Beast Taming Immortal Clan

Chapter 264 First Battle Lost [Please Subscribe]

Is there such a good thing?

Inside the Zhou family stronghold, Li Qinghe, You Liming, and Zhou Daoyi were all stunned after hearing Su Renmei's so-called solution.

They had considered using a contest of magical arts to determine how the mystic crystal mine would be divided.

However, in their minds, if it were to be a real contest of magic, it should be one or several battles between cultivators at the Purple Mansion stage from both sides.

Unexpectedly, Su Renmei suggested that Foundation Establishment cultivators compete in a battle to determine the profit-sharing method.

"Alright, let's do as Fellow Daoist Su says!"

After a moment of hesitation, Zhou Daoyi immediately nodded and agreed.

Li Qinghe and You Liming immediately agreed.

Seeing that they all agreed, Su Renmei immediately stood up and said, "Then let's settle this in the wilderness in half a month!"

After saying that, he turned and left the Zhou family stronghold.

After sending Su Renmei out of the stronghold and back to their original location, the leaders of the three families looked at each other, all appearing hesitant to speak.

"Fellow Daoist Li, please speak first."

Zhou Daoyi paused for a moment, then gestured for Li Qinghe to speak first.

"In that case, let me share my thoughts!"

As Li Qinghe spoke, his expression turned grave. "Our three families all made an appearance at the Hundred Clans Conference. The Su family should know their own strength!"

"Therefore, Su Renmei's words today may not be so simple. Perhaps the Su family really does have other trump cards up their sleeves!"

After he finished speaking, You Liming chimed in, "I share the same view. Ever since the Su family of Jiangzhou produced a Golden Core cultivator, they have produced many outstanding talents. Perhaps they really do have a few powerful Foundation Establishment cultivators hidden away."

Hearing their words, Zhou Daoyi frowned and said, "The Su family of Jiangzhou is indeed very powerful, but the Li and You families are not bad either. Even before I opened my Purple Mansion, with the help of a second-tier high-grade demonic beast, I wouldn't dare say I could easily defeat Fellow Daoist Li Cunhao and Fellow Daoist You Jinyan!"

The two people he mentioned were both once highly renowned genius cultivators from the Li and You families.

Like Zhou Chun, both of them successfully cultivated top-tier techniques and have now reached the late Foundation Establishment stage.

In terms of strength alone, these two may not be inferior to the elite disciples of the major sects like Qinglian Temple.

On the Zhou family's side, Zhou Chun, who is at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, is so powerful that few in the Foundation Establishment stage would dare to claim they could defeat him with the help of his two second-tier demonic beast pets.

In Zhou Daoyi's mind, there was no way they could lose.

Upon hearing Zhou Daoyi mention his family's outstanding younger generation, Li Qinghe and You Liming both relaxed and smiled faintly.

Li Qinghe nodded slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Zhou is right. The Su family is indeed powerful, but we are not to be trifled with either!"

Yu Liming further stated, "The Su family only achieved their current status by relying on the Moon Wheel Sect. How can they compare to the three families with their long and rich heritage? This time, let them witness the true foundation of a Golden Core clan with a thousand-year history!"

"Haha, then I'll wait and see."

Zhou Daoyi laughed heartily and then praised both families a few more times.

After agreeing on the terms, Li Qinghe and You Liming went back to their respective families to recruit people.

The Zhou family, on the other hand, remained at the stronghold and waited.

Half a month is not a long time. Soon, the people from the Li family and the You family who participated in the magic competition arrived at the pioneering base. The Su family also sent someone to deliver the location of the magic competition.

After verifying the location, the three families headed to the scene.

After flying out of their base and heading east for more than a hundred miles, they arrived at a flat, open field.

The wilderness was overgrown with weeds, the grass taller than a person, and many wild animals such as cattle and horses lived there.

The Su family had already arrived by then.

Zhou Chun looked up from the group and saw that Su Renmei had been accompanied by five Su family cultivators, all of whom were Foundation Establishment stage cultivators.

Among these five people, three were at the late Foundation Establishment stage, and one of them was a woman.

"Fellow Daoist Su, we have brought our people here. May I ask how your Su family plans to compete today?"

Li Qinghe leaped forward, gazing at Su Renmei and her group of six several miles ahead, and asked them in a low voice about their plans.

Upon hearing this, Su Renmei immediately said loudly, "It's very simple. All three cultivators from our Su family are here. You can choose any one of them as your opponent."

He then had the three late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators step forward.

Seeing this, Li Qinghe glanced back at You Liming and Zhou Daoyi, then nodded to Li Cunhao, the late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator sent by the Li family to participate in the martial arts competition, and said, "Cunhao, you can go first for the first match!"

Upon hearing this, the robust and resolute-looking Li Cunhao immediately replied in a deep voice, "This junior obeys."

Then he flew forward, his gaze sweeping over the three members of the Su family. He casually pointed at one of the white-haired elders and said, "Li Cunhao of the Li family, please enlighten me, fellow Daoist."

Upon seeing this, the white-haired elder immediately flew forward and said in a deep voice, "Su Maocai of the Su family, I'd like to learn from your superior skills, fellow Daoist."

After exchanging names, the two flew towards the wilderness, far away from the rest of their families, and flew for more than ten miles before hovering in mid-air, several miles apart.

"please!"

"please!"

In mid-air, the two said "please" to each other and then made their move instantly.

Li Cunhao made a hand seal, and a ball of purplish-red flames burst forth from his body, forming a protective shield that resembled burning flames.

Meanwhile, Su Maocai was also enveloped in a yellow light, which instantly formed a thick and tight yellow armor that protected him.

Almost simultaneously, the two reached out and patted their storage pouches, unleashing their signature magical artifacts.

A flash of crimson light appeared on Li Cunhao's side, and a crimson flying sword, curved like a snake, shot towards his opponent, spitting out flames.

But Su Maocai on the other side was not slow at all. In the blink of an eye, he was wielding a golden short halberd magic weapon and the Crimson Serpent Sword to fight each other in mid-air.

Seeing this, neither of them stopped moving. Li Cunhao immediately took out a fiery red banner magic weapon. He held the seven-foot-long banner with one hand and waved it forcefully. The fiery red dragon patterned on the banner seemed to come alive, baring its fangs and claws and spitting out more than a dozen fireballs the size of millstones, which bombarded the opponent.

Meanwhile, Su Maocai raised his hand and wiped his storage bag, and a yellowish-brown pottery jar appeared in his hand.

He summoned the jar in his hand, and a burst of yellow light gushed out from it, transforming directly into the phantom of a yellowish-brown toad.

The toad phantom opened its mouth and inhaled, swallowing in one gulp the dozen or so fireballs that were being fired at Su Maocai.

What's truly astonishing is that those fireballs, which should have been extremely easy to detonate, were all undetonated by Li Cunhao.

The toad phantom that swallowed the fireball only appeared slightly fainter.

This scene caused Li Cunhao's expression to change slightly. He then let out a cold snort, threw the banner in his hand into the air, and made hand seals to maximize the power of the magic weapon.

Suddenly, accompanied by a clear and melodious dragon's roar, a dazzling burst of firelight erupted from the banner, gradually transforming into a fiery dragon several meters long.

"go!"

With a shout from Li Cunhao, the fiery dragon immediately transformed into a streak of crimson fire and shot towards the toad phantom.

Upon seeing this, Su Maocai also let out a low shout, maximizing the power of the pottery jar magic artifact. A new yellow glow landed on the toad phantom, making its form even more solid.

As the fiery dragon approached, the toad phantom opened its mouth again and sucked the fiery dragon into its own large mouth.

However, Li Cunhao, through the connection between his magic weapon and the fire dragon, managed to force the fire dragon to explode inside its large mouth.

Boom!

A burst of intense fire erupted from the sky, and the fiery dragon used its self-destruction to take the toad phantom with it to destruction as well. Both of them vanished into thin air at the same time.

Meanwhile, Li Cunhao opened his mouth and spat out a ball of purplish-red flames, which transformed into a flaming spear that shot towards Su Maocai.

But Su Maocai was no ordinary man either. At this moment, he opened his mouth and spat out a ball of earthy yellow light, which condensed into a barrier in front of him.

The purple flame spear plunged into the barrier formed by the condensed rosy light, just like a spear piercing into a quagmire; it quickly became stuck and could not advance an inch.

Upon seeing this, Li Cunhao immediately had a thought and scattered his spear, which transformed into raging flames.

The crimson flames burned fiercely and quickly took effect, causing the radiant barrier to gradually become blurred under their burning.

But at that moment, Su Maocai raised his hand and patted the storage bag at his waist, summoning a magic artifact shaped like a mountain peak with a pointed top and a round bottom.

The palm-sized, mountain-shaped magical artifact spun rapidly in mid-air, emitting a bluish-black glow, and its size expanded dramatically.

Eventually, this object transformed in mid-air into a giant rock mountain, several dozen feet high and four or five feet in diameter at the base.

This giant rocky mountain is entirely covered in a bluish-black glow, appearing suspended hundreds of feet in the air like a suspended mountain.

Then Su Maocai gently raised his hand and pointed at Li Cunhao, and the giant rock peak crashed into him from the sky.

The giant rock peak wasn't flying very fast, but it put immense pressure on Li Cunhao.

His eyes widened as he stared at the giant rock mountain, his hands rapidly forming hand seals. Soon, crimson flames gathered in his hands, eventually transforming into a crimson fiery lion that lunged at the crashing rock mountain.

Rumble!

The fiery lion crashed into the giant rock peak, triggering a violent explosion.

However, the giant rock peak was only blasted dozens of feet away, its volume reduced by less than a third, and then, under Su Maocai's command, it crashed into Li Cunhao again.

Upon seeing this, Li Cunhao's expression changed drastically. He hurriedly withdrew and retreated, no longer daring to confront the giant rock mountain head-on.

But he had only retreated a short distance when Su Maocai had already completed the casting of some kind of spell, and raised his hand to send out a grayish-yellow spiritual light towards him.

Because his attention was focused on the giant rock peak, by the time Li Cunhao noticed the grayish-yellow spiritual light, it was too late to avoid it.

The grayish-yellow spiritual light landed on his protective flame shield, but it seemed to pass through the shield easily and landed on him without any hindrance.

Suddenly, Li Cunhao felt his body sink, as if he were carrying a mountain on his back, and he almost fell off the ground.

Then he watched helplessly as the giant rock peak got closer and closer to him, and he could no longer rely on speed to shake it off!

"We surrender!"

Just as the giant rock peak was about to collide with Li Cunhao, Li Qinghe, with a grim expression, spoke words of surrender on Li Cunhao's behalf.

He didn't want the rising star of the Li family to perish here.

Moreover, while speaking, he had already stepped in to protect Li Cunhao, preventing Su Maocai from losing control of his strength and injuring Li Cunhao.

However, he underestimated Su Maocai, because the moment Su Maocai finished speaking, he stopped the boulder less than ten feet away from Li Cunhao, demonstrating excellent control.
