“Bastard, stop!”

A sharp shout rang out. Qiong Qi and Bai Ze were like two shooting stars. They arrived before Cloud Leopard and stood in front of him. The two of them attacked at the same time. Two blue pillars of light shot towards the Cloud Leopard like cannonballs.

The Cloud Leopard was fast, but Qiong Qi and Bai Ze were even faster. Their attacks were also extremely precise. The two attacks landed on the Cloud Leopard’s body. The Cloud Leopard tumbled through the air and crashed into the Sunset Forest.

“This beast has quite the guts. How dare he act so impudently in front of us!” Qiong Qi was clearly furious.

Bai Ze looked back at Beiting Huang meaningfully. “I can only say that there is someone better than you and me commanding it!”

“If it weren’t for… I wouldn’t let it leave alive today!” Qiong Qi gritted its teeth and said fiercely, clearly unwilling to accept this.

The Cloud Leopard fell to the ground and whimpered. It was covered in golden fur with black spots. It was originally beautiful and ostentatious, but now, after being attacked by the Qiong Qi and Bai Ze, a large part of it had been burned. It was in an especially sorry state. The emotions in its eyes were human-like. Beiting Huang saw that it was deeply afraid of Qiong Qi and Bai Ze, but when it looked at Beiting Huang, it was a little unwilling.

It was wondering if Qiong Qi and Bai Ze would really take its life if it continued to attack Beiting Huang.

It looked at Beiting Huang for a moment before leaving.

Beiting Huang had a feeling that it led the Magical Beast army here because of her. After it left, Beiting Huang vaguely felt that something was pulling her.

She couldn’t be bothered to think about what she couldn’t figure out. The appearance of the Two-Winged Cloud Leopard immediately set off a wave of excitement in the camp. Everyone became more and more wary of the Night King Manor’s strength, and they were also filled with anticipation for this mission. After all, if they completed the mission, the reward would be a Two-Winged Cloud Leopard that specialized in speed and attack power.

Magical Beasts were ranked as first rank Magical Beasts, second rank Spiritual Beasts. Ranks above Spiritual Beasts were Holy Beasts, followed by Divine Beasts. Holy Beasts were comparable to a human being a Heaven Rank Expert. Obtaining a Holy Beast was equivalent to having a Heaven Rank expert in the family. In the hands of a Soul Master, forming a contract would not be as simple as an additional companion.

As long as it was a Spirit Master, who wouldn’t want to get a contracted Spirit Beast? The strength of a contracted Magical Beast could increase the strength of a Spirit Master. The purer the bloodline of a contracted Magical Beast, the faster the cultivation speed of a contracted Spirit Master.

Of course, Beiting Huang was only a swordmaster for the time being. She did not have much interest in this holy beast.

“If you want money, the Night King Mansion has plenty of money. Can you not be so scary?” Qiong Qi was startled and said angrily.

“I’ll fight for what I want!” Knowing that Qiong Qi meant well, Beiting Huang was not angry. However, she was born cold. She nodded at Qiong Qi and Bai Ze. “I’m really sorry to have frightened you!”

“It’s nothing. We’re all from the Night Mansion. We’re companions to begin with.”

Beiting Huang was not strong, but her integrity, courage, and firm belief could influence people. Qiong Qi and Bai Ze only had respect for her. It was not because of the Night King, but pure respect for warriors.

After a tense battle, everyone wanted to relax after harvesting the spoils of war. The campsite was reorganized. They lit bonfires, took out bottles of fine wine, and roasted meat on the fire. Soon, the fragrance filled the air. Qiong Qi invited Beiting Huang, “Come, let’s roast meat and drink!”

“Alright!” Beiting Huang was also very happy. She was elated to be treated as a companion by Qiong Qi and Bai Ze. She felt like she was fighting alongside her companions in her previous life.
