Chapter 523: Demon Territory (2 in 1)

This kind of injury won't kill the Flame Demon. The two halves of the Flame Demon's body quickly wiggled. As numerous worms grew out of the cut, the lava-like blood floated out of the two halves and was about to merge.
”Want to merge?” The Zhanmadao in Qian Jin's hand shone. It moved rapidly in Qian Jin's hand like the carving knife of an artist. Qian Jin's blade was moving so fast that it looked like a lightning.
Crack... crack... crack...
The Flame Demon was separated into pieces. Its arms and legs were all cut off and the Magic Core that was enveloped by lava finally showed itself.
This was the Flame Demon's true self. Qian Jin put away his blade and tried to grab the Magic Core.
Squeak! An ear-piercing noise sounded as the lava around the Magic Core started to wiggle….. small arms…... small legs…... small head...
A body was formed around the Magic Core and it was just a small version of the Flame Demon. However, it was growing at a fast pace.
Although it would require a lot of energy to ditch the old body and form a new one, it was better than being dead.
The Flame Demon already made up its mind. Right after his body formed, he was going to rush toward the opening of the volcano and jump into the lava. By then, it should be safe.
”What to run?” Qian Jin grabbed onto this new Flame Demon that was only about the size of a palm and squeezed the lava around the Magic Core forcefully.
The lava around the Magic Core was the Flame Demon's consciousness. As long as the lava was gone, the only thing that would be left would be a Magic Core and not a Flame Demon.
Squeak! Squeak!
The Flame Demon let out a series of screams. It was really scared and confused. It was in the form of lava and even iron gloves would be melted. ”Isn't this person scared of the heat?” it thought.
”So hot! Heart of Earthly Fire! Move and absorb all of it!” Qian Jin shouted as he used his Forging Breathing Technique. The Warrior Heart that was providing Qian Jin with power suddenly started moving aggressively as it sucked the heat from the surroundings greedily.
Boom...
Qian Jin felt like his Heart of Earthly Fire was shaking so violently that it felt like there was an earthquake. The scream of the Flame Demon was getting more and more high-pitched. ”Too scary... I'm being sucked to death...” it thought.
Most of the heat energy around the Magic Core was being squeezed out by Qian Jin and a portion of it was consumed by the Heart of Earthly Fire. Soon, a red-hot Magic Core was in his hand.
Died... High-Level Demon Beast...
Qian Jin had been only able to look up at the High-level Demon Beasts. But now, one of them died under Qian Jin's hands.
”Flame Demon...” Qian Jin couldn't believe it! He looked at the Magic Core in his hand and thought, ”I killed a Flame Demon and got its Magic Core...”
”[Kun]... I can learn the [Kun] Fighting Technique now!” Qian Jin withdrew his [Ultra Fake Soul]. He felt a dizziness as this technique used up a lot more warrior power than others. He was only in a short battle, but his warrior power was depleting already.
”Three Warrior Hearts are powerful, but they also bring a lot of issues...” Qian Jin put away the Magic Core and murmured. ”I have more explosive power, but I can't last for too long. I don't have enough Warrior Power and it is a lethal issue.”
”You do have the strength to take down a Flame Demon.”
Enlak looked at the Magic Core in Qian Jin's hand as he nodded. No surprise could be seen on him as it felt like he knew Qian Jin was capable of it.
”This is the [Kun] Fighting Technique you wanted.”
Enlak threw a thick notebook at Qian Jin. It didn't just contain the [Kun] Fighting Technique but also all the instructions on how to practice and train. It even pointed out a few flaws in the technique.
These flaws won't kill the practitioner of the technique, but they would put the practitioner at a disadvantage.
Besides these flaws, Enlak wrote down information on how these flaws could be avoided. Also, he wrote down ways that the practitioner could use these flaws to make the opponents think that there was a good opportunity to strike.
Completely recreating and analyzing the [Kun] Fighting Technique in such a short time... terrifying was the only suitable word to describe it. ”What? You are not leaving yet?” Enlak smiled at Qian Jin. ”Do you think that you can defeat a Rat King because you defeated a Flame Demon?”
Qian Jin shook his head. ”Was that a joke? Are they the same? A Rat King mastered all four elemental magic spells and its movement speed was very fast. With the help of the wind-elemental magic, I can't even chase after it with [Innumerable Shadow].”
What about its disadvantage? There was a huge one! Its physical damage wasn't as high as High-level Demon Beasts.
But the problem was that the Rat King didn't need to fight anyone physically. After the four-elemental magic spells, it would turn a chaotic space into a quiet one.
”I'm going.” Qian Jin suddenly paused his steps and turned around. ”I will try to defeat the Rat King soon.”
Enlak laughed, ”I will be waiting.”
After walking out of Enlak's place, Qian Jin walked into Blake's Blacksmith Shop.
When Blake saw Qian Jin's appearance, he knocked his pipe on the furnace and said, ”Throw the Magic Core into the furnace and continue forging with the Forging Breathing Technique.”
After the command, the old blacksmith went back to smoking.
Qian Jin did exactly what Blake told him to. After throwing the Magic Core into the furnace, the fire inside of it suddenly shot up for at least two meters high. It almost burned Qian Jin's eyebrows.
”God damn!” Qian Jin picked up a hammer and zapped his mouth. After he threw a piece of iron into the furnace, it got red and hot in just a few seconds. Qian Jin quickly took out the iron that was about to be turned into a liquid with a pair of tongs and started to use the Eighteen Blade Elevating Strikes.
The heat energy filled the yard and the Forging Breathing Technique started to consume the heat in the yard like a greedy wolf.
”Could it be that the second Warrior Heart is about to become a Golden Warrior Heart?” Qian Jin thought as he continued to forge. Before this moment, the Heart of Earthly Fire hadn't changed at all, it had only absorbed a lot of heat energy.
”Ah, Heart of Earthly Fire, how can you become a Golden Warrior Heart?”
Qian Jin sat on his bed as he stared at his hands powerlessly. There was a lot of fire energy stored in the Magic Core of the Flame Demon, but the Heart of Earthly Fire didn't change at all after consuming a part of it. ”Could it be that it needs to eat the entire Magic Core?”
No one was around to answer Qian Jin's question. Even if Uncle Blake was by his side, Qian Jin would think that he would have only one reply – go forge!
”Whatever, I gained a lot of energy already.” Qian Jin got off of his bed and walked out of the room. ”Not much progress can be obtained if I stay here longer. Looks like the [Kun] Fighting Technique is much easier than Eighteen Blade Elevating Strike and [Innumerable Shadows]. However, it is still not as easy as [Ultra-Fake Soul].”
”Cech, I will win next time!”
Duren Burg's unwilling shouts resonated in the area and even the walls couldn't stop them.
Qian Jin stepped into the yard and looked at everyone who was boring at waiting and already started to practice with each other. He laughed, ”Are you guys ready?”
”What do you think?” Duren Burg smiled back at Qian Jin. ”I didn't waste much time.”
The special gravity-changing magic conductors had shocking effects and everyone was sleeping on them these days. Cech Flet had already entered an accumulation stage. As long as he had the next awakening, the power that his bloodline would exert would be powerful. He was likely to get above level 1 Soul-Power Warrior.
”Qian Jin.” Bhang Wusheng walked up with a strong bandit behind him. ”Your Zhanmadao is too famous. Change your weapon,” he said.
After two shadows flew over, Qian Jin raised his hands and grabbed onto them. They were two huge hammers, and each one was bigger than a war drum. Just by looking at them, each one weighted at least 1,000 kilograms.
Qian Jin zapped his mouth. ”These must be the weapons of Behemoths. Are they Warrior Weapons too? Too bad they are only level 3.”
Bhang Wusheng laughed. ”Just use them for now. At least they are big, so they won't be cut in half easily by even level 10 Warrior Weapons.”
Qian Jin waved the hammers around as he said, ”That is true. There are benefits to big sizes.”
”Then my spear...”
”You are not famous enough.” Cech Flet who was friendly toward others was mean towards Duren Burg. He said, ”No one would pay attention to little figures.”
