  “Damn, I really never thought these mountain valleys contained wind spirit stones. We probably missed a lot of them on the way because we weren’t paying attention.” The other Chosen sighed, but it was too late for regrets.

  This discovery filled them all with regret. But going back the way they had come just for wind spirit stones wasn’t too efficient. It was better to continue onwards.

  “Ah, there’s wind, and it’s a very bizarre wind.”

  The three of them had continued several miles onwards and had also obtained several more wind spirit stones when they suddenly felt fluctuations in the air.

  Another wind spirit stone shot through the air. However, this time it was flying higher up in the air. Zhao Mingshan had hastily jumped up to catch it.

  “I understand. These wind spirit stones were blown out by the wind from deeper within these mountain valleys! Let’s go take a look!” Han Tianfeng was shocked by this discovery, and the three of them quickly rushed in deeper.

  Long Chen had long since entered deeper within the mountain valleys. Occasionally, he would use his Spiritual Strength to throw out some more wind spirit stones. He sighed in relief when he saw that he had finally led them on the right path.

  He had spent thirty wind spirit stones, all to feed these dogs. No, he couldn’t put it like that, or Little Snow wouldn’t be happy.

  Well, in any case, as a person, he had to have a charitable heart. This would have to count as one of his good deeds. Now that the three of them were already on the right track, Long Chen was no longer so charitable and began to rush in deeper.

  Once he reached the area with that small mountain made of wind spirit stones, Long Chen looked around and found a narrow opening on the side of a mountain valley. This little opening faced the opposite direction of where the three of them would eventually enter from, so they wouldn’t be able to see him from there.

  “The heavens really are helping me.” Long Chen celebrated and carefully moved towards that opening. Once he was inside, he was extremely satisfied with his position.

  This spot was very concealed, and he could stealthily sneak peeks over to the entrance from here. He could also see that terrifying Barbaric Wind Beast behind the mountain.

  The Barbaric Wind Beast was still lying there with its eyes closed, seeming deeply asleep.

  Long Chen had just hidden himself when the three of them arrived here by following Long Chen’s guidance. Seeing that mountain of wind spirit stones, as well as that huge wind spirit stone on the top, the three of them all turned lifeless.

  “Wind… Wind Spirit Crystal!”

  Han Tianfeng was filled with disbelief, and a fanatical expression appeared in his eyes. Even his voice trembled slightly.

  Long Chen was startled. So this thing was actually called a Wind Spirit Crystal. As expected, those who came from powerful backgrounds had more knowledge of such things.

  “This is a legendary Wind Spirit Crystal?” Finding such a treasure, Zhao Mingshan and the other Chosen felt as if they were dreaming.

  “This Wind Spirit Crystal contains terrifying energy. However, as long as we don’t end up activating that energy, we’ll still be able to gather it. Let’s go get it first,” said Han Tianfeng.

  “Brother Tianfeng, let us do it.”

  Seeing that treasure, the other two Chosen knew that this Wind Spirit Crystal would belong one hundred percent to Han Tianfeng.

  If they dared try to get a share of such a treasure, Han Tianfeng would definitely immediately turn hostile and kill them.

  The two of them were both smart and wouldn’t do something so stupid. No matter how good a treasure was, they still needed their lives to enjoy the treasure.

  Since they obviously wouldn’t be able to obtain the treasure, they could at least display their loyalty. Obtaining Han Tianfeng’s trust was the most tangible benefit.

  Han Tianfeng nodded in praise when he saw that the two of them were so sensible. These two subordinates of his were pretty smart and worth raising.

  However, in order to avoid any unexpected mishaps, he followed behind the two of them. But he also maintained a certain distance to display his trust.

  When they were three hundred meters from the mountain, even while holding heavy weapons, they were still unable to stay steady in the face of the wild gales. The two Chosen had to release their full auras to continue.

  However, Han Tianfeng hadn’t done anything. Even without releasing his aura, he was still able to steadily advance.

  “As expected, he really is powerful. Furthermore, his cultivation technique is a bit special.”

  Long Chen could see all of this clearly from his hiding spot. Although Han Tianfeng hadn’t released his aura, his spiritual qi was rapidly circulating in his body.

  Long Chen could sense that there was a strange energy being released from Han Tianfeng’s feet that was keeping him solidly attached to the ground. It was as if he had grown roots, and the wind was unable to move him.

  Long Chen kept a close eye on the huge Barbaric Wind Beast. However, what infuriated him was that this huge lump of meat was still sleeping.

  “Fuck, what time is it and you’re still sleeping?! Your treasure’s about to be stolen!” Long Chen started to feel some worry.

  The two Chosen had already reached the bottom of the mountain of wind spirit stones. But the Barbaric Wind Beast still hadn’t woken up.

  “What the hell, are you hibernating or something? Hurry up and wake up! If I had known it would be like this, I would have already taken it!”

  Han Tianfeng saw that the other two Chosen had practically gone crazy with delight and were currently gathering those wind spirit stones that made up the mountain.

  “Ignore the wind spirit stones and go collect the Wind Spirit Crystal.”

  Those wind spirit stones were all stuck to each other, and separating them was time-consuming. That was why Han Tianfeng spoke out in a displeased tone.

  The two Chosen couldn’t help but feel a bit dissatisfied. They knew this huge Wind Spirit Crystal wouldn’t be theirs, so these wind spirit stones were their only harvest. However, since Han Tianfeng had already given them the order, they had no choice but to give up collecting them. They began climbing up the mountain.

  Seeing that the two of them would reach the top of the mountain in a short time, Long Chen was completely infuriated. He stealthily took out the golden page. It seemed he would have to wake up the sleeping beast.

  The two Chosen were just about to reach the peak as they bitterly resisted the terrifying wind energy being released by the Wind Spirit Crystal. As for Long Chen, he was just about to activate his Spiritual Strength.

  At that moment, two large eyes slowly opened. The vertical pupils in those eyes twinkled with a dreadful light.

  Chapter 347 Terrifying Barbaric Wind Beast

  “Damn, this Wind Spirit Crystal is stuck to the mountain.” Zhao Mingshan and the other Chosen were using spiritual qi to protect themselves from the wind. But when they tried to move the Wind Spirit Crystal, which was as tall as they were, they found that they were unable to budge it.

  Wind Spirit Crystals contained wind energy, and so its weight wasn’t actually that heavy. And yet, no matter how hard they tried, they were unable to displace it. It was as if it were growing out of the mountain.

  “Then how about we cut it down?” A sword appeared in Zhao Mingshan’s hand.

  “No!” Down below, Han Tianfeng’s expression changed and he hastily stopped them. “You absolutely cannot. If you end up attacking the Wind Spirit Crystal and activating the energy inside, we’ll all be dead.”

  As a Chosen from the first monastery, Han Tianfeng’s knowledge surpassed other Chosen, and he was aware of some taboos regarding this Wind Spirit Crystal.

  If the two of them used their spiritual qi to attack it, then that would make an opening for the violent energy inside it, and it would be like a flood erupting out of a dam. The terrifying energy would instantly annihilate anyt
hing within thousands of miles.

  That kind of terrifying energy was something even Xiantian experts would be unable to block. As for the three of them, they would instantly be turned to dust. That was why Han Tianfeng had been so scared when he saw Zhao Mingshan take out a blade.

  “Then what should we do?” Zhao Mingshan didn’t dare move, never having expected the Wind Spirit Crystal to be so terrifying.

  But when he looked down, he saw that Han Tianfeng’s expression was paper-white, his eyes filled with terror. “You… you two…”

  The two Chosen were startled. What had happened for a top expert to become so speechless?

  “You two… behind you…” Han Tianfeng finally stuttered out.

  The two hastily turned to look behind the mountain. But when they saw that huge figure, they instantly turned stiff.

  A huge head was right in front of them. Because it was too huge, they couldn’t even see what its body looked like.

  Two eyes that were as large as houses stared at them. The icy light shining from them made the two Chosen feel as if they had landed in an icehouse.

  Hurry up and run you idiots! Seeing that those two idiots were still stunned, Long Chen involuntarily felt some worry.

  These two idiots! What kind of time was it for them to be daydreaming? They had to be holy warriors amongst idiots. For them to not immediately run in the face of a fifth rank Magical Beast, were they waiting for it to say hello?

  Long Chen didn’t really care about their lives. In fact, that hatred he had felt towards them had also lessened greatly. What he wanted was that Wind Spirit Crystal.

  That Wind Spirit Crystal contained extremely clear wind mysteries, and if Tang Wan-er could comprehend those, she would definitely be able to soar in power.

  Although neither he nor Tang Wan-er had ever expressed certain kinds of feelings towards each other, they both knew they were present in each other’s hearts. These kinds of feelings didn’t need to be expressly spoken.

  To obtain this Wind Spirit Crystal, Long Chen had forced himself to lay down his hatred and gift these people his wind spirit stones. Ah, he really had sacrificed a great deal for Tang Wan-er.

  But these two idiots were still just staring blankly at this time. If they were instantly killed by this Barbaric Wind Beast, wouldn’t all his efforts have been wasted?

  “Run!” Han Tianfeng roared, and without even thinking about it, he turned and fled. He had recognized the Barbaric Wind Beast.

  As for Zhao Mingshan and the other Chosen, they finally recovered from their terror and began to flee with all their might.

  The Barbaric Wind Beast watched as they jumped off the mountain and rushed several miles away. Then it suddenly opened its mouth and a large wind net shot out.

  “Nice! It purposely waited to attack to avoid damaging the mountain.” Long Chen had seen through the Barbaric Wind Beast’s intent.

  The Barbaric Wind Beast’s mouth opened to a size of dozens of meters. The wind net it shot out was highly condensed and didn’t end up changing shape as it shot out.

  The wind net was like lightning, instantly arriving behind the three of them. Seeing that they couldn’t get away, Zhao Mingshan and the other Chosen all erupted with their greatest strength, runes lighting up all over their bodies. Their swords slashed out behind them.

  The distant Long Chen was horrified by what he saw. Their weapons instantly exploded when they collided with the wind net.

  The wind net wasn’t impacted in the slightest. It directly swept over the two of them, making them explode into pieces.

  In front of that huge net, these two powerful Chosen were like ants without the slightest ability to resist.

  That gave Long Chen a fright. At the same time, he rejoiced that he hadn’t dared to go provoke that Barbaric Wind Beast.

  “To dare challenge the Barbaric Wind Beast, these two really were brave.” Seeing the sky full of blood mist, Long Chen muttered some praise. Unfortunately, those two had already died, and they didn’t get to hear Long Chen’s sarcasm.

  Han Tianfeng was horrified to see the two people behind him be instantly killed. Since he couldn’t get away, he suddenly roared, and countless runes appeared between his hands. He slammed them down on the earth.

  “Great Earthen Walls!”

  Following his shout, Long Chen was surprised to see a dirt-yellow mark appear on his forehead. A total of nine walls of rock shot out of the ground.

  Each one of those walls was three meters thick and thirty meters tall. Runes glowed with a metallic light on them. They appeared incredibly sturdy and emitted a powerful pressure.

  Even though he was an enemy, Long Chen had no choice but to admire him. Han Tianfeng truly was terrifying. Long Chen had never before seen such a high defensive ability.

  At the same time, he understood that Han Tianfeng possessed a defensively powerful earth attribute energy.

  That terrifying wind net smashed into the nine barriers and completely destroyed them before continuing onwards at Han Tianfeng.

  Han Tianfeng roared and formed a strange hand seal. Suddenly, the ground beneath his feet split open like a gaping maw and swallowed him.

  The terrifying wind net slammed into the earth. A huge crater blew open, and even Han Tianfeng was sent flying from the ground.

  However, after those nine walls, the wind net had lost over half its energy. Hiding underground, he had only received a small portion of the remaining force.

  Even so, Han Tianfeng turned pale with fright. If he hadn’t thought of this idea at the last moment, he would definitely have been at least heavily injured.

  As soon as he shot out of the earth, he frantically fled. Such a powerful ancient Magical Beast was not something he could handle.

  Seeing that it hadn’t killed Han Tianfeng in one blow, the Barbaric Wind Beast suddenly opened its mouth. However, this time it didn’t spit out anything, but inhaled.

  “Not good!” Long Chen was startled. Although the Barbaric Wind Beast wasn’t purposely targeting him, its terrifying attractive force still affected him. Long Chen felt his body begin to float up. He stabbed Devil Decapitator into the rock, holding on tightly.

  That terrifying attractive force increased over time, and Long Chen felt as if he were in a raging flood of water that was trying to pull him over. The only thing keeping him from flying out was Devil Decapitator.

  “Fuck, this monster’s too terrifying!” Long Chen cursed inside. That mouth wasn’t even pointed at him, but he still felt he was close to flying over.

  He could only bitterly endure. If he dared use his spiritual qi, that might alert the Barbaric Wind Beast. Then he really would be screwed.

  As for Han Tianfeng, he had fled less than a mile when he felt his body become light, and he involuntarily flew back.

  The Barbaric Wind Beast’s mouth was pitch-black and was covered with sharp teeth. It appeared sinister and chilling.

  Han Tianfeng had no ability to resist in midair. He quickly began to fly towards the Barbaric Wind Beast’s mouth.

  If he was swallowed, then there was zero chance he would live. Clenching his teeth, a dark gold rectangular piece of paper suddenly appeared in his hand.

  That yellow paper was around two inches wide and half a foot long. Bizarre lines were drawn on top of it that caused the space around it to fluctuate.

  “Talisman!” Long Chen had been carefully paying attention, and the instant he saw Han Tianfeng take out that paper, he was filled with shock.

  Talisman experts could use their powerful Spiritual Strength to use specialized talisman liquid and paper to create talisman seals that could release terrifying effects.

  Talisman experts were extremely rare, much, much rarer than alchemists. Medicinal pills were everywhere in the cultivation world, but there were very few talismans. The majority of talismans were all in the hands of the large sects. Frankly speaking, only rich powers were able to afford them.

  That was because talismans were one-time use ite
ms. Even low-level talismans cost thousands of spirit stones. Long Chen’s monastery did not possess such luxury goods.

  So seeing Han Tianfeng pull out a talisman infuriated Long Chen. Perhaps that was a classic hatred towards the rich.

  Han Tianfeng let go of the talisman. Due to being so light, it was instantly pulled into the Barbaric Wind Beast’s open mouth. He then formed a hand seal.

  BOOM!

  Chapter 348 Obtaining the Wind Spirit Crystal

  BOOM!

  Once the talisman entered the Barbaric Wind Beast’s mouth, it exploded. A piercing light shone out and the world rocked.

  “What terrifying energy!” Long Chen was shocked. That little paper contained a mountain-shattering berserk energy.

  The Barbaric Wind Beast let out an angry snarl. Just its voice caused the dome of the sky to quiver.

  “It’s injured.” Long Chen noticed some blood stains on its mouth. However, it was clearly not a fatal injury.

  The talisman’s explosion had cut off the Barbaric Wind Beast’s inhalation. The instant Han Tianfeng’s feet touched the ground, he fled for his life.

  A single talisman was worth thousands of spirit stones. Even he felt pain using one.

  However, after seeing that his powerful talisman had been unable to cause any heavy injury even though it had exploded in its mouth, Han Tianfeng completely gave up on obtaining this Wind Spirit Crystal.

  The ground suddenly trembled. The Wind Spirit Beast’s six feet stamped on the ground, and it shot forward at Han Tianfeng, looking like some six-legged serpent.

  Its body was huge like a mountain, but its speed was as quick as lightning. Furthermore, it also shot out a three-meter-thick sphere at Han Tianfeng’s back.

  Han Tianfeng hastily dodged to the side, avoiding that sphere.

  Shooting past his body, that sphere shot straight through the mountain in front of him. Rumbling could be heard as the sphere pierced straight through multiple mountains. With the heavy mist, it was impossible to tell just how far that attack had reached.
