Chapter 65: Chapter 65: When the Snipe and the Clam Fight, the Fisherman Profits

These two are both Tier One Top-Grade Demon Beasts, equivalent to the Peak Qi Refining of humans.

The one on the left is a three-zhang long, one-chi sized Demon Python, and even from this distance, Zhou Xun can feel its fierce aura.

The other Demon Beast is also at the Top-Grade level, with dark yellow scale armor, wrapping its entire body like armor.

Its body is much smaller than the Demon Python, about seven chi in size, similar to an adult human.

However, its power is not inferior to the Demon Python’s at all.

Zhou Xun once read about this Demon Beast in scriptures.

Profound Armor Armadillo, Middle-Grade Demon Beast Bloodline.

The qualifications of Demon Beasts mainly lie in their bloodline, similar to the Spiritual Roots of human cultivators.

They are divided into Low-Grade Bloodline, Middle-Grade Bloodline, High-Grade Bloodline, Earth-Grade Bloodline, and even Celestial Grade Bloodline.

This Profound Armor Armadillo is considered to have excellent qualifications.

The two Demon Beasts are entangled, fighting fiercely, each strike aimed at the other’s vital points.

They are competing for the chance to advance.

The victor will obtain the Spirit Medicine and advance to Tier Two Demon Beast.

The loser will perish, and even its flesh will become food for the other.

Zhou Xun hides behind the rock, operating his Breath Concealment Technique to the extreme.

He fears even the slightest noise will alert the two Demon Beasts.

The Demon Python strikes powerfully, each blow is extremely terrifying, its snake tail striking a stalactite with a diameter of over a zhang, directly breaking the stone pillar into two.

The fallen stone, with great speed, heavily hits the stone wall and shatters into pieces.

Though the Armadillo’s body is small, it’s extremely agile, avoiding each attack from the Demon Python effortlessly.

But when the snake tail strikes towards its lower abdomen, it reacts slightly slower.

Each time it narrowly avoids danger.

Seeing this, the Demon Python focuses its attacks downwards, gradually making the originally superior Armadillo fall behind.

Suddenly, the Demon Python changes its attack direction, striking the head of the Profound Armor Armadillo with its snake tail, which the Armadillo avoids easily.

Unexpectedly, this was the Demon Python’s strategy, after dodging this blow, the Armadillo’s lower part is exposed to the Demon Python’s massive mouth.

The Demon Python immediately bites heavily.

The Armadillo, shocked, twists its body to avoid the lower abdomen.

Even Zhou Xun sees the Profound Armor Armadillo’s mistake.

The Demon Python bites half of the Armadillo’s body and won’t let go, then bends its body to constrict the Armadillo, attempting to use its racial talent—the Constriction Technique.

Unbeknownst to it, this exposes its own vital point, which the Armadillo seizes with its sharp claws, stabbing fiercely.

At once, both Demon Beasts are severely injured.

The Demon Python crashes into the surrounding stone walls with the bitten Armadillo, rocks fall like raindrops, hoping to make the Armadillo release its claw.

The Armadillo, however, does not release its claw.

Thus, the two Demon Beasts become locked together.

With time passing, they begin to weaken.

Zhou Xun observes from afar, but dares not be careless, still concealing his breath to the extreme.

If it were anyone else, they might have acted by now.

After an unknown time, the Demon Python releases its bite from the Armadillo weakly.

The Armadillo instantly falls to the ground.

The Demon Python’s demon blood flows everywhere, its huge head sags to one side, obviously lifeless.

In this battle, ultimately the Profound Armor Armadillo edges out slightly.

Yet it achieves only a grim victory, now extremely weak.

If not for its extremely solid scale armor, it would have perished long ago.

A Tier One Top-Grade Demon Python crashing against stone walls with such force, relying on scale armor, the Profound Armor Armadillo still withstands, revealing its scale armor’s sharpness.

Worthy of the “Profound Armor” in its name.

Dragging its weakened body, the Profound Armor Armadillo crawls to the Demon Snake, opens its mouth and bites fiercely.

It needs nourishment.

At this moment, Zhou Xun moves.

His Golden Cicada Mother-Child Blade turns into a golden shadow, stabbing lightning fast towards the Armadillo.

The Armadillo hears the noise, turns its head, sensing the Spiritual Power wave from Zhou Xun, wanting to avoid it.

Yet ultimately, too weak, its movements slow.

“Puh shh—”

The Golden Cicada Mother-Child Blade passes through both eyes of the Profound Armor Armadillo, one after the other,

The Profound Armor Armadillo dies on the spot.

As they say, when the snipe and clam fight, the fisherman gains.

Zhou Xun seizes the opportunity, acts decisively, becoming the biggest winner of this battle.

Then Zhou Xun manipulates the Golden Cicada Mother-Child Blade to decapitate the heads of both Demon Beasts, finally easing his mind.

Then, without attending to the Demon Beast materials, he turns his gaze towards the Blue Spirit Lamp Flower.

Perhaps intentionally avoided by the two battling beasts, intact and quietly blooming.

Zhou Xun walks slowly over, squats down carefully to pick it, placing it in the Jade Box.

Then takes out a Middle-Grade Spirit-Sealing Talisman, activates it, sticks it on the Jade Box, and puts the box into the Storage Bag.

After that, Zhou Xun glances around the vast cavern, then heads north.

Reaching a recessed stone wall at the north.

Manipulating his Magical Artifact, cutting out a temporary cave, deep enough to accommodate several people.

He drills inside.

He intends to directly refine the Blue Spirit Lamp Flower here, enhancing his qualifications, to avoid daydreams.

Zhou Xun places the Blue Spirit Lamp Grass in front of him, then sits cross-legged.

Calming and gathering his spirit, then takes out a Calming Pill, swallowing it slowly.

Soon Zhou Xun’s Spirit Platform becomes clear.

He then operates the Spring Condensation Scripture.

Soon, a bright green spot emerges above the Blue Spirit Lamp Grass.

This spot is brighter than ever before.

Full of anticipation, Zhou Xun manipulates the spot towards his body.

It’s been years since the last fusion of Spirit Medicine Essence.

As the spot approaches, Zhou Xun’s body produces an indescribable hunger.

Upon contact with skin, the spot instantly melts into billions of molecules, merging into Zhou Xun’s body.

In an instant, his body feels enveloped by a warm current, like a mother’s embrace, warm and peaceful.

The feeling of being cleansed reappears, filled with vitality and vigor.

After an unknown period, this feeling slowly fades.

At this moment, Zhou Xun’s Dantian suddenly generates a powerful suction force, and his cultivation technique spontaneously operates again.

Having experienced this, Zhou Xun knows what the situation is.

He immediately opens the Storage Bag without hesitation.

Takes out hundreds of Low-Grade Spirit Stones, and crushes them all without remorse.

Instantly, a rich Spiritual Qi surrounds Zhou Xun.

With the cultivation technique running, soon this Spiritual Qi is absorbed by Zhou Xun continuously, refined into Mana.

As time passes, Zhou Xun’s cultivation technique gradually halts, finally stopping.

At this point, his cultivation has increased significantly.

Now only a step away from the Peak of Fifth-Layer Qi Refining.
