Chapter 7: The Madness of Abnormality

  "With a crazy command, the gluttonous man rushed over and stretched out his small paws to scratch several lines on everyone's face. Blood beads burst forth and flowed down their chins. The little guy was also a bully who picked on the weak and feared the strong. Although it was the middle-aged man who had severely injured him earlier, he targeted the group of people who came later with every move."

  "Hey, what kind of person are you?" Hong Yang asked loudly, the pain on his face surging up, making him careless. But he never thought that after chasing the Super Divine Beast to this place, and finally injuring it severely, just as he was about to succeed, he unexpectedly encountered two more Divine Beasts. Following the principle of "killing two birds with one stone", he wanted to capture all of them, but who would have thought that these two Divine Beasts actually had an owner? And what's more, they could even stop him from moving a single step.

  "You wicked woman, you must have used some kind of witchcraft, hurry up and let us go!"

  "Do you know who we are? If you beg for mercy now, we might spare your life!"

  ……

  The noisy noise made the already gloomy mood even more irritable, "Shut up all of you!"

  The scene was momentarily frozen, and when everyone came to their senses, the shouting grew even louder. You and I exchanged blows, constantly stimulating the tense nerves.

  Comforting the heartbroken Pixiu, it ended up that the little guy kept pulling its own fur, and the flames of anger in his heart were rising continuously. "Who did this to my Pixiu's fur?"

  Everyone looked at each other in dismay, what was this girl's background after all?

  "Master, master, it's him, it's him, he's the one who did it!" After taking a glance at the man in the middle, Gluttonous Little Paw pointed with its finger and then scurried back into Light Crazy's arms.

  "Oh? What are you up to?" Looking at the man in front of him, he swaggered and slowly approached with a leisurely pace.

  "What's the point? Since you've blocked my way and taken my things, there's only one outcome!" The man appeared to be bantering with Qing Kuang on the surface, but in reality, he was also thinking of a way to escape.

  "Master, master, we didn't take his things! That fruit was clearly seen by us first, but then it was snatched away by him, and he even hit us!" The little guy explained hastily, his voice becoming somewhat shrill.

  Upon hearing this, Qing Kuang's heart was filled with even more self-reproach. The little one getting hurt was all because of helping her find herbs; if only he had known earlier, he wouldn't have let them come out in the first place.

  "What's this 'guo guo' that my family's glutton is talking about? Bring it out!"

  "What's the point?" Although there were only three fruits, it was better than nothing and could at least treat his injuries.

  "Should I or shouldn't I?" The dagger hovered precariously at the man's throat, and with just a slight movement of his reckless mind, he could send him to the underworld immediately.

  "I say, this is your own feud, don't drag us into it, now let us go quickly!" The group of people with Hong Yang all looked at her indignantly, but when they saw the dagger floating in mid-air, they were quite intimidated.

  "Who said it's none of your business? I'll settle the score with you guys slowly later!" Rubbing the small head of the Pixiu, he comforted in a gentle and soothing tone, "Good boy, isn't Pixiu most fond of treasures? What do you want, Master will give it to you, okay? Don't be sad~"

  "Baby?" The little guy's ears perked up, but looking at his fur again, it was messy. "Don't want... want fur... fur..."

  "It's really going to grow out, master isn't cheating you, just wait a moment and master will help you tidy it up, then it won't look so ugly." It seems that this burnt fur can only be shaved off.

  The little guy's amber-colored big eyes stared at him, then lowered his head in distress, and the usual liveliness was gone. It can be seen that this fur is much more important than treasure.

  "As for you! If you don't pay, that's okay too. It depends on how thick your skin is!" The moment he finished speaking, the fire-elemental spiritual power in his hand suddenly attacked, but unexpectedly, this man also had some tricks up his sleeve. He had been holding back previously, and at this moment when danger arrived, he actually dodged it!

  With a raised eyebrow in surprise, he gently put down the two little ones and, like a treasured sword being unsheathed, charged forward with a sharp and fierce posture.

  Watching the humans rushing towards him, Lei Xin's heart secretly trembled. Today was absolutely his most unlucky day. First, he was inexplicably discovered by humans, then he was pursued and beaten, and even injured by their cunning. Dragging his wounded body, he finally found a Lei Xing fruit to heal himself, but it was snatched away by two lowly creatures who got there first. Before he could consume the fruit, the pursuers arrived. Once again, he was caught up in chaos. Unexpectedly, the two small creatures he had injured earlier belonged to someone, and this human actually wanted to seek justice? How ridiculous! As a mighty Super Beast, he wouldn't fear a weak human, would he? However, he hadn't expected that this human could actually restrain him. Already wounded, he risked using his ultimate technique to break free from the restraints, but this only made things worse - injury upon injury!

  Lightly insane didn't care what was in his mind, coordinating with the random dagger, and the fire and wood spiritual power in his hand, he called out to him. Even if Thunderbolt was injured, after all, a super divine beast is still a super divine beast, this gap is still very big. Dodging Lightly insane's attack, Thunderbolt already had an injury on his body, now his temper also started to become violent. The thunderball in his hand crackled and popped, then he smashed it towards Lightly insane, who barely dodged, and had to reevaluate the strength of this "person". Previously she thought that aura was not quite normal, looking again at his feet without any spell arrays, and occasionally his eyes would turn into a vertical line, also the greedy and fearful looks from the others, this "person's" identity was self-evident.

  She had just absorbed a large amount of spiritual energy from the Ling Spirit, and Qing Kuang was thinking of finding someone to try it out on. Of course, the Super Divine Beast would also do, and now she had a great opportunity, how could she not cherish it?

  For a moment, the two of them fought hard, each time Ben Lei wanted to break free, he would be caught and reluctantly take the blow. How could this human being be so stubborn? He still wanted to take the thunderbolt fruit as soon as possible!

  With the tacit cooperation of the dagger that followed her heart, she was able to barely tie with Qing Kuang. The two of them fought, and it was a spectacular sight for the people around them. That was a Super Divine Beast! So many people joined forces but couldn't subdue him, yet this young girl could actually fight him to a draw? But she's just a minor Huang Jian realm, how is that possible? It must be the dagger's credit, a flying dagger that can soar in the air, what level of fantasy artifact is this?

  "Are you looking for death?" Apparently, the prolonged fight had made Ben Lei impatient, his eyes were filled with fierce anger, he originally didn't want to bother, but this person was really too ignorant!

  Panting heavily, her mood was not good. Was it really impossible? She couldn't even defeat a super beast now, let alone talk about being strong. What's the use of having multiple systems? Alchemist, equipment master, what's the use? In front of strong people, she still can't withstand a single blow, unable to protect herself, unable to protect Yu'er, and even unable to protect her contract beast. The accumulated negative emotions suddenly rose up, and the originally clear black eyes suddenly flashed with residual light, with blood threads crawling all over the eye sockets. The dark system spirit bead on her spiritual foundation also started spinning rapidly, changing from its usual calmness to becoming more and more arrogant. Her long black hair that had fallen over her shoulder was blown back without any wind, and her robes were rustling loudly. A faint layer of black air spread around her body, and the sudden change in her aura made even the gluttonous and the Qiongqi not dare to approach easily, only able to stand guard stupidly on one side.

  "Kill!" It was as if several voices overlapped together, and when Qing Kuang stood up again, he seemed to have crawled out of hell like a demon, ferocious and brutal, yet with an aura of death all over him.

  "Endless!" What was originally a light and crazy use of fire-based spiritual power had turned into a dark-based spiritual power, filled with oppressive energy. The dark spiritual power, like a thick fog, rushed towards Ben Lei, and as it got closer to him, the black fog that was initially unclear in shape began to slowly reveal its human form, directly enveloping Ben Lei inside.

  Everything in front of him was blurry, except for the cruel and brutal gaze that stared at him, with a bloodthirsty smile rising from the corner of his mouth.

  "Ah......" The Thunder in the dark fog let out a painful cry, what is this dark fog? It's actually devouring his crystal core!

  "Haha......haha......" Hearing the sound, she couldn't help but laugh out loud, yet somehow her entire being seemed to have transformed into another person.

  The dark fog slowly eroded the Thunder Beast's crystal core, and even its body. Outsiders couldn't understand what was happening, but from that voice, it could be heard that he was enduring extreme pain, to the point where a Super Divine Beast would rather die than live. How did this girl manage to do this?

  "Life or death!" With a carefree and reckless air, he strolled step by step to the front of Ben Lei, but his eyes seemed sinister no matter how you looked at them.

  Enduring the painful thunder, he was also forced out of anger, and even if he died, he would pull these humans to bury them together.

  "Thunderbolt!" A deep purple-black lightning bolt suddenly appeared, with a loud thunder as its center, a powerful light wave spreading out in all directions, accompanied by the pressure of the super divine beast. The entire Kuyou Forest was shaken violently, and those closest to him, including Light and the others who were sealed, suffered the greatest damage.

  The mighty pressure of the Ultra Beast was released, and some of the crystal cores of the array set up by Qing Kuang were shifted. With the impact, the crowd that had been uneasy from the start were all knocked flying, cries of pain and gasps for breath rose and fell, some who were close by had already stopped breathing, and some with lower cultivation levels became cripples from then on.

  At the moment of danger, Qingkuang used his spiritual power to build a barrier for himself. When all the barriers were shattered, he spat out a mouthful of blood, looking disheveled and with several tears in his clothes. After this illusion disappeared, Qingkuang, who had been covering his chest and lowering his head, raised his eyes, which now had even more bloody streaks, forming a web-like pattern that covered the edges of his black pupils, and an even more brutal aura than before. When the black fog dispersed, what appeared in front of everyone was no longer a tall and strong man, but a nearly two-meter-high black leopard gradually revealing its true form, its shiny black fur flashing with specks of light as it slowly approached Qingkuang with a noble gait.

  The originally strong and proud Qing Kuang and the weak Ben Lei have now swapped positions.

  However, the injured Qingkuang became even more excited, and the dark Lingzhu on the spiritual base also flew up with it, suppressing the other five-elemental Lingzhu.

  "If you don't want to live, I'll send you on your way!" The previously calm Ben Lei was also filled with anger now. After all, there were not many people who could force his Super Beast out of its original form. This was a great humiliation! And humiliation should not be left in this world.

  "Oh, is that so? Then let's see who dies in whose hands!" If it was said that she was still seeking justice before her sudden change, then at this moment, it had already become a life-and-death struggle for her.

  The scene suddenly became heavy, and it was unclear who made the first move. When they saw clearly, a person and a beast fought together again. The red-clothed girl jumped onto the black leopard's back, punching down with her fists, while the black leopard also refused to show weakness, trying to shake off the human on its back.

  The fist in her hand was imbued with spiritual power as it came crashing down, accompanied by a strong gust of wind that produced a loud "Boom Boom Boom" sound, making everyone feel like their bones were aching. When the fist was stained with blood, the excitement in her eyes grew even more intense. If someone had been paying close attention, they would have noticed that her fists also carried a faint layer of blackness. The Asura-like person was riding on top of the Super Divine Beast, and was mercilessly pummeling it.

  Originally, Ben Lei was still confident, but he didn't expect that this human would completely suppress him with spiritual power. The punches and kicks made his head ache, and he wanted to resist but couldn't muster the strength. However, if he were defeated by such a human, he wouldn't be able to show his face in this world anymore. Thinking of this, Ben Lei used the energy in the crystal core to its limits. In an instant, dark clouds filled the sky, and it seemed like they would collapse at any moment. Before long, thunder rumbled and lightning flashed, illuminating the entire sky with a crackling sound. Against the backdrop of her lightly flushed face, she looked even more enchanting.

  With the lightness of his body, he rushed forward with a loud crash, but his direction was towards the high place. When the lightness moved to kill him and aimed at his throat with a dagger, a flash of lightning struck down, directly hitting her. The bright white light and the sound of thunder shook the air, striking the top of the lightness's head without any politeness. This flash of lightning was indeed brought by the Thunder Beast, and it was not difficult for him to bring down the thunder from the sky. However, his original intention was to kill the lightness with lightning, but he didn't expect that "the beast's calculation is inferior to heaven's calculation". The lightning directly linked him and the lightness together, forming a medium, forcing them to make a contract. Originally, the lightness did not intend to make a contract with him, but this was an unexpected twist of fate.

  Pain struck, and she let out a low hum, half of it due to the external lightning, and the other half because this lightning came with a dense and overbearing spiritual energy that forcibly connected with the life elements in her body, then transformed into thunder-based spiritual power that settled down on her spiritual foundation.

  As a result, her hair, which had already been burned once, was now even more charred. However, what caused her even more pain and suffering was the awakening of the Thunder Spirit Power, followed by the rapid advancement of the Dark Spirit Power, as well as the massive amount of spiritual energy required to contract with the Super Divine Beast. The triple burden was almost too much for her to bear. On her Spiritual Foundation, a buzzing sound could be heard, and purple-black electricity flashed across it. Just like the Dark Spirit Pearl, the Thunder Spirit Pearl was not accepted by the other five pearls, and even the Dark Spirit Pearl did not want to associate with it. It could only stand alone at the bottom of the five pearls, continuously emitting small purple sparks. At the same time, the advancing formation descended from the sky, and since it was mainly composed of Dark Spirit Power, the entire formation was shrouded in a faint black color, covering up most of the light. Previously, she had almost reached six stars, but now it didn't even require any effort. However, with the addition of Thunder Spirit Power, the formation also underwent significant changes, and the various spirit powers began to re-divide themselves.

  Darkness, devouring everything! Because the dark spiritual power had been absorbing and suppressing the other five elements before, at this moment the remaining five elements also advanced together, but the speed of the thunder element was not so fast after all. It couldn't be like the other five elements that were mutually born, so it only stopped at the level of Spiritual Saint and didn't change anymore.

  The first two are settled, and the only one left is this super divine beast. When she made a contract with them earlier, the divine beasts almost didn't let her get away with it, so now this super divine beast, Xiao Kuang's heart is also uncertain. If the divine beast's spiritual power wall was strong enough, the super divine beast's spiritual power is like a vast ocean, completely unable to grasp its boundaries, and there's no way to make a move. When Xiao Kuang tentatively released a thread of spiritual power, she finally understood what it means to be "a stone sinking into the ocean". At this moment, she was also at a loss, so why not try covering it up?

  The spiritual power that had been compressed by the Light Insanity was extracted in large quantities, and then spread out towards the vast ocean of spiritual power. It tentatively probed forward with a tight grasp, but its spiritual power was like trying to put a baby's clothes on a giant, the effect was predictable. More importantly, this super divine beast did not want to be contracted, the waves in the spiritual power ocean were turbulent and surging, obviously wanting to swallow up Light Insanity's spiritual power.

  When the crowd rushed over, they saw a shocking scene. Is this what it means to be in a contract? The super divine beast they had been chasing for so long was actually doing someone else's bidding? No way, no way, this is a precious super divine beast! How could it fall into someone else's hands? Thinking of this, the crowd exchanged glances and took out their fantasy devices, pressing forward towards the approaching figure.

  Right behind Qing Kuang, the two Pixiu suddenly flared up and stood in front of him, staring intently at the crowd rushing over.

  The red-clothed girl had a cold face, with bloodstains at the corners of her mouth, and her disheveled clothes were furrowed in concern. In front of her, two small creatures bared their teeth in warning, while a group of humans approached cautiously, clearly intending to do harm to the red-clothed girl. This was the scene that Mo Jiu Yu saw as soon as she returned.

  "Ah-ya!" Just as he had retrieved the Seven-Colored Soil, before he could even feel happy about it, he saw this scene. The man's mood was understandable. Mo Jiu Yu anxiously shouted out once, and when he turned his gaze back to the people around him, with a wave of his large hand, everything was spotless in an instant, with only a faint breeze blowing by.

  "Ah!" Having cleared away the obstructing objects, Mo Jiu Yu finally looked at Qing Kuang with a worried expression. The red bloodstain on his mouth pained his eyes and also pained his heart. Clearly just a moment ago he was fine, how did it become like this? If only he had known earlier, he wouldn't have left, then none of this would have happened.

  "What's going on here?!" The man's furious gaze scared the two little ones stiff. Seeing their timid appearance, Mo Jiu also got angry and asked them stupidly, without waiting for their response, he directly replayed everything that had just happened in front of his eyes.

  Looking at the scenes that just happened, especially when Qingkuang was beaten to vomit blood, Mo Jiu's anger in her heart kept rising. Her vicious gaze stared tightly at Ben Lei on the side, as if she hated him so much that she wanted to flay and dismember him. Also, when seeing Qingkuang's abnormal change, the man's worry in his eyes never dissipated.

  But the light madness that has been immersed in the contract is still striving towards that vast ocean, every time the spiritual power is knocked back, it will be even more fierce, however, as time passes, the already unsightly complexion becomes even paler, making Mo Jue's heart ache with sorrow.

  Day and night alternated, Mo Jiu You and Tao Tie kept guarding Qing Kuang's side for three whole days and nights. Qing Kuang maintained the same posture all along, like an old monk in meditation. Amidst the back-and-forth battle, Ben Lei's spiritual power was still stubbornly resisting, but Qing Kuang's spiritual power was like a cockroach that couldn't be killed - every time it was forced back, it became even more courageous, and the three days and nights of time had already covered half of the area.

  Moyao Yu had been waiting impatiently, he had promised to support her and let her rise with her own strength. But when he saw the person he cared about most swaying unsteadily, her face pale, his mood naturally changed. Wasn't it just a contract with a super divine beast? Did it have to be so troublesome? Thinking this, the man suddenly stood up and came to Ben Lei's side, his powerful magic slowly seeping into its body, forcing Ben Lei to divert some of its attention to resist.

  Originally, Qingkuang was still wondering if her spiritual power wasn't as strong as before, but this actually made things easier for her. Her spiritual power, like a vast and empty border, covered the area at an alarming speed, not even giving Bitter Storm a chance to react. As a result, Bitter Storm was completely powerless under the joint attack of the two.

  In an instant, the law of heaven and earth descended, enveloping Qing Kuang and Ben Lei, and the vast ocean that was completely covered by Qing Kuang's spiritual power could no longer generate even a ripple, but instead was slowly penetrated, ultimately surrendering.

  When her spiritual power could fully control the thunder spirit, the promotion array flashed under her feet, and the thunder spirit's spiritual power surged instantly, filling the meridians throughout her body. The familiar pain came, and Qingkuang clenched her teeth to endure it. However, those open eyes were extremely fierce, and the red area on her pupils had slightly expanded, making her look unfamiliar.

  "Girl, where does it hurt? Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, I'm back, and I'm by your side!" Mo Jiu Yu's anxious heart couldn't bear it anymore as he hugged the person tightly, and upon feeling Xiao Ya Tou's painful tremble, he became even more unbearable.

  The skin cracked open, bloodstains spreading everywhere. By the time the frenzy had passed, I was exhausted and couldn't move. When the Heavenly Dao and Advancement Arrays disappeared, another shackle appeared in my mind. The Thunder Spirit Power also broke through to the Huang Qi Realm, stabilizing at the second star position.

  "Master, I am Ben Lei!" Due to the contract with Qing Kuang, Ben Lei's injuries had long since healed, and he transformed back into his human form, kneeling beside Qing Kuang. However, as soon as he spoke, he was instantly slapped flying by Mo Jiu You.

  "Girl, girl! Does it still hurt?" He brushed aside her disheveled hair, the man not minding the bloodstains and dirt all over his own body.

  After a fierce panting, the sharp and piercing gaze shot towards Mo Jiu You, and it took a long time to recover as usual. "Mo... Mo Jiu You..."

  "It's me, it's all my fault... I shouldn't have left you alone..." Mo Jiu's lips kept falling on the forehead of the lightly crazed person, as he continuously spoke words of remorse.

  "Alright...... I'm fine......" The redness in his eyes gradually faded away, and he didn't know what he was thinking about, but his face was still pale.

  "It's fine as long as nothing happens, I'm worried to death about you......" Not that he didn't feel the unusual arrogance of Mo Jiu, but rather he subconsciously ignored the unease in his heart. As long as the person was still in front of him, it was fine, as long as the person was still there, it was fine.

  "Mojie you, I'm tired... and this outfit needs to be changed..." Closing her eyes, her thoughts were in turmoil, memories of the past began to surface, was that person really her just now?

  "Alright, change now, if you're tired, sleep, I'll help you clean up..." Looking at the person in his arms who didn't want to say more, Mo Jiu You also didn't force it. They had finally managed to be together, and Xiao Yao Tou had rarely accepted him, so he didn't want anything else to happen.

  The man hugged her and left hastily, the newly healed Ben Lei was injured again, coughing up a mouthful of blood, looking at the departing couple with unpredictable changes.

  "You, hand over Guo Guo!" After hesitating for a long time, Tao Tie still plucked up the courage to go forward and ask Ben Lei for the Lei Guo fruit.

  "What's it to you if I don't give it to you?"

  "You, you, you, I'm telling you, the master loves me the most! If you dare to provoke me, I'll let the master teach you a lesson!" The words were meant to intimidate, but they had no persuasive power at all. Every time it said a word, the little guy would take a step back.

  "Go ahead, you dare?"

  "Relying on... relying on me, what's wrong? I've been by the master's side for the longest time, and the master likes me the most. If you bully me, oh, and also Pi Xiu, the master will definitely not give you food to eat, and let you go hungry!"

  Upon hearing this, Ben Lei's head was filled with black lines. He didn't bother to argue with the brainless divine beast, and with a big throw, he directly tossed the previously snatched Leiyu fruit to Taotie.

  Hugging the Leimu fruit, the gluttonous Pixiu trotted to the front of the Qilin, raised its paws and said, "Qilin ~ look, treasure ~"

  The Qilin, who had been heartbroken all along, glanced at him and then at the Lei fruit in front of him, unceremoniously putting it into his own pouch before continuing to sink into sorrow.

  "Gluttony, Greed, let's go!" The already distant and exhausted Xiao Yan opened his eyes and called out to the two little ones.

  "Here, here!" Wiped the corner of his mouth, Piao Yu responded, pulling up Qiu Qiu's small paws and closely following the light and crazy footsteps. And Ben Lei, who was not called by name, shook his head and also followed suit, after all, that human being is now his master too, isn't he?

  Digression

  Holding a pen and scribbling on paper, bamboo shoots are trying their best, but I have a headache, time for sleep.
