Chapter 354

"Sou!"

The flying sword vanished in midair like a wisp of misty rain before appearing right beside the behemoth . Bam! The behemoth's long tail crossed the space like a phantom, managing to perfectly block the flying sword . The tail had boundless strength, sending the flying sword sailing backward .

"Somewhat interesting . I have to avoid that tail as best as I can . " Qin Yun furrowed his brows .

The recoiling flying sword suddenly flashed, tunneling into the void and vanishing . It was already at the behemoth's abdomen when it appeared again! This was a spot that was unwieldy for a tail to block .

Rip!

The flying sword penetrated the behemoth's abdomen as though slicing through empty space, leaving behind a gruesome wound that nearly split the behemoth's body in two . Following that, the flying sword flew out from the behemoth's back, splattering blood across the skies .

"Oww . " The behemoth could not help but cry out in pain . He turned his head to look at Qin Yun as his eyes condensed runic patterns: "Vanquish!"

A dark-red flame converged in midair, raising the temperature to an extreme level .

Flames surged at Qin Yun .

Qin Yun extended his hand as the chain wrapped around his wrist flew out in the form of a flying sword, producing a Cyclic Sword Flash that encased his surroundings . Bam! Bam! Bam! Regardless of the ferocity of the flames, the Cyclic Sword Flash remained unperturbed .

"Qin Yun, don't take your bullying too far . " The behemoth suddenly shrank in size to just tens of feet long . The massive black behemoth was now more of a red beast . His skin and muscles all took on a crystalline, jade-like redness . "This cave abode is the property of my Chu family to begin with . I can ignore you trying to snatch my treasures, but for you to pursue the issue so relentlessly?"

"Snatch your treasures? This is Senior Cloudgrace's cave abode . When did it become yours?" Qin Yun scoffed with a voice transmission .

"They were originally treasures of my race . They eventually landed in your Great Chang world," replied the beast with a voice transmission . "What you have is only equivalent to a single transcendent-grade Dharma treasure . Hand it over to me and I will give you two transcendent-grade Dharma treasures . How about it?"

"It looks like you did come from an Other Realm . Are you here only for the treasures or do you have other goals?" pressed Qin Yun . "What world in your homeworld? Is it related to the Nine Lineage Fiendish Demons?"

"Can't we just do the trade?" pressed the beast .

"Why should we? It's not like you can escape," said Qin Yun calmly .

"Presumptuous!"

The beast tried its best to escape while the brief exchange over voice transmissions happened, but he soon gave up on communicating with Qin Yun .

The flying sword instantly appeared just two feet away from the beast . However, the beast's tail had now split into six tails . The six tails managed to defend him in an unfathomable manner, hindering the Intrinsic Flying Sword's momentum .

"It seems to have weakened after becoming smaller," thought Qin Yun .

The Intrinsic Flying Sword flashed and vanished once again . It was by the beast's neck when it appeared this time . With a whoosh, it stabbed at the beast's body . However, the red flesh and skin were extremely robust . Qin Yun's flying sword was so extremely powerful that it could easily split space itself; yet, it failed to penetrate the beast's flesh .

It barely left a foot-long scuff, and the blood froze after a few drops were splattered . The wound healed rapidly .

"Although his strength has decreased, his body has become a lot more resilient . I can only cause him superficial injuries now . That was my strongest attack . " Qin Yun frowned .

The fourth move, Waning Waxing Moons, was extremely powerful .

The strike from before had heavily injured the behemoth, frightening him into immediately shrinking . And now, all he received were superficial wounds .

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

The flying sword moved at extreme speeds when producing the fourth move . It even created numerous afterimages as though more than ten flying swords were bombarding the beast . The misty rain-like flying sword appeared at different angles around the beast, striking him constantly! The beast could only focus on escaping while flailing his tail wantonly to defend against the attacks . However, he could only block one out of every two or three strikes .

Under the relentless assault, the beast's body was instantly covered in numerous wounds . Blood spewed out constantly but the wounds also rapidly healed .

"Bam!"

The flying sword decisively struck, deliberately hitting the beast on its head .

The beast became a lot weaker and even stumbled, but it managed to regain its stability fast enough to charge to the exit with full strength . However, it received a flogging from the flying sword!

It got flogged, slashed, stabbed, and grazed… All sorts of sword moves were battering it consecutively .

The beast held his anger and stumbled again and again before getting up to charge forward as best as it could .

"Qin Yun, you win this time . I'll leave the treasures with you for the time being . I will take them all back soon, however . " The beast's eyes were filled with rage but he could only endure! Although they were equal in strength, his strength was more balanced with an extremely strong body . Qin Yun might have had a weaker body but his attacks were terrifying! An Intrinsic Flying Sword was indomitable and oppressive! The flying sword moves were even more abstruse .

"He's about to escape . " Qin Yun watched from behind . "His body is too robust . Perhaps even my Grotto-heaven Sword Calabash would not be of any use against him . Whatever . The Grotto-heaven Sword Calabash needs a year to replenish its Sword Qi . I shouldn't waste it . "

Qin Yun had no choice but to use his flying sword to deliver a few attacks while in pursuit . Unfortunately, the beast remained unfazed by the attacks .

"I'm almost out . "

The beast saw the cave abode's entrance and his eyes could not help but reveal a look of anticipation .

Although the entrance was sealed, he struck out suddenly with a claw, forcibly cracking it open .

"Bam!"

The cave abode's entrance exploded .

The beast looked at the splendid world outside, greeted by the Chu Manor that he was extremely familiar with . At the instant he rushed out of the cave abode, he saw a middle-aged man wearing a tall headdress .

"Daoist Divine Firmament?" The beast's eyes widened instantly . His mouth contorted and the excitement of escaping the cave abode instantly transformed into horror and despair!

The battle with Qin Yun could be described as infuriating and humiliating .

But when he saw Divine Firmament Chapter's Ancestral Master Zhang, the beast lost his wits .

"Return! Return!"

The beast's body began phasing away in a bid to escape .

"Are you still hoping to flee in front of me?" Ancestral Master Zhang stood there . Purple lightning manifested as a gigantic palm, grabbing the beast that was beginning to phase away! At the instant he was grabbed, the beast's strength was sealed . He immediately restored to going back to its black form as it was brought before Ancestral Master Zhang . It fell onto the cloud that Ancestral Master Zhang was standing on .

He sprawled on the cloud and felt a boundless pressure bind him . There was no way for him to move .

Ancestral Master Zhang shot him a glance as the beast's heart turned cold .

"I'm doomed . "

…

Qin Yun flew out of the cave abode unhurriedly . When he saw the black beast sprawling obediently on the cloud in front of Ancestral Master Zhang and sensed its lack of bloodlust, Qin Yun secretly marveled . As expected of Ancestral Master Zhang! According to what he knew, the strongest being in the Great Chang world was once the East Sea's Skydragon . But Ancestral Master Zhang's present strength was likely not inferior to the East Sea Skydragon's .

And without a doubt, with the passage of time, Ancestral Master Zhang would surpass the East Sea Skydragon . He might even become a famous figure in the Three Realms .

After all, he had been taken in as a personal disciple of the Dao Ancestor… He was naturally extraordinary .

"Thank you, Senior Zhang, for your help," said Qin Yun immediately . "He is indeed rather strong . He might have escaped if it was only me . "

The cave abode was another Grotto-heaven . He would be unable to continue monitoring Old Master Chu once he entered! Although Immortal Cloudgrace's cave abode was very important, Old Master Chu was equally important . Before Qin Yun entered the cave abode, he had sent Hu Si back to his residence and contacted Divine Firmament Chapter's Ancestral Master Zhang . The Divine Firmament Chapter was in the Po Prefecture and was only a few thousand kilometers away . Ancestral Master Zhang arrived very quickly .

Ancestral Master Zhang had been secretly observing everything .

Qin Yun only felt he could probe the cave abode with ease after Ancestral Master Zhang arrived! So regardless of how the beast acted, the outcome was already fixed .
