Chapter: 1423 (1/2)

AST 1423 – Treasure Hunting Pig’s Transformation, Eighth Level Spiritual Medicinal Beast, Dragon Slaying Beast

Qing Shui was stunned. Her weapon was too mystical, demonic and dripping with blood. It filled people with fear.

Devil Slaying Weapon!

Qing Shui distinctly remembered that when Demon Lord pulled out her sword, the Dragon had called it a Devil Slaying Weapon. Among weapons, there were different grades. Apart from the legendary Artifacts and Divine Artifacts, there were Immortal Artifacts, Demonic Artifacts etc. Devil Slaying Weapons were on par with Divine Artifacts.

All Demonic artifacts had demonic natures. People loved and hated them. Those that loved them gained great power, but those that hated them would be betrayed by them. Demonic Artifacts constantly drained a user’s soul. Those who were not strong enough would be controlled by it instead.

On the same note, those who used Demonic Artifacts frequently tended to hunger for death and blood. They became excessively cruel and violent to the point where they would not recognise friends and family, their personality warped beyond belief. Those betrayed by the Artifact showed these signs as well.

Roar! Roar!

Blue Dragon roared, shaking the heavens. Qing Shui now knew why Demon Lord could fight the multitude of forces from Soaring Dragon Continent on so many fronts. This woman was terrifying.

Or rather, both women were terrifying. Hua Rumei’s weapon was not as strong as Demon Lord’s, but it was made of the same material. It did not lose out much.

Bang!

Treasure Hunting Pig burrowed into Blue Dragon’s body. After becoming Fourth Level Spiritual Medicinal Beast, it’s powers grew, especially in terms of speed. With Demon Lord and Hua Rumei distracting Blue Dragon’s attention, Treasure Hunting Pig managed to continue burrowing into Blue Dragon.

Roar! Roar!

Blue Dragon began to struggle. The violent movements forced Demon Lord and Hua Rumei to temporarily retreat. During that time, Blue Dragon’s massive body was sliced into three pieces, fresh blood pouring out. It was then that Qing Shui took out his instruments and appeared next to Blue Dragon.

Catching Dragon’s Blood!

Both women looked at Qing Shui, speechless. Even though dragon blood was valuable, there was no need to be this cheap!

Qing Shui collected two vats of blood and placed them in the Realm of the Violet Immortal. He took out another two vats, intending to fill them up just as Blue Dragon smashed into the vats and destroyed them, causing Qing Shui to temporarily retreat.

Seeing Hua Rumei look at him with a pondering look on her face, he laughed embarrassingly, “This stuff has too many uses, and it’s difficult to come by.”

“You gave us quite a surprise. You are knowledgeable in so many ways, and very proficient in your knowledge.” Hua Rumei said in a sincere voice.

“You all surprised me more.” Qing Shui laughed, embarrassed. He felt a little nervous earlier, as though he were the protagonist of a story.

“Without you, the princess and I would not have been able to retreat today,” Hua Rumei said. She laughed at Qing Shui’s expression, a sincere laugh with no other meaning to it.

Roar! Roar!

Blue Dragon began to struggle more violently, making the situation more scary.

“Humans, how dare you allow your Demonic Beast to consume my Pearl Of Immortals and Demons! The other Dragons will avenge me!” Blue Dragon roared in rage.

Eh!

Qing Shui thought for a moment, then understood. It must have been Treasure Hunting Pig.

Roar!

Blue Dragon roared in pain, sounding like one whose heart was being ripped asunder.

Blue Dragon’s powerful Qi began to drop.

“Qing Shui, when Demonic Beasts consume a dragon’s Pearl of Immortals and Demons, it leaves a mark. Any dragon in range will be able to sense it. They will know who has consumed a dragon’s Pearl, and will mark them as an enemy of the Dragons. They will come for their lives.” Hua Rumei said.

“Relax, it’s fine. They won’t be able to find us.” Treasure Hunting Pig usually resided in the Realm of the Violet Immortal. There would be nothing to sense.

The enormous Blue Dragon still struggled and shouted in vain. Once Treasure Hunting Pig began to burrow in its body, there was no going back. If only it had been more observant, it would have been able to easily knock Treasure Hunting Pig 180 li away. But once it managed to burrow into its body, it would be similar to the Marrow Nibbling Golden Silkworm, or worse.

When the gold, shining Pig returned, Blue Dragon had perished…

The two women looked at the squeaky clean Treasure Hunting Pig in disbelief. Hua Rumei actually caught it in mid-air with a big hug. The Pig struggled in vain. It dared not use its teeth, as it knew who was friend and foe.

“Qing Shui, this little piggy is too magnificent. Let me play with it for two days please!”

Qing Shui looked at the pitiful expression on Treasure Hunting Pig’s face, smirked and then laughingly said:” He still needs to work. All my medicinal herbs are still waiting for him. Anytime you want to play with him, let me know and I will pull him out for you to play with. This is a Treasure Hunting Pig. We can bring him along to find treasure.”

“Ok. Once we finish up here, I wanna play with him.” Hua Rumei reluctantly handed the Pig over.

“Sure!”
