Chapter 146: Chapter 94: Visitor from Beyond the Skies

"Mountain Master truly possesses divine attributes. I’ll go help you scout the enemy!" Talking Sparrow was full of enthusiasm, brimming with passion.

In its view, all outsiders had been dealt with; a mere Golden Armor Guard was nothing to fuss over!

In the night sky, the mount of the black-clothed woman panicked as its rider was killed by an adversary in a very short time, causing it to want to flee immediately.

Qin Ming drew his bow full circle, and an Iron Arrow flew, puncturing the raptor through the night fog with a ’thud’, gushing out a stream of blood and severely wounding it.

"If you don’t want to die, land on the ground immediately," Qin Ming commanded from atop the Crimson Eagle, his clothes fluttering forcefully, pressing the Exotic Bird to land.

"Mountain Master, something is not right; that Golden Armor Guard’s mount turned out to be a Bat Bird," Talking Sparrow returned and promptly reported.

"Is the Bat Bird something special?" Qin Ming asked.

"The sense of smell of the Bat Bird ranks top in the mountains, with few in number, often used to track enemies," Talking Sparrow quickly explained.

It asked urgently, "Has someone tampered with you? I notice that the Golden Armor Guard is very composed, seeming certain he could track you down."

Qin Ming sniffed himself but did not detect any strange smells.

"The variety of scents a Bat Bird can detect far surpasses what other creatures can perceive," Talking Sparrow was quite wary of this Alien Species.

"So you’re saying I’ve been hit? Human hearts are unpredictable." Qin Ming frowned. He suspected that someone tampered with him during a meet with an acquaintance in Yinteng Town.

The perpetrator might not necessarily have been Zheng Maoze, since it could be done without physical contact.

"Has he arrived yet?" Qin Ming asked.

"He landed at the edge of the wilderness and hasn’t come straight in," Talking Sparrow informed.

"He’s keeping his distance from the black-clothed woman, probably afraid of misunderstanding," Qin Ming had already anticipated, that wasn’t the follower of the black-clothed woman.

Otherwise, how could the Golden Armor Guard lag so far behind, watching outsiders act personally, he should have been the first to move.

"Since a Bat Bird has followed us and we can’t hide, let’s fight to the end. Quick, set it up!" Qin Ming was not prepared to flee.

On the black-clothed woman’s body, apart from the burnt small shield and a black spear as long as chopsticks, and some Day Gold, there were no other items of high value.

"Flap your wings and erase some of the battle traces here; make it quick!" Qin Ming ordered the Crimson Eagle.

He then looked at Talking Sparrow, saying, "You take the woman’s shoes, follow behind me, and leave some footprints on the sand."

"Mountain Master, you are making it difficult for a bird," Talking Sparrow protested with fluttering wings.

"Being a mutant creature, isn’t this very easy for you? You must act quickly; although he is keeping distance from the black-clothed woman, he can’t wait for long," Qin Ming urged.

Qin Ming grabbed the corpse of the woman, dashing into the dark night fog.

His killing of the black-clothed woman did not provoke any dangerous or terrifying scenes in the wilderness; he suspected it might align with certain rituals of Esoteric Buddhism, indirectly serving as an offering.

According to rumors, if other divine beings had been sacrificed in blood in the wilderness, it was easy to encounter trouble.

"Stay there and wait for me!" Qin Ming commanded the wounded mount of the black-clothed woman not to move around.

He took off his jacket, buried it in the yellow sand, and disguised the site.

Qin Ming used a section of the black-clothed woman’s sleeve to vigorously wipe his neck and hands, unsure if it would remove the odd smell.

Then, he "scrubbed" himself with the yellow sand.

"Why hasn’t he come in yet?" he waited for a moment, but the Golden Armor Guard had not yet entered.

After killing the black-clothed woman, Qin Ming’s fighting spirit soared.

In the past, many people had told him how formidable outsiders were, not to be provoked lightly, indeed putting some pressure on him.

Additionally, the young man capable of detaching into a fog body last time had also left him extremely wary; if not for the Mutton Fat Jade Iron Blade being a perfect counter to the "Fog Body," he would have been in real danger.

But today, the so-called difference between Immortal and Mortal seemed exaggerated in his view. After multiple integrations of Heavenly Light Force, he was now capable of harming such individuals.

Of course, Qin Ming did not dare underestimate the Outer World, as it was indeed terrifying, given that the first realm already allowed the exhibition of Consciousness power.

"Heart Pavilion, clear of distractions, creating a state of pure calm to approach enlightenment, awakening the Light of the Soul, and generating the power of Consciousness— such lofty intentions," Qin Ming could not help but sigh.

This did not mean that people from the Outer World would neglect the Body; in later stages of cultivation, they would imbue the body with extraordinary power, without obvious weaknesses.

Most terrifying was that their path was very mature, allowing them to progress rapidly.

Whereas the Newborn Road only progresses rapidly at the first realm and becomes difficult upon reaching the Outer Saint Domain.

Heart Pavilion benchmarked against Newborn; normally, after multiple awakenings of the Light of the Soul in the Heart Pavilion realm, it could suppress the majority of Heavenly Light Force.

Sometimes, those repeatedly reborn felt very despondent, possessing robust Heavenly Light Force yet unable to impact someone from the Heart Pavilion realm who had multiple awakenings of Consciousness power, as if naturally restrained.

In the end, it was commonly believed: Newborn couldn’t compete with Heart Pavilion.

This had almost become a consensus!

"Heaven Supporting Strength, Tathagata power, should be able to shake the experts from the Outer World, but such legendary Heavenly Light Forces are probably hard to train and not circulated outside."

After regaining his memory, Qin Ming was aware of many things.

The so-called Dining with the Sunset does not involve eating the morning sunrays or drinking night vapor and dew but consuming rare materials from top Fire Springs and mystical "Heavenly Light" from the depths of the night sky.

Those capable of Dining with the Sunset were truly formidable individuals from the Outer World.

People like the black-clothed woman, still at the Heart Pavilion realm, were still consuming grains.

The Newborn Road spread widely mainly because of its low threshold; ordinary people wanting to advance could only rely on body mutation.

Qin Ming no longer thought about the path to the Outer World, he was fully prepared and ready for battle.

"Mountain Master, I have given too much for you this time, you must not fail!" Talking Sparrow muttered to himself, his voice trembling.

"How long will it take to finish him off?" The Golden Armor Guard grew impatient and spurred on the Bat Bird.

It flapped its fleshy wings, slowly entering the desert.

On the sandy ground, there were scattered footprints and some traces of blood, pointing deep into the night fog.

The Bat Bird, possessing bat-like fleshy wings, the body of a bird, a beastly head like that of a tiger or leopard, and a long coarse nose like a pig’s, had an exceptionally keen sense of smell.

It followed the scent trail, flying low and silently nearing its target.

"Hmm, could she have already succeeded, killing him and burying him underground?" The Golden Armor Guard frowned.

Because the Bat Bird indicated to him that beneath the sands ahead, there was a strong scent of their target.

"After killing her opponent, why would she bury the body? It looks like something went wrong!" The Golden armored man, holding a shining Large Sword, revealed a cold intent.

The Bat Bird signaled that there was a strong scent ahead.

"Ah, burying clothes in the sand; it indeed wasn’t very effective," Qin Ming’s voice came from the distance in the night fog.

"You are quite capable, Rebirth confronting Heart Pavilion, to kill one of the outsiders like that," the man on the Bat Bird, clad in radiant golden armor and eyes like lightning.

He vaguely saw, through the fog, a seemingly severely injured Crimson Eagle lying on the ground.

"She’s not dead, she has escaped," Qin Ming’s heavy breathing followed from behind the several meters long Crimson Eagle, indicating he was seriously injured.

"You don’t need to pretend, she surely must have died!" the Golden Armor Guard coldly said, as the Bat Bird carried him slowly forward.

Just then, he suddenly sensed something was amiss, as if a great danger was imminent, Heavenly Light rapidly bursting out from his body all over.

"Ah..." he roared, finally realizing where the crisis was coming from. It wasn’t from the direction he was focused on, but from the night sky above, where Meteorite Iron was unexpectedly falling from the sky!

Who could endure this? The high-speed heavy object made his hair stand on end!

This abrupt change of events, even trying to dodge was almost too late. Who could have anticipated such an unexpected situation?

It must be said, his instinctive intuition was extremely strong, if it had been someone else, they would have been crushed into pulp by the falling Meteorite Iron, but he managed to dodge the vital points at the crucial moment.

With a ’pu’ sound, his Heavenly Light was penetrated, and one arm was severely mutilated, as the Large Sword fell to the ground.

Meanwhile, his Bat Bird was struck by the falling Meteorite Iron; it did not possess such a strong physique and died instantly, plummeting headfirst into the desert from low altitude.

The Golden Armor Guard observed the Meteorite Iron—it was hammer-shaped!

To be precise, it was a Big Hammer that had dropped from the sky.

Anger overwhelmed him; he had been outsmarted.

"Foolish bird, run, I told you to play dead, not to actually die!" The loud shout of Talking Sparrow came from ahead.

It quickly flapped its wings and took off. It had been entrusted by Qin Ming just earlier to mimic his voice and trick the Golden Armor Guard.

Crimson Eagle also shook its body and with a whoosh, soared into the night sky.

Under the cover of night, Qin Ming stood on the back of the black Raptor he had previously heavily wounded, his eyes gleaming like stars.

His Arrow Technique was exceptional, not merely talk, which also meant his throwing skills were profound; when he swung the Big Hammer to smash down earlier, he himself felt confident in hitting the target.

The Golden Armor Guard was beyond furious; the battle hadn’t even truly begun, and his arm was already ruined, smashed into a mess, the immense pain paired with the feeling of humiliation made him explode in rage, Heavenly Light surging wildly, his whole body dazzlingly bright.

Qin Ming commanded the black Raptor to fly lower, shooting arrow after arrow downwards!

His pupils contracted, because the Iron Arrow was blocked by the opponent’s Heavenly Light, failing to pierce through his body.

This was a master capable of initially externalizing Heavenly Light; the dazzling light could extend about half a foot out of his body, blocking the Iron Arrows, even snapping some of the Arrow feathers.

Qin Ming was taken aback, to deal with him, they had sent a master who was just stepping into the Outer Saint level!

However, it was not a big deal; he had already taken down the opponent’s flying mount, and now the initiative was in his hands.

Qin Ming continued to shoot arrows, aiming to exhaust his opponent’s powerful Heavenly Light, hoping eventually to take down an Outer Saint!

The Golden Armor Guard had never felt so stifled before; this kind of battle was too unbearable, gravely wounded by a Meteorite Iron that fell out of nowhere, and now being used as a live target!

Qin Ming quickly depleted the stock from four Arrow Tubes, with only the last Arrow Tube remaining, but suddenly he began to shake violently.

"Quick, land!"

Originally, his strategy was perfect, but now an accident had occurred; human plans can’t compare to the heavens’, the black Raptor being shot through by him was not lightly wounded, and the great force he exerted when throwing the Big Hammer, his feet pressing down on it, almost "sent it away."

Now it struggled to fly in the sky, wobbling towards the ground.

"Crimson Eagle!" Qin Ming shouted loudly.

However, Crimson Eagle and Talking Sparrow had run as far as they could earlier, and distant waters couldn’t quench immediate thirst.

"Ha ha..." The deeply humiliated and frustrated Golden armored man laughed loudly, picked up the Large Sword from the ground with his left hand, and after determining the area the Raptor would fall, he strode towards it.

"Is this... not satisfied with throwing only the Big Hammer, so threw yourself down too?" Talking Sparrow arrived nearby, staring dumbfounded.

Crimson Eagle also arrived, but it was too late.

The composure and light smile that Qin Ming had earlier vanished; he was not about to fall to his death, the black Raptor although descending, wasn’t plummeting directly, but gliding down, what was more dangerous though, was that he was about to face an Outer Saint!
