Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

Li Miaozhen was feeling rather annoyed at the moment.

Every time she thought of Qin Feng's jesting, smug face, she couldn't help wanting to punch him hard, giving him two black eyes, or maybe even knocking two large bumps on his forehead to vent her anger.

Somehow, she began to worry that the rascal really might sneak up to see her in the middle of the night, so she set up a layer of prohibitions at the staircase entrance to guard the second floor before she could rest easy and return to her room.

As for Qin Feng, he was chased by her to meditate in the downstairs living room.

The room upstairs was hers, and although she wouldn't be living here for more than a few days, she still didn't want Qin Feng to enter at will.

Luckily, Qin Feng was relatively well-behaved; without her permission, he really did stay obediently below.

......

Two days later, on the city wall, Qin Feng and Li Miaozhen stood side by side atop the battlements, looking at the team that was gradually departing in the distance, both of them silently heaving a sigh of relief.

"The Fiery Flame City Lord has left, even if he doesn't delay at all, it would take him at least two days to go there and back."

Li Miaozhen said, "There's no rush to make a move, we'll wait until dusk approaches, making sure he can't return shortly before we act, which is perfect for setting up traps at night and ambushing them."

Qin Feng nodded and replied, "In that case, Senior Sister, you should go back first, to avoid raising suspicion by being away too long. I'll head to the Demon Crystal Veins first to take a look and make some early preparations."

"Okay."

Li Miaozhen gave a word of caution: "Then be careful yourself, if it is not feasible, retreat in a timely manner, and don't try to show off. If you sacrifice your life here for the sake of some resources, it would not be worth it."

Qin Feng smiled faintly: "Thank you for your concern, Senior Sister. I certainly won't act rashly."

Li Miaozhen, with a straightforward personality, having said all that needed to be said, said no more. She turned around, descended from the city wall, and returned to the City Lord Mansion to wait for news.

The Demon Crystal Veins were thirty miles away from Fiery Fire City, neither far nor close.

The reason the Demon Clan didn't build their cities next to the Demon Crystal Veins was firstly, because it was deep in the mountains, which was inconvenient for city construction. Secondly, after digging out mines, the Demon Crystal Veins naturally emitted strong elemental fluctuations, which could easily attract some Demon Beasts.

Ordinary Demon Beasts were manageable, but if a powerful Super Demon Beast was drawn in, that would be big trouble. If a city were built next to the veins and a Super Demon Beast came, it would certainly bring immense destruction to the entire city.

Therefore, basically no Demon Clan cities were built right beside the Demon Crystal Mines.

Qin Feng arrived at the veins ahead of time and, avoiding the guards and several strong demons, entered the mines from underground to survey. After getting a rough idea of the direction of the mine tunnels, he was ready to take action.

He did not plan to wait until nightfall to act because after dark, many Demon Beasts would come out to roam and hunt. He was somewhat worried that if the Demon Clan Warriors he let go to send a message by chance encountered a Demon Beast attack and died on the way, it would ruin their plans.

The first one Qin Feng approached was the mage guarding here.

Although in terms of cultivation realm, the two Demon Clan leaders were slightly stronger, their methods were single-dimensional, far less troublesome than the mage. He certainly didn't want to be attacked by the mage from behind while clashing with the Demon Clan leaders.

Fortunately, most mages were somewhat arrogant by nature, and usually, they just needed to set up warning magic. The mage lord didn't participate in any defensive patrols at other times and was entirely absorbed in his magic experiments.

So, when Qin Feng found the mage, he was still in the laboratory, messing around with some strange and unusual things.

Qin Feng had originally planned to use the Earth Escape Divine Power to sneak directly into the other party's room and ambush him. However, it seemed this mage was a cautious fellow. Although he didn't pay much attention to external matters, he protected his laboratory very meticulously, setting up many prohibitions that stopped Qin Feng from directly entering.

Nonetheless, he didn't care much about this. Since he couldn't sneak in secretly, he'd just kill his way in.

Thus, his figure rose directly from underground, standing in the corridor, and walked openly to the entrance of the mage's laboratory, knocking on the door with a rapping sound.

"Who is it?"

Inside, the mage who was concocting a magic potion was startled by a knocking sound that nearly broke the door of his laboratory. His palm trembled for a moment, and then he messed up the proportions of the ingredients. A wisp of black smoke immediately rose from the potion in the clear glass bottle below.

Annoyed by the disturbance that caused his hard-earned potion to fail, he snapped, "Who is it outside, daring to disturb my experiment?"

From outside, an unfamiliar voice responded, "Lord Mage, there are demon beasts attacking outside the mine. If you do not come out soon, the beasts will break into your laboratory."

The furious mage, hearing that a demon beast had breached the area, reluctantly suppressed his anger, "How could a demon beast enter without making a sound? Didn't any alerts come from the warning spells I set up? Have all the surrounding magic traps failed to work as well?"

"I'm not sure myself, perhaps it's a flying magical beast, which hasn't triggered the magic traps you've set."

"Hmph, a bunch of useless fools. Why does everyone always come to me for help? I am a mage, not a warrior. Isn't fighting supposed to be what those warriors do?"

The middle-aged mage inside, dressed in a gray mage robe, opened the door and came out. Seeing Qin Feng, who was also wearing a mage robe, he was slightly taken aback, "Are you the mage who was recently assigned here? Great, at last, I don't have to stay in this accursed place.

"Where's the demon beast? Why haven't I heard anything?"

"It's right here!"

Qin Feng chuckled slightly, and suddenly a pitch-black serpentine shadow over a meter long sprung out from his own shadow and coiled around the mage.

"Ah, a Shadow Demon Snake..."

The mage cried out in surprise and immediately activated the emergency magic on his body, intending to protect himself.

Unfortunately, the spells on his body were enough to defend against a Shadow Demon Snake, but what was entwined around him now was not a Shadow Demon Snake; it was a Ruyi Golden Snake that had merged with the abilities of the Shadow Demon Snake.

The scales on Ruyi Golden Snake's body stood erect like thousands of tiny saw teeth. After circling the mage twice, it cut through the magic shield outside his body. With a strong squeeze, the Ruyi Golden Snake broke every bone in the Demon Clan mage's body, and with a scream, he met a gruesome death.

After the Ruyi Golden Snake slithered off him, the mage's body collapsed to the ground like a twisted dough, limp and twisted.

The mage's dying screams drew the attention of other members of the Demon Clan, and soon footsteps could be heard.

When the guards of the Demon Clan realized that the dead was none other than the esteemed mage, they were struck with terror and hurriedly rushed to report to the other two Demon Clan leaders.

At the same time, screams of terror were echoing through the mines, with guards exclaiming that a demon beast had infiltrated and urgently asking for the leaders to come and support.

Thus the two leaders split up; one was summoned to the mine, while after receiving the news, the other decided to check on the condition of the mage first.

After all, in these remote and wild mountains, they could hardly do without the help of a mage. Without the warning spells set by the mage, it would be easy for stealthy demon beasts to get close and attack their guards.

When he arrived at the mage's laboratory and saw the mage lying on the ground with a shattered skeleton and no sign of life, he could not help but fly into a rage.

"Who killed Lord Mage?"

That Demon Clan leader, seething with ferocity, grabbed the neck of the guard who had informed him and brought him close, his eyes flashing with an insane killing intent as he glared at the guard and bellowed.

"Lord... my lord, behind you..."

The guard struggled desperately, pulling at the leader's hand clasped around his neck, trying to speak.

However, with a surge of hostility in his heart, the Demon Clan leader was completely deaf to what the guard was saying, nor did he see reflected in the guard's pupil, a pitch-black figure appearing right behind him.

"Crack... Splat..."

Two almost simultaneous light sounds were heard.

The first was the sound of the guard's neck being twisted and broken by the leader, and the second was the sound of Qin Feng's finger piercing through the Demon Clan leader's back.

The leader had not realized at all that within the shadow of the mage lying on the ground, there was another figure hidden.

Then, he was stealthily attacked.

Qin Feng's Golden Hole Finger Divine Power had already condensed into a Divine Power Seed, and after continuously absorbing the Golden Qi to merge with it, it had become exceptionally powerful. With a casual poke, it was as if piercing into tofu, directly puncturing the Demon Clan leader's armor and leaving a bloody hole in his back.

"Ah..."

The Demon Clan leader screamed in pain, his figure darted forward, freeing himself from Qin Feng's finger as blood sprayed from the wound on his back.

Qin Feng inwardly sighed with regret; if only his strength had been sufficient to fully grow the Divine Power Seed into a complete Divine Skill, he might have been able to refine all five fingers into the Golden Hole Finger, allowing him to severely injure or even kill the opponent with a single strike.

However, now was not the time for such thoughts.

He waved his hand to release the Swallowing Sky Toad, Fire Ape, and Soul Devouring Vine Demon, ordering these Spiritual Beasts to join him in battle.

He had to kill this Demon promptly to avoid having to face two Demon Clan leaders at once.

"Who are you?"

The Demon Clan leader turned around to face Qin Feng, who was shrouded in a wide Mage Robe and also wearing a Demon Mask, and asked angrily.

However, before he could finish his sentence, his expression changed drastically.

Because he suddenly saw several Demon Beasts suddenly appear in front of him.

If it were under normal circumstances, he wouldn't care much about these few beasts, whose presence was clearly far weaker than his own, but now, with his heart damaged and lacking strength, he would have fallen to the ground if not for the powerful Magic Power within his body suppressing it.

Furthermore, each of the three summoned beasts was so unique, especially the Soul Devouring Vine Demon, which upon its arrival had densely covered the entire room with its vines, intending to block his escape route.

The Demon Clan leader hurriedly swung his War Hammer, sending out fiery blasts of power, damaging many vines, as he tried to blast his way out, planning to reunite with his fellow comrade before dealing with this elusive foe.

Qin Feng sneered coldly, still thinking of escape now?

Wishful thinking!

A flash of yellow light under his feet, he activated Shrinking Ground to Inch and took a step forward, already standing before the Demon, swinging his Magic Wand, unleashing the Azure Dragon Emerges from the Sea.

Although this Magic Wand was not the Sky Battle Halberd and not suited for deploying the Azure Dragon Battle Skill, it didn't matter, he didn't consider himself the main attacker; this move was simply to draw the opponent's attention, creating an opportunity for the Swallowing Sky Toad and Fire Ape behind the Demon Clan leader.

Star Patterns appeared on the Swallowing Sky Toad's back, shooting numerous Star Lights onto the Demon Clan leader.

Star Power shattered the Demon, effectively breaking through his Demonic Qi defense.

What followed was the Fire Ape's attack.

Although its Cultivation Realm was not as high as the Demon Clan leader's, in terms of Physical Body Power, it was no less.

The Fire Ape roared, and its giant claws blazed with roaring fire, clenched into a fist, and smashed toward the Demon Clan leader's head.

The Demon Clan leader was horrified and hurriedly turned to defend.

But before he could raise his arm, he suddenly felt a tightness around his body.

It was the Ruyi Golden Snake that had taken him by surprise, crawling out from his shadow and coiling around his body.

With a little time, he could have escaped the Ruyi Golden Snake's binding.

Unfortunately for him, the Fire Ape's fist was already upon him, slamming into his head with a thunderous blow.

The Demon Clan commander staggered, nearly toppling to the ground.

He was not dead yet.

Even though one of his horns had been broken off by the ferocious strength of the Fire Ape, and his head had been so scorched by the flames that not a single hair remained, his formidable life force still kept him from dying.

But for the time being, he had lost all ability to resist. His head buzzed, seeing stars, and before he could regain his senses, the Ruyi Golden Snake opened its mouth and sprayed Ruyi Golden Light, severing his head.

Another Demon Clan commander had gone to the mining tunnel with the guards, intending to slay the demonic beasts that had suddenly burst in.

But when he got there, he didn't even encounter a single hair of the demonic beasts.

"What's going on? Where are the beasts?"

The commander asked in a cold voice.

"Just now, two demonic beasts suddenly appeared; one was a giant ape that could breathe fire, and the other was a bloodthirsty vine. They killed some of our brothers and then vanished just as we were about to gather and counterattack."

The guards were also dumbfounded, unsure of how to explain the situation.

Fortunately, the commander saw the corpses of the guards, drained clean of blood by the Vine Demon, as well as traces of fire on the walls of the mining tunnel, and knew that a battle must have happened. This kept him from venting his anger on the guards.

"Are you saying that those two beasts appeared and disappeared all of a sudden?"

The Demon Clan commander's face was full of puzzlement: "Could it be magical beasts that can use Space Movement magic?

But such creatures are rare, and even if it really was Space Movement, it's unlikely to manifest in two different species of magical beasts at the same time.

Just as he was wondering about it, he suddenly heard a piercing roar from outside.

His expression changed instantly: "Damn it, it's a trap!"

It seemed their opponent had used a diversionary tactic, separating the strong defenders of the veins, then picking them off one by one.

He ran fast towards the exit of the mining tunnel, hoping to save his companion before he got killed.

Otherwise, relying solely on his own strength, he might not be able to hold off the attacking enemy.

Even though he was fast, he was still a step too late.

When he arrived at the mage's room, he found his companion's corpse bisected.

Beside it lay the body of that mage who always seemed odd.

"Quick, hurry back to the city for reinforcements!"

The Demon Clan commander bellowed, ordering the nearby guards to call for help.

The three of them had barely managed to defend this place; now he was the only one left to face an unknown enemy lurking in the shadows — they were certainly overestimating him.

Before he could finish his words, he saw several vines already lashing towards him.

Following closely was the Fire Ape, descending from the shattered roof of the building.

This time, the Fire Ape seemed even more violent; roaring before its body completely touched the ground, its long arms already reached for the Demon Clan commander's neck.

"How dare you!"

The Demon Clan commander roared furiously, swinging his War Sword, intending to slay the Fire Ape before him.
