The Nine Cauldrons Chapter 273 - It's Him

Book 6 Chapter 30 It’s Him!
 

The entire snowy mountain seemed to tremble because of Teng Qingshan’s furious roar.

Rumble~~~~

The Red Eyed Snow Lion lifted its big head and stared at the snow which was sliding down from the peak of the mountain.

It couldn't help but roar sorrowfully and angrily. “Roar~~~” The Red Eyed Snow Lion was really furious this time. As a noble Red Eyed Snow Lion, it already admitted defeat and retreated, why was this human still pursuing it? This was what the Snow Lion was thinking.

“Rumble~~~” The accumulating snow on the entire snowy mountain was sliding down like the waves of a roaring tsunami and trapped the Red Eyed Snow Lion.

Red Eyed Snow Lion’s gigantic body looked so tiny in front of this endless avalanche!

As the accumulating snow tumbled down! The claws of the Red Eyed Snow Lion had no use in against this avalanche.

At the skirt of the mountain.
  

Watching this scene, Teng Qingshan furrowed his brows puzzledly and said, “This doesn't make any sense. The instant the Red Eyed Snow Lion noticed the avalanche, it should have jumped! With the strength of the Red Eyed Snow Lion’s body, leaping twenty to thirty zhangs shouldn’t be a difficulty! It just needed to leap up and continue running!”

Teng Qingshan originally prepared to pursue by leaping forward!
  

Teng Qingshan was confident  that he could catch up if he pursued it this way.

However, he didn't expect that the Red Eyed actually tumbled along with the accumulated snow and thought to himself, “Perhaps? This Red Eyed Snow Lion was too heavily wounded? And it already dying? No! If it’s dying, it wouldn't be able to run that fast!”

“I can't be careless! Once I become careless, it’ll be me, not the lion, who dies!” Teng Qingshan leaped and jumped twenty Zhang into the air.

Whew! Whew! Whew!

Like a human grasshopper, Teng Qingshan leaped up as soon as he descended on the accumulated snow and continued rushing forward.

In the surging and tumbling snow, the gigantic Red Eyed Snow Lion curled up like a little cat. One of its front paw could finally grab the Reincarnation Spear on its belly! It was impossible for it to pull out the Reincarnation Spear while running.

However, it was possible to use its front paw if it lied down and curled up its body!

“Puchi!’ The Reincarnation Spear was finally pulled out!

“Roar~~~” The Red Eyed Snow Lion roared excitedly with happiness flashing in its demonic red eyes! Heavens! Because of this item thrusted into its belly, it had felt pain whenever it moved a step. Now, the source of its pain was finally free.

However, the Red Eyed Snow Lion’s eyes immediately contracted——

The Red Eyed Snow Lion saw that in the sky above the tumbling snow, a figure leaped extremely high up and was darting forward! Seeing this evil human, all the happiness the Red Eyed Snow Lion felt disappeared as it immediately became increasingly angry——Why was this human lingering like a ghost?

“Roar~~~” The Red Eyed Snow Lion leaped up.

The man and the demonic beast met on the sliding snow. Raising the bulky sleeves of his cotton cloak, Teng Qingshan held the handle of the Splitting Mountain Axe with both of his hands. He lifted the Splitting Mountain Axe up highly! Under the glow of the white snow, the Splitting Mountain Axe reflected a cold freezing beam.

“Ha~~”  Teng Qingshan shouted with fierce-looking eyes.

With the strength of both of his hands, he slashed!

“Roarroar~~” The Red Eyed Snow Lion waved its two big claws, longing to tear Teng Qingshan into pieces.

“Boom!”

Teng Qingshan’s Splitting Mountain Axe slashed on the Red Eyed Snow Lion’s sharp claws.

A rippling shockwave resulted on the flatland.

“Rumble~~” The accumulating snow in the surrounding was blasted away by the impact, revealing an empty space. Teng Qingshan and the Red Eyed Snow Lion separated and tumbled down. Teng Qingshan suddenly saw a silver long spear below, tumbling along with the sliding snow.

The Reincarnation Spear!

“I can’t lose the spear.” Teng Qingshan tumbled down and pounced towards the Reincarnation Spear. If he didn’t take the Reincarnation Spear now and it became covered by the snow, who knows where the Reincarnation Spear would be on this boundless snowy mountain?

When Teng Qingshan went to get the Reincarnation Spear, the Red Eyed Snow Lion turned and looked over.

“Roar~~~” When the Red Eyed Snow Lion saw that the human did not pursue, it immediately fled excitedly at an even more rapid speed. Actually, it also regretted slightly——if it had known that the human valued that weapon so greatly, it would have thrown it far away intentionally.

Feeling excited, the Red Eyed Snow Lion leaped several times and was out of the region affected by the avalanche. It then sped rapidly and arrive at the peak of the snowy mountain.

“I finally got it.” Teng Qingshan still held the Splitting Mountain Axe with his left hand and the Reincarnation Spear in his right hand.

“Still thinking of escaping?” Teng Qingshan continued pursuing the Snow Lion at lightning speed. After two leaps and after dashing for a short while, Teng Qingshan arrive the top of the snowy mountain and looked down——

A gigantic figure was running rapidly towards the bottom of the mountain and was almost reaching its destination. It was obvious that its speed down the mountain was a lot faster than its speed up the mountain.

   ……

Actually, it wasn’t strange. The Red Eyed Snow Lion has such gigantic body but only a strength of a million Jin. Teng Qingshan’s body was a lot smaller than the Snow Lion, but the strength he possessed was on par with the Snow Lion. It was obvious that in terms of physical strength and endurance, Teng Qingshan surpassed the Red Eyed Snow LIon!

The only advantage that the Red Eyed Snow Lion possessed was its tough fur and skin and its thick layer of muscle.

In addition, the heavier the body, the greater the impact! The Red Eyed Snow Lion was simply too heavy. If it jumped down from the mountain, the force of impact would be a lot greater than Teng Qingshan’s.

“Roar~~” The Red Eyed Snow Lion began running desperately, while Teng Qingshan held the Splitting Mountain Axe and the Reincarnation Spear as he chased behind! Perhaps even a Golden Dan innate expert wouldn’t dare to treat a Red Eyed Snow Lion that was about to reach the pinnacle of its culmination this way!

The physically strong Teng Qingshan was like a demonic beast!

Therefore, he possessed more of an advantage when fighting demonic beasts!

Whew whew!

The man and the demonic beast transformed into blurred afterimages.

“This fellow is running faster and faster!” Teng Qingshan stared at the Red Eyed Snow Lion going farther away. He wanted to accelerate…..but whenever he wanted to boost his physical strength,  the pain on his waist constantly gave him a headache.

The waist was the center of the body!

The waist was extremely important when one wanted to run with full strength. Teng Qingshan had previously injured his waist, and similarly. the Red Eyed Snow Lion had a Reincarnation stuck in its body, thus, both of them couldn’t run at their full speed. Now, since the Snow Lion managed to pull the Reincarnation Spear out, it naturally ran at a faster pace.

However, Teng Qingshan’s speed was still the same, therefore, he couldn’t catch up!

“Roar~~~” In the distance, a exciting and proud roar sounded. It seemed like the Snow Lion was very proud that it manage to lose Teng Qingshan.

“Snow Lion, today is your lucky day! Don’t let me see you next time!” Teng Qingshan could only humph furiously and stopped moving.

Teng Qingshan checked the wounds on his waist. Since Internal Martial Arts cultivation focused on the body’s health, the healing effect of the Internal Supreme Force was a lot better than the Innate True Origin. “Even with the Internal Supreme Force, this wound would need two to three days to be completely healed,” thought Teng Qingshan.

“Now, I have to choose a place to cultivate in peace!”

The next morning.

The grass on the prairie was wet with cold frost while a gush of wind blew gently. The prairie seemed very peaceful, and numerous yurts could be seen nearby. A small tribe was stationed here. Some tribesmen walked out of the yurts, preparing for breakfast.

Suddenly, the earth trembled, and they all turned to look into the distance.

Faraway, a huge troop of riders appeared.

“So many. Are they mounted bandits?”

“Too many.”

The tribesmen were even dumbstruck. They were only a small tribe of a few hundred people. If this vigorous and powerful troop was here to deal with their tribe, they wouldn’t even have the chance to survive.

Under the gaze of the tribesmen, the vigorous and powerful troop passed by the tribe.

“It’s the Whole Gale Tribe!“

“It’s the army of the Whole Gale Tribe! There must be a few thousand people.”

“The thousands of warriors are wearing armors and riding war horses. Who forced the Whole Gale Tribe to dispatch such a powerful army?!”

Leading this vigorous army was a man dressed in an expensive golden fur coat. The iron cap on his head was inlaid with a red rubby. The man had a solemn expression as he gazed into the distance while mounted on a blood-red war horse!

This was one of the three great Dragon Horses, the Blood Dragon Horse!

The Blood Dragon Horse was also called the Vermillion Wind Beast. It was the best war horse of the entire Nine Prefectures. Only the Dark Dragon Horse, also known as the Dark Demonic Horse, and the White Dragon Horse, also known as the Celestial Horse, could be compared with the Blood Dragon Horse. Those that were able to ride this type of war horses definitely possessed extremely high status.

“Morgan!” The man wearing the expensive fur coat spoke.

“General!” Beside the man was the leader of the riders who tried to encircle Teng Qingshan.

“How much further away is the Qilian Tribe?” The general asked coldly.

The leader of the riders said respectfully, “General, the Qilian Tribe is four hundred to five hundred Li away from here. Our army should be able to arrive there by noon!”

“Hmmm” The general nodded and stopped talking while the leader of the riders appeared even more obedient.

Advance all the way!

Soon, the general could see the continuous range of snowy mountains and praised, “The pure-white and holy snow mountain…..These are the gifts of the God of Heaven! We have to thank the God of Heaven. With gratefulness in our hearts, we can never forget the blessings of the God of Heaven.”

The leader of the riders could only nod along.

Suddenly, the general focused his sight on a snowy mountain that was shorter than the others. On top of that snowy mountain, a figure was sitting cross-legged. The wind blew passed, fluttering his hair, but in that cold wind, the figure remained like a rock on the peak of the mountain.

“Looks like he has been cultivating arduously all night just like the cultivators on the God of Heaven Mountain. All of them are really admirable,” the general praised.

The leader of the riders looked over, but he only felt dubious as he frowned.

Because the distance between the army and Teng Qingshan was more than two hundred Zhang, even though the leader of the rider was an inner strength expert, he could barely see the figure clearly. “Jia!”  The leader of the riders galloped his horse and headed towards that snowy mountain.

The general’s facial expression immediately changed as he roared angrily, “Morgan!”

After a few minutes——

“General!” In the distance, the leader of the riders turned and shouted excitedly, “It’s him! The murderer is him!!!”
