"Hmph." Chu Xiong gave a light snort. He could even handle that strange fireball, so how could a long sword be placed in his heart?
Zhang Ziqiang could clearly see Chu Xiong's disdain and was infuriated. He was actually looked down upon by a bear, and it was even a fellow who had just recently turned from a wild beast into a low-ranked spirit beast.
He had to get rid of it today!
Zhang Ziqiang's hand moved and a white light wrapped around the flying sword shot up into the sky. Its power was much greater than Lin An and Gu Ruoyun's flying swords.
Chu Xiong's pupils shrank, the same flying sword in different people's hands had completely changed.
He could feel a vicious aura coming from the flying sword!
Danger!
Phew...
Chu Xiong took in a deep breath. After using his two abilities, his spiritual energy consumption was huge. His tall physique could no longer maintain itself and he had recovered to his original height of three meters. The spiritual energy in his body was not even half of its original size.
"Increase!"
Zhang Ziqiang pointed with his finger and the sword turned into a ball of white light. The long sword was covered by the white light and formed a long ball of white light in the air.
Zhang Ziqiang was afraid that the power of the long sword was not enough, so he used his Tao technique to increase the power of the long sword. He was bound to use the long sword in his hand to finish off the black bear.
Otherwise, once the longsword was broken, he would have no other magical equipment to use.
"Go!"
Zhang Ziqiang made a hand sign and the white light flew towards Chu Xiong.
"It's this move again …" Chu Xiong snorted.
This person's attacks were too monotonous.
The Immortal Trapping Rope, fireballs, longswords, and attack methods were all the same.
This was not Zhang Ziqiang's fault. He was only a middle mortal level Daoist Priest, and he had only learned Tao techniques for 20 years. Being able to learn so many Tao techniques was already quite a skill.
After all, other than practicing his Tao techniques and sacred arts, the most important thing for him to do was to cultivate and meditate in order to raise his cultivation. For cultivators, the higher the cultivation, the stronger the cultivator and the longer the lifespan.
According to the rumors, once a person broke through to the mortal body and became a true person, their lifespan would be extended by a hundred times. This was also one of the main reasons why countless mortals wished to become Taoists.
As a result, the most important thing for a Daoist Priest was the level of his cultivation, not the amount of his abilities.
For example, Lin An, sixteen years old, had cultivated for eleven years. He had only learned a few types of Dao arts and spent the rest of his time meditating and cultivating his Qi. He was only a low-level mortal cultivator and was ten years away from becoming a mid-level mortal.
Cultivation is so difficult, who would dare to waste their limited time on mantras and mantras? It was enough to just learn a few tricks!
Chu Xiong had experience dealing with the Immortal Binding Ropes and fireballs, so he didn't panic in the slightest when faced with the white light of the sword. When the white light reached him, he pounced to the side, dodging the long sword's thrust.
Zhang Ziqiang quickly commanded the white light to attack and Chu Xiong easily dodged it.
Chu Xiong had already realized the Taoist's weakness, so he quickly ran towards Zhang Ziqiang's direction.
Zhang Ziqiang didn't seem to see through Black Bear's intention, he pointed his finger at the white light and attacked Chu Xiong again. Facing the white light, Chu Xiong didn't even look as he dodged to the side.
"I've finally been tricked." Zhang Ziqiang's tensed expression loosened, and his hands slightly moved.
"Sword Shadow Technique!" Zhang Ziqiang once again used a mid-level Tao technique.
The sword shadow technique was his ultimate technique. Unless it was absolutely necessary, he definitely would not use it. This was because the amount of spiritual energy he had used up was too great. Even with his mortal body's middle stage strength, once he used it, he would still be completely exhausted.
If Black Bear had not forced him into a corner, he would rather use spells than to exhaust his spiritual energy. After all, it was too dangerous for a Taoist priest to exhaust his spiritual energy in the wilderness!
However, he had no choice now!
The white light in the air shook and turned into balls of light. They were all the same, but much smaller. They all stabbed at Chu Xiong.
"This is bad!" Chu Xiong was shocked. This white light could increase by a lot, this was completely out of his expectations.
For a newly arrived bear like him, there were still many ways to go!
With such a change in the white light, normal spirit creatures would only have the instinct of animals. Apart from being shocked, they could only wait to die. However, Chu Xiong would not just sit there and wait for death. He was a tomb robber, and all sorts of mechanisms would suddenly appear in various tombs. His punches and kicks were already very strong and his reactions were even quicker.
This kind of flat ground flying sword rain...
He was already used to it!
With regards to sudden incidents, Chu Xiong's quick reaction had already become subconscious.
In an instant, the black bear's tall body twisted. Chu Xiong vividly displayed the flexibility of the black bear's body and barely dodged a few rays of white light.
But there were still a few that were not fatal and there was nowhere for him to hide. Chu Xiong clenched his teeth and took it!
It was a good thing that Chu Xiong currently had a Black Bear Spirit Beast's physique. His physique was tall and sturdy, and he could withstand blows and setbacks. With a few more wounds, his movement would not be affected.
Pu pu pu, three white lights penetrated his body. Chu Xiong's expression changed and he tightly clenched his teeth, not saying a single word.
Zhang Ziqiang could not believe what he had just seen. His eyes were wide open.
Black Bear...
How could he be so nimble?
He had thought that the black bear would be turned into a sieve...
As a result, he was only slightly injured.
Ordinary Daoists would not have such skills!
Is this still a black bear?
Chu Xiong repeated and repeated again and again, turning over Zhang Ziqiang's understanding of spirit beasts.
Zhang Ziqiang's mid-grade Dao arts, his strongest attack …
against a three-meter-tall black bear,
The white light only pierced out a few small eyes …
"Stupid Taoist, it's my turn, right?" Chu Xiong breathed heavily, glaring at Zhang Ziqiang and shouted.
Chu Xiong's aura caused Zhang Ziqiang's face to turn pale. With a wave of his hand, the flying sword returned to his head.
At this moment, the flying sword no longer had the white light from before. It had returned to its original state. That mid-level Tao technique had almost dried up all the spiritual energy in Zhang Ziqiang's body. He could no longer bring out the full power of the sword.
This was not because Zhang Ziqiang's mid-tier Tao technique was terrible, it was just that Chu Xiong was too strong. After all, even if Chu Xiong had three bloody holes on his body, if they were placed on a human, they would still be as dead as they could be.
It could only be said that Zhang Ziqiang was unlucky to have met such a difficult black bear like Chu Xiong.
As soon as Chu Xiong finished his roar, he rushed towards Zhang Ziqiang. He did not have the ability to ride his sword in the air.
As soon as Black Bear moved, Zhang Ziqiang immediately became flustered. He really didn't have any good methods to deal with Black Bear now.
Having no good way did not mean he had no way. He could still fight for his life!
In just a split-second, Zhang Ziqiang had made up his mind. He pointed at the sword, and with a swoosh, a bloody wound appeared on his arm.
The body of a cultivator was filled with spirit energy, especially the organs and blood. When many Daoists were in dire straits, they would often release their blood to increase their spiritual energy.
Although his cultivation would drop greatly later on, it was still much better than losing his life.
After the sword was stained with blood, it let out a soft hum and instantly recovered quite a bit of its power.
However, Zhang Ziqiang's face turned even paler. It was obvious that he had reached his limit.
"I'm on the verge of death." Chu Xiong only needed to think for a moment before he understood Zhang Ziqiang's self-mutilation. However, the flying sword could not destroy him with its full power, and the sword now was even less of a threat.
Chu Xiong rushed in front of Zhang Ziqiang, raised his palms and smashed down. Chu Xiong could easily break a tree, not to mention a person!
Zhang Ziqiang did not have enough spiritual energy, but he was quick to react in times of crisis. He grasped the sword in his hand and with a flash, he appeared behind Chu Xiong. He leapt into the air and swept his sword horizontally.
He had actually used a common sword technique!
It turned out that Zhang Ziqiang understood that the power of the flying sword was no longer enough to deal with the black bear, so he strengthened the sharpness of the sword and planned to engage in close combat.
Zhang Ziqiang wanted to rely on the sharpness of his long sword to cut off the bear's head.
If it was a normal black bear spirit beast, it would be very hard for it to defend against Zhang Ziqiang's long sword.
But Chu Xiong was no ordinary bear …
He lowered his head and slapped the bear with his palm. The black bear's arm was much longer than a man's, so he waved it in a large wave.
Zhang Ziqiang was stunned for a moment as he did not expect Xiong to lower his head.
"This …" Zhang Ziqiang was stunned.
A high level spirit beast being this agile was something Zhang Ziqiang could accept, but Chu Xiong was just a low level spirit beast that had just broken through!
Before he could make another move, Black Bear's palm had already swept over.
Zhang Ziqiang turned pale with fright because he had lost all his spiritual energy. He jumped into the air and was completely drained of energy. He could not avoid the bear's paw at all.
"Then I'll chop off your bear paw." Zhang Ziqiang gritted his teeth and said. He raised the longsword in his hand and placed it before him.
He believed that no matter how hard Black Bear's palm was, it would still not be able to withstand the sharpness of the longsword that he had already added strength to.
Chu Xiong acted as if he did not see the long sword, he kept slapping the long sword.
Zhang Ziqiang was overjoyed, and thought to himself: "A bear is a bear, finally I've fallen for my own path."
The corners of his mouth had yet to fully rise before it turned into astonishment.
This was because Chu Xiong's palm did not hit the sword, but instead used two bear fingers to clamp the sharp hook on the sword!
He was like a martial arts expert in the mortal world.
"How is this possible!" Zhang Ziqiang screamed.
After a moment of absent-mindedness, he reacted. Both of his feet landed on the ground, and he hastily drew his sword with both of his hands.
Fighting a bear at such a close distance, even a high level Daoist would die!
He had to hold the sword in his hand!
However, what made him despair was that the sword that was caught by the black bear did not move at all. It could not be pulled out at all.
He was sweating profusely from anxiety as he desperately tried to think of a solution.
How could Chu Xiong give him any time to think of a solution? One of his paw pressed the flying sword down while the other one hit Zhang Ziqiang's head.
Pow!
A middle stage Daoist Priest with a promising future in Gui Yun Sect that Lin An revered was killed by Chu Xiong just like that with a single palm from Chu Xiong …
Hearing the strange noises coming from Chu Xiong, Lin An and Zhang Yuan both looked over.
Dead?
Zhang Ziqiang died?!
An intermediate stage Daoist Priest had died just like that!
Zhang Yuan and Lin An did not expect this at all.
Lin An was stunned for a moment, then he went wild with joy.
Zhang Yuan, on the other hand, was so frightened that his face paled. He stopped the incantation and turned around to run, not even bothering with the longsword in the air.
"Haha, where are you running to?" Lin An, who was being suppressed by Zhang Yuan a moment ago, was startled. He gathered up his spiritual energy and chased after Zhang Yuan with his sword.
Chu Xiong could dodge the long sword because he was a black bear, his body was nimble and his speed was fast. Zhang Yuan did not have Chu Xiong's ability. With just a few steps, the flying knife approached him from behind, it was obvious that he was going to die.
At this critical moment, Zhang Yuan threw out an item and it knocked Lin An's flying sword to the ground. He did not know what Zhang Yuan was throwing out. He clearly did not have a trace of spiritual energy, but he was able to shoot down the flying sword that was infused with spiritual energy.
Following that, Zhang Yuan continued to run away. "Just you wait, the Zhang Clan won't let you off!"
The Zhang Clan was a large clan in the region controlled by the Guiyun Temple, and Zhang Yuan and Zhang Ziqiang were the disciples of this clan. Every ten or so years, there would be disciples of the Zhang Family that would be chosen to cultivate in the Returning Cloud Temple. Over the years, the disciples of the Zhang Family would hold high positions in the sect, and they would have the authority to speak out against them.
Once the Zhang Family found out that Lin An had killed Zhang Ziqiang, Lin An would die.
Although Chu Xiong killed Zhang Ziqiang, but the debt …
He could only blame it on Lin An.
After all, Chu Xiong was Lin An's Blood Pact Spiritual Beast. Chu Xiong was just a black bear …
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
"Hmph." Chu Xiong gave a light snort. He could even handle that strange fireball, so how could a long sword be placed in his heart?
Zhang Ziqiang could clearly see Chu Xiong's disdain and was infuriated. He was actually looked down upon by a bear, and it was even a fellow who had just recently turned from a wild beast into a low-ranked spirit beast.

He could no longer bring out the full power of the sword.This was not because Zhang Ziqiang's mid-tier Tao technique was terrible, it was just that Chu Xiong was too strong. After all, even if Chu Xiong had three bloody holes on his body, if they were placed on a human, they would still be as dead as they could be.It could only be said that Zhang Ziqiang was unlucky to have met such a difficult black bear like Chu Xiong.As soon as Chu Xiong finished his roar, he rushed towards Zhang Ziqiang. He did not have the ability to ride his sword in the air.As soon as Black Bear moved, Zhang Ziqiang immediately became flustered. He really didn't have any good methods to deal with Black Bear now.Having no good way did not mean he had no way. He could still fight for his life!In just a split-second, Zhang Ziqiang had made up his mind. He pointed at the sword, and with a swoosh, a bloody wound appeared on his arm.The body of a cultivator was filled with spirit energy, especially the organs and blood. When many Daoists were in dire straits, they would often release their blood to increase their spiritual energy.Although his cultivation would drop greatly later on, it was still much better than losing his life.After the sword was stained with blood, it let out a soft hum and instantly recovered quite a bit of its power.However, Zhang Ziqiang's face turned even paler. It was obvious that he had reached his limit."I'm on the verge of death." Chu Xiong only needed to think for a moment before he understood Zhang Ziqiang's self-mutilation. However, the flying sword could not destroy him with its full power, and the sword now was even less of a threat.Chu Xiong rushed in front of Zhang Ziqiang, raised his palms and smashed down. Chu Xiong could easily break a tree, not to mention a person!Zhang Ziqiang did not have enough spiritual energy, but he was quick to react in times of crisis. He grasped the sword in his hand and with a flash, he appeared behind Chu Xiong. He leapt into the air and swept his sword horizontally.He had actually used a common sword technique!It turned out that Zhang Ziqiang understood that the power of the flying sword was no longer enough to deal with the black bear, so he strengthened the sharpness of the sword and planned to engage in close combat.Zhang Ziqiang wanted to rely on the sharpness of his long sword to cut off the bear's head.If it was a normal black bear spirit beast, it would be very hard for it to defend against Zhang Ziqiang's long sword.But Chu Xiong was no ordinary bear He lowered his head and slapped the bear with his palm. The black bear's arm was much longer than a man's, so he waved it in a large wave.Zhang Ziqiang was stunned for a moment as he did not expect Xiong to lower his head."This " Zhang Ziqiang was stunned.A high level spirit beast being this agile was something Zhang Ziqiang could accept, but Chu Xiong was just a low level spirit beast that had just broken through!Before he could make another move, Black Bear's palm had already swept over.Zhang Ziqiang turned pale with fright because he had lost all his spiritual energy. He jumped into the air and was completely drained of energy. He could not avoid the bear's paw at all."Then I'll chop off your bear paw." Zhang Ziqiang gritted his teeth and said. He raised the longsword in his hand and placed it before him.He believed that no matter how hard Black Bear's palm was, it would still not be able to withstand the sharpness of the longsword that he had already added strength to.Chu Xiong acted as if he did not see the long sword, he kept slapping the long sword.Zhang Ziqiang was overjoyed, and thought to himself: "A bear is a bear, finally I've fallen for my own path."The corners of his mouth had yet to fully rise before it turned into astonishment.This was because Chu Xiong's palm did not hit the sword, but instead used two bear fingers to clamp the sharp hook on the sword!He was like a martial arts expert in the mortal world."How is this possible!" Zhang Ziqiang screamed.After a moment of absent-mindedness, he reacted. Both of his feet landed on the ground, and he hastily drew his sword with both of his hands.Fighting a bear at such a close distance, even a high level Daoist would die!He had to hold the sword in his hand!However, what made him despair was that the sword that was caught by the black bear did not move at all. It could not be pulled out at all.He was sweating profusely from anxiety as he desperately tried to think of a solution.How could Chu Xiong give him any time to think of a solution? One of his paw pressed the flying sword down while the other one hit Zhang Ziqiang's head.Pow!A middle stage Daoist Priest with a promising future in Gui Yun Sect that Lin An revered was killed by Chu Xiong just like that with a single palm from Chu Xiong Hearing the strange noises coming from Chu Xiong, Lin An and Zhang Yuan both looked over.Dead?Zhang Ziqiang died?!An intermediate stage Daoist Priest had died just like that!Zhang Yuan and Lin An did not expect this at all.Lin An was stunned for a moment, then he went wild with joy.Zhang Yuan, on the other hand, was so frightened that his face paled. He stopped the incantation and turned around to run, not even bothering with the longsword in the air."Haha, where are you running to?" Lin An, who was being suppressed by Zhang Yuan a moment ago, was startled. He gathered up his spiritual energy and chased after Zhang Yuan with his sword.Chu Xiong could dodge the long sword because he was a black bear, his body was nimble and his speed was fast. Zhang Yuan did not have Chu Xiong's ability. With just a few steps, the flying knife approached him from behind, it was obvious that he was going to die.At this critical moment, Zhang Yuan threw out an item and it knocked Lin An's flying sword to the ground. He did not know what Zhang Yuan was throwing out. He clearly did not have a trace of spiritual energy, but he was able to shoot down the flying sword that was infused with spiritual energy.Following that, Zhang Yuan continued to run away. "Just you wait, the Zhang Clan won't let you off!"The Zhang Clan was a large clan in the region controlled by the Guiyun Temple, and Zhang Yuan and Zhang Ziqiang were the disciples of this clan. Every ten or so years, there would be disciples of the Zhang Family that would be chosen to cultivate in the Returning Cloud Temple. Over the years, the disciples of the Zhang Family would hold high positions in the sect, and they would have the authority to speak out against them.Once the Zhang Family found out that Lin An had killed Zhang Ziqiang, Lin An would die.Although Chu Xiong killed Zhang Ziqiang, but the debt He could only blame it on Lin An.After all, Chu Xiong was Lin An's Blood Pact Spiritual Beast. Chu Xiong was just a black bear
