Nalan Jingyi and the rest stopped their steps at the same time, and looked towards the direction where Han Yan was looking at, only to see a few leaves falling from the tree, and no one hiding behind. Nalan Jingyi frowned, his face filled with suspicion, and then asked Han Yan: "Big Brother Han Yan, are you sure there's no one there?"
Han Yan's expression did not change as he struggled free of Nalan Jingyi's shoulder and walked forward step by step.
Everyone's gaze all landed on Han Yan's body, they wanted to know who the 'you' Han Yan was referring to was.
After a moment, Han Yan arrived in front of the huge tree and took a deep breath: "I know you are here."
Just as he finished speaking, a gray light flashed in the air, and before everyone could clearly see what it was, there was something in Han Yan's arms. A thought echoed in everyone's minds, "What a fast speed." When they saw the thing in Han Yan's embrace, all of them couldn't help but widen their eyes. Unexpectedly, it was only a gray colored Demonic Beast with small horns.
After being stunned for a while, Nalan Jingyi was the first to react. You ran in front of Han Yan with large strides, and said excitedly: "Wow, what a beautiful Demonic Beast." As he spoke, he moved to touch the Nine-clawed dragon cat's fur.
The Nine-clawed dragon cat growled, raising its tail, it glared at Nalan Jingyi, its attitude extremely unfriendly.
The hand Nalan Jingyi had just extended out, once again shrank back as he said in shock, "This … What kind of Demonic Beast is this? " She could sense that the Demonic Beast in front of her had a very strong aura. If she attacked, the other party would be able to kill her in an instant.
Han Yan's ice-cold gaze grew gentler upon seeing the Nine-clawed dragon cat, and he said. "It's my friend, you can call it …" Speaking to this point, it realized that it had never given the Nine-Headed Dragon Cat a name before.
Nalan Jingyi's eyes moved, and he said: "It's a kitten, right?"
Nalan Hai quickly walked over, and said while walking: "If I'm not wrong, it should be one of the ancient beast."
"Nine-clawed dragon cat?" Nalan Jingyi became curious and asked, "Is the Nine-clawed dragon cat that powerful?"
Nalan Hai smiled slightly and said: "I don't know if Li Jun is powerful, but I know that the Nine-clawed dragon cat are one of the few few. They are powerful existences that can cultivate to the Level 7 demon beast."
"Level Seven... the Demonic Beast. " Nalan Jingyi sucked in a breath of cold air, and looked at Han Yan with eyes filled with envy. Then, she thought of something and said to Han Yan: "Since it's a cat Demonic Beast, why don't we call it a second!"
Hearing that, the Nine-clawed dragon cat glared at Nalan Jingyi, obviously dissatisfied with this name.
Han Yan smiled indifferently, and said: "Since it doesn't count, let me give you one! Hm! You are covered in gray, I will call you Xiao Hui from now on! "
"Meow!" "Meow!" The Nine-clawed dragon cat called out excitedly, as though it liked the name Han Yan gave it.
Nalan Jingyi pouted her small mouth and muttered to herself in a low voice: "What lousy name is this, to be so happy about it. The name that I'm thinking of is even stronger than the one that he gave me."
The Nine-clawed dragon cat ignoring Nalan Jingyi made him very angry. She stomped her feet, not looking at the Nine-clawed dragon cat s.
Han Yan gently caressed the Nine-clawed dragon cat's back, and the latter cried out in delight. Then, Han Yan turned around and said to everyone: "Let's go! "The valley will soon be here."
Everyone travelled through the night, and three days later, they arrived at the front of Mist Valley.
At this time, a loud and clear cry of a crane suddenly rang out in the sky. Following which, a fierce wind blew through the forest, causing sand and rocks to fly everywhere.
The Nine-clawed dragon cat's expression changed, all of its fur stood erect as it looked warily at the sky.
The white light in the sky flashed, and a white bolt of lightning descended from the skies. Without the trees to cover the sky, the blue sky appeared in everyone's line of sight. In the sky, a giant crane hovered there. That crane was completely snow-white and had four wings. Its pair of eyes were red and glaring like rubies.
An old man wearing a grey daoist robe stood on top of the crane. The old man seemed to be in his fifties, he had an ordinary appearance, but his waist was very straight. His robes gently fluttered in the breeze, giving people a feeling as if he was a celestial being. The old man's gaze congealed, and swept past the crowd, and then landed on Han Yan's body. When he saw the Nine Revolving Dragon Cat in Han Yan's arms, his body couldn't help but be startled, and immediately said: "Han Yan, you killed so many of my sect's disciples, are you still thinking of escaping?"
Han Yan's expression was calm, and a huge wave that overflowed the heavens arose in his heart. The moment the old man appeared, Han Yan scanned his body with his divine sense, discovering that the elder's aura was unfathomable, he immediately knew that the other party was Old Monster of Elemental Infant Stage. With Han Yan's current cultivation level, he could easily kill anyone below the Foundation Establishment stage. He could even kill Cultivator In Golden Pill Stage with his Beast Symbol, but towards Expert of Elemental Infant Stage, he did not have much confidence.
The difference in strength between low-level cultivator s was not that great. Once one's cultivation reached the Nascent Soul stage, it would undergo a qualitative change. The qualitative change was that the Spiritual Energy within his body became purer and purer. Every increase in his Spiritual Energy cost him an unimaginable amount of time to cultivate. For example, the difference between the early and middle Foundation Establishment stages is not too great. Even without a powerful magic technique, the early Foundation Establishment stage still has the chance to kill the intermediate stage cultivator.
However, although the difference between a cultivator in the early and middle stages of the Nascent Soul stages was not that great, the truth was that the difference between the two was like heaven and earth. The middle stage of the Nascent Soul Stage could easily kill an early stage cultivator, and it would be extremely difficult for an early stage cultivator to kill a mid stage expert. Once the quality of one's cultivation increased, every increase in cultivation by one stage would be similar to how the low-level cultivator increased a stage. To put it simply, going from the early to mid stage of Nascent Soul would be like going from the Qi Cultivation stage to the Foundation Establishment stage.
The reason why Expert of Elemental Infant Stage were so powerful was because not only did they have to cultivate, they also had to comprehend the world and borrow the power of heaven and earth to unleash attacks. It was precisely because of this that many cultivators were unable to breakthrough, even when they had plenty of spiritual energy. On the other hand, if one could comprehend the mysteries of the world, even if the spirit energy within their body wasn't abundant, they could still borrow the power of the world to break through their current realm.
If one were to say that one could break through to the Nascent Soul Stage from the golden core stage, under the condition that one's comprehension and spiritual energy was plentiful, it would be possible to do the same. If a Soul Formation cultivator that was above the Nascent Soul stage couldn't comprehend the mysteries of the world, then even if they reached the peak of the late elemental infant stage, they shouldn't be able to reach the Soul Formation stage. It was exactly because of this that so many elemental infant stage cultivator had stopped after reaching this step. This was because they did not know how to comprehend and deify things. If one had to slowly explore, it was unknown just how many years it would take for a Deity to appear.
The Expert of Elemental Infant Stage was very strong, Han Yan could already feel it. Just now, the other party's gaze was able to almost destroy the spirit energy in his body. Looking at the people around him, the mortals had already fallen unconscious on the ground when they saw that gaze. Their faces were pale and their auras were weak. Qi Refining Stage Cultivator was the same, just that after she fainted, her aura was still normal. As for the Foundation Establishment stage Nalan Jingyi and Nalan Hai, although they did not faint, their faces were pale and their spirit energy was scattered. It was evident that they were no longer able to use any spells.
The old man's eyes revealed a look of surprise. He said, "Not bad. You are the first person I will see that you are not affected." After saying that, he paused for a while, and continued, "You saved Nalan family, and killed so many disciples in the sect. He suddenly raised his right hand, and grabbed in Han Yan's direction.
Nalan Hai's face darkened, and immediately shouted: "Dodge!"
Han Yan really wanted to dodge, but the surrounding space had instantly frozen, making him unable to flash his fingers. Sensing the huge incoming pressure, Han Yan gritted his teeth and summoned the green small sword from the storage bag. The small sword flashed and flew straight towards the old man, but not long after, there was a clank as the small sword was knocked away by a huge energy and fell to the ground.
The pressure in the air became stronger and stronger. Han Yan could smell the scent of death, and originally, he was still able to take out a magical equipment from the storage bag. Now, he didn't even have the ability to open the storage bag. Just as Han Yan was completely helpless, the Nine-clawed dragon cat in his arms suddenly leaped up and waved its claws in the air.
A grey light flashed in the air in front of him, and a transparent palm appeared. Upon closer inspection, a sharp claw mark could be seen on his palm. Following that, an unbelievable scene appeared. On his palm, with the claw marks as the center, cracks quickly spread. When all his palms were covered in cracks, with a "pa da" sound, his palms crumbled and disappeared into thin air.
The old man's gaze focused and he said in surprise: "Nine-clawed dragon cat is indeed ancient beast, it's a pity that you have yet to cultivate your innate ability." As he said that, he raised his hand and grabbed the Nine-clawed dragon cat again.
The palm formed by this grab did not hide itself. Instead, it appeared in the air. He then transformed into a straight line and headed straight towards the direction of the Nine-clawed dragon cat. Nalan Jingyi and Nalan Hai had just been blown by this astral wind, and their bodies were like kites with their strings cut. After blowing for three hundred meters and smashing apart several Archaeopterygium s, they finally stopped. Most of their clothes were torn, and their faces were as pale as paper. They had already breathed in and out less, and they breathed out more.
Han Yan was also forced to retreat more than ten steps before he could stabilize his body under the astral winds. The moment his body stabilized, he felt a sweet sensation in his throat and he spurted a mouthful of blood.
Once again looking at the sky, the gigantic palm had already arrived in front of the Nine-clawed dragon cat. The Nine-clawed dragon cat clawed with all its might, and a grey light landed on her palm. The speed of the palm stopped for a moment, and its momentum did not decrease as it grabbed at the Nine-clawed dragon cat once again. In the blink of an eye, the Nine-clawed dragon cat was caught by the gigantic palm.
After grabbing onto the Nine-clawed dragon cat, the old man's face lit up, then he asked: "Submission or death?"
The Nine-clawed dragon cat's eyes were filled with rage, and its body exuded a monstrous killing intent. After that, the killing intent disappeared. It turned around and looked at Han Yan with complex emotions in its eyes — reluctance, determination, helplessness and regret. With so many emotions, it was simply not like it was from a Demonic Beast, but more like a good brother's final glance before he parted ways with his family.
Seeing the Nine-clawed dragon cat reveal such a look, Han Yan's eyes turned blood-red. He thought about thirty years ago, when the Nine-clawed dragon cat had risked everything to save his life. Han Yan growled, and slapped the storage bag at his waist, causing it to appear in his hands. He held it tightly, and poured all the spirit energy in his body into the Imperial Jade Seal. The originally white Imperial Jade Seal suddenly glowed with a blood-red light. The light grew brighter and brighter, until it finally became a blinding red and shocking red, causing one to be unable to open their eyes for a moment.
After the old man sensed the change in Han Yan's hand, his body trembled, and his pupils dilated as he cried out involuntarily, "Feeding blood essence …"
