Chapter 47 Soul Devouring Beast

After returning from Lingbao Pavilion, Liu Sijun told herself that she couldn't be resentful of the rich and needed to rest well. Starting tomorrow, every day would be extremely dangerous, and she couldn't afford to be distracted.

The next day, just before dawn, Liu Sijun and his group were already fully prepared to depart.

Today she wore a black, tight-fitting robe, with a dark purple wide belt cinching her waist. Storage pouches hung from her waist, and her long hair was casually tied back. She looked dashing and heroic, a stark contrast to her outfit yesterday.

Qin Shuyao smiled at Liu Sijun, but the smile didn't reach her eyes.

She stood with Gu Changzhou and spoke in a hostess manner: "Shuyao has already told us what to pay attention to yesterday. From now on, everyone must be careful and cautious, so as to bring glory to our Laiyang County and not disgrace the Marquis."

Qin Zibin said smugly, "Don't worry, sister, I've remembered everything."

"Okay, let's not delay any longer, let's set off!"

At the entrance to the Frozen Domain.

Liu Shiyuan: "There are significantly more cultivators participating in the training this year than in previous years!"

Qin Songyu: "This year alone, Laiyang County has six, not to mention the other prefectures and counties."

Judging from the tone of his voice, it was as if his Liu family was holding them back.

Liu Shiyuan was unhappy.

Thinking to myself: My Liu family is the head of the three clans, and we even have a Golden Core disciple this time. Who does your Qin family have? This self-proclaimed genius girl from Laiyang County, Qin Shuyao, has only been in the late Foundation Establishment stage for two years since joining the Brahma Sound Sect. What's with this sarcastic tone? Tch…

About half an hour later, it was finally their turn. Mo Linhou walked in front. The recorder glanced at him and was about to lower his head to record when he suddenly raised his head again.

"building……"

"Lord Molin, why are you leading the team?"

"Ok!"

"Hmm?" Liang Chen was both amused and exasperated; he didn't know how to respond.

Qin Zibin asked, "Does the recorder know Marquis Molin?"

Liang Chen: "The renowned Marquis Mo Lin, who doesn't know him?"

After saying that, he turned around and carefully instructed them on the precautions to take once inside. He then handed each of them a green talisman: "This is a locating talisman. If you encounter danger, we can use this talisman to quickly find rescue. Please keep it safe!"

Chu Yanming took it and immediately put it into the container.

"That way it won't get lost."

"No."

Liang Chen stopped him: "If we put it in a mustard seed, we won't be able to locate it. It's better to put it in a purse or keep it close to your body."

After giving his instructions, Liang Chen led them to the teleportation stone in the Frozen Domain.

Unlike the teleportation array last night, this teleportation stone will randomly send people to the corresponding area of ​​the Frozen Domain based on their cultivation level.

Whoever can reach the center of the Frozen Domain the fastest and destroy the locator will win.

Each sect will select suitable disciples based on their ranking.

When Liu Sijun opened his eyes again, he was not surrounded by snow, but in a deep forest.

Ancient trees reach for the sky, vines intertwine, and sunlight filters through the dense canopy, dappling the moss-covered ground. Birdsong fills the air, and the low growls of ferocious beasts echo from afar.

Liu Sijun sensed the surroundings carefully, then jumped onto the towering Mist Plum Spirit Tree beside him, perfectly concealing himself.

A gigantic Soul-Devouring Beast instantly appeared where she had just been standing.

Its entire body was as black as ink, its skin resembling copper and iron, shimmering with a metallic luster. Its eyes were dark and deep, seemingly capable of devouring not only human souls, but also anything of the soul, transforming it into its own cultivation.

The only saving grace is that this soul-devouring beast is still a minor and has only just begun to develop intelligence.

Even so, it's still not easy to deal with. I never expected to encounter such a powerful beast so soon after entering.

Liu Sijun tensed up, held her breath, and prepared for a bloody battle if she were discovered.

The Soul-Devouring Beast panted and circled the large tree. Perhaps because it hadn't found any human cultivators, it became restless and its hard hide kept ramming into the surrounding trees. The trees couldn't withstand the Soul-Devouring Beast's impacts, and one by one they fell to the ground.

The tree where she found refuge also met its demise.

As the Mist Plum Spirit Tree collapsed with a crash, Liu Sijun already held his usual longsword and thrust it towards the Soul Devouring Beast's eyes.

According to the book, the Soul-Eating Beast's weakness lies in its eyes.

The Soul-Devouring Beast reacted swiftly, opening its massive maw and spewing out terrifying black gas. Liu Sijun's expression changed slightly, and she spun around and retreated to avoid it.

The black aura of the Soul-Devouring Beast can corrode most weapons. The longsword in my hand was touched by it and a large nick appeared. It was truly terrifying.

Liu Sijun focused his attention and was on high alert, his mind racing as he searched for a way to defeat his enemy.

Before she could come up with a countermeasure, the Soul-Eating Beast attacked again. She leaped forward, dodging the attack like a nimble leopard, and then her body plummeted down, her right hand gripping the knife and aiming it at its eyes once more.

Sensing danger, it gradually went berserk under duress, using its advantages to rampage wildly, forcing Liu Sijun to once again sheathe his sword and dodge.

Suddenly, Liu Sijun's movements became strange, and the Soul-Devouring Beast could not catch his figure at all.

"puff"

It was the sound of flesh being pierced.

The Soul-Devouring Beast let out a shrill roar, its head shaking violently. Liu Sijun gripped the hilt of his knife tightly, gritted his teeth, and thrust it forward another half inch.

"roar~"

The Soul-Devouring Beast's cries grew increasingly painful. With each agonizing roar, cracks appeared in its steel-hard armor, which then crumbled off like mud, leaving the beast covered in blood.

The pain was excruciating, but it did not subside at all; instead, it pounced on Liu Sijun with even greater frenzy.

Time seemed to stand still. The Soul-Devouring Beast was too fast, and it was determined to perish together with the enemy. But Liu Sijun became calmer and calmer as the battle progressed.

Instead of dodging, she channeled ninety percent of her spiritual power into her longsword when the Soul-Devouring Beast was within reach. The longsword crackled as if enveloped in lightning, finally piercing the Soul-Devouring Beast's body. Enormous energy continued to erupt within it, ultimately shattering its body.

"roar~"

Before dissipating, the Soul-Eating Beast let out a desperate roar.

Seeing it vanish without a trace, Liu Sijun finally dared to release the anger in his chest. His body swayed precariously, and he plunged his longsword into the ground, kneeling on the ground, panting.

This Soul-Devouring Beast was still a cub, and there must be more nearby. Liu Sijun dared not linger. After catching his breath, he immediately sheathed his sword and left the place.

Before we had gone far, several brightly colored butterflies suddenly appeared around us, their wings shimmering in the sunlight, like little sprites of the place.

She continued walking without stopping, and after about half an hour, she left the dense forest and came to a clear stream. It meandered among the water plants and trees, and a few fallen leaves floated on the surface, creating ripples.

They should have already left the area where the Soul-Eating Beast was active.

Liu Sijun thought to himself, squatted down, scooped up some stream water with his hands, and drank a few mouthfuls.

The water plants trembled from time to time, and Liu Sijun vigilantly observed his surroundings.

Suddenly, a frostfish leaped out of the water.

The nearly transparent Frostfish is so difficult to catch if it weren't for its black eyes and its intense focus on the surface of the water.

"Hey, another one."

Liu Sijun's face lit up with joy: "I actually encountered the Frostfish in this place."
