Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming-Chapter 392 - 389: Seizing the Immortal Sword, Red Lotus Spiritual Treasure

Chapter 392 -389: Seizing the Immortal Sword, Red Lotus Spiritual Treasure

When Chu Youhong was absent and observing the battle from a distance, he saw that Jiang Yinghong was able to entangle Qin Feng for so long before being overpowered and sustaining some injuries. It was only due to her arrival that Jiang Yinghong gained a chance to catch her breath. Once the fight resumed, even though Qin Feng could still gain the upper hand, it would take some time for him to suppress Jiang Yinghong again. This gave Chu Youhong some time to deal with the White Dragon’s Burning Sky Holy Flame.

However, to her complete surprise, Qin Feng had been holding back all along and only now did he finally unleash his full strength. Seizing the moment when Jiang Yinghong was weakened from her injuries, he killed her in one fell swoop.

Seeing the disciple she had placed such great hopes on die before her eyes, Chu Youhong suddenly became enraged like a madwoman.

Her lineage had suffered a great disaster in its early years while attempting to seize a treasure in a dangerous place. Even the injuries she carried were from that battle. Due to the years spent healing, she hadn’t had much energy to tutor disciples. Hence, only a few had been taken under her wing, among whom, Jiang Yinghong possessed the talent and temperament that best matched her expectations.

In the years that Jiang Yinghong was trapped in her emotional turmoil, unable to break through in her cultivation realm, Chu Youhong had spared no effort in helping her find opportunities for breakthrough. Now that she had finally overcome her bottleneck and stood a chance to advance, Qin Feng had ended her life.

Chu Youhong had suffered severe injuries in her early years. Her primordial qi was greatly damaged, and not much of her lifespan remained. She no longer had the energy to cultivate another disciple that could be of use.

So, in her rage, Chu Youhong no longer cared about anything else. The unspoken rules of the cultivation world were thrown to the back of her mind at that moment. Nothing mattered more to her than the continuation of her lineage. Since Qin Feng had crushed her many years of dedication and hope, she decided to kill this young man who had shattered her hopes right on the spot.

“Fiend, begone!”

Chu Youhong shouted furiously, her aged voice shaking the void.

Then her aura soared dramatically, and a crimson lotus suddenly appeared beneath her feet.

The lotus, about nine feet in diameter, slowly rotated beneath her.

But with each rotation, hundreds, if not thousands, of lotus sword energy would rise from the petals. In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of sword energy converged, forcefully destroying and dispersing the White Dragon’s forbidden curse of Burning Sky Holy Flame.

Afterward, Chu Youhong, controlling the Red Lotus sword energy, broke through the White Dragon’s defenses and inflicted dozens of wounds, large and small, on its body. The hard dragon scales it was so proud of, at that moment, offered little resistance and were easily penetrated by the sharp Red Lotus sword energy.

The White Dragon roared in shock and spat out a breath of dragon’s flame at Chu Youhong to deter her, then turned and fled.

Such a powerful opponent, such a sharp means of attack, it had never encountered in its life.

Seeing that it was no match, of course, it escaped at once.

It knew its master still had many trump cards up his sleeve. Seeing the old woman in such a rage, it decided it was best not to provoke further mischief here. It would be better to quickly reunite with its master and confront this nearly insane old woman together.

Otherwise, if it continued to resist, it might indeed be slain on the spot by Chu Youhong.

At this moment, Chu Youhong’s strength was overwhelmingly formidable.

As for the injuries on its body, the White Dragon was not too concerned about them.

As a dragon of the Light Element, it was most adept at healing magic.

In fact, before it even reached Qin Feng’s side, its body glowed with the power of light, and most of its superficial wounds had already been healed by the self-healing technique it had used.

“Hmm?”

Seeing Chu Youhong suddenly unleash such powerful methods and display such sharp sword energy, Qin Feng couldn’t help but twitch at the corner of his eyes.

He took a deep breath and looked at the lotus rotating slowly beneath the old woman’s feet, slowly uttering four words, “Immortal Sword Red Lotus?”

“The younger generation does have some insight.”

Chu Youhong coughed lightly, her figure descended slightly, and she stood on the lotus platform within the scarlet lotus, staring at Qin Feng with a grim expression, and coldly laughed, “Since you know the renown of the Red Lotus Immortal Sword, why not come forth willingly to meet your end, what more are you waiting for!”

“Tch…”

To Chu Youhong’s words, Qin Feng showed scorn, “Let’s not mention that your Red Lotus Immortal Sword has been damaged and fallen from its rank, far from its peak of strength. Even at its intact state, I wouldn’t just stretch my neck out for you to kill, right?

Senior Chu, it seems you’ve lived too long and have become senile. Perhaps I should send you on your way, let you die sooner to be reborn sooner, saving you the embarrassment of dishonoring the ancestors of Taiyi Mountain!”

More than ten miles away in Kun City, a building rooftop was occupied by an old man who seemed to be enjoying the commotion.

The old man was clutching delicious roast chicken, devouring it grease dripping from his mouth, and in his other hand, he held a yellow gourd, from which he occasionally gulped down sips of liquid. He did not emanate any discernible presence and looked just like an ordinary old farmer.

However, an ordinary elderly farmer of his advanced white-haired age certainly wouldn’t be sitting on such a perilous rooftop alone; one misstep could at least result in broken legs.

The old man, who was eating and watching the drama, almost choked on a piece of chicken he had just swallowed when he heard Qin Feng’s remark.

Rolling his eyes, he hurriedly drank a big gulp from his Spiritual Wine gourd to swallow the food stuck in his throat, then grumbled annoyedly, “This kid sure has guts, much more amusing than his master back in the day. Ning Wuxu was somewhat clever in his youth but wasn’t as infuriating as this lad.”

With that said, he leaned against the eaves of the roof next to him, pulled off a chicken leg and continued to gnaw.

Although their location was only more than ten miles away from Kun City, Chu Youhong did not detect the presence of the old man. Instead, she was just shaking with rage due to Qin Feng’s words.

She had practiced the ways of cultivation for many years, and was significantly older than Ning Wuxu. How could she endure such mockery from a junior like Qin Feng, who had not even lived a full sixty years? In a fit of anger, she couldn’t help but cough violently for a good while before she could catch her breath.

Chu Youhong, with her wrinkled old hand, pointed at Qin Feng and furiously cursed, “You impudent junior, even your master wouldn’t dare speak to me like that in his day. Now you have the audacity to humiliate me. I shall tear you to pieces!”

“If you ask me, you’d do well to save your strength and go back to enjoying your retirement.”

Qin Feng, looking at Chu Youhong’s current state, felt a stir in his heart, yet his mouth continued unrestrained, mocking her, “With your frail old body, you still wish to challenge me? I’m afraid you’d exhaust yourself to death before you could harm me. With that energy, you might as well return to Taiyi Mountain and take on a disciple with excellent aptitude. With several hundred years of careful guidance, maybe they’d have a chance to inherit your mantle.

Oh, I almost forgot, you probably won’t live that many more years. Looking at you, you’d be lucky to survive another ten or eight years—it must be the blessing of your ancestors.

As for my master, you can only talk about how weak he was back then. Today, my master may break through to the Longevity Dao at any moment, while you’re still lingering in the Purple Mansion Realm. You have the audacity to compare yourself to my master? Admirable, truly admirable!”

“You reckless youth, you’re courting death!”

Chu Youhong, who had cultivated for many years and held a high status, commanded great respect among the elders in the Inner Sect of Taiyi Mountain. When had she ever suffered such indignity, especially from a young junior?

In a rage, Chu Youhong stamped her foot on the lotus platform beneath her. Suddenly, countless layers of lotus blossoms unfurled, sending countless Sword Qi racing toward Qin Feng.

She intended to shred this junior into minced flesh with her Sword Qi, to crush his bones into dust so that he would leave no trace in this world ever again!

Inside Kun City, an old man saw Chu Youhong put the Red Lotus Immortal Sword into action against Qin Feng and immediately raised an eyebrow, “This old devout woman really dares to make a move against that boy. She’s truly courting death!”

He was about to intervene, but suddenly his eyes gleamed, and he retracted his greasy, skinny hand that he had just extended.

Qin Feng let out a light cry, and his form transformed. To the amazement of all the cultivators and mortals inside and outside Kun City who were watching with eyes wide and jaws agape, he became a Rock Giant, over thirty feet tall.

After transforming, Qin Feng’s aura surged, his strength overpoweringly mighty, and the thick rocks covering his body, bolstered by the power of the Earth Element, became terrifyingly defensive.

Especially since a layer of earthy-yellow protective shield now rose around him, any Sword Qi passing through this shield would be weakened significantly. By the time it struck his body, it would struggle to inflict much damage.

Even if the rocks on his body were pierced and shattered, the vast Earth Vein Essence Qi drawn continuously from beneath his feet, along with the yellow light on his body, almost instantly restored the broken rocks to their original state.

Transformed into the Rock Giant, Qin Feng waved his hand, and abruptly dozens of stone spears, several feet in length, rose from the ground, shooting through the air towards Chu Youhong in mid-air with a whooshing sound.

Of course, being a cultivator, he could not fight solely by relying on the inherent talents of a Rock Giant.

In the world of cultivation, there were countless Earth Element Skills. Qin Feng simply had to learn a few, then with the robust magic power of the Rock Giant, he could execute them to become formidable magic attacks.

Elsewhere, the White Dragon also remained active, flanking Qin Feng on both sides, resonating distantly, attempting a pincer attack aimed at catching Chu Youhong off guard.

However, Chu Youhong’s Red Lotus Sword could unleash Sword Qi in all directions, and under her Divine Sense, even if the White Dragon circled behind her to attack in tandem with Qin Feng, she wasn’t the slightest bit afraid. Instead, she relied on the overwhelming power of the Red Lotus Sword to put Qin Feng and the White Dragon in a somewhat ragged state.

Even though Qin Feng had a stone giant body capable of absorbing Earth Vein Power to heal at any moment and the White Dragon was an expert in Healing Magic, temporarily unbothered by such minor injuries, as time went on, the damage they sustained would likely accumulate until it became unbearable.

As for their attacks, Chu Youhong equally disregarded.

She stood atop the Lotus Platform, all of Qin Feng and the White Dragon’s powerful strikes deflected by the countless blades of Sword Qi emitted from the slowly revolving lotus.

The formidable strength of an experienced Purple Mansion Cultivator was plain to see. If the battle continued in this manner, within an hour or two, she might severely injure Qin Feng and the White Dragon.

However, Chu Youhong was all too aware of her own condition; she was seriously injured and using most of her strength to suppress her old wounds, lacking the ability to sustain a prolonged battle. In less than an hour, she would become unable to continue fighting due to excessive True Yuan depletion, which would trigger her injuries and prevent her from wielding her current level of power.

Naturally, she had no idea that Qin Feng’s transformation into a Rock Giant also couldn’t last, or she would’ve devised a different strategy.

So, she quickly resolved to unleash an even more potent force from the Red Lotus Sword to deliver a killing blow to the two.

Chu Youhong bellowed furiously, her Sword Intent soaring to the skies; the previously slowly rotating Red Lotus accelerated suddenly, with a tenfold increase in Sword Qi in an instant, powerful and unmatched, which pressured Qin Feng and the White Dragon even more.

Watching Qin Feng and the White Dragon repeatedly retreat under her ferocious Sword Qi, Chu Youhong couldn’t help but sneer, “What use is your desperate struggling? Just die already!”

Qin Feng activated Shrinking Ground to Inch beneath his feet and, empowered by level nine Rock Giant magic power, could retreat hundreds of yards in a single step; he moved several steps in succession back into the depths of Qifeng Mountain. While dodging sharp attacks, he shifted his position deeper into the mountain, but his words remained defiant, “Old Devout Woman, sure the Red Lotus Sword is powerful, but can you even harness a fraction of its might? If the ancestor who founded your Red Lotus Lineage’s Sword Dao knew that the Red Lotus Immortal Sword had fallen into the hands of an unworthy descendant like you, incapable of exerting even thirty percent of its downgraded power, I wonder if he’d be so furious as to jump out of his coffin.”

Those words nearly infuriated Chu Youhong to death. She snorted angrily through her nostrils, her previously narrow eyes now round and wide with a murderous gaze fixed on Qin Feng. She then ignored the White Dragon altogether, propelling the Red Lotus Sword beneath her feet straight towards Qin Feng.

“How about that, did I touch a sore spot, and now you want to silence me by killing me?”

Qin Feng didn’t stop speaking, relentlessly provoking Chu Youhong as he led her in pursuit of him and kept moving, quickly penetrating dozens of miles into Qifeng Mountain.

He deliberately drew Chu Youhong into the mountain to prevent her overwhelming Sword Qi from inadvertently injuring his clansmen and to engage her within the mountain, keeping his own techniques hidden to avoid having them exposed.

Kun City wasn’t large, but aside from the Qin Family Cultivators, there were also the Huang Family and the Wang Family in the west of the city.

With so many eyes around, it was inevitable the details of their fight would spread. He couldn’t possibly silence all the Cultivators, so his only choice was to lead Chu Youhong into the mountain.

No small cultivator would dare risk their lives by venturing deep into Qifeng Mountain to witness the combat of powerhouses above the Purple Mansion Realm. It’s far too dangerous. A mere touch of the lingering aftermath could annihilate you.

After entering Qifeng Mountain, Qin Feng continued to press on without stopping. It wasn’t until he arrived at a valley formed between two particularly towering peaks that he finally halted his steps.

“What, not running anymore?”

Chu Youhong, standing atop a lotus platform, was suspended high in the air and looked around, saying, “The feng shui here is quite good. Is this where you want to be buried?

“It’s a pity. You shouldn’t have provoked me. I’ve decided to crush your bones into dust and scatter your ashes, leaving you with no place for burial. So, it seems you’ve chosen this place for nothing.”

“How presumptuous!”

Qin Feng snorted coldly. “You really think I’m afraid of you?”

“Youngster, I admit you do have some skill. If it were during my prime, dealing with you and your Spiritual Beast would have required no small effort, and there was even a chance you could escape. But that’s under the circumstance that I didn’t have the Red Lotus Sword.”

Chu Youhong’s tone was laced with a hint of icy arrogance. “No matter what, now I am the Red Lotus Sword Master, wielding the Red Lotus Immortal Sword. Even if the sword spirit has dissipated causing the grade to fall, its foundation remains, and you are not capable of contending against it.

“Your transformation technique is indeed formidable, and that Spiritual Beast of yours is also quite strong, but under the Red Lotus Sword, no matter how powerful you are, death is the only outcome!”

“Who will be the hunter, and who the prey, remains to be seen. Who lives and who dies, we’ll only know after we fight!”

Qin Feng scoffed. “If you want my life, let’s see if you have the ability.”

“You’ll see soon enough!”

Chu Youhong hummed. Her sword intent surged as the Red Lotus Sword, under her command, underwent another transformation: thirty-six petals—sharp as swords, sounding like crisp bells—separated from the sword and aimed at Qin Feng like thirty-six superb Flying Swords.

Qin Feng stomped fiercely onto the ground with his leg, causing hundreds of Earth Spikes to rise. These spikes then shot up from the ground and flew towards the petals.

Bang bang bang…

After a series of dense collisions, hundreds of Earth Spikes were completely crushed by the Red Lotus Petals, which continued unabated, still attacking Qin Feng.

Raising his hands, Qin Feng set up a thick, earthy yellow Defense Shield in front of him, attempting to stop the petals.

The relentless hissing sounds were unceasing as each petal, sharp beyond compare, sliced swiftly through the Defense Shield, rapidly thinning it, seemingly about to break through completely.

“What a formidable Red Lotus Immortal Sword!”

Admiring it, Qin Feng said, “It seems I’ve overestimated myself, Cynthia. We’re no match for her. Retreat, quickly!”

No sooner had he spoken than he, waiting not for the White Dragon’s response, flashed in yellow light and immediately executed the Earth Escape Divine Power to burrow into the ground.

“Run away? Dream on!”

Chu Youhong was furious. This junior had not only killed her carefully nurtured disciples but had also repeatedly humiliated her. Now that he saw he was no match, he wanted to simply walk away, which was simply delusional.

If she let him escape, where would she put her face?

“Such a trivial Earth Escape Divine Power, and you dare to use it in front of me?”

Chu Youhong maneuvered the Red Lotus Sword and, in an instant, had flown from mid-air to a place several feet above the ground. Her Divine Sense locked firmly onto Qin Feng’s figure. She formed a Sword technique with her hands and pointed towards the ground. Almost instantly, more petals separated from the Red Lotus Sword, attacking the ground with a shrill sound of breaking air and directly piercing the ground to attack Qin Feng who was dozens of feet below.

A thunderous noise roared, and moments later, Qin Feng broke through the surface.

Behind him followed nearly a hundred petals, each radiating endless Sword Light.

“Junior, this time let’s see where you can run.”

Chu Youhong spoke coldly, “I will leave you with no escape to the heavens and no door to the earth!”

“Heh heh…”

Qin Feng chuckled lightly, “You’re mistaken. The one with no escape to the heavens and no door to the earth is you.”

“Hmph, bold words when death is at hand. I think… Eh?”

Chu Youhong’s face suddenly changed as she looked up at the sky and saw, out of nowhere, that a web had appeared a hundred feet above her head.

Spider silk as thick as fingers appeared like the world’s most tenacious ropes, entwining the peaks on both sides, while a Ghost-Faced Spider as big as a house hung upside down on the web, busily crawling up and down, tirelessly spewing out spider silk to layout an even denser web.

In just a moment, several layers of web were placed above the valley, and even the entrance of the valley was not spared.

“You actually have a Purple Mansion Realm Ghost-Faced Spider?”

Chu Youhong was truly shocked, “You’re only at the Golden Core Realm; how could you tame so many Purple Mansion Realm demon beasts?”

“A dying man doesn’t need to know so much!”

Qin Feng mocked.

“Hmph.”

Chu Youhong’s expression gradually turned calm as she suppressed the anger in her heart, treating Qin Feng not as a junior for the first time, “I admit that your strength is beyond my expectations, but to think that a few strands of spider silk would trap me is wishful thinking.

On the contrary, the stronger you are, the more determined I am to kill you!

You have gained such strength in not many years of cultivation; if you were to grow, you would certainly become a great enemy of my Taiyi Mountain. Therefore, I must eliminate you today to prevent more of my fellow disciples from dying by your hands.”

“The same old phrase, who lives and who dies will only be known after the battle!”

Qin Feng scoffed, “Senior’s cultivation is indeed profound, and the might of the Red Lotus Immortal Sword truly lives up to its reputation. But with your severe injuries, how long can you last?

I don’t need to defeat you; I just need to delay the fight, and your injuries will flare up again.”

“True, my injuries are severe, and indeed I cannot fight a prolonged battle.”

Chu Youhong looked at Qin Feng impassively, “Now let’s see whether you kill me by attrition or I slay you first!”

“Please enlighten me, senior!”

Qin Feng said solemnly, but his next move almost made Chu Youhong explode with rage.

Qin Feng cast one after another defensive spell in front of him, and in an instant, he had laid down no less than a hundred Earth Element Defense Shields.

And he wasn’t done yet; he continued to cast spells, raising walls of thick stone on the ground, each bearing the powerful aura of magic.

Chu Youhong knew that if she didn’t act to stop him, Qin Feng would turn his surroundings into a defensive fortress.

However, just as she was about to exert her full power wielding the Red Lotus Sword, the White Dragon and the Ghost-Faced Spider’s attacks came first.

The White Dragon’s Dragon Language Magic spewed continuously, the Ghost-Faced Spider not only tried to bind her with its web, but it also cast a vast expanse of pitch-black Demon Flame to burn her, all for the sake of restraining Chu Youhong, preventing her from unleashing her full power against Qin Feng.

Left with no choice, Chu Youhong had to divide her attention to deal with the two spiritual beasts, focusing most of her energy on Qin Feng.

It wasn’t that she didn’t want to kill the beasts first; she simply didn’t have the time, for even if she were to finally kill the Ghost-Faced Spider and the White Dragon, she would still fail if Qin Feng survived.

Therefore, she could only attempt to break Qin Feng’s defenses before her injuries recurred, as long as Qin Feng was killed, even if the two beasts didn’t die, their Divine Souls would be damaged, and it would be easy to slay them afterward.

Yet, as time ticked by, Chu Youhong’s heart turned colder and colder.

She sensed that Qin Feng was at the end of his rope; it seemed his Transformation Technique couldn’t last much longer.

It was a pity she hadn’t thought of that before; now, it was too late to realize.

What made her feel even more helpless was that when Qin Feng’s external defenses were about to crumble entirely, he released a Jade Talisman.

That Jade Talisman emitted a Defensive Magic that could only be cast by someone at the peak of the Purple Mansion Realm; right when she managed to break one, Qin Feng released another.

Moreover, he also took out several more Jade Talismans and waved them at her mockingly.

The message was clear; he had several more defensive talismans. It was just a matter of whether she could break through them or not.

Seeing this, Chu Youhong spat out a mouthful of blood, unable to suppress her internal injuries any longer, and collapsed to the ground.

Then, before Qin Feng made a move, she was struck by the White Dragon’s tail, shattering her physical body.

Just as Chu Youhong’s Nascent Soul emerged from her Purple Mansion Sea of Consciousness, intending to ride the Red Lotus Sword to escape, a ball of pitch-black flame flew towards her. It was the Ghost-Faced Spider’s Soul Burning Demon Fire, which directly incinerated her Nascent Soul.

“Phew…”

Qin Feng took a long breath, sitting down on the ground exhaustedly, looking at the Jade Talismans for other spells in his hand, he said with relief, “Good thing I fooled her; otherwise, it might have been troublesome if she saw through it.”

Afterward, he got up and looked towards the Red Lotus Sword still hovering a few feet off the ground not far away.

“Hehe, the treasured possession of the Taiyi Mountain’s Red Lotus Lineage, from now on, it belongs to me!”
