Chapter 87

The Hidden Dragon Continent was vast and abundant with resources . There were many lofty mountains, unending mountain rivers, boundless seas, and even lakes shrouded in miasma .

The Wildlands was a vast plain that was situated outside of the Light Wind Empire's border . There was a large forest as well as a large lake within the plain . However, these were not the main point . The reason for the Wildlands' naming was that innumerous spirit beasts were living within the boundless plain . These spirit beasts were unevenly matched with variation in their strength .

Like a nested circle, the Wildlands was divided into three layers: outskirts, inner, and center . The strength of the spirit beasts scattered within each layer was different . The closer toward the center, the stronger the spirit beasts were… There were even rumors that ninth grade spirit beasts dwell in the center of the Wildlands .

Therefore, the center area of the Wildlands was also known as the forbidden region for humans . Even a seventh grade Battle-Saint would not dare to step into the area . In front of a ninth grade supreme beast, a human Battle-Saint was not any different from an ant .

The outskirts of the Wildlands .

With a series of explosions, hurricanes suddenly emerged and demolished the trees in the surrounding area . Three figures were rapidly moving between the trees while constantly releasing violent energies .

Amidst the hurricanes, two figures charged toward the spirit beast in front of them in an attempt to surround it . Their target was the spirit beast that was trying to escape .

The spirit beast's running speed was extremely fast and the aura exuding from it was very powerful as well . It was actually a sixth grade spirit beast . Electricity was constantly flickering over its body while producing hissing sounds . As it dashed through the area, a burning smell lingered in the air .

"Second brother! The Thunderfire Spirit Pig has slowed down! We must not let it escape!" A clear, tender voice rang out as a stream of true energy burst forth and struck the Thunderfire Spirit Pig running ahead of them .

With a roar, the Thunderfire Spirit Pig became even faster and directly knocked down a large tree . An electric arc jumped from its body and immediately set the broken tree on fire .

A man in green garments with fluttering long hair was chasing after the spirit beast while standing on a flying sword . While faintly smiling, he looked toward the Thunderfire Spirit Pig fleeing in a distance and said, "Junior sister, there's no need to hurry . Even though the Thunderfire Spirit Pig is a sixth grade spirit beast, it only has a strong defense . Its combat ability, speed, and stamina are weak . Soon, it'll obediently stop . "

Next to the handsome man, an adorable young girl with large eyes was excitedly staring at the Thunderfire Spirit Pig . She had a smile on her face with two lovely dimples in her cheeks .

Suddenly, the man was slightly surprised for a moment as he puzzledly looked toward the distance .

The fleeing figure of the Thunderfire Spirit Pig suddenly stopped . In front of the spirit pig, the empty space had suddenly become distorted . Thereafter, a hurricane burst forth from the distortion . Bright specks of light were flashing within the hurricane .

Boom!

With a loud explosion, the hurricane fell apart and a slender figure appeared within the magic array constructed with light .

With an angry roar, the Thunderfire Spirit Pig's speed was not inferior from before as it charged toward the slender figure that suddenly appeared . It was still a sixth grade spirit beast after all . Even if its combat abilities are weak, the impact caused by such a charge would still be devastating .

"Hmm? What the hell is this?" That slender figure seemed to still be in a daze . When he raised his head and noticed a pig fiercely charging toward him, he immediately raised his eyebrows and indifferently spat out the sentence .

"Be careful!" Even though the man in green garments did not understand how the slender young man suddenly appeared, he still threw out a warning out of goodwill .

The young girl with dimples following behind him had also turned pale from fright . She covered her eyes with hands as she did not dare to watch the tragic scene that was about to occur . . .

The man in green garments did not expect someone to suddenly appear in front of the Thunderfire Spirit Pig . Even though the combat power of the spirit beast was not strong, its defensive power was terrifying . With its tough skin and dense muscles, even a sixth grade Battle-Emperor would be seriously injured by its fierce charge . An ordinary person would most likely be immediately squashed into minced meat .

However, the scene that occurred in the next moment caused the expression of the man to suddenly freeze and his eyes to be filled with incredulity .

Despite facing the charge of the Thunderfire Spirit Pig, that young man seemed to be completely unfazed . There was no change in his expression and his eyes were as calm as water . He only saw an unassuming kitchen knife appear within the young man's hand .

"Are you serious… What's the point of taking out a kitchen knife when you're facing the charge of a Thunderfire Spirit Pig?" This was the first thought that the man in green garments had when he saw the kitchen knife .

However, the result was completely outside of his expectations . The speed of the Thunderfire Spirit Pig did not decrease at all, while the unassuming kitchen knife held by the young man actually started radiating a brilliant golden light . The man in green garments was unable to open his eyes due to the dazzling golden light .

After the light subsided, everything became quiet once more .

When the man in green garments saw the scene before him, his mouth slightly opened and his face was filled with horror and solemnity . The young girl next to him exclaimed in surprise as well and her large eyes opened even wider .

The Thunderfire Spirit Pig was actually split into two halves while it was still alive . Its gigantic body had fallen to the ground and blood was spilled everywhere . There was still some electricity jumping about within the pool of blood .

That young man put away his unassuming kitchen knife and walked toward the Thunderfire Spirit Pig while carrying a bundle . He squatted down next to the Thunderfire Spirit Pig and seemed to be observing its corpse .

The man in green garments and the young girl hurriedly descended and did not dare to make the slightest noise . By the fact that the person in front of them could kill the Thunderfire Spirit Pig which was known for its defensive power with a single blow, there was no doubt that he was definitely a powerful expert .

He might even be a seventh grade Battle-Saint!

"Your exce . . . Senior, what an amazing move! Killing the Thunderfire Spirit Pig with a single blow, you were truly awe-inspiring . " The man in green garments had a smile on his face as he spoke to the young man who was observing the corpse of the Thunderfire Spirit Pig .

The young man expressionlessly lifted his head and glanced at the man in green garments and the girl with dimples standing behind him . He indifferently nodded and stood up .

"The meat of the Thunderfire Spirit Pig contains thunder and fire elements . It's a pretty good ingredient . Sadly, it's still quite lacking compared to the ingredient that I'm hoping to capture," the young man muttered to himself . However, these words sounded like thunder in the ears of the man in green garments .

"Gosh . . . He's definitely an exponent! Even the sixth grade Thunderfire Spirit Pig is not good enough for him, is he here to look for a seventh grade spirit beast?" the man in green garments thought .

"Hmm… What are your names? What are you doing here?" The young man asked the man in green garments while having an unchanging expression .

"Senior, I am Tang Yin, a disciple of the Celestial Arcanum Sect . This is my junior sister, Lu Xiaoxiao . Dare I ask your distinguished name?" Tang Yin respectfully said . After a closer observation, he realized the true energy fluctuation coming from the young man's body was actually not that strong . It was approximately around the level of a fourth grade Battle-Spirit . Even so, he still spoke in a respectful manner .

Fourth grade Battle-Spirit… How could someone with such a cultivation level dare to enter the Wildlands? Obviously… There was no way a person who could kill a sixth grade spirit beast with a single blow with a kitchen knife could be a fourth grade Battle-Spirit!

"Oh, my name is Bu Fang . I am a chef . I am from… err, the Light Wind Empire . " Bu Fang earnestly introduced himself as well .

"Eh… Ah? A chef? Did you really just introduce yourself as a chef?" Tang Yin thought .

Both Tang Yin and Lu Xiaoxiao had weird expressions on their faces . They had to admit that the hobbies of the powerful were indeed difficult to fathom . Their own master, the third elder of the Celestial Arcanum Sect, spent a lot of time researching culinary in the kitchen as well .

"Senior, could you sell this Thunderfire Spirit Pig to us? My junior sister and I came all the way to the Wildlands for the sake of this Thunderfire Spirit Pig . . . " Tang Yin said while performing a fist and palm salute .

Bu Fang thought for a moment as he glanced at the corpse of the Thunderfire Spirit Pig . The corners of his mouth widened into a smile as he said, "You can have it, since I don't need this ingredient anyway . Other than cooking, there should be no other uses for the meat of the Thunderfire Spirit Pig . Are the two of you chefs as well?"

Tang Yin's pupils slightly constricted as the admiration in his heart toward Bu Fang suddenly blossomed . As expected of a senior! He actually figured out their intentions for collecting the Thunderfire Spirit Pig with a single glance! He was right! They were there in order to collect ingredients for their master!

"It doesn't matter whether you're a chef or not . I have a question to ask the two of you . " Bu Fang interrupted Tang Yin who was about to reply and said, "Do you know whether there's an ingredient far superior than this Thunderfire Spirit Pig in the surrounding area?"
