Chapter 1946: Chapter 1944: Black Sky Cat Clan
Subduing the Flying Sky Leopard Clan as spiritual beast mounts for transportation, Ye Tianchen made a very wise decision. Riding on the Flying Sky Leopard, he looked around and realized that the "Barbaric Forbidden Land" was vast beyond sight. Even with the Flying Sky Leopard’s already fast speed, it still took five thousand miles just to reach another demon beast clan guarding the edge of the forbidden zone. Truly boundless, one wonders what size of space this formation has accommodated. Could it really be larger than all three Ancient Martial Worlds combined?
Without even entering the Barbaric Forbidden Land, Ye Tianchen was already full of questions. The powerful demon beast clan guarding the edge of the forbidden zone for generations left Ye Tianchen puzzled, profoundly puzzled; an unimaginably perplexing situation. Why would such circumstances arise?
"Could it be that those generations of guardians at the edge of the Barbaric Forbidden Land are all annihilated? Who suppresses them so heavily, leaving them almost powerless to resist?" Ye Tianchen pondered in his heart.
It was due to this doubt that the Flying Little Leopard, a troublemaker, unabashedly spoke tough words while its body remained honest, never venturing into the Barbaric Forbidden Land itself. Instead, it flew along the margins. However, Ye Tianchen mocked the Flying Sky Leopard a few times but did not prevent it from doing so because Ye Tianchen also wanted to see what other demon clans were guarding the edge of the forbidden zone.
Sure enough, the Flying Little Leopard did not completely lie. It carried Ye Tianchen and in one breath flew out of the range of five thousand miles, exiting the area guarded by the Flying Sky Leopard Clan, and encountered a black-clad teenager around ten years of age who attacked. The teenager claimed to be a member of the "Black Sky Cat Clan."
"Who are you to dare trespass the Barbaric Forbidden Land? Tired of living!" Although the black-clad teenager was young, his temper was indeed not small, and his aura was overwhelmingly strong.
"Ha-ha, brother, we are not trespassing into the Barbaric Forbidden Land. I am from the Flying Sky Leopard Clan, also guardians of the Barbaric Forbidden Land’s edge, considered members of the same post. This time, I came with some things to inquire about!" The Flying Little Leopard chuckled and said.
Swoosh!
A sword light directly slashed at the Flying Little Leopard. The Flying Little Leopard paused, furrowed its brow, and despite explaining that they were not trespassing the forbidden land, the youth was exceedingly unreasonable, launching another surprise attack. If not for the Flying Sky Leopard’s quick response, it might indeed have been struck down by the sword Qi!
"Kid, we’re truly not here to cause trouble, but have some matters to inquire about!" Ye Tianchen smiled and said.
"Humph, trespassing the Barbaric Forbidden Land, stepping into our Black Sky Cat Clan’s territory is a capital offense!" The black-clad youth was very aggressive and attacked without the slightest hesitation.
Ye Tianchen was about to make a move, when the Flying Little Leopard turned its head with a grin, saying, "Boss, let me handle this. It’s too arrogant! Didn’t even acknowledge the Flying Sky Leopard Clan, both guarding this forbidden edge. I can’t let this go!"
"Mm, make it quick. Our time is quite precious. Don’t kill him, after all, we’re not here for a massacre!" Ye Tianchen nodded and said.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Clang! Clang! Clang!
The Flying Sky Leopard quickly engaged in battle with the black-clad youth. Both were formidable; the youth wielded a black longsword treasure while the Flying Sky Leopard employed its square iron seal treasure, continuously clashing in the air.
"This black-clad youth looks younger than the Flying Sky Leopard, yet has already reached the Late Martial Venerate cultivation realm. Indeed, he’s strong. However, it seems I won’t need to intervene. Although the Flying Little Leopard’s personality is somewhat troublesome, it is undeniably powerful and should defeat the black-clad youth from the Black Sky Cat Clan!" Ye Tianchen thought as he watched the battle in the sky.
Sure enough, the black-clad youth from the Black Sky Cat Clan, though strong, was gradually suppressed by the Flying Little Leopard. Mainly the youth’s cultivation realm was a notch inferior to the Flying Little Leopard’s, plus its speed was not as fast, making speed and strength equally crucial in battle.
Boom!
The black-clad youth from the Black Sky Cat Clan was knocked away, and the black longsword he held was dropped. As he tried to make another move, the Flying Sky Leopard immediately unleashed a sealing rune power from the iron seal treasure, binding the youth from the Black Sky Cat Clan. No matter how he struggled, it was all in vain!
"Hehe, dare compete with me, unaware of the Flying Little Leopard’s prowess? A slap in the face!" The Flying Little Leopard flew to the bound youth and slapped its face laughingly.
Roar!
With an angry roar, the black-clad youth suddenly transformed into a giant black cat, as large as half a hill. The sight stunned the Flying Sky Leopard; among beast species, the most primal power struggles are based on size, prompting such an instinctual reaction from the Flying Sky Leopard.
"Tsk, still trying to scare me while bound? Your cultivation realm is inferior to mine, hence my imprisonment talisman can’t be overturned by you. Listen well, or I’ll skin you; the weather’s turning cold, and I don’t want to catch a cold!" The Flying Little Leopard shamelessly said.
"A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated, I absolutely won’t tell you anything!" The young man from the Black Sky Cat Clan said fiercely.
"Oh, so you can speak, huh? I thought you were mute!" The Flying Little Leopard used Ye Tianchen’s words to insult this young man from the Black Sky Cat Clan.
"You barged into the Barbaric Forbidden Land. Even if you reached this edge, you still won’t survive!" The young man from the Black Sky Cat Clan gritted his teeth and shouted.
Bang!
The Flying Little Leopard was also a tough character; it immediately slapped the head of the Black Sky Cat and said fiercely, "Let me tell you again, I am from the Flying Sky Leopard Clan, just like your Black Sky Cat Clan, both guardian species of the Barbaric Forbidden Land edge. Don’t think you’re so high and mighty!"
"Impossible, the guardian species of the Barbaric Forbidden Land edge don’t interact with each other!" The young man from the Black Sky Cat Clan said incredulously.
"Little friend, we really are from the Flying Sky Leopard Clan, we just want to learn some stuff." Ye Tianchen flew over, smiling as he said.
"You? Human Clan Practitioner? How did you get in? And you say you’re not barging into the Barbaric Forbidden Land?" The young man from the Black Sky Cat Clan shouted excitedly when he saw Ye Tianchen.
The Flying Little Leopard glanced at the young man from the Black Sky Cat Clan, then at Ye Tianchen, and sighed, saying, "This little guy is too young, too excited; we probably won’t get anything out of him, better just finish him off!"
Upon hearing he might get finished off, the young man from the Black Sky Cat Clan was stunned for a moment but quickly regained his rebellious demeanor, which made Ye Tianchen pause; this young man from the Black Sky Cat Clan truly had a proud spirit.
Bang!
Unexpectedly, just when the young man from the Black Sky Cat Clan thought he was really going to be finished off, Ye Tianchen punched the Flying Little Leopard’s head and said, annoyed, "Both your species are guardian species of the Barbaric Forbidden Land edge. In the end, you share the same destiny, let’s go, and check elsewhere!"
"Ah, many guardian demon clans of the Barbaric Forbidden Land edge think this is a glorious matter. They don’t realize it’s a tragic destiny where their clan is eternally imprisoned and enslaved. The most tragic in this world is the absence of freedom!" The Flying Little Leopard shook its head, feeling somewhat saddened, followed Ye Tianchen, preparing to leave!
At this moment, the young man from the Black Sky Cat Clan, who was trapped by the Sealing Rune, transformed into human form again. As Ye Tianchen and the Flying Little Leopard prepared to leave, he spoke, "You...wait a moment!"
"Do you have anything else?" Ye Tianchen turned around, smiling at the young man from the Black Sky Cat Clan.
"I want to talk with you!" The young man from the Black Sky Cat Clan hesitated before speaking.
Ye Tianchen nodded, then signaled the Flying Little Leopard to release the Sealing Rune imprisoning the young man from the Black Sky Cat Clan. The Flying Little Leopard hesitated a moment before acting, almost ready to take another punch from Ye Tianchen!
After the young man from the Black Sky Cat Clan was released from the Sealing Rune, he sighed, saying, "Your unwillingness to kill me shows you were telling the truth. But now, only I am left to guard the Black Sky Cat Clan; I must protect this place!"
"You’re the only one left guarding? What about the other members of your Black Sky Cat Clan?" The Flying Little Leopard asked in surprise.
"The Black Sky Cat Clan has passed to my generation, except for my grandfather, there is no one else. However, two years ago, my grandfather left this place, telling me to always guard it; prevent anyone from entering the Barbaric Forbidden Land, or else the Black Sky Cat Clan will be completely exterminated!" The young man from the Black Sky Cat Clan said worriedly.
Seeing Ye Tianchen’s puzzled look, the Flying Little Leopard nodded and said, "That’s indeed the case. It’s rumored that the guardian species of the Barbaric Forbidden Land edge, if unable to fulfill their duty, face the danger of extermination!"
"Actually, I already guessed; your Black Sky Cat Clan should have only you left!" Ye Tianchen said with a smile.
"You...how did you know?" The young man from the Black Sky Cat Clan asked in surprise.
"Simple, if your clan had any strong power sitting in, they wouldn’t fail to come out and save you!" Ye Tianchen said. (To be continued.
