Chapter 13

After a moment, Tanggu, carrying the things he had bought, came to the Mist Island once again.

At this time, the Mist Island was no different from when he left; it was still shrouded in a thick fog.

Tanggu went to the place where he had buried the purple bow, carefully examined it for a few moments, and seeing the marks left by the seawater, he was relieved to confirm that the purple bow was still there.

What he feared most was that the purple bow would suddenly disappear or be taken by someone. Now, it seemed he had overthought it. Not only was this small island rarely visited, but even if someone did come, they wouldn't be able to find where he had buried the purple bow.

Without hesitation, Tanggu then picked up his things and followed the path he remembered to the place where he had discovered the "Little Blood Sinew Fruit," in front of the vast beast-head canyon.

Crouching on a secluded rock, Tanggu looked down. After just a few glances, he felt relieved.

The "Phantom Flame Copper Eagle" was still there, and so was the "Little Blood Sinew Fruit," which still didn't seem to be ripe.

However, Tanggu noticed a difference. After these six days, the fragrance of the "Little Blood Sinew Fruit" had become even more intense, and its color had turned a deeper, more vivid red. Strands of dazzling blood-colored light radiated from it, piercing through the surrounding withered branches.

"Good, I'm not afraid that you're here; I'm afraid that you're not."

Tanggu's eyes flickered slightly, and he quietly retreated.

After all the preparations and the great cost, if the Phantom Flame Copper Eagle had already flown away, Tanggu would have been disappointed.

He had already considered it his own. A peak-turning Phantom Flame Copper Eagle was very rare, and such a powerful and rare copper eagle demon soul was perfect for him to cultivate the "Soul Thought One Turn."

Its effects and power were likely far superior to the ordinary first-grade demon souls sold in large cities, and even with money, it might not be possible to buy one.

...

As Tanggu walked out, he observed the surrounding valley environment. After a moment, he came to a small canyon.

This canyon had a unique terrain, resembling a narrow strip of sky. The cliffs on both sides were towering and rugged, reaching a thousand feet high, like an eagle's beak, allowing only a faint sliver of daylight to penetrate.

Whether it was a person or a beast, there was very little space to maneuver here, making it the ideal place for an ambush in his mind.

Tanggu's eyes immediately brightened.

"Good, this place is perfect. I'll choose here."

After saying that, he leaped down to the steepest part of the canyon and dug a large pit on the flat ground below, about several feet wide and several yards deep.

Then, he crouched down again, carefully placed a few items, and turned to leave quietly.

Soon, he returned to the canyon where the "Little Blood Sinew Fruit" grew, drew his bow, and aimed at the "Phantom Flame Copper Eagle" circling in the sky.

Then, he quietly lay in wait, motionless, waiting for the best moment.

The dense forest was shrouded in mist, giving it a somewhat eerie atmosphere.

Time passed minute by minute, and before he knew it, half an hour had gone by.

Tanggu's body did not move at all, his eyes fixed on the front, left hand drawing the bow, right hand holding the arrow, as steady as a rock.

Suddenly, the demon eagle in the distance became alert, its small, pea-sized eyes scanning the distant forest, sensing something unsettling.

However, after a long look, there was still no movement. The demon eagle blinked, thinking it might have been a hallucination. At that moment, its body made a sharp turn, flying to its lowest point, only about twenty to thirty yards above the ground.

At that moment, "Whoosh!"

A sharp bowstring sound broke the silence of the forest, startling the birds. From a distant hilltop, a dark, four-pronged arrow, whistling and gleaming, shot out, heading straight for the Phantom Flame Copper Eagle in the sky.

A clear white air wave appeared in the air, torn by the arrow, showing the immense power of the shot!

In the air, the ears of the Phantom Flame Copper Eagle twitched. The moment it heard the bowstring sound, it sensed something was wrong, and its body hair stood on end.

"Screech!" It let out a sharp cry, trying to rise and dodge, but it was too late!

The speed of the arrow was incredibly fast, and it was the moment when the demon eagle's defenses were weakest and closest to the ground, leaving no chance to dodge.

In the next moment, with a dull, earth-shaking boom, the four-pronged arrow, carrying immense force, pierced the soft abdomen of the "Phantom Flame Copper Eagle."

Instantly, blood splattered, and blood-stained feathers flew!

"Screech!"

An angry cry, the Phantom Flame Copper Eagle was thoroughly enraged. It made a sharp turn, flying back up to a height of a hundred feet, looking in the direction the arrow came from. A gray figure instantly appeared in its pupils.

Moreover, this despicable human had just finished drawing the bow, not even having time to check if the shot had hit, and was already turning and fleeing down the mountain, becoming smaller and smaller, quickly turning into a small black dot!

Coward! Only knows how to ambush!

The eyes of the Phantom Flame Copper Eagle burned with fierce anger. However, after a moment's hesitation, seeing that the "Little Blood Sinew Fruit" was not yet fully ripe, it immediately pursued without hesitation.

Opening its mouth, it spat out a mouthful of dark yellow flames. Wherever these dark yellow flames touched, the charred wood on the ground instantly burst into flames. In an instant, the entire tree was reduced to ashes, and even the rocks on the ground were burned to ashes, turning into small, crystalline particles.

This was its most powerful attack—the Phantom Flame—extremely terrifying, comparable to the Three Pure Fires emitted by a second-turn human Qi Dao cultivator.

In front, Tanggu felt the intense heat from behind, his face changing slightly. He knew that if he were to be touched by even a little, he would either die or be seriously injured. Immediately, he kicked off the ground with both feet and leaped onto a tree branch, like an arrow released from a bow.

In the next moment, he leaped again, landing on another tree branch, quickly fleeing toward the smaller canyon below.

Pursue!

One human and one eagle, one chasing and one fleeing. However, no matter how fast a human could run, how could it be faster than a flying bird? Soon, the Phantom Flame Copper Eagle caught up again, spitting out another mouthful of dark yellow flames. Tanggu hurriedly threw himself to the ground, rolling to avoid the flames. In the midst of his escape, he turned back to see the forest behind him turned to ashes.

Tanggu couldn't help but shiver, feeling both fear and relief. Fortunately, he had escaped a bit faster; otherwise, he would have been reduced to ashes like the trees.

However, this wouldn't do. His speed was far inferior to the demon eagle's. If he continued at this speed, he would be caught before reaching the canyon.

Thinking of this, he suddenly raised his bow again, without any arrow, and with a "hum," pulled the bowstring, shooting it backward, producing a clear bowstring sound.

However, because of the previous arrow, even though Tanggu didn't shoot any arrow this time, the Phantom Flame Copper Eagle, which had been chasing him relentlessly, was startled and instinctively made a sharp turn, flying up high, looking down the mountain with suspicion!

However, when it focused, it saw no arrow at all. The despicable and cunning human had taken the opportunity to increase the distance, continuing to flee downward!

The distance between them was now over a hundred feet!
