After dusk, the entire world fell into a deep slumber. In the distance, one could see a majestic stone city between the lofty mountains and precipitous ridges. The outer perimeter of the stone city was filled with huge piles of white beast bones. There were Ancient Jiang barbarians that were more than three meters tall. They wore armor and carried weapons in their hands as they guarded the stone city.
The stone city was crude, and the city walls were tall. In the center of the city, there was an altar that was 770 feet tall. Outside the city, one could see a waterfall of blood flowing down from the altar. It gave off a primitive and wild aura.
This was one of the barbarian cities of the Heaven Witchcraft Division, Sin Corner.
Shi Zhenxiang carried a thick beast bone while sitting on the back of a vigorous qilin. His body was covered in bloody beast bones. Feng Feiyun's weapon essence was too sharp and could pierce through his skin. He felt threatened, so he carried more than twenty spirit beast bones on his back to defend against the weapon essence.
It was late and the wind was blowing outside the city.
Shi Zhenxiang waited for a long time but didn't see Feng Feiyun and the fifty soldiers. Right when he was getting impatient, a group of armored Jiang warriors riding qilins rushed back. Their hooves crushed the stones on the road. There were more than thirty of them and they stopped in front of Shi Zhenxiang.
One of them jumped down from the qilin and got down on one knee: "Reporting to the third chief, Feng Feiyun didn't come to Sin Corner. He suddenly turned around three hundred miles away and went east. I'm afraid he's about to cross the Sui River."
"Damn you, Feng Feiyun, you're really cunning. You think you can escape from our Heaven Witchcraft Division's territory?
Golden Tooth, take me to that bastard Feng Feiyun. "Shi Zhenxiang was furious. He felt like he was being played like a monkey.
The golden eagle flew down from the stone city and let out a sonorous cry. Shi Zhenxiang jumped more than twenty meters into the air and landed on the back of the golden eagle. Then, they dashed into the night.
He wanted to hunt down Feng Feiyun alone.
Ancient Jiang had many rivers and mountains, dense forests, and a sparse population. There were dozens of times more ferocious beasts and birds than the Jiangs. Because of this harsh environment, only the Jiangs could survive in this land.
Feng Feiyun naturally knew that he couldn't hide from Shi Zhenxiang after entering Ancient Jiang. However, he had to go through the Heaven Witchcraft Division, so he could only create a diversion and go around Sin Corner.
Under the night sky, the Shenwu Army rushed through the mountains and quickly arrived at the vast Da Yan River. They could hear the sound of the surging water.
"Divine King, all the soldiers here are at grand achievement God Base and can fly. Crossing the river shouldn't be a problem, but what about mounts?" Strategist Mo asked.
At grand achievement God Base, he could fly for a short distance so crossing the river wouldn't be a problem. However, flying all the way to the Heavenly Witchcraft Division would be tiring even with his current cultivation.
Thus, even after crossing the river, they would still need mounts.
Feng Feiyun looked towards the vast night and said: "Abandon the mounts. All soldiers, cross the river first."
The fifty soldiers of the Shenwu Army were the best of the best, so they quickly crossed the river.
A quarter of an hour later, a golden ray appeared in the night. Shi Zhenxiang was riding a golden eagle. He flew through the sky and landed on the bank of the river. There were only qilins and no soldiers. "Feng Feiyun, I want to see how fast you can run now that you don't have a mount."
Shi Zhenxiang stepped back onto the back of the golden eagle and flew towards the other side of the river. But just as he flew to the middle of the river, a blinding white light burst out from the bottom of the river like a white flood dragon rushing out of the water.
"Feng Feiyun, why aren't you running for your life? You still dare to sneak attack me? You're overestimating yourself." Shi Zhenxiang laughed.
He gripped the beast bone in his hand. Spirit runes flowed on the bone and it became gigantic. It was as thick as a white bone pillar and shot down.
However, the white dragon-shaped blade aura that rose from the bottom of the water did not attack him. Instead, it attacked the giant golden eagle that he was riding.
The saber light flashed, and the head of the golden eagle flew off, spraying a large amount of blood. Its huge body also fell straight down. Shi Zhenxiang, who was originally standing on the back of the golden eagle, had a look of fear on his face. He lost his balance and fell into the river with the body of the golden eagle.
"Splash!" Water splashed everywhere along with Shi Zhenxiang's angry curses.
The Jiang cultivated a primitive physique refinement method. The stronger ones could lift a mountain and kill a Giant with one punch. They could jump several thousand meters with one jump, but they couldn't fly.
Thus, Shi Zhenxiang could only fly with the help of the eagle.
Feng Feiyun was taking advantage of this weakness.
"Rawr!"
A muffled roar came from the bottom of the river. Shi Zhenxiang didn't know how to swim, but he still stepped on the bottom of the river and jumped up. He wanted to use brute force to reach the shore.
Fifty soldiers from the Martial Army rushed out. Each of them carried a boulder that weighed hundreds of thousands of pounds. The moment Shi Zhenxiang was about to jump out of the water, all the boulders came crashing down on his head. It was as if they were beating a drowning dog. No one knew if his bones were broken or not.
Mo Chongji was even more ruthless. He pulled out a small mountain and smashed it on Shi Zhenxiang's head, causing him to sink into the water again.
Someone saw Shi Zhenxiang wanting to curse, but he didn't. Instead, he drank several mouthfuls of water.
"Feng Feiyun, you bastard, I won't rest until I kill you!"
Shi Zhenxiang was so infuriated that he roared at the bottom of the lake, raising a wave dozens of meters high. The fierce apes and squirrels in the mountains on both sides of the lake were all woken up from their sleep. They crawled up and looked around.
What welcomed him was a huge iron cudgel. This iron cudgel was like a pillar supporting the sky, with ferocious and terrifying patterns flowing on it. With a roar of tens of thousands of beasts, the cudgel hit the back of Shi Zhenxiang's head. Shi Zhenxiang, who had jumped out of the water, directly rolled his eyes and fell back into the water softly.
Feng Feiyun stood on the shore and held the rod in his hand. He gently stroked it twice and murmured: "Worthy of being a peak third-ranked spirit treasure, so powerful."
This was the Heaven-raising Rod Feng Feiyun took from Prince Hongye. It was a peak third-ranked spirit treasure that used materials to refine a fourth-ranked spirit treasure. However, there was a small mistake during the refinement process. Eight of the one hundred and eight formations carved inside were broken, so it fell to peak third-ranked.
This rod was one of the imperial treasures of the Qian Dynasty. It could be considered the number one weapon under the Dominating Armaments, even more powerful than the Infinite Spirit Ring.
Because of this, Feng Feiyun didn't want to use his weapon essence to refine this rod.
"Wait until the Infinite Spirit Ring becomes a fourth-rank spirit treasure, then I'll refine this rod. After that, the weapon essence's sharpness will double, allowing it to easily break through the defenses of Super Giants."
Feng Feiyun put away the rod. At this time, a soldier got down on one knee and reported: "We can't find Shi Zhenxiang at the bottom of the river, only some traces of blood on the other side. He must have run away while wounded."
Feng Feiyun nodded with a smirk. Shi Zhenxiang was an intermediate Giant. Even if Feng Feiyun had the right time, location, and people, it would still be very difficult to kill him. If a Giant could be killed so easily, then they wouldn't be called Giants.
"Such a loud commotion must have alerted some terrifying beasts. It will be very dangerous at night, so we need to leave this place and find another place to rest."
Feng Feiyun's Myriad Beast Physique allowed him to control and subdue ordinary beasts. However, spirit beasts that had cultivated for more than a thousand years had great intelligence and could even speak. With Feng Feiyun's current cultivation, he couldn't subdue them.
Only the Myriad Beast Physique at an extremely high level would be able to suppress them.
On the morning of the second day, fifty soldiers of the Divine Martial Army rode on the backs of powerful beasts in a thick and ancient coniferous forest.
Some of these beasts had cultivated for seven hundred years while others had cultivated for eight hundred years. There were even beast kings that had cultivated for nine hundred years.
A soldier was extremely excited. He sat on the back of an eight-meter-tall Red Lion and kept stroking its blood-red fur. It was as if he was caressing the back of a supreme beauty. He said: "Wang Lei, oh my, look at this 800 years old Dragon-Headed Blood Lion. It's my mount now, so cool. If we go back to the camp now, even Divine Generals would drool with envy."
At the side, Wang Lei smiled in disdain. He patted the silver centipede he was riding on. The silver centipede had over eighty sharp legs, and it scratched the stones on the ground, producing crackling sounds and large amounts of sparks. He said, "Isn't it just a Dragon-Headed Blood Lion? Look at how cocky you are. Do you know what this Big Brother is riding on?
This is an eight-hundred-year-old Scarlet Flame Silver Centipede. It can spit out flames that can burn a whole mountain.
Haha! "
Bai Ruxue was wearing a white dress with a thin veil swaying in the wind. She was sitting on a White Cloud Magpie that had cultivated for 900 years. This White Cloud Magpie was huge and had wings more than 40 meters long. Its tail was very long, like a phoenix's tail.
These beasts were summoned by Feng Feiyun and then tamed as mounts for the Martial Army. Not only were there Dragon-Head Blood Lions and Scarlet Flame Silver Centipedes, there were also Night Valley Elephants and Great Roc Lizards. These were all beast kings with great offensive power. However, they were like tamed puppies before Feng Feiyun.
The main reason why Feng Feiyun brought fifty soldiers to Ancient Jiang was so that they could control these beast kings. These beasts were the real fighting force that Feng Feiyun wanted.
The combined power of these fifty beasts was definitely comparable to a Giant. Even if Shi Zhenxiang came again, there was no need to fear him.
