Reigning Supreme With Pets - Chapter 28

Chapter 28: Subduing Demonic Beast

Upon seeing the Heaven Swallowing Toad once again, Qin Feng burst into laughter.

He thought the toad would have been killed by the Huang family cultivators. After all, the toad’s cultivation level was not particularly great, only at the late-stage of Qi Refinement Stage. Being chased by several cultivators from the Huang family, it had a high chance of losing its life, yet it had unexpectedly escaped their grasp.

However, the toad was in a rather poor condition right then. Judging from how it could only cover between 10 to 20 feet with each leap, its speed was much slower than before.

“Huh, that’s surprisingly easy.”

Qin Feng’s eyes were glowing.

He had originally given up hope, but he never thought this little thing would deliver itself to him. Since they were fated to be together, then it was only fair that he treasured their meeting.

“Get it.”

He tugged at Qin Yang and both of them chased after the Heaven Swallowing Toad.

This time, they did not bother to hide themselves or their aura and were quickly discovered by the toad.

The toad was spooked, thinking that the Huang family cultivators had caught up to it once more. It quickly jumped away, trying to escape from them.

However, it had previously suffered a hit from one of the Huang family’s hammer users, injuring it badly. If that group of cultivators did not voluntarily give up the chase, it would not have survived.

With the injury it suffered, its speed fell drastically and was unable to run away from Qin Feng and Qin Yang. Very soon, they caught up to it.

The Heaven Swallowing Toad was a demon beast after all. Seeing that escape was futile, it decided to stand its ground for one last fight. It opened it mouth wide and shot its tongue out like an arrow over a hundred feet away, aimed at Qin Yang’s body.

It could sense that Qin Yang carried the biggest threat. As long as he was killed, then the other cultivator at the early-stage of Qi Refinement Stage should run away in fear.

Qin Yang had witnessed the scene where the toad’s tongue pierced through the chest of the Huang family cultivator. He dared not let his guard down and quickly took out a small shield the size of his palm. Under the influence of his spiritual energy, it turned into a round shield that was two feet wide, glimmering in a shade of bluish spiritual aura. Pushing it to the front, he used it to block the toad’s attack.

However, even then, he was pushed back a few steps by the toad’s attack.

Qin Yang was shocked as that was an attack after the spiritual toad was injured. If it were at its peak condition, he would not have been its match.

Nevertheless, with it being injured, the fight’s outcome was completely different.

He pumped his spiritual energy into the round shield and tossed it. The edges glowed with a bright sharp aura as it rotated while slicing its way toward the toad.

Following that, he took out another saber and made a chopping motion in the air. A three feet long flaming blade Qi came roaring forth and forced the toad to evade by jumping away.

The magical tools Qin Yang carried with him were standard issues for patrol officers. The round shield had an extremely sharp edge. It was able to function as a defensive equipment while maintaining the capability of attacking with its spinning edge. The saber was just as extraordinary, able to produce flaming sword Qi.

That was the main reason he joined the patrol office. Not only would he be paid a salary, but there were also magical tools given as incentive.

It was all because the Qin family held power over the patrol office of Kun City. Otherwise, he would most likely not get such a good deal.

The Heaven Swallowing Toad was forced to dodge left and right by the attacks from Qin Yang’s magical tools. When it was cornered without an escape, its body emitted a layer of white light that acted as a protective barrier.

It was injured and was unwilling to fight Qin Yang head on. However, due to its reduced speed, it was unable to dodge and had to take Qin Yang’s attacks, putting it in a pitiful situation.

Just as the toad took another flaming blade Qi head on, it made a leap and tried to escape. However, it was met with a huge net that came at it suddenly.

The net covered an area of several dozen feet radius. The lines of the net shined brightly. It was obviously a special item. If it was trapped by the net, it would be in danger.

The toad tried to evade, but it was already in the air with no way to move.

Following that, its body was like a moth to a flame, sending itself into the net and wrapped tightly within it.

The toad tried to squirm out of the net, but every strand of the Spirit Binding Net was emitting a spiritual aura and shrunk in size, trapping the toad firmly. Even the demonic energy within the toad was bound, unable to be released.

No matter how hard it tried to struggle, it was unable to escape from the net.

“Haha…”

Qin Feng was delighted. He immediately waved to shrink the Spirit Binding Net down and brought it to his hand.

The toad tried to open its mouth and shoot his tongue through this cultivator’s body. However, the net tightened and held its body so tightly that it could not even open its mouth to lash its tongue out.

Qin Yang came over and shot Qin Feng with a surprised look. He did not expect his cousin to refine the Spirit Binding Net so quickly.

Nevertheless, it was only a mid-grade magical tool and the cultivator that refined it was not too strong. The spiritual marking left behind would be rather weak as well. It was not too difficult to remove the marking left behind by someone. With that, he did not think much about it and quickly shifted his attention to the Heaven Swallowing Toad.

“This spiritual toad is quite strong and you haven’t joined the sect yet. You better not try to subdue this spiritual toad as you might end up facing some backlash. If you really want to subdue it, it’s best to have Seventh Uncle suppress it in your stead for some time first. You can refine it into your spiritual beast after you have joined the sect.”

Qin Feng was looking at the Heaven Swallowing Toad with bright glowing eyes. Hearing that, he chuckled and replied, “Don’t worry, Brother Yang. I know the consequences and won’t act rashly.”

With the Demon Refinement Kettle, he was not afraid of the backlash from this puny demon beast of the late-stage Qi Refinement Stage.

Unless the demon beast had the ability to break free from the restrictive laws within the Demon Refinement Kettle, it was impossible for there to be any backlash.

Qin Yang looked at the time and urged, “Let’s go home quickly. If we delay any longer, Seventh Uncle might send someone to come looking for us.”

“Alright.” Qin Feng nodded, then kept the wrapped up toad within his sleeves.

However, after avoiding Qin Yang’s gaze, he secretly communicated with the Demon Refinement Kettle to absorb the spiritual toad.

He was not stupid and did not plan to take the Heaven Swallowing Toad as his nascent spirit beast.

After all, it was too difficult for this type of demon beast to grow stronger. Once he took it as his nascent spirit beast, it would slow his cultivation speed and might even cause him to be stuck at the Qi Refinement Stage forever, unable to finish his foundation establishment.

Only by keeping it within the Demon Refinement Kettle and nurturing it as the lead demon in a separate world would he be able to use the ability of the kettle, fusing the bloodline ability of similar demon beasts to help the Heaven Swallowing Toad grow quickly.

The Demon Refinement Kettle was truly an ancient treasure. Even though it was incomplete, it only needed to apply a small amount of suction force to absorb the Heaven Swallowing Toad.

Moreover, it was absorbed with the Spirit Binding Net in the way.

Before the Demon Refinement Kettle, the Spirit Binding Net’s restrictions were nothing.

Qin Feng extended his divine sense into the kettle and immediately noticed the toad in the space of the bottommost layer.

At that moment, the toad was in a confused state.

It was just caught by someone and had its demonic energy restricted. It thought it would surely die, but in the blink of an eye, it was absorbed by an irresistible suction force and ended up in this place.

At the same time, it felt its own spiritual energy and body was fused with the space around it. From that moment on, it would live and die in that space. Without the permission from the controller of that space, it was not allowed to leave.

With the Heaven Swallowing Toad’s intelligence, it was unable to comprehend what was going on.

However, it quickly sensed another consciousness reaching in.

That consciousness seems to be able to control everything. Even the space around it was under its control, itself included.

When that consciousness came in contact with it, the Heaven Swallowing Toad could not muster any will to fight back. It could only obediently allow the other party to enter its body and study the secrets within.
