Chapter 30: Spirit Talisman Master "Third Update"

The large man could sense that his opponent was only at the initial stage of the Xiantian realm, having just entered it not long ago, while he himself was already at the profound level. However, the power of that punch was enough to destroy all the vitality within his body. Before his words had even finished, his bulky body had already collapsed in a limp heap.

"Third Team Leader is dead, run for it!"

The surrounding large men, upon seeing this scene, were all shocked to the core. They were all seasoned veterans of the Savage Beast Mountains, and immediately fled in a panic. If even the Third Team Leader, who was at the Xiantian realm, was no match, they could only imagine their own fates. Life was more important.

"Swift Snake Technique!"

In the side space, Lu Kun, seeing the sudden change, could no longer remain calm. His brows furrowed, and his hand seals changed. A cold and mysterious aura began to swirl in front of him, with runes seemingly filling his eyes. It eventually formed a black snake shadow the size of an infant's arm, which lunged at Zhu Xue like a living creature, tearing through the surrounding air.

"Spirit Talisman Transformation, Execute!"

Zhu Xue, who had been growing increasingly fatigued, suddenly had a sharp light shoot from her eyes. Strange hand seals condensed, and an unusual fluctuation began to surge wildly around her. On her body, mysterious runes spread out from the mysterious aura, finally coalescing into a living falcon.

"Screech!"

The falcon let out a fierce cry, spreading its wings several meters wide, and with a small storm of energy, it pounced directly at the black snake shadow. Its sharp claws grabbed the black snake's vital point, tearing it into pieces. However, the falcon's shadow also seemed to falter, disintegrating into runes in mid-air.

"A Spirit Talisman Master, you are actually a Spirit Talisman Master."

Lu Kun looked at Zhu Xue in shock. The shock on his face was enough to prove the extraordinary nature of the title "Spirit Talisman Master." He glanced back at Du Shaopu, who was entangled by leaves and vines, then at Zhu Xue, and said to the remaining few youths with reluctance, "Let's go."

"Whoosh, whoosh."

Following Lu Kun's words, the few youths' eyes changed slightly, and they immediately followed him, fleeing rapidly.

"Thank you for saving my life. My name is Guo Ming, and I am a disciple of the Xuanfu Sect. Since you saved my life, I owe you a great debt." The youth who had been saved by Du Shaopu picked up his fallen longsword and expressed his gratitude to Du Shaopu with a grateful look.

"So you are from the Xuanfu Sect."

Du Shaopu had heard of the Xuanfu Sect before. It was said to be a terrifying force on par with the Heavenly Snake Sect and the Xuanming Sect, with every disciple being extremely powerful. No wonder this youth, who was about the same age as him, had already broken through to the Xiantian realm. The large man was at the profound level of the Xiantian realm, yet this Guo Ming could directly contend with him without falling behind.

Looking up at Guo Ming, Du Shaopu suddenly remembered something and said, "Do you have any extra clothes? Give me a set."

"I do, I brought quite a few." Guo Ming was taken aback for a moment, then, looking at Du Shaopu's appearance, he seemed to understand and nodded.

"Phew!"

Not far away, Zhu Xue had been standing in the same spot, watching Lu Kun leave. Once she was sure he was gone, her face suddenly turned pale, and a mouthful of fresh blood spurted out.

"Senior Sister, are you okay?"

Guo Ming was immediately frightened and ran to Zhu Xue's side, his face turning deathly pale.

"I'm fine, just exhausted. We must leave immediately, or if they bring reinforcements back, we'll be in trouble." Zhu Xue said to Guo Ming, then nodded at Du Shaopu with a slight smile, expressing her gratitude for his help.

"Wait."

Du Shaopu was not one to be polite. He squatted down beside the large man who had been killed and searched his body, taking all the valuable items. He did not spare even the few先天境层次的猎妖者 who had been killed by Guo Ming earlier, causing Guo Ming and Zhu Xue to exchange glances.

A short while later, in a valley, Du Shaopu changed into a new blue-purple robe provided by Guo Ming. The quality was much better than his original purple robe, making him look even more upright.

From Guo Ming and Zhu Xue, Du Shaopu learned that it had been nearly a month since the Golden-winged Great Peng and the Purple Flame Demon Phoenix had self-destructed. It turned out that he had been unconscious and practicing the Golden-winged Great Peng cultivation method for that long.

Additionally, he learned from Guo Ming and Zhu Xue that the powerful figures from the Heavenly Snake Sect, the Xuanming Sect, and the Xuanfu Sect, who had gone to search for the remains of the Golden-winged Great Peng and the Purple Flame Demon Phoenix, had all disappeared without a trace. Those who had been waiting at a distance did not know what had happened and could only cautiously investigate.

When they arrived at the scene, they found only chaos, with no sign of the Golden-winged Great Peng or the Purple Flame Demon Phoenix's bodies. The elders and powerful figures from their sects were all gone. However, some people had accidentally found some feathers of the Golden-winged Great Peng and the Purple Flame Demon Phoenix on the ground, which were undoubtedly extraordinary treasures, leading to a fierce competition for them.

The disciples of the three sects fought a major battle, resulting in many casualties, after which they dispersed.

Later, more and more hunters and adventurers gathered around. Zhu Xue and Guo Ming discovered that the Heavenly Snake Sect's Lu Kun and some people from the White Leopard Hunter Group had joined forces to try to seize the Purple Flame Demon Phoenix feathers they had obtained. The two had been fleeing and were just encountered by Du Shaopu.

Listening to their account, Du Shaopu had a general understanding of the situation. However, he naturally did not tell Zhu Xue and Guo Ming that the powerful figures from their sects had been torn to pieces by the three demon beast kings, and that the old man with white hair had likely met a tragic end while being pursued by the demon beast kings.

Du Shaopu was not deliberately hiding this information from Zhu Xue and Guo Ming. It was just that, given the involvement of the Golden-winged Great Peng and the Purple Flame Demon Phoenix, it was better to keep it secret to avoid unnecessary trouble. If someone found out he had practiced the Golden-winged Great Peng cultivation method, he would be in endless trouble. At best, he would be used as a test subject, and at worst, his life would be in danger.

"May I ask for your name and which sect you come from? Thank you for your assistance this time." Zhu Xue looked at Du Shaopu with her clear eyes, a slight smile on her lips. She wore a light green robe, her face oval-shaped, elegant and refined.

"Du Shaopu, no sect, no affiliation." Du Shaopu smiled at Zhu Xue.

"No sect, no affiliation."

Zhu Xue and Guo Ming seemed somewhat skeptical. They had seen the powerful figure behind this youth, who had intimidated the Heavenly Snake Sect's Copper Snake Elder into not acting rashly. They assumed Du Shaopu had some hidden reasons for not revealing his sect. Zhu Xue did not press further, smiling slightly and asking, "What are your plans?"

Du Shaopu replied, "I plan to leave the Savage Beast Mountains and head to Stone City."

Zhu Xue's brows furrowed slightly. "From our current position to Stone City, even at our speed, it might take more than half a month to get out. Guo Ming and I also need to leave the Savage Beast Mountains first, then find a way to locate the missing disciples and elders of our sects. The Savage Beast Mountains are now extremely dangerous. How about we travel together?"

"This..."

Du Shaopu considered for a moment. Zhu Xue and Guo Ming were both at the Xiantian realm, and their strength was not weak. Having two more people would indeed be safer. Although they were currently in some trouble, he had already gotten involved. He nodded and said, "Alright, let's go together."

"Two updates in one go, today's updates are complete."
