The Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable had already secretly resolved to forcibly claim Zhao Feiyan for himself.

Seeing Zhao Feiyan fleeing with Wang Xiaoqiang at this moment, he refused to agree, and immediately took his two avatars and a bunch of underlings and flew after them.

Flying over Yan Mountain was simply a suicidal act.

Not everyone was foolish, so the majority did not follow in pursuit.

Meanwhile, Wang Xiaoqiang, driving the Patterned Beast at high speed, looked back and saw the Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable and his foolish underlings chasing after him, and he ordered the Patterned Beast to turn invisible.

After the Patterned Beast turned invisible, Wang Xiaoqiang and Zhao Feiyan, who were standing on the Patterned Beast, also disappeared from sight.

The group behind them saw their chasing target suddenly vanish and couldn't help but stop in their tracks, their faces full of confusion.

These fifteen individuals clung to the Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable because their own cultivation bases were not high. They willingly became underlings to save their lives and with their cultivation bases, they naturally could not detect the invisible Patterned Beast.

However, the Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable could detect them using his powerful and meticulous Divine Sense.

But it also required a bit of time.

Just as the Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable released his Divine Sense to meticulously search for Wang Xiaoqiang and Zhao Feiyan's whereabouts, suddenly, a large group of Flying Beasts, from the southern sky, flew over.

This was not a coincidence but an inevitable result.

Because cultivators flying in the sky create significant Spiritual Energy Waves, and if a large group of cultivators flew together, those Spiritual Energy Waves would be even larger. Spirit Beasts are highly sensitive to Spiritual Energy Waves, and upon detecting them, they would collectively leave their caves and fly over to hunt the cultivators.

At this moment, the cultivators became their prey.

Moreover, they would target cultivators with higher cultivation bases,

The reason was simple; they wanted not only to devour the bodies of the cultivators to satisfy their hunger but also to refine and transform the cultivators' Dantian,

The Dantian of a cultivator is the repository of one's Spiritual Power, essentially the culmination of years of cultivation.

Just like cultivators refine and absorb Spirit Marrow to level up, Spirit Beasts refine Dantian to achieve the purpose of upgrading.

"Ah, boss, not good, Flying Beasts..."

Seeing a large group of Flying Beasts swooping in, someone cried out in alarm.

The Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable heard this and had to stop searching for Wang Xiaoqiang and Zhao Feiyan. Turning his Divine Sense, he saw ten Flying Beasts flying over.

Ten Flying Beasts was not a small number, their power was not to be underestimated. If they had been a group of hundreds, they might have been able to handle it, but unfortunately, they were only sixteen people, no, counting the avatars, it should be eighteen,

Eighteen people battling against ten such powerful Flying Beasts had no chance of victory at all.

The Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable seeing this also panicked and immediately shouted, "Touch down."

Saying that, he was the first to fly down to the ground, followed by his two avatars, who landed tightly guarding their original form.

The group of underlings also scrambled nervously to the ground.

Luring the Flying Beasts to fight on the ground was a wise move since the Flying Beasts' strength was greatest in the sky, while conversely, the cultivators consumed a certain amount of Spiritual Power in the sky and didn't have the advantage over the Flying Beasts.

But once they landed, the situation changed drastically.

On the ground, the cultivators had the upper hand, but the Flying Beasts struggled somewhat.

However, these Flying Beasts would not let these cultivators go just because they had landed; ten massive Flying Beasts, as large as huts, thunderously flapped their huge wings and dived down toward the eighteen people.

"Roar roar roar…"

"Ah ah…"

"Bang bang bang…"

In an instant, the terrifying roars of the Flying Beasts, mixed with the cultivators' screams of agony and the sound of Magic Treasure Immortal Swords colliding with the bodies of the Flying Beasts, rose all around,

Just from hearing these sounds, one could imagine how intense the battle between the cultivators and the Flying Beasts was!

Looking at the scene now, it resembled a hell on earth, and the scene was too gruesome to bear,

The weaker cultivators simply couldn't withstand. They immediately became like live targets, torn apart by the Flying Beasts' giant claws and mouths, limbs flying, blood splattering wildly…

A body that was alive moments ago was instantly turned into a heap of shredded flesh…

Of course, in the confrontation, the Flying Beasts also suffered casualties.

The Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable, under the protection of his two avatars, repeatedly executed deadly moves and killed a Flying Beast.

His cultivation base was naturally high, making him more likely to attract Flying Beasts, and now that he had killed one, it further fueled the rage of the Flying Beasts,

These Flying Beasts were sentient, with a level of intelligence and emotional quotient comparable to humans. Seeing the Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable had killed one of their own, they immediately all pounced toward him.

Nine Flying Beasts attacking together, even the Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable could not cope, despite having two avatars for protection.

Just then, his bunch of underlings, having more than half dead or injured, the rest were too frightened to engage with the Flying Beasts and had already scattered, fleeing far away.

The Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable saw his group of underlings had abandoned him and fled, and with nine Flying Beasts attacking from all sides, he simply couldn't escape,

A trace of panic and fear flitted across his face, decisively pulling out a Jade Talisman from his Storage Ring.

With a stern expression, he snapped it crisply, and the broken Jade Talisman turned into three circular waves, one layered over another.

Boom!

As the nine flying beasts charged forward, three circular ripples suddenly spread out, enveloping the nine flying beasts.

Then...

A miraculous scene occurred.

The nine plummeting flying beasts, once enshrouded by the circular ripples, seemed as if they were subjected to the Body Immobilization Technique, unable to move at all.

From a distance, Zhao Feiyan, standing on a Patterned Beast, pointed at the circular ripples that held the nine flying beasts and exclaimed, "Three-Breath Immobilizing Talisman!"

Wang Xiaoqiang, however, was not surprised because he had no time for surprise. Surrounding and potentially eliminating the Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable presented a great opportunity; he had already pulled out his Sun-Shooting Bow, aiming at the formidable adversary who possessed the Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable.

After using the Three-Breath Immobilizing Talisman to freeze the nine flying beasts, the powerful Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable frantically flew out of the encirclement, attempting to flee.

Whoosh!

A Gang Qi Arrow, accompanied by lightning, shot forward, piercing the back of the Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable.

Humph!

The Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable grunted, his body jerking slightly.

Then, his face showed a look of pain. The arrow that entered his body was not an ordinary arrow, but a force stronger than Spiritual Power, along with an electric current. The electricity numbed his body and churned his Qi and blood, nearly causing him to spit out a mouthful of fresh blood.

He forcibly resisted, circulated the Spiritual Power in his body, and pushed the Gang Qi Arrow out of his body. Then, he swiftly turned his head to look toward the source of the arrow.

In the distant sky, he saw a man and a woman he was pursuing, standing on a Pet Beast. The man held a bow and arrow, and he was making a gesture as if drawing the bow and shooting an arrow.

Seeing that it was Wang Xiaoqiang who ambushed him, rage surged in the eyes of the Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable. He was both shocked and furious, wishing he could immediately rush over and tear Wang Xiaoqiang to pieces.

But in that moment of delay, the nine flying beasts had regained their freedom and charged at him again.

It turned out that the Three-Breath Immobilizing Talisman could freeze Cultivators or beasts for the duration of three breaths.

After three breaths, the talisman would become ineffective.

The Three-Breath Immobilizing Talisman was very effective but also precious. Ordinary Cultivators could not obtain it at all; only major Sects had them, and they were given to elite disciples on important missions. This talisman was used for life-saving purposes during critical moments.

Three breaths, merely three brief breaths.

After releasing the Three-Breath Immobilizing Talisman and freezing the target, the Cultivator must escape within three breaths; otherwise, they would fall back into danger and ultimately face certain death.

The powerful Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable could have escaped using the only Three-Breath Immobilizing Talisman he had on him, but because of Wang Xiaoqiang's intervention, he hesitated for a moment, and seeing the nine flying beasts regain their freedom, he broke out in a cold sweat.

With a thought, two Avatars blocked the group of flying beasts, and he was about to make a hasty retreat.

Unexpectedly, Wang Xiaoqiang shot another arrow.

This arrow, another Gang Qi Arrow, also carried a streak of lightning.

Whoosh!

The sound of tearing through the air rang out as the arrow sped towards the Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable.

When the Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable heard the tearing sound, he immediately realized the arrow was coming. A flash in his eyes, a wave of his right hand, Gang Qi enveloped the area.

With a bang, he knocked the arrow to the ground.

In knocking down the arrow, his body also shuddered violently, and the hand that struck the arrow was numbed by the electricity from the arrow.

In that moment of delay, seven flying beasts charged at him.

These flying beasts were highly intelligent. They knew which were Avatars and which was the original.

The strength of the Avatars, although not too inferior to the original, differed in their inner Dantian. The Spiritual Power in the Dantian of an Avatar was not pure, like rootless wood or sourceless water; compared to the original's Dantian, it was vastly inferior.

Thus, these flying beasts were uninterested in the two Avatars; they only sought the original.

At this time, they cooperated in their tasks: two flying beasts engaged the two Avatars,

while the other seven dealt with the original.

The original, who initially wanted to flee, was blocked by another arrow from Wang Xiaoqiang, missing the opportunity to dodge. At this moment, he wished he could flay Wang Xiaoqiang's skin and eat his flesh, but what he really wanted to do was to escape.

However, it was already too late,

as the seven flying beasts pounced on him from three different directions.

The original of an Immortal Venerable Realm Cultivator was not much stronger than a True Immortal Realm Cultivator; their biggest advantage lay in their Avatars.

Condensing an Avatar was the goal of advancing Immortal Venerable Realm Cultivators.

Avatars represented the strength and capital of Immortal Venerable Realm Cultivators.

It was just unfortunate that the two Avatars were entangled by two flying beasts.

Now the original was again in a dangerous situation. The Twofold Body of the Immortal Venerable also felt a wave of despair.

The flying beasts surrounding him were very powerful, likely above the Third Level of Spirit Beasts.

He struggled to extricate himself, but it seemed extremely difficult. From the looks of it, even if he could shed a layer of skin, he would not be able to break free. (To be continued.
