Da Bai was planning to hide behind the rock until hero An Lin swooped in to save him.
However, his concealment spell technique was unfortunately not enough to fool the three elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect.
“Huh? Isn’t that Da Bai from the Four Nine Immortal Sect?” Daoist Priest Dong Xu, who was at the forefront of the three elders, looked down with a scorching expression at the miniature white dog hiding behind the rock.
He was a Soul Formation Intermediate Stage cultivator, and he possessed a pair of eyes that could pierce through illusions, so Da Bai’s concealment technique was naturally not enough to fool him. “His outward appearance has changed, but there’s no mistaking his aura!”
The other two elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect were extremely excited to hear this. “An opportunity like this only comes up once in a blue moon! We can capture him and give him to Sect Leader Yu Lang! Perhaps he would be able to lead us to the phoenix egg!”
“Exactly! We can take this core member of the Four Nine Immortal Sect as a hostage in exchange for the phoenix egg!” Daoist Priest Dong Xu cackled before slowly closing in on Da Bai.
Da Bai was on full-alert behind the rock, and his fur suddenly stood upon on end. His animalistic instincts told him that he was in danger, and he immediately transformed into a giant dog before running away!
The three Heavenly Demon Sect elders faltered upon seeing this. They had obscured their auras before closing in on Da Bai, but it appeared that he was still somehow able to detect their presence.
“Hehe, do you really think you can run away from us? Chase him down!”
Daoist Priest Dong Xu issued a command, and all of the Heavenly Demon Sect elders unleashed their auras before transforming into three streaks of black light as they flew toward Da Bai with frightening power and speed.
Da Bai turned pale with fright upon seeing his three enemies, and he unleashed his Heavenly Wolf inheritance as he fled with all his might.
His assailants consisted of three Soul Formation Stage cultivators! There was no way he could beat all three of them!
A black energy blast pierced through the air before crashing toward Da Bai.
Da Bai executed some high-difficulty acrobatic maneuvers in the air, allowing him to just barely evade the enemy’s attack.
The black energy blast missed Da Bai by centimeters before crashing into a mountain, where it instantly left a massive crater over a hundred meters in radius.
Phew… that was close…
Da Bai heaved a light sigh of relief. If he was struck by an energy blast as powerful as that, he was probably going to be severely wounded.
“Oh? I didn’t think you would be so nimble and agile.” Daoist Priest Dong Xu cackled with a sinister expression as he waved a hand to materialize nine black energy blasts in the air beside him.
Each energy blast was equivalent to the full-force strike of a Soul Formation Stage cultivator, and all nine black energy blasts shot forth toward Da Bai at once, leaving menacing trails of black light in their paths.
Da Bai’s body trembled as he continued to execute a sequence of evasive acrobatic maneuvers.
Boom boom boom…
One energy blast after the other missed their target.
It had to be said, even though Da Bai’s figure wasn’t exactly slim, he was super agile.
Perhaps it was because he had been ridden a lot by An Lin, but he knew all sorts of poses that allowed him to evade all of Daoist Priest Dong Xu’s attacks.
Even Daoist Priest Dong Xu’s expression shifted minutely upon seeing this.
However, whenever Da Bai dodged an attack, his speed of retreat would inevitably be slowed down, and the two other Heavenly Demon Sect elders took advantage of his faltering speed to close in on him. Black chains shot forth from their palms before whistling through the air toward Da Bai like two bolts of black lightning.
Da Bai was unable to evade, and one of his back paws was caught by a chain. The fearsome restrictive power halted all his momentum, and the other two elders managed to gain on him rapidly.
Da Bai reacted quickly at this moment. He turned around, and his aura instantly soared as he lashed out with his Chaotic Sky-Crushing Claw.
Blue saber projections pierced through the air before tearing into an elder’s body as an expression of shock and horror lingered on his face.
Blood spurted forth, and the elder let loose an anguished wail before staging a frantic retreat.
Another elder flashed toward Da Bai while wielding a longsword, which exuded a sense of fearsome sharpness!
Clang!
A crisp collision sounded, and the elder’s pupils contracted upon discovering that his longsword had struck a seemingly-indestructible barrier of golden light.
This was the Shield of Promised Victory that An Lin had gifted Da Bai, which would allow him to keep one lethal attack at bay.
Da Bai took this opportunity to lash out with his claws again.
The sharp Chaotic Sky-Crushing Claw sliced through the elder’s chest. It severely wounded him as it sent him flying back in retreat.
Da Bai, who was only at the pinnacle of Spirit Nurturing Stage, was able to severely wound two Soul Formation Initial Stage elders!
“Filthy beast! How dare you injured the elders of our sect!” Daoist Priest Dong Xu arrived on the scene. He was both shocked and enraged by the fact that the high and mighty elders of the Heavenly Demon Sect had been wounded by a Spirit Nurturing Stage dog! This was a massive disgrace to him!
Daoist Priest Dong Xu’s fists glowed with black light as his black sealing domain swept toward Da Bai and immobilized his body.
Boom!
His fist exuded a frightening killing intent as it landed on Da Bai, causing his body to cave in.
“Howl…”
Da Bai howled with pain as a mouthful of blood mixed with fragments of internal organs spewed forth from his mouth.
Even if he had a powerful bloodline to strengthen his body, the full-force strike of a Soul Formation Intermediate Stage cultivator was too strong to be endured by a Spirit Nurturing Final Stage creature like him.
Da Bai’s body plummeted to the ground, where it left a massive crater.
“Hmph! Who gave you the guts to injure the elders of our sect!” Daoist Priest Dong Xu descended upon Da Bai with an eerie killing intent emanating from his body as his inky-black domain swirled around him.
“Who gave me my guts? Of course it was my parents! Woof!” Da Bai lay in the center of the crater, but there was no hint of surrender on his face.
“Elder Dong Xu, why don’t we torture this accursed beast before tying him up?” One of the severely wounded elders glowered at Da Bai with a malicious expression.
“Great idea! Let me vent my rage on him first! I can’t just take this sitting down!” the other elder chimed in.
For high and mighty Soul Formation Stage cultivators to be severely wounded like this by a Spirit Nurturing Stage dog was simply unacceptable to them.
They had to avenge themselves!
Da Bai’s body trembled. “Aren’t you afraid of An Lin taking revenge on you for treating me like this? Aren’t you afraid of the wrath of the Four Nine Immortal Sect? Woof!”
The two elders faltered slightly before chortling with mirth.
“Has this filthy beast had his cognitive functions impaired from fear? We’re going to use you as a hostage in exchange for the phoenix egg, so we’re naturally not afraid of their vengeance!”
“Revenge from the Four Nine Immortal Sect is nothing compared to the phoenix egg!”
The elder’s smile suddenly froze on his face as one of his arms was dismembered before flying through the air, immediately following which a fountain of blood gushed forth.
The other elder’s mouth gaped open, and he didn’t even have a chance to react before a figure appeared before him. Before he knew it, he had been punched into the ground as a foot stepped down his chest, instantly shattering all his ribs!
“Do you dare to say that again?” a voice that sounded like it came from the depths of hell asked.
Daoist Priest Dong Xu trembled uncontrollably as he sensed the fearsome might emanating from their assailant.
The two elders looked up in shock and horror at their assailant. They were unable to utter even a single word.
Tears of elation and relief streaked down Da Bai’s face as he roared, “Big Brother An! You’re finally f*cking here!”
