Rebuilding the Immortal Cultivator Clan

Chapter 1307: Chapter 1122: Accident_2

Roar!

The devil beast showed no fear, transforming into thunder, roaring as it charged at Li Yunran.

The clash of thunder and fire instantly erupted with powerful shockwaves, shattering and toppling the nearby flora.

Li Yunran and the devil beast were both shaken back a few steps, but the former remained in good condition, while a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of the beast’s mouth.

Even though Li Yunran had the upper hand, he was quite surprised internally. He was using the ”Earth Spirit Tao Record” for cultivation, and despite being only at the early Integration stage, with the support of Cave Heaven, he could fight for a good while even against those in the late Integration stage.

It was at this moment that he noticed what kind of beast it was, as well as its cultivation level.

A sleek, about thirty feet long black leopard, with a singular horn on its forehead faintly glimmering with Thunder Light, its whole body covered in pitch-black fur through which electric patterns could be vaguely seen, with a cultivation level at the mid-Seventh Rank, surpassing Li Yunran.

”Thunderbolt Devouring Electric Leopard?”

While the Li family obtained the ”Earth Spirit Tao Record” and many clan members cultivated this more promising technique, it didn’t mean they gave up the ”Wanling Sutra.”

On the contrary, the Li family was still viewed by others as a Beast-Taming Family, so recognizing various devil beasts was a strict requirement for all clan members, with no room for negligence.

This was done so clan members could quickly find the weak points of devil beasts attacking them during their training outside, to defeat them.

The second reason was to identify rare and uncommon devil beasts when encountered, and then find ways to capture and bring them back to the family to bolster the Spirit Beast population.

”Wasn’t it said that the Thunderbolt Devouring Electric Leopard was extinct? How can one appear in the Changli Mountain Range, and with a mid-Seventh Rank cultivation at that?”

”When did the Changli Mountain Range have Seventh Rank devil beasts!?”

Li Yunran frowned, understanding why Li Yunji’s injuries were so serious.

He wanted to capture the electric leopard alive and bring it back to the family, but after the clash, he realized it was impossible to do so.

While he could injure and repel it, and even kill it if willing to pay the price, capturing it alive was too difficult.

The electric leopard vigilantly eyed Li Yunran, then instantly turned into a black streak of lightning charging at him.

But just as he was about to block the attack, it sidestepped, becoming a black thunderbolt, disappearing from sight.

Watching the direction the electric leopard fled, Li Yunran returned to where Li Yunji was hiding, quickly leaving with his badly wounded form.

He not only had to save Li Yunji but also report the appearance of a Seventh Rank devil beast in the Changli Mountain Range to the family, advising them to be cautious.

But by the time Li Yunran returned with the news to the Immortal City outside the mountain range, an incident had already occurred!

The Li family, caught completely off guard and unaware of the presence of a Seventh Rank devil beast in the Changli Mountain Range, suffered significant casualties.

Due to previous purges, the Li family assumed there were only Sixth Rank devil beasts in the mountain range.

And for someone like Li Yunji, gravely injured and near death, he was actually considered extremely lucky—many more clan members encountered the Seventh Rank devil beasts and were unable to escape, perishing at their hands.

This time, Li Yunran’s timely arrival was because Li Yunji, upon encountering the Thunderbolt Devouring Electric Leopard, immediately activated a Communication Talisman and used every means possible to delay until his arrival, hoping to survive.

The emergence of numerous Seventh Rank devil beasts in the Changli Mountain Range immediately alerted the entire family.

Clan members who were originally heading to the East Sea to slay Water Devils to disperse Catastrophic Qi abruptly changed their destination.

After all, the territory at sea was already lost, the Changli Mountain Range couldn’t be lost again!

Otherwise, even if the Li family managed to regain some luck through Divine Enthronement, controlling the mountains and rivers of Shanhai State, they would fall again after losing territory.

Jiang Fengwu, who had initially resolved her Catastrophic Qi at the start of the calamity, also stepped out of her quiet chamber this time.

She was currently the clan member with the highest Mortal Realm cultivation! Faced with such a situation, she couldn’t avoid it.

Moreover, Jiang Fengwu didn’t intend to evade it, wanting to test her strength and see how much she had improved with her cultivation during this time.

And to prevent any unforeseen events, Li Zhixuan also came to the outskirts of the Changli Mountain Range, considering that the appearance of the Seventh Rank devil beast this time seemed too sudden, and there might be an unseen manipulator behind it.

The Li family’s purging operations had been organized many times, so they quickly set up various teams, each consisting of an Integration stage member, several Void Refinement, numerous Divine Transformation, Nascent Soul members, making up around a hundred people.

Such a lineup, encountering a solitary Seventh Rank devil beast, had not only the power to fight but possibly also capture it alive.

That morning, over ten teams set out together, stepping into the now lush mountain forest.

Like a large net intending to expel, defeat, or capture all the Seventh Rank devil beasts in the mountains.

The team led by Jiang Fengwu had just entered the forest when she sensed a feeling of being watched, making her instantly vigilant, fearing a snake might suddenly strike from the darkness, catching her off guard.

’There seem to be more than one Seventh Rank devil beast!’

A hint of dark light flashed in Jiang Fengwu’s eyes, surprisingly lucky to encounter multiple Seventh Rank devil beasts at once.

She planned to leave all these devil beasts behind!

Having come this far, leaving easily was impossible; this also aimed to prove her strength.

Secretly discussing with her accompanying clan members, requesting them to protect themselves, as Jiang Fengwu might not be able to attend to others shortly.

”Show yourselves!”

A glow of Spirit Light appeared at Jiang Fengwu’s fingertips, which she hurled not far ahead.

A Seventh Rank devil beast, having its disguise uncovered, burst out without hesitation, not only smashing her probing attack but also charged at her.

Its claws gleamed with a cold light, appearing extremely sharp, seeming as if they could tear through space.

”Such boldness!”

Jiang Fengwu deliberately slowed a beat, barely deflecting the attack.

The devil beast’s subsequent attacks followed rapidly, and even more so, two other hidden Seventh Rank devil beasts charged out upon seeing this, surrounding her — it seemed she was in a perilous situation.

”I’ve been waiting for you to show yourselves!”

The next instant, Jiang Fengwu formed a hand seal, and within a breath, a Great Array formed immediately, trapping the three devil beasts.

Her Void Array not only deployed faster now but also became even stronger, wielding six to seven-tenths the power of a real Formation.

”Not good! It’s a trap!”

”Quick, escape, or we’ll all be detained here!”

The three devil beasts were in shock, immediately altering their attack direction, striking at a certain point on the formation, trying to break it and escape.

Though they hailed from the Devil Race, they were acutely aware of a Great Array’s power, especially this type of Confinement Array—if unable to escape promptly, once the Formation fully activated, leaving would require a higher cost.

The Formation trembled violently, its Spirit Light dimming considerably, making the three devil beasts slightly joyous, thinking they could escape with another strike.

But precisely at this moment, within those brief breaths, they missed the best chance to escape!

Because Jiang Fengwu’s Formation was now ready!

The Heavenly Thunder Demon Execution Great Array, an exceptionally fierce, terrifying Seventh Rank Formation.

”It’s over!”

”How can this be!”

As the three devil beasts shattered the first layer of the Formation, they barely celebrated when they saw the second layer of Spirit Light, alongside relentless barrages of thunder.

The beasts hastily defended themselves, yet the thunder’s intensity surprised them, and out of carelessness, they sustained numerous wounds.

”Surrender, and I’ll spare your lives! Otherwise, be prepared for demise!” Jiang Fengwu’s cold voice echoed within the Formation.

Upon hearing this, each of the three devil beasts had their own thoughts.

But before losing all hope of escape, they refused to concede easily.

”Stubbornness!”

After waiting a few breaths and seeing no response from the devil beasts, Jiang Fengwu ceased hesitating and fully activated the Formation’s power.

The originally two-finger-sized thunder grew several folds, striking terror and fear in those who beheld it.
