Chapter 495 - The Battle for the Monster Pill (1/2)

Xiao Chen and the others walked through the endless mountains and aged forests. Along the way, they encountered seven or eight high-tier Demonic Beast, all of which were successfully killed. However, one Demon wolf beast had self-destructed its Internal Elixir, nearly hurting Yang Qing and the others.

It was worth mentioning that Demonic Beasts were different from Demons. Demons were from a race that was leftover from ancient times. They were as intelligent as humans, and their abilities were better than humans in all aspects, especially their life span was much longer than humans’.

Demonic Beasts were some mutated beasts that had absorbed the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth. Most of them were bloodthirsty and cruel, fed on ordinary beasts or humans. Therefore, Demonic Beasts and Demon had to be distinct. They were not of the same and could not be mixed as one single thing.

But now, most people had already regarded the two as one thing, especially ordinary people, who were full of hatred and fear for Demons. They thought that Demons were brutal, bloodthirsty, treacherous, and deceitful. In fact, they were not. Most Demons were very friendly, who also had feelings and hoped to coexist with human beings.

Of course, there were exceptions to everything, just as there were scums among humans. This was also the reason why Demons were viewed as an evil and alien race, harming the common people. Hence, since ancient times, there had been countless cultivators’ sects to eliminate Demons, especially the Shushan Sect, which was one of the major Ancient Immortal Clan cultivators’ sects. They always took the responsibility of killing Demons. When the disciples of Shushan leave the mountain, the reason was mostly to kill the Demons.

On the summit, the two elders were still watching every move in the mountains. The purple-robed elder frowned deeply. When he saw Xiao Chen and the others easily killed seven or eight high-tier Demonic Beasts in such a short time, his expression became more and more solemn. The efficiency of these people was even higher than that of several groups of disciples who participated in the competition under his sect.

On the other hand, the green-robed elder was very relaxed and even wanted to sing. He thought, “Anyway, my Heaven Heart Pavilion will lose to Pure Mind Sect every time, and can’t even fight against them. If the Pure Mind Sect loses to a few outsiders this time, it will be really interesting. Let’s see what they can boast about this time.”

The more he thought about it this way, the more carefree the green-robed elder felt. The purple-robed elder’s expression was solemn as he said, “Can these people be disciples from the sects in the great realm… who have been sent out to train?”

After that, the purple-robed old man thought for a while, then he shook his head and said, “No, I have to go down and have a look.”

“This won’t do.” The green-robed elder hurriedly stopped him. “During the competition, other than the disciples and Lead Elder, we can’t go down. Don’t break the rules.”

···

Xiao Chen and the others were still in the woods. Two hours later, they had already collected more than a dozen Internal Elixir of Demonic Beasts, but Xiao Chen kept feeling that there was a faint aura lingering around them. It seemed that they had been spying on him and the others, which made him feel a little uncomfortable all the time.

“Brother Yang, if that’s enough, let’s go.”

Yang Qing turned around, with a little surprise on his face. “Now?”

At present, it was just in the season of Demonic Beast’s appearance, and these Monster Pills were valuable. If they were to leave now, it would be a pity. He even wanted to stay here for a night and continue to hunt the beasts to get more pills tomorrow. Then, he would sell them in the city. At least, he would not have to worry about the lack of money during the recent period.

When they were talking, a burning hurricane suddenly came. Wherever the hurricane passed, the grass and trees quickly withered. Everyone looked shocked. Looking back, they saw fire shooting up to the sky, and a huge Demonic Beast suddenly flew out from the raging flames.

The Demonic Beast was huge. Its eyes were as bright as a lamp, and its wings grew on its ribs. Its wings were burning with raging flames, and they were spread open to about 50 to 60 feet long.

“It’s the Flame-Winged Beast King!” Yang Qing exclaimed. This was a Tier-5 Demonic Beast. It was comparable to a human expert at the peak of the Nirvana Realm. Moreover, it was of an expert at the peak of the Nirvana Realm who was not created by Immortals’ League’s medicinal pill.

“Get out of the way!” Xiao Chen shouted in a hurry and immediately pushed the crowd away. With a loud bang, the forest behind him was burned in an instant. The hot airwaves rushed over as if they were going to roast these people.

“Let’s go!” Xiao Chen did not think too much. Right now, this Tier-5 Beast King was not something they could fight against. Just as they were about to leave, the Flame-winged Beast King caught up with them like lightning. It let out a shrill whistle and suddenly turned into a sea of fire in the air. A large blaze swept toward the crowd.

Xiao Chen had no choice but to turn around and pushed out his palms at the same time. Suddenly, the dragon’s roar shook the sky, and the low-tier Demonic Beasts within the five-kilometer radius fled in panic.

It was the fifth move of the Dragon Roar Palm, the Ice Dragon’s Roar. Two 15 feet long blue ice dragons rushed toward the Flame-Winged Beast King in the sky and managed to defend for a while. The two palm strength condensed into the mystical ice, temporarily wrapping the Beast King’s wings.

“Get going!” Xiao Chen shouted at the people behind him. However, Chu Qi leaped, her figure flashed and stepped on the two rows of ice formed by him to assassinate the Beast King.

The Beast King roared and suddenly spurted fire from its mouth. Chu Qi instantly blocked the incoming flames with the Full Moon Blade, but she was pushed back by this ferocious force.

“Bang, bang!” With two crisp sounds, the two rows of ice that Xiao Chen had created were also shattered by the Beast King. In the blink of an eye, a large number of flames attacked the crowd again. Yang Qing and the others had no choice but to condense a barrier to resist.

The wind on the mountain peak was cold. The two elders focused their attention on their battle with the Beast King. The green-robed elder smiled and said, “This brat is not too bad with the magic spells. He is able to rely on palm strength to form the Mystic Ice. Have you seen such a Method before?”

The purple-robed elder remained silent. Moments later, he said, “This kid should have reached the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm. Otherwise, he won’t be able to trap the Beast King. Alas…” In the end, he let out a deep sigh. His eldest disciple, Liu Qing, was also at the peak of the Nascent Soul Realm. However, compared to this kid, he was probably weaker.

In the woods, after 30 minutes, they finally injured the Flame-winged Beast King with Xiao Chen’s Roar of Ice Dragon Spirits after a bitter struggle. But they also looked a little like a drowned mouse. Yang Qing and the others’ clothes were burned in many places, and even their hair curled from the burn.
