Chapter 148: Chapter 85: Slaying Nascent Soul Great Demons in Succession, Perhaps Dogged by Bad Luck_2

“Nether Fire?”

“I’ve never heard my father mention a Demon Hunter by that name. Could it be someone who has recently risen to fame?”

Jin Hong leaped onto the rooftop and found that the Ape Demon’s head had been half-blown apart, its enormous demon body crushing several houses.

The Demon Hunter called Nether Fire was reaching into the Ape Demon’s body, pulling out a demon pill as white as jade.

“This Nether Fire, what a powerful and domineering Body Refining Celestial Being!”

Jin Hong’s expression changed.

This was no ordinary Demon Fiend but a member of an organization similar to the Human Race’s Demon Hunters within the Demon Race, a top-level existence within its class, a member of the Demon Heaven Alliance.

Killed in two punches, without even a chance to break the pill.

[Slayed the Ape Demon, gained 1600 years of power]

[Current Power Level: 1744 years]

Shaking off the demon blood on his hand, the demon pill was stored into the silver waist token. Wei Fan wiped away traces of his aura and looked back at Jin Hong: “Your Jin Family will compensate for the damaged houses!”

Jin Hong bowed: “Jin Hong accepts the responsibility, rest assured, senior…”

When he looked up again, he found that the Demon Hunter called Nether Fire had already turned into a streak of red light, flying out of the city.

…

Outside Donglin City, from every direction came the sounds of battles between Demon Hunters and Demon Fiends.

“I’ve encountered the son of the White Tiger Demon Monarch in the east of the city. I can only hold him off, can’t kill him. Any brother not engaged can come and join forces with me to slay him.”

“Ten miles west of the city, the Flying Bear is slain, come quickly!”

“Five miles south of the city, Cyan-Scaled Snake Fairy is pursuing me!”

“Who knows what’s happening inside the city now, and where is Old Master Jin Wucheng?”

“He’s not far from us, fighting with the son of the White Ape Demon Monarch, Ape Roar!”

“No information on the situation in the city!”

…

Feeling the information transmitted through the Demon Hunter’s waist token in his arms, Zhang Xianlong’s expression remained calm.

Compiling this information, it seemed the Demon Hunters were evenly matched with the Demon Fiends.

There shouldn’t be any major incidents in the city, Wei Fan is still there, and if something happens, Wei Fan would communicate through the waist token.

“Lucky to have cornered a Fifth Grade of Core Formation Rhino Demon!”

After leaving the city, he and Long Xueyi split up to find enemies they could slay.

He was fortunate to find a Rhino Demon whose cultivation was weaker than his own.

With this Rhino Demon, as long as there are no surprises, he is confident in slaying it. Although obtaining the demon pill is difficult, the Rhino Horn should remain.

By then, the Rhino Horn should be able to craft him a good saber.

Coupled with the merit from slaying this Demon Heaven Alliance member, the gain this time is significant.

“Demon Slaying Technique!”

A sword aura was unleashed, breaking through the Rhino Demon’s defense and opening a huge wound on its body, with the foul-smelling demon blood pouring out in large patches.

“In a few more moments, I’ll be able to slay this Rhino Demon, but I must guard against it breaking the pill!”

Zhang Xianlong’s body flew up, wanting to attack ruthlessly, preferably slaying it before the Rhino Demon breaks the pill, preserving the demon pill.

Once obtaining the demon pill, the benefit would instantly multiply several times.

Suddenly, a rumbling sound arose, the ground shook.

A towering figure walked out from the forest, slamming the fleeing Rhino Demon with one palm, burying it into the ground.

“Young Master Bai Xiang?”

Zhang Xianlong halted his steps, retreating quickly.

He knew well the terror of Young Master Bai Xiang, a king of the same rank within the Demon Fiends, rarely matched.

The last encounter lasted only a few moments before he was injured by the other, and if he hadn’t persisted in bluffing him away, he would have been caught last time.

Seeing the duck almost in his hand fly away, along with such a formidable enemy appearing, Zhang Xianlong was inwardly fuming.

Immediately, he secretly gripped the silver token, sending out a message: “Five miles north of the city, encountered Young Master Bai Xiang and a Fifth Grade of Core Formation Rhino Demon, come to the rescue quickly.”

After sending the message, Zhang Xianlong didn’t know if anyone would come to help.

At this time, everyone should have found opponents, and in the short term, no one should come to rescue him.

Having to face the Young Master Bai Xiang alone was already difficult enough, but with the addition of the Rhino Demon, it seemed like there was no escape from death today.

“Get lost! Zhang Xianlong is mine. Go find your own prey in the city!”

The Rhino Demon emerged from the ground, trembling with fear at the roar of the Young Master Bai Xiang, and immediately transformed into a demonic wind, flying towards Donglin City.

Zhang Xianlong breathed a sigh of relief. Although the Rhino Demon was heavily injured, teaming up with the Young Master Bai Xiang would make it even more challenging to deal with.

Unexpectedly, the Young Master Bai Xiang wanted to confront him alone, which gave him a chance to hold on for a longer period.

He hadn’t thought of escaping, not for fear that once he escaped, the Young Master Bai Xiang would massacre in the city, but simply because demon hunters value their own lives too much to worry about such things.

The Young Master Bai Xiang was more powerful than he was, and in a confrontation, he could hold out longer, hoping for Dragon Xueyi or any other demon hunter to come.

Turning and running would lead to a quick death, for no lightweight skill could match the speed of the demon wind among those of the same level.

“Zhang Xianlong, last time you tricked me, allowing that Horizontal Cultivation Innate to escape. This time, I’m going to devour you alive!”

In the intense battle, Zhang Xianlong had reverted to his true appearance. Moreover, the Young Master Bai Xiang had already collected his aura from last time, so he was no longer Horizontal Saber but Zhang Xianlong.

In fact, many demon hunters’ true identities were long known within the Demon Heaven Alliance due to their lengthy careers.

The disguise before every action was merely to obscure the reality from the demon fiends, for once the battle began, identities were quickly unveiled by their qi.

The Young Master Bai Xiang ran on the ground, causing cracks to form, and his colossal trunk lashed towards Zhang Xianlong like an iron rod with unstoppable momentum.

Zhang Xianlong dodged, and man and demon were instantly locked in combat.

…

“Young Master Bai Xiang? The Rhino Demon at the Fifth Grade of Core Formation?”

Wei Fan put away the silver waist token and moved towards the north of the city.

After running for a while, he saw a massive demonic wind flying towards him from afar, within which the outline of a rhino about three zhang in length was faintly visible.

“Qi and Blood Power, this is a rare Body Refining Celestial Being, a great supplement!”

The Rhino Demon within the demonic wind also saw Wei Fan zooming by.

Observing the gray-robed man not far away, with his body covered in qi and blood power but without any true power emerging, it instantly dawned upon him that this was a rare Body Refining Celestial Being among the human race.

Such Body Refining Celestial Beings are considered great supplements, and the blood qi of a Five Layer True Qi Celestial Being is no match for a First Layer Body Refining Celestial Being, which is the demons’ favorite great medicine.

“Fortune really turns!”

He hadn’t expected to come across a lone First Layer Body Refining Celestial Being.

Having originally faced impending slaughter by Zhang Xianlong, where he had to desperately fragment his core, the appearance of that wretch, the Young Master Bai Xiang, saved him, albeit at the cost of a few broken ribs.

By devouring this Body Refining Celestial Being, not only could he fully recover from his injuries, but he could also achieve the Sixth Grade of Core Formation.

With this thought, disregarding his injuries, he urged the demonic wind to speed up, crashing towards the Body Refining Celestial Being below.

The sharp rhino horn cut through the air, producing a fierce screech in the night, shaking the surrounding trees violently.

“A Fifth Grade of Core Formation Rhino Demon, could it be that Zhang Xianlong was killed so quickly?”

Sensing the lingering sword intent of the Soul-Slaying Demon-slaying Saber on the Rhino Demon, Wei Fan realized that the Rhino Demon before him was the very one mentioned in Zhang Xianlong’s waist token.

Enveloped in terrifying power, the Rhino Demon approached in a blink of an eye. Wei Fan’s body surged with the power of qi and blood, and as he released his true intent, the power of heaven and earth wove a dragon elephant illusion around him.

Dragon Elephant Heaven-Supporting Skill!

The fleshly body’s prowess lies solely in power.

It refines neither the Vajra Indestructible nor the Immortal, only power, with the force to sweep through everything horizontally.

Seeing the rhino horn about to pierce him, Wei Fan’s five fingers shot out like lightning, seizing the massive three-zhang-long body of the Rhino Demon, halting its advance: “Fortune turns? Did you not consider you might be dogged by misfortune?”

“How is this possible?”

The Rhino Demon showed a look of horror, a mere First Layer Body Refining Celestial Being could unexpectedly seize him and stop his descending strike from the sky.

To know, among the Demon Race, only a few races like the Elephant Race, Ape Race, and Python Race could compete with the Rhino Race in terms of strength.

Even though he was severely injured, able to exert only seventy to eighty percent of his strength, it was impossible for a First Layer Body Refining Celestial Being to overpower him.

Even if the opponent’s fleshly body’s power was all about strength, racial talent, honed over centuries of battles with the human race, dictated otherwise.

“Break the core!”

In that instant, he knew he had hit a hard wall, seeing the power of heaven and earth conjuring the dragon elephant illusion on the opponent, realizing it was the best Body Refining Martial Arts of the Demon Suppression Bureau, the Dragon Elephant Heaven-Supporting Skill.

If he didn’t break his core, with his injured body, the opponent could very well kill him in a few punches.

Crack!

Boom!

The sound of the core shattering had just sounded when the opponent’s other hand swung a terrifying punch, shattering his rhino horn right from the base.
