Chapter 888 Forcibly Seizing Iron, Regardless of This or That
Chapter 888 Forcibly Seizing Iron, Regardless of This or That
"Oh? What a coincidence."
Behind a bamboo grove, Ye Kang looked ahead with a strange expression.
He was the first to discover Chunmo's existence.
Although Ye Kang's cultivation level was only at the first stage, the strength of his accumulated soul was extremely powerful. In addition, he cultivated the top-tier Taiqing Wushang Tongtian Gong, which was on par with the inherited techniques of those top sects.
Therefore, the range of his divine sense perception far exceeds that of ordinary Nirvana.
Although Chunmo was a third-stage cultivator, under the suppression of the blessed land's rules, his perception was inferior to Ye Kang's.
Ye Kang did not act rashly, but waited silently.
At this moment, Chunmo had already discovered some clues.
He took out a golden hair, held it between his two fingers, and with a flash of light, the hair swayed gently, pointing in one direction.
"Hmph, luckily I have the fur of the Life-Chasing Sable that my father gave me. This beast is best at tracking other demonic beasts and is extremely sensitive to demonic energy. No matter how cunning a demon is, even if it has cleared away the traces of demonic energy, it cannot escape the Life-Chasing Sable's tracking."
Chunmo raised her chin, looking very confident.
Although he couldn't sense it himself, the Life-Chasing Sable's fur was very effective, and it quickly marked the source of the demonic energy.
"It's a pity it's not a living Life-Chasing Weasel. I can only detect its demonic aura, but I can't determine its cultivation level. I can only give it a try first."
Without hesitation, Chunmo immediately concealed his aura and tracked after the demonic energy.
The bamboo forest was enormous. It took Chunmo a full incense stick's time to follow it before he finally arrived at a towering mountainside.
The area is still dominated by bamboo forests, but a giant waterfall hangs from the mountaintop, cascading down and washing the downstream stone slabs smooth and shiny.
Chunmo narrowed his eyes, immediately retracted his fur, then his true energy surged, and his right fist slammed into the waterfall.
With a loud bang, the fist's shadow cut off the waterfall, revealing a dark, gaping pit behind it.
Then, a pair of blood-red lanterns suddenly lit up, accompanied by a horrifying chewing sound.
Chunmo chuckled wickedly and shouted, "Come out! With such a paltry skill of hiding, who do you think you're going to make laugh out loud?"
Indeed, a demon was hiding behind the waterfall. He shrunk his size and tried his best to conceal his demonic aura, but he was still seen through at a glance.
Seeing that there was no way to avoid it, the demon could only sigh and slowly walk out.
Soon, a gaunt bear figure appeared, its body black and white, covered in wounds, and even its legs were slightly twisted and crippled.
Clearly, only in a dark and hopeless prison could such irreversible damage be caused.
Seeing this, Chunmo felt no pity whatsoever, only intense excitement.
"Luckily, it's actually a first-to-second-stage Iron-Eating Beast. This demonic soul should rightfully belong to me!"
That's right, this bear-like demon is the iron-eating beast that Ye Kang is looking for.
He revealed his ferocious claws, holding a bundle of green bamboo in one hand and a piece of iron ore in the other.
With iron ore as its staple food and green bamboo as a seasoning, the Iron-Eating Beast recovers a bit of its vitality with each bite.
Unfortunately, he was found before he could fully recover.
At this moment, his anger reached its peak.
"Disgraceful humans! How dare you insult me like this! We were imprisoned and tortured for over a hundred years for merely stealing one of your mines, and now you want to release us for your amusement? This is outrageous!"
The Iron-Eating Beast Demon King roared and instantly threw the iron ore in his hand, smashing it fiercely towards Chun Mo.
The latter easily dodged with a casual flick of his wrist, then raised his fists and unleashed two bursts of energy while laughing loudly.
"You mere demon, how dare you spout such nonsense! You deserve to die!"
The shockwaves from the two punches were incredibly fast, immediately striking the Iron-Eating Beast and sending it flying.
Demon blood spurted out, and the Iron-Eating Beast let out a mournful howl before tumbling helplessly to the ground.
It seems that he had lost his fighting instincts due to not having fought for too long.
Chunmo seized the opportunity, leaped up suddenly, and slammed his fists together towards the head of the Iron-Eating Beast.
"Mountain-splitting divine power!"
"roll!"
The Iron-Eating Beast gritted its teeth and slammed its right fist into its stomach. As if triggering some kind of switch, countless iron elements suddenly flowed out of its body, transforming into an iron shield that forcefully blocked the punch.
But Chunmo remained calm. If one punch was blocked, he would just throw a few more!
I am the most powerful boxer in Wuyin City!
Boom boom boom!
His fists kept pounding down, accompanied by Chunmo's maniacal laughter.
"Come again, come again!"
"Fists are a man's romance! Women use weapons!"
Bang!
The shield could not withstand such a fierce attack and finally shattered. The Iron-Eating Beast turned pale and was drenched in sweat.
"Damn it! If I had a few days to recover, I wouldn't have been taken down by this idiot so easily..."
The Iron-Eating Beast was extremely unwilling, because the torture had caused its strength to plummet. If it had just a few more days, with its innate abilities, it would surely have been able to smash this arrogant bastard to pieces!
Just as the final punch was about to land, suddenly, a bolt of lightning struck down.
Chunmo's eyes widened, and without hesitation, she turned around and threw a punch.
The lightning struck down simultaneously, sending him flying.
"who!"
Chunmo was furious.
I never expected there would be someone lurking in the shadows, trying to take advantage of me while I was dealing with the demons!
He landed on the ground and, almost without thinking, threw a punch at the Iron-Eating Beast.
Regardless, let's kill the Demon Emperor first and seize his soul!
"Fellow Daoist, wait a moment. This demon is destined to be with me."
The next second, Ye Kang's voice came, and then a pair of iron fists slammed down, actually deflecting Chun Mo's fist on the spot!
A tremendous force surged forth, causing the surrounding air to continuously generate sonic booms due to the impact.
Chunmo looked at her arm in disbelief.
It was actually bounced off!
how can that be!
How could my body, honed day and night, possibly lose! Could it be that my opponent is at least at the sixth level of cultivation?
That's right. Although Chunmo is only at the third level, he is a Body Tempering Martial Artist. If you add his physical cultivation, it is not difficult for him to challenge opponents of higher levels.
Unless one is a martial artist of level six or above, it is impossible for them to crush me so easily!
But the next second, Chunmo was dumbfounded.
As Ye Kang's figure slowly appeared, the change in his aura stunned Chun Mo.
"It's you! You bastard from Wuyang City!"
Chunmo roared in exasperation, he would never forget that face, it was this bastard who cheated him out of one million spirit crystals and a spirit treasure!
I haven't even confronted him yet, and he's already come knocking on my door!
wrong!
"How did this kid find me?! And what the hell is this terrifying body tempering aura?! Is this something a human can achieve?!"
Chunmo is also a body tempering martial artist, so he understands the limits of body tempering the most.
The person in front of me, though he only turned around, had such immense physical strength that it almost materialized. Just standing there, the terrifying physical pressure made me break out in a cold sweat.
This is unreasonable!
But after only a moment's hesitation, Chunmo spun around and lashed out with her right leg, aiming straight for Ye Kang's head.
I don't care about this or that. If you dare to steal my prey, then fight to the death!
Bang!
A scene that shocked Chunmo appeared.
Ye Kang reached out with his right hand and caught Chun Mo's whip kick with ease. This strike, capable of shattering mountains, was caught with ease, and the opponent was completely unharmed!
"Fellow Daoist, since you refuse to heed my advice, then I must offend you."
Ye Kang's voice turned cold, and then he exerted force with his right hand, channeling his immense physical strength to forcibly lift Chun Mo up and slam him heavily to the ground.
Bang!
Dust flew everywhere, and the ground was smashed into a deep crater.
Chunmo felt a sudden dizziness, and then one of her teeth flew out.
"asshole……"
"You dare to talk back?"
Ye Kang wasn't going to be polite. He flicked his wrist again, channeling his physical strength into the attack, instantly dispelling the power that Chun Mo had just gathered.
Seeing that she was completely outmatched, Chunmo felt bitter and could only shout, "I give up!"
"good."
Ye Kang smiled slightly and released his hand.
Chunmo breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly got up, his eyes filled with anger: "You beast from Wuyang City! You just wait, I will never let you get away with this!"
"Ok?"
Ye Kang frowned, then his figure flashed and he instantly appeared behind Chun Mo, throwing a punch at the top of his head.
At that moment, Chunmo felt her consciousness go blank, as if her soul had been blasted away.
But the punch didn't land; instead, it stopped steadily next to Chunmo's ear.
"Fellow Daoist, the beast hair you used just now has a connection with me. Would you be willing to part with it?"
"You...you want to take me away!?"
Chunmo was completely dumbfounded. He never expected that there would be such a shameless bastard in the world!
Doesn't he know that I am a genius of Wuyin City?
"Who told you to threaten me just now? You don't have to give it to me, just crush the jade slip yourself and I won't hit you."
Ye Kang's voice was firm, leaving no room for negotiation.
Chunmo wanted to say something more, but when he turned around and saw Ye Kang's calm eyes, he instantly understood.
This guy is serious!
If I don't give it to him, I'll definitely get beaten up!
I know I can't beat them, so the only option is to crush the teleportation jade slip, but wouldn't that mean I came here for nothing?
Thinking of this, Chunmo took out the life-chasing sable fur with immense frustration.
"Think carefully. This is a treasure bestowed upon me by my father. He won't let you get away with this..."
Ye Kang took the mink hair without hesitation, and then threw Chunmo away.
With the force of the impact, Chunmo was thrown several miles away, which made the other party extremely frustrated. He shouted in the air, "You beast!"
"I don't care about this or that. Do you think your Wuyin City's power can control the people of my Wuyang City?"
Ye Kang didn't care at all and put away the Life-Chasing Sable hair with satisfaction. He had seen Chun Mo use it before, and this thing was indeed quite powerful, able to help him quickly locate the demons.
As soon as true energy was poured in, the information about the Life-Chasing Sable entered the mind. This thing was not a treasure, so it naturally did not have a soul imprint, and its usage was very simple.
After Ye Kang put it away, he turned to look at the dying iron-eating beast.
The latter quickly said, "Thank you for saving my life..."
"Save you? Are you kidding me?"
Boom!
The demonic and supernatural powers unleashed a blast of poisonous wind, which, combined with the immense strength of the physical body, penetrated the iron-eating beast's body.
Then, a mark automatically detached from the demon soul, landed on Ye Kang's arm, transformed into a totem, and attached itself to his sleeve.
No matter what methods are used, this mark cannot be hidden.
Ye Kang didn't care. Then, with a thought, the Demon Furnace instantly devoured the remaining demon corpses and demon souls.
This was Ye Kang's primary objective.
It should be noted that since he went into seclusion, he has rarely practiced the Immortal Demon Diagram.
Of course, the Spider King he had previously devoured had been refined and transformed into a catalog, which in turn fed him a massive amount of body-tempering power.
That's why his physical body is so powerful, allowing him to easily crush Chunmo.
But that's not enough. The number of illustrations is still too small, especially at the Nirvana Realm, where each transformation brings a huge boost. Dealing with late-stage Nirvana Realm warriors won't be so easy for me.
We must take advantage of the Demon Emperor's weakness during this period to seize as many opportunities as possible.
At the same time, the system sounded.
【Ding】
[Congratulations, host, on completing the mission: The Bamboo Forest Beast]
[Host receives the following rewards: 2000000 Comprehension Points, 1 chance to upgrade Demonic Abilities]
Upon receiving the reward, Ye Kang quickly checked it.
With three million remaining comprehension points, it should be enough for me to undergo another Nirvana.
And the sooner you take advantage of the opportunity to enhance your supernatural abilities, the better.
Ye Kang pondered for a moment. Although the snake molt and the Annihilation Immortal Ring were still his most important trump cards, what could truly help him at the moment was a supernatural power with real-time combat strength.
For example, the Two-Qi Poison Wind I just used was a divine ability I obtained after killing the Wild Boar Demon King. It is one of the few combat-type demonic divine abilities I possess.
"System, enhance the second-level poisonous wind."
【Ding】
[Host enhances using supernatural powers]
[Supernatural power upgrade complete. Congratulations, host, on obtaining the new Two-Qi Poison Wind.]
【Secondary Poisonous Wind: Retains the original wondrous power of the poisonous wind, further enhancing its might. It can blow upon all living things, melting even the toughest, causing their poison to attack their very core. It also gains a special attack against divine weapons; the poisonous wind can adhere to divine weapons, corroding their bodies and corrupting their spirits.】
Looking at the brand-new supernatural power, Ye Kang couldn't help but smile.
"What a magical power!"
Now that I truly possess powerful combat abilities, I can not only deal with demons but also with the divine weapons of human martial artists. No matter how powerful your divine weapon is, let me corrode it first, and then I'll disgust whoever comes near me.
Ye Kang laughed heartily, making no attempt to conceal the aura of his supernatural power.
On the one hand, everyone in this blessed land is a genius; they only possess innate talents and supernatural abilities, and it's estimated that about 20% of them have them.
On the other hand, the barrier light screen is only so big, and with his cultivation level so low, people outside definitely won't pay attention to him, let alone worry about him.
Once Ye Kang understood this, he felt no pressure and then went into the bamboo forest, finding a place to begin cultivating.
In this place, strength is everything. Now that you have the comprehension, you can't wait a moment longer.
He's going to break through again!
……
As it turned out, Ye Kang's idea was correct.
Whether it's him, Chunmo, or the Iron-Eating Beast, they're all just weaklings in the early stages of Nirvana.
The Holy Emperor outside wouldn't pay any special attention to it.
At this moment, the two princes were the ones who deserved their most attention.
On the light screen, the scene inside the blessed land was being displayed.
The Ninth Prince, Wu Jiuyuan, has directly encountered a powerful demon emperor who has reached the eighth stage of Nirvana.
Without further ado, a fierce battle broke out, instantly drawing cheers from the crowd.
However, the two soon parted ways, the Demon Emperor fled, and the Ninth Prince did not pursue him.
Seeing this, the Holy Emperor said indifferently, "This little Jiu is truly exasperating."
The ministers standing nearby looked puzzled.
Seeing this, the Imperial Advisor smiled and explained, "The Ninth Prince is the most upright and honorable. He had the opportunity to kill him just now, but he deliberately held back. I think he didn't want to gain an advantage and wanted to let the demon recover his cultivation before having a fair and square battle."
The ministers then realized what was going on and began to praise the Ninth Prince.
But the Holy Emperor shook his head: "Little Nine, if you let him go, this prey will no longer be yours..."
