Chapter 771: Venerable Spirit b.u.t.terfly and fussing over every single detail

Just as Yu Jiaojiao said, this ultra-cool extraordinary skill was very useful in melee.

Although it was unknown how strong Yu Jiaojiao’s new claws were, she seemed very satisfied with the final result. In addition, it was possible to upgrade the extraordinary skills obtained through the seeds of the Virtuous Golden Lotus. Even if their strength wasn’t too high in the beginning, it was possible to increase it until it reached the same strength as a G.o.dly weapon.

However, how would the appearance of Yu Jiaojiao’s claws change if she were to use this skill in her human form in the future?

Would her ten fingernails become longer and sharper? Or would it be more like Wolverine from the X-Men, with her sharp claws emerging from the back of her hands?

Wolvejiao? It sounded quite cool!

Several minutes later.

Song Shuhang wielded Meteor Sword and teamed up with Su Clan’s Sixteen and Yu Jiaojiao again, starting to hunt down the demons of the Fourth Stage.

While killing demons, the trio approached Riverly Purple Mist and Medicine Master, telling them via secret sound transmission about those matters related to the ‘Sinful Black Lotus in the Netherworld Realm’ and the ‘Virtuous Golden Lotus in the scholarly faction’ that Song Shuhang had discovered earlier.

Medicine Master and Riverly Purple Mist also used the same method to transmit these two pieces of information to the other members of the Nine Provinces Number One Group, urging the various fellow daoists to pay more attention and not get careless.

Beyond that, the speed at which Song Shuhang’s team was killing the demons of the Fourth Stage had returned to the previous level, when they ma.s.sacred 200 demons of the Fourth Stage in ten minutes.

It wasn’t that the demons of the Fourth Stage had poor memory… the reason was that the group of demons that had seen Song Shuhang’s team in action earlier had already turned into the spoils of war of the scholars. They were wrapped up and delivered to the ‘unholy pond’, becoming the food of the Virtuous Golden Lotus.

Those demons died so quickly because the scholarly faction deployed a large number of battle puppets within the filtering nets. These battle puppets were produced by the Jet-Black Sect, and their quality was superb. As long as the spirit stones that these battle puppets were using as a source of energy weren’t completely depleted, and their bodies weren’t thoroughly destroyed, they would keep fighting. Even if only their core was left, they could self-destruct and die together with the enemy. They were quite scary.

All the demons of the Fourth Stage present in this level were thrown out of the bodies of those demonic hives of the Eighth Stage just recently.

Therefore, they were completely unaware of how high Song Shuhang, Su Clan’s Sixteen, and Yu Jiaojiao’s efficiency was while killing demons.

When they saw Song Shuhang (a weak human of the Third Stage Realm) and Su Clan’s Sixteen (another weak human of the Third Stage Realm) rush into the level of the demons of the Fourth Stage under Yu Jiaojiao’s leaders.h.i.+p (a female monster of the Fourth Stage Realm), all the surrounding demons were rather happy.

The Netherworld Realm was a place where strength was everything. As such, these two little flowers deserved to die in their hands.

Thereupon, the newly arrived demons of the Netherworld roared and charged toward Song Shuhang’s team, fighting to be the first ones to kill this team composed of two weak members and another that was just average.

However, even though crus.h.i.+ng a little flower wasn’t difficult… things would change if the little flower was wearing a set of steel armor; crus.h.i.+ng it wouldn’t be as easy as before.

Eventually, that crowd of demons of the Fourth Stage that rushed toward Song Shuhang’s team was completely killed.

The battlefield was again littered with corpses, and demon blood was flowing copiously.

In the rear, Lady Onion’s hands had become numb from picking up the spoils of war.

“It’s going pretty well! Perhaps we can get four lotus seeds once again,” Yu Jiaojiao said.

“I’m of the same idea,” Su Clan’s Sixteen said.

Song Shuhang faintly smiled. Then, he looked southeast, and his expression turned grave.

“Shuhang, what happened?” Su Clan’s Sixteen asked.

“That old scholar finally appeared… it seems that the scholarly faction is preparing to take down those demonic hives of the Eighth Stage,” Song Shuhang replied via secret sound transmission.

By following Song Shuhang’s gaze, one could see an old scholar with white hair and a white beard stepping in the air and heading toward the outermost layer of the filtering nets, where the demonic hives of the Eighth Stage were gathered.

Soon after, Venerable Tornado—who was bullying the demons of the Sixth Stage in their respective level—suddenly stopped, and seemingly started to chat with someone via secret sound transmission. After a short moment, Venerable Tornado obtained the answer he wanted, and followed behind the old scholar with the s.p.a.ce Cutting Mother-Child Wheel in hand, heading toward the outermost level of the filtering nets together with him.

At the same time—in the depths of the White Cloud Academy—a few scholars with smiling faces and resolute eyes jumped upward, das.h.i.+ng toward the old scholar.

Their movements attracted the attention of all those present.

Song Shuhang couldn’t make out the strength of the old scholar or those other cultivators of the scholarly faction in the rear… but since the old scholar planned to kill those demonic hives of the Eighth Stage, their strength should be at the Eighth Stage Realm or above.

“Eighth Stage Profound Sages that have shown their divinity in front of the ma.s.ses… a battle of this scale is rarely seen even in a thousand years. If we can personally witness a battle of this level, we might obtain a lot of benefits,” a cultivator helping the White Cloud Academy said with an expectant look on his face.

“But will those filtering nets that the scholars arranged earlier be able to withstand the shock waves of a battle between Eighth Stage Profound Sages?” Some cultivators were worried.

A battle of the ‘Eighth Stage Profound Sage’ rank already surpa.s.sed the concept of ‘overturning mountains and seas’. If the people involved in this battle went all out, their attacks would be as destructive as atomic bombs. If several of these attacks were launched in rapid succession, the entire White Cloud Academy would be reduced to ashes.

“They should be able to resist. Otherwise, the scholarly disciples in the upper levels would have evacuated already,” someone replied.

Nonetheless, a lot of cultivators started to leave the filtering nets after swiftly killing the demons they were fighting against and collecting their corpses. They didn’t want to get involved in this battle of the ‘Eighth Stage Profound Sage’ rank.

“Shuhang, should we continue killing demons?” Su Clan’s Sixteen asked while holding her short saber. At the same time, she slightly opened her lips, and a sharp streak of saber qi shot out of her mouth, cutting off one arm of a demon of the Fourth Stage right in front of them.

Sixteen was getting better and better at using this extraordinary skill that allowed her to shoot saber qi from her mouth. Now, she could already compress several streaks of saber qi together and shoot them out all at once. The saber qi was sharp enough to cut the body of a demon of the Fourth Stage—although a weakened one.
