Chapter 169

Again?

Using Master Lang’s influence, Chu Shen was easily able to borrow a Mountain Eagle to take him back home. He set out three days later with Master Lang, wanting to arrive early for his parents. Soon, he found himself flying home.

BOOM!

SCREEEE!

The carriage that was mounted on the back of the Mountain Eagle was shaken by the explosion. Master Lang and Chu Shen both calmly exited the carriage, standing on the back of the eagle now. Outside, they both saw a horde of golden scaled birds carrying people on their backs. A large blood-red bird bore a man carrying a giant axe on its head.

This man started to yell at them. “Honored sirs! I am sorry to ask this of you, but the Golden Eagle Sect has fallen on hard times! Since you are flying over our sect, I am afraid you will have to pay the toll!”

Master Lang turned to the driver. “What is this ‘Golden Eagle Sect’ these men are talking about? I’ve never heard of it before.”

The driver shook his head. “I’m afraid there is no sect. Instead, they are a bandit group that travel to and fro while calling themselves this name. Supposedly, the bandit leader wanted to make a sect once, but he liked robbing people too much so he called his gang a sect instead. He is very dangerous and is a Martial Emperor.”

Master Lang nodded. “I see. So essentially, they just want to rob us.” He ignored the man’s level since he hadn’t reached the Nature stage yet. Without it, the man couldn’t challenge him.

Chu Shen grinned. “Well Master Lang, I wanted to show you how I fight. Now is the perfect time, since they have provided us with some targets.”

Master Lang shook his head. “How about I give you a lesson on what my powers are. If there are any left, you can show me your own. Elders first, after all.”

Chu Shen sighed. “Fine master, go ahead.”

Master Lang withdrew his mace from his spatial ring. “I guess it’s time.” Earth Qi covered his body, turning into earthen-colored armor. He tapped his armor. “This is simply condensed Qi to protect myself. By controlling the Qi, I can also fly. It is very taxing on my energy reserves and I have a maximum flight time of around an hour.”

“Also, as I am sure you are aware by now, we must all create domains. There are many domains earth types can have, but I have the mountain element, a rare form of the earth element. If I had the sand element, my domain could be a sandstorm. A normal earth domain might be spikes of rock emerging from the ground. For me though, it is the gravity domain. I use the pressure of mountains to make my opponents heavier.” A faint mountain appeared behind Master Lang.

Master Lang sighed. “Unfortunately, I never had much luck controlling my domain and couldn’t expand it beyond a hundred feet. Otherwise, I may have become a much better fighter.”

The axe-wielding man was too far away to hear them talking. He could, however, see them. Upon seeing Master Lang pull out an axe, he immediately ordered his men to form six arrowhead formations. This was a formation that he had created that allowed them to create the energy projection of a spear. Using this, each formation would be on par with a late-stage Martial Emperor.

It wouldn’t normally have been possible, but each of his men had soulbonded with their Golden Eagle mounts, allowing them to combine their Qi and the beasts’ Qi together. His men were all at the Martial Army stage and their beasts were at the Martial Scholar stage. He had 42 men with eagles and each formation had 7 men in it.
