Chapter 3: Taking Advantage of the Situation to Escape

  Zi Lei was born into a wealthy family, from small to large, when had he ever seen blood, let alone bloody eyeballs, yellow and white intertwined, looking at it makes people feel sick.

  However, at this time he did not have a trace of disgust, and even after swallowing, he still had an unfulfilled desire. He opened his legs wide and pounced on the road again, wanting to dig out and eat away the other eye as well.

  Would like to eat his flesh and gnaw his bones, but it's just this much.

  "You beast, how dare you bite your master!"

  Covering his bleeding eyes with one hand, he leapt up and pointed at Zilei with a ferocious expression, thundering.

  But his pale face couldn't hide the terror in his heart, and as he saw Qi Lei pounce over, he was so frightened that he suddenly couldn't stand still, stumbling backwards and turning to flee outside. It wasn't until he was about to step across the threshold that he suddenly came to his senses, remembering that he had the "Soul-Binding Secret Technique" at hand. As long as he could buy some time, he could use it again to suppress Qi Lei.

  And if Zilei possessed the body of an eagle, he would only be a flat-haired beast being chased by another flat-haired beast, running around in all directions. If this gets out, how can he still mix in Tianshui City?!

  Tianshui City is close to the Tianshan Mountains and has rich resources for cultivation, making it a rare treasure land.

  Moreover, he had already established himself in the upper echelons of Tianshui City through his connections with the Qi family and then with the nobles. The name "Immortal" was almost universally known, and the resources he needed were readily available without him having to search for them himself. With just a call, countless ordinary people would rush to deliver them to him.

  Such a treasure land and such treatment have a crucial role in his cultivation plan.

  "You beast, today I will thoroughly deal with you!"

  He narrowed his one remaining eye, gritted his teeth and steeled himself. Ignoring the empty socket's bloody mess, he stretched out a hand to retrieve the feather duster from his person. With a mighty swing, the soft duster instantly transformed into a rigid iron rod composed of countless fine threads.

  "Ah!"

  A straight whisk was raised, like a heavy club, bringing wind sound, and fell towards Zilei.

  When Zilei saw Fucheng, his heart skipped a beat.

  He has been with Yan Dao for a long time and naturally knows one or two of his methods.

  There are three kinds of magical and mysterious things in the world.

  The first is a small yellow book, whose contents are unknown, extremely precious, and has never been allowed to be seen; the second is this duster, which seems soft and useless, but can be hard or soft, as hard as gold or iron, can shatter giant rocks, and when weak, its elasticity is unmatched, can lift thousands of kilograms of heavy objects; the third is a hawk attached to Qi Lei's body, with wings spread wide it can soar in the sky, fierce and powerful enough to fight lions and tigers, but has lowered itself to follow Wenda, loyal beyond compare.

  "It's terrible, if one is hit by this dustpan, it's either death or injury."

  The eagle's ferocity he had only heard of, but not seen with his own eyes. As the saying goes, "what is heard is false, what is seen is true", so in his heart, he wasn't particularly convinced. However, the power of the duster he had witnessed with his own eyes, and comparing the two, his fear of the duster naturally took precedence.

  Fortunately, although the wings were not very useful, the two eagle legs were very powerful.

  As soon as he saw the dust fall, his claws suddenly stretched out, and with a burst of strength from his legs, he forcibly scratched the ground, leaving several deep marks. He abruptly stopped his forward momentum and came to an abrupt halt.

  Bang

  The dust flew up against his chest, drawing a few strands of feathers, and slammed into the ground, creating a deep pit on the surface. Cracks spread out from the center of the pit in all directions, with a force that was astonishing to hear.

  Whistle

  Zi Lei's heart was greatly shocked, a sharp cry sounded, and unknowingly, he spread his two wings and flapped them with a whoosh.

  A strong gust of wind blew forward, and the counterforce of the wind caused him to involuntarily retreat backward, his feet gradually leaving the ground, and he actually flew up.

  "Can fly?!"

  He looked at Yan Dao who was gradually getting shorter and couldn't help but feel overjoyed.

  But the joy came quickly and went even faster, he hadn't even let out a breath of relief when he felt his body lose control, stiffly falling straight down.

  Splashing sound

  He fell heavily to the ground, rolling over several times before stabilizing his body.

  "Haha, you beast, can't even fly properly, yet still dare to bite back at your master, asking for death!"

  Yan Dao's entire body was covered in blood, even the few strands of whiskers on his forehead had turned red. His one eye glared with a fierce light, his face twisted and sinister, yet his mouth curled up into a cruel and cold smile. He grasped a straight-bristled duster in his hand, step by step closing in on Qi Lei.

  "I know you're Zire, humph, if you want revenge, then give up on that idea. If you still stubbornly refuse to change your ways, I won't just kill you, I'll also kill off your family members one by one. Don't think about others, but at least consider your elderly mother."

  The eagle that can be a pet is probably one in ten thousand, extremely precious, and he would never think of capturing it unless absolutely necessary.

  And the eagle contained too much of his heart's blood, not to mention integrating with Zile's soul, enduring the temperament, teaching the "Refining Soul Decree", and even the spirit pills and medicines he fed it every day, no one knew how many, each one was what he had searched for with great difficulty, also containing countless deceptions, murders and bloodshed.

  Under such cultivation without regard for cost, the eagle has undergone a thorough transformation, its combat strength far surpassing that of an ordinary pet. As long as the imprint of Zile's soul is erased, the eagle will become his most loyal slave and his greatest aid in standing firm in the "Mystical Realm".

  It's really a pity to kill!

  Just pay off Zile and spare my eagle!

  He couldn't help but feel a pang in his heart, and one by one, plots and ideas floated up into his mind.

  Zi Lei's head was spinning and his body ached all over with wave after wave of pain.

  He, on the other hand, was not surprised but delighted, and could feel the pain of his body, which meant that he had begun to merge with his body. As long as he truly achieved coordination and unity between his soul and body, his chances of escaping would greatly increase.

  But the words that came out were like a dull club, crashing down on his head, dispersing all joy and leaving him momentarily stunned.

  The real me has already died, can't let family members follow and die too?!

  He is ruthless and cunning, with some sinister skills. If he really wants to deal with the Qi family, the Qi family will have no room for resistance.

  Can it really be that there will be no resistance? Just let the words drive, become its slave, and go to help the tiger? What about the revenge for killing one's body?

  He thought back and forth, contradictory and couldn't choose for a while.

  "As long as you listen to me, I will treat the Qi family well and even help them become the master of the city, enjoying wealth and glory without end."

  The words seemed to have a magical power, causing Zile to sink in an instant.

  A grand and serious voice rose again, more urgent than before, with a more obvious sense of threat and coercion.

  "Wrong, I've been tricked!"

  The Qi family is deeply rooted in the city of Tianshui, and their relationships are even more complex. To overthrow the Qi family, one would have to overthrow the entire aristocracy of Tianshui first. Relying on his words alone, as an outsider with only a little magic, how dare he act so recklessly? Does he think he's the only one in the world who understands magic?!

  Despicable and shameless, you still want to deceive me?

  Zi Lei suddenly opened his eyes which were about to close and let out a long sigh.

  With a mighty flap of its wings, the creature's two claws pushed off the ground with great force, and in an instant, its body shot upwards like a shooting star falling from the sky, hurtling towards Shendao.

  He thought he had the upper hand, but secretly cursed Qi Lei as "stupid", and his mind relaxed a bit. He took advantage of the opportunity to concentrate all his energy and cast the "Soul-Binding Secret Technique". Unexpectedly, Qi Lei suddenly made a move, and for a moment, he was unprepared, didn't even have time to pick up his dust-wiping cloth, and was torn off a large piece of scalp by a pair of iron-like claws.

  Fresh blood gushed out, dripping down the cheeks and even flowing into the empty eye sockets, making the eyes that had slightly alleviated pain flare up again.

  "Oh no, it hurts so much!"

  He couldn't help but let out a loud yell, and in his great anger, he no longer had any tender feelings for the eagle. He grabbed hold of its legs and flung it away with all his might.

  "You beast, since you want to die, don't blame me for being ruthless."

  He fiercely wiped the fresh blood on his face, dusting off his hands, standing upright like an iron rod, ferociously gritting his teeth, and strode towards Zilei with big strides.

  Zi Lei made a surprise attack and achieved success, but unfortunately his body was still not agile, and he was caught and thrown back, cutting off his idea of taking the opportunity to escape.

  Since we can't escape, let's fight it out.

  He ignored the pain all over his body, shook his head and stood up, with both eyes staring out in anger.

  He wanted to jump up again, with the posture of a moth flying into the fire, and rush up again. Even if he died, he would die on the way to kill the enemy, and would never panic and wait.

  Unfortunately, his paws were stuck together with a large piece of scalp, sticky and scraping on the ground, feeling powerless.

  Of course he can lift his paws and shake off the skin, but in doing so, he gives Shendiao a chance to strike a fatal blow.

  "It's just a scalp wound, it can't be an obstacle for me to launch an attack."

  He was furious, his two claws curled up and made a great effort to pierce downwards, wanting to touch the ground, but for some reason, his pierced claws felt sore, and unexpectedly, he couldn't even penetrate a small piece of scalp.

  "What is the decision of the words and deeds cultivation? Thick-skinned method?"

  He couldn't help but suspect that his heart was getting more and more anxious. If he still couldn't jump up and attack, then he could only wait for death.

  It is said that heaven will never cut off a man's road, just then, suddenly someone shouted and the sound of a horse falling over was heard.

  "Something's wrong! The True Man's house has been robbed, go and rescue them quickly!"

  "A strong smell of blood, it seems a true expert has been injured."

  "Quickly rush in, don't let the thief escape."

  The loud shouting shook the sky and spread throughout almost the entire Tianshui City.

  Yan Dao has already gained a foothold in Tianshui City and, thanks to his connections with Qi Lei, has become a well-known "Old Immortal".

  As soon as he heard that "Lao Shen Xian" was attacked, that ordinary person dared not to do his best, and another one was eager to be the first to make an effort, in order to get closer to "Lao Shen Xian".

  "Whoosh!"

  The tightly closed big gate was broken open, a group of people holding iron shovels and carrying wooden sticks, even some grasping stones, rushed in without saying a word, competing with each other to pounce on Yan Dao.

  Of course, they didn't want to kill him, but wanted to be the first to save "the old immortal".

  The first one disregarded danger and rescued "Old Immortal"!

  Bring honor to your ancestors!

  And "old fairy" should show up anyway!

  What a good opportunity, who doesn't rush forward, who is a fool!

  As for the murderer, let's talk about it later!
