A thin sword vapor shot out from the finger. It cut through the air and shattered the light from the ax.
Although Chen Jingzhai was still not proficient with it yet, he was still able to shatter the attack and it gave him confidence.
In the end, he had yet to enter the Golden Sage Plane but was only in the Complete Foundation Plane.
Even if he had mastered the sword’s will, he could only enhance the sharpness of his sword vapor.
If he really wanted to use the full power of the sword’s will, he had to be in the Golden Core Plane.
However, it was more than enough to defeat the powerful bull demonic beast in front of him.
Chen Jingzhai notified everyone to stay put with telepathy and attacked right after that.
He manifested a burning long sword and thrust it towards the demonic beast.
The beast grinned as his eyes turned red before smashing the sword with his giant ax.
The sword was broken into pieces as if it was a piece of glass.
Just as the demonic beast was ready to charge at Chen Jingzhai, the flame from the swords gathered and formed a rope, wrapping itself around the bull’s neck.
It then extended towards the beast’s arms and legs. The intense heat from it burned the bull so bad that the aroma of grilled beef quickly filled the air.
Chen Jingzhai had already reached a state where he could freely control the five elements spell.
He could disperse it or gather it whenever he wanted. The spell could take on any form and could disappear without a trace if he wanted.
The young man looked at the beast that was struggling and gently flicked his finger.
A mud wall erupted from the ground and rose to the air.
Once it was high up enough, Chen Jingzhai flicked his finger again and the wall was brought down towards the beast.
The moment the wall hit the ground, a loud bang could be heard. It sounded as if a comet had hit the planet and it caused the entire area to shake.
The rest of the party smiled when they saw that, but those smiles did not last long.
A loud roar echoed throughout the forest.
Chen Jingzhai watched with his widened eyes as dense demonic power gathered around the beast.
It had forcefully got itself free from the flame rope and even cut the mud wall with its ax.
“Parlor tricks! Die!” With another loud roar, the beast waved its ax towards Chen Jingzhai.
In the end, the beast had already gathered its core and normal attacks would not be able to take it down.
Using spells was a great idea, but the firepower wasn’t enough.
Chen Jingzhai sighed but didn’t mind his failure. He quickly formed a sign with his finger.
Thick vines and roots began to come out from the ground.
They swiftly wrapped themselves around the beast’s legs and continued to climb up towards its torso.
The beast almost tripped because of that.
When it had regained its stability, its body was already covered in vines.
The beast kept struggling, trying to get rid of the thing tying it down.
Anger filled its eyes as a bloody red aura surrounded its body.
A few seconds later, the sound of trees breaking could be heard.
The vines started to crack one after another.
The aura enveloped its body as if it could be touched.
Chen Jingzhai finally showed signs of surprise in his eyes and he quickly checked the beast’s information.
Name: Giant Horn Bull
Strength: Intermediate Golden Core Plane
Detail: An elite of the Giant Rhino Tribe. It is part of a new generation of the tribe’s genius talents. It has forfeited the immense strength and huge body talents and chose the Crazed Bull bloodline power instead.
Flaw: Voice spells, illusion spells, and rage.
Chen Jingzhai was speechless when he saw the information.
He couldn’t believe that it had so many flaws, more than he had ever expected.
The biggest thing he had found out was that the beast had the rage flaw as well.
That would mean that the beast would make a good mount.
Chen Jingzhai immediately got excited and snapped his fingers.
An illusion quickly covered the beast and it stopped struggling immediately.
However, groans and mumbles could still be heard from the beast.
It now looked like a child who was just punished and had their head lowered.
Chen Jingzhai approached the beast and slapped its forehead.
The bull fainted right away without even the slightest hint of resisting.
Everyone looked at each other dumbfoundedly after witnessing that. Not a single one of them had expected that Chen Jingzhai could take down the bull demonic beast so easily.
Chen Jingzhai then swiftly took out a Beast Taming Card with the same motion he had done a lot of times and absorbed the beast into the last intermediate Grade 3 Beast Taming Card. The whole process went extremely smoothly.
“Master Uncle!” Kong Guang couldn’t help but exclaim.
“Let’s go.” Chen Jingzhai grinned. “We should keep moving.”
“How did you do that?” Miao Yun asked.
“It’s just an illusion.” With a wave of his arm, the bull demonic beast appeared in front of them again.
However, this time, it didn’t have a human body anymore. It had turned into a six feet tall and eight feet long rhino. It had three horns on its forehead with a miniature ax hanging from them.
Chen Jignzhai then took a spirit item-grade rope out and roped it over the beast’s neck before jumping onto it to ride it. Ni Honger, the Illusion Light Rat, also ran up to the rhino and sat on its master’s shoulder.
“Damn! He looks good riding that!” Wang Yao exclaimed, eager to ride the beast as well.
“This is amazing!” Kong Guang mumbled. He knew that he could do what Chen Jingzhai had just done so easily.
As everyone was staring at the beast, it got uncomfortable.
“I’ll only let master ride me!” the beast finally said.
Disappointment could be seen on everyone’s face. There was no way they wouldn’t want to try riding such a great mount.
Although it was tamed, the beast was still a powerful demonic beast. No one dared to oppose it.
Now, everyone shifted their attention to how amazing Chen Jingzhai was.
Not only the disciples of the Luo Sheng Sword School were looking at their Master Uncle with respect, but the disciples from the other two clans had newfound respect toward him as well.
He was someone who had tamed a powerful demonic beast, and he did it nonchalantly.
They were sure that they wouldn’t be able to do the same thing even if they were in the Golden Core Plane.
That was when people started to accept Chen Jingzhai for his status.
Even the Golden Core Sages were excited. All of them talked to Chen Jingzhai through telepathy.
They could tell that Chen Jingzhai had used an illusion spell on the beast, but they were shocked by its effect.
As Chen Jingzhai was still in the Foundation Establishment Plane, it was impossible for his illusion to affect a powerful demonic beast who had taken a human form.
They had never heard of such a thing happening, and yet, they had just witnessed one.
The Golden Core Sages were all once again surprised at what Chen Jingzhai had just done.
These sages couldn’t keep their calm as all of them wanted to know the Master Uncle’s secret.
However, Chen Jingzhai only mentioned that it was an illusion but did not explain what illusion it was.
The party continued to move through the forest, but this time, something had changed.
Chen Jignzhai was now in the lead, riding his newly tamed mount.
On the other hand, Sage Xu and Sage Lu Tao were traveling at the back of the party.
Perhaps because Chen Jignzhai had managed to defeat and tame a powerful demonic beast, the team was in high spirit.
The pressure that had surrounded the team from Miao Fa getting poisoned was now gone. Everyone had regained their confidence.
“You sure have something to surprise all the time. How did you find out its weakness?” Miao Yun asked Chen Jingzhai with telepathy.
“I was lucky,” Chen Jingzhai replied. “Focus. We are still inside the beast’s territory. Me taming one of their best talents might have angered them.”
“If you knew that it would anger them, why did you still do it?” Miao Yun asked.
“We still have to test if we can do this or not, right?” Chen Jingzhai grinned. “If we can lure the demonic king out with this, then it’s definitely worth doing it. If not, then we might have a hard time ahead.”
Miao Yun was able to immediately understand what he meant and quickly relay the message to the rest of the sages.
There were no changes in the sages’ expressions, but they were all in high alert mode.
After a few minutes, they were surrounded by trees once again. The trees now were so huge that it would take a few people to surround one.
As they continued to move forward, an ax suddenly flew towards them out of nowhere.
Chen Jingzhai was prepared and the Black-face Humanoid Puppet kicked the ax away.
More than 30 axes followed after that, all aimed at Chen Jingzhai and his mount.
The group immediately sprung into action, taking down as many axes as they could.
Chen Jingzhai was now standing on top of the beast while he controlled his puppet to block the attacks.
All 39 axes were deflected and not a single one of them was hurt.
“Here they come!” Miao Fa announced with a serious expression.
The party quickly spotted 20 powerful demonic beasts that had taken human forms in front of them.
Every one of them was unique and the two beasts leading them had huge bodies and sharp horns.
“The Giant Rhino Tribe never bows down to others! Either you let our friend go or we’ll kill you!” one of the leaders yelled at Chen Jingzhai.
“The rule of the ancient path has stated that you demonic beasts can only send out as many cultivators as we have. Are you ready to face the consequences of breaking the rule? Do you really think you can pressure us with sheer numbers?” Chen Jingzhai coldly asked.
