I Tame Beasts by Feeding

’Found him.’

Wang Qizheng’s eyes lit up. He immediately summoned a Silver Saber in front of the beast pack. Tapping his toes on a tree trunk, he soared into the air with the Light Body Skill and flung the Silver Saber from his palm.

Yu Changsheng sensed the danger. His Divine Sense spread out and locked onto Wang Qizheng’s Silver Saber. His brow furrowed as he erected multiple layers of pressure to block it.

But the Silver Saber’s speed didn’t decrease by much.

After all, this saber was a Low-Grade Magical Artifact that Wang Qizheng had been refining for many years, not a Magical Artifact like the Dragon’s Roar Sword that had yet to be fully refined.

"Wood Shield Skill!"

Yu Changsheng shouted, raising a Shield in front of his chest.

The next second, the Silver Saber struck the Shield. The immense force shattered the Wooden Shield and knocked him off the Iron Carving King’s back, sending him tumbling into the pack of beasts.

"SCREEE!"

The Iron Carving King shrieked in alarm. As it tried to turn back to help, Wang Qizheng suddenly tossed out an Elixir.

Yu Changsheng’s pupils dilated. He stared at the Elixir, his face paling in horror.

"A Scattered Demon Essence Pill!"

"Iron Carving King, hold your breath!"

As Yu Changsheng gave the command, Wang Qizheng used his Divine Sense to detonate the Scattered Demon Essence Pill.

A cloud of mist exploded outward. The Medicinal Force, capable of dispersing a Demon Beast’s power, spread out, and both the Iron Carving King and the Demon Beasts behind it inhaled it instantly.

"WHIMPER! GURGLE!"

The Iron Carving King immediately felt its Demon Power fall into disarray. Its soaring body began to descend from mid-air, its once-sturdy wings turning limp and weak.

"Junior Yu!"

Zhuang Yan’s expression changed. He formed a hand seal and cast the Sword Control Skill. His Magic Sword circled around him, repelling a few pouncing Demon Beasts, before stabbing fiercely toward Wang Qizheng.

However, a smile touched the corners of Wang Qizheng’s lips. A dagger suddenly appeared in his hand, and his figure vanished from Zhuang Yan’s attack path like an illusion.

"Shadow Flash!"

"Overlord Saber!"

When he reappeared, he was already in front of Zhuang Yan. The dagger in his hand glowed with red light, and as he slashed, it was like a roaring tiger, a frenzied demon pouncing for the kill.

Seeing this, Zhuang Yan dodged backward while his Magic Sword thrust rapidly at his opponent. He pushed his palm forward, forming a Shield of sword wind.

But in Wang Qizheng’s eyes, this defensive measure was nothing more than a petty trick. The dagger sliced straight through the sword wind, grazing past Zhuang Yan’s Magic Sword and shoulder.

"PFFT!"

Despite Zhuang Yan’s desperate defense, a gash deep enough to reveal bone appeared on his shoulder. He was nearly knocked away like Yu Changsheng had been, but thankfully, the Iron Carving King planted a foot on a tree, steadying him.

But the crisis was not over; in fact, it had become even more dangerous.

Because of that slash, Zhuang Yan couldn’t lift his arm. He could only use Sword Control to attack via his internal Magical Power.

The Iron Carving King’s Demon Power was scattered, and it was panting heavily. Its claws and wings had lost most of their strength, making it completely unable to block Wang Qizheng’s attacks.

Wang Qizheng’s eyes narrowed, his gaze a mix of thirty percent mockery and seventy percent killing intent. After twirling the dagger in his hand, he stabbed viciously at the Iron Carving King.

"You’re using an Elixir I refined against me?"

At that moment, Yu Changsheng, who had fallen into the beast pack, lifted his head. A savage light bloomed in his eyes as he roared in fury.

"Red Snake King!"

"BOOM!"

With its massive body, the Red Snake King opened its cavernous mouth and roared. Its tail swept out like a whip, knocking away several approaching Tier One Demon Beasts.

"Poison Mist!"

The Red Snake King spewed a cloud of Flame and poison mist. Any Demon Beast that got too close was harmed, howling madly and falling into chaos.

Seizing the opportunity, the Red Snake King carried Yu Changsheng out of the beast pack, bared its fangs, and lunged at Wang Qizheng.

"A second tamed beast!" Wang Qizheng was aghast. He instantly retracted the dagger that was stabbing toward the Iron Carving King and simultaneously controlled his Silver Saber to slash at the Red Snake King.

With his sharp eye, he could tell the Iron Carving King had already been affected by the Scattered Demon Essence Pill’s poison. Even if he didn’t attack it, it had already lost its ability to fight.

What was more important was the Red Snake King lunging right at him!

’Damn it, how does this guy have a Tier One Seventh Layer Red Snake King!’ Wang Qizheng’s expression turned ugly. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

The combat prowess of a Tier One Seventh Layer Red Snake King was completely different from an ordinary Red Snake. More importantly, this one seemed to be a variant that could spew poison mist!

He didn’t dare underestimate his opponent’s attack. He brandished his Silver Saber, unleashing three arcs of saber light, then once again used Shadow Flash to disappear from Yu Changsheng’s sight.

"BANG! BANG! BANG!"

Just as the Red Snake King shattered the saber light and lost track of its target, about to turn its head to search, Yu Changsheng’s Divine Sense had already captured Wang Qizheng’s trail.

"Above you!" Yu Changsheng yelled, raising a hand to cast a Fireball Skill.

Having just emerged from his Escape Technique, Wang Qizheng’s expression changed. He spun around to dodge the frighteningly large fireball, abandoning any thought of continuing his attack. With a few swift leaps, he jumped onto a distant tree.

"Come back, Iron Carving King!"

Yu Changsheng took this chance to rescue Zhuang Yan and recall the weakened Iron Carving King into his Inner Realm, his gaze fixed firmly on Wang Qizheng.

’He cultivates an Overlord Blade Peak Cultivation Technique, but he fights like an assassin, seeking a single, decisive blow. And he has a decent Escape Technique. His strength makes him much harder to deal with than other servant disciples.’

"Which Outer Peak are you a servant disciple from? The Beast Tide is coming up behind us. Why don’t we call it quits here?" Yu Changsheng asked.

Although he hadn’t used his full strength yet, his opponent was clearly no easy mark. He was cautious, troublesome, and dangerous. It would be best if they could just go their separate ways.

’Once I get out of here, there will be plenty of opportunities to get my revenge later.’

A glint flickered in Yu Changsheng’s eyes.

However, Wang Qizheng just chuckled, toying with the dagger in his hand. He said in a low voice, "If this were before, I wouldn’t have attacked after seeing your Red Snake King. I might have even given up on this job."

"But since we’re enemies now, I must cut the weeds and pull out the roots. That’s my creed. So you might as well just die."

"I’ll be watching you. Hehehe."

Wang Qizheng glanced at the encroaching Beast Tide and let out a cold laugh.

If he still had a Scattered Demon Essence Pill on hand, he would have risked attacking again. Unfortunately, he had already used both of them.

His figure flickered and vanished. Just as he thought he could hide in the shadows for another sneak attack, he suddenly felt as if he were being watched and moved his position again.

"BANG!"

The next moment, Yu Changsheng, standing on the Red Snake King, pointed a smoking finger that was once again glowing red. He aimed at a specific spot and shot a fireball.

The fireball’s power was greatly reduced under Yu Changsheng’s control.

But Yu Changsheng’s ability to instantly discern Wang Qizheng’s hiding spot was somewhat frightening to him.

’Just how strong is this guy’s Divine Sense?!’

Wang Qizheng’s expression was grim. He continued to increase the distance between them, and the fireballs finally stopped coming after he was about a hundred meters away.

This distance was near the maximum range of a Qi Refining Peak cultivator’s Divine Sense.

Yu Changsheng could still see Wang Qizheng, but he didn’t attack again.

Both sides had expended a great deal of energy, and he needed to recover. Besides, at a distance of one hundred meters, he would have enough time to react even if he were ambushed.

’This spot will do for now. The most urgent task is to deal with the Beast Tide.’

Yu Changsheng looked back, a headache coming on.

’There are too many of them.’
