15: Chapter 15 Escaping the Market, Robbing Cultivators and Seeking Their Lives

Consultant Wang felt his eyes nearly split with rage upon seeing this.

Two rays of Golden Core realm light tangled in midair, and everyone else avoided them from afar to prevent being crushed to death by the shockwaves.

Consultant Wang also flew low rapidly, but his Dharma Eye could already see that the Yao Beasts attacking around the protective array were currently surrounding the crowd in tight groups.

Many Cultivators had already activated their escape lights to break through the encirclement.

And to the west, there was a dense, endless mass of Earth Rank Yao Beasts.

The situation was unsalvageable.

Without the slightest hesitation, a streak of spiritual light wrapped around Chen Xuan, the other two, and the wolf, breaking out toward the east in the direction of Fusheng Immortal City.

Yet, just as the escape light reached the edge of the market, a fierce and savage aura soared into the sky.

A Tier 2 Middle Stage Yao Beast!

Consultant Wang's heart sank.

He was only at the Early Stage of Foundation Establishment himself.

Fighting a Tier 2 Middle Stage Yao Beast, his magic power was a step weaker, making life and death unpredictable.

The hearts of Chen Xuan and the other two turned cold; they couldn't sense the exact strength, but only felt as if the sky was falling.

"Go!"

At the critical moment, Consultant Wang cast the Guest-Expelling Wind technique with his left hand.

The strong wind split into two; one blew toward the incoming enemy,

while the other violently blew Chen Xuan and the others toward Fusheng Immortal City.

"You guys go first. Once I deal with this trouble, I will come find you."

The three of them struggled to control this gale. Thanks to Chen Xuan's deep magic power, he could barely control the Guest-Expelling Wind for a short while as a Qi Refining Mid-Stage Cultivator.

After gliding steadily for several hundred miles, Consultant Wang and the Yao Beast behind them were nowhere to be seen.

And in the distance, the outline of Fusheng Immortal City could already be vaguely seen.

As long as they got there, they would be safe!

Now that the market was in the midst of war and they were homeless, the two women vaguely looked to Chen Xuan as their backbone.

On one hand, his cultivation was the highest, while both women had only just stepped into Qi Refining Stage 3.

On the other hand, he was a familiar and reliable man.

Between the market and the Immortal City, there was an official road that had been established long ago.

But since the Yao Beasts had already set up an ambush on the east side of the market, there might very well be Yao Beasts pursuing them along the official road as well.

After all, when Consultant Wang led them to break through, many escape lights lit up in the market at the same time, making for a dazzling sight.

"Should we hide here or head to Fusheng Immortal City? My suggestion is to avoid the official road and head to Fusheng Immortal City."

Chen Xuan spoke.

The two women looked at each other and both nodded.

Without hesitation, the three of them immediately made their way toward the east.

Yet, right at this moment, a voice came from the wasteland behind them:

"Wait a moment, my three young friends. How about we travel together?"

The speaker stopped his steps.

Chen Xuan and the other two turned around. Looking at his clothes, he was from the Li Clan Beast Taming Workshop. He was slightly plump with a kind face, but his Daoist robe was extremely ill-fitting, making him look exceptionally comical.

At his feet, there was also a Tier 1 Middle Stage Spirit Leopard.

Chen Xuan immediately pulled the two women back warily, quietly took out a Talisman, and said, "Apologies, but we do not wish to travel with anyone."

"In that case, excuse my intrusion." He walked toward them, heading in the direction of the official road on the left.

Just as the two women and Chen Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, a sudden change occurred.

The Spirit Leopard suddenly leaped up, opening its mouth to bite at Chen Xuan's throat.

The plump Cultivator also turned sideways, and a fireball flew over in an instant, heading straight for the faces of the three.

Fireball Technique!

A Spirit Beast attack!

Since childhood, the three of them had heard from their elders that it was dangerous outside the market.

But this encounter was a first for them, like a young bride marrying for the first time.

The two women were flustered and caught off guard, only blocking with their hands in front of themselves.

Perhaps they had thought that since the plump Cultivator was from the Li Clan Beast Taming Workshop, he wouldn't be a rogue Cultivator.

Chen Xuan, however, had been prepared all along.

At that split second, faster than words could say, Chen Xuan immediately activated the Golden Light Mantra he was already holding!

A golden light emerged in front of the three of them.

"Boom!"

The fireball crashed into it, dissipating into splattering sparks.

The Spirit Leopard nimbly stepped and turned, landing steadily.

"You brat, you were actually on guard against me." The plump Cultivator's kind expression turned cold and sinister.

Chen Xuan formed a hand seal, condensing the Golden Light Mantra onto his body.

It seemed today's matter could not be resolved peacefully.

When dealing with beast tamers, it was always best to capture the leader first.

Chen Xuan had this exact plan.

From the very beginning, he did not count on the two women.

Those in the Early Stages of Qi Refining basically had no combat capability.

With golden light flashing all over his body, Chen Xuan executed his movement technique, charging toward the plump Cultivator.

The plump Cultivator's eyes were icy, showing no panic at all.

Just as Chen Xuan was about to reach him, he tapped his toes and flew up into midair.

"I'd like to see how long your Talisman can last!"

The plump Cultivator had already made his decision: he would attack with his Spirit Leopard, and once the Talisman was exhausted, it would be the moment the three of them died.

Receiving the plump Cultivator's intent, the Spirit Leopard instantly attacked Chen Xuan. Its claws carried hints of golden light, suddenly radiating a sharp, metallic aura.

This was no ordinary Spirit Leopard!

It had actually cultivated spells.

Screech!

Under the ear-piercing claw strikes, the shield formed by the Golden Light Mantra dimmed a bit more.

Chen Xuan knew he couldn't afford a prolonged battle.

But the opponent was clearly not in the Late-stage Qi Refining, being at a similar level to him.

In other words, this flight spell absolutely could not be sustained for long.

He only needed to find the right opportunity to attack him.

At this moment, the Spirit Leopard retreated immediately after one strike.

It seemed both sides had a similar plan.

The two women also came to their senses at this time.

They had thought that with the consultant's protection, they would be safe after breaking through.

They didn't expect to still encounter danger.

Neither of the two women had any combat skills, so they could only rely on Talismans at this moment.

"Brother Teng, use an escape Talisman."

Chen Xuan nodded; he had already intended to do so!

"Light Evasion Talisman!"

A Tier 1 High Grade Talisman, its escape technique was comparable to Qi Refining Perfection.

Once activated, Chen Xuan was like a gentle breeze, treading on the air and instantly arriving in front of the plump Cultivator.

The plump Cultivator had been carefully keeping his distance and really didn't expect this.

One must know that even for Qi Refining Mid-Stage Cultivators, trying to catch up to another person through flight was almost impossible.

A single turn in midair could leave the pursuer far behind.

And without Divine Thought tracking, various spells were even more impossible to hit their target.

It could be said that a Qi Refining Mid-Stage fighting a Qi Refining Early Stage was like high-ground fighting low-ground, beating a fool.

"Boom!" Chen Xuan punched straight at his face.

The plump Cultivator was dumbfounded, completely unable to react.

In his past battles, it was always a clash of spells; this was the first time he had encountered a Body Cultivator.

Yet in this world, Body Cultivators were extremely rare. Not only was their progress slow, but their legacies were also scarce, making them incomparable to cultivating magic power.

But how could he know that this punch of Chen Xuan's carried sixty years of the Northern Dark Divine Technique!

With just one punch, he saw stars.

With another punch, he died with regret on the spot.

The two women stared blankly as Chen Xuan soared into the sky and then beat him to death with just two punches.

It was simply surreal.

As soon as the plump Cultivator died, the Spirit Leopard immediately sat obediently on the spot, no longer moving.

Chen Xuan removed the Storage Pouch from the plump Cultivator and the Beast Taming Ring from his wrist. After searching him a bit more to ensure nothing was missed, he said, "Let's leave quickly."

With so many trees around, Chen Xuan formed a hand seal, cast a simple Fire-Starting Spell, and left in a hurry.

For the rest of the journey, the Spirit Leopard carried the two women while Chen Xuan led the Golden Roar, heading toward Fusheng Immortal City.

Along the way, Chen Xuan refined the Restriction on the Storage Pouch.

It was once again time for the exciting moment of counting the loot.
