Everlasting Chapter 548: Goldwing Tiger (1/2)

“Looks like your Heavenly Sword Faction's name is still effective.” Chen Feng laughed. Seeing the three fellows flee, they did not give chase.

“That's because those three fellows are weaker than us. If they are stronger than us, I believe they wouldn't have cared which sect we are from. They would have simply killed us and plunder our belongings.” Jian Xiaotian shook his head.

“However, the look of fear in their eyes are likely not fake. Are they really afraid that they would die?”

“No need to think so much about it. We shouldn't have allowed them to run away just now. We should have captured them and asked them about the bottomless holes here. There's also the poisonous swamp you mentioned.” Chen Feng began regretting not taking action earlier.

“I think it should be easy to find some people here and ask for directions,” Jian Xiaotian said smilingly.

Next up, the two of them defeated some more bandits and loose cultivators who wanted to prey on others. Slowly, they began feeling less tense about the place. Unbeknown to them, a dangerous net was slowly forming around them.

Within a valley covered in thick vines, teams of cultivators in beast hide armour kept moving back and forth. Cultivators kept lugging in boxes of cultivation materials into the valley. There was also a constant stream of cultivators who would descend from the sky, beautiful female cultivators in their grasp.

“Ha ha ha! w.a.n.g Dapeng, you obtained quite the harvest today! You actually managed to catch a few beauties.”

“Yes. w.a.n.g Dapeng, hurry up and leave two behind. Let us brothers enjoy them.”

“Nonsense! In order to capture these chicks, over 30 of my guys were either killed or wounded. I am now going to the Sixth Manager. There is something I want to report to him.”

“Humph! Boot licker!”

“Running dog!”

After w.a.n.g Dapeng left, some of the men there cursed in hushed tones.

“Eh, why did you fellows come back? Didn't you get sent to patrol the mountains?” Suddenly, the three bandits who were scared off by Jian Xiaotian ran over in a state of panic.

“The three of us nearly died back there!”

“What happened?” Hearing that, the surrounding bandits rushed forward to surround them. Recently, fewer of them had been able to go out. Thus, each and every one of them were feeling terribly vexed.

“We just encountered cultivators from Heavenly Sword Faction!”

“What? Heavenly Sword Faction is here again? They are going overboard. They only lost a few disciples. Do they want to kill off every loose cultivator here in the Twospan Mountain Range?”

“Heh! Even if Heavenly Sword Faction mobilizes all of their forces, they will not be able to wipe out every loose cultivator here. Do not forget, there are experts residing in the Twospan Mountain Range.”

“Enough! Stop making a ruckus. Do not forget how many people Heavenly Sword Faction killed last time. When you think about it, loose cultivators and bandits like us are simply nothing in their eyes.”

“Let's talk about what happened to you fellows first. If Heavenly Sword Faction decides to start killing again, we'll have to rush out and fight them.”

“There are only two of them.”

“What? Just two fellows can scare you fellows until like this? Just look at how much you fellows are gasping.”

“Humph! If I were in your shoes, I would have killed them, destroyed their bodies and hid all the evidence. Without evidence, Heavenly Sword Faction cannot come kill us.”

“Are you an idiot? That's exactly what Heavenly Sword Faction did back then.”

“What are you afraid of? Even if we cannot kill them, we can still rob them. These disciples from great sects must surely have a lot of good items. As long as we do not kill them, the higher-ups from Heavenly Sword Faction will likely not do anything about it.”

“Yes. That makes sense. Let's go check it out. We don't want others to beat us to it now.”

After a chaotic round of discussion, around eight bandits got up and they made their way out the valley. Instantly, some of the older and more mature of the bandits spoke up to stop them.

“Stop it! Have you fellows already forgotten the display of might from Heavenly Sword Faction? It's fine if you fellows want to go crazy, but don't drag our Blackwind Stronghold down with you!”

However, despite their warnings, some of the bandits swiftly left the valley, disappearing from sight before they could do anything about it.

“Sigh! I hope nothing bad happens. You guys, hurry up and haul w.a.n.g San and his gang back. I'll go report this to the Sixth Manager right now.”

…

“Roar!”

A Goldwing Tiger the size of a small mountain descended from the sky. Its broad wings were like sickles forged in the flames of h.e.l.l. Everywhere it went, trees would be sliced down. The resulting strong winds it caused were capable of cracking apart the hard ground. With a flap of its wings, it could even flatten a small mountain.

“Not good! This is a level 7 Great Yao! Why did such a powerful yao beast appear here?”

“As I recall, such a powerful Great Yao should only exist deep within the mountain range. Did we cross over to that territory?”

Sou! Sou!

Two gold-coloured beams of light flashed out to instantly pierce the chests of two cultivators. Like lances, they nailed the two cultivators to the ground.

“Everyone! Hurry up and join forces! Attack!”

A flying sword, s.h.i.+ning with multi-coloured light, flew forward to attack the Goldwing Tiger. However, the Goldwing Tiger did not even attempt to avoid the attack. Instead, it allowed the sword to strike its body, causing sparks to fly out whenever it hit.

Its body was seemingly forged using Mystic Ironsteel. Its defence was as mighty as a mountain, impervious to all weapons. Everywhere it went, cultivators would fall to it. They could not resist it in the slightest.

“Watch me! Hammer of the Thunder G.o.d!”
