Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities

However, the Evil Beast was too fast. Often, they had just locked onto its figure and hadn’t yet begun their attack when the opponent would simply flicker and vanish.

So, facing this Evil Beast, despite the number and strength of the cultivators, they could only barely hold their ground and even fell into a disadvantage.

Even when two people attacked, their strikes landing on the Evil Beast only produced a clanging sound, sparks erupting, at most cracking some scales and leaving some shallow wounds.

"Such quick speed, such strong defense...it seems this Evil Beast is really difficult to deal with."

Gu Yuan raised an eyebrow as he watched.

With his eyesight, he clearly saw that although this Evil Beast was at the Golden Core level, its physique was much stronger than that of body cultivators of the same level.

The layer of scales on its body had been tempered by Evil Qi over the years, with astonishing strength. Even top magical artifacts may not break its defense, so ordinary Golden Core Great Cultivators really don’t have much of a way to deal with these Evil Beasts.

Gu Yuan didn’t plan to snatch this Evil Beast with the crowd but continued deeper, looking for other Evil Beasts.

Anyway, in this underground world, there should be plenty of Evil Beasts; otherwise, that guy wouldn’t have said such words.

Sure enough, not long after, Gu Yuan noticed a hidden and cold gaze fall on himself.

Gu Yuan kept walking calmly, as if he hadn’t noticed anything. But actually, a strand of faint Divine Thought had already enveloped an area of more than ten yards around him.

Any slight disturbance around would be immediately detected by him.

Unexpectedly, the owner of the gaze didn’t act rashly, choosing instead to quietly stare at Gu Yuan for a while.

After about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the faint Evil Qi surrounding began to show some fluctuations. Gu Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly and deliberately appeared cautious.

At the same time, he also detected that two other gazes from two different directions were fixed on him.

Gu Yuan raised his hand and grasped, the surrounding water vapor and Evil Qi rapidly gathered, forming a dark green long knife, emitting a solid and cold aura.

Suddenly!

A faint shadow shot from the rear right, swift in its movement, with a gleam of cold light casting a long streak in the air, poised to land on Gu Yuan, threatening to tear open his chest and abdomen, eviscerating him.

Yet Gu Yuan didn’t even blink, casually raising the long knife in an upward swing.

Clang!!!

With a crisp sound, tinged with the tremor of metal clashing, Gu Yuan directly struck it away.

At this moment, the blurry shadow revealed its true form; it was clearly an Evil Beast six or seven meters long with dark green scales all over its body, limbs with sharp claws like sickles, and a mouth full of triangular, razor-sharp teeth!

Particularly on its head, a three-inch sharp horn flashed with a cold light.

Its eyes glared fiercely, locked onto Gu Yuan.

A long wound appeared on one of its arms, scales shattered and curling back, revealing the white bone underneath.

Dark red, grayish blood dripped out, sizzling as it touched the ground.

Whoosh whoosh! Whoosh whoosh!

Just then, two more breezes stirred behind Gu Yuan, rushing toward him.

Without wasting a word, Gu Yuan’s long knife was instantly enveloped in a layer of faint, bright light.

As he swung it, a dazzling brilliance akin to shooting stars streaked across the air, directly slicing the two attacking Evil Beasts into four parts, their bodies falling lifelessly to the ground.

Gu Yuan raised his hand to beckon, casually collecting them. At this point, his dark green long knife had already turned into a clear, watery long sword.

This was Gu Yuan’s Lifebound Flying Sword, the Primordial Jade Scenery Sword!

Deception in battle is indispensable; these Evil Beasts have limited intelligence. Although they are quite wise, their wisdom is not abundant, especially given their incredible speed. Even if Gu Yuan pursued, he could only catch one, unless he employed the illusion and clone technique Dreamlike Flowers in the Void.

So, to kill more of them, Gu Yuan opted to feign weakness, resulting in his success.

Gu Yuan killed two Evil Beasts, angering the other, significantly larger Evil Beast. Its gaze bore more apprehension as it looked at Gu Yuan, yet it didn’t intend to leave, but rather its killing intent grew heavier.

Gu Yuan lifted his left hand, palm facing up, beckoning it with his fingers in a highly insulting gesture. Unsurprisingly, the Evil Beast got enraged, letting out a peculiar roar before barreling toward him.

But as it drew near, it finally emitted a black light.

A chilling aura shot rapidly forth, seemingly to freeze his divine soul.

Crunch crunch! Crunch crunch!

The ground quickly became coated in a layer of dark gray ice.

Gu Yuan appeared unaffected. As the ice on the ground reached him, it halted directly, and then Gu Yuan casually swung his sword, shattering the black light.

Yet at this moment, the Evil Beast had already lunged at Gu Yuan, seemingly ready to tear him apart at any moment.

With another hand, Gu Yuan formed a knife with his fingers, suddenly swiping down, a sharp sword light emerged.

Slash—

Accompanied by a subtle sound, the Evil Beast was split into two by Gu Yuan’s hand knife.

Looking at the Evil Beast’s corpse on the ground, Gu Yuan’s expression remained indifferent.

One can kill without a spearhead; what more for someone who mastered the Sword Dao Great Divine Techniques as a Golden Core Great Cultivator. Even without using the Lifebound Flying Sword Taiyuan, he could effortlessly execute unmatched sharp swordsmanship!

After collecting the Evil Beast’s corpse, Gu Yuan suddenly noticed some golden glimmers not far away, along with more exalted Evil Beast sounds. His curiosity got piqued.

Approaching some, he was surprised because Gu Yuan saw a relatively special Evil Beast engaged in a magical battle with a cultivator.

The cultivator was a young man, dressed in a dark cyan robe, with clear and handsome features, tall and upright, currently controlling a golden jade Dharma Seal, commanding powerful golden flames to push the Evil Beast back.

Upon seeing the golden flames, imbued with noble and domineering aura, Gu Yuan was visibly startled:

"Taiyang True Flame? Someone actually cultivated such True Flame?!"

His gaze shifted to the young cultivator, his eyes filled with curiosity: "Who is this person?"

Taiyang True Flame, one of the universe’s seven Innate True Flames, and when Gu Yuan cultivates to the Yin Spirit Realm, he can also use his mana to draw upon the Water Spirit Qi and Essence of Water between heaven and earth to condense the Taiyuan True Water.

Taiyuan True Water is one of the six Innate True Waters, renowned alongside Taiyang True Flame, Vermilion Bird Divine Flame, and other Innate True Flames.
