174: Self-reliance
After finishing their conversation, Dugu Bo and Gu Yi left Xueyuan City together.Judging from the look of it, he should be going to have a chat with Ning Fengzhi. As for whether the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and the Ye Family will make peace in the future, that depends on how the two sides talk.
Lin Chuan learned from Ye Rong that in the past, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect only suppressed the reputation and property of the Ye family, and did not actually attack or kill them. Even if they had a grudge in the past, it was not deep.
If Ning Fengzhi is willing to pay some price, it is not impossible to resolve the situation.
As for the safety of Gu Yi and Dugu Bo, Lin Chuan was not worried.
With the intelligence capabilities that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect possesses, they must be very clear about his relationship with the two of them. As long as Ning Fengzhi's brain is not damaged, he will not do anything stupid at this time.
"Everyone get ready, we'll set off after the two seniors come back!"
The women nodded one after another and then left together.
This was no small matter, and one had to inform family members before leaving, so several people rushed to their respective hometowns.
Lin Chuan turned to look at Shui Lanxin and Ye Rong again, "I'll trouble the dean and Aunt Ye for Xueyuan City. I will return as soon as I send Bing'er and the others to Poseidon Island."
"Don't worry, we are here, so you don't need to worry about Xueyuan City."
"Sister Ye is right. I'll leave those children to you, Xiaochuan."
With Shui Lanxin and Ye Rong around, and the support of the Ye and Shui families behind the scenes, Lin Chuan doesn't need to worry too much about the territory and can just be at ease as a hands-off boss.
After a brief discussion, the two left in a hurry.
There are still many things to be dealt with in the city.
"I'm planning to go to Sunset Forest. Lingling and Zhuqing need spirit rings, so they can come with me. Yanzi, are you going with me?"
Dugu Yan nodded without hesitation, "You all left, you can't leave me alone, right?"
"Then let's go together!"
After informing each other of their next move, the four of them rushed to the Sunset Forest without stopping.
It has been a long time since I last came here. It has been a long time since I last came here.
"Zhu Qing, what soul beast do you plan to hunt?"
Lin Chuan and others were walking in the Sunset Forest. Their leisurely posture did not seem like they were here to hunt soul beasts, but rather like they were here for tourism.
However, there are not many ten thousand year old soul beasts in the Sunset Forest, and most of them have no more than fifty thousand years of cultivation. With Lin Chuan's current strength, he can easily walk sideways here.
Zhu Zhuqing opened her red lips and said, "As long as it's a soul beast that's good at speed, it'll be fine."
"Okay, let's look for it!"
Lin Chuan's body was once again surrounded by a green glow, which transformed into thousands of light spots that fell on the ground. The blue silver grass at his feet suddenly swayed rapidly.
Soon, not only the blue silver grass, but other plants also began to glow faintly.
Under the influence of the mystery of life, the plants in the entire Sunset Forest seemed to begin to respond, so that most of the information about the forest was easily grasped by Lin Chuan.
"Found it!"
After a few breaths, Lin Chuan slowly opened his eyes.
"There is a 20,000-year-old soul beast about five kilometers away. It should be very suitable for Zhuqing."
"What are you waiting for? Don't let it run away!"
Dugu Yan was eager to try, so he urged quickly.
"Don't worry, it can't run away!"
Since he has been locked onto by Lin Chuan, there is naturally no chance of escape.
The four of them rushed through the forest, covering a distance of five kilometers in the blink of an eye.
"That's... a ghost leopard!"
Everyone landed on a big tree and instantly spotted the soul beast in the jungle.
Its entire body was black and purple, and its hair shone brightly under the sunlight. It was more than ten feet long and extremely slender, but the muscles that were exposed from time to time looked particularly powerful.
Just the appearance alone is enough to give off a sense of oppression.
"I'm lucky. I didn't expect it to be a ghost leopard. This kind of soul beast is not only good at speed, but also good at attacking. Moreover, its cultivation level has just exceeded 20,000 years. It's perfect for me!"
In fact, twenty thousand years has exceeded the theoretical lifespan of the sixth soul ring, but Zhu Zhuqing once cultivated her physique in the Temple of the Earth, so it should not be a problem for her to absorb it.
"Brother Chuan, I want to try it myself."
Just when Lin Chuan was about to take action, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly asked.
"No problem," Lin Chuan naturally would not refuse such a request. He smiled and nodded in agreement.
"Thanks!"
Zhu Zhuqing smiled back, then quickly possessed her martial spirit, transformed into a black shadow and disappeared over the treetops, attacking the ghost leopard at an extremely fast speed.
"Ah——"
The ghost leopard that was licking its fur suddenly stood up, all its fur stood up instantly, and it roared towards the sky.
"What a strong momentum. Xiaochuan, is it really okay to let Zhuqing go alone?" Dugu Yan's face was slightly gloomy, and he asked softly while standing beside Lin Chuan.
"Don't worry, just watch it first!"
Lin Chuan shook his head slightly, but was not in a hurry to do anything.
A ten thousand year soul beast corresponds to the Soul King realm, and a twenty thousand year soul beast requires a Soul Emperor to deal with. With Zhu Zhuqing's current strength, she is on par with this ghost leopard.
As for whether she can win, it depends on how she handles it.
Fortunately, there is no restraint between the man and the soul beast, so everyone has a chance to win.
Zhu Zhuqing's face was calm, without any sign of fear. The sharp claws in her hands suddenly popped out, and her speed obviously doubled, and she rushed towards the ghost leopard like a shadow.
"Good boy, you are really decisive!"
Lin Chuan looked at the fierce and ferocious Zhu Zhuqing with surprise.
The girl attacked without any hesitation, and had no idea what fear was, as if the person in front of her was not a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast.
"Ah——" The ghost leopard reacted equally quickly, and suddenly tilted its head while rushing forward rapidly.
With a bang, Zhu Zhuqing's claw did not hit the leopard's head, but hit the ghost leopard's back, making a low cutting sound. Five claw marks appeared, accompanied by blood spraying.
The ghost leopard cried out in pain, its eyes flashed with ferocity, and it opened its bloody mouth and bit towards Zhu Zhuqing.
"Hundred Claws of the Netherworld!"
Zhu Zhuqing did not dodge, but began to spin suddenly. The cat's claws containing soul power flashed with cold light, and instantly formed countless claw winds that attacked the ghost leopard's face.
"Bang!"
The two sides collided violently, and smoke and dust rose in an instant.
A black shadow suddenly flew out from the smoke and bounced on the ground several times like a skipping stone before it managed to stabilize its body.
Looking closely, it was Zhu Zhuqing.
At this time, the girl looked embarrassed, her arm was slightly twisted, and it was obvious that she was seriously injured.
"Xiaochuan!" Dugu Yan called out hurriedly.
Lin Chuan shook his head gently, "Don't worry, if Zhu Qing loses in the end I will take action, but don't think she is in pain now, the ghost leopard is also seriously injured."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"roar--"
As soon as the words fell, another roar sounded.
However, compared to the previous roar, this time it was clearly filled with anger.
A hurricane blew by, and the smoke and dust were instantly dispersed. The ghost leopard emerged again, with a deep scar left on its left eye, and even its eyelids were closed at this time.
It's obvious that eye is blind, no wonder he's so angry.
The ghost leopard kicked the ground with its limbs and rushed towards Zhu Zhuqing fiercely.
The girl endured the pain, her eyes were cold, and the soul ring behind her suddenly lit up, "Nether Shadow Clone!"
As a dark light flashed, more than ten clones appeared out of thin air in an instant. They looked exactly like Zhu Zhuqing, and even their aura was the same.
But judging from their appearance, it is really impossible to tell who is the real one.
"Oh? Is it still this soul skill?"
Lin Chuan showed a look of surprise. He didn't expect that his intervention would cause such a butterfly effect. Zhu Zhuqing's fourth soul skill remained unchanged.
Moreover, these clones in front of us are not illusions, each of them has a real entity.
However, Lin Chuan still easily identified Zhu Zhuqing's true form.
"Come on!" All Zhu Zhuqing shouted softly at the same time, then quietly jumped up and rushed towards the ghost leopard almost at the same time.
In addition to some people attacking from the air, there are also a few people who are approaching quickly on the ground.
"roar--"
The ghost leopard roared, and a dark light suddenly burst out from its body. Then its speed suddenly increased to a level, and its claws suddenly swung forward.
Countless black claw shadows attacked, and many clones were pierced before they even had time to dodge.
At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared behind the ghost leopard.
The ghost leopard suddenly turned around and pierced his abdomen with one claw. Unexpectedly, the Zhu Zhuqing in front of him was already a clone, and a powerful soul power was surging behind him.
"Netherworld Slash!"
Zhu Zhuqing's face was cold. She clasped her hands together above her head. The claw blades on her ten fingers quickly merged together and then turned into a black light blade about one foot long and slashed down.
"Boom boom—"
The light blade fell on the ghost leopard's head and hit it hard.
The huge force instantly created a dent in the ground, causing the ground to tremble slightly.
Blood spurted out of the ghost leopard's mouth, and a human-like unwillingness appeared on its furry face. A dim light suddenly burst out from its body. Although the Netherworld Slash had strong destructive power, it was still not fatal.
A black shadow flashed by, and Zhu Zhuqing was instantly split into two.
However, there was still no blood spilled, and the figure in front of him once again turned into a black and purple light and dissipated.
"Although his fighting style doesn't seem like an agile attack, his combat intelligence is indeed very good!"
Lin Chuan sighed softly, but his eyes were full of approval.
"Fifth soul skill, Nether Blade Shadow!"
Two figures flashed over, one of them was Zhu Zhuqing's real body.
The two men suddenly turned into black shadows and rushed forward, piercing the ghost leopard's body back and forth quickly. The claw shadows formed were everywhere, as if countless people were attacking at the same time.
The ghost leopard cried out in pain again, and in the blink of an eye it was covered with wounds.
The soul power seeped in through the wounds, wantonly destroying its body. The scars in some parts were even so deep that the bones were visible.
The sharp claws flashed and the soul skill finally stopped.
Zhu Zhuqing was breathing heavily, and most of her soul power had been consumed.
Even though the Nether Blade Shadow was extremely powerful, it was a ten thousand year old soul skill after all, and it consumed a lot of energy. Plus, with so many clones created before, his soul power was almost exhausted.
The girl did not relax and looked at the ghost leopard in front of her with vigilance.
Blood gushed out of the ghost leopard's body wildly, completely staining the ground where it was standing red, with even pieces of its internal organs falling out.
But even with such serious injuries, the ghost leopard still stood stubbornly and walked towards Zhu Zhuqing step by step.
As if it was sure that the girl was no longer a threat, the ghost leopard could no longer endure it, and pounced forward swiftly, opening its bloody mouth to swallow her into its stomach.
Zhu Zhuqing wanted to dodge, but her legs felt very heavy and no longer obeyed her.
"So far, you've done a great job!"
A gentle voice suddenly sounded in Zhu Zhuqing's ears.
Then a hand suddenly stretched out and tapped the ghost leopard lightly on the head. The soul beast, which was ferocious just now, was instantly knocked unconscious.
