"Shen Lang, can you lend me the Qixue Record?"
Shi Wuxie had always thought the Qixue Record was a legendary item, never expecting to see it in person one day. With the Qixue Record, it meant his sister could truly be saved.
"We are friends who have gone through hardship together. If you ask, there's nothing I cannot lend you."
Shen Lang handed the Qixue Record to Shi Wuxie, smiling, "The method of using the Qixue Record is recorded within. As long as you activate it according to the recorded method, you can instantly drain a person's blood, and then replenish it to the other party in a very short time."
"Shen Lang, thank you."
Taking the Qixue Record from Shen Lang's hand, Shi Wuxie's usually calm face showed an unprecedented excitement. He said, "I truly don't know how to thank you. If you ever need my help in the future, you can tell me."
"Haha, we are friends, let's not talk about repayment. Go save your sister."
Shen Lang added, "I will be cultivating in the mountains and won't be leaving this primeval forest for now. We'll meet again if fate allows."
"Alright—"
Shi Wuxie nodded upon hearing this and said, "This primeval forest is full of ferocious beasts. You need someone to guard you while you cultivate, otherwise, you might be swallowed by Xiao Jiu like last time."
"I'm in a hurry to save my sister, so I can't stay and guard you while you cultivate peacefully. Let Xiao Jiu protect you instead."
With that, Shi Wuxie picked up the emerald green bamboo flute at his waist and blew a gentle tune. Soon, the ferocious Nine-Headed Winged Lion Python walked before Shen Lang and then obediently lay down.
After doing this, Shi Wuxie blew the flute again. Immediately, a white giant crane, over two meters tall with wings spanning a full twenty meters, appeared in the sky.
Seeing this, Shi Wuxie leaped up a hundred meters and landed on the back of the white crane, then rode it away.
"Heaven, is this woman an immortal?"
Watching Shi Wuxie depart so grandly, Shen Lang felt a deep pang of jealousy. This woman was incomparably cool.
He remembered reading books that described immortals riding cranes to the south. He had yearned for such a sight then. Now, he, who had cultivated to the peak of the Heavenly Realm, couldn't achieve it, yet Shi Wuxie had. It was truly disheartening to compare.
After Shi Wuxie left, Shen Lang looked at the Nine-Headed Winged Lion Python and noticed that it no longer harbored any hostility towards him. Instead, it was vigilantly scanning the surroundings, preventing other wild beasts from approaching him.
"Thank you!"
Shen Lang said a word of gratitude to the Nine-Headed Winged Lion Python, then found a spot to sit down, took out the Wangi Flying Dagger, and began to control it.
After a day's effort yesterday, Shen Lang had managed to control the first flying dagger. However, to wield it with absolute precision, where intent meant the blade followed, would require more time.
The flying dagger itself was very light, but once controlled, its weight could suddenly reach tens of thousands of pounds, making it a strenuous task even for Shen Lang.
Learning from the previous lesson, Shen Lang deliberately held back some of his strength when launching the flying dagger this time. Yet, even so, the moment the Wangi Flying Dagger was shot out, it drained all the strength from Shen Lang's body, acting entirely beyond his will.
The Wangi Flying Dagger shot out rapidly, reaching three hundred meters away in an instant, finally hitting a sheer cliff face.
"Bang—"
The cliff face was struck by the Wangi Flying Dagger, exploding instantly. A small mountain was flattened.
"The power of this strike is almost comparable to my Annihilation Beam…"
Shen Lang was shocked by the power of this strike and muttered.
However, just like yesterday, this strike had drained him of all his strength, leaving him extremely weak.
And because of the massive commotion caused by his earlier strike, soon, thirty-six fierce wolves, twelve leopards, and three pythons as thick as water buckets rapidly converged on Shen Lang.
Evidently, they were united against him, sensing a threat and intending to deal with the intruder, Shen Lang.
"Damn it…"
Shen Lang hadn't expected that launching a single strike would attract the siege of these forest overlords. He wanted to resist but had no strength. He wanted to escape but found he couldn't even move.
Just as Shen Lang's face turned grim, the Nine-Headed Winged Lion Python let out a roar and stepped forward, positioning itself in front of Shen Lang, shielding him.
Seeing the monstrous creature blocking their path, the hungry wolves, leopards, and pythons all flinched back a step. However, they then charged towards the Nine-Headed Winged Lion Python.
In their eyes, Shen Lang, the stranger, was an intruder. Similarly, a monstrous creature like the Nine-Headed Winged Lion Python was also an anomaly.
The thirty-six hungry wolves were incredibly fast, reaching the Nine-Headed Winged Lion Python in an instant.
However, seeing them approach, the Nine-Headed Winged Lion Python let out a deafening roar from its nine heads, and its wings flapped gently.
This gentle flap instantly stirred up a violent storm, sweeping the thirty-six hungry wolves away for over thirty meters, like leaves in an autumn wind. They fell in disarray, cries of pain echoing.
Yet, the intense physical pain only ignited the ferocity of the wolves.
Soon, all thirty-six hungry wolves, with eyes reddened, charged at the Nine-Headed Winged Lion Python once more.
Facing the charging wolves, the Nine-Headed Winged Lion Python showed no fear. As thirty wolves rushed forward, it suddenly rose five meters into the air. Its nine snake heads quickly protruded, each biting into a wolf, and instantly swallowing them whole.
The remaining wolves, witnessing their companions being devoured in such a manner, showed no fear. Instead, they leaped onto trees and attacked the airborne Nine-Headed Winged Lion Python.
However, unfazed by their attacks, the Nine-Headed Winged Lion Python opened its nine mouths simultaneously and spat out an unknown purple liquid.
This purple liquid scattered everywhere, eventually falling onto the remaining twenty-seven hungry wolves.
Then, a scene that Shen Lang completely failed to comprehend unfolded.
As the purple liquid splashed onto the wolves, their bodies instantly ignited with purple flames. Soon, they were engulfed in fire. In less than thirty seconds, all the wolves were reduced to mere ashes.
Seeing the thirty-six wolves either swallowed whole or burned to cinders, the remaining leopards and pythons were instantly terrified and scattered in all directions.
"As expected of a new creature engineered through biochemical experiments…"
Witnessing the combat prowess of the Nine-Headed Winged Lion Python, Shen Lang was startled and said, "New lifeforms synthesized through genetic engineering will cause ecological imbalance in nature. Similarly, bio-engineered warriors will break the balance of humanity. There should be no genetic biochemical experiments in this world, therefore, organizations like the Killing Dao Society must disappear."
