Sharing Tamed Beasts' Talents for Eternal Life

Chapter 9: Tracking

He Qingge, who had been riding for a long time after the fork, raised his eyebrows slightly. It seemed that it was really not safe to be outside.

After the fork in the road, there was a person following him at a moderate pace, maintaining a similar distance from him.

If he rode ahead, the other party would also follow. If he stopped, the other party would also stop.

He Qingge had thought that it might be someone from the Zhang family, but if it was, they would have come to capture him by now.

With the Zhang family's arrogant and domineering appearance, it was obvious that they would not follow him so cautiously.

The scariest thing was that He Qingge had a Body Lifting Talisman on his horse, which could reduce the burden on the horse and make it run faster and easier.

The person behind him had followed him for more than three hours with his horse. From this, it could be seen that the spiritual power in his body was quite abundant.

According to his breathing, heartbeat, pace, speed, and so on, He Qingge could roughly determine that he should be at the seventh level of Qi Refinement, the late stage of Qi Refinement.

The first three levels of Qi Refinement were the early stages of Qi Refinement, the middle three levels were the middle stages, and the last three levels were the late stages.

One could break through to the Foundation Establishment Realm at the ninth level of Qi Refinement. As for the tenth, 11th, and 12th levels, breaking through one more level would increase their foundation for breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm. It would also increase the success rate of breaking through to the Foundation Establishment realm.

He Qingge immediately added a Divine Strider Talisman to the horse. The Divine Strider Talisman and the Body Lifting Talisman were definitely necessary for escaping.

His speed instantly increased.

If he could shake off the follower behind him, even if it consumed a little more of his stamina, it was still worth it.

He Qingge's speed suddenly increased. The burly man behind him was also a little surprised. What was going on? Why did he suddenly increase his speed so much?

However, he did not think too much about it and quickly increased his speed to catch up.

He had fallen so far behind He Qingge that it was impossible for him to discover him.

He had taken a fancy to He Qingge when he was in Tian Xuan City. He Qingge was weak, only at the fifth level of the Qi Refinement Realm, and he did not seem to practice the skill Breath Holding.

However, he was willing to spend money to rent a horse with the bloodline of a demon beast. The Daoist robe on his body did not look like it had been worn for many years either.

Daoist robes were not luxurious items, but the frugal ones would definitely not waste extra spirit stones on Daoist robes.

Most importantly, he only had a small bag on him. This already explained many things.

He had a storage bag on him, which was not something an ordinary disciple could have.

Looking at He Qingge's appearance, he knew that he was probably someone who had come out to do a sect mission. He was not wearing the clothes of an outer sect disciple, which meant that he should be a miscellaneous disciple.

This must be the first time this man had received such a mission to leave the sect.

Having been in this business for a long time, Gao Da had long trained his eyes to judge people. He knew who he could offend and who he could not.

He knew who was rich, and who was poor.

While He Qingge was riding his horse, a man in black suddenly appeared behind the boulder in front of him, not giving him a chance to react.

The sword light in his hand waved, and a fierce sword Qi appeared like a cold light, instantly slashing toward He Qingge.

He Qingge's pupils constricted. Before this, this person was like a stone. His entire body did not have a trace of breathing or heartbeat.

It was as if he had become one with the huge stone, so He Qingge did not notice anything unusual.

He might have been able to detect abnormalities if he had used Hearing with all his might, but now that many abilities were blocked, he could only pass by.

He Qingge's reaction was also very fast. The moment the man in black revealed his head and pulled out his sword, he abandoned his horse and activated the Vajra Talisman on his body.

He had put a defensive talisman on his body when he left the Tian Xuan Sect just in case. Hence, it could be activated in time.

At the same time, he pulled out the divine weapons from the sword case on his back. These were definitely the top divine weapons in the secular martial arts world, but they were still not enough to reach the threshold of a magic weapon.

However, it was better than dealing with these people empty-handed, not to mention that he had applied poison to these weapons.

"Who are you to attack me?" He Qingge frowned and was cautious. He used Hearing to the maximum, wanting to see if there was anyone else hiding around.

After realizing that there was no one else, he heaved a sigh of relief and focused his attention on the man in black.

The man in black was also surprised. He did not expect that his sneak attack could be dodged by a kid at the fifth level of the Qi Cultivation Realm.

Although he was a little surprised, he did not say anything. Instead, he attacked even more fiercely as his entire body rapidly approached He Qingge.

He waved the sword in his hand as he got closer and closer to He Qingge. The sword in his hand was about to slash out.

He Qingge seemed to have been scared out of his wits and did not move at all.

The black-clothed man's lips curled into a smile. He had seen and killed many such people. It seemed that he would be able to earn another sum of money today.

"Impudent!"

When he was just two steps away from He Qingge, a thunderous voice rang out.

Berating!

As He Qingge activated Berating, he threw the hidden steel needle in his hand at the other party's neck.

The black-clothed man who was moving at a high speed suddenly stiffened. His eyes were a little empty, and his body continued to move forward under the effect of inertia. The sword in his hand flew out with inertia, and his entire body went limp.

The mental shock caused the black-clothed man's mind to go blank, and he could not think at all.

The black-clothed man did not even have a way to activate the Vajra Talisman on his body after Berating was unleashed.

He thought that he could save a Vajra Talisman if his opponent was just He Qingge, but he did not expect it to cost him his life.

This was the sorrow of itinerant cultivators. They could not bear to use a single talisman.

It was obvious that He Qingge had reached the superb level of Berating.

This person did not have the strength to resist at all. His entire body was like a lifeless puppet.

The steel needles in He Qingge's hands instantly pierced into the black man's neck, lips, and eyes.

At such a close distance, even if it was a cultivator who had not specialized in throwing, they would definitely be able to hit their target.

Moreover, He Qingge had been training for a month.

The black-clothed man's eyes were instantly pierced through, and blood immediately gushed out of his eyes. Then, the skin of his entire eye sockets began to turn purple and black.

The poison quickly took effect.

He Qingge used the Light Body Technique to quickly increase the distance between them. He did not rashly approach. Instead, he picked up a stone not far away from him and threw it at him.

With the support of He Qingge's cultivation, the force behind these stones was extremely great. In an instant, the black-clothed man's head exploded.

In the end, He Qingge continued to use the stones to smash the black-clothed man until his flesh was all sticky. He looked as if he could not be any more dead.

He Qingge was relieved and went to pick up the corpse in one breath.

He did not expect the first battle of his life to end like this.

"Poor bastard!"

He Qingge could not help but mutter after he finished searching the corpse.

A mid-grade level one magic sword, a bottle of pills for refining Qi, a few talismans, three Vajra Talismans, and five Divine Strider Talismans.

There were even a few martial arts manuals.

After the search was complete, He Qingge ignited the flames and burned all the traces here.

Now, he had two options.
