After the Small Cage Array was set up, layers of suppressive power from the array exerted on every inch of land within its range.
This caused the grass, flowers, and other vegetation to be directly pressed into the soil, creating a chaotic scene.
The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi inside the array appeared to be closer to the ground.
At this moment, any Qi Cultivator who enters the array would be unable to use the Wind Manipulation Technique to fly.
Here, all flying techniques are restricted and ineffective.
The Cloud Stepping Beast itself cannot fly and has not grown wings.
Now covered by the force of the cage, it’s like a fish in a barrel, unable to escape even with wings.
All twenty-three Cloud Stepping Beasts, without exception, were under the suppression of the array power, each becoming panic-stricken, letting out cries, struggling, realizing that danger was imminent. Thɪs chapter is updatᴇd by novel{f}ire.net
The most immediate and most affected are the three Cloud Stepping Beast cubs.
Due to their weak constitution and lack of power, their combat strength is like that of a domestic dog, where two were instantly suppressed and forced to lie down on the ground.
One of them could not stand stably and simply rolled over, unable to get up despite trying hard, appearing very strenuous.
Compared to these three young cubs, the situation of the other adult Cloud Stepping Beasts was also quite difficult, one by one as if stuck in a quagmire, unable to move extensively.
They let out waves of cries, looking toward Lu Changfeng and other Human Race Cultivators, with eyes mixed with dissatisfaction and chaos.
Catch the leader first to take down the whole gang.
As the array exerted its effect, Lu Changfeng’s target was, first of all, the Cloud-Stepping Beast King.
First, control it to disrupt the order of the beast pack, making it easier to capture them.
Under the influence of the Small Cage Array, all Cloud Stepping Beasts had their strength suppressed a bit.
A Cloud Stepping Beast at the Sixth-Layer Qi Cultivation now could only exert the power equivalent to the Third-Layer Qi Cultivation.
The other Cloud Stepping Beasts were also the same.
The array’s effect is manifested in this way.
Although nine disciples outside the array were merely setting it up and would not take part in capturing the Cloud Stepping Beasts inside.
In fact, they were doing their utmost to greatly reduce the strength of these Cloud Stepping Beasts, making it convenient for Lu Changfeng and Lu Xuelian to capture them.
"Leave the Beast King to me, the other Cloud Stepping Beasts are not a threat, you take care of them!"
With a loud shout, Lu Changfeng wiped his right hand over the storage bag, took out a silver net-shaped magical artifact, and immediately controlled it, attacking the Cloud-Stepping Beast King.
This magical artifact was refined from the body of a Tier Two Middle Grade Tiger Demon by Lu Zhiwei, named the Cloud-Binding Net, with a tier reaching Tier Two Middle Grade.
Its biggest use, as the name suggests, is to bind the enemy, belonging to the same type as Song Minghui’s Black Gold Celestial Net.
As Lu Changfeng infused magical power into the Cloud-Binding Net, he threw it forward, immediately spreading like an octopus to a size of five or six meters, covering the Cloud-Stepping Beast King.
The Cloud-Stepping Beast King’s temperament is very fierce and unyielding, having long since become accustomed to being in the position of Beast King, behaving somewhat arrogantly.
Upon witnessing the large net approaching to capture him, a look of human-like anger appeared in its eyes.
With a long cry, it moved its hooves, dodging against the cage’s array power.
Even suppressed by the array, its mobility greatly reduced.
Yet its speed was still not slow, successfully avoiding the covering range of the large net and dodging away.
"Dodging quite nimbly!"
Missing the strike, allowing the opponent to escape, Lu Changfeng narrowed his eyes slightly, giving a cold hum.
"Take another hit from me!"
Controlling the Cloud-Binding Net again, it rose from the ground, aiming at the direction where the Cloud-Stepping Beast King was for a second capture attempt.
This action once again provoked the anger of the Cloud-Stepping Beast King.
It stamped its front hooves on the ground, causing Lu Changfeng to think it was about to run and evade.
For a time, the large net wasn’t hastily thrown, waiting to see which direction the opponent would run before capturing.
Unexpectedly, the next moment came swirling Spiritual Qi, and the earth churned.
The area in front of the Cloud-Stepping Beast King, where the beast hooves stepped, the soil churned violently like waves.
Earth spikes suddenly broke through from the rolling soil, stabbing toward Lu Changfeng.
The Cloud Stepping Beast itself is an Earth Attribute Spirit Beast, possessing control advantage over soil, naturally able to summon Earth Spiritual Qi for attacks.
"What, it’s angry now!"
Witnessing the Cloud-Stepping Beast King initiating an attack, much fiercer than the Cloud Stepping Beasts leased previously, Lu Changfeng squinted his eyes, disregarding the control of the Cloud-Binding Net, his battle intent surging.
He remained calm in the face of adversity, summoned the Sun and Moon Heaven and Earth Sword.
The Sun and Moon Heaven and Earth Sword unsheathed, bursting forth with bright sword light that stared into the eyes, controlling the Flying Sword to strike out toward the soil spikes.
These earth spikes were each as big as an arm, with a number reaching over ten.
It’s hard to imagine that the usually gentle-natured Cloud Stepping Beast would also launch such an attack.
If unable to withstand the attack of these earth spikes, it might directly spell disaster here.
Several clangs sounded.
The Sun and Moon Heaven and Earth Sword was exceedingly sharp, instantly slicing through the earth spikes powerfully, unable to harm Lu Changfeng.
Seeing a missed strike, the Cloud-Stepping Beast King let out another long cry, manipulating the surrounding Earth Element Spiritual Qi to mobilize the earth spikes for another attack.
Lu Changfeng was passive, wielding the sword again to cut through, smoothly neutralizing it.
These earth spikes, though appearing fierce and formidable, were actually not threatening to Lu Changfeng, equivalent to the power of Qi Cultivation Seventh Level.
Not only that, after defending against the earth spikes, the Sun and Moon Heaven and Earth Sword resonated in the air, slightly changing direction, slashing fiercely at the Cloud-Stepping Beast King.
This action of the Cloud Stepping Beast also aroused Lu Changfeng’s anger.
Against the flying sword slash, the Cloud-Stepping Beast King, also enraged, dodged under the array power, kicking up gusts of wind, demonstrating agile movement.
Around, the other Cloud Stepping Beasts that could move were moving, while those who couldn’t were forced to lie down, becoming vulnerable.
Lu Xuelian’s cultivation reached the Fourth-Layer Qi Cultivation, normally, she wouldn’t fight against a Cloud Stepping Beast with a higher realm than hers.
But don’t forget, with the Small Cage Array present, except for that Cloud-Stepping Beast King, no other Cloud Stepping Beast could threaten Lu Xuelian.
While Lu Changfeng dealt with the Cloud-Stepping Beast King, she relied on her expertise in Beast Control, performing a series of small magic techniques, knocking out surrounding Cloud Stepping Beasts.
Packing them onto the Flying Ship later.
Looking at Lu Changfeng’s side, the Cloud-Stepping Beast King’s temperament remained fierce, even though it couldn’t withstand Lu Changfeng, several times frightened by the Flying Sword, it was still struggling and resisting.
Until it was ensnared by the Cloud-Binding Net and bound to the ground, still attempting to stand up, to break free from the bind.
This behavior made Lu Changfeng somewhat impatient, with the Flying Sword in the air menacingly pointing at the Cloud-Stepping Beast King.
With just a command, he could kill it on the spot.
"Grand Elder, catch them alive, catch them alive, be gentle in your actions..."
Seeing Lu Changfeng grasping the Cloud-Stepping Beast King, with a Flying Sword still hovering over its head, Lu Xuelian, having heard of Lu Changfeng’s fiery temper, was truly afraid this Grand Elder would hastily kill the Cloud-Stepping Beast King.
