The Nine Cauldrons
chapter-517

It was August, the time when the trees in the Great Yan Mountain flourished. The sky was covered with gloomy clouds and rumbles of thunder rang out. However, there was no sight of rain. For a moment, the Great Yan Mountain felt very depressing as the roars of many wild beasts could be heard.

Whoosh!

The Six Legged Bladelike Chi flew close to the surface of the earth and rapidly fled into the Great Yan Mountain.

"Emperor Yu's Hall really seeks revenge for the smallest grievance." Teng Qingshan knew clearly that this was a moment of life or death. "Oh, no! The Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon is so fast!" Teng Qingshan could detect within his domain that the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon, who was carrying the three Emptiness Realm Experts, had already caught up.

The Six-Eared Earth-Drilling Mouse was also catching up as it pursued rapidly in the forest.

Teng Qingshan turned and his expression immediately changed drastically—

At a distance of a hundred Zhang away, Shengong Tu of the Shooting Sun God Mountain could be seen standing on the back of the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon. At this moment, Shengong Tu had already drawn the ancient godly bow into the shape of a full moon. Faint, colorful radiances swirled on the bow.

The arrow looked very familiar. The cold glint of the special arrowhead sent chills down his spine.

Shengong Tu was glaring coldly at Teng Qingshan.

"Oh, no, it is the Void Piercing Arrow!"

Teng Qingshan hastily directed the Six Legged Bladelike Chi and said, "Bladelike Chi, underground!" However, because Teng Qingshan didn't speak the Language of Beasts, he was not able to give instructions as fast as the speed of Shengong Tu's arrows.

As Shengong Tu drew the bow, his imposing manner reached the pinnacle.

Yu Tonghai, who was behind Shengong Tu, sneered and muttered, "Jing Yi, this time you will definitely die."

"Buzz!"

Shen Gongtu's eyes flashed like lightning. He released his right grip and the Void Piercing Arrow instantly disappeared from the bow. Even with Teng Qingshan's eyesight and reaction speed, he couldn't see the arrow. All he could see was the golden-colored afterimage.

With the use of his domain, he could detect the terrifying arrow that contained the Power of the Heavens and Earth. Teng Qingshan immediately reacted with a step forward and blocked his body with the use of the Splitting Mountain Axe.

"Clang!"

The Void Piercing Arrow struck the Splitting Mountain Axe. Instantly, the terrifying Void Piercing Arrow turned into dust. Simultaneously, due to the impact, blood flowed out of the hands that gripped the Splitting Mountain Axe.

"Rumble~~~"

Teng Qingshan had no strength to resist against the terrifying force of the Void Piercing Arrow. He could only hear the howling of the wind beside his ears as his entire body flew off the back of the Six Legged Bladelike Chi. He had no control of his own body. "Bang! Bang!" A series of loud noises rang out as his body crashed and broke through the huge trees. After flying past a large amount of plants, scraping past the edge of a small hill, and crushing many huge rocks, Teng Qingshan tumbled and finally stopped.

"He actually survived."

"Jing Yi's axe must have been refined by an Insightful Emptiness Realm Expert." Yu Tonghai and Liu Xia were astonished as they watched Teng Qingshan fly out into the air. The Martial Ancestor of Emperor Yu's Hall wielded an axe. Therefore, many Emptiness Realm Experts in the later generations of Emperor Yu's Hall also used axes.

Although Emperor Yu's Hall already had powerful axes, it wouldn't hurt to collect one more. In fact, they would love to collect more.

"I must take it later," Liu Xia thought to himself.

"That arrow sent Jing Yi flying. This arrow will kill the Bladelike Chi." While Teng Qingshan was flying backwards and while the Six Legged Bladelike Chi was flying towards Teng Qingshan, Shengong Tu drew his bow again and fired another Void Piercing Arrow! The first arrow blasted Teng Qingshan and the second arrow would kill the Six Legged Bladelike Chi.

This was all part of his plan.

"Whew." Teng Qingshan finally stood firmly on his feet. He then turned to look.

"Roar~~" The Six Legged Bladelike Chi was rapidly flying towards Teng Qingshan. It fixed its blood-red eyes on Teng Qingshan. Anxiousness could be seen in its eyes. As a proud and lonely demonic beast, the Six Legged Bladelike Chi rarely acknowledged other demonic beasts, not to mention humans.

However, if it did acknowledge that living being, it would view that living being as its true friend! Its true buddy!

Now it wished to save Teng Qingshan!

"Bladelike Chi, watch out." Teng Qingshan's expression changed drastically as he quickly shouted to the Bladelike Chi with the use of the Sound Transmission Technique.

Shengong Tu, who had drawn his bow once again, stared at the Six Legged Bladelike Chi coldly. A rainbow-colored glow enveloped the bow in his hand and condensed on the Void Piercing Arrow. The Void Piercing Arrow shone a golden-colored glint and the cold-looking arrowhead shone a freezing and intimidating glow.

Shengong Tu curved the corner of his mouth up as he released his right grip.

Buzz!

The Void Piercing Arrow instantly disappeared from the bow.

When the Six Legged Bladelike Chi sensed the attack of a fierce aura behind, it was prepared. Instantly, its wings vibrated and its body duplicated.

"Puchi!"

The Void Piercing Arrow instantly penetrated the frontal left wing of the Six Legged Bladelike Chi and pierced through the black scales on the left side of its body. The arrowhead then emerged from the Six Legged Bladleike Chi's shoulder.

"Roar~~" Painful roars sounded. The Six Legged Bladelike Chi's body tilted and it crashed onto a huge tree. The tree smashed onto the ground and turned into pieces. The wings that were even more trenchant than blades scraped past some trees and plants and broke those trees and plants.

"Bladelike Chi!" Teng Qingshan's facial expression changed drastically.

"Quick, go underground," Teng Qingshan screamed as he pointed towards the ground.

However, at this moment, Shengong Tu, who stood in the air on the back of the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon, drew his bow again and attempted to shoot the third arrow.

"ChiChi~" The Six Legged Bladelike Chi wasn't stupid. After it pushed down a large amount of trees, it immediately brandished its six bladelike legs and rapidly disappeared underground. This time, although the Bladelike Chi was shot, it was able to dodge fairly quickly. Therefore, the Void Piercing Arrow didn't strike its vital points. However, with its wings injured, its flying speed and nimbility would be greatly affected.

"Brother Liu and Brother Tonghai, go with the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon and kill Jing Yi. I will deal with that Bladelike Chi," Shengong Tu said confidently.

With this—

Whoosh!

Shengong Tu immediately flew onto the back the Six-Eared Earth-Drilling Mouse, who had rushed over rapidly. As Shengong Tu understood the Language of Beasts, he roared softly to the Six-Eared Earth-Drilling Mouse. And so, the Six-Eared Earth-Drilling Mouse drilled into the ground and went after the wounded Six Legged Bladelike Chi.

"Oh, no."

The expression of Teng Qingshan, who was nearby, changed as he muttered, "The Bladelike Chi's drilling speed is already not on par with that of the Six-Eared Earth-Drilling Mouse. Now that the Bladelike Chi is injured, if the Six-Eared Earth-Drilling Mouse and Shengong Tu work together… Shengong Tu!!!" Teng Qingshan felt a deep hatred. If it weren't for Shengong Tu, it would be impossible for any Emptiness Realm Culmination Expert to kill the Bladelike Chi.

"Haha, Brother Jing Yi, let us brothers accompany you through the last moments of your journey." The Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon, Liu Xie, and Yu Tonghai had already rushed forward, bringing along a strong gust of wind and a great amount of crushed trees and thorns.

"Kill me?"

Teng Qingshan flew rapidly in the forest. Ever since he entered the Great Yan Mountain, he was heading to a specific destination. The place was the Frost Jade Pool. This was because the Demonic Dragon and the Golden Dragon Turtle resided at the bottom of the Frost Jade Pool.

"Still thinking of escaping? Haha, Jing Yi, you should know that it is not that easy to take the Godly Armor that belongs to Emperor Yu's Hall." Yu Tonghai's arrogant laughter sounded in Teng Qingshan's ears. At this very moment, the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon had already arrived above Teng Qingshan.

"Oh, no!" Immediately, Teng Qingshan dove underground.

"Whoosh!"

The green-eyed Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon opened its shark beak and a shapeless concealed weapon that looked like a sharp spike made of air instantly flew towards Teng Qingshan.

"Hmph." Immediately, Teng Qingshan took the Splitting Mountain Axe and held it above him.

A "Bang!" sounded.

The blast of the concealing weapon had scraped off the patterns on the surface of Teng Qingshan's Splitting Mountain Axe, leaving only the patterns on the handle and the back side of the axe. However, during this intense battle, no one would pay any attention to the patterns on the Godly Axe. They only knew that…Teng Qingshan had been blasted underground.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Liu Xia, holding a war axe, and Yu Tonghai, holding a trenchant sword, jumped underground as though they were diving into water.

Puchi! Puchi! The two had already began drilling rapidly.

"He blocked the Void Piercing Arrow and the attack of the Wind Splitting Dragon Falcon. Even though he didn't die, his arms must have been wounded by the impact," Yu Tonghai said with the use of the Sound Transmission Technique. "Martial Brother Liu… This time, it all depends on us two. Let's see who will kill Jing Yi first."

"Alright."

Yu Tonghai and Liu Xia then engaged on rapid pursuit underground.

...

However, at this very moment, another intense pursuit was also happening in another place underground. Although the Six Legged Bladelike Chi relied on its six bladelike limbs and moved underground nimbly, the Six-Eared Earth-Drilling Mouse was still catching up. The Six-Eared Earth-Drilling Mouse was only fifty Zhang away, and the distance was still decreasing.

"Hmph, you evil beast. You will definitely die this time."

Shengong Tu drew his Godly Bow again and the Power of the Heavens and Earth gathered on the Godly Bow, integrating in a peculiar manner. A portion of the Power of the Heavens and Earth turned invisible and condensed on the bow string, while the other portion formed a golden-colored power and gathered on the Void Piercing Arrow. Shengong Tu drew the arrow and closed his eyes.

He could distinctly sense the vigorous aura located forty Zhang ahead.

"It's there!"

Without caring at all, Shengong Tu fired the arrow below the center of that aura.

Whew!

Since it was a short distance of forty Zhang, the dirt and dust had almost no influence on the Void Piercing Arrow. Instantly, the Void Piercing Arrow had pierced through… As the Six Legged Bladelike Chi was underground, its dodging speed was apparently not as fast as when it was dodging in the air. Furthermore, because the Void Piercing Arrow was too close, the Six Legged Bladelike Chi could only flap its wings—

Puchi!

The Void Piercing Arrow penetrated the frontal wing and the scales of the Six Legged Bladelike Chi and pierced through its chest.

This strike…

Was almost fatal!

"Roar~" The Six Legged Bladelike Chi emitted a painful cry. In fact, it sounded like a mournful scream. Walls~ Daunting, green-colored blood seeped out from the Six Legged Bladelike Chi's teeth. Rage, pain, and madness could be seen in its blood red eyes.

...

Teng Qingshan, who was forced underground, also drilled rapidly towards the Bladelike Chi. With the use of his domain, he could distinctly sense the terrifying Void Piercing Arrow hitting the Six Legged Bladelike Chi.

"Roar~~" When Teng Qingshan heard the painful cry, his facial expression changed. He felt as though his heart had been forcefully pierced by a sword.

Pain!

Guilt!

The Six Legged Bladelike Chi had followed him without asking for much. It had only watched him practice the fist art and went on to ponder on its own Dao. However, now he had caused the Six Legged Bladelike Chi to fall into such desperate state…

"Bladelike Chi! Bladelike Chi! No!"

Teng Qingshan grimaced. An intense desire to destroy filled his heart. "Emperor Yu's Hall! Emperor Yu's Hall! I, Teng Qingshan, won't forget this!!!"

Rumble!

Teng Qingshan rushed towards the Six Legged Bladelike Chi as he shouted, "You can't die! Bladelike Chi! You can't die!"
