Chereads / His apprentice / Chapter 2 - Conquering the beasts

Chapter 2 - Conquering the beasts

xueran and master Tang landed gracefully outside as they studied the entire manor the courtyard alone held up to fifty demonic beasts of all ranks,a normal person will pee on himself in such a situation,the beasts tore apart anyone who crosses their path and such became their meal

xueran couldn't help but wonder why the beasts suddenly attacked it's not even the month of beasts when such attacks are frequent,but they were here and it seemed his home was their target,he felt dejected at how bad the timing was for the beasts to attack,he just lost his jewel and love and his daughter just entered the world,he sighed as he thought of it when master Tang's voice woke him from his reverie.

master Tang spoke;xueran this is not the time to think of your situation or pain, just fight and get rid of this nuisance.

Feng xueran smiled and adjusted his stance,he took a deep breath balancing his qi,in the clan Feng xueran was one of the men who could be called a cultivation genius,he was able to cultivate till the fifth level of spirit master who and having three spirit talents/elements was deemed a blessing.

in this cultivation world there were basically five common elements and three rare elements

The common ones are the water,Earth,air, fire and wood elements while the rare elements are lightning,wind and gold element.the cultivation ranks were:

Spirit practitioner

profound practitioner

master practitioner

spirit master

grandmaster

saint

lord

each having six levels of perfection.the final two are only seen once in a blue moon as it is said that they become immortals and are secluded as they are obsessed with getting stronger.

Feng xueran was blessed with wood water and fire elements and being at the spirit master rank was impeccable.

he summoned his sword from his space and his qi filled the sword as it showed the beautiful aura of green blue and golden colour with a strong and scary sword intent,he launched himself at the beasts joining master Tang who had long launched himself into suppressing the beasts along with the others, xueran slashed his sword cutting and shredding the beasts unleashing his grief anger and happiness at the same time.

ear-piercing shrieks resounded in the courtyard,at this point all the lower ranked beasts had been conquered,leaving the high ranked and stubborn ones behind there were four high ranked beasts,a giant lion beast which was a level 5 master practitioner was causing mayhem it had the fire element spitting fireballs at everyone xueran decided to handle this beast himself,he created a huge water bubble around himself it may seem fragile but it was as solid as rock when attacked,he increased his flow of Qi to his sword he slowly stepped out of the bubble from little rift he made,he sealed it tight planning on his fatal attack,he slowly started heating up the bubble with his fire Qi and soon it started steaming at this moment it may pop anytime and without a second thought he moved the bubble to hover above the giant wolf and increased the heat all this while the beast was just staring at him but it soon realised something was off but before it could react the bubble burst with a splash all over the wolf lucky enough no one else was hurt,the wolf howled in pain and it got angrier and lunched his attack as it was about to pounce on Feng xueran a slicing sound was heard,blood splashed on his face the wolf fell to the ground in halves,that was his fatal attack,the bubble was just to weaken the beasts,when he was done there were only two beasts left as master Tang had already killed one of them,the remaining two were level 1 spirit master lightning centipedes bundled with the fact that they are poisonous they were about 100 meters long one had a shade of red while the other had red and black.

anyone who attacked was struck with lightning from the beasts,they were definitely the strongest,xueran decided to attack first,he struck with his sword which still glared with killing intent,the hit landed but only gave a scratch.

this must be a joke,xueran thought to himself,just a scratch?? he landed more but it only resulted the same,the beast got annoyed and attempted shouting lightning at him but he dodged but was caught off balance by another strike,he was thrown and met back first with a tree he coughed out blood,he easily regenerated his Qi and watched master Tang fighting the beasts he studied their movement and techniques he noticed the one with a shade of red always counter attacking and protecting the other one and that moment I knew they were mates,he joined the fight and asked master Tang to focus on the red one which was the male he had to find it's weak spot because direct blows were pointless,I flew around for a while till he saw a white spot on it's head,he hovered around it for a moment I was about to strike when lightning bolts launched at me the,he knee that would happen he signalled his soldiers to keep the female distracted with perfect timing he aimed at the spot and struck the spot yellowish fluid splashed and the beast wriggled for a while and soon stopped moving seeing this the female got angry and flared up with lightning Qi surrounding it's body,it shrieked so loudly while it's mouth was still opened master Tang released a blast into it's mouth and it exploded filling the whole yard with it's carcass.

xueran heaved a sigh of relief as he slumped to the ground,he scanned around the courtyard some soldiers were lying dead and others injured,he felt like crying at the moment,his household was a mess,master Tang patted his back and gave him a reassuring smile,telling him to be strong after all it was a huge blow for him he lost so much in such a short time.

Feng xueran you have to stay strong not just for yourself but for your daughter as well, rebuild and reshape what you have left,master Tang said.

I have made a repellent formation around your house,this will stop all beasts from entering the your home,I'll be on my way now I'll come again tomorrow as something seems off,he added and summoned his majestic beast it was a level 2 spirit master flying lion he hopped on and took off disappearing into the darkness leaving xueran watching.

Feng xueran helped many of the wounded soldiers to the health center then he headed to where his daughter was at the moment he unlocked and opened the door he walked inside and a mixture of pain and relief was shown in his expression,he lost one to get another,tears rolled down his cheeks as he took Liuxue from the maid and sat close to his dead wife
