Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

"Enemy attack..."

Yu Changsheng frowned, secretly observing with his divine sense. Outside the flying boat, there were about eight people standing outside the protective array. Each of them wore a black robe to cover their faces and further blocked the detection of divine sense. However, the aura emanating from them made Yu Changsheng secretly startled.

Among the eight, the one with the lowest cultivation level was still in the late Golden Core stage, while the one who made Yu Changsheng wary was the one in the front position. The power he unleashed surpassed that of the Golden Core stage and reached the Purple Mansion stage.

At this moment, the eight people stood outside the protective shield of the flying boat. One spell after another fell, and each time it hit, it caused the flying boat to shake. They also attacked according to specific formations, making their power even greater.

On the deck, Ruan Hao and Lu Ruikai had grim faces, so dark they looked like they could drip water. They stared intently at the people outside the airship, their hand gestures constantly changing as they controlled the stability of the airship and maintained the protective array.

"Who are you? How dare you intercept the Myriad Manifestations Sect's group? Aren't you afraid of future retaliation?"

Ruan Hao's face was extremely grim, but he remained calm. He stomped his foot hard on the deck, causing the swaying airship to shake and barely stabilize itself.

"Hehe, since we've already done it, we're naturally not afraid of your retaliation. Besides, what are you, the Myriad Manifestations Sect, anyway?"

Outside the protective shield, the leader, the Purple Mansion cultivator, spoke in a deep voice, his tone carrying a hint of contempt and mockery. He pointed his finger at the protective shield, and a violent black light appeared. As the Purple Mansion's aura surged, it fiercely stabbed at the protective shield. In an instant, the protective shield trembled. Under this attack, ripples spread outwards, like a large stone falling onto a calm water surface, seemingly about to shatter.

Ruan Hao and Lu Ruikai's expressions changed, and they quickly cast spells to stabilize the formation. Looking at the eight people outside the flying boat, their eyes were filled with resentment and confusion.

"What arrogance! Our Myriad Manifestations Sect has no enmity with you. Who on earth dares to be so bold?"

Ruan Hao roared, his tiger's mouth trembled, and he bit his tongue, spitting out a bit of scarlet blood that scattered into specks of red light, spreading upwards along the outermost protective array.

"You obey orders and do things for others; today, you will perish here. Will you resist to the bitter end?"

The man in the black robe spoke softly, his voice hoarse like an old man's, exuding boundless chill. His exposed eyes gleamed with a crimson light. He turned to look at the seven people on his body and nodded slightly to them.

"Don't drag this out, it's disadvantageous for us. Let's finish this quickly and with all our might!"

"good!"

The seven nodded in unison, their voices equally hoarse and cold. With a flick of their wrists, which were visible beneath their black robes, they lightly traced a line across their wrists with their fingers. The movements were perfectly synchronized, as if they had rehearsed countless times. Instantly, drops of blood dripped from their wrists, carrying a strange power as they intertwined and swirled toward the sky. Suddenly, a violent burst of blood light erupted.

"Chirp!"

The light faded in the next instant, and the seven figures disappeared. In their place stood a blood-red bird, several tens of feet long, with a slender body and a blood-red body. It let out a soft cry, its voice piercing through metal and stone, resounding through the sky, and it suddenly exploded with a strong divine soul attack.

The figure of the black-robed Purple Mansion cultivator stood coldly atop the head of the blood-red Xuan Bird, coldly watching Ruan Hao and Lu Ruikai inside the flying boat.

"This is……"

Yu Changsheng was stunned when he saw the enormous creature that had suddenly appeared. He was familiar with this thing and had even fought against it before.

Isn't that the same blood-red Xuan Bird combined attack formation that erupted when the Linglong Sect and the Dark Current people besieged the Wanxiang Sect's stronghold?

However, the current one, in terms of both size and power, far surpasses the previous blood-red black bird; the two are incomparable.

Yu Changsheng clearly remembered that Zhao Xiaodong had specifically mentioned this thing. It seemed to be a secret, closely guarded formation used by the Qingzhou military…

Unexpectedly, I saw it here again, and in this same way.

However, Ruan Hao was far more knowledgeable than most. The moment the crimson bird appeared, he recognized it. His expression immediately changed, his face darkening. Pointing at the black-robed man in purple robes, he spoke with anger:

"The Crimson Black Bird Combined Attack Formation... Are you from the Qingzhou military?"

"These men from the Qingzhou military have dared to infiltrate my Wuzhou territory without authorization! Do they really think Wuzhou is invincible? Are they courting death?!"

Upon hearing this, the black-robed cultivator from the Purple Mansion realm chuckled lightly, his tone smug and even more contemptuous: "Interesting. Right now, your Martial Continent is barely able to protect itself, and its strongest warriors are all heading to the border. In your opinion, where is the advantage in the current situation?"

Lu Ruikai pursed his lips, gritted his teeth slightly, and stared intently at the Purple Mansion cultivator. A bead of sweat quietly dripped from his forehead.

"Let's do it!"

The cultivator from the Purple Mansion whispered a cry and lightly stepped on the crimson bird. In an instant, the crimson bird's massive body stretched out, blotting out the sky and the sun. A surge of crimson light erupted at the same time, and its long beak, gleaming with a cold, red light, fiercely pecked down at the protective shield of the flying boat!

With this peck, the void shattered, a storm swept through, and a sonic boom resounded endlessly. All the power of the blood-red bird was unleashed under this peck.

"Click..."

Like an arrow piercing the light, it was indestructible. As the black bird approached, in an instant, ripples spread across the protective shield of the flying boat, and a large hole quickly appeared where it was broken, with cracks spreading outwards.

Boom...

The airship began to shake violently and became very unstable.

"not good!"

Ruan Hao roared, his face turning pale in an instant. He spat out a mouthful of blood, staggered, and nearly fell to the ground. His eyes turned bloodshot as he cast spells on the protective shield to stop the cracks from spreading.

"Hehehe, continue."

The cultivator from the Purple Mansion sneered, not idle either. Suddenly delighted, he unleashed a powerful blast at the protective shield with immense force in his hand!

The crimson black bird's eyes flashed with ferocity. Its sharp claws slashed fiercely, a tearing sound echoing, and its beak stabbed again!

Tear!

The protective shield's light dimmed, and Ruan Hao and Lu Ruikai looked unwilling. The next moment, with a crack, the protective shield exploded, and a violent aftershock shook the entire airship.

"Be careful!"

Lu Ruikai roared and hurriedly tried to defend himself. The Purple Mansion cultivator's eyes flashed with a sharp light. He reached out and pressed down on the sky. A giant sword, hundreds of feet long and entirely blue, suddenly fell. Its target was not Ruan Hao and Lu Ruikai, but rather the entire flying boat.

The power of the Purple Palace was displayed to its fullest extent!

"Destroy!"

Boom!

The next moment, Yu Changsheng, who was hiding in the cabin, frowned. Ripples spread out in front of him. While resisting the aftershocks, the entire flying boat suddenly shook. Under this attack, all the remaining protective formations were completely shattered, and finally, with a loud bang, it suddenly disintegrated!

"What's going on?!"

"The airship... it's shattered?!"

One by one, the exposed disciples of the Myriad Manifestations Sect gasped in shock, their faces filled with disbelief and panic. They quickly steadied themselves, staring at the enormous shadow of the blood-red Xuan Bird, their bodies trembling uncontrollably under its terrifying power.

"Disciples, protect yourselves, let's go!"

Seeing this, Lu Ruikai roared, bloodshot eyes appearing, and the aura of a peak Golden Core cultivator rose steadily. Facing the blood-red Xuan Bird, he stood up and suddenly threw a punch to block its advance.

Even if Lu Ruikai hadn't said anything, these Wanxiang Sect disciples weren't fools. Seeing the symptoms, they scattered like birds and beasts, flying off in different directions.

Most of these disciples were at the Foundation Establishment stage, and there were only a few at the Golden Core stage, all of whom were in the early stages. For them to want to help Lu Ruikai fight against the enemy was nothing short of wishful thinking; it would only be an act of suicide.

Therefore, protecting yourself is the top priority, so as not to hold others back.

Lu Ruikai was well aware that most of the geniuses and outstanding talents of the Wanxiang Sect were here. These people were the future pillars of the sect, and the consequences of losing them would be too great for him to accept.

Therefore, they could only withstand the pressure and continue to fight against the blood-red black bird.

The combined attack of the seven Golden Core cultivators—four at the peak of the Golden Core stage and three at the late stage—was, in a sense, not much different from that of the Purple Mansion stage.

Fortunately, Lu Ruikai, as the leader of a sect, possessed a true combat strength that was far beyond that of ordinary Golden Core cultivators. For a time, the two were evenly matched and it was difficult to determine who would win.

As for Ruan Hao, he naturally encountered that Purple Mansion cultivator. In the midst of their constant entanglement, he also secretly sent messages, waiting for assistance.

Rumble!

When a Purple Mansion cultivator makes a move, the battle at this level is beyond what Yu Changsheng can currently comprehend. Moreover, Ruan Hao and the assassin are not ordinary Purple Mansion cultivators. Every strike they make causes the heavens and earth to change color and the wind and clouds to shift.

However, the aftershocks were well controlled and did not spread outwards, demonstrating that both sides had extremely precise control over their forces.

"The Battle of the Purple Mansion..."

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

Yu Changsheng took a deep breath, glanced at the scene, and then randomly chose a direction, speeding away across the void.

The battle before him was no longer something he could participate in.

"Don't forget our goal this time! Go for it!"

As Yu Changsheng sped away, the black-robed Zi Fu, who was fighting Ruan Hao in the sky, frowned slightly. He punched back the bird and roared at the blood-red Xuan Bird below.

"Chirp!"

The crimson bird nodded slightly, its bloodthirsty eyes gleaming. With a flap of its large wings, a flurry of blood-red feathers flashed, filling the void as they shot towards Lu Ruikai.

Lu Ruikai raised an eyebrow, swung his longsword forward, and instantly thousands of sword beams appeared, grinding away the blood feathers one by one. With a flick of his finger, his body slammed into the blood-red bird like a sharp sword being drawn from its sheath.

Click...

The next moment, the crimson bird suddenly collapsed, and the seven Golden Core cultivators reappeared, surrounding Lu Ruikai and exchanging glances.

"I'll hold him off, you guys go after the target and don't let him get away."

One of the seven, a Golden Core Peak cultivator, spoke in a hoarse voice. Before he finished speaking, three of the seven flew out instantly. After finding their direction, they sped off in the direction Yu Changsheng had gone without looking back, bursting into streaks of rainbows in the air.

"Target?"

"Who sent you, and who is your target?"

Lu Ruikai frowned, coldly looking at the four Golden Core cultivators who had surrounded him, and a bad feeling suddenly arose in his heart.

"You don't need to know."

In response, a surge of blood-red light from all directions swept in. The four men shuddered and pointed at Lu Ruikai in unison. In an instant, countless blood-black chains spread from their fingertips, densely packed, sealing off Lu Ruikai's surrounding space.

"Sky-Piercing Strike!"

Lu Ruikai frowned even more deeply, gently exhaling a breath of spiritual energy, which landed on the spirit sword in his hand. In an instant, the spirit sword trembled slightly, and a huge sword aura suddenly erupted, slashing down into the void!

Rip rip rip...

The chains hummed, and the four men groaned, their bodies trembling slightly. However, their expressions became even more ferocious, and with a low growl, they slashed another finger fiercely at Lu Ruikai!

"Certainly!"

……

……

On the other side, Yu Changsheng's expression was not good. He kept rushing forward, his speed so fast that only a blur could be seen.

"Kid, you're pretty fast, but if you get away, we'll be in trouble."

Behind him, the sinister voices of the three Golden Core cultivators who were pursuing him echoed. Their figures transformed into three swirling beams of azure light using a strange secret technique, rapidly approaching Yu Changsheng.

"Is it aimed at me...?"

Yu Changsheng gritted his teeth, his face grim, and spread his divine sense to sense the three people behind him, understanding the situation.

"Two peak Golden Core cultivators and one late Golden Core cultivator... They really think highly of me! And they even know a strange combined attack technique..."

In the blink of an eye, Yu Changsheng was not slow, but he was a step slower than the three people chasing after him.

"This guy... wasn't he only at the peak of Foundation Establishment? The speed he's unleashed is something we might not be able to catch up to if it weren't for the talisman treasures we have."

Behind them, the three people closely following Yu Changsheng were even more surprised. As they watched Yu Changsheng's approaching figure, murderous intent flashed in their eyes.

Among the three, the two with the highest cultivation levels were at the peak of the Golden Core stage, one named Chen Feng and the other named Cheng Tao. As for the one at the late stage of the Golden Core stage, he was named Wu Huan.

"Fine, it doesn't matter if the intelligence was flawed. This time we're prepared to be absolutely certain, and we can't afford to fail. The general can hold off Ruan Hao and Lu Ruikai, but we can't delay any longer. We need to finish this quickly!"

As Chen Feng flew, he gave instructions to the two people beside him.

"Alright, we've already set up a tight net on the way back to the Myriad Manifestations Sect. Even if Yu Changsheng tries to escape, he'll have nowhere to go. Don't worry."

Wu Huan and Cheng Tao nodded in silence. The three of them exchanged a few words and then moved even faster. They pressed each other's palms together and gently clapped them. As a result, streaks of blood-red threads spread out, surrounding the three of them and continuing to spread far and wide.

The three of them turned pale and bit their tongues in unison, dripping blood onto the crimson threads. In an instant, light flashed, and the three figures vanished from their original positions. When they reappeared, they were already dozens of miles ahead. With the constant flashing, the distance between them and Yu Changsheng was rapidly shrinking.

"Teleportation?"

Yu Changsheng noticed the movement behind him, his pupils contracted slightly, and he suddenly stopped. Blood-red threads spread through the void in front of him, and the figures of the three suddenly appeared.

"Caught up with you. You're running pretty fast, aren't you? Are you rushing to find your own grave?" (End of Chapter)
