"Don't worry, you will first become my food, and then I will destroy you completely."
Before Qiu Shou Xian finished speaking, his body suddenly swelled up, and amidst the surging blue light, his ferocious true form as a blue-haired lion was revealed.
The lion's head stood proudly, its huge, copper bell-shaped eyes flashing with greed and ferocity.
He opened his blood-red maw, which seemed to be a bottomless vortex, and beneath his menacing fangs lay darkness intent on devouring everything.
Xiao Hei possesses the bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon, making it a highly nourishing substance for cultivators, especially those who focus on strengthening their physical bodies.
Although Qiu Shouxian did not specialize in body cultivation, he was not about to let such an opportunity slip by.
If he could devour the bloodline of the Ancestral Dragon, his stagnant physical body and cultivation might be able to break through the shackles and reach a higher level.
A tremendous suction force emanated from the mouth of the swirling-headed immortal. Little Black, already severely injured, lay on the ground with no power to fight back.
However, just as Xiao Hei was about to be completely sucked into its mouth, Tai Bai, who had been hiding in the shadows, suddenly released an aura.
The black hair all over Qiu Shou Xian's body suddenly stood on end, and all the smugness in his heart vanished.
His act of devouring froze abruptly, overwhelmed by boundless fear.
Without hesitation, he vanished his demonic aura and instantly transformed back into the Taoist priest he had been before. He knelt down with a thud towards the source of the aura, kowtowed repeatedly, and cried out urgently:
"Misunderstanding! Senior Brother, it's all a misunderstanding! This disciple had no idea this beast was related to you, and would never have dared to offend you intentionally!"
The dull thud of kowtows rang out, sounding particularly jarring in the suddenly deathly silent forest.
At this moment, Taibai's figure slowly appeared, standing right in front of Xiaohei, blocking Qiushouxian's view.
He didn't look at the kowtowing Qiu Shou Xian, but simply raised his right hand slightly and pressed it lightly towards the heavily injured Xiao Hei.
In an instant, a soft, five-colored radiance flowed out, weaving together a vibrant halo that enveloped Xiao Hei.
The five elements cycle endlessly, representing the most fundamental life-nourishing force.
Within the halo, Xiao Hei's wounds began to heal at a visible speed, his broken bones were remodeled, and his weakened aura quickly became stronger.
In just ten breaths, the light faded, and Xiao Hei had already flipped over and leaped up. Not only were his injuries fully healed, but his depleted energy and spirit had also returned to their peak state.
Xiao Hei immediately bent its forelimbs and bowed its head respectfully: "This disciple thanks Master for saving my life!"
Taibai looked at Xiao Hei kneeling on the ground and nodded in satisfaction. In fact, he was quite satisfied with Xiao Hei.
After all, Qiu Shou Xian was one of the top immortals in the Jie Sect when it came to offensive and killing techniques, so Xiao Hei's performance was already quite good.
On the other hand, the prostrate Qiu Shou Xian was covered in cold sweat, and a small patch of ground beneath his forehead was wet.
He knew Taibai's methods and his ruthlessness, so he had no idea how Taibai would treat him.
The more Taibai remained silent towards him, the more alarmed he became.
Tormented by fear, Qiu Shouxian kowtowed several more times, his voice trembling:
"Disciple knows his mistake! I beg Senior Brother to forgive me! Please spare me this time! Disciple is willing to accept any punishment, to serve you like a beast of burden, without any complaint!"
He dared not stop, and could only try to express his remorse with louder kowtows and more humble words.
Even being beaten half to death is still a thousand times better than being completely destroyed, with ten thousand years of cultivation amounting to nothing.
Finally, Taibai slowly turned around, his gaze lowered, and there was no warmth in his eyes, only a cold scrutiny.
The undisguised, chilling killing intent emanating from him almost froze the surrounding air.
"Alright, Junior Brother Qiu Shou Xian. I truly never expected that you would have such fear; it's quite astonishing."
"Since you recognize Xiao Hei, how dare you try to kill him? I saw clearly just now that they did not provoke us first."
Upon hearing this, Qiu Shouxian felt a chill run down his spine.
He kowtowed faster and harder, his forehead a bloody mess mixed with dirt and gravel, pleading incoherently:
"This disciple was bewitched! This disciple was blinded by greed! Senior brother, please see the truth, this disciple will never dare to do it again!"
"I only beg you, senior brother, to grant me a way out. I am willing to be your mount for ten thousand years, to atone for my sins!"
"Oh? You don't know you're wrong, you're just no match for me right now."
"If your cultivation level were higher than mine, my fate would probably be even worse than Xiao Hei's right now, wouldn't it?"
Qiu Shou Xian trembled all over, not daring to reply, and simply lowered his head even further.
Taibai glanced at Xiao Hei beside him, then at Qiu Shou Xian's blue-faced, fanged appearance, and shook his head with considerable disdain:
"Serving as a cow or a horse? A mount? Forget it, I already have a mount. With your appearance, you're out of the question."
Qiu Shouxian's heart, which had just sank, was instantly lifted again, hanging in mid-air.
"However, the fact remains that you injured one of my men. Even brothers keep clear accounts, so compensation is inevitable."
At this moment, Qiu Shou Xian understood perfectly. He practically pulled a gleaming storage bag from his robes, held it high above his head with both hands, and presented it to Taibai, saying urgently:
"Senior Brother, please understand! This bag contains some rare and precious medicinal herbs that I have accumulated over the years. I earnestly hope that you will accept it as compensation!"
Taibai gently swept his divine sense over the storage bag, and immediately understood what was inside.
Two or three mid-grade innate spiritual fruits, dozens of acquired spiritual treasures of varying quality, plus a pile of miscellaneous spiritual materials—this would be a considerable fortune in the eyes of ordinary cultivators, but to him, it was nothing special.
He casually picked up the storage bag, and without even looking at it, tossed it lightly to Xiao Hei.
Are you trying to humiliate me?
Upon hearing this, Qiu Shou Xian knew that Qiu Shou was complaining that he hadn't given enough.
He hesitated for a long time before finally reluctantly taking out the Tai Chi talisman and pushing it forward.
He was unwilling to hand over these items, but the Lion-Dragon Blade was personally forged by the Tongtian Sect Leader, and the Form Heaven Seal belonged to Lü Yue. He could not touch either of them.
Taibai did not take over, but instead said to Qiushou Xian:
"You think your life is only worth this much? Hand over the other two items as well."
He was too lazy to say much and went straight to the point.
Qiu Shou Xian trembled all over and banged his head on the ground three more times.
"Senior Brother, you mustn't! The Lion-Dragon Saber was personally bestowed upon me by our Master. I dare not hand it over. Please, have mercy..."
Taibai said no more, rolled up his sleeves, and took the two spiritual treasures from Qiushou Xian's hands.
Now that Ran Deng is seriously injured, the greatest threat in terms of cultivation has been eliminated.
Even if Qiu Shou Xian loses his magic weapon, no one in the Xiqi camp can defeat him. On the contrary, this can be used to weaken his combat power and give Xiqi a greater advantage.
"Junior brother, aren't you leaving yet? Do you intend for me to see you off?"
Qiu Shou Xian sensed the murderous aura enveloping him once more, and no longer caring about his magical treasures, he hastily bowed and transformed into a streak of green, fleeing towards the Yin Shang camp.
