Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 386 – Demonic Assault

Even these two packhorse beasts already had the strength equivalent to the fourth stage of Mortal Realm, so by this time, they had already reached their limit. When Yang Junshan passed a forest and saw that the grass in the forest was young, he decided to rest for a while, so that the two packhorse beasts could recover their strength.

Although the cultivators had the ability to fly while in the air, even if they had flying magic tools in their hands, they could only fly for a short distance. Forget about running like the Hunting Horse Beast, even if they could run for a day and a night, they would still be able to fly for an hour, so with the dense spirit energy of Yang Junshan’s Wutu Spiritual Art, it would still consume about half of the spirit energy.

Only when one reached the advanced realms of life, when the spiritual energy in his body transformed into True Essence and produced the True Divine Spirit to protect his body, would he be able to truly travel to the Northern Sea, where the Mu Cang Wu would be able to travel a distance of one night even from the Mengyu County to the Yu Cheng.

“Caw Caw!”

When he raised his head to look, he realized that there was a crow on the branch of a large tree in the middle of the forest that was about a foot long flapping its wings and crying out loudly. Its two eyes shone in the dark forest and Yang Junshan even felt that the bird was staring at him!

Yang Junshan felt that it was a bit unlucky. Just as he was about to stand up and chase it away, the pitch black bird flapped its wings and shot out of the forest like a streak of black lightning. Yang Junshan did not even have time to cast a spell.

This bird is so fast!

After resting in the forest for half an hour, Yang Junshan fed two pills to each of the packhorse beasts to swallow. These pills could help them quickly recover their strength, but the price would be that they would cause serious damage to the two packhorse beasts. Even if they could survive, they would probably have to cover their eyes and go to the mill to grind them.

After returning from the Sunset Ridge’s mine, Yang Junshan had immediately ordered the two of them to head north. Although Yang Junshan had been running frantically for a day and a night, he was still an expert who had traversed the mountains. Furthermore, he had saved much less travel than, so it was expected that they would meet again soon.

Following the wild galloping of the Hunchbacked Beast, the distance between the two parties quickly shortened. Only then did Yang Junshan saw that the three black dots were actually three feet long, with their wings spread wide to almost two feet long, and the three crows had already begun to swoop down after noticing Yang Junshan. At the same time, two sharp claws extended out from their bellies to grab at his eyes.

Yang Junshan was shocked. At this time, it was already too late to use the Snake-Necked Bow, so he used a single hand to raise it, then slashed at the space in front of him. An invisible potential quickly condensed in the air, to the point where it formed a visible ripple that shot towards the first crow that swooped down.

A hoarse and miserable scream came from midair. Amongst the scattering black feathers, a rain of blood fell towards Yang Junshan’s head. However, all of them were swept to the side by the wave of Yang Junshan’s sleeves.

The first crow that swooped down was already cut into two halves by the spirit of breaking mountain, but the aftershocks of the spirit arts did not stop, once again colliding into the chest of the second crow. This crow’s chest caved in, and then spiraled upwards before falling down onto the ground.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the third crow madasty turn in the middle of the air to escape. However, Yang Junshan had already grasped onto the Snake-Necked Bow in his hand, and a spirit light arrow was condensed on the bow. In the end, this crow could not escape the fate of being shot.

With the reins in his hand, Yang Junshan turned to the side and scooped up the crow’s body that had been killed by the spirit of breaking mountain. A faint wave of Spirit Demon Qi was immediately sensed by his spirit sense.

Yang Junshan’s expression tensed, he extended his hand and touched the corpse, but did not find any immortals, but he could feel the entire layer of feathers on his body, no wonder why when it was struck by a spirit technique, he could preserve an entire corpse.

Unfortunately, Yang Junshan didn’t have the time to collect them, so he could only throw the crow’s corpse down to the ground in his hands. He patted the Hunting Horse Beast’s neck and said: “Let’s go, there should be ‘pleasant surprise’ waiting for us up ahead.”

As he rode on his horse and fled for more than five kilometers, Yang Junshan gradually discovered that ravens were standing on branches in the forest on both sides of the road. As he continued to move forward, the number of ravens on branches in the forest on both sides of the road grew more and more, and even the forests on both sides of the road were about to form a black colored wall.

“Squeak, squeak ~ ~”

The Hunting Horses beneath his feet suddenly stopped and began to pace around uneasily.

When Yang Junshan raised his head, he saw the tallest branch in the distance staring at him. The biggest black crow was standing on the branch as it looked at Yang Junshan.

This crow was two feet long, and had a pair of wings that were more than three feet wide. Its eyes were like black gems, and even in the evening light, one could still see a glimmer of light.

The Raven King was the only true cultivator among the flock of crows that had instinctively entered the demonic path!

Yang Junshan comforted the packhorse beast below him with one hand, and looked up with a lot of eyes. But suddenly, his eyes focused, and saw that under the tree where the crow king was standing, dozens of white skeletons were lying on the ground!

Yang Junshan’s aura surged, all the crows on the branches around him cried out as if they were frightened, and flew up from the tree, but none of them dared to pounce towards Yang Junshan.

When they got close enough, they could clearly see that there were still remnants of fresh meat on the bones of the horses. Not far away, there was a convoy that had already broken down, and from the things scattered on the convoy, it seemed like it was a merchant group that had been attacked. And among these scattered convoy, there were even dozens of black raven corpses scattered around.

Obviously, the caravan had been attacked by the crows, and everyone had been killed. The crows had eaten almost all the meat on the bodies, except for the bones.

It was such a familiar scene, the memories of his previous life were vivid, and even gave Yang Junshan a feeling that he had not seen it for a long time.

The Raven King who was standing at the highest point was alarmed, his “gugu” sound made Yang Junshan feel extremely annoyed, but the crows that were standing at the middle of the trees on both sides of the road all flew up, forming a black field that circled in the sky, causing Yang Junshan to feel as if the entire world had turned dark.

Yang Junshan was fearless, he slapped the storage bag on his waist, the Mountain Monarch Seal floated above his head, the magnetic light spread out in all directions with Yang Junshan as the center, covering an area of a hundred meters, and was completely absorbed into it.

Dozens of black crows that were flying low altitude passed the area covered by the magnetic light, as if they had suddenly carried a weight that far exceeded their own weight. They only had enough time to let ouoarse cry before falling from the sky.

“Caw — Caw —”

Following the Raven King’s loud cry, countless black crows circling in the sky formed a gigantic clockwise vortex in the sky above Yang Junshan, with the center of the vortex right above his head. There, a gigantic black crow was spiraling.

Yang Junshan snorted and jumped down from the Hunchbacked Beast, which was already overwhelmed, and said in a low voice: “Looks like we are going to delay our journey to the Heaven-Shaking Peak!”

“Roar ~ ~ Roar ~ ~ ~”

A tiger’s roar that shook the entire forest came from afar, and the orderly circling formation of the crows in the sky was immediately disrupted.

The Fire Crow King, who was in the middle of the whirlpool, let out an angry caw.

However, the tiger roar that came from the forest once again seemed to be even more furious and even carried an imposing aura. The formation of the crows in the sky became even more chaotic!

Helpless, the crow king finally let out a long cry, as if giving in. The horde of crows in the sky suddenly gave way, and the formation that had been trying its best to maintain collapsed. Countless crows scattered into the forest, and even the crow king disappeared.

The cultivators of the Heaven-Shaken Sect were rushing towards the south, but at the moment, they seemed to have met with trouble. Everyone was temporarily resting, and many of them looked to be in a state of panic or numbness.

“How is it? How much did you lose?” Adept Qing Shu asked witather calm tone, as if all the difficulties he was facing right now were not even in his eyes.

“Earlier, when the Heaven-Shaking Peak was collapsing, the group ran in droves for over forty times, and then suddenly encountered the attacks of twenty-six berserk beasts. After that, almost thirty disciples still secretly left the group. Although we are close to the Chenyu County now, we have lost nearly a hundred people!”

The Adept Qing Shu smiled and said: “Not bad, it’s much better than what I imagined. At least we still havundred and fifty disciples with us, and after this experience, the rest of the disciples will be the true backers for the Heaven-Shaken Sect!”

Thus, he did not know what to say. After thinking for a moment, he changed the topic and asked: “Senior Brother, what are those fierce beasts, how did they even make rabbits jump up to bite people? The disciples were all bitten, scratched, and even lost their lives without being prepared, this is too strange!”

The Adept Qing Shu did not answer him. Instead, he stood up and said: “Call all disciples up, those who are injured, and have orders to carry them. They have passed through the Chenyu County and met up with Senior Zhu and the others at the Jinyu County!”

“Then, will senior brother Wang Qian cause any problems for us?”

“He dares!” The Adept Qing Shu said coldly.
