“It’s you!”
Wu Ming immediately recognized the burly servant A Li, who had confronted him in the secret chamber of Jia Kongming.
At this moment, it wasn’t only him; there were even more Spirit Taming Masters beside him, emanating a sharp, blood-soaked aura that gave Wu Ming a very ominous feeling: “Spirit Taming Masters from the military?”
“Troublesome! It seems I’ve offended a major power from the Star and Moon Empire… That woman, does she possess a prophetic-type Spirit from the Divine Realm?”
From their background, knowing about Jia Kongming’s inheritance from the beginning, their subsequent performances, and now being able to find him here, Wu Ming made this association.
“Correct!”
A somewhat astonished voice came forth. The Spirit Taming Masters on both sides parted, revealing Xing Qing clearly.
She was still veiled with a gauze scarf, but now she removed it, revealing an extremely exquisite and charming face: “The Star Yuan Fruit and Jia Kongming’s final notes! Hand over these two items, and I can personally guarantee you the rest!”
Pausing slightly, Xing Qing continued: “No matter where you run, my ‘Star Gaze’ has already memorized your aura. No matter how far you flee, I will always find you!”
“As expected… a Spirit from the Divine Realm, this is really troublesome…”
Wu Ming irritably shook his arm, his eyes flashing dangerous glints: “Are you forcing me to kill you first?”
“Protect the young mistress!”
A Li roared, instantly transforming into a fiery figure, swinging a giant flaming sword charging forward.
“Kill!”
The auras of four Spirit Taming Masters exploded forth, all of them clearly at the Soldier Rank, working together in perfect coordination, surrounding him from four corners.
Meanwhile, the other two Spirit Taming Masters remained calm and composed, merely guarding beside Xing Qing, exuding the aura of powerful experts.
“Two General Ranks, five Soldier Ranks!”
Wu Ming’s eyes glanced at A Li: “And… not ordinary Soldier Ranks either. This is going to be troublesome…”
After all, the Star and Moon Empire was a nation on another continent. Travel between continents was inconvenient, and local experts on each continent opposed the arrival of high-level foreign Spirit Taming Masters, harboring great hostility.
Moreover, even if one successfully infiltrated, other continents’ Spirits would suffer from incompatibility when arriving at the Flame Continent, requiring a long time to adapt.
Therefore, while ordinary people might be seen during intercontinental exchanges, Spirit Taming Masters were rarely encountered.
But what did Wu Ming see now?
Two General Ranks and five Soldier Ranks—this was already a considerable force even within the Dongfang Clan!
And this was a force deployed across continents, making it even more terrifying!
“Could it be that I’ve offended the royal family?”
A faint smile appeared on Wu Ming’s lips: “Too bad… even if you’re a princess, what does that matter?”
He waved his hand, unleashing a terrifying aura that erupted violently. The distinctive soul pressure of a General Rank instantly overwhelmed the entire scene.
“Zhizhi!”
Amidst howling winds, the Iron-winged Golden Eagle, now promoted to the early stage of General Rank, flapped its wings and suddenly descended from the sky.
Sorcery—Gale Spear!
Boom!
Dust and smoke exploded. When A Li reached Wu Ming’s position again, he could only see two of his companions with gaping chest wounds lying dead on the ground.
And the other two were clearly crushed beneath the Iron-winged Golden Eagle, their bodies reduced to pulp.
“A General Rank Spirit Taming Master?!”
A Li hesitated slightly, then his eyes turned red: “Villain, die for me!”
“He was just a minor Soldier Rank Spirit Taming Master before, how could he promote to General Rank so quickly!”
Xing Qing’s expression became unpredictable: “Is it because Jia Kongming’s inheritance is extremely powerful, or has he already consumed the Star Yuan Fruit, wasting such a treasure?”
“Fool, do you really think the gap between major ranks is something you can cross?”
Wu Ming wore a look of disdain.
Under his control, the Iron-winged Golden Eagle flapped its steel-blade-like wings, sweeping down like a tidal wave.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
A green whirlwind formed, swirling around the iron-hard feathers, blending with golden light.
“Kill!”
A Li’s flaming sword surged forward as he charged fiercely.
Boom!
The green whirlwind and the crimson flames instantly entangled.
Puff! Puff! Sparks of fire landed on the Iron-winged Golden Eagle’s feathers, leaving no trace, all blocked by the feathers shimmering with golden light.
The Iron-winged Golden Eagle’s feathers were already very sturdy, but now with the bloodline of the Roc, its power had increased another level, making Soldier Rank fire elements unable to penetrate.
“Not good!”
Xing Qing’s Star Gaze eyes shimmered with starlight: “General Xing, save him!”
“At once!”
One of the General Rank Spirit Taming Masters beside her bowed, a summoning glow appeared, transforming into a giant green mantis, flying at incredible speed toward A Li.
At this moment, A Li had already been slammed to the ground by Wu Ming’s Iron-winged Golden Eagle, his flames significantly dimmed.
“Awooooo!”
In the void, a wolf’s claw emerged. The Evil Wolf, engulfed in emerald soul-devouring flames, let out a resentful roar. After clashing with the mantis’s flying blade, it swiftly retreated.
“Hmm? You actually sensed it?”
Failing to achieve a fatal blow, a flicker of surprise flashed in Wu Ming’s eyes: “Indeed, a very powerful Spirit ability…”
“Young man, give up!”
General Xing’s face was stern. Seeing Wu Ming’s youthful appearance, he was astonished: “To reach the General Rank at such a young age, you must be an extraordinary genius! If you surrender Jia Kongming’s inheritance and return with us to the Wind Continent, I guarantee you will receive unimaginable honor and wealth!”
“Hmph! What I want, you cannot give!”
Wu Ming’s face turned cold: “Just like the people I want to kill, you absolutely cannot stop me!”
“What?”
General Xing was horrified. Suddenly, he noticed a dark shadow rushing toward him. Amid howling winds, the Iron-winged Golden Eagle swooped down. With the racial bonus of an outstanding breed, it was now completely comparable to an elite General Mid-Rank!
“Your flying mantis is an insect-type. How dare you challenge me? You’ve got guts!”
Wu Ming chuckled lightly.
The ability of the Observation Eye allowed him to know that this flying mantis was merely an elite breed, at the General Mid-Rank.
Seemingly evenly matched, but his Iron-winged Golden Eagle was a bird-type Spirit, naturally having an advantage over the flying mantis.
Not to mention, he had studied Jia Kongming’s Spirit Compendium, gaining deeper knowledge of various Spirits. Now commanding the Iron-winged Golden Eagle to attack fiercely, every move targeted the mantis’s vital points, causing General Xing to roar in anger helplessly.
His other Spirits were not the only ones, but they were still adjusting and not in good condition, thus unable to fight.
When he received the urgent order, he rushed here hastily, and his strength had not yet recovered to seventy percent of its original level.
“Awooooo!”
While General Xing was struggling to deal with the Iron-winged Golden Eagle, Wu Ming let out a furious roar. The Shadow Wolf suddenly sprang from the darkness, pouncing straight at him.
Buzz! Buzz!
In a gray glow, he transformed into a werewolf, surrounded by soul-consuming flames, leaping dozens of meters to reach A Li.
“Kill!”
After being severely injured by the Iron-winged Golden Eagle, this burly servant had already lost the ability to transform into fire elements, but his iron armor was still sharp. At this moment, a stream of light flashed, and an iron thorn shot out.
“I told you, the one I want to kill will never escape!”
Wu Ming’s claws vibrated, knocking aside the thorn. Amid Xing Qing’s screams, his right fist mercilessly smashed down.
Boom!
The punch was imbued with the might of the Evil Wolf, wreathed in a circle of soul-devouring flames. Upon impact, the earth trembled violently, sending a thick cloud of dust billowing into the air.
“Ahh…”
As the dust cleared, Xing Qing saw Wu Ming calmly standing up, holding an elemental sprite in his hand. Suddenly, he clenched his fist tightly, crushing the elemental sprite into fragments that exploded. Witnessing this scene, Xing Qing screamed, her eyes filled with hatred: “Kill him! Kill him for me!!!”
“You’re the one who’s going to die!”
Wu Ming roared, his speed suddenly increasing, turning into a phantom as he charged toward Xing Qing.
“Summon—Iron Tree Barrier!”
The only Spirit Taming Master remaining to guard Xing Qing immediately stepped forward, hands raised, summoning a beam of light.
Buzz! Buzz!
A dark green light descended, transforming into a massive ironwood tree giant.
It spread its arms, its huge body blotting out the sky and sun, with countless iron thorns and vine-like tendrils hanging down, forming an ironclad barrier.
“Miss, this Spirit Taming Master is no ordinary General Rank. Quickly escape… we can come back later after Master Lan arrives!”
The Spirit Taming Master quickly said, summoning a blue flying bird: “Hurry and leave!”
“Want to run?”
A cold smile appeared on Wu Ming’s lips as he approached the ironwood giant: “A mere early-stage General Rank, do you think you can stop me?”
Crackling!
Suddenly, the joints in his body cracked, releasing terrifying power.
Although Xie Lang was only a mid-stage Soldier Rank Spirit, he himself still possessed ancient martial arts techniques!
At this moment, he was only a step away from entering the path of martial cultivation, his strength comparable to a Grandmaster in the Zhou Dynasty world, matching a General Rank Spirit!
Or rather, Wu Ming’s current physical combat capability was no less than any General Rank Spirit!
“Palm Strike Across Space!” “Stone-Smashing Fist!”
Bang! Bang!
He struck the air, compressing it like cannonballs being fired.
The ironwood giant let out a deafening roar, its massive body now bearing several enormous palm imprints. Seizing the moment, Wu Ming swiftly closed the distance, clenched his fist, and delivered a devastating blow.
Puff!
The ironwood shattered, debris flying everywhere. Wu Ming fiercely broke through its center, standing in front of Xing Qing.
“He actually smashed through the ironwood giant? Impossible… Is this still just a Soldier Rank Evil Wolf?”
The Spirit Taming Master was shocked, another glow appearing around his body.
“Evil Wolf!”
Wu Ming made a gesture, and the Evil Wolf surged forward, its body radiating with Bloodthirsty Claws and Razor Claws as it launched an attack on the Spirit Taming Master.
As for himself, he leaped several meters into the air, delivering another punch mid-air, directly hitting the blue bird that had just taken flight: “Come down!”
“Jiji!”
Feathers rained down as the bird screamed in pain, and Xing Qing cried out in shock, falling down alongside it, landing in front of Wu Ming.
“You’re going to… kill me?”
Her eyes shifted, as if witnessing a horrifying scene, even shedding two bloody tears.
“Your only mistake was choosing to oppose me!”
Wu Ming sighed lightly, pointing a finger straight at Xing Qing’s forehead.
Her eyes closed, and she fell backward, instantly losing all signs of life.
