Chapter 76: Mighty Tinder, Chicken-Catching Palm
“Martial Uncle Azure Lotus!”
Once Zhang Yunxi finished speaking, the black fog started fluctuating vigorously.
Obviously, the Supremacies hidden within the black fog were restless.
“It’s the 7h Stage Blue Nature Lotus’ variant, Azure Green Sky Lotus.”
“Is it possible that it’s Heavenly Venerable Azure Lotus, Chu Longhe? Hurry and retreat!”
The black fog exploded and dispersed as many Supremacies instantly escaped in all directions.
They clearly knew what the azure lotus flower in front of them represented. That person could be said to be one of those that no one dared to offend in the whole Eastern Wilderness.
A Nascent Soul cultivator’s speed was formidable, so they traversed tens of thousands of meters in the blink of an eye.
However, at that moment, a chuckle echoed from the void.
“Do you all still think you can escape after daring to make a move on my Martial Nephew’s daughter?”
The moment his voice died down, the azure lotus flower suddenly released tens of wisps of fire. Their color resembled that of jade and looked extremely pretty as they were crystal clear.
They pierced through the air and shot toward the ones covered in the black fog.
In the blink of an eye, the azure green wisps of fire caught up with the fog-covered cultivators, exploded, and lit the black fogs on fire, enveloping them in flames. At the same time, shrill screams resounded from within the black fogs.
In a split second, they burned the black fogs and the Supermacies hiding within into ashes.
Afterward, the azure green flames engulfed their storage rings, flew back, gathered, and gradually formed a human figure.
The person that appeared before everyone was an old Taoist priest. He had white hair but a ruddy complexion and wore a taoist robe with the heavenly Eight Trigrams[1] diagram in the chest area. He had a pleasantly warm smile on his face as if he was really a Perfected Immortal.
Of course, if his hands were not equipped to the brim with storage rings, his public persona of being an extraordinary expert who lived in seclusion could be more realistic.
Zhang Yunxi heaved a sigh of relief upon seeing that old Taoist priest.
Although he was infamous for being unreliable in the way he did things, one had to acknowledge that his strength was top-tier. He could rival a whole sacred ground on his own.
In other words, now that he was there, the Divine Firmament Drager Pendant was finally safe.
The old Taoist priest vanished and instantly appeared beside Zhang Yunxi. Then, he threw a kick. “Xiao’er, don’t be afraid. This chicken can’t harm you.”
Boom!
The old Taoist priest’s kick seemed ordinary, but it was so powerful it was fearsome. When his kick landed on the Great Golden-Winged Eagle’s wings, it sent him flying for thousands of meters away.
His golden feathers, which were tainted with reddish-gold blood, drifted in the sky.
The Great Golden-Winged Eagle’s eyes were filled with astonishment and fear. “How is this possible!?”
One had to know that the Great Golden-Winged Eagle race had three powerful killer weapons.
Firstly, it was their sharp claws that could even tear open s.p.a.ce.
Secondly, it was their sharp beaks that could pierce through anything.
Thirdly, their wings were known to be the fastest in the world and had a powerful attacking ability.
The feathers on their wings were harder than iron, like peerless blades. When battling, the wings of a Great Golden-Winged Eagle could be used as swords. There was even a wing-blade technique in the inheritance memories of their race—Golden Wings’ Nine Slash.
A Great Golden-Winged Eagle’s wings were originally invincible killer weapons, but now, they had actually cracked from being kicked by a human cultivator.
To the honorable Great Golden-Winged Eagle race, this was unimaginably humiliating!
“Human, you have angered me! You will be the first person in Soul Formation I kill since I’ve come to the Eastern Wilderness.
“Golden Wings’ Nine Slash, The First Slash—Slash Through Mountains And Rivers!”
The Great Golden-Winged Eagle flew into the air in a rage, and bright light exploded from his huge body, shining upon hundreds of thousands of meters of land.
A huge divine blade, as long as 1,000 meters, appeared and slashed toward the old Taoist priest. Even s.p.a.ce was crumbling as the blade pa.s.sed by!
Just as the name stated, it could slash through mountains and rivers. If one could train this strike to the extreme, then it could even destroy mountains and rivers!
The old Taoist priest looked at the humongous Great Golden-Winged Eagle in the sky with a solemn expression.
He’s actually the royal race of the Southern Border’s Eagle race, Great Golden-Winged Eagle...
Such a splendid ingredient, how should I cook it? It’s really troublesome to decide! Forget it, let’s capture it first!
After taking a deep breath, the old Taoist priest rubbed his hands and folded his sleeves. He stared at the Great Golden-Winged Eagle in front of him and suddenly stretched out his right hand toward the sky.
“Look at my mighty Tinder Body-Tempering Art—Chicken Catching Palm!”
As he finished speaking, the s.p.a.ce above the clouds started to distort.
The Great Golden-Winged Eagle’s body, which was hundreds of meters long, was actually shrinking rapidly.
“No, impossible! Old Taoist priest, you actually know the Mighty Spatial Prowess, Lifting Heaven Hand!”
The Great Golden-Winged Eagle was filled with shock and horror. He felt that he was facing an opponent he could not defeat.
The old Taoist priest licked his lips as his right hand gradually pushed forward and smirked.
“What Heaven Lifting Palm? It’s called Chicken-Catching Palm! Golden-winged chick, hurry and come to me!”
After finishing, he suddenly clenched his right hand, and the s.p.a.ce in front of him rapidly condensed.
The Great Golden-Winged Eagle was actually compressed to around one meter. It looked like it was indeed as big as an ordinary domestic rooster.
Although it was sealed in that s.p.a.ce, the Great Golden-Winged Eagle kept struggling. Its voice was extremely sharp. “Nonsense, this is definitely the Heaven Lifting Palm!”
The old Taoist priest smirked and said, “You’re just a dying chicken, why do you still bother arguing?”
Then, the old Taoist priest untied a golden iron rod from his back. He sized up the Great Golden-Winged Eagle; his expression was that of thinking how this ingredient should be cooked.
The Great Golden-Winged Eagle panicked. “You dare to kill me? I’m the son of the Third Elder of the Eagle race. If you kill me, my father will see the end of you!”
The old Taoist priest was slightly stunned, and his face revealed a worried expression. “How old is your father?”
The Great Golden-Winged Eagle sneered and said, “My father is 5,000 years old, almost going to enter the Saint realm. You dare to injure me, aren’t you afraid of causing a battle between the Eagle race and Divine Firmament Sacred Ground?”
The old Taoist priest seemed to be deep in thoughts.
“An old 5,000-year-old chicken, most likely its meat is not tender anymore... Sigh, looks like even if your father comes to find me, he can only be used to make soup.”
The Great Golden-Winged Eagle was stunned, and his golden feathers instantly stood up. He was enraged, almost going crazy with anger.
This crazy bast*ard fanatic! He actually wants to capture my father to make soup too!
Before the Great Golden-Winged Eagle could make a complaint, his anger instantly converted to terror because the old Taoist priest was heading toward him with his rod.
The old Taoist priest grabbed the Great Golden-Winged Eagle and flipped him around. Immediately after, that long golden rod was abruptly stabbed into the Great Golden-Winged Eagle’s bottom.
Old Taoist priest: “You’re quite tender, bear the pain.”
Great Golden-Winged Eagle: “No, don’t, ah!”
...
“Ahhh!”
A tragic scream could be heard throughout before ending abruptly.
The old Taoist priest flipped the grill and used azure green flames to barbecue the eagle.
He took a look at the void in the surroundings, then smiled and said, “Seeing that all of you did not make a move, each of you, give me 1,000,000 Spirit Stones. Then, I’ll let bygones be bygones and let you go.
“If not, I’ll tear through s.p.a.ce and find you myself to take it.”
Just as he finished speaking, the surrounding s.p.a.ce crumbled, and it started raining—the rain of green and crystal clear Spirit Stones seemed extremely gorgeous!
