Chapter 1207 1207: A Sixth-Tier Demonic Beast?
Ye Guichen remained unfazed.
Dealing with the City Lord of Yong'an City, Lingtian, had been rather difficult for him before.
But after that battle, Ye Guichen's cultivation had directly advanced to the fifth level of Qi Refinement.
Now facing the eighth level of Qi Refinement, Ye Guichen no longer needed Gui Tuo's help and felt no pressure at all.
"Bring it on!"
Ye Guichen stood firm, wielding the Immortal Slayer Sword, and slashed directly at the leopard with his first sword.
The leopard was incredibly fast, but Ye Guichen was just as swift.
This slash directly sliced off the leopard's jaw.
The leopard let out a painful cry, its body flipped sideways, tossing Bai Qi off its back.
With Bai Qi's body losing its support, the power of his strike immediately weakened.
Ye Guichen didn't hold back, once again wielding the Immortal Slayer Sword, "Slash of the Wind!"
Whoosh!
A sound of wind was heard.
The Immortal Slayer Sword seemed to generate blades of wind, roaring towards Bai Qi.
Bai Qi raised an eye brow, his face darkening. "I didn't expect you to be a master. A mere fifth level of Qi Refinement can fight me to this extent; I'm truly surprised. But if you think these little tricks can kill me, that's pure delusion!"
He not only didn't dodge, but also slashed back.
That slash actually extinguished Ye Guichen's sword qi.
A fierce wind seemed to explode around them, and all the trees within a hundred-meter radius were cut down.
Ren Wobai, who hadn't expected Ye Guichen to be able to defeat Bai Qi, looked at Ye Guichen in horror, glanced at Lu San and Lu Si, and said: "Is this Ye Sheng's cultivation so powerful?"
Lu San and Lu Si were also full of shock.
Isn't this guy a genius in alchemy?
Why is his cultivation so strong?
"Let's go down and help!" Seeing the opportune moment, the two dared not delay and immediately flew down, rushing to where Lu Yi and Lu Er were.
The soldiers began to resist.
But the gap between innate masters and Qi Refiners was still very evident.
Especially after a round of fierce fighting, many of these soldiers were injured.
After Lu San and Lu Si killed more than ten people, they quickly reached Lu Yi and Lu Er.
"Big brother, second brother, let's go!"
Lu San stepped forward to carry the injured Lu Er, "Big brother, fourth brother, protect me!"
Lu Yi and Lu Si protectively surrounded Lu San, swiftly charging towards the other side of the valley.
The soldiers wanted to stop them, but it was clearly a futile effort.
On Bai Qi's side, there was an even more dramatic turnaround.
When Ye Guichen unleashed the second sword, the sword qi seemed to solidify, ripping the saber right from Bai Qi's hand.
Bai Qi was finally moved, not expecting Ye Guichen's swordsmanship to be so formidable.
He quickly retreated over a hundred steps to a safe distance, glancing down at himself.
His armor was also torn by the previous sword qi, revealing his skin and flesh.
While shocked internally, he turned his gaze back to Ye Guichen: "Brother, with your skill, if you come with me to meet King Qi, I assure you a position as Great General, with wealth and status far above mine!"
Ye Guichen smiled and said: "I'm just passing through, and being a disciple of Dan God Sect, I'm not interested in your conflicts."
"A disciple of Dan God Sect?" Bai Qi was shocked again, "Some who practice alchemy are barely strong enough to harm a chicken, yet when did such a robust genius emerge like you?"
Ye Guichen didn't answer but instead asked, "Can you let us pass now?"
Bai Qi made a gesture of invitation: "My offer stands for you, today's fight has won my admiration. With your swordsmanship, you could certainly become a disciple of One Sword Supreme. If you wish, I can introduce you."
Ye Guichen was not interested in One Sword Supreme.
His master was the Carefree Sword Immortal, clearly more formidable than One Sword Supreme.
"I will consider it," Ye Guichen didn't outright refuse, noting Bai Qi waving his hand to signal his men to stand aside.
Ye Guichen saw Bai Qi's straightforwardness and that he wasn't preparing to ambush him, so he said to the Lu Family brothers, "You go first, I will follow with Brother Ren!"
This was to avoid being caught in one fell swoop.
The Lu Family brothers looked at Ye Guichen with gratitude.
"Take care!" The four said with no further ado and quickly ran towards the area away from Three Harmonies Valley.
Once they ran a distance away, Ye Guichen waved at Ren Wobai.
Ren Wobai walked up to Ye Guichen, his gaze as if he was looking at a stranger.
"Are you okay?" Ren Wobai asked.
Ye Guichen shook his head with a smile, "Regarding my cultivation, I hope Brother Ren can keep it a secret."
Ren Wobai hesitated. He originally wanted to ask that once the Sect Master knew of your cultivation, you'd surely be utilized, possibly even become an elder of Dan God Sect.
But on second thought, Ye Guichen could very likely be the Son of Nether Emperor, aiming for more than just a minor sect like Dan God Sect.
Moreover, he saved his life today.
After a brief pause, Ren Wobai nodded, "Rest assured."
"Let's go." Ye Guichen bowed to Bai Qi before swiftly running towards the distance.
Suddenly Bai Qi's voice was heard again from behind: "Brother, may I know your name?"
"Ye Sheng!" Ye Guichen replied.
"Brother Ye Sheng, I hope one day to meet you again," Bai Qi said loudly, "By the way, I want to remind you, the road ahead is dangerous; recently a six-tier beast has appeared nearby. Be extremely cautious if you encounter it!"
A six-tier beast is equivalent to a sixth-level Qi Refinement expert.
However, because of the beast's tough skin and flesh, and the difficulty of cultivation harder than humans, although its level is similar to the sixth level of Qi Refinement, its combat power could likely surpass even those at the eighth level.
Some six-tier beasts have even slain masters at the ninth level of Qi Refinement.
Although Ye Guichen had seen beasts before at Xianju Mountain, he was still unfamiliar with their ranks. Yet, he didn't ask directly, but instead replied: "Thanks!"
After leaving Three Harmonies Valley, everyone let out a long sigh of relief.
The four Lu family brothers knelt before Ye Guichen: "Thank you Brother Ye for the life-saving grace."
Ye Guichen helped them up: "We're all in this together, no need for such courtesy. But after returning, I hope you won't speak of my cultivation."
The four brothers glanced at each other and nodded.
Afterwards, Ye Guichen finally asked, "Earlier Bai Qi mentioned a six-tier beast, what is that?"
Ren Wobai replied: "A six-tier beast? I think it's unlikely; while our Dan God Sect has its merits, the highest grade beast that appears is only third-tier. Like Bai Qi's leopard, it's only a third-tier beast, never have we had a beast beyond sixth-tier."
"Furthermore, if such high-tier beasts did appear, King Qin and King Qi would surely try to obtain them, once tamed, it would be the equivalent of a …"
At this, Ren Wobai seemed to suddenly remember something, "Previously, people from King Qin and King Qi clashed in Three Harmonies Valley, could it truly be over a beast?"
He pondered and then shook his head, "No, this matter likely isn't that simple; better safe than sorry, we must report back to the sect and let the sect decide. If such high-tier beasts really do exist, our Dan God Sect must find a way to obtain them."
