My Master Only Breaks Through on the Edge of Death - Chapter 323
Chapter 323: Chapter 296: Flaming Wolves Beast Crystal
Translator: 549690339
In this world, mortal cities will face attacks from exotic beasts every once in a while.
Although the strength of the exotic beasts is not strong, merely equivalent to the Qi Cultivation and Foundation Establishment Stage in the Cultivation World, they cannot be dealt with by ordinary people. Every time a beast tide comes, some cities are unable to withstand the attacks of the exotic beasts and are massacred.
“Husband, where did you hear this?” Su Rentian exclaimed in surprise, with a hint of despair in his tone.
“The old beggar in the city mentioned it. By the way, he has another identity, the Sky Demon Sect’s Battle Elder, an existence that shakes the entire Sky
Demon Continent.”
“l exchanged this news for a bottle of wine,” sighed Li Xingci.
“Sigh, he’s a big deal even in the Sky Demon Continent,” Su Rentian sighed.
“So what do we do now? Ordinary mortals can only rely on the city’s defenses and weapons to barely defeat the Foundation Establishment Stage exotic beasts.’
“As for Nascent Soul Stage, that’s no different from sending ourselves to our deaths.’
“It’s not that there’s no hope, it just depends on whether the item given by the master is useful or not.” Li Xingci looked at his nail cover, which had already turned half gold, and said, still puzzled why it didn’t turn into a ring instead.
“Going by the current progress, we’ll have to wait at least another month,” Su Rentian said.
After Li Xingci’s nail cover began to turn gold, they became expectant, wondering what would happen once the nail cover turned completely gold.
“Master, that old man has come to beg for food again,” an apprentice’s voice came.
As a blacksmith who can forge weapons, Li Xingci’s identity in this small city is considered top-notch. It could be said that besides the City Lord, his status is the highest.
After Li Xingci crafted a qualified weapon using crude tools, his position in this small city was undisputed.
“Let him in,” Li Xingci declared in a loud voice.
A dirty old man entered.
“Senior, where have you been wandering about?” Li Xingci asked with a smile.
“Senior, this title has only been heard from you newcomers. After a while, I’ll be back to being just a ragged old man,” the old man said with a laugh, his eyes seemingly capable of seeing through everything in the world.
“Senior will always be Senior, and that will never change,” Li Xingci said.
This good quality originated from Xu Fan’s special education for him.
“Do not offend those who have lost their cultivation level, or else you will trigger a face-slapping situation,” Li Xingci didn’t understand the meaning at the time, but the phrase was firmly engraved in his heart.
At this moment, a middle-aged woman dressed as a cook entered with a lunchbox, respectfully laid out the food in the lunchbox on the table, and then bowed before withdrawing.
An apprentice attended to them. They had meat and wine for three meals a day and were served by others, which was the highest treatment in this small city.
“Senior, please,” Li Xingci poured a cup of wine for the old man and made a gesture of invitation.
“Young man, if I can get out one day, I will ensure that your path to immortality is smooth and that you’ll ascend to the Great Thousand World of Immortals,” the old man said leisurely after taking a sip of wine.
“How would you thank me if I could take you out, Senior?” Li Xingci joked.
“Now that I am over 4,800 years old, with more than 5,000 years left, I will be your Tao Protector,” he replied.
“Senior, are you serious?”
“l just fear that I won’t live long enough. It’s been 100 years, and this world no longer allows me to live,” the old man finished the wine in his cup, looked up at a certain part of the sky, and scoffed.
At that moment, three bell chimes rang out in the small city.
Li Xingci and the old man’s expressions changed slightly.
“Let’s go, there are exotic beasts attacking,” the old man said.
The two raced forward, with apprentices following behind carrying a large bundle of Vajra Swords.
On the city walls, more than a hundred flaming giant wolves stared at the small city with menacing eyes.
“Star Ci, you’re here,” a muscular middle-aged man nodded to Li Xingci as he addressed him.
“Hmm, what’s the combat power of these giant wolves?” Li Xingci asked.
“At the level of the Qi Refining high layer, these Flaming Wolves Exotic Beasts specifically target small cities like ours. It’s said that theyve already slaughtered three cities.” The City Lord said with a headache.
“Star Ci, do you have any ideas? Since your archery skills are excellent, try if you can kill the Head Wolf.” The City Lord said.
” I’ll try.”
At this moment, an Apprentice handed over a Great Bow and Vajra Arrows, which were the same as the Transforming Bow that Li Xingci had created earlier in their power.
Li Xingci aimed at the largest Head Wolf in the distance and shot three arrows consecutively.
‘Awoo-•
One arrow broke through the outer layer of the Flaming Wolf’s protective flame, another arrow broke through its defense, and the last arrow directly pierced into the Flaming Wolf’s body.
Suddenly, the entire pack of wolves became agitated, and then the Head Wolf led its underlings to retreat.
The people on the city wall began to cheer, and then everyone in the city celebrated surviving another wave of beasts.
In the evening, after finishing the celebration banquet, Li Xingci returned home.
“Husband, are you going to deal with that pack of Flaming Wolves?” Su Rentian asked as she watched Li Xingci putting a quiver on his back.
“Master once said that wolves bear grudges. If we don’t eradicate them completely, they will come back for revenge sooner or later.” Li Xingci said.
“Hmm, go early and come back early.” Su Rentian said. Although there was worry in her eyes, she didn’t stop him.
“Hmm.”
As soon as Li Xingci left the city gate, he met the old man from the daytime,
“Young man, are you going to exterminate that pack of Flaming Wolves Exotic Beasts?” The old man asked.
“Haha, senior is a brilliant guesser.”
“Alright, my old bones have been saved once again.” The old man chuckled. There was a sense of indifference toward life and death in his words.
“Senior, do you plan to go as well?” Li Xingci asked with confusion. Could it be that this old man had some hidden cards up his sleeve?
“I’m a Mahayana Venerable after all, I should have some means.”
“My Sky Demon Disintegration Technique can still demonstrate the combat power of the Foundation Establishment Stage, even without spiritual power and at the cost of consuming my blood and Qi.” The old man said. “Senior, no need for you to take action. Just watch me operate.”
With that, the two of them disappeared into the vast night sky.
Three hours later, when they returned, Li Xingci had a bag of Beast Crystals in his hand.
Meanwhile, the old man was still exclaiming in amazement, “Mortal techniques can be so exquisite! ! ”
“Senior, be prepared. It won’t be long before I can take you out, and don’t forget your promise by then.”
Li Xingci smiled. If they had a Tao Protector at the level of a Mahayana Venerable, he wondered what his Master’s reaction would be.
“As long as I get out, 1 will sign a Heavenly Contract with you.” The old man said with a smile, his eyes full of longing for the Cultivation World – for that was where he belonged, and even if he were to die, it should be there.
“Deal.” Li Xingci said as he looked at the half-disappeared Beast Crystal in his hand.
Unexpectedly, it could be absorbed by the Nail Cover.
At this time, within the Hidden Spirit Island, Xu Fan sensed the direction of the Sky Demon Continent, feeling the uncertain fate of his silly disciple, and said, “It seems that bringing the girl will also face tribulations.”
A strand of Li Xingci’s hair appeared in Xu Fan’s hand, and a Yin and Yang Copper Coin floated above it.
Feeling his luck for today, Xu Fan hesitated for a long time before throwing the Yin and Yang Copper Coin.
“What if it’s the Yin side? That would harm my disciple..”
