Seeing Wang Xiaoqiang speak like this, Zhao Feiyan felt both joy and shyness, she gave Wang Xiaoqiang a white look and retorted, "Tsk, running your mouth again, aren't you?"

Wang Xiaoqiang chuckled and said, "I'm telling the truth, do you want to force me to lie?"

At his words, Zhao Feiyan paused slightly, then gave Wang Xiaoqiang another white look, and then looked up at the team ahead, saying, "Ahh, have they stopped to rest?"

When Wang Xiaoqiang looked up, he indeed saw the team in front had stopped. Dozens of people sat in a circle, resting, eating their rations, drinking water... and some were even glancing their way.

Seeing the team stop for a rest, Wang Xiaoqiang took the opportunity to cultivate, so he decisively sat cross-legged on the ground and solemnly instructed, "Feiyan, protect me. I need to use the pill to break through..."

"Mm, focus on your cultivation. I will protect you well!" Zhao Feiyan said earnestly.

Wang Xiaoqiang nodded, moved by willpower, and took out the Divine Power Pill that Huan Qingyi had given him from the Sumeru Ring. Opening the box, he saw only two Divine Power Pills left.

Without hesitation, Wang Xiaoqiang took out a Divine Power Pill and swallowed it.

The streams of medicinal power spread out, hot like alcohol, traveling through the meridians around his body, nourishing his flesh and blood.

The entire body's blood, after combining with the medicinal power of the Divine Power Pill, seemed to ignite, boiling and roiling in the veins like fierce beasts, continuously striking the walls of his blood vessels, causing Wang Xiaoqiang's heart to beat violently,

Thump! Thump! Thump! Thump...

Dizziness and darkness engulfed his vision. Veins on his face bulged, giving him a somewhat ferocious and terrifying appearance.

It felt as though his heart was about to stop.

A panic rose in his chest.

In his panic, a thought suddenly flashed through Wang Xiaoqiang's mind. Right, Earth Element Spiritual Qi, I almost forgot to stabilize my heart with Earth Element Spiritual Qi!

With that thought, Wang Xiaoqiang immediately drew Earth Element Spiritual Qi from the Five Elements Spiritual Spring, channeling it into his heart.

After the Earth Element Spiritual Qi entered his heart, the wildly beating heart quickly stabilized.

With his heart stable, Wang Xiaoqiang felt reassured.

Now, with his orderly breathing technique, his body's blood, after flowing rapidly, gradually began to coalesce as if sand had been infused into water, becoming stable, thick, smooth yet forceful.

Each circulation of blood through his body brought forth a surge of strength that emanated from the blood, filling his entire body with power...

After the blood had circulated thirty times, there was a loud booming sound, and a vigorous force burst forth from the blood, transforming into a bloodline.

Then, the bulging veins on his face visibly receded, and the flow rate of the blood inside his body returned to normal.

Wang Xiaoqiang stared at the bloodline before him, moved by willpower, and called out the other two bloodlines as well.

The other two bloodlines emerged from his body, and along with the new one, the three bloodlines aligned, wrapping around his body and rapidly spinning like three red worms.

The Third Layer of the Blood Realm, breakthrough declared!

The last thing one wanted during cultivation was to be disturbed, as it could lead to qi deviation.

Therefore, while Wang Xiaoqiang was making his breakthrough to the Blood Realm, Zhao Feiyan continuously scanned their surroundings, remaining alert, worried that someone might come and disturb Wang Xiaoqiang. That's why she hadn't been watching him,

When Wang Xiaoqiang stood up after the breakthrough, she turned her beautiful eyes toward him and saw three bloodlines continuously following Wang Xiaoqiang, wrapping around his body and spinning endlessly, appearing incredibly beautiful and mystical.

"Ahh? Xiaoqiang, you, you are a Body Refining Master, and at the Third Layer of the Blood Realm?!" Zhao Feiyan expressed surprise upon seeing the three bloodlines swirling around Wang Xiaoqiang.

"That's right, I've now reached the Third Layer of the Blood Realm as a Body Refining Master!"

As Wang Xiaoqiang spoke, he felt his body's strength had doubled compared to before, filling him with confidence. Additionally, a surge of power continuously roamed inside him, seeking release.

Just then, a commotion arose ahead, a mix of human screams and the roars of beasts, creating a chaos,

The two of them looked up in shock to see the team in front being attacked by three gargantuan creatures.

The bodies of these three Spirit Beasts were incredibly large, each one as tall as a two-story building.

Moreover, atop each Spirit Beast's head, there was a large horn about two meters long.

These horns were both long and sharp.

At that moment, the three Spirit Beasts were using their horns to attack the crowd.

Dozens of cultivators, faced with the charge of the three large Spirit Beasts, scattered in disarray, dodging while retaliating with Magic Treasure Immortal Swords.

"Ah, they seem like unicorns!" Zhao Feiyan exclaimed as she looked at the three massive creatures.

"Let's go help them!" Wang Xiaoqiang said decisively.

"Hmm!" Zhao Feiyan nodded emphatically, and then the two of them flew over together.

Upon arrival, they realized that although it was only an attack by three Spirit Beasts, the casualties were heavy. In just a short moment, six people had fallen dead and one cultivator's body had been pierced through by the unicorn's long horn, torn into a gaping hole with blood all over the ground, while the other five cultivators had been trampled into mush.

Unicorns, being Third-Level Spirit Beasts, were extremely powerful; further, their thick skins and tough flesh were such that even Magic Treasure Immortal Swords could not penetrate them. More fearsome still was their immense strength,

After all, consider a creature as tall as a two-story building—how could it not be incredibly strong!

"Roar!"

Just then, one of the unicorns displayed its power again, disregarding the Magic Treasure Immortal Swords, and bulldozed through the cultivators.

Wang Xiaoqiang, taking to the sky, yelled to alert everyone, "Everyone scatter quickly!"

Hearing his voice, the cultivators spread out and ascended into the sky.

Only the leader did not take flight, resisting alone.

While resisting, the leader looked up at everyone flying up and shouted sternly, "How dare you! Who permitted you to manipulate the sky!"

Wang Xiaoqiang retorted, "If we don't take to the sky, should we just wait on the ground to die?"

"Flying up can attract attacks from Flying Beasts, and then there will be no escape!" the leader said gravely.

Wang Xiaoqiang replied, "You are right, but your thinking is too old-fashioned, only knowing textbook strategies without understanding how to adapt flexibly. Quick, fly up..."

Wang Xiaoqiang was still speaking when he saw the three unicorns charge at the leader who was unwilling to ascend.

The leader, a Ninth Stage True Immortal Realm, saw the three unicorns charging at him in a triangular formation but still stood resolute, unwilling to break his own rule.

Just during a rest earlier, he had announced a rule intending to avoid attracting a large number of Flying Beasts, which was that under no circumstances should anyone take to the sky.

As a leader, he acted as a model.

Therefore, he refused to fly.

Seeing the three massive creatures charge at him, he did not hesitate to expend True Yuan, releasing all his Gang Qi in a burst, creating a powerful wave of Gang Qi around his body that surged outward from him with a boom.

Boom!

The wave of Gang Qi halted the unicorns momentarily.

"You have one last chance, fly up now!" Wang Xiaoqiang yelled, reminding him.

The leader was not ordinarily stubborn; he still did not fly up, choosing instead to desperately hold out.

Seeing this, Wang Xiaoqiang took out the Sun-Shooting Bow and aiming at one unicorn's eye, released an arrow.

Whoosh!

The sound of ripping through the air surged as the Gang Qi arrow struck the unicorn in the eye, bringing forth a burst of blood.

"Ow!"

Under the pain, the unicorn backed away a step, but the anguished cry of its kin spurred the other two unicorns into a frenzy. Without waiting for Wang Xiaoqiang to shoot a second arrow, both unicorns burst through the wave of Gang Qi and then thrust their two-meter-long sharp horns at the leader..(To be continued.
