Chapter 3408: 雷提果(今天没了)

Wang Qingshan took a deep breath, stamped his right foot, and transformed into a streak of green light, shooting through the air. He disappeared into the horizon in a few flashes.

Hu Qing performed a hand seal, and the illusory nine-tailed fox dissipated.

"Hmph, he got off easy."

Hu Mei'er scoffed.

"Don't think I don't know you're being sarcastic. Do you really believe I don't understand how difficult it is to grow an extra tail?"

Hu Qing rolled her eyes at Hu Mei'er and said irritably.

It's not easy for members of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox tribe to grow an extra tail; it's not highly related to their cultivation realm. Most tribemates at the Integration stage only have five tails. Hu Mei'er, with six tails, is already a key cultivation target, let alone Bai Ling'er, who has seven.

Hu Mei'er gave an awkward smile and said, "Grandma, you didn't really want to kill him. Otherwise, you could have easily found a way to distract Ling'er, found an opportunity to kill him, or even used a charm spell to make him break up with Ling'er completely."

"Hmph, if he had dared to say he didn't like Ling'er just now, I would have killed him immediately. I dislike humans with deep affection and loyalty, but I hate unfeeling and disloyal humans even more. What a curse! How come our Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox tribe keeps producing such deeply emotional beings?" Hu Qing scoffed.

The grand-predecessor young patriarch of the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox tribe, who also possessed seven tails, eloped with a human female cultivator. He was killed by a powerful enemy before reaching the Mahayana stage; otherwise, the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox tribe would have had more than one Mahayana cultivator.

She looked at Bai Ling'er and said gravely, "Remember what you just told me. If you don't cultivate diligently and fail to grow an eighth tail, I will still kill him. Unless he advances to the Mahayana stage, he won't escape the Skyhawk Continent."

She didn't believe Wang Qingshan could advance to the Mahayana stage. It was not easy for the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox tribe to cultivate even one Mahayana cultivator. It would be very difficult for Wang Qingshan to acquire spiritual treasures, not to mention overcoming inner demon trials and lightning tribulations.

Bai Ling'er nodded quickly, saying, "I will definitely cultivate diligently and grow an eighth tail."

The stronger her bloodline, the less likely Hu Qing would be to kill Wang Qingshan. Only a handful of tribemates in the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox tribe possessed seven tails; some elders were even about to undergo their fifth grand heavenly tribulation.

"Let's go! Come back with me!" Hu Qing ordered. Bai Ling'er acknowledged and flew onto the white flying boat.

"Thank you very much." Bai Ling'er sent a sound transmission to Hu Mei'er.

Hu Mei'er's sarcastic remarks indirectly reminded Hu Qing that there weren't many tribemates with seven tails.

Hu Mei'er smiled without speaking. She also had selfish motives for helping Bai Ling'er; she wished Bai Ling'er and Wang Qingshan would leave. She also knew Hu Qing wouldn't kill Wang Qingshan, otherwise, she wouldn't have come to intercept them.

Hu Qing performed a hand seal, and the white flying boat transformed into a streak of white light, shooting through the air and disappearing into the horizon.

On the Mystic Tortoise Continent, the Thunder Tiger Mountain Range stretched for hundreds of millions of miles. This was the ancestral land of the Thunder Tiger tribe.

The Thunder Tiger tribe was once one of the top races on the Mystic Tortoise Continent. However, nothing lasts forever; the Mahayana cultivators of the Thunder Tiger tribe either died in grand heavenly tribulations or at the hands of powerful enemies. Then, a racial war broke out, causing them heavy losses. From then on, they never recovered and continued to decline.

Even a starving camel is bigger than a horse; the Thunder Tiger tribe had indeed declined, and most of their territory had been annexed by other forces, but they still had more than ten Integration stage cultivators.

Lei Hao was the leader of the Thunder Tiger tribe and possessed late Integration stage cultivation.

Deep within the Thunder Tiger Mountain Range, flames shot skyward. Numerous buildings were on fire, and many corpses could be seen.

A ball of silver lightning and a streak of white light collided high in the sky, emitting sounds like dragon roars and tiger growls.

Accompanied by a miserable shriek, a streak of silver light fell from high in the sky. It was clearly a broad-shouldered, stout elderly man in silver robes. His right leg was gone, his face was pale, his abdomen had several horrifying bloody holes, and his aura was weak.

The elderly man in silver robes was precisely Lei Hao. Judging by his condition, he looked as if his life was fleeting.

A flash of white light, and a vast white dragon claw appeared out of thin air, striking Lei Hao's body. Lei Hao was sent flying backward, spitting out a large mouthful of blood.

Four flying swords of various colors shot forth, heading directly for Lei Hao.

The lightning light around Lei Hao's body intensified greatly. He was about to cast a spell to resist when a man's loud roar, echoing throughout heaven and earth, resounded, causing Lei Hao's head to sink.

With a scream, the four flying swords of various colors sliced off Lei Hao's head. As soon as a mini tiger emerged from his body, it was enveloped by a white glow and swept into a white jade bottle, disappearing.

At this moment, the spiritual light high in the sky dissipated, revealing the figures of Wang Qingxiao and the Four Seasons Sword Venerable.

Wang Qingxiao was covered in dust and grime, riddled with injuries, and smelled of charring.

The Four Seasons Sword Venerable was not much better; his face was pale.

The Four Seasons Sword Venerable's grand-disciple received precise news that the Thunder Tiger tribe had obtained several Thunder Clarity Fruits. These fruits were similar in effect to Seven-Flame Golden Peaches, capable of assisting Integration stage cultivators in breaking through to the Mahayana stage. Such spiritual fruits usually grew in places with abundant lightning power.

The Four Seasons Sword Venerable directly launched a major battle, attacking the Thunder Tiger tribe.

There were many races on the Mystic Tortoise Continent, and these races had conflicts with each other, not being entirely harmonious. For races with Mahayana cultivators, the Taiyi Palace and the Thunder Tiger tribe were both minor forces, and they had no interest in intervening in such matters.

"It's finally resolved. This time, we owe much to Fellow Daoist Wang; otherwise, we truly wouldn't have been able to take them down." The Four Seasons Sword Venerable said with a smile, his eyes full of apprehension.

The Taiyi Palace and the Thunder Tiger tribe had engaged in multiple large-scale battles. The Four Seasons Sword Venerable had tried attacking the Thunder Tiger Mountain Range, but all attempts ended in failure because the Thunder Tiger tribe's protective grand formation had strong defenses.

The Thunder Tiger tribe possessed neither an eighth-tier formation nor Mahayana cultivators. Wisely, the Thunder Tiger tribe handed over the secrets of an eighth-tier formation in exchange for protection; had other races demanded it, it would have meant their extermination.

Wang Qingxiao carried a Seven-Star Spirit Control Talisman, which he used to control two Thunder Tiger tribe cultivators at the Void Refinement stage, making them lead him to infiltrate the Thunder Tiger Mountain Range to seek an audience with Lei Hao.

Once Lei Hao appeared, Wang Qingxiao and the Four Seasons Sword Venerable suddenly made their move. The two cooperated to eliminate Lei Hao.

During this time, tribesmen of the Thunder Tiger tribe attempted to provide support. Wang Qingxiao unleashed the Spirit Suppressing Roar, and, cooperating with the Four Seasons Sword Venerable, they eliminated the Integration stage cultivators who came to assist.

The human race on the Mystic Tortoise Continent was very weak; no Mahayana cultivators had ever appeared. The inheritance of various skills was scarce, especially in talismans, formations, alchemy, and artifact refining, which were exceedingly rare.

In his early years, the Four Seasons Sword Venerable obtained the inheritance of a seventh-tier alchemist from a perilous place on the Mystic Tortoise Continent. Only then did their development become easier, allowing them to cultivate so many Integration stage cultivators. However, inheritances in talismans, formations, and artifact refining couldn't keep up. There was nothing to be done, as most races on the Mystic Tortoise Continent largely focused on cultivating their physical bodies and did not rely heavily on external objects.

Pills were somewhat better, as they were useful for both healing and breakthroughs.

Before this, the Four Seasons Sword Venerable had wanted to incite defection among the Thunder Tiger tribe members, but it was simply impossible. They could only attack forcefully, but after prolonged assaults, they couldn't break through, as they did not possess formation-breaking treasures like Spirit-Breaker Shuttles.

"Fellow Daoist Li, you flatter me. Your sword mastery is also not weak. Alright, let's quickly go to the Thunder Tiger tribe's treasury. Hopefully, there are indeed Thunder Clarity Fruits there." Wang Qingxiao said with a smile.

They arrived at the Thunder Tiger tribe's treasury. The Four Seasons Sword Venerable easily broke the restrictions, and they appeared in an underground cave spanning over ten mu, where a row of shelves could be seen. On them were various materials: spiritual herbs, spiritual wood, ores, and so on.

They found a silver jade box, on which a silver talisman was affixed.

Wang Qingxiao peeled off the talisman and opened the lid. Inside were three silvery-white fruits, emitting a peculiar fragrance.
