Chapter 59: It Can’t Be, He’s About to Reach the Nascent Soul Stage so Soon?

The black crystal wolf opened its stinking mouth and gnashed at Lin An. Under the protection of the morality demon sealing technique, Lin An activated the Eastern Emperor Bell to protect himself.
He then stretched out his hands, which were covered in golden light, and used all his strength to press against the black crystal wolf’s upper and lower jaws. Its sharp teeth couldn’t penetrate his defense.
While Lin An was controlling the black crystal wolf’s movements, Lan Qi ran to the beast’s side and used the Hurricane Sword technique to strike its neck.
[The probability of Lan Qi using the Hurricane Sword technique to trigger five times the damage is 100%!]
A success rate notification appeared in front of Lin An, and he immediately knew that Lan Qi’s strike was about to succeed.
Sure enough, in the next second, a spurt of fresh blood sprayed all over Lin An’s face, making him unable to open his eyes.
However, he felt that the pressure from the black crystal wolf had suddenly lessened. When Lin An let go of its jaws, the black crystal wolf collapsed to the ground.
He used his shirt to wipe off the bloodstains on his face before turning his attention to the beast. There was a ferocious wound on its neck, and its life was rapidly draining away.
Lan Qi’s sword had actually only severely injured the black crystal wolf. Lin An’s face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly pulled out the Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword and chopped off the wolf’s head.
The energy fluctuations of the Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword became stronger, and Lin An noticed that it had already reached the twelfth level of Qi refinement.
After picking off the crystal from the beast’s severed head, Lin An used the black flame to incinerate its corpse.
The black and white ashen flame’s power was intense, and it seemed as if Lin An had the strength of a late-stage golden core disciple.
“I’ll let you guys keep this crystal. When you sell it, just give me three thousand spirit stones.”
Lin An wasn’t very interested in spirit stones, so he gave the crystal to Lan Qi for safekeeping. Not only would the gesture help enhance his cooperation with Junior Brother Zhou and Lan Qi, but it would also save Lin An a lot of time.
He wouldn’t have to do the chores of finding a buyer in order to sell the crystal.
On her part, Lan Qi was thrilled to receive the crystal. She had been worried that Lin An would keep the fruits of victory for himself.
However, not only had Lin An failed to claim the crystal, but he had entrusted it to her for safekeeping.
“Then let’s continue moving forward!”
After Lan Qi put the crystal into her storage ring, she happily took the lead to explore.
Whoosh!
However, after Lan Qi took a step forward, a wooden arrow suddenly flew towards her.
It was just an ordinary wooden arrow, so Lan Qi easily grasped it in her hand before it could pierce her flesh.
As she examined the strange arrow, a little girl dressed as a caveman walked out from the bushes at the side.
Her clothes were made entirely out of leaves and bark, and she had a cautious and curious expression on her face.
Surprisingly, the little girl spoke in the common language that Lin An understood, and not a barbarian language as he had expected. This made him a little curious about her background.
“Who are you? Where are you from?”
The little girl’s childish voice had a hint of maturity as she said casually, “I’m from the Ghana Empire in the Cangyun Continent.”
“Why are you alone in such a place? It’s very dangerous. Where are your companions?”
Lin An replied by asking a series of questions. He couldn’t believe that she was from the Cangyun Continent.
“My companions are in the camp. I’m already a qualified hunter. Naturally, I can be alone in this place.”
The little girl’s reply surprised Lin An.
“Camp? Do you live in this forest? Where is your camp? How many people are there?”
The little girl was overwhelmed by Lin An’s questions. In the end, she got angry and simply ignored him. Suddenly, she turned around and went back into the bushes.
Lin An wanted to go forward and drag her out and continue questioning her, but Lan Qi stopped him and mouthed softly, “We just need to follow her. She will definitely return to the camp.”
Lan Qi pulled Junior Brother Zhou forward and motioned for him to quickly cast a spell.
Junior Brother Zhou quickly understood and plucked a green leaf from a tree at the side. After infusing his mana onto the leaf, it transformed into an emerald-green butterfly and quietly followed the little girl.
Not only had Junior Brother Zhou used the butterfly to track the little girl, but he had also cast a discerning spell to sense if there were any dangerous creatures wandering around.
After a few seconds, his expression abruptly changed. “There’s a powerful magical beast wandering three thousand meters ahead. If that little girl runs into it, she’ll be in trouble.”
“You guys follow her. I’ll take care of the magical beast.”
Lin An instantly took a detour and ran ahead.
In order to hide his movement from the little girl, he stealthy tiptoed along the bushes. Since the little girl was walking at a slow pace, Lin An felt that he would have enough time to kill the beast.
When he got closer to the target, Lin An gradually slowed down. He hoped that he could sneak up on the beast and gain the upper hand.
However, as Lin An passed by a short tree, a dangerous feeling overwhelmed his heart.
“Eastern Emperor Bell, activate!”
Lin An hurriedly took out the defensive treasure to protect himself. In an instant, a malevolent big mouth pierced through the cover of the tree leaves and bit towards Lin An.
“Morality demon sealing technique!”
Before the malevolent big mouth could bite onto Lin An’s body, he circulated the morality demon sealing technique with all his strength to increase his defense, and with the protection of the Eastern Emperor Bell, he avoided being bitten in half.
However, the sharp teeth of the demonic beast still bit Lin An’s arm, leaving him with a few bloody holes on his biceps.
Fortunately, the demonic beast’s body had been exposed from the cover of the dense forest.
It was a tall fiendish beast that looked like a velociraptor. Its strength was equivalent to that of a mid-stage golden core cultivator, and if it had not ambushed Lin An, it would not have been able to hurt him at all.
Lin An felt that he had made a fool of himself. He thought that if he had lured the demon out earlier, it wouldn’t have been so troublesome.
“Black and white ashen flames!”
The black and white flames simultaneously surged out from Lin An’s body. The black flames burned the lower half of the demonic beast’s body, while the white flames froze the upper half of its torso.
The demonic beast’s body was destroyed, and Lin An finally escaped from its ferocious mouth. As soon as he landed on the ground, he steadied himself and pulled out the Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword from his waist.
With one swift movement, Lin An stabbed the sword into the heart of the demonic beast.
“Roar!”
The demonic beast fell to the ground with a painful roar and gradually lost its breath.
During its intense struggle, the beast had destroyed the surrounding dense vegetation, and it had also cut down several bowl-sized trees with just a sweep of its tail.
As the black flames incinerated the demonic beast’s body, Lin An felt that the power of the black and white ashen flames was very close to breaking through the golden core stage and reaching the nascent soul stage.
Because the Nine Nether Weeping Blood Sword had obtained new blood power by killing the demonic beast, it broke through to the 13th level of the Qi refinement stage.
Abruptly, several powerful and wonderful energy fluctuations spread out from the sword’s blade.
