Chapter 2078 - 2079: Northern Spiritual Energy Soaring to the Heavens

It was clear that the Lightning Bird had already noticed someone approaching it.

The Lightning Bird flew into the sky and disappeared among the clouds.

Ling Zhenfei's body was absorbing the Northern Spiritual Energy, and the inner pool in his body was quite large, not easily filled.

Ling Zhenfei found it very strange. Previously, he had also seen the light pillar during a cultivator's breakthrough at night, which only lasted for a short time before disappearing.

But his light pillar obviously lasted much longer, and Ling Zhenfei knew this moment was critical. Absorbing as much Northern Spiritual Energy as possible to fill his body would surely be crucial for future cultivation.

At this moment, everything felt so comfortable for Ling Zhenfei; every pore of his body was open, and Spiritual Energy was surging wildly into the pool within him.

Luckily, the Foreign Land Space was rich in Spiritual Energy; otherwise, it would be hard to say how long it would take to fill the body pool in the East.

At this time, three streams of Spiritual Energy approached from afar, quickly arriving in front of Ling Zhenfei.

Three people landed not far from Ling Zhenfei. They were somewhat shocked when they saw the light pillar over Ling Zhenfei's body.

"Big brother, what's going on with this person? Why is the light pillar lasting so long?"

Using the power of the soul, Ling Zhenfei glanced at the three people, each with the head of a tiger and a human body, reminiscent of scenes from Journey to the West.

The one called big brother said, "The longer the light pillar, the more Spiritual Energy absorbed, indicating this person is extraordinary."

Another person said, "Then what are we waiting for? Let's take him out while he can't move to prevent future troubles."

Among these three, the leader was a cultivator at the Pursue Heart State, while the other two were in the late Dawen Realm, all quite strong.

The three Hu touren each held a long knife. Suddenly, one of them, without hesitation, struck towards Ling Zhenfei.

This strike carried powerful Spiritual Energy aimed directly at Ling Zhenfei.

At this moment, Ling Zhenfei indeed couldn't move; he would have to forcibly stop the light pillar to do so.

Yet it was a crucial moment for Ling Zhenfei, and stopping it was impossible.

As the strike was about to land, a clap of thunder suddenly roared in the sky. Then, a black shadow descended, directly blocking the strike's Spiritual Energy.

The Lightning Bird appeared just in time, shielding Ling Zhenfei with its spread wings, covering him entirely.

The Hu touren's strike landed on the Lightning Bird but didn't make a sound despite the strong Spiritual Energy.

The three Hu touren were shocked, not expecting such an entity to appear suddenly.

The leader of the Hu touren said, "Let's all attack together. We must kill that cultivator!"

Before he finished speaking, the Lightning Bird suddenly swooped towards him.

They hadn't anticipated the Lightning Bird's speed. Without seeing its wings flap, it was already charging at them.

Lightning Bird moved swiftly, its long sharp beak aiming at the leader of the Hu touren.

With a beak long and hard as iron, being struck by it would be like being stabbed by a knife.

The Hu touren leader, at the Pursue Heart State, reacted quickly, swinging his knife toward the Lightning Bird.

Despite the apparent attack on the leader, the Lightning Bird's claws targeted the other two individuals.

These two, at the Dawen Realm, were weaker than the leader and had never seen such a fast attack.

Seeing the claws aiming at them, they instinctively used their knives to block.

The knife clashed with the Lightning Bird's strike, which then grabbed the knives and pulled tightly.

One of the youngsters didn't grip his knife tightly, and it ended up in the Lightning Bird's grasp.

At this time, the Hu touren leader struck towards the Lightning Bird, which easily evaded by slightly moving its wings.

It turned out the Lightning Bird could take flight with just a subtle wing movement.

In one round, the Lightning Bird successfully confiscated a weapon, leaving the three opponents helpless.

Emitting a piercing shriek, the Lightning Bird's screech was incredibly sharp, causing the three to frown at the harshness.

The two less competent cultivators even felt pain, instinctively wanting to cover their ears.

At this moment, the Lightning Bird attacked again, launching the knife from its claw towards the youngster.

The knife sped toward him, and simultaneously, the Lightning Bird moved again.

The Hu touren leader noticed and attempted to intercept the knife's path.

But as the Lightning Bird darted, it appeared behind the youngster, striking at him with its beak.

The youngster, at the Dawen Realm, felt disoriented by the shrill attack, barely recovering before seeing the knife flying towards him.

While the Hu touren leader blocked the front, the Lightning Bird appeared behind him.

Left to defend himself, he hastily punched backward.

The punch carried considerable strength.

However, it collided with the Lightning Bird's beak.

The sharp beak struck the fist.

The punch, imbued with significant Spiritual Energy, was pierced by the Lightning Bird's beak, which then pecked the hand.

"Ah!"

The youngster screamed, his arm utterly ruined.

The Lightning Bird wasn't finished with him yet, striking again to send him flying.

Ling Zhenfei was astonished at the Lightning Bird's prowess. Even against three cultivators, it had not faltered, injuring one severely in two exchanges.

With just one cultivator, the Lightning Bird would dispatch them in seconds.

The two remaining Hu touren were shocked but enraged, charging at the Lightning Bird.

In the air, two streams of Spiritual Energy slashed toward the Lightning Bird.

The Lightning Bird showed no fear, though mindful of protecting Ling Zhenfei. As they charged, it spread its wings, blocking the attacks.

Then, with a flap of its wings, it conjured two tornadoes, rushing towards them.
