Eternal Cultivation Of Alchemy

”Now!” the leader shouted. 

Aside from the leader and the woman with the saber, everyone else threw their nets at Pearl.

Pearl understood what was happening and immediately jumped backward such that not a single net landed on him.

The Azure Silverbeak tried to stand up and leave when Pearl let go of it, but it was instead caught in the nets the Pearl dodged.

”He’s quick,” one of the men said, readying his sword. But then, he dropped it a little. 

He couldn’t harm a product. What was he thinking?

Now, he was confused. He could sense the kitten’s aura, and it told him that it was just as strong as he was, maybe even stronger. 

This was going to be a tough battle. They might even have to use a few more resources than normal. The cat was worth it.

Suddenly, an arrow flew through the air, hurling behind it a wave of green energy.

Pearl moved to the side and let it fly past him, but when the arrow struck the ground, it exploded in a gust of air that pushed him towards the woman with the saber.

The woman had kept her net, while the other three had thrown it, so when she saw Pearl helpless mid-air, she threw it to capture him.

However, Pearl suddenly moved to the right, dodging the net once again.

”It can fly?” the girl shouted in surprise. Mind Tempering beasts that flew weren’t rare, but they weren’t readily available either.

Also, the girl had only seen older beasts that were able to fly. Not this cute little kitten that looked like it was born yesterday.

One of the men with the sword ran forward with his sword and slashed at Pearl.

Pearl also swung his paw at the same time, hitting the sword as it dropped.

The other’s heart skipped a beat when they saw that, but when they then saw the kitten not only block the sword but actually push it back without any injury, they were shocked.

”You could’ve hurt it!” the girl with the bow screamed at the man who just attacked.

In response, the man simply looked back at her and said, “it’s nearly a True realm beast. It’s not a clay vase that will break into a million pieces if you hit it. Stop letting the cuteness distract you from its strength.”

The three of the others aside from the leader finally woke up from their image of the cat they had put in their mind.

This wasn’t a house cat. It was a beast, and they couldn’t be too careful with a beast.

”Also, be careful. It’s really strong,” the man said. The rebound he felt from the attack just now was abnormal for him.

Pearl was angry this time and he got on the offensive. He jumped towards the people, but the girl with the bow shot her arrow once again.

Pearl knew not to dodge it this time, so he sought to destroy it. However, right before it touched him, roots sprouted from the arrow that wrapped around Pearl.

At the same time, the other men and woman jumped at Pearl, hacking at him with their sword and saber. 

They didn’t put as much strength as they could muster, just enough to hurt him a bit.

Suddenly, Pearl’s body turned golden as the weapons landed on him. It was a direct hit, yet Pearl didn’t feel anything. 

The White Tiger’s Golden body was a very strong defensive technique that normal people wouldn’t be able to break past within the same realm as Pearl.

Pearl then swiped at the roots around him, destroying them. He then turned towards the man on the right and swung at him.

The man put the flat side of his sword in front of him to stop the attack, but he underestimated Pearl’s strength.

He felt the pressure of the attack at his body was lurched backward and was sent flying through the air until it hit a tree in the back.

The man fell to the ground and coughed up blood. He had been badly hit.

The remaining men and women looked in shock. Pearl was too strong.

”Brother Yun, are you ready or not?” the remaining man asked.

”I need just 1 more minute,” he said.

Pearl was about to turn around to attack the woman to his right, but just then, another arrow came flying his way. 

This time, he neither hit it nor dodged it. Instead, he took one step back, took a deep breath, and roared.

A deafening sound was released from Pearl that didn’t seem like it belonged to him.

Before the arrow could come anywhere close, it was sent flying back, all the energy in it disappearing as it did so.

At the same time, Pearl ran towards her. He realized that he needed to take out this archer before he concentrated on the other enemies.

Golden light glowed in a flickering pattern as he started running forward.

The girl readied an arrow once again to target Pearl, but suddenly something interesting happened.

The Pearl that was running towards her suddenly flickered once more and 1 Pearl… turned into 2.

The girl was surprised when she saw the 2 Pearls coming towards her at the same time. 

She looked at the two Pearls and didn’t understand which one was real. She hesitated for a bit and chose the one on the right.

She chose wrong.

The one the arrow hit flickered into a bunch of golden light and disappeared. 

The Pearl on the left jumped on her and threw a paw attack at her.

”AAH!” the girl screamed and brought out a talisman to protect herself. 

The reddish-yellow talisman burned up and an illusory barrier of the same bronze-like color appeared in front of her.

Pearl’s attack shattered the barrier in a thousand pieces, but it still managed to kill a lot of his power and when his paw hit her, it wasn’t strong enough to hurt her a lot. 

Just enough to send her flying backward and tumble multiple times on the ground. 

The girl felt scared. If she hadn’t produced that talisman, she would’ve likely been fatally hurt there.

Pearl saw her slowly stand up and was about to go for her when he noticed the girl with the saber attack him from behind.

Pearl jumped to the side to dodge her, but the girl expected that and suddenly blasted a massive fire attack at him.

Her eyes went wide when she saw Pearl not dodge that attack. She was worried that Pearl was hurt, but then Pearl flew through the fire, directly at her.

Not a single hair on his body was hurt.

The swordsman appeared out of nowhere, slashing towards Pearl.

As if there were a footing below Pearl, he suddenly changed direction upwards to dodged the incoming attack, then again pushed the air above him to jump downwards and swung his paw towards the newly arrived man.

The man was caught off guard and would die if he did not move. However, he couldn’t change his position at the moment, and the girl couldn’t help him either.

Suddenly, an ax came flying through the air that slammed into Pearl who was sent flying back towards the tree. 

Pearl flipped midair and landed on the side of the tree with all 4 legs before looking straight towards the leader of the group.

He had finally entered the battle.

The leader put his hands forward, and the ax came flying back to his hands.

”Leave it to me. You are not its match,” the leader said.

The 2 of them nodded and went to get the other man that was hurt beneath the tree.

The leader watched as his juniors got away to the side and then finally stared at Pearl.

”Do you understand my words, beast?” he asked in a solemn voice.

”Meow!” Pearl meowed, but the leader got no information from it at all.

”We don’t plan on hurting you. Just come with us quietly,” the leader said.

”MEOW!” Pearl meowed loudly as he dig the ground slightly with his paws as if he was getting ready to attack.

The leader saw that and frowned. He really didn’t want to hurt the cat since that would cost him more to heal it later. 

However, with how strong the cat was currently, he couldn’t catch it without hurting it a bit.

So, he put up his ax and got ready to fight.
