“Hu…”

Standing in front of the level two Thunder Patterned Leopard, Wu Qingce closed his eyes and took a deep breath. When he opened his eyes again, his pair of black eyes had already fixed on his “prey”.

Facing Wu Qingce’s eyes that were filled with fighting spirit, the Thunder Patterned Leopard did not show the slightest fear. It waved its four tails and emitted a wild aura that was unique to mystic beasts. Its pair of eyes gradually turned from black to red.

Seeing that the tension between the man and the beast was about to explode, Jiang Beiran acted as the judge, and shouted, “Let’s begin.”

“Roar!!!”

Facing this battle that might cost its life, Thunder Patterned Leopard directly pounced towards Wu Qingce with all its strength. At the same time, its pair of front claws lit up with a blood red light.

A level 2 mystic beast was equivalent to a great mystic practitioner. However, Thunder Patterned Leopard wasn’t in the least bit afraid of challenging Wu Qingce who was above its level.

After activating the Rhymed Formula of Returning Hearts to disperse the wild aura that was trying to make him lose his cool, Wu Qingce used all his strength to activate the Rolling Cloud Technique and jumped back into the air.

“Boom!”

The Thunder Patterned Leopard missed, but its movements didn’t stop at all. After locking onto Wu Qingce’s retreating direction, its hind legs immediately exerted force and chased after him in the air.

“Here it goes.”

When Thunder Patterned Leopard jump into the air, six Crescent Flying Knives suddenly appeared between Wu Qingce’s fingers and were thrown at Thunder Patterned Leopard at the same time.

Seeing the small six Crescent Flying Knives flying towards it, Thunder Patterned Leopard did not care at all. It swung its tail and swept it over.

“Ao!!!”

However, in the next second, Thunder Patterned Leopard let out a miserable howl. The seemingly ordinary Crescent Flying Knifes directly pierced through his tail and pierced into his body.

“‘The Aura Concealment Technique taught by Brother Jiang is always so useful.’

When cultivators fought, each move would emit a corresponding amount of mystic energy. The opponent would also judge the power of this move based on the amount of mystic energy released by this move.

However, after learning the Aura Concealment technique taught by Jiang Beiran, Wu Qingce’s every move looked like a ‘normal attack’, which made the opponent lower its alert. Hearing Thunder Patterned Leopard’s miserable cry, Wu Qingce immediately pulled out his Green Edge Sword and attacked the Thunder Patterned Leopard. Then, he used Sishui Sword Technique and descended from the sky!

As the Thunder Patterned Leopard was in midair, it couldn’t adjust its posture. Therefore, even though it saw Wu Qingce charging at it with the momentum of a torrent, it could only barely raise it claws to receive Wu Qingce’s attack.

“Clang!”

When the Green Edge Sword collided with Thunder Patterned Leopard’s front claws, it made a metallic sound. However, even though Thunder Patterned Leopard’s claws were as hard as iron, they were still cut in half in an instant.

“Ao!!!”

Wu Qingce’s face flashed with joy when he heard Thunder Patterned Leopard’s miserable cry.

“As expected of Brother Jiang’s sword. Even the transformed body of a level two mystic beast is unable to block it.’

However, just as he was feeling pleased with himself, two thick and long tails suddenly lashed out at him.

“Sh*t!”

Wu Qingce didn’t expect Thunder Patterned Leopard to actually counterattack despite it was injured. He could only block with his Green Edge Sword since he didn’t have the time to dodge.

However, how could a strike from a level two mystic beast be so easy to block? Wu Qingce felt a huge force coming at him when he blocked Thunder Patterned Sword. He then spat out a mouthful of blood. He also smashed down onto the ground like a kite with its string cut.

Bang!

Seeing Wu Qingce crash into a giant spruce tree and broke its tree trunk, Jiang Beiran slapped his forehead.

“Is this the number one disciple of the Rivernorth District, really?’

On the other side, Thunder Patterned Leopard, who had also crashed heavily onto the ground, quickly turned over and stood up. At the same time, it activated the mystic energy in his body and began to recover its front claws at a fast speed.

“Cough… cough…”

While Thunder Patterned Leopard was recovering from his injuries, Wu Qingce also pushed away the spruce tree that was pressing down on his body and stood up.

“It’s over… Brother Jiang will definitely criticize me later.” Wu Qingce thought as he took out a bottle made of blue rocks from his storage ring. He poured a pill into his hand and swallowed it.

“Cough!” Wu Qingce coughed again and wiped the blood from his mouth. He walked to the side and was about to pick up the Green Edge Sword that had fallen to the ground. However, just as he was about to bend down, a sharp killing intent suddenly approached him.

Turning his head, Wu Qingce discovered a fiery red figure had already arrived in front of him. It opened its bloody mouth and bit at him.

At this moment, Wu Qingce felt the shadow of death looming over his head. The mystic beast that was attacking him was very strong. Even if he were to face it head-on, there was a high chance that he wouldn’t be able to win. Let alone launched a sneak attack on it, he couldn’t put up any defense against it at all.

However, just as Wu Qingce’s pupils contracted due to fear, a figure blocked in front of him.

“Hey, at least react a little. Did you freeze?” Jiang Beiran turned his head to look at Wu Qingce and asked.

Wu Qingce, who had almost recovered from his shock, sat down on the ground and panted heavily before saying, “Than… Thank you Brother Jiang.”

“You still need to gain more experience.”

Shaking his head, Jiang Beiran turned around and looked at the Blood Shadow Beast whose chin was pinched by him. He said, “You are quite brave. I thought you were going to hide behind that rock.”

“Roar!”

The Blood Shadow Beast whose chin was pinched seemed to be very unconvinced. It tried to pry Jiang Beiran’s right arm away with its front claws, but found that no matter how hard it tried, Jiang Beiran did not move at all.

“Don’t pull, don’t pull. You ruined my cloth.”

However, the Blood Shadow Beast did not have any intention of paying attention to Jiang Beiran. Its pair of claws were still desperately pulling at Jiang Beiran’s arm.

“I told you to behave yourself!” Jiang Beiran glared at the Blood Shadow Beast, and his mind power surged towards the Blood Shadow Beast like a raging wave. The Blood Shadow Beast was stunned at first, but then it seemed to have been stimulated and struggled even harder. “Oh, what a tough guy. Interesting.”

Jiang Beiran loosened his grip on the Blood Shadow Beast as he spoke, and said to it, “Come on, I’ll give you a chance to attack me with all your strength.”

The Blood Shadow Beast, who had finally regained its freedom, took a few steps back, and the red fur all over its body stood up.

“Roar!”

With a furious roar, a red wild aura burst out from his body.

“Red wild aura? It’s quite rare.” After saying that, Jiang Beiran turned to look at Wu Qingce. “Didn’t you say you wanted a mystic beast as a mount last time? What do you think of it?”

“I want to… but I can’t control it.”

“Take it slow. Just train it for a while more.”

Seeing Jiang Beiran completely ignoring him, the Blood Shadow Beast’s anger reached its peak. Red veins bulged on its originally black skin, the red wild aura that burst out had already spread to Jiang Beiran’s side.

“Roar!”

With an angry roar, the Blood Shadow Beast pounced at Jiang Beiran with all its strength like a red lightning bolt. It opened its bloody mouth and prepared to bite Jiang Beiran into two pieces.

“Pa!”

Just as the Blood Shadow Beast’s two fangs were about to bite Jiang Beiran, a lightning-fast slap landed on its face.

The Blood Shadow Beast was a little stunned when it was slapped. It suddenly didn’t know what to do next.

At this time, Jiang Beiran slapped it again.

It was also unable to defend in time, so the Blood Shadow Beast’s left face was hit again.

“Wu!”

The Blood Shadow Beast was anxious as its teeth were broken from the slap. It took two steps back and shook its head, letting out a very wronged “whimper” sound.
