Chapter 55: Chapter 55, Killing Yang Zong (Seeking Recommendations, Seeking Collections)
Facing the two Demon Bull shadows in front of him, Chu Ming dared not be careless. Yang Zong’s strength was now three to four times stronger than before.
Chu Ming slashed forward with his sword, resembling a flaming meteor that streaked across the sky for miles. Countless Sword Essence Fire Essence gathered on his sword, erupting like a wildfire and spreading in all directions.
"Starfire Extinction!"
The Starfire Swordsmanship of Chu Ming was inherently explosive, and now with his spiritual power transformed into Fire Element Spiritual Power, it was even more violent, almost instantly causing an explosion before him.
The starfire swept through, burning all the trees on the ground to ashes. As the flames spread towards him, Chu Ming’s expression did not change. He lightly tapped his right foot and retreated swiftly.
Blop, blop, blop....
Under the explosive sword light, the two Demon Bull shadows shattered instantly, turning into starlight. The Fire Essence devoured everything around like a giant beast, destroying everything.
Whoosh
As the dust had not yet settled, a figure dashed through it, his robe fluttering like a comet’s tail. His muscular arms tore through the sleeves, his fists powerful like those of a giant fire being.
Bang, bang, bang!
Yang Zong’s fists appeared to be forged from steel. Every punch created violent winds, making the battle no longer evenly matched. Chu Ming slowly began to fall into a disadvantage.
Clang, clang, clang
The sound of metal clashing rang out. In an instant, Chu Ming’s sword deviated Yang Zong’s punch.
Chu Ming now roughly understood his strength. The technique Yang Zong used earlier was likely his life-saving move. In other words, without using his life-saving method, his ranking on the Cyan Yang List would be around fifteen.
But once he used his life-saving technique, his strength would approach the top ten of the Cyan Yang List. Therefore, Chu Ming’s strength level was roughly the same.
Roaring sounds filled his ears, and the scorching aura stung Chu Ming’s face. Without wasting time, leveraging his astounding Soul Power, Chu Ming slightly tilted his head, easily dodging Yang Zong’s attack.
"Unpredictable Weather!"
Chu Ming lightly shook his sword, and several breezes blew. The air was filled with moisture as raindrops slowly formed. A weak green light slowly brightened in Chu Ming’s sword, resembling a firefly in the night.
Yang Zong’s expression turned solemn, recognizing this move had previously killed Luo Chuan. He dared not underestimate it.
Swish
Yang Zong’s body suddenly expanded, a layer of purple light appearing on him and growing larger. Behind Yang Zong, a gigantic Demon Bull shadow emerged, its limbs stomping the ground, causing it to collapse.
"Descent of the Demon Bull!"
Moo!
The Demon Bull roared at the sky and charged towards Chu Ming, creating countless cold gusts of wind.
Blop, blop, blop...
The breeze and raindrops collided with the Demon Bull’s shadow and shattered instantly. The air seemed endless, like a never-ending torrent. frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
Yang Zong’s face showed a trace of a smile, but it turned to panic as he realized the endless breeze and raindrops were quietly eroding the Demon Bull’s energy.
Blop, blop, blop...
Mere breaths passed before the Demon Bull shadow behind Yang Zong began to crumble, turning to dust. Countless killing intents surrounded Yang Zong.
Swoosh
A cold green sword light flashed past Yang Zong’s neck, causing blood to spurt out. His eyes widened in anger, and his body fell lifelessly to the ground.
Phew
Seeing Yang Zong completely lifeless, Chu Ming sighed in relief, took Yang Zong’s Storage Ring, and disappeared into the dense forest.
Since he still had one task to complete, needing the hide of the Zi Yan Crocodile, Chu Ming did not immediately leave the Cyan Yang Mountain Range. He roamed the inner areas, as the Demon Beasts here posed no threat to him anymore.
In Yang Zong’s Storage Ring, Chu Ming found more than three thousand Lower Grade Spirit Stones, fifty thousand Gold, and a Cultivation Technique book, ’Wood Element Technique,’ which was the Yang Family’s ancestral technique, akin to the Chu Family’s ’Cyan Yuan Technique.’ Both were Top Tier Yellow Level techniques.
However, this technique was of no use to Chu Ming, so he casually tossed it into the corner of his ring.
Besides these items, Chu Ming also found a significant amount of Body Refining Elixirs in Yang Zong’s Storage Ring, with fifty to sixty Middle Grade Body Tempering Pills and five Upper Grade Body Tempering Pills. These pills help eliminate impurities in one’s body, making body refining more effective.
Chu Ming had been troubled by the lack of Body Refining Elixirs. Now, finding so many was a delight, so he transferred all of the items into his own Storage Ring. He still wore his original Lower Grade Storage Ring on his hand.
The Middle Grade Storage Ring, however, was worn around his neck to avoid being noticed by others.
Suddenly, Chu Ming’s expression changed to one of joy. He appeared in the crown of a tree, body shrinking, observing the distance.
Boom
A huge crocodile emitting purple flames roamed the forest recklessly, knocking down trees along its way, even burning some to ashes.
Its sharp teeth and countless tiny bumps on its body were constantly wriggling. Its strong limbs carved deep trenches into the ground, and its eyes were as large as lanterns.
This was Chu Ming’s final target for his task: the Zi Yan Crocodile, a middle tier Fourth Level Demon Beast. Three days ago, such a beast might have required some effort from Chu Ming, but now it posed no challenge.
Boom
Red light ignited from Chu Ming’s fist, resembling a lightning bolt, destroying trees in the vicinity. The fist shadows danced, enveloping the Zi Yan Crocodile.
Howl
Feeling imminent danger, the Zi Yan Crocodile’s body twisted rapidly, increasing its speed severalfold, attempting to escape the fists’ coverage. However, Chu Ming’s current speed was incomparable. In an instant, Chu Ming reached above its head and punched.
Bang!
Crack!
The sound of bones shattering echoed, and the large body of the Zi Yan Crocodile twitched on the ground before becoming motionless, killed by Chu Ming with one punch.
Chu Ming used a small knife to collect the Zi Yan Crocodile’s hide and teeth before turning to leave. The scent of blood soon attracted wolves, who tore apart its carcass.
With all tasks completed, Chu Ming left the Cyan Yang Mountain Range but did not immediately return to the Cyan Yang Sect. Instead, he went to a nearby town to retrieve his Blue Star Horse and sold all useless Demon Beast materials from his Storage Ring.
A large pile of Demon Beast materials was sold for fifty thousand Gold. Now, Chu Ming had an abundance of Gold Notes. The clan competition reward was ten thousand Gold, Black Cloud Fort was thirty thousand Gold, Yang Zong had fifty thousand Gold, and now another fifty thousand Gold. Combined, he had a total of eighty-six thousand, a significant fortune.
To improve his strength, Chu Ming bought thirty Upper Grade Body Tempering Pills, each costing five thousand Gold, spending fifteen thousand Gold.
As for the Qi Gathering Pill, Chu Ming did not purchase any. His ’Fire Element Body Forging Chapter’ was about to break through to the Third Layer. Upon reaching the Third Layer, he would use Middle Grade Spirit Stones for cultivation, matching the speed of the Qi Gathering Pill.
