Chapter 399: Chapter 378: The Furious Bloodthirsty Beast_1

"I won’t go!"

As if in response to Liou Youyu, Pang Jian uttered a light cry, and the Sword Boat turned around and left.

Liou Youyu quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

She shrank in her own Flying Fish Ship, stuck out her tongue, and muttered softly, "My aunt repeatedly told me to take special care of him."

"But he..."

The young girl slightly furrowed her brow and said, "I just hope he won’t be too rash."

At the other end.

The turnaround of the Sword Boat left Han Duping and the Individual Cultivators on the Red Rosy Clouds Boat completely baffled.

Zhou Qingchen shouted, "Han!"

"Understood!"

The Red Rosy Clouds Boat also turned immediately.

As majestic ships drew closer to the Brocade Cloud Fragment Land, both the Sword Boat and the Red Rosy Clouds Boat behaved counter to this approach, withdrawing like turtles retracting their heads.

"Your Highness, the people of Red Mountain don’t follow orders, in my view!" an Astonish Rainbow Army general shouted angrily.

Zhu Wenle shook his head and said, "The one speaking was not Zhou Qingchen, but Sword Tower’s Pang Jian. We might be able to restrain Red Mountain, but we have no way with the Sword Tower."

Ning Shuo of the Demon Sect, and Yu Huan of Sky Water Swamp, also sighed softly, "The Sword Tower, indeed has such confidence."

Whenever chaos erupts, the Sword Tower will witness the emergence of earth-shattering individuals, unchanged through each era.

The Sword Tower, even though it had descended from the First Realm, was still considered on equal footing with the many powerful factions, in the eyes of other prestigious Sects and in the eyes of their own people.

None of the three Divine Countries of Eastland had the capacity or the right to restrain the Sword Tower, nor did they see themselves higher than the Sword Tower.

The prestige of the Sword Tower was built by numerous Sword Gods who made outstanding contributions to the entire Purgatory Human Tribe, and no one dared deny or ignore this.

"Forget about them, let’s join forces and enter the Brocade Cloud Fragment Land!"

Zhu Wenle called out.

Ning Shuo, Yu Huan, Qin Xiao, and others all responded one after another.

Soon, those ships and Divine ships that had stopped due to the Flying Fish Ship then roared into motion once more, transforming into streaks of impressive-looking light halos, shooting towards the Brocade Cloud Fragment Land.

Aboard the Sword Boat, Zhou Qingchen’s expression was serious, "Pang Jian, did you feel something was amiss too?"

"Hmm, before I came here, I heard something was not right with the Brocade Cloud Fragment Land too." Pang Jian glanced at the dissatisfied Individual Cultivators on the Red Rosy Clouds Boat and said, "If you want to be in the vanguard, it’s still not too late to chase after them now."

"It’s not that."

Wu Xuanfeng hurriedly shook his head and said with a bitter smile, "Miss Liou of Yuan Qing Divine Nation said that the Brocade Cloud Fragment Land is dangerous. How dare we not believe her? It’s just that..."

"We are, after all, rootless Individual Cultivators; I fear that the young master of the Zhu family will hold a grudge in his heart and make things difficult for us later on."

"Yes, with a True God sitting in the Bright Heaven Divine Kingdom of the Zhu family, we fear that he will blame us for this matter."

Another Individual Cultivator chimed in.

Pang Jian narrowed his eyes, speaking indifferently, "They may not necessarily live through it."

The Individual Cultivators were alarmed upon hearing this.

"Whoosh!"

The previously departed Flying Fish Ship made a roundabout move and quietly appeared not far from the Sword Boat.

Liou Youyu, who had been hiding inside, finally revealed her delicate and exquisite figure, glaring annoyedly at Pang Jian and shaking the wooden token in her hand as a signal.

"Liou Youyu!"

The Individual Cultivators and Zhou Qingchen all exclaimed in surprise.

Han Duping, licking his face with a smile, said, "Pang, do you two... know each other?"

"Sort of."

As he spoke, Pang Jian took the wooden token out of his storage bracelet and held it in his palm.

"The exquisite manipulation of the Hunyuan Ball, I recalled some, and will now let you know. Also... it’s best you don’t go to the Brocade Cloud Fragment Land just yet, wait for me to go over and clear things up first. If it’s not too dangerous, you can go in later to fetch Contribution Value," the gentle and ethereal voice of Liou Youyu kept ringing out.

"The same wooden token, inscribed with the character Liou..." Zhou Qingchen’s expression was bizarre. He gave a light cough, hinting at something as he said, "Pang Jian, don’t bite off more than you can chew; it’s better to be devoted when it comes to feelings. The women you’ve entangled with are each very impressive in their own right, and even the status of Tower Master’s Direct Disciple might not save you."

Despite his advice, envy was clearly written on his face.

"Irrelevant."

Pang Jian was engrossed in comprehending the wonderful uses of the Hunyuan Ball.

"Swoosh!"

This grey-colored iron ball sometimes shot out like a marble with lightning speed, and at other times while flying back, it enlarged a hundredfold, rumbling like a grinding disc that crushed everything.

"The Hunyuan Ball, small and fast like lightning when it’s small, yet heavy as tens of thousands of pounds when it’s big, and can change whimsically at will – indeed, its uses are boundless."

"The key lies in the explosion and concealment of various Spiritual Powers. With just Spiritual Power, it is small and quick; with an abundance of Alien Power, it becomes large and heavy."

"..."

Pang Jian was not eager to enter the Brocade Cloud Fragment Land.

He was trying to control this Hunyuan Ball with the Secret Skill informed by Liou Youyu, aiming to use it skillfully in a short time.

He did not activate the Sword Boat, and Zhou Qingchen was equally complacent in tempering his Long Blade, just as calm and collected.

The group of Individual Cultivators had many thoughts, but with the Red Rosy Clouds Boat in Han Duping’s hands, they could only reluctantly accompany them.

Not long after.

Liou Youyu’s exclamation came once again from the wooden token in Pang Jian’s hand: "Brocade Cloud Fragment Land is extremely dangerous, many Spirit Beasts have become violent and are fighting each other, and their Bloodline levels have made major breakthroughs! Someone has gathered many Spirit Beasts, stimulating their Bloodline potential, and many are being slaughtered by them."

"Pang Jian, this battle will definitely not be easy; it’s best you don’t get involved."

"You should go back to the Auspicious Light Fragment Land; from there, you can still communicate with the exchange points on the Qian Tian Continent, and the Heavenly Eye can still be noticed by people from the Qian Tian Continent."

"..."

The messages from Liou Youyu kept coming.

Pang Jian’s brows gradually furrowed, and suddenly he said, "Zhou, after leaving the Auspicious Light Fragment Land, do we need to exchange the heads of the slain Alien Tribes and Ferocious Beasts for tokens ourselves?"

"Mhm," Zhou Qingchen replied. "This place is far from the Qian Tian Continent and the Heavenly Eye can no longer function here."

"Han, you take the Red Rosy Clouds Boat back to the Auspicious Light Fragment Land first; Zhou and I will head to the Brocade Cloud Fragment Land," Pang Jian instructed. "Many people have started to die tragically in the Brocade Cloud Fragment Land, where the Ferocious Beasts and Spirit Beasts have gone mad, feeling no pain and fearing no death, becoming very difficult to deal with."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingchen also hastily said, "Han, you go back!"

"Alright!"

Han Duping, who only had the cultivation of the Hollow Profound Realm, was the weakest among a group of Spirit Condensation Realm Individual Cultivators. He was aware enough to immediately pilot the Red Rosy Clouds Boat and fly away.

"We are willing to join the fight!"

"Mr. Zhou, we have the cultivation of the Spirit Condensation Realm and want to take the risk to take a look!"

"Please allow us, Mr. Zhou!"

Led by Wu Xuanfeng, the anxious Spirit Condensation Realm Great Cultivators were hopping up and down on the Red Rosy Clouds Boat, their faces red and voices raised in agitation.

Zhou Qingchen looked at Pang Jian: "What do you think..."

"This trip is different from the previous situations; many will die," Pang sternly said.

Wu Xuanfeng shouted, "We are not afraid!"

"Fine."

Pang Jian nodded, and the Red Rosy Clouds Boat came flying over, carrying a few fearless Spirit Condensation Realm Individual Cultivators, who turned into rainbows of light as they landed on the Sword Boat.

A few others, unwilling to risk the adventure, shrank back and did not move on the Red Rosy Clouds Boat.

Soon, the Sword Boat and the Red Rosy Clouds Boat took different paths, one returning to the Auspicious Light Fragment Land, the other heading toward the Brocade Cloud Fragment Land.

A moment later.

"Boom!"

As soon as the Sword Boat entered the airspace of the Fragment Land, it saw a Landscape Spiritual Boat from Sky Water Swamp being dragged to the ground by numerous huge Ice Rocs and crashing down.

The Landscape Spiritual Boat, in a blink of an eye, became wreckage scattered on the ground.

The Cultivators from Sky Water Swamp and the powerful families that relied on it were immediately surrounded and attacked by the Ice Roc pack, with a few being torn into pieces alive by their sharp claws.

"My God!"

Wu Xuanfeng screamed in shock, clearly shaken by the bloody scene in the Fragment Land.

Another ship, the Black Cloud Sail from Black Valley, was shattered by a collision with a Golden Rock Beast, towering tens of meters high and golden in color.

The Golden Rock Beast, with a body as firm as gold and iron, showered sparks under the assault of the disciples from Black Valley.

Yet from its pupils, from the dazzling golden light bursting from its mouth and palms, which were like golden spears, it dealt devastating damage to the Cultivators of the Black Valley, causing heavy death and injury.

The beast’s eyes, originally golden, gradually filled with blood, turning its eyeballs blood red.

"Pop!"

One of its eyeballs suddenly burst.

The golden light that shot out from its body was suddenly mixed with a terrifying blood color, violently increasing its lethality.

"Quick, retreat!"

Qin Xiao, from the Soul Wandering Realm of the Black Valley, struck out with a massive palm imprint that covered acres of void, trying to block the frenzied gold-red beams.

"Woosh! Woosh!"

The huge palm imprints, which bore twisting Alien Power like shadowy whirlpools, instead of pressing down on the Golden Rock Beast, provoked its most ferocious side.

Roaring, the beast unleashed endless gold light mixed with blood, bombarding each of the palm imprints.

Amid its roar, the Golden Rock Beast’s bones shattered, and its heart suddenly exploded, blasting a huge hole in its chest cavity.

However, the blood-colored golden light also blasted the spell-casting Qin Xiao to death mid-air, turning many massive palm imprints into broken light.

"Brother Qin!"

"Qin Xiao is dead!"

"To think that a mid-stage Soul Wandering practitioner could be killed in a fight with a Golden Rock Beast!"

In the various battlefields of the Brocade Cloud Fragment Land, cries of grief and shock resounded.

"To die so easily in the Soul Wandering Realm, we’ve never encountered such savage Ferocious Beasts before!"

A female Spirit Condensation Realm mid-stage Individual Cultivator on the Sword Boat felt a chill rush from the soles of her feet to her head. When she looked around, she saw Human Cultivators being slaughtered by the beast packs.

And this was nothing like any battle she had experienced before.

They had always been the ones chasing down Alien Tribes and Ferocious Beasts, destroying their primitive and simple ships.

She couldn’t imagine that one day, Human Cultivators like her would become lambs to the slaughter under the claws of Ferocious Beasts.

"Brother Duan!"

"Junior Wang!"

Similar cries of pain frequently came from various Sect forces, mourning for their deceased companions.

"You shouldn’t have followed."

Zhou Qingchen dropped this sentence and summoned several Long Blades, taking the lead to jump from the Sword Boat.

He chose to be the first to join the battle.

"Pang Brother, can we still go back?" the female Individual Cultivator urgently asked.

"You may try to return, but the Sword Boat won’t."

With those words, the Sword Boat suddenly plunged, dropping all the Individual Cultivators at Zhou Qingchen’s location.

When the Sword Boat rose again into the sky, only Pang Jian was left on it.

He looked toward the highest mountain in the Brocade Cloud Fragment Land, gazing at a stream extending from the mountain peak and coldly said, "The source is inside the mountain."

Ignoring the chaotic battles in the Fragment Land, he drove the Sword Boat to howl through the sky, heading straight for the snow-covered mountain.
