Chapter 2088 - 2086: Mountain Lord, Save Me

Chapter 2088: Chapter 2086: Mountain Lord, Save Me

Mountain Lord Meng looked at the blockage ahead but did not stop his steps. Li Feng was somewhat surprised. Was he planning to fight to the death?

That was precisely to his liking.

But suddenly, Mountain Lord Meng threw the Qingqiu Holy Daughter, who was tucked under his arm, directly at Li Feng.

Li Feng was indeed taken aback by the opponent’s sacrifice, giving up the cart for the good of the king, especially since the one thrown was the Qingqiu Holy Daughter. Had this guy gone insane?

Originally holding the Immortal Slaying Sword, united with the Four Holy Swords, Li Feng prepared to strike Mountain Lord Meng directly. But what flew at him was the Qingqiu Holy Daughter, causing a slight hesitation in his strike.

No.

Li Feng quickly regained his composure, his wrist flicking as the domineering Phoenix Flame transformed into a phoenix rushing towards the oncoming Qingqiu Holy Daughter. In an instant, the Sword Qi sliced her in half, and the Phoenix Flame ignited from the cut, transforming the Qingqiu Holy Daughter into thousands of peach blossoms.

Li Feng furrowed his brows. He hadn’t expected the Peach Blossom Demoness to leave behind such a lifelike clone before dying. In that delay, Mountain Lord Meng had already left behind a trailing shadow, swiftly slipping past, diving into the mountain behind.

Without much thought, Li Feng turned and pursued Mountain Lord Meng. The Qingqiu Holy Daughter was most likely still with him. Li Feng dispersed the Vermilion Bird Wings behind him; flames expanded and blasted under his feet, propelling him like a cannonball with unyielding speed, closely trailing the target.

As the King of the Lynx clan, Mountain Lord Meng moved through the forest as though it were flat ground, barely reducing his speed. A different pursuer might have been left behind in the blink of an eye.

Unexpectedly, even after rushing over several mountain peaks, Li Feng remained close behind, drawing even nearer than before. The occasional Phoenix Flame from behind was causing Mountain Lord Meng some distraction. If the pursuit continued like this, it would be hard to shake him off.

Mountain Lord Meng gritted his teeth and dashed over another mountain peak, suddenly issuing a cry for help into the forest: "Black Rock Mountain Lord, I am your brother Meng Mountain Lord, quickly come to my aid."

His plea echoed through the dense forest, but there was no immediate response from within.

"Black Rock Mountain Lord, I am the Qingqiu Holy Daughter. If you aid us, Qingqiu owes you a favor, and in the future, if you request anything, Qingqiu will repay it doubly."

Meanwhile, in Mountain Lord Meng’s embrace, the transformed Qingqiu Holy Daughter, now a fox, bit her lip and called for assistance.

"Southwest, thirty miles."

A response came from the forest. Hearing this, Mountain Lord Meng immediately changed direction, accelerating even further.

Thirty miles was only a few mountain peaks away, practically just a few breaths of time before Mountain Lord Meng sensed the presence of Black Rock Mountain Lord, promptly rushing towards him.

In no time.

Mountain Lord Meng saw Black Rock Mountain Lord atop the mountain, maintaining the stance of a demon beast despite being a Mountain Lord.

Those who take human form are of the Demon Clan, while those retaining their beast forms are Demon Beasts. Among demon beasts, those with formidable strength reign over mountains as kings; those who hold territories spanning hundreds of miles are River and Mountain Overlords.

Here, the Overlord was Black Rock Mountain Lord, who ruled over the surrounding eight hundred miles of mountain and river, with strength unmatched by even Mountain Lord Meng.

"Black Rock Mountain Lord."

Black Rock Mountain Lord was an enormous black tiger, bearing some battle scars, lying on a prominent mountain rock. Upon seeing the somewhat disheveled Mountain Lord Meng, Black Rock Mountain Lord spoke.

"Heh, Mountain Lord Meng, it’s been a long time. You’ve come to my territory without a word."

Though a demon beast, as the Mountain Lord of these eight hundred miles, Black Rock Mountain Lord was aware of every breeze and movement within.

This journey of Mountain Lord Meng into his territory was unannounced. If it weren’t for Meng becoming Qingqiu’s stooge, Black Rock Mountain Lord wouldn’t want to stir any trouble. Otherwise, he would have already appeared to demand an explanation.

"Brother, I was wrong. I will personally apologize afterward."

"But now, I ask you to help fend off the pursuer. As long as I can escort the Qingqiu Holy Daughter back safely, Qingqiu will remember your life-saving grace, and you will be richly rewarded later."

Before Meng Mountain Lord finished speaking, Li Feng had swiftly arrived, noticing a large black tiger lying on a prominent mountain rock, exuding an Overlord aura.

The black tiger glanced at Li Feng and decided to do Qingqiu a favor. After all, the Qingqiu Holy Daughter held a noble status and was the direct descendant of the nine-tailed fox, making this a significant favor.

"Kid, this is my territory. This Meng Mountain Lord is my brother. Today, give me, Black Rock Mountain Lord, some face, and I’ll save his life."

Li Feng, looking at the black tiger exhibiting some big brother demeanor, couldn’t help but chuckle: "You’ll save him?"

"What will you use to save them?"

"I advise you not to meddle in these affairs. The Demon Beast clan is known to avoid interfering in battles between two clans. Now, with disputes reigniting between the Demon Clan and Ancestor Dragon City, inserting yourself could bring trouble."

Li Feng wasn’t particularly courteous. Mountain Lord Meng needed to be killed, and the Qingqiu Holy Daughter had to be captured.

Black Rock Mountain Lord, displeased upon hearing this.

The Qingqiu Holy Daughter addressed him as Mountain Lord, and Meng Mountain Lord called him big brother, yet this human kid refused to show him respect.

The black tiger rose from the rock, walking with a dragon’s gait towards Li Feng: "Did I not speak clearly a moment ago."

"This is my territory, and here, failing to respect me means you’re my enemy."

"So, think carefully before speaking, human kid."

Black Rock Mountain Lord’s Overlord aura weighed down like a mountain, pressing heavily.

Words were pointless when clashing with this black tiger, who thought himself significant, as a demon beast Mountain Lord intervening.

Seeing the Meng Mountain Lord appear to seek an opportunity to escape, Li Feng could not allow him to get away.

Li Feng raised his eyes to the massive black tiger in front of him, wielding the Immortal Slaying Sword, which transformed into a stream of light that flew out, with several phantoms suspending around the tiger, immobilizing the beast, as Li Feng smiled coldly.

He then raised the Immortal Slaying Sword in his hand, aiming at the tiger’s neck with a slash.

The black tiger sensed the anomaly, but the Exterminating Immortal Sword Formation seemingly froze it in place, making it momentarily unable to escape, even though the constraint lasted but a fleeting moment, allowing Li Feng to swing his sword.

Yet, this black tiger was no ordinary foe. As a demon beast, it was naturally sensitive to danger, with dragon scale-like black armor surfacing instantly.

This black armor was formed by the black tiger absorbing a special metal from the surroundings into its bloodline, utilizing the Blood Refining Technique, normally concealed beneath its skin, and during activation, it covers the entire body as if adorned with scale armor.

This black armor was his trump card in dominating these eight hundred miles, surviving countless challenges and near-death experiences, ultimately laughing last.

This time, there would be no exception.

This mere human dared to provoke trouble; truly a newborn calf not fearing the tiger, unaware of the Black Rock Mountain Lord’s might.
