Seeking the Tao in the Mortal World

Chapter 62: Qin Yi’s Fighting Factor

The first one to catch up was the three-eyed wolf beastkin.

The other few big beastkin looked at the peach hesitantly, then they looked at the chaotic scene. Finally, they chose to chase the two figures who escaped first.

Peach, as a mind-affecting voodoo art, had two functions. The first was to make all the beastkins that were affected by the spell think that it was some kind of holy item. If they ate it, they could break through directly. But this alone might not lead to a skirmish. The beastkins might form party, making it a conflict of forces. Some might feel tempted to retreat when seeing dead bodies everywhere.

Therefore, this voodoo art had another function, which was to trigger the bloodthirsty in the beastkin’s heart. Their minds would be filled with murderous intent and lose sanity, making them kill anything they saw.

These beastkin monsters that were chasing after them were the ones that still retained a trace of sanity. They knew the skirmish wouldn’t end immediately, so they could kill the two escaped ones and come back.

In fact, they already had weak thinking, but compared to the bloodlusted beastkin, they had already proved that their strength exceeded their peers by keeping a trace of sanity.

A strange ray shot out from the third eye of the three-eyed wolf, turning the stone that Qin Yi hid into powder. The strange ray continued to move forward and hit the array set up by Qin Yi. The array was destroyed instantly.

The wolf beastkin went past the array and chased Qin Yi. Five big beastkins behind it were roaring crazily.

“Brother, why are they chasing us?” Ye Ling almost cried, “We didn’t do anything!”

Qin Yi seemed to not hear her as he was thinking of countermeasures in his mind.

If we really fight head-on with these big beastkins, we will definitely lose, but there is clearly room for outsmarting such beastkins whose sanity is lost…

He turned to look at the wolf beastkin that was approaching rapidly, and he whispered, “Ye Ling, are you confident to shake them off with your speed?”

“That wolf is very powerful. Maybe I’m even with it, but it can’t fly as fast as me!” Speaking of her experience in escaping, Ye Ling was very confident, “The ones behind will definitely not be able to catch up with me!”

“That’s good. I’ll taunt away this wolf first. You go around and lead the rest in a circle. Remember, do not fight with them.”

“You…” Ye Ling looked at him hesitantly, “You can’t beat that wolf.”

“Just go.” Qin Yi suddenly stopped, separating more than 30 meters away from the running Ye Ling. He leaped up and struck the three-eyed wolf beastkin with the mace.

The beastkin wolf’s somewhat calm eyes instantly turned furious. The wolf beastkin spurted a spinning wind ball at Qin Yi’s head. Qin Yi scattered the wind ball with the mace. He landed to the ground and took half a step back.

On the other side, Ye Ling rushed to the several big beastkins behind and scolded them with her hands on her hips, “A bunch of stupid pigs, lue lue lue~”

“Roar!” The beastkins’ eyes turned red, then they charged toward Ye Ling.

Ye Ling turned around and ran away. She secretly glanced at Qin Yi’s battle situation with worry on her.

Liu Su was saying to Qin Yi, “Your decision to split seems reasonable. It can avoid being besieged. However, have you ever thought that Ye Ling may never come back, then those beastkins will return and you will have no chance to survive?”

Qin Yi replied briefly, “If you always doubt and guard against your companion, life will be difficult.”

Liu Su was silent for a moment and sighed, “You have never been betrayed… I hope you are right this time.”

Qin Yi already felt that Liu Su did not look like a weapon spirit. It was most likely that the remnant soul of a great powerhouse had no choice but to stay in the mace. He did not know why it was trapped in the strange space inside Immortal Track Mountain. Maybe it encountered an unimaginable betrayal.

But this was not the time to get to the bottom of it.

“Pong!” The mace and the wolf’s claws clashed, making a muffled sound. The clash caused the energy to disperse. The surrounding sand and gravel were stirred into the sky.

Qin Yi felt a huge surge of force. His hand was numb, and blood surged in his body. He took several steps back before regaining his foothold. However, the wolf beastkin did not get anywhere better. Its claws were bleeding profusely due to the spike on the mace. A strange force penetrated into its blood along with the pain, causing its blood to boil as if it were about to burn.

It roared furiously, splashing sand and rocks all over Qin Yi’s body.

“What is this… mace…?” Wolf Beastkin said in a somewhat jerky voice.

Qin Yi didn’t know what it was made of, and Liu Su didn’t say anything about it. In short, the material must be something great. He probably couldn’t exert even ten thousandth of its potential. He didn’t answer. While the wolf beastkin was in a bad state, he rushed forward again and swept the mace at its waist.

The beastkin wolf dodged, but Qin Yi didn’t exhaust his stamina. Instead, he swept the mace up toward its abdomen.

This was the biggest difference between martial arts, the experience accumulated by generations of warriors, and a beastkin who could only unleash its power arbitrarily.

Qin Yi knew that his cultivation was not as good as that of the wolf beastkin, and the gap in strength and speed was quite large, but he never felt that he would lose!

“Bang!” The mace and the wolf’s claws collided together again. His True Qi burst out violently. His physical strength gathered into one point, exerting a power that was more than twice as strong as the previous blow. The wolf beastkin was slammed hard into the mountain wall. The sunken wall was several feet deep.

Qin Yi didn’t get close again. He still remembered the dead ray of the wolf beastkin. It would be a suicidal move to rush in like this.

So he quickly made a seal and cast formed a thunder net at the sunken mountain wall.

As expected, a strange ray shot out from the wall where the wolf beastkin sank into. Qin Yi got to the side of the sunken mountain wall, holding up his mace and waiting.

The next moment, the wolf beastkin rushed out with the ray and fell into the thunder net immediately. At the same time, the mace struck with a monstrous force!

The wolf beastkin roared frantically, but the thunder net that could electrify vultures to death had no effect on it at all. At the same time, it blocked the mace with its wolf claws.

The sharp spike made it roar in pain. As its leg was bent, the mace almost hit its forehead. Its body was even lowered by the pressure of the mace.

Looking at the mace at a close distance and Qin Yi’s face behind the stick, the beastkin’s third eye flashed with strange light again. At such a close distance, it would be impossible for him to dodge!

Suddenly, a sharp force came from the mace, penetrating into its soul!

It was as if a sharp thorn had pierced directly into the soul, stirring and shattering its already chaotic soul into pieces.

Liu Su’s soul attack!

Qin Yi, holding a mace, was never alone!

“Roar!” The wolf beastkin roared in pain, burst out its last strength, and kicked Qin Yi.

Qin Yi spurted blood, sent flying for more than 30 meters, and fell heavily on the ground.

Looking up, the wolf beastkin didn’t know what it was doing anymore. It held its head and howled in pain. Its energy was rampant in its body, and its third eye bombarded the strange ray everywhere. All the nearby rocks were broken into pieces, and the slope of the hill was full of potholes.

In its chaotic thinking, it couldn’t figure out how a human being whose strength was obviously much weaker than it rendered it in such a miserable state.

Qin Yi did not go over. He secretly adjusted his True Qi to recover, carefully dodged the random ray blasts, and watched the wolf beastkin go crazy with a cold eye.

When the madness subsided and the energy was exhausted, Qin Yi waved the mace and smashed the third eye heavily.

The wolf beastkin fell backward; Qin Yi spat out a mouthful of blood again, panting feebly.

This battle was very short, but it was tense. He almost used up all his strength. Just by being kicked away, he felt like his entire body was falling apart. There were deep scars left by the wolf claws on his lower abdomen, and blood was dripping from it.

But looking at the motionless wolf corpse in the distance, Qin Yi also felt some pride in his heart.

This should be considered an over-level challenge right… Although the beastkin was mentally retarded, the collision of forces and the fierce confrontation made my blood boil for some reason. No matter how exhausted my body is, I’m extremely excited.

Maybe I am not a so-called calm person… The adventurous and exciting factor hidden deep in my heart is becoming more and more awakened and agitated.

Or maybe the two actually not too conflicting?

Without thinking much, he quickly chased it in the direction Ye Ling left.

TL: Maybe the mace is just OP?
