Beast Taming: Sharing Pets' Abilities-Chapter 353 - 352: Uninvited Guest!

On the way there, Gu Yuan had traveled aboard Medicine King Mountain’s empty dragon boat, but this time he was returning alone.

However, Gu Yuan’s cultivation and strength could hardly be compared to before.

Thus, passing through this stretch of the Yunmeng Mountain Range might be quite dangerous for others, but for Gu Yuan, it was no big deal as long as he paid a little attention.

Of course, though he was powerful and confident, Gu Yuan wasn’t reckless; he remained very steady and cautious.

For instance, at present, the sword light Gu Yuan was maneuvering was very faint, almost undetectable, and did not reveal the slightest hint of aura. Even if he flew right past other cultivators, few would notice him.

Then there was Gu Yuan’s speed,

Previously, Gu Yuan’s sword escape speed was not inferior to those of Golden Core Great Cultivators.

Now, having sacrificed and trained his lifebound flying sword, the Primordial Jade Scenery Sword, his speed had increased significantly! 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

Coupled with the top-grade divine ability, Eternal Spirit Escape, in these circumstances, his speed was so strong that, in Gu Yuan’s understanding, few could match it except perhaps Yin God giants like Deadwood True Luo.

Even the Golden-winged Roc he’d encountered in the Red Dragon Small World might have a speed slightly superior to Gu Yuan’s, but if Gu Yuan went all out, he could certainly close that gap.

It must be known, that was the bloodline descendant of the Golden-winged Roc, renowned for its speed!

"Hmm?"

As he was flying, Gu Yuan sensed something amiss; not far ahead, there seemed to be an escape light flying forward.

This escape light was dark red, leaving behind a dazzling color, and even the void seemed to twist from the power contained within the escape light.

Moreover, the speed was astonishing, leaving Gu Yuan speechless, not knowing what to say.

Such speed was indeed quite fast—faster than he could hope to be himself.

This was strange. Gu Yuan had just been feeling a bit proud, quite smug about his speed, but now he ran into someone even faster.

"Something’s off!"

Gu Yuan suddenly realized something was wrong.

This seemed a bit too coincidental.

His divine thought swept over, sensing that the other party’s aura wasn’t particularly strong, at most at the level of a Golden Core Great Cultivator. Yet, somehow, Gu Yuan felt the other party was targeting him.

Because in the next moment, he distinctly saw that this dark red escape light suddenly turned and flew directly toward him.

The crucial point was that Gu Yuan vaguely sensed something wrong; his sword heart seemed to emit a buzz, as if warning him.

"Not good..."

Gu Yuan squinted his eyes, muttering aloud that it wasn’t good, but the crisis in his heart was growing increasingly intense.

By now, he was absolutely certain the other party was indeed coming for him.

So, without any hesitation, Gu Yuan fully activated the Eternal Spirit Escape. The initially almost undetectable escape light on the surface now had an additional thin layer of gold-red light.

Swish, swish, swish!

Then, the speed of the escape light that Gu Yuan had transformed into suddenly soared by a large margin.

Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, it was naturally best to run away quickly.

Only a fool would stay in the same place.

He knew nothing about the current situation, but it was undeniable that the person coming wasn’t friendly.

Furthermore, the oncoming aura was extremely dangerous, which could only mean one thing:

It clearly meant that the opponent had the power to threaten his life!

"Tsk tsk, truly no good intentions..."

While flying away, Gu Yuan kept an eye on what was behind him, noticing that as his speed increased, the escape light behind him also accelerated.

"Something’s wrong."

Gu Yuan furrowed his brow, a bit puzzled internally:

"Clearly not a Yin God giant, but rather the aura of a Golden Core Great Cultivator, yet why is this bastard’s speed so fast, three-tenths faster than mine, even giving me a sense of danger?"

"And this escape light also seems familiar, very similar to the people from Red Leaf Valley I encountered in the Red Dragon Small World. Could it be..."

Gu Yuan suddenly froze, recalling a certain suspicion. A slight change in his expression occurred, and then he unhesitatingly activated his True Qi fully, using his divine techniques to boost his speed even further.

He transformed into a golden-red escape light, disappearing without a trace in mid-air.

However, though Gu Yuan’s escape speed was fast, the dark red escape light behind him was faster by two-tenths.

Seeing the other party persistently in pursuit, Gu Yuan was now entirely sure of his suspicion!

"Damn it, isn’t it just because I killed some of your Red Leaf Valley disciples and two Golden Core Great Cultivators, and incidentally obtained the magical treasure Blazing Carp Shuttle? Is it worth all this?"

Observing the opponent’s relentless determination, Gu Yuan was somewhat helpless.

Indeed, according to Gu Yuan’s guess, the escape light behind him was undoubtedly from Red Leaf Valley!

After all, in the Red Dragon Small World, Gu Yuan had killed many of Red Leaf Valley’s inner and true disciple members.

Even more critically, he had killed two Golden Core Great Cultivators from Red Leaf Valley.

Not to mention, one of those Golden Core Great Cultivators possessed a magical treasure, the Blazing Carp Shuttle, which fell into Gu Yuan’s hands.

But the issue was that Red Leaf Valley was not a major Immortal Dao sect, not at the level of Medicine King Mountain, the Gu God Sect, or the Star River Sword Sect.

Red Leaf Valley had only a few Golden Core Great Cultivators, along with one Yin God giant ancestor presiding over it.

Moreover, that Yin God giant ancestor’s life span was nearing its end, soon to pass away in meditation.

But now, two of the few Golden Core Great Cultivators they had were dead at Gu Yuan’s hands, and Gu Yuan hadn’t spared most of their elite disciples. Even the magical treasure Blazing Carp Shuttle was in his possession.

Such a loss was equivalent to severing a substantial part of Red Leaf Valley’s foundation. Who wouldn’t be pained? Angry? Resentful?!

So, it was only natural that they would send someone for vengeance.

Gu Yuan couldn’t quite ascertain the opponent’s strength yet, so he decided to lead them on a chase while figuring out their true power.

Of course, if he could shake them off, that would certainly be ideal.

If he couldn’t, gathering more knowledge about their strength before taking action wouldn’t be too late.

He certainly couldn’t let the pursuit lead them to Beiliang County.

Gu Yuan was in a rush to escape, and the Golden Core Great Cultivator within the escape light behind him was equally pressing.

This person wore a fiery red long robe, looking like a middle-aged cultivator with flaming red eyebrows akin to burning fire, and even his pupils were as red as crimson jewels, gleaming with unsettling cold light.

Though he appeared relatively young, he exuded an indescribable aura of decay and age.

Also, his skin subtly had a wood-like quality, displaying a somewhat eerie aura,

At this moment, he looked ahead at Gu Yuan’s escape light with a dark, sullen face, his expression showing a visceral urge to devour and consume his enemy’s flesh and blood.
