Chapter 35: Forceful Seizure

As night fell, the wind stirred the sea of trees.

In the valley, Du Shaofu sat cross-legged, practicing the cultivation method of the Golden-winged Great Peng, surrounded by a faint golden glow, which was extremely profound.

Dilingsha, located at the edge of the Beast Mountain Range, was a series of overlapping canyons and towering cliffs. Every morning and evening, thick fog would cover the area, making it difficult to see.

It was said that within Dilingsha, powerful demonic beasts often resided, so even demon hunters dared not easily enter.

Recently, however, quite a few people had gathered outside Dilingsha, but none dared to easily step into the canyon.

The night was as cold as water, with a bright moon hanging high in the sky.

Within Dilingsha, a dense wave of spiritual energy spread, making one's heart and mind tremble.

On a large rock outside Dilingsha, a dozen young men and women stood, who were precisely the disciples of the Xuanfumen.

Zhu Xue, Guo Ming, and Shen Yan stood in the center, looking at the dozens of figures on a small hill a hundred meters away. Zhu Xue's face was slightly solemn, and she said softly, "The people from the Tianshe Sect have also come."

"Senior Brother Shen Yan, several of our junior brothers were killed by the people from the Tianshe Sect. We must avenge them," Guo Ming said to Shen Yan.

Shen Yan was also looking at the people from the Tianshe Sect in the distance, his expression slightly heavy. "The people from the Tianshe Sect are with the White Leopard Demon Hunter Group. If we act now, we won't have any advantage."

"Shen Yan, you arrived quite early."

Several figures approached, a group of teenagers around seventeen or eighteen years old. The leading one was a well-dressed young man and a short-shirted young man, who directly leaped onto the large rock. The well-dressed young man's gaze fell directly on Zhu Xue, as if she were prey.

"Lin Boguang, Wang Yuan, you just arrived?"

Shen Yan stepped forward upon seeing this. Noticing Lin Boguang's gaze on Zhu Xue, he was displeased but did not show it.

The well-dressed young man ignored Shen Yan, but the short-shirted young man looked at Shen Yan and said, "Shen Yan, as we agreed, our Xuanming Sect and your Xuanfumen will temporarily join forces to deal with Lü Kun from the Tianshe Sect. However, who will ultimately obtain the spirit medicine will depend on our own abilities."

"Agreed," Shen Yan nodded.

"May I know the name of this junior sister? I am Lin Boguang. May I have the pleasure of getting to know you?" The well-dressed young man approached Zhu Xue, his gaze fixed on her as if she were prey.

Zhu Xue glanced at Lin Boguang, her bright eyes showing a coldness that kept people at a distance. "Please respect yourself."

With that, she turned and looked into the canyon, not wanting to deal with Lin Boguang further.

"You have character, I like that. Sooner or later, you will be my woman, Lin Boguang," Lin Boguang whispered in Zhu Xue's ear, then laughed, his gaze turning to the depths of the canyon. "It seems the spirit medicine is about to mature. I wonder who will end up with it. It's said that many demonic beasts reside in Dilingsha, so obtaining the spirit medicine won't be easy."

"Our Xuanfumen and Xuanming Sect joining forces will naturally increase our chances," Shen Yan replied, his gaze on Lin Boguang's back, a cold intent flashing in his eyes.

On the hill, Lü Kun looked at Shen Yan and Lin Boguang on the large rock in the distance, his expression somewhat gloomy. He said to a middle-aged man beside him, who was over two meters tall but as thin as a stick, "Leader, that boy who killed the Second and Third Leaders is not with them, but he must be related to the Xuanfumen."

"The deaths of the Second and Third Leaders will be avenged. Whether that boy is related to the Xuanfumen or not, I won't let him off," the thin man said, his eyes cold.

As the night passed and the darkness before dawn faded, a ray of morning light shone down. In the depths of the canyon, a beam of rosy light shot up into the sky.

"Boom!"

The rosy light, tinged with a blood-red hue, rose like the sun, lingering in the air. A dense wave of spiritual energy spread from the depths of the canyon.

"This is a high-grade spirit medicine maturing. Quick, seize it!"

Almost instantly, a powerful surge of mystic energy erupted outside the canyon. Figures leaped out and rushed into the canyon, the sound of breaking wind echoing, dispersing the morning fog.

"The spirit medicine is maturing. Act now."

Shen Yan, Lin Boguang, Wang Yuan, Guo Ming, Zhu Xue, and others, their mystic energy surging, dashed into the canyon like rainbows.

Figures flashed, fog spread. Shen Yan, Zhu Xue, Lin Boguang, Wang Yuan, Lü Kun, and the thin man, leading their respective groups, were the fastest, rushing into the canyon. Their eyes were fixed on a large rock in the canyon.

In the crevice of the rock, a blood-red spirit ginseng, about a foot tall and as thick as a baby's arm, emitted a rosy glow, rising into the sky. The blood-red spirit ginseng had a unique shape, resembling a baby, with blood-red runes spreading, and a dense wave of spiritual energy radiating, making all eyes glow with excitement.

"Blood Baby Spirit Ginseng, which can enhance martial veins and is the main ingredient for refining spirit-grade medicinal pills."

"Blood Baby Spirit Ginseng, a treasure for martial artists at the Pulse Movement stage."

The formations of the Xuanming Sect, Xuanfumen, and Tianshe Sect faced each other, and without hesitation, they engaged in a fierce battle.

The other groups also joined in, and the canyon quickly fell into chaos. Anyone trying to approach the Blood Baby Spirit Ginseng was immediately blocked by others, making it impossible for anyone to get close alone.

"Screech!"

Suddenly, a screech came from the fog in the sky, and a dozen large birds of prey swooped down. Each bird was over a dozen meters in size, their wings spanning the sky, their sharp claws and beaks gleaming. They attacked the people fighting below, tearing them apart and scattering blood.

"Roar!"

Then, from the depths of the canyon, wild beasts roared, and over a hundred demonic beasts charged out. The leading beasts were several meters tall, with sharp fangs, and they attacked the crowd, tearing many to pieces.

"Bad, the demonic beasts are also after the Blood Baby Spirit Ginseng. These beasts are powerful."

The fighting crowd quickly retreated, the fierce birds and beasts in the sky and on the ground causing panic. No one expected so many terrifying demonic beasts to suddenly appear.

The numerous fierce birds and beasts, breaking through the fog, were incredibly strong, far beyond what the crowd could resist.

The demonic beasts roared and screeched, tearing people apart, and the cries of pain echoed through the canyon.

Shen Yan, Zhu Xue, Guo Ming, Lin Boguang, Wang Yuan, and Lü Kun also quickly retreated. The terrifying demonic beasts and the Blood Baby Spirit Ginseng in front of them made them hesitant to advance.

"Run!"

Many people shouted, fleeing for their lives. The demonic beasts' attacks were too much for their low strength to resist, and their faces turned pale, none of them expecting so many fierce birds and beasts to suddenly appear.

"Look, who is that, not afraid of the demonic beasts?"

At this moment, someone was surprised to see a young man walking forward in the canyon, his body surrounded by a faint golden glow, his tall figure striding toward the Blood Baby Spirit Ginseng.

"Roar!"

"Screech!"

The surrounding fierce birds and beasts screeched and roared, but they retreated in the face of the young man, as if fearing something.

"It's Brother Du Shaofu."

Guo Ming's eyes widened in surprise, then his face lit up. The tall young man was indeed Du Shaofu.

"It's him."

Zhu Xue, Shen Yan, Lü Kun, Lin Boguang, and Wang Yuan all recognized Du Shaofu, their eyes filled with shock as they watched him in the canyon.

As the tall young man passed, the demonic beasts all retreated, and under the golden glow, he seemed like a supreme being, a king of beasts.

Du Shaofu had come to Dilingsha upon hearing about the spirit medicine. He was practicing the cultivation method of the Golden-winged Great Peng, which required spirit medicine to refine his divine feathers, so he couldn't miss this opportunity.

In fact, Du Shaofu had already come to Dilingsha and had seen the people from the Xuanfumen and Tianshe Sect from a distance. He had not shown himself, as secretly obtaining the spirit medicine was the most important thing.

In the Beast Mountain Range, Du Shaofu was not entirely sure why the demonic beasts avoided him, but he knew that he had an absolute advantage over them. The cultivation aura of the Golden-winged Great Peng intimidated ordinary demonic beasts, so this was the best opportunity.

Surrounded by a faint golden glow, Du Shaofu crossed everything with unmatched strength, and the fierce birds and beasts all retreated. He then leaped onto the large rock where the Blood Baby Spirit Ginseng was.

The dense wave of spirit medicine energy made Du Shaofu's eyes light up with joy. This spirit medicine was clearly extraordinary, and if he consumed it, it would greatly help in refining his divine feathers.

"Roar!"

At this moment, the fog in the sky broke, and a strong wind surged. A massive flying tiger appeared, covered in king-patterned scales, with two wings, its mouth snarling. Its wings spanned over twenty meters, and it stared at Du Shaofu, clearly eyeing the Blood Baby Spirit Ginseng as its target.

"Heaven, a King-patterned Demon Tiger, a being that could be a king among demonic beasts."

"This King-patterned Demon Tiger is likely too powerful for even martial artists at the Pulse Movement stage to resist. What a strong aura."

The surrounding crowd was shocked. The terrifying demon tiger flapped its wings, making it hard to breathe, its presence overwhelming.

Du Shaofu looked up at the massive King-patterned Demon Tiger in the sky. Suddenly, a golden glow enveloped him, and he formed a hand seal, with secret runes surging around him. A tyrannical and fierce aura erupted like a mountain flood, the golden glow rising into the sky, and within it, a Golden-winged Great Peng seemed to spread its wings.

At the same time, Du Shaofu shouted loudly, "Beast, get lost!"
