43: Giant Falcon Demon Beast in the late Qi Sea Realm

Two giant falcon Yao Beasts were seen rapidly flapping their wings, which were like refined iron.

A barrage of invisible blades tore through space, striking directly at Lin Xiaotian and An Shenhu.

Zhang Sheng instantly detected the blades infused with Spiritual Qi in the air!

With a point of his hands, a Spirit Shield immediately appeared on both Lin Xiaotian and An Shenhu.

The invisible blades struck the shield, emitting a crisp, loud sound.

"There's no time to explain! Run!" Zhang Sheng shouted.

At the same time, he activated a divine speed talisman, which turned into a wisp of Spiritual Qi that merged into his legs; Lin Xiaotian and An Shenhu did the same.

The three of them fled rapidly back the way they came!

Similar scenes were playing out in other teams that had entered the Secret Realm for the crusade.

However, Zhang Sheng and his two companions, running on foot, were no match for the falcon-type Yao Beasts known for their speed; even with the divine speed talisman—which was only of average quality—it was like trying to put out a cart of burning firewood with a single cup of water.

"Brothers, we're done for this time! I was the one who proposed this Secret Realm crusade, so I'll stay behind to cover you. While I hold off the Yao Beasts, hurry and escape the Secret Realm!" Lin Xiaotian roared.

"Go quickly!" Lin Xiaotian stopped in his tracks, and a ring of Talent shield formed around his body.

"This guy!"

Zhang Sheng saw the second wave of invisible blades, fanned out by the giant falcon's wings, about to hit Lin Xiaotian. But how could he, being only at the Middle Stage of the first level of the Qi Sea Realm, be a match for them?

He shoved a few divine speed talismans and vajra talismans into An Shenhu's hands and hurriedly said, "You go first! I have other means! Staying behind only makes you a burden!"

An Shenhu looked at the two of them, nodded, and quickly left.

He didn't know what other means Zhang Sheng had, but he knew that if he stayed, he would undoubtedly die.

"Why did you come back?" Lin Xiaotian said angrily.

The invisible blades struck the Spirit Shield that Zhang Sheng had placed on the 'Yellow-Haired' one, without damaging Lin Xiaotian's own Talent shield.

"What is this?" Lin Xiaotian showed an expression of disbelief.

The first time, he thought Zhang Sheng had used a vajra talisman on him, but this time he didn't see Zhang Sheng activate any Talisman. What kind of method was this?

Zhang Sheng had no time to explain. He unleashed five spirit tool flying daggers, attacking the giant falcon's vital parts simultaneously.

The neck, eyes, wing roots, and even its anus.

The spirit tool flying daggers collided with the giant falcon in mid-air, sparking violently.

Whether it was the neck or the eyes, Zhang Sheng discovered that the giant falcon's body surface was now like refined iron, making it difficult to break through its defense.

Seeing Zhang Sheng controlling the Flying Dagger to fight the two falcons, Lin Xiaotian immediately formed hand seals, and a bolt of silver lightning instantly shot from his fingertips, striking one of the giant falcons.

Zhang Sheng didn't know what Spell the 'Yellow-Haired' one had cast, but the hit caused the giant falcon in the air to pause for a moment.

Zhang Sheng controlled the Flying Dagger to seize the opportunity and plunged it straight into the giant falcon's anus. The Flying Dagger that entered the Yao Beast rotated like a drill, wreaking havoc inside, before finally piercing through the giant falcon's belly and flying out!

With a loud boom, the giant falcon fell to the ground and died. After killing one giant falcon, under the combined attacks of Zhang Sheng and the other, the second giant falcon didn't even last a single breath before becoming a corpse.

Both giant falcon Yao Beast corpses dropped special items: a yellow jade plaque and a strange round bead.

"We'll distribute these two items when we get back." Zhang Sheng put both away.

"Zhang Sheng, thank you for saving my life!" The 'Yellow-Haired' one panted heavily and whispered, "The spoils should all belong to you; I believe An Shenhu won't have any objections."

His Mental Energy and Spiritual Qi hadn't been depleted much, but the 'Yellow-Haired' one looked exhausted at this moment, cold sweat soaking his shirt.

When he saw that the three of them were no match for the giant falcons, he had already prepared himself to sacrifice his life.

"We'll talk about the spoils when we get back. You've also saved my life once, so there's no need to say more. I'll see you back!" Zhang Sheng said calmly.

He realized that his strength was already ahead of the others, and it was no longer suitable for him to fight in a team. In fact, even if he faced them alone, he was confident he could take care of the two giant falcons.

It was just that he had to look out for his two teammates, and casting shields on them caused his own Spiritual Qi to deplete rapidly.

Ever since he had consumed the supreme-grade spirit food pill, as long as the Spiritual Qi in Zhang Sheng's Dantian was not at Perfection, the Heavenly Circulation Method would automatically circulate, restoring the Spiritual Qi in his Dantian.

By the time Zhang Sheng escorted the 'Yellow-Haired' one to the entrance of the Secret Realm, the Spiritual Qi in his body had already fully recovered to Perfection.

"Aren't you going back?" the 'Yellow-Haired' one asked.

"My body is full of Spiritual Qi; I can still fight." Zhang Sheng said calmly.

"Alright!" Thinking of the means Zhang Sheng had displayed during the battle, he didn't say anything more. "Don't worry, I'll keep it a secret for you."

As he ventured deeper into the Secret Realm again, Zhang Sheng's Smart Terminal suddenly vibrated; it was an emergency distress signal.

Considering it might be a giant falcon of the Qi Sea Realm, Zhang Sheng ran rapidly toward the distress location and activated a divine speed talisman.

He ran for several kilometers!

What came into view was a scene like Hell, with dozens of warriors lying in pools of blood.

Most of the wounds on their bodies were piercing wounds.

Not far away, a fierce battle was erupting!

The young girl's red tight-fitting suit had been dyed blood-red. A giant frog as big as an ox and a Yao Beast resembling a tiger were fighting against a huge Yao Falcon.

The Spiritual Qi of the giant frog and the tiger was as clear as that of humans, but the combined Spiritual Qi fluctuations of the three were still not as terrifying or turbid as that emitted by the giant Yao Falcon.

According to Zhang Sheng's calculations, this Yao Falcon likely had the strength of the Late Stage Qi Sea Realm.

The situation was extremely critical. The giant frog and the tiger were already seriously injured, and there was a horrifying knife wound on the back of the young girl holding a silver sword; her flesh was clearly visible!

There were still a few warriors lying on the ground with weak signs of life. Zhang Sheng hurriedly cast the Rejuvenation Spell on them; whether they could survive depended on their fate.

Then, Zhang Sheng's figure turned into a swimming Dragon as he ran toward the young girl.

After running closer, Zhang Sheng noticed a familiar figure lying beside the young girl.

Uncle!

The uncle was covered in piercing wounds and had no breath left; it was clearly the work of the giant falcon's Spell.

Facing the sharp claws of the giant falcon lunging at her, the young girl desperately held her twin swords and faced the giant eagle. At this moment, she remembered the constant teachings and admonitions of Qian Jiang.

If she could have Cultivated diligently and tried a little harder, perhaps Uncle Qian wouldn't have died because of her!

Tears fell from the corners of her eyes as the young girl shouted and slashed at the giant eagle!

At the critical moment, Zhang Sheng pointed his finger, and his Spiritual Qi turned into two layers of shields, tightly protecting the young girl.

The first layer of the shield shattered at the strike of the sharp claws, but fortunately, the second layer blocked the giant eagle's attack.

Zhang Sheng simultaneously cast the Rejuvenation Spell! The wound on the young girl's back began to scab over, visible to the naked eye.

Meanwhile, five Flying Daggers turned into five flashes of light and attacked the giant falcon!

The young girl got a chance to breathe, and only then did she discover that the one who had come to assist her was none other than Zhang Sheng, whom she had seen at the station.

"Thank you! Can you please heal Xiao Jin and Xiao Bao? They are my Talent contracted beasts, not Yao Beasts." The young girl begged in a low voice.

Looking at the young girl whose eyes were swollen from crying, Zhang Sheng didn't say much, but instead activated two Rejuvenation Talismans to heal the two contracted beasts.

The Spiritual Qi that Zhang Sheng's Dantian could hold was only 2,500. Whenever there was an opportunity to use a Talisman, Zhang Sheng still tried his best to use one.

This was the first time Zhang Sheng learned that there was actually such a Talent for controlling Yao Beasts.

Then Zhang Sheng saw the young girl take out a few Medicinal Pills and feed them to the two injured Yao Beasts. But weren't those pills the Low Grade spirit food pills he had sold?

Then, the two Yao Beasts actually turned into two white lights and disappeared, entering the young girl's body.

"What is this?"

"They are my contracted beasts. I have now put them into the contract space so that they can recover faster."

"Crack!"

One of Zhang Sheng's five Flying Daggers actually cracked, and the Spiritual Qi in Zhang Sheng's body was being consumed extremely quickly.

Meanwhile, the teams coming to provide support had arrived one after another!

The arriving warriors launched dozens of portable anti-aircraft missiles, but the giant falcon Yao Beast was extremely fast, and very few actually hit the target.
