Sovereign to Immortality

Chapter 28 – The First Battle

Without saying a word, Yang Junshan wrapped the little tiger cub in his bosom and swept his gaze over the two enormous beast corpses on the ground. When discussing the fur and bones of the two beasts, it was undoubtedly better to sit on a mountain tiger for a bit.

However, Yang Junshan held onto the cold light dagger and turned to walk towards the Treadmill bear, although the skin of the mountain tiger was valuable, it was not easy to peel off, and all he had to do was cut off four of the bear paws.

Even so, just as Yang Junshan had chopped off the third bear claw, the dozen or so youths who had rushed into the col already discovered the two enormous beast corpses and Yang Junshan’s actions.

“Stop!”

“These two berserk beasts are ours!”

Not caring about the shock the two large beast corpses in front of them gave them, the youths could not contain their anger at Yang Junshan’s actions as they charged towards him while shouting curses.

The youth who was rushing in front did not say a word, but stared at Yang Junshan with eyes that seemed to be spitting out two streams of anger, It was Zhang Yueming.

After putting the third bear paw into a waist pouch, Yang Junshan immediately tied the waist pouch that was several kilograms in weight onto his back and turned around to escape, leaving behind only a bear paw which he did not even look at. As for the mountain tiger’s corpse, Yang Junshan did not know how to dispose of it in front of Xiao Hu’s face, so he just left it for Zhang Yueming and the rest.

“Run where!”

Zhang Yueming suddenly leapt high into the air, and with a swing of his right hand, a long vine suddenly sprung out from the center of his palm.

Although Yang Junshan was running frantically with his back facing Zhang Yueming, it was as if the vine snake had already known about this. It suddenly bent down and rolled towards the grass beside it, causing the long vine to roll in the air.

Zhang Yueming had not landed on the ground yet, but Yang Junshan, who was rolling in the grass, was already on one knee.

“Bam, whoosh!”

The bowstring trembled, and an iron arrow shot straight towards Zhang Yueming’s leg. However, Yang Junshan did not even bother to look at the result of the arrow, and continued to run deeper into the forest behind him.

Zhang Yueming was in the air, seemingly unable to dodge the arrow. However, before the iron arrow had reached him, Zhang Yueming had already pulled out the sword at his waist and pointed it forward, accurately aiming at the arrow, causing a metal clanging sound. The iron arrow flew out, and Zhang Yueming himself was pushed back by the force of the arrow, the pain coming from his right hand that was holding the sword.

Yang Junshan knew that the arrow just now was unable to hurt Zhang Yueming, and was only trying to stop him, but he did not expect Zhang Yueming to not use any external force, and instead used his own strength to send his arrow flying, causing Yang Junshan’s evaluation of Zhang Yueming to rise another level.

At this time, Yang Junshan was only a few tens of meters away from the jungle, and he could see that Yang Junshan only needed to flee into the jungle to use the trees as cover to shake off the youths behind him. A stern howl came from behind, and at the same time, a jade green light rose from his back, pulling Yang Junshan’s figure out of the ground for more than three meters.

This is a flying sword with magical runes!

Yang Junshan thought that something was wrong. He did not care about escaping towards the forest, when he turned around, the bright green light had almost covered his entire field of vision.

Yang Junshan resisted the piercing light, and swiped his right hand across the quiver behind him. A scarlet iron arrow covered with runes was already nocked on the bowstring, all of the pent-up earth spirit energy stored in his body rushed up the arrow. The thumb ring on his hand also flickered with a faint light, and the scarlet arrow already ignited with a light.

As the bowstring vibrated, a streak of scarlet light streaked across the sky, smashing head first into the emerald green light. As the bowstring vibrated, a streak of scarlet light streaked across the sky, smashing head first into the emerald green light.

Although the flying sword talisman had been weakened greatly by his explosive arrow, it still continued to fly towards Yang Junshan. Yang Junshan could not care less about the blinding light, his eyes staring straight at the green light.

The cold light dagger in Yang Junshan’s hand only left the copper hilt, and fresh blood dripped out of the tiger’s mouth. However, the weak jade light directly smashed into Yang Junshan’s chest.

Clang!

As though he had received a heavy blow, Yang Junshan was thrown backwards several meters before he tumbled to the ground, and just as he was about to leap up, the sharp pain coming from his chest made his face turn deathly pale.

As the emerald green light dissipated, a two feet long green wooden sword fell into Zhang Yueming’s hands. Looking at Yang Junshan who was half-lying on the ground, although he looked to be in a sorry state, he still looked calm and collected. Zhang Yueming could not help but be shocked, but in his heart, he was more shocked than the expression on his face!

He was actually able to usundred refined dagger to chop at the green light glyph arrow’s body!

This was different from the Iron Feather Arrow that Zhang Yueming had sent flying before, regardless of whether it was power or speed, the Jade Light Talisman Arrow was not something that an ordinary Iron Feather Arrow could compare with.

“I originally didn’t want to kill you, but once this Glowing Glyph Sword is activated, even I can’t control it. As long as you hand over the paw and gall of a bear, I’ll let you go, okay?”

Even though Zhang Yueming was still confident that he could take the upper hand, and had the Heaven-Shaken Sect as his backup, he was not a domineering person. Not to mention that if the two continued to fight, it would only be a life and death struggle, and killing people was still something thawelve year old boy would not be willing to easily do.

The moment he rushed over, Zhang Yueming had already clearly seen the situation in the col. It was obvious that the other party had not completely dissected the corpses of the two fierce beasts, causing Zhang Yueming to heave a sigh of relief. However, the large wound on the chest of the Treadmill bear and the three severed paws of the bear, all of it showed that Yang Junshan had already taken more than half of the last valuable things on the Treadmill bear.

The clothes on Yang Junshan’s chest had already been torn apart, revealing the heartguard mirror underneath. There was an additional half-inch dent in the fist imprint that was originally on the mirror.

“Hehe!” Yang Junshan laughed coldly, and unexpectedly, the wound on his chest caused him to cough severely, but he still unsteadily stood up from the ground and looked at the youths rushing over from behind Zhang Yueming.

“You want bear paws and bear gall, come and snatch them!”

It was true that Zhang Yueming was strong, but the strength that Yang Junshan displayed previously had shocked all of the youths present. Even though he was able to block the Glowing Jade Sword Glyph, Yang Junshan’s strength was obviously not on their backs, not to mention that the large carved bow in his hand had attracted the attention of many people on the plaza previously. As a father of the Village Head who knew that there was a martial arts realm behind him, he was naturally even more unwilling to offend him.

Seeing that the group was anxious, Zhang Yueming was also not willing to form a death feud with Yang Junshan, so he sincerely said: “That Mountain Lord was me who injured him, and was originally stronger than the Treadmill bear, and now that the two fierce beasts have suffered the most in battle, but the final blow obviously belongs to this brother of mine, let’s do it this way, the essence of the two fierce beasts will be divided evenly, and this brother shall have a bear palm as the host.”

To be fair, Yang Junshan had taken advantage of Zhang Yueming and the others, if they were to split it evenly, it would be reasonable for Yang Junshan to get a bear paw from them, and this was not including the fact that the other youths did not know that Su Baozhang, who led them astray, was originally in cahoots with Yang Junshan.

But how could Yang Junshan be willing to split the rewards in his hands, not to mention the fact that Zhang Yueming’s attack just now had almost killed him, let alone the fact that his bag had two spiritual essences and the high grade spirit beast gallbladder.

As they spoke, Zhang Yueming indicated for the youths behind them to spread out slowly, as though they were about to surround Yang Junshan.

How could Zhang Yueming’s actions hide from Yang Junshan’s eyes? He saw Yang Junshan’s gaze flicker witidiculing smile, and suddenly felt that he had overlooked something. He suddenly shouted loudly, and said: “Go, stop him!”

With that, a jade pendant at his waist suddenly exploded into pieces. A ball of spirit light was casually grabbed by Zhang Yueming and then pressed onto the handle of the jade sword that was in its sheath.

However, Zhang Yueming was a step too late. In the instant before he made his move, Yang Junshan had already shot an arrow towards the tallest tree in the forest. An extremely thin string was tied to the end of the arrow and the other end was tied to the bow arm.

Then, with the tall tree as a fulcrum, he once again dove deeper into the forest like a swing. At this time, the leading line of the retracting arrow was suddenly cut, and Yang Junshan’s figure immediately rolled into the depths of the forest, disappearing withourace, while the green light talisman arrow smashed into the dense forest behind Yang Junshan, cutting down four to five large trees that were as thick as bowls along the way. Only then did Yang Junshan exhaust his spirit energy.

He actually let this fellow escape!

This made Zhang Yueming think of the Su Baozhang who was forced to the cliff by them. Could these two be in the same group?

“Brother Lin, should we still chase him?” A youth asked cautiously.

“I’m not going to chase them anymore. In any case, Immortal Xiong once said that it’s impossible for immortal spirits to be born in the bodies of these two Vicious Beasts. Let’s deal with the corpses of these two first!” Zhang Yueming looked in the direction Yang Junshan left, and in his heart he had a premonition, that this was not the first time they were fighting!
