The Ancient Godly Monarch

Chapter 39: Persistent Tracking

Fan Le's cultivation was at level 1 of the Artery Circulation Realm, while Qin Wentian was only at the 9th level of the Body Repair Realm. As long as they did not venture deeper into the Dark Forest, and were careful, it would not be easy for them to get into a dangerous situation.

Therefore, this period of time was very relaxing for Qin Wentian and Fan Le.

"Qin Wentian, you should be able to enter the Arterial Circulation Realm immediately. What Astral Soul do you want to match for your 2nd Astral Gate? ”Fan Le asked as he walked beside Qin Wentian.

Fan Le looked forward to Astral Soul Qin Wentian would choose to condense, as his first Astral Soul already had a higher layer than the 3rd Heavenly Layer. There was no doubt that his 2nd Astral Soul would have the same level as well. The power of Qin Wentian's Heavenly Hammer Astral Soul clone was something he witnessed himself.

"I'm still thinking. There were countless constellations throughout the 9 layers of Heaven. This time, I had to choose carefully. "Qin Wentian smiled. He too, anticipated the condensation of his 2nd Astral Soul.

"You're not normal." Fan Le cursed in a low voice, "Many people can only hold on for a while in the 1st Heavenly Layer, and they must hastily form an innate relationship with the constellations. But you, even at the 3rd Heavenly Layer, still want to take the time to choose. ”

"However, even though you are abnormal, you are still far away from me," Fan Le spoke with a dead expression on his face.

Qin Wentian had long been used to boast of Fan Le. The only reaction was to smile with disdain, as if he was trying to anger Fan Le.

"There's someone in the battle." The two said simultaneously, as they both ran in the same direction, running as fast as if they were flying, while behind them, a small white feather was followed by them.

Not far from Qin Wentian, Liu Yan began to despair. He did not think that he had actually met a tier 4 demonic beast here – fish pythons. In front of him, a python loomed over him, wrapping itself with his friend Zufan, before swallowing it in a single gulp. The cruel ending made him so frightened that his legs trembled in fear.

"Liu Yan, run." Liu Yue, who was not far from him, roared furiously. After all, Liu Yan was only 16 years old, and after seeing such a cruel situation, couldn't help but fall in fear, staring foolishly at the green-colored python as it approached, unable to help himself, trembling fear.

The body of the python stopped in front of Liu Yan, as he looked at her. At this moment, Liu Yan only felt despair. He did not hear a whistling sound coming from the side.

"Bad creatures." Qin Wentian, like an arrow, shot out from the bow, darting towards the area of the fish-scale python's head, unleashing the 3rd attack of his Dragon Submissive Fist, the Nine Heavens Draconic Roar, the Nine Heavens Draconic Roar, and brutally smashed his fist through the eyes of a python. The enraged python hissed and immediately crept as it tilted it bit towards Qin Wentian's body, trying to bite him.

"Penet!" Qin Wentian's immense strength caused the python's head to be thrown backwards as its tail swept towards Qin Wentian in a massive attack. Comment by Lord Bluefire: as it is in Chinese, but the snake has no tail, I duno whats a better word for the back body part of the snake

"Go." Qin Wentian shouted to Liu Yan, who was still standing there, only to see his palm holding the python's tail, losing control of its movements, as the python swung its tail.

Liu Yan had just come to a realization at this moment, when he finally turned to his body, crazily fleeing, while Qin Wentian's body brutally crashed into the trunk of a large tree, causing his entire body to tremble in pain. However, the strength of his fleshy body was currently at a very high level. The previous attack, although capable of making him feel pain, could not injure the organs within him.

The terrifying hiss, which was able to pierce through one's eardrum, echoed, as Fan Le's arrow pierced the other's eyes, before he decided to leave, not succumbing to meaningless fury, not giving in to the anger, signifies that he is capable of logic and reasoning.

"How painful." Qin Wentian did not chase after him, instead glancing at Fan Le, "Fatty, nice."

"Hehe." Fan Le smiled, as she walked. Her 2nd Astral Soul gave her the ability of 'mind and intention'. He could impose his will on the arrows, and cause them to change direction in mid-flight, as well as look at the cultivation bases of others just by looking at them. Although this type of Astral Souls would not be able to increase the user in attack or defense, it belonged to the control-type Astral Souls, which had frightening potential for growth.

Right now, Fan Le could only apply the power of his mind to the arrows, causing them to change direction at a critical moment, allowing him to capture an unconscious opponent. Once its power grew, it could even evolve into telekinesis, allowing it to control other objects with the power of its mind.

"Are you okay?" Qin Wentian walked beside Liu Yan, as he extended his hand to her.

Upon seeing that the python had crept away, Liu Yan finally heaved a sigh of relief as he slumped to the ground. His terrified expression immediately turned into a smile when he looked at the grinning young man in front of him. He received a helping hand from Qin Wentian, which allowed him to help him stand up.

"Thank you." Liu Yan softly whispered. He was on the edge of despair earlier, before Qin Wentian appeared and saved him from death.

"It's okay now, be careful in the future." Qin Wentian smiled.

"true." Liu Yan nodded and smiled, but soon after, his expression turned aching when he remembered that Zufan was dead.

Above the trees, the black-coloured crow was attracted by the commotion of the previous battle. As he flew, he screamed.

"A black crow?" Fan Le cursed, before saying in a low voice, "they are really persistent"

Qin Wentian furrowed his brows, as he instantly deduced what had happened. In his previous battle with Orfon, he had not forgotten that the young man on the Orfon's side was able to control demonic beasts.

"Liu Yan, don't reveal the fact that you know me," Qin Wentian said to Liu Yan before glancing at Fan Le. The two immediately set off, dashing deeper into the Dark Forest.

This situation caused Liu Yan to be stunned. As he was trying to chase after Qin Wentian, suddenly, the sound of wings flapping sounded as many flying beasts began to chase after the direction Qin Wentian had taken. Not only that, he could see a number of cultivators standing on top of the flying beasts.

"Brother." Liu Yan looked at Liu Yue, only to hear Liu Yue say, "That Qin Wentian would rather suffer an attack from the python to save you, which means that he has liked you. However, these pursuers on top of the flying beasts were all extremely powerful. Remember Qin Wentian's words – he's a stranger to us. "

Just as the sound of his voice faded, a cultivator riding on top of a tier 3 demonic beast warped into a turn as he revealed himself. This person was none other than Ye Zhan.

Ye Zhan was full of smiles as he jumped down from his mountain, walking towards Liu Yan and Liu Yue, "I am Ye Zhan from the Royal Academy, and all of you?"

"My name is Liu Yue, and this is my sister Liu Yan." Liu Yue replied carefully. Although Ye Zhan was polite when speaking, Liu Yue did not dare to be careless.

"That person from before was named Qin Wentian, and was one of the suitors for Emperor Star Academy. I was worried that he would not be able to let this Dark Forest live. How long have you known her? ”Ye Zhan indifferently asked.

"Not long at all." Liu Yue smiled as she replied. He did not dare to lie down in front of Ye Zhan.

"There's no need to be nervous, we're just fighting it, and have no malicious intentions towards the two of you" Ye Zhan assured. Only then did Liu Yue sigh in relief, while Liu Yan began to worry for Qin Wentian.

Qin Wentian and Fan Le were galloping, yet, how could they hope to defeat the flying beasts? The distance between prey and predator is getting shorter.

"Little fish, transform." Qin Wentian shouted, and suddenly, the snowy puppy's body flickered as its size enlarged, while Qin Wentian and Fan Le both leaped onto his back, albeit a little pinched.

"Sit tight. How many are chasing us, and what is their cultivation level? "Ask Qin Wentian.

"Three people. Orphans and youths wearing animal skins were not a problem, but the latter seemed to be somewhat problematic. The power of my mind was unable to see through its cultivation base, therefore I was worried that its cultivation level was at least at the 3rd level of the Arterial Circulation Realm, or even higher. "Fan Le's back was opposite Qin Wentian's, and the legs tightened around Little Rascal's body, as he held a bow in his hand, shooting three arrows into the air.

The speed of evasion for a flying beast was extremely fast. Other than their rapid acceleration, the arrows fired by Fan Le were unable to hit them even though he instilled the power of his will into his arrows.

“How troublesome.” Fan Le sighed with depression, “fortunately, Little Rascal's speed is quite fast – is equivalent to a flying savage beast. If not for the two of us, this snowy puppy would not have needed to use his transformation ability, and could easily avoid the pursuit of flying beasts. ”

“Keep like this is not a solution. Let's get ready to fight them. As long as we can kill the savage beast tamer, we will have more methods to control that savage beast, ” Qin Wentian said.

"Right, let's wait for the chance." The two began their discussion. Fan Le, in order to preserve his Astral Energy, stopped his arrow shot as the three of them ventured deeper and deeper within the Dark Forest.

Haku was a bit upset, he didn't think that it would waste a lot of energy just for them. Not only that, the white dog ran randomly, as if it had no clear direction of mind. Now even he himself did not know where he was, and there was a great possibility to meet a dangerous demon beast in this part of the Dark Forest.

Suddenly, the presence of sunlight could be seen. No more tree canopies, just a vast and vast area of land, and the possibility to move forward. There was also an entrance to the valley filled with fog and mist.

"Mirage City." Haku exclaimed, as his students narrowed. They had actually arrived at the border of Mirage City within the Dark Forest.

Qin Wentian and his partner also stopped their steps. Within the misty valley, there was a glittering city; some were visible one second, and disappeared the next.

"As if they were extremely afraid of this place," Fatty squinted his eyes, as he looked towards the three of their pursuers, who had stopped and slowly inched forward. It seemed like now, Qin Wentian would not be able to escape, even if he were to grow wings.

The two descended from the back of Little Rascal, as the snowy puppy returned to its original size.

Qin Wentian locked his gaze with Fan Le, and as if they intuitively understood each other's intentions, as soon as Fan Le took out his bow, he shot nine Astral Arrows into the sky, shooting out the nine Astral Arrows, aim for Makino.

"Little Rascal." Qin Wentian shouted, only to see Little Rascal jump into Qin Wentian's hands, as Qin Wentian threw Little Rascal into the sky, towards Makino who was slowly inching forward in the air.

Makino's face underwent a drastic change after she saw the nine Astral Arrows aiming at her. Suddenly, the space where he could dodge, was all covered. Makino gathered her strength, as she lunged towards the astral arrow in front of her, trying to use brute force to break free.

But in the same example, a snowy white puppy appeared in front of him, changing some larger sizes, as sharp claws swiped into his head.

Makino's expression grew unsightly, as she controlled the black hawk she rode in height. His actions caused Little Rascal's sharp claws, which were originally aimed at him, to cut off the brain of the black eagle, in turn causing it to fall from the sky. Makino too, lost his balance, and followed the black eagle down.

All this happened in an instant. The nine Astral Arrows that were fired earlier were only meant as bait to keep Makino in that position. The actual attack was the claw swipes of the Little Rascal. And by the time he stopped to break the arrow, Makino had already fallen into a trap …

At the border of the misty valley, Fatty snatched the arrow and aimed at Makino, who fell in midair, grinning.
