Immortal Path to Heaven

Chapter 917: Revenge

Big Yellow, the goshawk, and Multi-armed King Kong opened their eyes at the same time. Their eyes were filled with joy, which was obvious that they had gained a lot, and their auras had changed. Of course, the ones that had changed the most were Big Yellow and the goshawk. After all, the king kong was already a Venerable One, hence it would be difficult for it to experience qualitative improvements. On the other hand, it was different for the 2 other beasts.

The sunlight was golden, and it was indescribably charming. The sword Qi on Mount Return Sword had dissipated.

All of a sudden, the goshawk’s eyes flickered. It wanted to say something but stopped. When it quickly flapped its wings, countless feathers fell off.

Ou Yangming could not help but laugh. He gently waved his hand and said, “Don’t worry, after you stabilize your boundary completely and are confident about surviving the Heavenly Disaster, you’ll surely get your Thunderbolt-resistant Suit and Defensive Formations.”

The goshawk’s eyes gleamed brightly. It smiled embarrassedly and said, “Thank you, Master.”

Although it knew its master would not go back on his words, it was still worried about its gains and losses. After all, it could become a Venerable One—the greatest combat power in the Spiritual Realm—thus it was not strange for it to have such thoughts.

Ou Yangming waved his hand. “You deserve this.”

He sighed and thought, ‘As formidable as Immortal Fox was, it was still obstructed by the Heavenly Thunderbolts. If I refine too many pieces of Thunderbolt-resistant Equipment, will I ruin peace in the heavens?’ Before this, he definitely would not have thought this way. After experiencing the series of events in the Forest of Death, he began to revere the heavens more.

Nonetheless, the reverence was exactly what made him want to break through the heavens and see the limits of the universe and his destiny.

With that, the young fellow and the 3 beasts sat quietly until evening. They silently watched the soft afterglow.

Ou Yangming looked at Huixun City and couldn’t help but wonder, ‘Once I leave, when will I return? If Xue Xuanle finds out that I left without saying goodbye, she’ll certainly be sad. Oh, right, I promised to treat her to a drink, but I haven’t done it...’

He had mixed feelings and was a little reluctant to leave.

To put it bluntly, he was just an ordinary person with some abilities. Since he was a mortal, he would naturally miss the past and look forward to the future.

The sunlight was gentle like water, the scenery was beautiful, graceful, and charming. As such, the journey was not lonely for Ou Yangming and his companions.

Under the setting sun, the figures of a young man and 3 beasts were getting further away.

The day Ou Yangming left, Xue Xuanle held the red jade in her hand and looked to the east. Her eyes were filled with tears. In the middle of the night, she kicked her chair lightly to vent her anger as she scolded in a low voice, “Hmph, you still owe me a drink, yet you just ran away like that! Coward, I wasn’t going to eat you anyway. I wouldn’t have bothered at all if others invited me...” She pouted, but her resentment reduced a lot.

Looking at the crescent moon hanging in the sky outside the window, she wondered, ‘Where is he now? Is he in danger? Is he dressed warmly?’

She grabbed the interspatial bag on her body and bit her teeth lightly. ‘I... Won’t disappoint you!’

The instant Xue Xuanle kicked her chair, Ou Yangming shivered for no reason.

Ou Yangming sat next to the bonfire, his eyes reflecting the burning flames. As for the 3 beasts, since they were not small and the young fellow had a vague feeling that the Li family would not let the matter rest, he asked them to hide in the dark.

When Ou Yangming looked at the bonfire, a beautiful figure somehow appeared in his heart. He looked happy, calm, and peaceful. A bonfire, a small bridge, light breezes, and a bright moon. ‘It’d be great if Elder Sister Ying is by my side.’ He later poked the firewood with a stick and took out a sweet potato that was just right. Big Yellow had dug it out from the forest. It had good color and was big. When the skin was removed, a fragrant and sweet smell filled the air.

At that moment, a cold voice was heard coming from the dark.

“Indeed, you should eat quickly, or you won’t have time later.” An old figure walked out from the dark. His face was dry, and his Qi and blood were slightly weak, but he was notably tall. While the elder still had hundreds of years of life left, to a Venerable One... This little bit of lifespan was not considered much.

Ou Yangming was calm. He ate a mouthful of the sweet potato and sized up the black-robed old man. “The Li family?” He raised the question, but he was already sure about the answer.

While he was scanning the old man, the old man was also doing the same to him.

The first feeling that Ou Yangming gave Li Shaoyuan was confidence—extreme confidence. Based on the young fellow’s words and actions, he was not flustered at all as if he was in the midst of strategizing and making decisions for the future. Moreover, he was very young, and his eyes were clean. Even so, the fellow stood like a pine tree that had been rooted and would not waver. The elder immediately thought highly of him. ‘The Li family has met a tough nut this time.’ He scolded Li Tianyu several times again internally.

Despite that, Li Shaoyuan did not want to be at a disadvantage in terms of imposing manner. He uttered coldly, “You’re quite a figure indeed but unfortunately, you’re about to die.”

Ou Yangming argued back, “I won’t die; you’re the one who will die tonight.” As he said this, he calmly ate another mouthful of the sweet potato.

At that time, Big Yellow bared its teeth and jumped out. Its sharp teeth flashed with cold lights, and It looked fierce.

“Just a high-rank spirit beast?” A look of ridicule appeared in Li Shaoyuan’s eyes, and he blamed himself for being too cautious. ‘How strong would an Advanced Spiritualist be even if he has some tricks up his sleeves? Could he be closely protected by a Venerable One? That’s simply nonsense. Which Venerable One is so free?’

Without warning, the goshawk moved. It flapped its wings and stirred up a fierce wind.

Numerous black gold feathers fell and hid in the violent wind. They turned into sharp feather sabers that zoomed straight toward Li Shaoyuan.

“Hmph, so there’s another spirit beast, but they’re merely a top-grade spirit beast and a high-rank spirit beast. They’re still too weak!” A cold light flashed in Li Shao Yuan’s eyes. He tapped his interspatial bag, then a Nine-ringed Silver Dragon Saber appeared in his hand. He directly slashed it at the goshawk, causing saber-lights to surge. He did not want to cause more trouble, so he used a killing move as soon as he attacked.

His Qi and blood were slightly weak, but his strength as a Venerable One was still displayed.

It was as if the violent wind was strangled by an invisible hand, where it crumbled together with the feather sabers that were formed from feathers.

Ou Yangming did not move nor looked up.

Having said that, Multi-armed King Kong hidden in the dark moved. A violent aura came crashing down and pressed on Li Shaoyuan’s shoulder. It was as agile as a ray of dark light, and it blocked in front of the goshawk. When the king kong slammed its arm down and squeezed inward, the saber-light was instantly crushed like an earthworm. Concurrently, it grabbed at Li Shaoyuan like a roc preying on its prey.

Before the king kong knew it, the old man, who had been in Huixun City for 1,000 years, raised his saber to block the attack!

Multi-armed King Kong quickly changed its move, where it slapped the Nine-ringed Silver Dragon Saber instead.

This simple attack made the saber stick tightly to Li Shaoyuan’s body. A forceful vibration was transmitted from the weapon to his palm. It tore the spot between his thumb and index finger, causing blood to drip down. On top of that, the elder staggered 3 to 4 steps back.

The king kong did not chase after him. Instead, he looked at Ou Yangming and asked softly, “Master, are you alright?”

“I’m fine.” The elder’s Qi momentum did not touch Ou Yangming at all, so how could anything happen to him? He continued to eat the sweet potato and looked up coldly. “Since you’re already here, don’t leave. King Kong, kill him!” The young fellow would respect others more if they respected him as well but If others bullied him, he would fight back right away. He had suffered a lot since young, so it was inevitable for him to have some grievances deep down.

“Yes, Master.” Multi-armed King Kong’s fighting will surged.

Upon seeing this, Li Shaoyuan’s mind thudded many times because he knew he was in trouble. The king kong’s respect toward Ou Yangming came from the bottom of its heart, and it could not have been faked at all.

He said hatefully to himself, ‘It’s a Venerable One, and yet it addressed a human as its master. Is the world about to change? Besides, how capable must he be for a spirit beast to willingly regard him as its master?’ At this point, he wished that he could skin Li Tianyu alive. ‘You could’ve provoked anyone but why did you offend such a freak?’

In any case, since things had come to this point, there was no turning back.

Li Shaoyuan let out a soft cry. With a flash of thought, the spiritual Qi in his dantian began to burn like flames. His body, meridians, and even his blood were burning. 2 flames seemed to be burning fiercely in his dim eyes, and even the Nine-ringed Silver Dragon Saber had turned red in his hand. A burning sensation spread in all directions, causing the air within 33 meters from the elder to be distorted. Afterward, a saber-light flashed out and painted the horizon red.

An exceptionally blazing force shot toward Multi-armed King Kong!

“Die!” Li Shaoyuan raised his left hand and pressed down. The scorching saber-light instantly spread out.

It turned into fire whips that extended out like venomous snakes. The space within 333 meters from him was filled with fire whips that looked like falling meteors. The elder was certain that Multi-armed King Kong would be flustered by the attack. As long as it revealed a flaw, he would release the hidden magic weapon in his left sleeve. If the 2 weapons attacked together, the spirit beast would surely be heavily injured, and its soul might even be destroyed.

As long as the Venerable One was dealt with, things would be simpler for Li Shaoyuan.

Multi-armed King Kong did not know that Li Shaoyuan was having an inner drama. Even if it knew, it would not be affected at all. Its Qi momentum surged smoothly, and its fist was wrapped in black light as it threw a punch.

“Break!” The king kong sounded calm and indifferent, but it sounded firm and confident. Its cold and sharp fist-wind broke the fire whips that enveloped the area, causing sparks to fill the sky. As a result, the elder failed to obstruct the king kong at all, let alone making it reveal its flat.

Li Shaoyuan took a step back and had a grave look on his face

He felt that Multi-armed King Kong was much stronger than ordinary Venerable Ones.

“Kill!” Multi-armed King Kong grunted. Its hair stood on their ends, and its body suddenly expanded. It looked extremely oppressive, and an illusory ancient ape appeared behind its back. The second the illusion appeared, a profound and ancient feeling spread out. The illusory ape’s eyes were tightly shut, and a flickering black light could be seen on it.

Ou Yangming noted softly, “It’s rare to see a life-or-death fight between Venerable Ones so pay attention to it. If you can gain some enlightenment, it’ll also be a great opportunity for you.” Perhaps there were many fights between Venerable Ones, but they would rarely fight to their deaths. After all, if an enemy wanted to leave, there would be no way to keep them. Therefore, unless there was a serious enmity between Venerable Ones, they would not be engaged in a life-or-death fight.
