I Built A Family Of Immortal Cultivators

Chapter 394: Tianning Beast

Immediately, Lin Qing took out the Diamond Bracelet. As for the Imperial Thousand Shield, it had been flying under his feet and now started rotating in front of him.

Upon seeing Lin Qing take out the treasure, both of them felt relieved. However, the skinny cultivator next to the refined male cultivator found it strange and asked, "Could there be a mistake? Why did it suddenly come towards us? For the past few days, it has been constantly escaping from us whenever we chased after it. How could it suddenly break through and come towards us?"

The refined male cultivator also found it strange, but after glancing at Lin Qing, he said, "I don't know, maybe there's another reason. But now that we have convinced this person to take action, his strength is formidable and should be no problem. At worst, the two of us have been practicing escape techniques all along. We can let him take the lead, and if there's any danger, we can easily escape."

The skinny cultivator nodded and stopped saying more. Regardless of why the Tianning Beast had come, the two of them would not let it go easily.

Lin Qing's spiritual consciousness was stronger than these two people's, and he sensed the aura of the Tianning Beast from afar. He showed a hint of surprise. He didn't expect the strength of the Tianning Beast to be at the late stage of Gold Core. It exceeded his imagination. He thought it would be at most at the mid stage of Gold Core.

"You two are really bold, daring to chase and kill a late stage Gold Core demonic beast in the Endless Sea," Lin Qing said, looking at the two of them.

Being addressed like this by Lin Qing, the refined male cultivator took out a treasure that looked like an inkstone and said with a bitter smile, "Fellow Daoist, you don't know, the two of us have been trapped at the mid stage of Gold Core for a long time. We have no choice but to do this. Otherwise, we wouldn't be acting like madmen, facing such a demonic beast."

As he spoke, the skinny male cultivator next to him also took out a treasure that looked like a copper coin.

At this moment, Lin Qing's gaze flickered. Judging from the treasures these two people took out, they didn't seem to be ordinary items. Their strength was probably not weak. Just now, they said that they wouldn't be inferior to the late stage of Gold Core when they joined forces. Now it seemed that it might be true, and they might even be stronger.

"Alright, since that's the case, both of you must give it your all later. Don't think that with me here, you can just sit back and enjoy the benefits without exerting your full strength. Be careful not to regret it," Lin Qing said coldly. Although they were going to join forces against the enemy now, he still had to make things clear to avoid any unpleasantness.

Upon being addressed like this by Lin Qing, the expressions of the two men changed, especially when they looked at Lin Qing's Diamond Bracelet. They forced a smile, and the refined male cultivator said, "Please rest assured, Fellow Daoist. We are definitely not that kind of people. Besides, we don't have the confidence to gain any benefits from Fellow Daoist. Fellow Daoist is obviously a powerful individual. Of course, we will give it our all. Please don't hold back either."

Lin Qing nodded slightly and didn't say anything more because the Tianning Beast had already arrived below the two of them.

Lin Qing looked over and was surprised. This Tianning Beast had a strange appearance. It was small in size, with a head similar to that of a human, but its body was a grayish-purple fish-like shape, which looked extremely bizarre.

"Fellow Daoist, this is the beast. Although we don't know why it suddenly came looking for us, it's a good thing. However, it's a bit disadvantageous for us to fight it like this. Why don't we all go to that small island? We can also have more room to maneuver," the refined male cultivator suggested, pointing to the small island. The island was not far from here and seemed to have a decent size, but it was extremely desolate. Fighting on it would be easier. However, would the Tianning Beast follow them?

What surprised Lin Qing was that after the two men flew towards the small island, the Tianning Beast actually followed them.

Lin Qing hesitated for a moment, sensing something unusual. How could this demonic beast voluntarily follow humans? It seemed illogical if it was trying to solve the problem all at once. Thinking of this, Lin Qing became more cautious and decided to hold back later, in case something unexpected happened.

After the Tianning Beast followed the two people to the small island, it unexpectedly leaped out of the water and instantly transformed into a human form, but its skin remained the same grayish-purple color.

"You two are like maggots clinging to bones, thinking that I'm afraid of you. Today, we will settle this matter," the Tianning Beast said, speaking very clearly and fluently, on par with human cultivators.

The elegant man smiled and spoke, "Since we're going to settle this matter, it couldn't be better. We're tired of tracking you like this. Don't blame us for being ruthless later. Blame whoever made it effective for you to break through the bottleneck."

When the elegant man said this, a hint of cruelty appeared on the face of the Tianning Beast, causing Lin Qing to hesitate even more.

"Our Tianning clan's breakthrough method is effective. It's not our fault. But you human cultivators have been hunting us recklessly, repeatedly pushing our Tianning clan to the brink. It's you humans who deserve to die. You've even brought reinforcements on this trip, it seems you really want to kill me," the Tianning Beast said, glancing at Lin Qing.

To be honest, Lin Qing was starting to feel like leaving. After all, this matter was quite unusual. Not only did the Tianning Beast not show any fear when facing the three of them, but there was also something suspicious about it. Did this beast have some other reliance?

Lin Qing activated his divine sense to probe the surrounding sea surface, but did not find any traces of other Gold Core demonic beasts.

Not only Lin Qing, but even the other two felt that something was off. They had originally planned to make a move as soon as they arrived on the island, but now they hesitated.

"What's wrong? Are you scared? Did I scare you with just a few words? You humans are truly despicable and pitiful. You show no mercy to the weak and grovel before the strong. You live a truly pitiful existence."

"Enough!"

Suddenly, the elegant cultivator shouted loudly and threw the inkstone in his hand.

This inkstone was made of an unknown black material. As it flew in mid-air, it continuously grew larger and emitted a dense black aura, resembling ink but not quite. In no time, the entire inkstone was covered in this aura.

When the inkstone flew above the Tianning Beast, the black aura on it suddenly rushed towards the Tianning Beast. Of course, the Tianning Beast wouldn't let the black aura on the inkstone touch it. It immediately opened its mouth and spewed out a dense gray aura, forcing the black aura back.

"Go!"

At the same time, the thin and weak male cultivator on the side also used the copper coins in his hand.

These copper coins initially had a size of only one inch, but as they rotated in the air, they quickly grew to over ten feet, displaying astonishing power. When they arrived above the Tianning Beast, they emitted a golden light that enveloped the Tianning Beast in an instant.

"Boom!"

The Tianning Beast was not an ordinary creature. Its body suddenly grew a layer of purple scales, resembling snake scales, which covered its entire body.

This purple armor had extraordinary defensive power. As soon as it appeared, not only did it repel the copper coins, but it also forced the inkstone to retreat by a distance of over ten feet.
