Chapter 33: 033 Graceful, truly too graceful (Requesting monthly passes! Seeking bookmarks!)

Li Yangyang and the others watched as a giant white crane flapped its wings, coming through the sky.

At first, they had thought such a large Immortal Crane was another spirit monster from the mountains, coming to aid the Black Bear Demon.

Despair had almost consumed Li Yangyang and the rest.

Just one Black Bear Demon was already so powerful.

If another white crane joined the fray, what would they fight with?

As they wallowed in their despair, someone noticed that atop the white crane, there stood a figure.

This figure was dressed in a purple Taoist robe, the Heavenly Immortal Cave Clothes.

Wasn’t that the Heavenly Master from Qingyun Mountain?

Inside the live stream, tens of millions of viewers were startled, followed by a barrage of comments that blew up the chat.

“Holy shit! The Heavenly Master is here!”

“Dude, dude, dude! I’ve been waiting for so long and finally, the Heavenly Master arrives! It’s like a god descending from the heavens!”

“Heavenly Master is awesome! Riding a crane over here, if that’s not a freaking Immortal, what is?”

“Heavenly Master, the evidence is conclusive, you can actually fly, and you still claim you can’t cultivate?”

“This Immortal Crane looks familiar! Remember the one that leaped through space outside the plane window? Isn’t this the same one?”

“I just knew it! The shadowy figure in that picture of the Immortal Crane from that day, it’s the Heavenly Master!”

“LOL, case is closed! The mystery of the gigantic white crane’s shadow, it was you all along!”

…

At this moment, Qin Hao, having traveled from Qingyun Mountain riding the Immortal Crane, quickly arrived at the Liu family village.

Xiao Bai’s speed was incredibly fast, covering in minutes the distance that would normally take more than an hour to walk by foot.

And this was without using any Divine Skills.

If he used the Time-Space Divine Crane’s Bloodline Divine Power for space-time leaps,

the journey would just take a few breaths’ time to reach the destination.

Looking down at the Black Bear Demon with its giant club and its body enveloped in Gang Wind, behaving violently in front of the people,

Qin Hao scoffed and leaped from the back of the Immortal Crane.

With one hand behind his back, he descended like a bird, landing gently on the ground.

He stood before the many Taoist Masters from Qingyun Mountain.

Li Yangyang and the others watched as Qin Hao leaped casually down from the back of the Immortal Crane, his figure unruffled.

“So graceful! Just incredibly graceful!”

“Why does a man have to be so perfect!”

“That landing stance, I give it 99 points, sparing 1 for fear of making the Heavenly Master arrogant!”

“How dare you deduct points from the Heavenly Master? Do you have a death wish? Add that point back on now!”

“Gaia just snorted in disdain. That’s all to his landing? No fuss at all, zero points and not a point more!”

“233333!”

…

The Taoist Masters saw Qin Hao arrive.

Their hanging hearts were finally set at ease.

With the Heavenly Master here, everything would be fine.

The next steps were up to the man in the purple robe.

Qin Hao looked at the Black Bear Demon and glanced at the Taoist Masters behind him.

With a wave of his hand, he said, “My fellow masters, please step back. This Black Bear Demon has cultivated into a spirit and is not something you can handle. Leave it to me.”

Qin Hao could see upon his arrival.

This Black Bear indeed was a wild animal that had cultivated into a demon.

Its cultivation was not low, having reached the eighth layer of the Qi Refining Stage.

Just one step away from breaking through to the ninth layer.

This was why the talismans given by Qin Hao were ineffective against the Black Bear Demon.

First-Grade talismans were meant for ordinary wild beasts, ordinary people.

Using them against Cultivators was akin to brandishing a broadsword in front of Guan Yu—a fool’s errand.

The spiritual power in First-Grade talismans was just too weak.

Any Cultivator beyond the Second Level of the Qi Refinement Realm could easily break a talisman’s seal with a bit of True Yuan.

Therefore, it would have been strange if Qin Hao’s First-Grade talismans could restrain an eighth-layer Qi Refining Black Bear Demon.

Moreover, the Black Bear Demon’s cultivation was not the same as a human’s.

Humans are the favored children of the heavens, with bodies naturally suited for cultivating and exceptional comprehension abilities.

Like Qin Hao, whose cultivation of the Taiping Five Qi Formulas was heaven-defying, coupled with diligent practice and a system as a cheat.

It took him less than two months to reach the Foundation Establishment Stage.

That’s considered cheating speed.

But this Bear Spirit had no cheats to exploit. @@novelbin@@

Without any Cultivation Techniques or renowned masters to guide them, it must have taken at least a hundred years for it to cultivate to the eighth layer of Qi Refinement.

It’s a senior among eighth-layer Qi Refining demons.

Its physical body was as hardened as impenetrable, like steel with copper skin.

Comparable to a Grandmaster who extensively trained their physical body!

Of course, ordinary human weapons couldn’t hurt it.

While the eighth layer of Qi Refinement might seem invincible among ordinary humans,

to the present Qin Hao, it was negligible.

Now, Qin Hao had broken through to the Foundation Establishment Realm.

His power had increased over a hundred times more than before the breakthrough.

In his eyes, the eighth-layer Qi Refining Black Bear Demon was just an ant full of flaws, easily exterminated with a flick of a finger.

Qin Hao walked unhurriedly,

Step by step, approaching the face of the Black Bear Spirit.

Feeling the Gang Wind emanating from its body.

Even as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, Qin Hao felt the biting winds graze his face.

Clearly, this Gang Wind was an Innate Divine Ability the Black Bear had realized during its cultivation.

Qin Hao said, “Infinite Heavenly Venerable! Black Bear Demon, as a Taoist Master of Qingyun Mountain, given your hundred years of difficult cultivation, if you are willing to cease this conflict today, I am willing to spare your life. Otherwise, don’t blame me for being unkind.”

The Bear Spirit cultivated for a hundred years, and was certainly capable of understanding human speech.

However, regardless of Qin Hao’s prior warning,

this Black Bear Spirit had no intention of heeding him.

Its crazed eyes revealed its madness as it lifted its club towards Qin Hao and smashed down viciously.

With a swing, it aimed a brutal strike at Qin Hao’s forehead.

Qin Hao seemed to realize something.

This Black Bear Spirit appeared to be under some influence, in a state of loss of control.

Watching the club descending towards his head,

Qin Hao grunted, “Obstinate and ignorant! I shall liberate you now!”

Since the Black Bear was now out of control,

And deaf to Qin Hao’s words, there was no reason for him to show mercy.

Li Yangyang and the others watched as the Black Bear demonstrated a “fight-first-talk-later” attitude.

The powerful club was only three inches away from Qin Hao’s head,

Li Yangyang and the others’ hearts leaped to their throats.

Heavenly Master!

Danger!

Why won’t he dodge?

However, they did not understand that Qin Hao didn’t take the Black Bear’s club seriously at all.

Even that bit of strength was not worth Qin Hao’s effort to dodge.

He stood still with his hands behind his back, not even flinching.

Just as the club was about to strike,

A humming sound erupted from Qin Hao,

And a dazzling golden light burst forth from his body.

The Golden Light swiftly enveloped him, acting like a golden bell dome.

The Black Bear’s club struck Qin Hao’s Protective Golden Light,

The club shattered,

And the Black Bear was blown away.

Yet Qin Hao still stood in his original place, solid as Taishan Mountain.

Only then did everyone see the Protective Golden Light around the Heavenly Master.

Cultivated to nearly physical form.

And ordinarily, the Golden Light Spell was pure gold.

But the Heavenly Master’s was a striking purple-gold.

Gold tinged with purple!

Then he stepped towards the Black Bear, “Sinful creature, with your meager arts developed through a mere century of cultivation, how dare you attempt to compete with the bright moon? Will you not surrender?”

With every step Qin Hao took, the Heavenly Master Sword behind him let out a sword cry.

The Divine Sword flew out, splitting into six in mid-air,

Directing towards the Black Bear Spirit.

Little demon, do you still dare to move?
