Mythical Cultivation

Wu Ming looked ahead at two demonic beasts crouching not far ahead, their bodies covered in purple lightning, scanning the surroundings with a fierce gaze. He thought to himself, "It seems I must first resolve these two problems if I want to obtain the spiritual object." With his mind made up, he suddenly activated his inner energy and formed a hand seal.

In an instant, a sword gleaming with dazzling golden light soared into the air from his side, carrying an unparalleled sword energy, and slashed directly towards the purple electric martens! However, these two purple electric martens were no ordinary creatures. They keenly sensed the approaching danger and instantly entered a state of high alert.

In the blink of an eye, one of the purple electric martens pounced on Wu Ming like a flash of purple lightning, with its fangs and claws bared, as if it wanted to eat him alive. It vowed to tear this human who coveted the spiritual creature into pieces and turn him into nutrients for the Earth Spirit Flower.

The other charged head-on at the whistling golden sword, its razor-sharp claws clawing fiercely at the blade, attempting to stop its advance. The two collided with a resounding clang, the tip of the golden sword colliding with the purple electric marten's claws in mid-air, sending up countless sparks.

However, the other Purple Electric Marten swung its sharp claws with equal ferocity, lunging straight at Wu Ming! Unfortunately, this fierce attack was ultimately intercepted by the powerful basalt shield. Seeing an impenetrable wall suddenly erected before them, completely blocking their path, the Purple Electric Marten could not help but fly into a rage!

Its body twitched rapidly, darting around Wu Ming like a streak of purple lightning. It continuously extended its sharp claws, fiercely attacking the shield. Clearly, it was determined to break through this solid defense, but as time passed, the once rock-solid shield began to tremble slightly, seemingly poised to collapse at any moment.

Faced with such a predicament, Wu Ming remained remarkably calm. He rapidly formed spells with his hands, and in the blink of an eye, dozens of blazing fireballs shot out from his hands, showering the sky with flames and flying towards the purple electric marten that was frantically attacking him.

A flicker of surprise flashed across the eyes of the attacking Purple Lightning Marten, clearly not expecting so many fireballs to be directed at it. Although it knew these fireballs might not actually harm it, its gorgeous fur was invaluable, and if it were hit by a fireball, it would likely suffer significant damage.

Without hesitation, the Purple Electric Marten accelerated, nimbly weaving between the fireballs and carefully avoiding every deadly threat. Its movements were as nimble as a swallow and as light as flowing clouds, as if it were showcasing its extraordinary skills in a thrilling dance.

Meanwhile, Wu Ming didn't let up even a bit. He concentrated on mobilizing his inner essence, continuously injecting it into the Black Tortoise Shield, causing the once dim shield to glow brightly once again. With the infusion of essence, the Black Tortoise Shield's defensive power gradually returned to peak condition.

Having successfully dodged the fireball, the Purple Lightning Marten launched another fierce attack on the basalt shield, only to be surprised to find that the seemingly crumbling shield wall had actually recovered! All its previous efforts seemed to have vanished in this moment, leaving the Purple Lightning Marten feeling frustrated. However, faced with this sudden change, it did not lose heart, but quickly adjusted its strategy and prepared to launch a new and more fierce attack.

In the air, however, the scene was quite different. As the golden sword repeatedly collided with the purple electric marten, several wounds appeared on its body, and its beautiful fur became tattered. Furthermore, the constant loss of blood also made its physical strength somewhat insufficient.

The two purple electric martens weren't particularly powerful, roughly on par with Wu Ming, both remaining at the seventh level of Qi Refining. Because of this, they were confined to the outskirts of this mysterious land, guarding a small area within. However, their ability to maintain this habitat was largely due to their unparalleled speed. With their lightning-fast agility, they successfully drove away all the other nearby demonic beasts.

However, fate is full of twists and turns. Today, these two purple electric martens unexpectedly encountered a formidable foe: Wu Ming. To make matters worse, having never fought against human monks before, they knew nothing about their fighting styles. This lack of experience quickly put them at a disadvantage in the fierce battle with Wu Ming, putting their situation in a precarious position.

If they attacked Wu Ming at the same time, their strange speed might have made Wu Ming flustered. Unfortunately, they separated, which allowed Wu Ming to easily deal with two purple electric martens with the same level of cultivation as himself.

While a purple electric marten was still attacking the basalt shield, its companion was already in danger. Its speed gradually slowed down, and the wounds on its body continued to increase. At this time, Shanhe Yan, who was hiding nearby, appeared and imprisoned the slowing purple electric marten in place. The golden sword also found the perfect moment to pierce the stunned purple electric marten through the heart.

The purple electric marten only had time to let out a scream before it died. The purple electric marten that was attacking Wu Ming heard the scream and its furious mind was drawn back.

Witnessing the tragic death of its companions, it was filled with grief and fear. It clearly realized that the disparity in strength between itself and its enemies was too great, and if it continued to stay here, it would probably die. However, its desire for life made it unable to sit still and wait for death, and it had to escape this place as soon as possible.

It stared at Wu Ming with eyes wide open, hatred gleaming in them, as if it wanted to carve this abominable human into the depths of its soul. It secretly vowed that one day, it would seek justice for its fallen companions!

Then, without hesitation, it turned and sprinted towards the nearby field of blooming earth spirit flowers. It nimbly bent down and quickly picked up a few fresh earth spirit flowers with its mouth, its movements quick and decisive.

After finishing the picking, it didn't pause for a moment, dashing off like an arrow from a bow, its body as fast as lightning. In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the distant dense forest, leaving behind only a patch of trampled grass and a faint scent lingering in the air.

This place that once brought it endless joy has now become a place that breaks its heart. But it knows that only by leaving here can it have hope of survival and a chance to avenge its dead companions.

The purple electric marten's operation was completed in just a few breaths, leaving Wu Ming confused. He didn't expect the purple electric marten to be so intelligent. After its companion died, it immediately ran away.

Wu Ming looked at the few remaining Earth Spirit Flowers and plucked them into his storage bag. Originally there were eight Earth Spirit Flowers, but now there were only five. He had been careless, and the Purple Lightning Marten had snatched away three before leaving.
