Chapter 0595: Mystic-Spined Frenzied Panther

Inside the Immortal Armory Mirage, Qin Yun was unaware of the events outside. At the moment, he and Long Qiaofeng were busy tracking and slaying beasts across the mirage.

Long Qiaofeng was actively assisting Qin Yun in hunting creatures to gather materials for refining weapons and crafting talismans, all to help him secure a spot in the top ten rankings.

This was because Qin Yun had promised her that he would craft a storage spirit artifact for her.

Qin Yun and Long Qiaofeng were currently chasing a ferocious mystic beast through a dense mountain forest.

"If we capture that mystic beast, we can refine a powerful mystic weapon!" Qin Yun said excitedly.

"That’s a Mystic-Spined Frenzied Panther!" Long Qiaofeng frowned. "These fiends are deadly! Even in the Immortal Armory Mirage, they’re rarely encountered."

The Immortal Armory Mirage was primarily designed for martial artists at the Ninth Layer Martial Path and early-stage Spirit Martial Realm.

Thus, even the strongest beasts here had their limits.

Mystic beasts, in particular, were rarely encountered.

"What challenge is one beast to us...?" Qin Yun said dismissively.

"You’ll understand once the fight starts!" Long Qiaofeng snorted. "Qin Yun, I know you’re strong, but the mystic beasts here are not to be trifled with."

"Then why is this one running away?" Qin Yun asked, noticing Long Qiaofeng’s serious expression. "Just how powerful are these mystic beasts?"

"I encountered one before and nearly lost my life!" Long Qiaofeng said. "This Mystic-Spined Frenzied Panther is probably running because it’s afraid it can’t take both of us at once!"

Long Qiaofeng’s strength was enough to rank her in the top ten here, yet she had almost been killed by a mystic beast.

Qin Yun, who had initially underestimated the creature, now grew extremely cautious.

"This creature moves like lightning!" Qin Yun flew through the air, chasing relentlessly for half an hour without closing the distance.

Just as frustration mounted within Qin Yun, the weaving Mystic-Spined Frenzied Panther suddenly leaped from the ground. Razor spines burst forth from its body as it lunged straight at Qin Yun.

"It’s leading us into a trap! Be careful!" Long Qiaofeng shouted in alarm.

Two Mystic-Spined Frenzied Panthers—one attacking Qin Yun, the other targeting Long Qiaofeng.

The beast had been fleeing earlier to call its kin.

Qin Yun, battle-ready, saw the creature charge at him and lashed out with a fist.

Channelling Dao Force, he unleashed Tsunami Strike, transforming the shockwaves into multiple rippling forces that surged toward the leaping beast.

To his surprise, the Mystic-Spined Frenzied Panther shredded through the shockwaves!

"Vile creature!"

Qin Yun was struck by the creature, several spines impaling his body. Enraged, he unleashed a blast of stormfire energy.

Three raging Dao Forces merged together, howling forth as his punch sent the beast crashing to the ground.

Qin Yun’s body was pierced by multiple spines, though miraculously missing his vitals.

Long Qiaofeng yelled, "The spines of the Mystic-Spined Frenzied Panther puncture and devour energy attacks!"

"A little warning next time!"

Qin Yun swooped down to the ground and had Ling Yuner release a surge of crushing gravitational force that pinned the Mystic Thorn Frenzied Panther flat.

The Mystic Thorn Frenzied Panther, which had intended to continue attacking Qin Yun, was suddenly crushed under the weight, pinning its body flat against the ground.

Qin Yun wielded his broadsword and spammed the Six Forms of Wind Slash repeatedly, slashing the panther to ribbons.

"This thing is really tough!" Qin Yun muttered in astonishment.

After all, his Six Forms of Wind Slash had connected fully with the panther.

If a human were struck like that, they would have been chopped into mincemeat.

Qin Yun spammed the Six Forms of Wind Slash until he finally hacked the Mystic Thorn Frenzied Panther into bloody chunks.

Long Qiaofeng was getting her ass kicked by her own panther, barely staying ahead of it, putting her over ten thousand meters away from Qin Yun.

Once Qin Yun finished his fight, he swiftly flew toward Long Qiaofeng with his blade in hand!

Long Qiaofeng was getting wrecked, her body pierced by several bloody holes, her once-white dress now stained red.

Her heart-shaped face, usually charming and alluring, was contorted in terror as she gritted her teeth against the pain, desperately fighting the panther.

By the time Qin Yun arrived, he saw the Mystic Thorn Frenzied Panther charging at Long Qiaofeng once more.

Long Qiaofeng, who feared pain and death, had no time to dodge and thought she was doomed.

Qin Yun quickly controlled five throwing knives, sending them streaking through the air!

Struck by the knives, the panther immediately halted its assault.

At the same time, Qin Yun dashed toward the panther and went full berserker on it, hacking wildly.

Within moments, he successfully wiped out the beast this fast.

"You're really something!" Long Qiaofeng hadn’t expected Qin Yun to dispatch a Mystic Thorn Frenzied Panther so quickly.

"Why are you holding back? Why aren’t you using your Dragon-Phoenix power?" Qin Yun scoffed as he bagged the massive beast corpse.

"I don’t want to be discovered!"

Long Qiaofeng cautiously glanced around and whispered, "The aura of my Dragon-Phoenix power is like a damn beacon! If anyone nearby senses it and sees me with you, it’ll be a huge problem!"

Earlier, Long Qiaofeng hadn’t fully utilized her Dao Force, relying only on weak-ass Bone Spirit energy combined with her physical strength to fight.

Qin Yun found a large mountain, dug out a cave, and began working on gear inside.

"Since you held your own, I’ll craft you a storage spirit artifact," Qin Yun said with a grin, pulling out a beast hide.

Long Qiaofeng was psyched inside but kept her expression neutral. "Thanks."

Qin Yun quickly crafted a storage bag, engraving it with a weird stellar sigil that allowed it to merge into flesh and blood, concealing it.

His Nine Sun bling possessed a similar ability.

Next, Qin Yun began forging a mystic blade.

He had mystic blade schematics and had previously crafted two killer blades for Tian Ruoleng and Yue Wulan, giving him serious chops in this field.

After two or three days of forging, Qin Yun completed a gold-plated monster of a blade with a palm-wide blade.

The main materials were the bones of the Golden Thorn Frenzied Leopard, which were also golden in color.

Next, he crafted some Frenzied Mystic Fire Talismans, using fire-attribute star patterns and mystic patterns to carve them. He melted the beast bones and hides together, mixing them to create the talismans, though he only managed to produce about a dozen in total.

Just like that, the bones and hides of both mystic beasts were completely used up.

Long Qiaofeng gazed at Qin Yun’s mystic blade with envy, deeply admiring his extraordinary talent for inscriptions. She couldn’t believe he had managed to forge such high-quality weapons within the Immortal Armory Phantom Realm.

"Let’s go pick a fight with a mercenary group!" Qin Yun said with a grin. "I want to track down Tian Yaolei’s group!"

"Fine, but I’ll only tell you the general area—I won’t come along!" Long Qiaofeng replied. She had originally hoped Qin Yun would seek out Long Kuangxing first.

Not long after they left the cave, Long Qiaofeng’s expression suddenly changed. "Long Kuangxing’s aura—why is he here?"

Qin Yun quickly closed his eyes and checked the Martial Arts Ranking, noticing that Long Kuangxing’s points had decreased by five hundred, and his rank had dropped.

"This guy actually spent five hundred points on a Soul-Seeking Talisman!" Qin Yun muttered darkly.

"I’ll stay out of sight!" Long Qiaofeng said before vanishing in an instant.

After using the Soul-Seeking Talisman, Long Kuangxing could pinpoint Qin Yun’s exact location.

Before long, Qin Yun spotted Long Kuangxing.

Clad in golden armor, Long Kuangxing was handsome and burly, but his face was twisted with fury.

"Qin Yun, you’re a dead man!" Long Kuangxing’s voice was icy with rage as soon as he saw Qin Yun.

"I was just killing time, and now you show up!" Qin Yun smirked. "You say I’m dead—how’re you gonna do it?"

"So you’ve been hiding in the Immortal Armory Phantom Realm the whole time, never leaving!" Long Kuangxing’s anger flared even hotter. "Our patriarch’s dead—decapitated!"

Hearing this, Qin Yun froze for a moment before bursting into laughter. "Long Kuangxing, you spent five hundred points on a Soul-Seeking Talisman and came all this way just to tell me such wonderful news? What a saint you are!"

"I’m here for three reasons! First, to inform you that your ass is grass! Second, to capture you. Third, to let you know that if you want a quick death, you’d better grovel for our mercy!"

Long Kuangxing drew a massive blue greatsword, his face contorted with fury as he pointed it at Qin Yun, killing intent rolling off him.

"Grovel?" Qin Yun couldn’t help but laugh. "It was your Long Family who provoked me first! And don’t forget, my four Ancient Dao Artifacts were also stolen by someone from your family. I’ll have a price on that thief’s head too."

"Oh, and tell your new patriarch—I’ll have a price on his head as well!"

Long Kuangxing suddenly roared with laughter. "Qin Yun, do you even realize? You won’t live another year! And yet you still dare to act so arrogantly here! Our patriarch died because of your bounty, and now you’ve enraged our elders. The Long Family is one of the Five Major Clans, standing tall in Spirit Barrens for tens of thousands of years—we are not to be trifled with!"

"Our elders are all at the Demi-immortal realm! The patriarch of the Long Family, the greatest clan in Arrogant Star Province, was killed. The new patriarch is at the Martial Emperor realm, and several Demi-immortal elders have already sworn bloody vengeance!"

"Wow, scary!" Qin Yun laughed mockingly. "Where were they all this time? Did I just not rate before?"

"Qin Yun, you’ll die horribly! And as for the women of Demonmoon Island—none of ‘em are getting away! I’ve heard Tian Ruoleng and Yue Wulan are both there!"

Long Kuangxing’s expression twisted into a lewd sneer. "Once our Demi-immortal elders make their move, I’ll personally set foot on that island. Tian Ruoleng and Yue Wulan will become my playthings—ahahaha!"

Qin Yun frowned, his tone turning serious. "Long Kuangxing, I’m not worried about Demonmoon Island—I’m more concerned about you. You won’t last three months. How exactly do you plan to set foot on that island?"

"Cocky bastard! You’re the one who won’t last three months!"

Enraged, Long Kuangxing swung his greatsword, coming down on Qin Yun like a thunderbolt.
