Chapter 69

"Kill... Kill..."

"Blazing Heaven!"

"Wind Splitting Blade Technique!"

"Shattering Heaven Strike..."

Huo Lie and the others roared as they charged forward, each using their strongest martial skills.

As they unleashed their techniques, various colors of light flickered on their weapons.

The group was now brimming with determination. Up until now, whenever they encountered powerful ferocious beasts, Ye Feng had always taken the lead, which made these Fifth Rank martial artists, though they did not say it, feel somewhat不服气 (unwilling). After all, at their age, reaching the Fifth Rank made them geniuses wherever they went.

Geniuses, adored by people, valued by sects, all had a sense of pride. And now? They were actually inferior to a Fourth Rank martial artist? How could they be content with that?

Just as they pounced on the Golden-feathered Falcon, the injured bird went completely berserk. Its massive wings flapped, instantly causing sand and stones to fly. The feathers on its wings were like sharp blades, clashing with their weapons and producing a series of crisp sounds.

However, ultimately, Ye Feng had dealt it a fatal blow, leaving it severely injured. Gradually, the Golden-feathered Falcon's movements slowed, and its wounds multiplied.

Phew...

Seeing the Golden-feathered Falcon's movements slow down, Guo Qianqian let out a long breath and relaxed.

But in that instant, the Golden-feathered Falcon suddenly erupted, its movements doubling in speed. Its sharp claws lunged toward Guo Qianqian's head.

At this sudden turn of events, Guo Qianqian was momentarily stunned, frozen in place.

In its final desperate lunge, the Golden-feathered Falcon exerted extraordinary strength.

A single claw from a Sixth Rank ferocious beast, especially the steel-like claws of the Golden-feathered Falcon, would turn her head into a mushy melon if it caught her.

"Be careful..."

Seeing this, Huo Lie roared at Guo Qianqian, while Bai Yu stepped forward and tackled her to the ground.

The Golden-feathered Falcon paid no heed to this, its mind filled with only a vague consciousness. Its claws struck Bai Yu's back.

Even a rock would be shattered by its claws, let alone Bai Yu's flesh and blood.

"No..."

"Kill..."

...

Instantly, Huo Lie and the others' eyes turned bloodshot, and they roared in anger. After spending this time together, sharing life and death, though each had their secrets, their relationship had undoubtedly become very close and harmonious.

Seeing Bai Yu about to be killed by this feathered beast, they all became desperate.

"Senior Brother... Move away quickly!"

Guo Qianqian was even more so. She was pinned under Bai Yu, her eyes fixed on the sharp, hook-like claws descending toward Bai Yu's back. She struggled to push him away, but to no avail.

Bai Yu felt Guo Qianqian's struggle but did not get up, instead shaking his head resolutely at her.

"Whoosh!"

Suddenly, a whistling sound rang out, and a black arrow shot like lightning toward the Golden-feathered Falcon.

Just as the Golden-feathered Falcon's claws were about to grab Bai Yu, it soared high into the air and, a moment later, fell with a loud thud, stirring up a cloud of dust.

Seeing this, Huo Lie and the others looked toward the boulder where Ye Feng stood. Ye Feng was still in the posture of drawing his bow.

How could they not know what had happened? They all looked at Ye Feng with gratitude.

Bai Yu and Guo Qianqian were even more so. Both let out a long breath, feeling as if they had survived a great calamity.

First, he saved Huo Lie, then Bai Yu. Though they were a small team, they could not help but feel grateful.

"Be careful!"

Suddenly, Ye Feng, standing on the boulder, shouted, quickly drawing another arrow and nocking it on the Crocodile Dragon Bow.

Hearing Ye Feng's words, the others turned to look. The Golden-feathered Falcon, which had fallen to the ground, wobbled to its feet.

Thud...

Just as it stood up, the Golden-feathered Falcon fell again, and this time it did not get up.

Phew!

At this moment, everyone let out a long breath.

'Sixth Rank ferocious beasts are indeed vicious!' None of them had expected the Golden-feathered Falcon to be so difficult to handle. It was only because Ye Feng's first arrow had severely injured it that they managed to kill it. Otherwise, the five Fifth Rank martial artists would definitely not have been able to kill the Golden-feathered Falcon, and even if it didn't kill them, it would have exhausted them to death.

After all, compared to the physical strength of ferocious beasts, their martial artists' explosive power did not last as long.

"Brother Ye, thank you!"

"Little brother, thank you!"

Seeing the Golden-feathered Falcon dead, Bai Yu and Guo Qianqian quickly thanked Ye Feng.

"Brother Bai, Sister Qian, we're a team, no need to be so formal!"

After saying this, Ye Feng's figure flickered, and he sat cross-legged on the ground, his face pale.

Of course, he was deliberately doing this; otherwise, it would be impossible to explain how a Fourth Rank martial artist could kill a Sixth Rank ferocious beast. Though everyone had good intentions, it was better to keep some things to himself.

"Little brother, are you okay?"

Seeing Ye Feng's appearance, the others instantly gathered around him. Guo Qianqian even jumped onto the boulder and came to his side, asking with concern.

When she saw Bai Yu pounce on her, Guo Qianqian had already despaired, but the sudden turn of events left a significant impact on her.

"I'm fine, just need to rest for a while."

Hearing this, Ye Feng shook his head and said indifferently.

"That's good. Little brother, here's a bottle of Spirit Power Pill, take it to recover!"

Hearing Ye Feng's words, Guo Qianqian let out a long breath, took a bottle of pills from her ring, and handed it to Ye Feng.

"I have a bottle of Essence Cultivation Pill, Brother Ye, take it too!"

"I have a Spirit Essence Pill..."

...

Seeing the pills in Guo Qianqian's hand, Ye Feng was momentarily stunned. Looking at the pills they offered, he inwardly cursed their extravagance. Ordinary people could not even obtain the most common Qi Condensation Pill, yet they instantly produced so many high-grade pills. After all, except for the Spirit Power Pill, the other pills could only be refined by high-grade alchemists.

High-grade alchemists, though not as prestigious as high-grade pharmacists, still held an extremely high status on the Tianlang Continent. A family with an alchemist could ensure its prosperity.

Thus, it was clear that high-grade pills refined by high-grade alchemists were no ordinary items.

However, Ye Feng did not take the pills they offered and said, "Thank you all for your kindness, but I have my own pills..."

Joking, knowing the pill toxicity, how could Ye Feng eat them? So, he took out a porcelain bottle from his ring.

...

When they saw the porcelain bottle in Ye Feng's hand, they were all stunned. Thinking he had better pills, they were surprised when they saw the most common street vendor goods, something they usually wouldn't even look at.

"Little brother, don't be shy, take my pills to recover!"

Guo Qianqian thought Ye Feng was embarrassed to take their pills, so she urged him again.

"Yes, brother, don't be shy, we usually treat these like candy, I'll give you a few bottles later!"

"Yes, Brother Ye, don't be polite with us!"

...

The others also spoke up, but they were careful not to hurt Ye Feng's pride, so they were more subtle.

"Brother Huo, Sister Qian, thank you. I know my condition, only the pills I have are the most suitable."

Hearing their words, Ye Feng thanked them and said.

Hearing this, the others could not say anything more. They thought Ye Feng must have used some secret technique, and the damage it caused was unknown, so they did not press further.

Ye Feng then drank the Spirit Power liquid from the bottle.

Seeing Ye Feng start to meditate, Guo Qianqian stood by his side to protect him, while the others went to dissect the Golden-feathered Falcon.

The materials from a Sixth Rank ferocious beast, especially its feathers, were very valuable.

"Everyone, take some of its meat, the Sixth Rank ferocious beast is very nourishing!"

When they were almost done dissecting, Ye Feng stood up and said.

...
