Mr. Bodyguard Novel - Chapter 1022
Chapter 1022 Tianfeng Stone Forest
At this moment, Jiang Feng, Zhou Yi, and Ai Ya stood in triangles.
The three of them surrounded the Lightning Eagle Claw Horse, with Jiang Feng as the main attacker, while Zhou Yi and Ai Yahe harassed them.
At the beginning, the Lightning Eagle Claw Colt’s attack was extremely fierce. It felt as if it would never let go until it tore Jiang Feng and the others into pieces and swallowed them in its stomach.
However, after nearly three hours of battling with the Lightning Eagle Claw Colt, the Lightning Eagle Claw Colt finally seemed to be on the verge of death.
This wasn’t to say that the Lightning Eagle Claw Colt was weaker than Jiang Feng and the others, but that Jiang Feng, Zhou Yi, and Ai Ya hadn’t fought it head-on. From the beginning to the end, they had chosen to harass the Lightning Eagle Claw Colt in a manner that consumed it.
Whenever the Lightning Eagle Claw Colt attacked one of the three of them, the other two would charge out from two different directions behind it and inflict injuries of varying severity on it.
In such a battle, the Lightning Eagle Claw Colt could not escape, and could not be defeated. In addition, he was constantly injured, so his strength was finally on the verge of exhaustion.
When Jiang Feng saw this, he directly said to Zhou Yi and Ai Ya, “There’s no need for you to make a move. Right now, I should be able to kill it by myself!”
Zhou Yi and Ai Ya nodded and instructed Jiang Feng, “Then be careful yourself.” And retreat together.
Jiang Feng pointed a precious longsword at the Lightning Eagle Claw Horse. This longsword was obtained by Jiang Feng from the Earth Fiend Sect’s Sect Master, Xia Jingcheng.
The name of the sword was Heavenly Fire Mark, and it belonged to a medium-grade third-grade divine weapon, the Sharp
Jiang Feng was confident that he would be able to kill the Lightning Eagle Claw Stallion in his current state with a single strike from his full strength, coupled with the Heavenly Fire Marks.
Jiang Feng shook his sword and charged towards the Lightning Eagle Claw Stallion.
Along the way, Jiang Feng roared out the external technique he had comprehended when he broke through to the fourth level of the Desolate Heaven Tyrant Physique-Mountain and River Drawing!
At that moment, the “Mountain and River Qi” in Jiang Feng’s body surged out along his sword, just as Jiang Feng was about to strike the Lightning Eagle Claw Horse with his sword.
“Boom!” The Heavenly Flame Mark in Jiang Feng’s hand instantly split into two pieces, and even Jiang Feng rolled to the side twice before removing the force from his body.
Jiang Feng glanced at the broken sword in his hand and then at the half of the sword that had fallen to the ground.
This dignified Third Grade divine weapon was broken just like that?
Moreover, the other party seemed to have only used an ordinary stone to break the Heavenly Fire Mark.
Jiang Feng glanced around in shock. Although he didn’t see anyone other than Zhou Yi and Ai Ya, Jiang Feng still said respectfully, “May I ask which senior is guiding me?”
“Sorry, sorry. We want to capture a qilin bull, so you have to borrow this lightning eagle claw horse as bait.”
Before the person arrived, the voice came first.
Jiang Feng looked in the direction where the voice came from. Soon, two afterimages quickly arrived in front of him from afar.
The person who came was two young men. They looked like they were about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. They looked quite handsome and had a sense of righteousness between their eyebrows.
The two men cupped their fists and bowed to Jiang Feng. Then, they introduced themselves to each other and said, “I am the disciple of the Lower Sword Tomb, Xia Wu.”
“I am the disciple of the Lower Sword Tomb.”
“Not consulted?”
Jiang Feng hurriedly returned the bow, “I am Jiang Tianliu, no one, no sect, no sect.”
“Hello, Brother Jiang. I was the one who interrupted your sword earlier. Don’t worry, I will definitely compensate you with a third-grade high-grade weapon.
In addition, I think you are someone who cultivates external techniques. If you are willing to use this Lightning Eagle Claw Colt as bait for me to lure out the Qilin Barbaric Ox.
“I am willing to hand over the corpse of the Qilin Barbaric Bull to you for disposal. We will only take the beast spirit fire from the Qilin Barbaric Bull’s body.”
Xia Wu said to Jiang Feng.
“The corpse of the Qilin Barbarian Bull?” Jiang Feng thought to himself.
This Qilin Barbarian Bull was a second-grade desolate beast. With just him, Zhou Yi, Ai Ya, and the others, it was unlikely that they would even run away if they encountered it.
Right now, the other party’s offer was not only generous to Jiang Feng, it was also a fatal temptation.
Jiang Feng had never believed that pies would fall from the sky, and those wrapped in sugar would definitely hide bombs.
But this time … Jiang Feng really couldn’t refuse.
Jiang Feng hesitated for about a second or two before nodding, “Alright, then I’ll thank Brother Xia and Brother Ming.”
Xia Wu and Ming Lang smiled and clasped hands at Jiang Feng, “That’s easy to say.”
There was actually another important reason why Jiang Feng agreed so straightforwardly. That was Xia Wu and Ming Lang’s strength was clearly far greater than his. If they really wanted to harm him, there was no need to make such a big circle. If they directly attacked, he would definitely not be able to retaliate at all.
“Then Brother Jiang, please bring your friends with us.”
Xia Wu and Ming Lang leapt up and jumped onto the back of the Lightning Eagle Claw Colt.
The Lightning Eagle Claw Colt originally wanted to struggle, but Xia Wu forcefully clamped his legs on the horse’s abdomen, causing the Lightning Eagle Claw Colt to immediately calm down.
Xia Wu and Ming Lang rode the Lightning Eagle Claw Stallion in the front, while Jiang Feng, Zhou Yi, and Ai Ya rode the Sword-tailed Blood Wolf and Yue Luo Spirit Cat behind them.
In the past month, Jiang Feng had obtained a lot of pet beast jade tokens, but the goal of bringing them along to flaunt the market was too obvious.
Therefore, Jiang Feng allowed the pet beasts to move freely in this forbidden area. In any case, if he needed to summon them through the Beast Pet Jade Token, they would arrive very soon.
Xia Wu and Ming Lang drove the Lightning Eagle Claw Colt to run very fast, while Jiang Feng and the others tried their best to catch up.
The sky gradually darkened, and it was already dusk.
At first, Jiang Feng was still able to tell the direction he was heading, but now, he was already dizzy. Not only did he have no sense of direction, he could not even figure out how far Jiang Feng had run.
Suddenly, Xia Wu and Ming Lang stopped in front of them. As Jiang Feng approached them, he looked around.
It was clear that the surrounding area was a vast desert. Not to mention the Qilin Barbarian Bull, there wasn’t even an extra human figure.
After Jiang Feng and the others arrived, Xia Wu said to Jiang Feng, “Brother Jiang, let your two friends wait here for a while. They are too weak to enter the Heavenly Peak Stone Forest.”
“Heavenly Peak Stone Forest.” Jiang Feng’s pupils narrowed slightly. He looked at Xia Wu in surprise and said, “Brother Xia, are you referring to the Heavenly Peak Stone Forest, the head of the nine mysterious sacred lands in the Heavenly Human Realm?”
Xia Wu smiled and did not answer. At this moment, Minglang had already taken out a bronze mirror from his bosom and threw it on the ground.
The bronze mirror emitted a golden light that shot straight into the clouds like a pillar.
Within the pillar of light, Jiang Feng saw an archway.
There were indeed four big characters written on the arch in the words of the Celestial Realm-Heavenly Peak Stone Forest.
Xia Wu extended his hand to Jiang Feng and gestured, “Brother Jiang, please.”
Jiang Feng suppressed his excitement. He turned to look at Zhou Yi and Ai Ya. Zhou Yi took the initiative to say, “You go. Be careful. We’ll wait for you here.”
“Yes.” Jiang Feng nodded. Originally, he wanted to ride the Sword-tailed Blood Wolf inside, but the Sword-tailed Blood Wolf did not move forward.
Xia Wu smiled and said to Jiang Feng, “Brother Jiang, your pet beast’s strength is too weak, so it’s not suitable to enter.”
Jiang Feng nodded, turned around, and walked in with Xia Wu and Ming Lang.
There were a total of nine mysterious sacred lands in the legends of the Celestial Realm. The reason why they were called sacred lands was because in legends, these nine sacred lands were all created by “sages”.
The realm of the Celestial Realm was divided into ten grades from low to high, and even the Mortal Emperor was only at the first grade.
However, there were still Half-Saint, Sub-Saint, and Saint above the first rank.
However, the Sage was extraordinary and belonged to someone who lived outside the Celestial Realm.
After Jiang Feng, Xia Wu, and Ming Lang entered the Heavenly Peak Stone Forest together, the first thing he saw was the Heavenly Peak that reached into the clouds.
Jiang Feng didn’t know exactly how tall Tian Feng was. He just felt that he was under a lot of pressure when he looked at it. His blood and qi kept surging. Jiang Feng hurriedly withdrew his gaze and almost couldn’t resist spitting out blood.
Since there was a “Heavenly Peak” in the Heavenly Peak Stone Forest, the rest was naturally a “Stone Forest”.
The gray stone pillars, the size of the roof pillars of a house, were scattered throughout the Heavenly Peak Stone Forest. The stone pillars were as tall as a hundred meters, while the short ones were more than ten meters tall.
Looking around, it was indeed the Stone Forest.
There were also flowers, plants, and trees in the stone forest. After Jiang Feng entered the Heavenly Peak Stone Forest, the first thing he threw into his nose was the smell of soil, trees, flowers, and plants.
There are many woods in the forest, so the air looks wet and fresh.
However, Jiang Feng had no time to feel these things. Once he entered the Heavenly Peak Stone Forest, he ran towards the northeast under the leadership of Xia Wu and Ming Lang.
After walking for about four to five hours, the sky had already changed from dusk to night, and then it began to brighten up.
Jiang Feng and the others still hadn’t found any traces of the Qilin Barbaric Bull.
This Heavenly Peak Stone Forest was simply too big. Finding a desolate beast in such a forest was not an easy task.
Fortunately, Jiang Feng and the others were mentally prepared and did not feel discouraged.
Suddenly, Xia Wu and Ming Lang stopped and made a stop motion.
Jiang Feng immediately stopped.
Xia Wu and Ming Lang squatted down and looked.
Jiang Feng gathered around and saw the huge charred ox hoof mark on the ground. The three of them immediately revealed excited expressions.
“Is it the hoof mark of the Qilin Barbarian Bull?” Jiang Feng asked Xia Wu and Ming Lang.
Xia Wu and Ming Lang nodded slightly. Xia Wu placed his hand on the hoof mark and whispered, “It should be that not long after they passed by, the hoof mark is still warm.” After saying that, Xia Wu looked at Ming Lang and said, “Junior Brother Ming, you can start setting up.”
“Yes.” After Minglang agreed, he immediately took out nine Superior Grade Saint Origin Stones from his Sumeru Sack.
He stood on the spot to identify the direction, and then placed the nine Saint Origin Stones in the north direction.
Jiang Feng then took out nine high-grade Saint Origin Stones and set them right south.
Slowly, Jiang Feng saw that a formation of a high level had been set up.
The entire formation cost eighty-one high-grade Saint Origin Stones.
Setting up a formation was only the first step.
Xia Wu and Ming Lang obviously had a division of labor. Minglang was in charge of driving the formation, while Xia Wu was in charge of the most dangerous part, which was to lure the Qilin Barbarian Ox to the formation.
After Xia Wu confirmed that there was no problem with the formation, he drove the Lightning Eagle Claw Colt away.
At this moment, Jiang Feng called out to Xia Wu, “Brother Xia, I’ll go with you. If anything happens, I can take care of it.”
“You’re coming with me?” Xia Wu looked at Jiang Feng in surprise.
He smiled and said, “Very dangerous Brother Jiang.”
“It’s fine. I’ll definitely let you hold on when I see that the situation isn’t right. I’ll run first.”
“Hahaha” Xia Wu laughed out loud at Jiang Feng’s words. He looked at Jiang Feng with admiration and nodded.
“Alright, then I’ll have to trouble Brother Jiang.”
“You’re welcome.”
Jiang Feng and Xia Wu followed the footprints of the Qilin Barbarian Bull.
