As the Double-headed Eagle Leader ran, it shrieked, with Qi Tian in hot pursuit. Apart from the few hundreds of demonic birds in this place, only a bit more than twenty possessed a unique bloodline, and even thirty was an impossibility. On average, only one in dozens possessed one. Such a low ratio indicated that it was difficult to encounter special bloodline demonic birds, let alone a Half-step Golden Core Double-headed Eagle Leader. Its unique bloodline was even more precious than the average special bloodline demonic bird, so missing such an opportunity was out of question.

Many demonic birds came to assist upon hearing the Double-headed Eagle Leader’s plea for help. However, apart from the Eagle Demonic Birds, the rest were usually at the Foundation Establishment Stage and none of them were at the Half-step Golden Core Stage who are of other species. Competition existed among the demonic birds, just as it did among humans cultivators. Now, while they can’t help but join hands due to the circumstances, these inherent confrontations were ingrained within them. It was difficult to be completely eliminated, and at this point, not creating another issue for the Double-headed Eagle Leader was already a sign of giving it face. As for expecting them to come assist the Double-headed Eagle Leader, that was just wishful thinking.

Without Half-step Golden Core demonic birds blocking his path, Qi Tian found it easier to chase the Double-headed Eagle Leader. As for those Foundation Establishment Stage demonic birds blocking the path, they were nothing more than obstacles. With a sweep of the Red Hoop Stick, Qi Tian could obliterate them.

Qi Tian’s ferociousness frightened the Double-headed Eagle Leader. To escape, it had to use some methods that could potentially harm its roots. One of the eagle heads pecked at the other, the latter quickly becoming bloody. The eyeballs were pecked off by the former and swallowed without resistance.

To Qi Tian’s surprise, one of the eagle heads of the Double-headed Eagle Leader didn’t slow down due to injury. On the contrary, its speed was gradually increasing. Furthermore, as more and more flesh from the second head was pecked away, the augmentation in speed showed signs of increasing faster.

Its own ferocity scared quite a few demonic birds. Initially, they blocked the path of the Double-headed Eagle Leader. Now, they moved based on the Double-headed Eagle Leader’s call. Before the Double-headed Eagle Leader even reached them, they had already given way. Moreover, some even changed their neutral attitudes and flew towards Qi Tian.

Qi Tian’s speed was partly affected, but as there weren’t any Half-step Golden Core demonic birds blocking the way, the impact was rather limited.

Soon, Qi Tian and the Double-headed Eagle Leader passed through the battlefield in the sky, where humans and the demonic birds were locked in fierce combat. The Double-headed Eagle Leader flapped its wings, trying to escape into the distance as quickly as possible, disregarding everything else. Nonetheless, its main aim was to save itself first.

Several Double-headed Eagles followed swiftly behind them, but going by their speed, they had little chance of catching up with Qi Tian and the Double-headed Eagle Leader. They could only futilely chase after them.

The Double-headed Eagle Leader, finding it impossible to shake off Qi Tian, cruelly bit its own mutilated eagle head with its healthy mouth. Its sharp beak slashed down, and with that single stroke, the disfigured eagle head was completely severed. Afterward, it gulped down the other eagle head.

Instantly, a radiant light flashed on the Double-headed Eagle Leader. A whirlwind erupted around it, instantly doubling its speed, fleeing forward like an arrow released from a bow.

The Double-headed Eagle Leader turned its head back to give Qi Tian a glance. Its actions now would severely hurt its vitality, making it impossible to grow back a similar head no matter how much it recuperates in the future. This would significantly weaken its power, potentially affecting its status within the Eagle Demon Bird Tribe. As the saying goes, ‘the deepest hatred is carved into one’s bones’. It wanted to imprint Qi Tian’s face deeply into its memory, and if the opportunity arises, it vowed to rip Qi Tian apart, to avenge the hatred that it felt on this day.

The Double-headed Eagle Leader originally thought that when it looked back, it would see Qi Tian’s fear and unwillingness. However, what it saw stunned it to the core. The distance between them had not increased at all; instead, it had reduced. Qi Tian’s damn flying sword, carrying Qi Tian, chased it at an even faster speed, as though it had a rocket booster installed. Wherever the flying sword went, it emitted a sharp, mournful cry as if the air was being sliced in two.

The Double-headed Eagle Leader was aghast. It didn’t dare to turn its head anymore. It flapped its wings with all its might, using all its strength to fly as far into the distance as possible. This cultivator was simply too frightening, it vowed that if it managed to escape safely this time, it would steer clear of this cultivator in the future.

As for Qi Tian, he didn’t know what the Double-headed Eagle Leader was thinking. Under his control, the Heavenly Dao Engine operated in Speed Multiplier Mode, supplying an overwhelming force to the flying sword beneath his feet, enabling the flying sword to chase the Double-headed Eagle Leader at a speed far exceeding its normal limits.
