Chapter 113: Source? (1/2)
The two seeds rolled in the wooden bowl, but the two Scaled Demons did not fall to the ground. They only looked a little weak.
After spitting out the spiritual root seeds, they knelt on the ground and held the wooden bowl in their hands above their heads. It seemed that they were going to prostrate themselves and offer their spiritual root seeds.
The taller Scaled Demon reached out and grabbed the two seeds before ignoring the two white-haired Scaled Demons.
It walked to the inverted statue and hissed softly. It was unknown if it was chanting some Scaled Demon version of an incantation or just making sounds aimlessly.
However, the change occurred very quickly. Jiang Li noticed that the mouth of the statue actually opened slightly. The two spiritual root seeds floated up and directly entered the statue's mouth.
This was a statue that could actually eat.
The moment the spiritual root seed entered its mouth, the statue immediately glowed slightly.
Soon, a vine grew from the statue and stopped in front of the tall Scaled Demon. Then, two cherry-sized fruits grew out at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Jiang Li was enlightened. It was no wonder his spiritual root seed showed no signs of growing. It turned out that the method he used was wrong.
After the tall Scaled Demon bowed at the statue, it stood up again and reached out to pluck a fruit to eat.
However, at this moment, a red light suddenly appeared in the Scaled Demon's dark cave. The flying sword, Burning Rainbow, instantly arrived. In the blink of an eye, it had already flown in front of the Scaled Demon.
Almost instantly, a turbid water screen suddenly appeared and blocked the flying sword. The Foundation Establishment Scaled Demon roared and was about to give the order to kill the invading enemy!
Pew!
However, the layer of water and the Scaled Demon's bodies were instantly pierced by the scorching light, and it did not have the slightest defensive effect.
No matter what, Shu Mountain Sword Cultivators were reputable existences in the Great Mountain Region. Even if their ordinary sword cultivators were not the strongest among their peers, they were definitely ranked first or second among others of the same realm.
Especially in terms of attack power, very few cultivators could match them.
With the appearance of his flying sword, even the Benevolent Travel Temple's orthodox body cultivators would have to consider whether they could withstand it.
This Scaled Demon did not have any legacy and did not know any spell techniques. It only had an incomplete Qi Refinement technique and relied on its own clansmen to barely reach the Foundation Establishment realm.
If Jiang Li was not wrong, the layer of water screen earlier was clearly a barrier forcefully condensed from muddy spiritual qi. In terms of defense, it was slightly better than nothing.
It was estimated that any powerful Qi Refinement realm sect disciple could easily take it down.
If Jiang Li's flying sword could still be blocked by it, there would be no need for him to cultivate anymore. He should just find a branch to hang himself and end this miserable life.
After stabbing through the Scaled Demon, the flying sword did not stop. The sword glowed red and turned into a stream of light that swam through the cave at high speed, easily reaping lives!
Since he had already achieved his goal, Jiang Li no longer needed to hide. He stood up straight and walked towards the statue not far away.
Every step he took, the flying sword would reap the lives of more than ten Scaled Demons.
Some Scaled Demons noticed the eye-catching Jiang Li, and they roared as they intended to pounce forward.
Unfortunately, the speed of the red stream of light was ten or a hundred times faster than them. It streaked across space and left charred holes in the Scaled Demons.
When Jiang Li walked to the side of the Foundation Establishment Scaled Demon, there were already few living beings in the entire Scaled Demon Cave.
He used his foot to flip over the Foundation Establishment Scaled Demon and kicked the Scaled Demon's lower jaw, breaking it.
Its jaw dropped, revealing a row of sharp teeth that were as sharp as steel needles.
Jiang Li had specially weakened the might of the earlier sword strike, and it did not hit the vital parts. Only then did it barely manage to temporarily survive.
As for why he left it alive, the reason was quite obvious.
A bunch of waste pills were stuffed into its mouth. The heavily injured Scaled Demon quickly twisted and struggled violently.
Its long, black hair also quickly turned white.
Jiang Li checked the other Scaled Demons with cultivation levels. Unfortunately, their vitality was not strong enough, and only three survived.
After going through the procedures, Jiang Li washed the four seeds that were slightly disgusting due to the vomit. After wrapping them with cloth, he stuffed them into his arms.
