Chapter 129 - 128 Roe Owl
Big and Small Liu meticulously explained to Tie Dan all the flaws in the monster’s skills, not due to arrogance, nor due to naivety.
Having cultivated to the Core Formation Realm and forcing a Nascent Soul Demon to flee in panic, the two of them were not to be taken lightly. So, in short, they were perceptive enough to see that Tie Dan and Baiyu, this pair of Daoist companions, were blessed with strong fortune and great skills, and thus entrusted them with the task of demon extermination.
Of course, Big and Small Liu also wished to seize this opportunity themselves, to deal with that roe owl, slay the demon, take its elixir, and earn some Heavenly Materials Treasures, Immortal Fate, and luck, but the problem was that it was impossible to achieve it with just the two of them.
After all, although they had reached the Golden Core Realm and joined the Outer Door of the Mystic Sect, most of them had solid foundations, firm cultivation, and carried various magic treasures and secret techniques, yet they lacked a powerful tunneling secret technique.
Although the Mystic Sect naturally had no shortage of advanced escape skills, the problem was that you must eat meal by meal; without mastering the myriad of secret techniques, not even knowing how much Breathing Qi you have, pursuing such an ultimate Escape Technique with vast consumption is laughable.
Moreover, various sects’ escape techniques are often deeply linked to the core ultimate skills of Sect Qi Skills secret manuals, and so it’s impossible for mentors to teach you all of it right off the bat, as it would only harm the disciples.
Only Tie Dan, lacking a proper master’s guidance, had endured various hardships, battled through numerous calamities, and somehow gained the Blood Escape, Earth Escape, and Ice Escape—three top-notch escape techniques. Such Immortal Fate is not common among most cultivators.
However, this lack has become a shortcoming in demon extermination.
If there’s no way to catch up to the roe owl, it can’t be trapped or blocked, and unless they had a strategy targeting this monster or pre-set array traps, it would naturally be challenging to overcome this beast.
Moreover, Big and Small Liu could see that the Great Demon had eaten many people and swallowed many monsters as it ventured south and had already reached its peak. So, the saying "the third time’s a charm" applied here; if it escaped again, allowing this roe owl Great Demon to survive the slaughter catastrophe could lead it to break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm!
