Starting Immortal Cultivation from a White Dog

Chapter 42 The lingering ghost
Wu Tian's current talents have two that can play a direct role in battle: Thousand Mile Swiftness and Avoiding Misfortune.

The ability to travel a thousand miles allows him to have speeds far exceeding those of others, while the ability to seek good fortune and avoid misfortune allows him to have complete knowledge of the enemy's movements.

Whether the opponent intends to unleash a deadly attack or turn to flee, it cannot escape his perception.

Even the changes in his body shape and the distortion of the angle of his moves were all within his perception.

The talent of seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune was originally an advancement of the Wind Spirit talent, and its initial source was the Listening to the Wind skill.

Neither the Wind Listening skill nor the Wind Spirit talent disappeared; instead, they were all integrated into the Fortune Seeking and Misfortune Avoiding talent, and underwent evolution and sublimation.

This gave Wu Tian a far greater control over the entire battlefield than his enemies, and coupled with his own extreme speed, he was able to firmly control the rhythm of the battle.

They are adept at advancing and retreating, and decisive in their actions.

So now that only two enemies remained, the balance of power had completely shifted, and he didn't hesitate to charge straight at them.

As expected, the three corpses that fell to the ground one after another had already terrified the two Wild Dog Cave disciples in front of them, even scaring them out of their wits.

If they hadn't just witnessed the horrific scene of their senior brother being bitten to death from behind after he fled, they would have already been running for their lives.

"Senior sister, we can't run away. We can't turn our backs on them. We'll just get bitten to death if we do that," the male disciple said through gritted teeth.

"I...I know that if the two of us stall for a while, the other three junior brothers and sisters should be able to catch up soon," the female disciple said, her voice trembling slightly, as if she were trying to comfort herself.

"When the time comes, the five of us can join forces to kill this beast and avenge our other fellow disciples who died tragically."

As the two were talking, Wu Tian pounced on them without any mercy.

He was too fast, and pounced on the enemy fiercely, his sharp fangs tearing open a wound from which blood instantly flowed.

At this moment, another enemy pounced on him from behind. Seeing that he was in a good position, he twisted his body and ran away.

After escaping a certain distance, he quickly changed position, waited for the right moment, and then pounced again.

This time, his target was still the male disciple he had just bitten.

Even though the two were positioned to support each other, Wu Tian was much faster than them, especially in the jungle where trees could conceal his figure. By the time they saw Wu Tian, ​​it was already too late.

"Ouch!! It hurts so much!"

After another attack, Wu Tian tore a large piece of flesh from the male disciple's body before retreating.

But the male disciple couldn't take it anymore. His flesh was being torn off one after another, and the intense pain almost made him faint.

At this moment, he was writhing on the ground in pain, unable to maintain his wild dog form any longer, and transformed into human form. Blood kept flowing from his wounds, one on his back and one on his thigh.

The bloody wounds were a shocking sight.

The female disciple was terrified. She no longer cared about her junior brother and kept backing away, screaming, "Don't kill me, don't kill me, I won't bother you anymore..."

"I'm leaving now!"

"Ahhh... Senior sister, save me! I don't want to die!" A dark shadow suddenly appeared before the male disciple's eyes. Blood-dripping fangs were reflected in his pupils. He was plunged into immense despair and fear, roaring hysterically. His body was convulsing, and he lost control of his bladder.

Click!

With a crisp sound of bones shattering, the painful roar abruptly stopped as Wu Tian used his fangs to crush the enemy's throat.

This scene completely broke the female disciple. She lost all reason and was filled with fear. She then began to flee desperately.

A dozen or so breaths later, another body fell to the ground.

She was a woman who looked to be in her early twenties. Although her appearance was ordinary, she had a good figure with curves in all the right places. But now she lay on the ground covered in blood, her eyes wide open, filled with fear.

...Both Man Xiongmu and Tong Guan, who had been watching the battle from afar, fell silent. Neither of them had expected such a scene.

Man Xiongmu assumed that Wu Tian would be defeated in the battle and would flee into the forbidden area for protection.

Tong Guan thought so too. After all, the difference in numbers between the two sides was too great. Eight disciples at the Qi Cultivation Realm could not possibly be at a disadvantage when they surrounded and killed each other. At most, two or three disciples would be bitten to death.

But he never imagined that so many people would die in such a short time...

Tong Guan's face turned ashen, his deep blue eyes narrowed to slits, and he felt an uncontrollable murderous intent and apprehension.

At this moment, Man Xiongmu chuckled and said, "Senior Brother Tong, what do you say?"

After a moment of silence, Tong Guan said, "I can give you the heart of the thousand-year-old iron tree, but not the Devouring Moon Qi Circulation Diagram..."

Just as they were talking, the hunt in the jungle came to an end.

The five strongest disciples were all bitten to death, and the remaining three disciples were the weakest and had not yet forged their beast armor.

Wu Tian used his extreme speed to kill one of them in a single exchange.

It spun around rapidly, changing direction as it circled the woods, and once it found an opportunity, it leaped forward and killed another person.

The remaining person was completely terrified, standing there dumbfounded, unable to even make a move to resist, before having his throat bitten off.

Wu Tian was covered in blood, but he turned around and glanced into the depths of the forest. He had already sensed the location of Tong Guan and Man Xiongmu, even though cultivators at their level could perfectly conceal their aura.

However, Tong Guan's malice was too obvious, while Man Xiongmu was a blessing that protected his safety. With his innate perception, he could not hide the location of the two of them from him at all.

Wu Tian seemed to be at a great distance as he stared into Tong Guan's deep blue eyes.

He bared his fangs, and blood dripped down.

After a while, he turned and left, slowly walking towards the hot spring halfway up the mountain.

This battle-scarred jungle was not far from the hot springs.

Once Wu Tian's figure disappeared into the forbidden area, Tong Guan could no longer peer into it, nor did he dare to continue doing so, as the aura or Dao field of that person completely enveloped him.

He took a deep breath. "I can pass on the Moon Devouring Qi Circulation Diagram, but I will set up a restriction so that only it can cultivate it and it cannot be passed on to outsiders."

After saying that, he didn't wait for Man Xiongmu's reply. A gust of wind rose up around him, enveloping his body, and he headed towards the mountain gate without looking back.

Man Xiongmu didn't even look at him, gazing towards the forbidden area with a smile on his face. "Not bad, not bad, what a hunt! Hahaha!"

He also turned and left, but this time he headed down the mountain; this time, he was truly leaving.

Meanwhile, in the jungle where the battle had just taken place, black smoke suddenly billowed from the fallen corpses, accompanied by the howls of ghosts and the barking of dogs. The ghosts of five wild dog spirits struggled to crawl out from the tattered animal hides.

Their bodies resembled black smoke, and their pupils were entirely scarlet, filled with hatred and madness. After shedding their animal skins, they roared and howled like demons.

However, at that moment, blood-red runes appeared on the foreheads of these wild dog spirits, and a huge banner that seemed to blot out the sky appeared from the void atop Skull Mountain, with one corner of it trembling slightly.

The five vengeful spirits instantly transformed into five plumes of black smoke, soaring into the sky before disappearing into the massive banner that covered the entire mountaintop.

Faintly, one could hear the roars of a hundred beasts, the howls of dragons and tigers, and the wails of ghosts, echoing throughout the heavens and earth.

Soon all the strange phenomena disappeared, as if they had never happened.

Even the scene that just happened was only witnessed by a handful of people on the entire Skull Mountain.
