Chapter 157 Chaos
Chirp!
A cry of pain escaped the Mid-Second Order Great Demon Wind Split Beast. It hadn't expected the strength of the humans it faced to be so formidable. A single sword strike had nearly killed it.
The Wind Split Beast wretchedly adjusted its posture, unleashed a Mystic Art, and fled into the distance.
Qin Ming's gaze sharpened. "Trying to escape?"
He immediately cast Illusory Light Transformation Art again and pursued it once more.
This Mystic Art he had traded for with Huangfu Qi was truly incredibly potent. Although casting it consumed a significant amount of Magic Power, it now allowed him to instantly erupt with speed comparable to a Perfected Foundation Establishment Great Cultivator.
Qin Ming's figure twisted and vanished again. In just a few breaths, he had overtaken the Wind Split Beast.
He activated his Qi and Blood True Force, and a streak of blood-colored light from his hand slashed towards the Wind Split Beast. With a *slicing* sound, it severed the Wind Split Beast's remaining wing.
The Wind Split Beast, wincing in pain, plummeted towards the Mountain Top below.
Qin Ming swiftly caught up. Qi and Blood True Force enveloped his fist as he smashed a fierce punch into its head.
Bang! The Wind Split Beast's head was instantly half-shattered. Its corpse crashed heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust. It was deader than dead.
Qin Ming immediately released his Divine Sense to investigate, and promptly extracted a blue Demon Core from the Wind Split Beast's chest.
This was an invaluable treasure. Whether used for Pill Refining or given to Beast Pets, it was an excellent item.
After collecting the Demon Core, he also collected the pair of wings, adding them to his pouch. The Wind Split Beast's wings were a rare material for crafting Spirit Tools, especially considering this Wind Split Beast had already reached Mid Second Order.
Qin Ming then tossed a Black Spirit Seed onto the Wind Split Beast's corpse and cast the Thorn Technique.
In mere breaths.
The Second Rank Great Spirit Beast, which had been so aggressive just moments ago, had transformed into a Blood Bead.
Qin Ming raised a hand and beckoned, collecting the Blood Bead. He then flew towards the direction of his Spirit Pet.
When he arrived, he was astonished to find.
The Mysterious Water Crocodile was displaying incredible might, unexpectedly overpowering and utterly dominating another Mid Second Order Demon Wolf Demonic Beast, grinding it into the ground.
Roar! Just then, its giant, scaled tail swung out. Terrifying force swept through everything, and countless trees and rocks instantly crumbled. Then, it heavily struck the Grey Demon Wolf Great Demon.
The Wolf Demon Beast seemed to have crashed headfirst into a mountain. Its frame, several meters tall, was sent flying hundreds of meters away.
With a resounding "Boom!" it slammed into the Rock Wall.
The Wolf Demon Beast was bathed in blood. It struggled to its feet, its gaze terrified as it stared at the Mysterious Water Crocodile. A tremor of fear suddenly arose from the depths of its soul.
"Is this… Bloodline Suppression?"
"No wonder it's a Heaven Grade Bloodline!" Qin Ming's eyes lit up as he appraised his powerful Beast Pet.
Then, in a flash, the Mysterious Water Crocodile opened its massive jaws and unleashed a ball of purple lightning, instantly blasting the opposing Wolf Demon Beast to death!
Its eyes gleamed with excitement as it moved to claim its spoils, but Qin Ming acted first, extracting a green Demon Core from the Wolf Demon Beast's body. He then cast the Thorn Technique on the corpse, harvesting yet another Blood Bead formed from the Second Rank Great Spirit Beast.
"Hold your appetite. I'll compensate you when we get back." Qin Ming said, putting away the spoils and turning his gaze to the other side.
The Silver Wing Frost Bee's Soul-Extinguishing Poison Sting had also struck its opponent. The corpse of a bat-type Demonic Beast remained stiff and frozen, falling weakly from the Sky.
Qin Ming waved his hand, and harvested another Blood Bead and Demon Core.
Mo Lingwei floated down from the Sky, her gaze fixed on the two Spirit Beasts beside the Curly-Bearded Strongman. Her heart churned with turmoil as she mused, "Even his Spirit Pets are so terrifyingly powerful!"
"This person's strength combined with two Second-Order Spirit Pets… within the Foundation Establishment stage, he's likely unmatched."
She had intended to help, but unexpectedly became a mere spectator. The Demonic Beasts ahead, witnessing the successive deaths of three Great Demons, and simultaneously deeply intimidated by the domineering aura emanating from the Mysterious Water Crocodile, began to falter and hesitate, briefly creating an opening.
Seeing this opening, Qin Ming didn't hesitate, immediately preparing to fly out.
The members of the Mirror Snow Pavilion, having fled wretchedly all the way here, discovered that the Demonic Beasts in this area had already been cleared.
"What level of strength is this?"
"I'm afraid he's probably no less capable than Protector Huangfu, right?"
Shepherd Li of the Mirror Snow Pavilion swallowed hard and couldn't help but blurt out.
…
In the center of Thousand Leaf Spirit Island, the Demon Ape, rampaging and slaughtering in all directions, suddenly paused, its expression shifting. It sensed that the three Second Rank Great Demons under its command had surprisingly fallen, all at once.
It roared angrily towards the Sky, its massive frame leaping high into the air, charging towards the direction of Qin Ming and the others!
Qin Ming had already flown out of the Spirit Island's Range. He chose a direction, and with every ounce of his strength, fled using Escaping Light.
Just at this moment. Suddenly!
A hair-raising feeling suddenly and unconsciously rose in Qin Ming's heart.
He unleashed his Divine Sense, spreading it in all directions, and discovered that behind him, besides Mo Lingwei and the members of the Mirror Snow Pavilion…
The Demon Ape, towering over thirty meters tall, was hurtling towards him at incredible speed. With just a few leaps, it instantly closed a significant distance.
The Mirror Snow Pavilion members fleeing behind him also noticed the Demon Ape gaining on them. Everyone was scared witless.
"No good! Why is that fiend chasing after us!"
"Disperse and flee, quickly!"
But the Mirror Snow Pavilion group, having sustained serious injuries in their Combat Method against the Zhao Family just moments ago, were now near exhaustion of Magic Power, and their Escaping Light speed had significantly decreased.
Aunt Long's eyes hardened with resolve. She immediately drew a silver Talisman from her bosom, upon which silver light flowed and Spiritual Aura flickered.
It was clearly a Top Grade Second Tier Talisman.
She channeled Magic Power, lightly tapping the silver Talisman, and then released it towards the urgently approaching Demon Ape.
*Hum*— A buzzing sound suddenly echoed between Heaven and Earth.
Then, the silver Talisman transformed into a Sky-filling golden light, enveloping the Demon Ape. Everything pierced by the golden light instantly disintegrated and evaporated.
The Demon Ape naturally noticed this development.
But it not only showed no fear, but actually stopped in its tracks, and made an unexpected move against the golden rain.
Just then, the Demon Ape widened its eyes. Within its overlapping pupils, a red glow suddenly filled them.
Then, from the Demon Ape's pupils, two streaks of red Mystic Light erupted, shining upon the golden rain transformed from the Talisman.
A bizarre scene unfolded.
Just then, the Sky-filling golden rain seemed to freeze in Mid-Air. After a few breaths, the Mystic Light in the Demon Ape's eyes violently erupted!
The golden light Spell, transformed from the Top Grade Second Tier Talisman, completely disintegrated and dissipated in the air.
Qin Ming's powerful Divine Sense also witnessed this scene and exclaimed in shock, "Eyes of Law-Breaking!"
This was precisely the Demon Ape's innate Bloodline Mystical Power.
No wonder even two Pseudo-Core Old Ancestors couldn't defeat it. Eyes of Law-Breaking Mystical Power, combined with its incomparably powerful strength and Physical Body, made it virtually invincible.
Qin Ming felt his scalp crawl. Immediately, without hesitating to expend vast amounts of Magic Power, he cast the Illusory Light Transformation Art again, and began to flee for his life.
After shattering the Talisman, the Demon Ape roared wildly, swung its massive fist, and smashed it towards Aunt Long and the others from the Mirror Snow Pavilion.
Aunt Long's face paled. She hadn't expected that even her trump card Talisman would be ineffective against the Demon Ape.
Seeing this, Qin Ming sighed inwardly. He was also powerless to help, beyond aid.
Boom! Crackle~
Just then, a thunderous roar echoed.
From the Sky descended a Golden Thunder Giant Sword, crackling with golden arcs of lightning. With lightning speed, it struck the Demon Ape's descending fist.
*Rumble!* This Spell actually knocked the Demon Ape's fist back, revealing a gruesome wound on its surface.
*Whoosh!* A graceful figure instantly appeared beside Aunt Long and the others, hastily pulling her back.
Aunt Long and the others had narrowly escaped death once more. Turning back to see who had come, they exclaimed in delighted surprise, "Protector Huangfu!"
"This isn't the place to talk. You all, get onto the Dharma Boat and retreat." Huangfu Qi's gaze was solemn as he watched the Demon Ape in the distance.
A massive Magic Boat of the Mirror Snow Pavilion descended near them. The Cultivators arriving as reinforcements had finally arrived just in the nick of time.
At the same time.
On the island, 'Zhao Wuyang' raised his head, his hollow eyes glancing at the Sky in the distance, and a sinister smile crept onto his face. "Only recovered twenty percent of my strength… looks like it's time to leave."
The next moment.
In the Sky, two powerful beams of Escaping Light, one blue and one purple, flashed and vanished, abruptly descending to the Sky Above Thousand Leaf Spirit Island.
