Chapter 12 Me? I’ll just catch one!

“No good!”

The middle-aged man riding the Divine Swift Black Steed immediately changed his expression.

As Li Xuanfeng made his move, his aura was also released.

This aura was far stronger than his!

And he was only at the Spiritual Aperture Realm Fifth Level!

This person was quite decisive; knowing that a momentary lapse in judgment due to lust had caused him to provoke a tough opponent without gauging their strength, he reined in his horse and fled.

His mount was a second-tier Elementary Yao Beast, a Black Wind Horse, whose combat power was average but whose speed was extremely fast!

Even a Cultivator at the Spiritual Aperture Realm Ninth Level might not be able to catch up!

Swish! Swish!

Wei Qingyan killed two bandits with two sword strikes.

Most of the twenty-odd bandits were at the Body Tempering Realm.

Only three were at the Spirit Aperture Realm.

The man at the Spirit Aperture Realm Fifth Level had already reined in his horse and fled at the first opportunity, leaving the other two who were both at the Spirit Aperture Realm Second Level.

If they had encountered ordinary Spirit Aperture Realm Cultivators, they could have swarmed them and cut them into pieces.

Unfortunately, they encountered Li Xuanfeng and Wei Qingyan.

Not to mention Li Xuanfeng's overwhelming Realm, Wei Qingyan was also a super Genius; fighting above her Realm was commonplace for her!

“Run!”

Everything happened in an instant.

As soon as the two made their move and killed instantly, the bandits knew they had provoked tough opponents and scattered in all directions, fleeing in panic.

“They’re all yours!”

Li Xuanfeng left that sentence and used the Youlong Body Technique to chase after the bandit leader.

In a few breaths, Li Xuanfeng caught up to the middle-aged man who had almost vanished from sight.

The Black Wind Horse’s speed was indeed extremely fast; it wasn’t easy for Li Xuanfeng to catch up to it.

Whoosh!

The longsword shot through the air like an arrow.

The Dripping Water Pierces the Sky Sword, comparable to that of a founder!

Pfft!

The longsword pierced through his skull, and the bandit leader died without even letting out a scream.

His body fell, and the Black Wind Horse galloped away in terror.

Li Xuanfeng’s power was also operating at its peak, and the Youlong Body Technique was fully unleashed.

After three breaths, he finally caught up to the Black Wind Horse.

“Stop!”

He grabbed the reins, and his terrifying wrist strength forcibly made the Black Wind Horse stop.

But it didn't stop struggling, still trying to break free from the reins.

However, the reins were specially made; even tens of thousands of pounds of force couldn't break them.

Coupled with Li Xuanfeng's immense strength.

The Black Wind Horse’s struggles were completely useless.

“Either surrender obediently or die!”

Li Xuanfeng shouted.

The Black Wind Horse then quieted down.

It was only a second-tier Elementary Yao Beast; although famous for its speed, it was no match for the person in front of it.

Surrender to whomever, as long as it doesn't die!

After a moment of thought, Li Xuanfeng led the Black Wind Horse back to the previous location.

“Fairy, spare me!”

“Ah!”

A scream came, and the last bandit was mercilessly beheaded by Wei Qingyan.

“Senior Brother!”

When she saw Li Xuanfeng leading the Black Wind Horse, Wei Qingyan’s gloomy expression finally broke into a smile, and she hurried forward.

“Ding! Wei Qingyan experienced a group battle, gaining some combat experience and insights. Tenfold return, you have gained a large amount of combat experience and insights!”

The System prompt sounded at this moment, and Li Xuanfeng quickly digested these insights, deepening his understanding of combat.

“Do you know the Blood Talisman Contract?”

Li Xuanfeng asked.

“Yes.”

Wei Qingyan glanced at the Black Wind Horse and nodded.

The so-called Blood Talisman Contract is when a Cultivator uses a drop of fingertip blood to draw a blood talisman on the Yao Beast's forehead, applying a secret technique to achieve the effect of controlling the Yao Beast.

Li Xuanfeng knew this secret technique, but he couldn't perform it.

Wei Qingyan couldn't either originally, but the Sword Spirit could.

“Then this Black Wind Horse is for you!”

Li Xuanfeng handed the reins to Wei Qingyan.

There are three ways to tame a Yao Beast as a mount.

The first is like ordinary people taming wild horses.

The second is to use a secret technique for a Blood Talisman Contract; this is a method many Cultivators use, which allows them to control the Yao Beast and make it obedient.

The third is still a secret technique contract, but this method involves the Soul, and very few people know it.

Since Wei Qingyan knew the Blood Talisman Contract, controlling this Black Wind Horse would be simple.

“Huh?”

Wei Qingyan was visibly stunned for a moment.

“No, this is Senior Brother’s spoils of war!”

Wei Qingyan shook her head.

“Why so much nonsense!”

Li Xuanfeng directly grabbed her smooth, delicate jade hand and placed the reins in her hand.

“Then what about Senior Brother?”

Wei Qingyan was still a bit bewildered.

He just got a mount and is giving it away like that; doesn’t he want it for himself?

“Me?”

“I’ll just grab one casually!”

“I just happened to see a Yao Beast over there that’s suitable for taming as a mount!”

Li Xuanfeng said casually.

“You just stand here and don’t move, lest you get lost!”

“Quickly contract it; I’ll be right back!”

After speaking, without waiting for Wei Qingyan’s reaction, he used the Youlong Body Technique and quickly left the area.

In the blink of an eye, he disappeared into the forest.

“Huh?”

Wei Qingyan stared blankly at the spot where Li Xuanfeng had disappeared.

“Don’t just stand there, quickly contract it. The journey ahead will be easier!”

The Sword Spirit’s voice sounded at this moment.

“But Senior Brother went to…”

“Contract it first, then go help him!”

…Li Xuanfeng’s figure swiftly moved, leaving Wei Qingyan’s sight.

Saying he saw a Yao Beast suitable for taming as a mount was just an excuse.

He knew that by giving Wei Qingyan a mount, he would definitely receive a return!

Li Xuanfeng couldn't possibly not use the returned Yao Beast, and if he were to take out a mount from the System space in front of her, it would be troublesome to explain.

So, being out of her sight made the explanation much easier!

“Ding! Wei Qingyan obtained a second-tier Elementary Yao Beast, a Black Wind Horse. Hundredfold return, you have obtained a third-tier Elementary Yao Beast, a Divine Swift Black Steed!”

Sure enough, the System prompt sounded.

The next moment, Li Xuanfeng sensed a pitch-black, tall, majestic, and impressive black horse appearing out of thin air in his System space!

Third-tier Yao Beast—Divine Swift Black Steed!

Comparable to a Qi Circulation Realm Cultivator!

This meant that in terms of Realm alone, it was even higher than Li Xuanfeng!

Since the Black Wind Horse was directly gifted by Li Xuanfeng to Wei Qingyan, Li Xuanfeng's involvement was considered one hundred percent.

The System gave him a hundredfold return!

In terms of preciousness, the Divine Swift Black Steed was a hundred times more valuable than the Black Wind Horse!

“Ding! Wei Qingyan learned the Blood Talisman Contract. Tenfold return, you have learned and can skillfully use the Blood Talisman Contract!”

The System prompt sounded once again.

Li Xuanfeng's thought moved, and he took out the Divine Swift Black Steed from the System space.

The tall and majestic horse-shaped Yao Beast was three to four meters long, with flowing mane, looking mighty and imposing.

Its body was large, muscles bulging, appearing full of explosive power!

After appearing, it stood quietly beside Li Xuanfeng, neither attacking nor fleeing.

This was a Yao Beast returned by the System; it didn't need taming or contracting, and it would automatically consider Li Xuanfeng its master.

However, to test the Blood Talisman Contract.

Li Xuanfeng still forced out a drop of fresh blood from his fingertip and drew a special symbol on the Divine Swift Black Steed’s forehead.

After the secret technique was performed, Li Xuanfeng felt an even closer connection with the Divine Swift Black Steed.

As if there was some kind of telepathy.

If it got lost, Li Xuanfeng could sense its location within a certain range.

He patted the Divine Swift Black Steed’s iron-hard muscles and told it to wait in place.

Li Xuanfeng came near the bandit leader’s corpse, first retrieved his longsword, and then cleared the spoils of war.

There weren't many valuable things on the bandit leader, most of which didn't catch Li Xuanfeng’s Dharma Eye.

But there were two items of decent value.

A cyan longsword, which was a second-tier Spiritual Artifact, much more valuable than the longsword Li Xuanfeng held, which was only a first-tier Spiritual Artifact.

The other valuable item was a Medicinal Pill.

Li Xuanfeng was not unfamiliar with this Medicinal Pill; it was indeed a Barrier Breaking Pill!

“The harvest can only be said to be decent.”

“But if I give it to Wei Qingyan to get a return, I can make a huge profit!”

Li Xuanfeng thought to himself.

He had extra Barrier Breaking Pills before, but they had all been used.

Because items returned by the System cannot be given again to a bound target to get another return.

But this Barrier Breaking Pill was not a System return, so it could naturally be given to Wei Qingyan!

“Come here!”

After putting away the spoils, Li Xuanfeng called out to his mount.

The latter obediently walked to Li Xuanfeng’s side.

“Finally, I don’t have to walk anymore!”

Li Xuanfeng said with a smile.

Then, with a light leap, he mounted the broad back of the horse.

“Go!”

Li Xuanfeng gently patted the horse’s back.

The Divine Swift Black Steed’s four hooves began to move, its body tall and strong, yet it ran like the wind, easily surpassing Li Xuanfeng’s maximum speed!

After Wei Qingyan completed the Blood Talisman Contract, she was considering whether to listen to Li Xuanfeng and wait here, or go to help him.

But she suddenly sensed movement from ahead.

Only to see an exceptionally majestic and tall black horse appear in her vision.

One moment it was a hundred meters away, the next it was right before her eyes.

Wei Qingyan’s cherry lips parted slightly, staring blankly at the Divine Swift Black Steed, and Li Xuanfeng on its back.

Even the Sword Spirit in the Broken Sword was suddenly bewildered when it saw this scene.

This… this is what you meant by ‘just grab one casually’?!
