Chapter 257: Battle of the Cat-Folk

Changlian and the blood-sucking mosquito demon's meticulously crafted plans came to naught. 。It seems that Lu Xia Tian's magical power is also mighty and powerful, far from being exhausted. 。“What s...(This is the third update, 8,000 words.

“Roar!” The two Qicat saw over twenty human cultivators slowly approaching from two directions. They let out a roar that sounded like the king of beasts, a tiger. Their bodies stood up like bows, as if they were full of energy and ready to attack at any moment. Although these two monsters were only half the size of an average adult wild cat, their physical stature wasn't particularly imposing. However, in the cultivation world, a monster’s strength was not solely determined by its size. No one dared to underestimate these two seemingly weak Qicat.

"One squad on each, now listen to my command, attack!"

At Su Qing's order, over twenty cultivators from both sides unleashed their weapons, a flurry of swords, spears, and halberds charging towards the two Qicat creatures.

Lu Xiaoteng didn't rush forward. He held a large shield in one hand and a green whip in the other. These two magical weapons were obtained from the lair of the Black Wind Demon Python. The quality was very good, especially this large shield. It was forged with a mixture of gold and earth-based materials, possessing both the heaviness of earth-based defense and the sharpness of gold-based attacks.

The other, a green whip, was similar to his binding rope and wasn't particularly outstanding. He had many better magic weapons at his disposal, but he was currently pretending to be a cultivator with low attack and high defense. Unless absolutely necessary, he didn't intend to use too much strength in this melee. It would be best to observe the weaknesses of these two qù cats up close before making a move.

When everyone was attacking, Lu Xia Tian also acted as if he was lashing out at a cat with his whip.

Every qicat had to face attacks from over ten weapons. These weapons had almost completely sealed off any possible escape routes for the qicats. Many people's hearts were filled with excitement, and their attention had mostly shifted to the Jincon Fruit. After all, in their understanding, more than ten cultivators at the middle and later stages of foundation building teaming up for a simultaneous strike, especially with Luo Qian and Su Qing both taking out their Dan Yuan artifacts, ready to strike at any moment, was a force unlike anything else. Even if these two qicats didn't die, they should have been seriously injured.

As long as Qiu Mao gets injured, there's a chance to get the Golden Fruit. We can take advantage of the chaos to retreat. As for what we agreed on before – eliminating two demonic beasts first – it was just to fool the fools. If those two demonic beasts were seriously injured, no one would actually care about what we said before. If someone really wants to stubbornly kill the demonic beasts first, they'd probably only get some leaves from the Golden Fruit tree in the end. What good are those

In the eyes of many, the golden fruit is already in sight. After all, few have truly witnessed the power of the Qichao cat, and most who have seen it have become fertilizer for the blue-gray demon vines. Hope is beautiful, the process is tortuous, and the result is cruel. Just as more than a dozen magic weapons were besieging the Qichao cat, its shadow suddenly flashed, transforming into a golden light. Even Lu Xiaottian felt that it was difficult to see with his naked eyes. He used his spirit-eye technique to barely see the blurred figures of two Qichao cats. One of them, agile and powerful, charged forward several feet. Facing two swords and one sword, it showed no fear at all. It directly bumped its head against one of the silver swords. The silver sword looked extremely sharp, but when it slashed on the Qichao cat's smooth, golden-mirror-like head, it seemed to be ineffective, slipping across its surface as if lacking power, instantly reducing its lethality. The Qichao cat bumped its head against the silver sword, causing it to break apart. The Qichao cat's body twisted strangely in the gap between the remaining sword and spear, becoming as soft as boneless. It then squeezed out of the gap. Then, with a tiger roar, it charged at the cultivators who had attacked it. As for behind it, the magic weapons on its sides naturally missed their target. Although powerful, they were useless if they couldn't hit anything.

As for the way Qiu Mao had adapted, Lu Xia Tian had expected it. He tightened his grip on the large shield and simultaneously drew back his whip swiftly.

What a powerful demon!

Even the formidable Su Qing and Luo Qian couldn't help but be astonished by what they saw. Just now, the two of them had chosen to wait and see, planning to assess the strength of the two demon beasts before making a decision. After all, their small team had a larger number, even if the two of them remained inactive, there were still ten people attacking. Ten people, even if they weren't trying their best, the sheer number could inflict considerable damage. As for the two of them, although they possessed Dan Yuan artifacts, facing such a simultaneous siege from so many people, they had to be cautious and respond carefully. The slightest misstep could lead to their demise, but they never expected that the demon beasts before them would so easily defuse what seemed like a formidable crisis.

To their surprise, the two of them moved swiftly. It seemed that their decision to observe for a while earlier was the most correct one. They still had a chance to make up for it. With a flash, Luo Qian's thunder spear struck first. The electric arcs on it were even fiercer than usual. Since ordinary magic weapons couldn't harm these two monsters, he increased the amount of mana injected into it. He didn't believe that these monsters in front of him could even resist the power of lightning.

With a crack, the fish-scale whip seemed to tear through the void itself, hurtling towards the four limbs of the Qu cat with astonishing speed. Su Qing's plan was quite good. Since these two Qu cats had formidable defenses and ordinary blows couldn't do much damage, and their speed was incredibly fast, making it impossible for most cultivators to keep up. She would first bind the monster's limbs, and then see how they could escape. Although the two of them couldn't match the Qu cats in speed, the attack speed of the magic weapons in their hands was slightly faster than theirs; otherwise, there wouldn't be a fight at all.

Faced with Luo Qian and Su Qing's combined attack, the current Cat glared angrily, clearly not expecting these two to be so much faster and more powerful than everyone else. His previous rush forward, aimed at everyone, had left him somewhat unable to dodge.

The tip of the thunderbolt spear grazed Qu Mao's belly, but it slid away harmlessly. It seemed that Qu Mao’s surface, gleaming like polished gold, was completely impervious to force. Even a powerful artifact like this thunderbolt spear couldn't penetrate it. Lu Xia Tian himself was astonished by this. Even he, a peak sixth-ranked body cultivator, wouldn't dare directly take Luo Qian's thunderbolt spear head-on. He could only dissipate part of its power before his body could withstand it. But Qu Mao not only blocked it, but his smooth neck remained unmarked. It was truly unbelievable.

Everyone who had previously witnessed the prowess of the Qicat was astonished, let alone others. Su Qing’s rosy lips were agape in disbelief, unable to close for a long time. The speed at which she drew her whip naturally slowed by a fraction. Luo Qian was even more disheartened. Though this shot wasn't his strongest, it still consumed a considerable amount of mana. The fact that he couldn't even scratch the opponent's fur was a significant blow to him.d down before they get here.” Lu Xia Tian said coldly.Let me know if you'd like to translate something else!“Judging by your appearance, you’re still at the True Immortal First Realm.
