Chapter 547 (1/2)

Chapter 547: 547

The Ironwing Horned Eagle spread its half-a-mile-wide wings . Its wings were like heaven-splitting blades that crashed down upon Mu Xue .

Because its body was so huge, Mu Xue truly appeared like an ant in front of it .

However, one thing that put Long Chen at ease was that the Ironwing Horned Eagle was still at the early Xiantian realm and had yet to advance .

Furthermore, although it had reached the Xiantian realm, its bloodline wasn’t pure . The bloodline its ancestor had left behind for it was becoming thin, and perhaps this Ironwing Eagle’s descendants would find it difficult just to reach the Xiantian realm .

A Magical Beast’s bloodline inheritance was even more important than a human’s . However, their bloodline inheritance wasn’t endless . If a hundred generations pa.s.sed without another descendant reaching the same bloodline purity as its ancestor, then after those hundred generations, the bloodline would drop by one rank .

After another hundred generations without the pure bloodline reappearing, then it would drop another rank, all the way until the race was cruelly washed out by nature’s rules .

As for this Ironwing Eagle, its bloodline was already extremely impure . However, in terms of true fighting strength, it was much stronger than the Hidden Ground Spider which didn’t specialize in attacking .

Mu Xue was circulating her Xiantian power in preparation to receive the Ironwing Eagle . Although she had only just advanced, she had been stuck at the half-step Xiantian realm for almost two years . She definitely had some control over Xiantian power . Now that she had finally advanced, she was much stronger than an average person who had just advanced .

“There’s no need to face it head-on in the first exchange!” shouted Long Chen .

The Ironwing Eagle’s immense body was charging forward . Was there a point to taking that much force head-on?

Mu Xue hastily dashed out of the way, appearing hundreds of meters away in an instant .

BOOM!

The Ironwing Eagle’s huge body crashed into the ground, and the land within hundreds of miles rocked along with it .

Mu Xue couldn’t help being startled . That impact was shockingly great, and if she had really faced it head-on, she would definitely be injured .

She felt admiration for Long Chen’s vision . He had instantly seen through its strength . But she was unaware that after being with Meng Qi for so long, Long Chen had learned a great deal pertaining to Magical Beasts . He naturally had a greater ability to judge a Magical Beast’s power than most .

Long Chen had felt that Mu Xue might not necessarily lose in terms of power, but there was a risk she would be injured . There was no need to take that risk .

As the Ironwing Eagle climbed up from the ground, Mu Xue’s sword slashed down . Sword Qi powered by Xiantian power split through the void .

Bang!

The Sword Qi exploded upon the Ironwing Eagle’s body, and it was sent tumbling back, feathers flying off its body .

The distant mercenaries cheered upon seeing that . Mu Xue’s attack was actually able to send a Xiantian Magical Beast tumbling back . She was truly mighty .

But Long Chen’s mouth twitched . This kind of intelligence was almost worrying . She had spread her Sword Qi so widely that it was unable to cause any real injuries . It might look impressive, but what use did that have?

But then looking at the feathers on the ground, he instantly realized it had one use: it had a feather’s use .

If it was Long Chen, he definitely wouldn’t have scattered his power but concentrated all his might to stab through the side of the Ironwing Eagle .

Its feathers there were as strong as the ones on its back . With Mu Xue’s Xiantian power, she would have been able to create a deep cut there . Although it might not be considered a heavy injury, it would at least count as an injury .

But at this time, Long Chen chose to keep his mouth shut . After all, each cultivator had their own choices, and there was no such thing as being absolutely right or absolutely wrong . He wouldn’t vainly give directions .

The Ironwing Eagle let out a furious bird cry, and a huge wing slammed towards Mu Xue .

BOOM! Mu Xue’s sword slashed onto its wing, but she was unable to block its explosive power and was blown back .

However, the Ironwing Eagle was also forced back slightly by Mu Xue’s Xiantian power . That was the most terrifying aspect of Xiantian power .

Houtian power referred to a person circulating their energy within the body . But Xiantian power referred to using the Xiantian spiritual qi inside your body to control the natural energy around you to attack . The two of them were qualitatively different .

“It’s about to use a powerful move!” Long Chen suddenly shouted .

He had only just said that when the Ironwing Eagle’s forehead shot out a red ray of light at Mu Xue .

Mu Xue hastily dodged to the side . The red ray brushed right past her body .

BOOM!

The light pierced directly through a distant mountain . A hole dozens of meters wide was blown into it .

“It has given birth to a crystal bone!” Mu Xue was startled .

A Xiantian Magical Beast had a certain chance of being able to merge their crystal core into a bone . Once they were merged, they would imprint their strongest attack into that bone . That was the so-called crystal bone .

One requirement for a Magical Beast to give birth to a crystal bone was that its ancestor had to have been powerful . It required a powerful rune to exist within their bloodline .

The fact that this Ironwing Horned Eagle was able to condense a crystal bone meant that its bloodline was not ordinary . However, that bloodline had declined by its generation .
