# Chapter 387: Figure in the Mountain Range
## Ancient Ferocious Beast, Qiongqi
A strange glimmer flashed through Lin Feng's pupils. The Crimson Flame Demon Tiger was merely a subspecies of the Qiongqi, yet it possessed limitless potential, possibly even becoming a Heavenly Demon. How great would the Qiongqi's potential be then?
Moreover, this Qiongqi bore the name of a ferocious beast. Its strength must surely be formidable as well.
While Lin Feng was sizing up the ferocious beast Qiongqi, the Qiongqi was also staring at him, its gaze flickering with traces of murderous light—bloodthirsty and eerie.
"Whoosh"
A fiery red phantom streaked past, causing Lin Feng's pupils to contract sharply. His feet trembled, and his body spun abruptly.
"Rip..."
Blood sprayed through the air. The clothes on Lin Feng's chest tore apart, revealing his flesh, which was split open with streaks of fresh blood dripping down.
Cold sweat broke out on his back. Lin Feng had no time to tend to the wound on his chest; his gaze was fixed firmly on the Qiongqi.
How terrifying!
Only now did Lin Feng realize what a dreadful mistake he had made. Facing the ferocious beast Qiongqi, he had only felt excitement and forgotten to stay on guard. An ancient ferocious beast wouldn't play games with him slowly—it had lunged straight at him, leaving a bloody mark on his body.
"Ooo..." A low, deep beastly roar rang out, as if coming from the Nine Netherworlds, cold and wolf-like, sending an ever-growing chill through Lin Feng's body.
"Whoosh" The fiery phantom appeared again. This time, Lin Feng was already alert and stepped aside to dodge. However, as the Qiongqi passed by him, its fiery red wings suddenly tilted and trembled. Its massive body twisted completely around, continuing to pounce at Lin Feng in one fluid motion—fast, fierce, and ruthless, far more agile than any human.
Lin Feng's pupils contracted. He couldn't dodge. The Qiongqi's agility and speed were too terrifying. Even knowing the trajectory of the ferocious beast's movement, he still couldn't evade.
Yang Fire True Yuan burst forth instantly, and flames surged fiercely toward the Qiongqi. But the Qiongqi acted as if it hadn't seen them, charging straight into the fire. The flames scattered, and Lin Feng's body retreated wildly.
"Boom"
"Crack"
The sound of bones splitting rang out. A trickle of crimson blood flowed from the corner of Lin Feng's mouth. His body crashed into one large tree after another, the rumbling sounds echoing continuously.
Stomping his foot on the ground, Lin Feng rooted his legs into the earth, halting his body. He stared fixedly at the ferocious beast Qiongqi, which was slowly walking toward him.
By now, Lin Feng could confirm that this ferocious beast Qiongqi was at the same cultivation level as him—a first-grade Mysterious Demon. But whether in speed or strength, it was perfectly balanced. Its terrifying speed alone left Lin Feng far behind, utterly incomparable.
This also made Lin Feng realize that speed was indeed his weakness. But that only made him want to obtain this ancient ferocious beast even more.
Purple light burst forth as his martial soul materialized, transforming into purple serpents that lunged at the Qiongqi. Lin Feng wanted to test just how powerful this ancient ferocious beast truly was.
The Qiongqi's steps were slow. It merely stared at its prey, Lin Feng, advancing unhurriedly with murderous intent fully exposed, allowing the purple serpents to coil around its body.
"Sizzle..." Its fiery wings flickered, turning into streaks of flame light that slashed the purple serpents apart. The ferocious beast Qiongqi remained completely unaffected, still walking toward Lin Feng.
"What a formidable beast."
After splitting, the purple serpents' power had diminished significantly. For many martial cultivators, they could at least restrict movement, but against the Qiongqi, they were utterly useless.
"You are mine." A gleam of excitement flashed in Lin Feng's eyes. The more powerful the Qiongqi was, the more exhilarated he became.
Heaven Devour appeared, Azure Dragons roared. Seven Azure Dragons swayed in the void behind Lin Feng, especially the one in the middle. Unlike the other six, its face was twisted and eerie—it was the Witch Demon Soul.
The Qiongqi glanced at the appearing Azure Dragons. A hint of surprise flickered in its massive pupils. Its four hooves stopped, and its right front hoof began pawing at the ground.
"Whoosh"
The Qiongqi's body turned into a phantom once more, its wings spreading wide, dazzlingly beautiful.
"Roar..." Several Azure Dragon cries rang out. The heads of six Azure Dragons lunged straight at the Qiongqi, instantly biting down on its massive body from different angles.
"Ooo" The Qiongqi let out a furious roar. The ferocious light in its pupils was enough to shake one's soul. The spike-like fur on its back stood up, turning into blades that stabbed into the Azure Dragons. At the same time, a sky-burning flame blazed wildly across the Qiongqi's body.
"Ooo..."
The Qiongqi raised its head and howled, as if trying to break free from its restraints. The sound traveled far and wide. Its fiery body charged forward, dragging the six Azure Dragons along with it, unstoppable.
"Damn it."
Lin Feng muttered under his breath. This Qiongqi's roar would likely attract many powerful demonic beasts.
The ancient ferocious beast was too terrifying. Lin Feng had never seen a demonic beast so ferocious before.
Was this first-grade Mysterious Beast too terrifying?
The seventh Azure Dragon howled as it arrived before the Qiongqi. From the Witch Demon Soul, an eerie light burst forth, causing the Qiongqi's body to tremble violently, as if its soul no longer belonged to itself.
Its massive pupils seemed to be gradually falling into submission. This eerie light was trying to make it surrender completely. How could an ancient ferocious beast submit?
"Ooo"
Raising its head and howling to the sky, the Qiongqi's murderous aura grew heavier and heavier. Damn human, trying to control it! How could the Qiongqi not be enraged?
A terrifying radiance burst forth. The Qiongqi's wings expanded, becoming incredibly sharp, slicing through the Azure Dragon heads. Its body struggled wildly, charging toward Lin Feng.
"Boom" The Azure Dragons could no longer withstand the Qiongqi's terrifying power and were shaken off. Seeing this, Lin Feng's pupils contracted sharply. This ancient ferocious beast was too violent!
Withdrawing his martial soul, Lin Feng leaped into the air. The Qiongqi passed beneath him, its wings gleaming with eerie light, cutting through the space.
He couldn't handle it. Even the Heaven Devour martial soul, combined with the Witch Demon Soul, couldn't deal with the Qiongqi. Its strength was too terrifying.
"Little Qiong, who made you angry?"
Just then, a voice rang out, making Lin Feng's whole body tremble. He had been so focused on the Qiongqi that he hadn't noticed someone approaching.
Looking into the distance, he saw a middle-aged man in white robes walking over slowly, a smile on his lips. But that smile carried a hint of eerie, demonic aura.
Seeing this figure, the Qiongqi's proud head lowered slightly, and it ran toward the middle-aged man in white.
Arriving beside the man, the Qiongqi circled around his body before crouching down, as if everything had nothing to do with it.
"Little Qiong, you sneaked out again."
The middle-aged man in white shook his head with a smile. The Qiongqi's head drooped even lower.
Crouching down, the man in white stroked the Qiongqi's fur, as if caressing a lover, very gently.
Lin Feng stood still, his brows tightly furrowed. A human? Deep in this demonic beast mountain range, there was actually a human? And this human seemed to be the Qiongqi's master.
Too shocking. Lin Feng's gaze flickered uncertainly. He couldn't see through this middle-aged man in white, whose eyes were eerie yet whose demeanor was so calm. He had no idea why this person would appear in the depths of the demonic beast mountain range.
Moreover, it seemed as if the man in white was a native of this mountain range.
"Little Qiong, don't run around anymore next time."
The middle-aged man in white seemed a bit annoyed. He said this, then looked up at Lin Feng, a faint smile on his lips, appearing very approachable.
"Friend, you're from outside, right?" The middle-aged man in white asked casually. Lin Feng nodded.
"You like my Little Qiong?" The man in white continued, "Since you've come from afar, if you fancy something else in the mountain range, I could make the decision to give it to you. But Little Qiong is my best friend; he can't leave me."
"I was being reckless. I didn't know the demonic beast Qiongqi was your companion." Lin Feng shook his head slightly.
"It's fine. If you don't mind, would you like to visit my dwelling? I can show you the beautiful scenery of this mountain range."
The middle-aged man in white shook his head with a smile, seemingly without any resentment. Lin Feng couldn't see through him at all.
Lin Feng, of course, didn't know what martial soul the other person had, nor how powerful his cultivation was. But since he could tame the Qiongqi, his strength must be formidable.
