Get on. Let’s try to kill more Blood Beasts."

Tang Yunqi grinned a bit happily and eagerly hopped onto the Spirit Light Flying Boat.

Meanwhile, Xia Tianming watched him warily for a moment before following in.

"Didn’t you say we can’t use the Great Dao of Space?"

"Now that he’s using the Spirit Light Flying Boat, it won’t be a problem, right?"

Xia Tianming almost blurted out "Xiao Feng," but recalling Tang Yunqi’s oddness, he changed his wording last minute.

Tang Yunqi pretended not to notice, answering earnestly, "It’s only affected during spatial resets; otherwise, it’s fine."

"At most, using the Great Dao of Space here is a bit more strenuous."

His gaze turned to Xia Tianming, "With your grasp of the Great Dao of Space, it shouldn’t affect you much."

Xia Tianming opened his mouth but found nothing to refute.

Meanwhile, Xia Feng piloted the Spirit Light Flying Boat to the first Blood Beast.

Not sure how the Wuji Divine Monarch arranged it, they were heading from the edge to the center.

The first Blood Beast wasn’t very strong, about the cultivation of an Earth Tier Fifth Layer Martial God.

It looked somewhat terrifying, its body pitch black, with blood seeping from unknown places, creating a stench of blood.

Xia Tianming stepped forward with concern, "Though it doesn’t look strong, let me attack first to test the waters."

"If I can’t hold on, you back me up from behind."

"If it’s not particularly strong, you can take the next one."

"Make sure your points remain in the top ranks."

Xia Feng seemed indifferent, "Grandfather, you’re making a fuss over nothing. If points fall short, there are so many Four Clans Disciples."

Xia Tianming’s brow didn’t relax, merely gesturing for Xia Feng to open the Flying Boat’s door, and dashing out to clash with the Blood Beast.

The Blood Beast splattered blood-red liquid, corroding the ground.

Luckily, Xia Tianming noticed something amiss and quickly set the Void Cauldron in front of him, blocking the eerie red liquid.

Xia Feng’s expression turned solemn as he began to take the peculiar Blood Beast seriously.

Its attacks seemed to contain pollution, corrosion, and spatial abilities.

It seemed quite troublesome.

Xia Feng emerged from the Spirit Light Flying Boat, drew the Heaven-Burying Sword, ready to assist Xia Tianming, but Xia Tianming shook his head.

"No need, let me see if I’ve improved during this time."

As he spoke, the Blood Beast launched another wave of attacks, Xia Tianming immediately set up the Void Cauldron before him, adeptly balancing offense and defense.

Xia Feng’s eyes narrowed slightly, unable to suppress a feeling of admiration.

His grandfather’s talent in the Great Dao of Space was indeed formidable.

Previously, due to weak control over the Great Dao of Space, Xia Feng had been force-fed a Great Dao Divine Technique by the Spirit Light Flying Boat.

He and Xia Tianming had used this Divine Technique to attack the Four Clans Disciples once, and he vaguely saw traces of it in Xia Tianming’s attacks on the Blood Beast.

Having contacted it once, he could integrate this Divine Technique into his attacks. Xia Feng truly admired his grandfather’s talent in the Great Dao of Space.

In the time Xia Feng got lost in thought, Xia Tianming had already crushed the Blood Beast with the Void Cauldron.

From the Blood Beast shot a crimson light tinged with blackness, embedding into the Plum Blossom Brand on Xia Tianming’s hand.

Xia Feng curiously glanced at his own Plum Blossom Brand, noting that the number following Xia Tianming’s number 18 increased by 5 points.

However, he wasn’t the fastest; others had killed before him and topped the leaderboard. Presently, he ranked 34th with 5 points.

Xia Tianming also looked at the point chart on his hand, pondering, "Points are certainly useful; according to the Wuji Divine Monarch’s Illusion, the higher the points upon reaching the Divine Hall of Inheritance, the better the rewards."

"However, in a team, we can’t share points."

"This way, many might opt for separate actions."

"We might catch some solo adventurers..."

Xia Feng slightly shook his head, "The first stage probably doesn’t encourage mutual killing, but focuses on Blood Beasts."

"Did you notice, Grandpa, that after killing the Blood Beast, most energy sinks underground, only a small part enters the Plum Blossom Brand as points?"

"So I suspect these Blood Beasts are recycled."

"Killing Blood Beasts alone should suffice for us to earn points."

"As for Loose Cultivators and Four Great Clans cultivators, near the central Divine Hall of Inheritance, we’ll have chances to handle them."

Beside them, Tang Yunqi listened quietly as the grandfather-grandson duo planned the coming steps, closing his mouth without adding anything.

After all, he had no brand, wouldn’t accumulate points, nor needed to kill Blood Beasts. Just being part of their team for the fun was enough.
