Immortal Ascension Tower - Book 1: Reborn! [CH 1 - 75]

Chapter 3 - Bloody Message - Edited

Spirit Beasts were actually creatures which could cultivate so they were really intelligent. Many tipes of Spirit Beasts exist, and they are mainly divided into Humanoid, Monstrous, Evil and Mysterious Beasts. Heavenly Beasts were, instead, lords above all other spirit beasts and the Primordial Heavenly Beasts also, referred to as Lords amongst the Heavenly Beasts, were above all other spirit beasts in both strength and inborn Unique Abilities.

While some couldn't because of physical restriction, most  Humanoid Beasts could indeed speak the human tongue. This type of spirit beast was one of them and it was usually called the Ironskin Manrat, as it had appearance similar to that of a humanoid rat and had quite a hard skin, making him quite the dangerous beast if provoked.

"Cheng Hao, you traitorous bastard, did you bring this beast with you so you could beat me with sheer numbers? I never expected such cowardly actions from you..." Goldy chuckled.

Cheng Hao coldly threw the cursing golden snake behind him where it landed headfirst on a pillar.

"Goldy, you should know what to do... " The youth said that, took the yellowish crystal marble from his pocket and turned his head towards the snake "You, Bastard Snake, won't disappoint me will you?" The cold glare made the small dragon tremble and it immediately shot forward.

'This, this is the true Cheng Hao!' Seeing the bloodthirsty aura surrounding the young boy, the snake shivered and hurried towards the exit.

At that Cheng Hao smiled and turned towards the evil beast once again, his bloodthirsty expression turned once again into the 'innocent-child-Cheng-Hao' face "Sorry, did I make you wait?"

"Did you eat something weird before coming here?" The monster was still a bit confused and he seemed to feel pity for the child in front of him.

"Nah, I just had to listen to a small golden snake that wouldn't stop talking for twelve whole hours while running under the fierce sun and passing through swamps and climbing mountains..." the small boy whined.

"Woah man, that sucks!" The Ironskin manrat seemed to feel the pain coming from Cheng Hao as it shrugged its shoulders "You really want to do this man? You could, like, rest a few more hours if you want?"

Cheng Hao suddenly smiled and waved his arm. The golden marble in his hand seemed to melt as it turned into twelve golden crystal longswords which started hovering behind him like twelve bloodthirsty flying beasts. In this world of cultivation, there are many kinds of weapons a person can use.

However, once one reaches a certain level, he will find that simple weapons made out of iron won't be enough. That is why, cultivators created Flying Swords. Made out of countless precious materials, these blades were capable of splitting mountains apart with a single slash!

However, flying swords are extremely expensive and rare! Only experts can afford them, while those low grade flying swords that can be bought on the market are no different than simple blades enhanced with some kind of magic.

Right now, Cheng Hao was using the golden drop of blood as if it were a Flying Sword. As the drop was of extremely high quality, it was way stronger than normal flying swords! Most probably, there was not a single Flying Sword in the whole plane of existence that could keep up with those twelve golden blades!

"Sorry, but I gotta hurry and leave this place before that snake comes back, maybe this way I'll seal it here..." Cheng Hao winked at the Ironskin Manrat.

"I heard youuuuuu! Cheng Hao, you bastard, you dare do what?!?" Goldy's voice could be heard off in the distance.

Even before a battle, Cheng Hao showed no concern and he relaxedly kept bickering with his snake companion on the other side of the room.
