132: The power of literary spirit

Big Yellow had already burned its blood essence and was running ahead...

Tang Tian said:

"Your witchcraft is too bizarre; it probably consumes your own lifespan, so I'm not joining you."

Subsequently, Wuqi carried Tang Tian and galloped away, leaving everyone behind.

The Tribal Chief said:

"What you say does have some truth to it, but our tribe has Sacred Beasts to substitute for us. They bear the taboos of the witchcraft for us, so even if our lifespan decreases, we are still stronger than you Cultivators..."

Tang Tian was stunned; was it really that evil?

Thinking of the series of sacrifices the Yu Family Ancestor had made to extend his life, a chill ran down Tang Tian's spine.

The Yu Family Ancestor had even sold his Foundation Establishment Realm pill cauldron to survive; if the Tribal Chief ran out of lifespan, he might just sacrifice Tang Tian.

Tang Tian said:

"Those who are not of my race must have different intentions. I cannot enjoy the invitation of you Barbarians..."

The Tribal Chief said:

"Then you shall die. But before you die, I will ask you again if you are willing to join my tribe..."

The Tribal Chief chased directly after Tang Tian, and Tang Tian immediately released the ten thousand strands of Evil Qi from his entire body.

It instantly surrounded the Tribal Chief, forcing him to stop in his tracks, while the Barbarian Priest caught up at this moment.

Seeing Tang Tian's methods, the Tribal Chief was stunned and said:

"You actually have such methods! You truly deserve to be someone who could escape from the Barbarian Priest. I have decided not to kill you; you should become the first warrior of our tribe..."

Tang Tian:

"..."

Tang Tian said:

"How about you let me go, Tribal Chief? When I finish my business one day, I will come to your tribe to join you."

The Tribal Chief laughed:

"You're dreaming..."

He reached out to grab Tang Tian, and Tang Tian released another three thousand Cold Feathers, with a handful of Spirit Stones appearing in his hand.

Then, he instantly restored the Cold Feathers.

The Tribal Chief was momentarily stopped, and Wuqi's speed increased even more. Linbian City was only three hours away.

The Tribal Chief said:

"I acknowledge your strength now. Being at the Lianqi Seventh Level and having such methods is truly extraordinary. It seems I must give you a sound beating before you will be willing to join my tribe..."

Tang Tian responded with another two thousand Cold Feathers, using his Spirit Stones as if they were free. Fortunately, as Tang Tian ran further, there were more and more Cultivators.

There were even some merchant caravans ahead. Seeing this, the Tribal Chief paused his pursuit of Tang Tian and reached out to grab and kill those in the caravans.

He threw the cargo of those caravans into his witchcraft space, and as for the storage rings in the hands of the caravan members, he took them.

They, the Barbarians, had no Spiritual Qi, so even if they reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, they could not open the storage rings—unless, of course, they crushed them directly...

That was why they had a mandatory requirement to capture Tang Tian.

The Tribal Chief watched Tang Tian like a cat playing with a mouse; he already knew where Tang Tian was running to.

He would grab Tang Tian at the Linbian City ahead, making the hope of the Cultivators before them vanish completely.

From then on, he would work for his tribe with peace of mind.

When the surrounding Cultivators saw the Barbarians, they immediately picked up their weapons and started attacking. The Cultivators of Linbian City were very close to the Poisonous Miasma Forest, so they had a blood feud with the Barbarians that had lasted for generations.

However, they were casually wiped out by the Tribal Chief.

Before dying, those Cultivators left behind an unwilling final sentence:

"The Barbarians have actually produced a Foundation Establishment Cultivator..."

Tang Tian was stunned when he heard this. Was it difficult for the Barbarians to produce a Foundation Establishment Cultivator?

The Tribal Chief grinned hideously:

"Kid, are you curious about how I was able to reach the Foundation Establishment Realm? I have to thank the Cultivators here for selling Foundation Establishment Pills to me..."

He continued to chase Tang Tian from behind, unhurriedly.

Tang Tian was stunned when he heard this. He did not understand the hatred between the Cultivators and the Barbarians, but the fact that the Barbarians could afford the Foundation Establishment Pill proved that they were truly wealthy...

Tang Tian ran in front, and the large number of Cultivators around him, upon seeing the Barbarians, drew their blades and attacked without a word.

But in the face of the Tribal Chief's Foundation Establishment cultivation, they were worthless.

Very quickly, over a hundred Cultivators had died by this point...

The Tribal Chief said:

"It is because you kept running that this group of Cultivators died miserably. If you had surrendered to us earlier, nothing would have happened."

Tang Tian was so angry he laughed when he heard this, and said:

"I would rather keep running than become a traitor to the Cultivators."

Not to mention that Tang Tian's master was a Great Scholar; once he found out, he would definitely start purging the sect.

And there were Tang Tian's four Senior Brothers; if Tang Tian joined the Barbarians, he wouldn't know how to face them...

The Tribal Chief snorted coldly:

"Stubborn and foolish. Run, keep running, let's see how far you can run..."

The Tribal Chief was a bit far from Tang Tian, but the Barbarian Priest was very close and attacking Tang Tian.

Tang Tian continuously released Evil Qi to attack him, making it so the Barbarian Priest couldn't even crawl on the ground.

Very quickly, an hour passed, and the outline of Linbian City was right ahead, with more and more Cultivators around.

The Tribal Chief stopped caring about Tang Tian at this moment and rushed in front of Tang Tian.

Seeing this, Tang Tian was stunned and said:

"So you could have caught me all along; you were playing cat and mouse!"

The Tribal Chief said:

"You are quite smart. My tribe is just missing a smart person like you."

The Tribal Chief reached out to grab Tang Tian, instantly covering Big Yellow and Wuqi as well. The attacks from the surrounding Cultivators hit the Tribal Chief, but they caused absolutely no damage.

Tang Tian:

"..."

Just as the Tribal Chief touched Tang Tian, a golden light flashed across Tang Tian's entire body. This was a life-saving Cultivation Technique left on Tang Tian by the Great Scholar.

Tang Tian did not know about this, but since the Great Scholar had given Tang Tian the pseudo-Earth Rank "Life Extinguishing Spirit Gathering Sword" Cultivation Technique, such an investment was not surprising.

Massive Literary Qi transformed into a waterfall and attacked the Tribal Chief, and the phantom image of the Great Scholar appeared in the air.

The Great Scholar said:

"Disciple, you retreat into the city first."

Tang Tian did not even have time to express his thanks; he hurriedly brought Wuqi and Big Yellow into the city...

The Tribal Chief said:

"Where are you from, Cultivator? You dare to come and snatch people from me!"

The Great Scholar did not speak, only saying:

"Shooting stars and white feathers tucked at the waist, sword flowers and autumn lotuses shine forth from the scabbard!"

A massive sword solidified from Literary Qi appeared in his hand and slashed toward the Tribal Chief.

Literary Qi inherently had a massive suppression effect on the Barbarians, and an even greater suppression effect on witchcraft. The Tribal Chief was startled by the massive sword and stepped back many paces.

The Tribal Chief said:

"I hate you Literary Qi Cultivators the most. Relying on Literary Qi, what kind of hero are you? If you have the ability, go head-to-head with me using Spiritual Qi..."

The Great Scholar did not speak, saying:

"Drawing the carved bow like a full moon, looking northwest, shooting the Heavenly Wolf."

A ten-thousand-stone bow appeared out of thin air in the Great Scholar's hand, and he shot an arrow of Literary Qi. Then, this life-saving technique reached its limit. After shooting this arrow, the Great Scholar's figure disappeared.

The Tribal Chief roared angrily:

"So what if it has the power of ten thousand stones? I will still resist it with my strength!"

The Tribal Chief let out a roar, and the beast-bone rod in his hand struck toward the Literary Qi arrow that was larger than his whole body...
