Chapter 74: Two Companions, Finally Pacified!
On the slope on one side of the mountain peak.
A bull-headed demonic creature, over three zhang tall, stared at the human man wielding a spear before him with eyes flaming and filled with killing intent.
When humans and demons meet, they are mortal enemies!
This bull-headed demonic creature had originally escaped from the Demonic Cloud Ridge.
Because the spatial demon cave was destroyed, it could only escape through the encirclement of many elders of the human race's Holy Lands.
It was actually quite lucky; on the way, it did not meet any powerful human cultivators and escaped tens of thousands of miles.
It originally thought that if it detoured from the west of the Demonic Cloud Ridge, it could cross the Hengduan Mountain Range and return to the territory of the Demon Race!
But helplessly, there were simply too many disciples of the human Holy Lands along the way, so in the end, its tracks were revealed.
Just after it had shaken off the pursuit of three human cultivators, it encountered this young human cultivator skilled in using a spear on this side of the mountain peak.
Although his cultivation realm had just broken through to the first heaven of the Void Core Realm, his spear technique was used like a soaring flood dragon.
Every move attacked his weak points directly.
It was simply impossible to shake off his entanglement!
Roar!
The bull-headed demonic creature roared in anger: "Human race, get the hell out of my way!"
The bull-headed monster knew that the longer he dragged on, the greater the crisis he faced, so he must fight a quick battle.
"Hmph, you despicable demon, meeting me today is the time you lose your life!"
Zhao Feiyu snorted coldly, and the long spear in his hand became even sharper.
Moreover, the black long spear in Zhao Feiyu's hand became increasingly flexible as he danced it.
Causing several more wounds to appear on the back of the bull-headed demonic creature.
The bull-headed demonic creature hurriedly retreated dozens of meters, panting heavily.
The longer they fought, the more he discovered that this human cultivator's attack power grew stronger.
It was as if this human was using him as a whetstone.
"I must leave!"
The bull-headed demonic creature felt the pain on its back.
Within its flame eyes, large as copper bells, the flames surged.
Its burly body increased by another fraction, and even scorching flames emerged on both of its right hands.
The bull-headed demonic creature risked the consequences of self-mutilation to activate the remnant Fire Fox bloodline within its body.
Its aura immediately surged by a large margin!
Whoosh!
The next moment, Zhao Feiyu's long spear whipped towards it.
This bull-headed demonic creature actually threw a punch to resist.
A wave of heat rushed toward its face, causing Zhao Feiyu's body-protecting light to ripple.
The fist and spear intersected, even issuing the sound of clashing metal and iron, which was astonishing.
This time, it was actually Zhao Feiyu who fell into the disadvantage.
Just then.
On one side of the mountain peak, a remnant shadow actually flew over and suspended itself dozens of steps away from the one human and one demon.
It, which had originally thought to take advantage of the situation to attack and take down Zhao Feiyu, sensed the movement and suddenly turned its head to look towards Lin Xuan.
When the bull-headed demonic creature sensed the Void Core Realm cultivation on Lin Xuan's body, retreat appeared in its eyes.
"Two Void Core Realm human cultivators!"
The bull-headed demonic creature's pair of flame eyes flashed with a firelight.
Fighting one Void Core Realm human cultivator was already this exhausting.
With two human Void Core Realm cultivators, this bull's life would definitely have to be left here.
"Go!"
The bull-headed demonic creature immediately withdrew the fist striking towards Zhao Feiyu and began to fly into the distance.
Lin Xuan's spiritual consciousness locked onto the bull-headed demonic creature that had escaped more than a hundred steps away, and he involuntarily raised his right hand.
"Great Wind Blade Art!"
Whoosh!
With a single thought, a remnant shadow of green light cut through the vast sky.
In the blink of an eye, it crossed the distance of a hundred steps, splitting the body of that bull-headed demonic creature in two.
The bull-headed demonic creature sensed a pain in its back, lowered its head to look, and saw a crescent-shaped green light easily split its body in half.
Purple blood spilled out.
"This Void Core Realm human cultivator!?"
The bull-headed demonic creature looked at its own remaining body, which had been cut in half, with a confused face.
You must know.
This body of his had been tempered day and night for over two hundred years.
Even Third-Rank artifacts could be resisted head-on with his physical body, but he did not expect it to be easily broken by this Void Core Realm human cultivator.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have come to the human race territory!"
The flaming eyes of the bull-headed demonic creature gradually extinguished.
The other half of its body fell from the void and crashed into the jungle below.
Zhao Feiyu watched the bull-headed demonic creature be killed in an instant, a flash of surprise in the depths of his eyes.
He had tangled with this bull-headed demonic creature for a long time, so he naturally knew how difficult it was to deal with.
Zhao Feiyu hurriedly looked towards Lin Xuan.
When he saw Lin Xuan's face clearly, joy rose in his eyes, and he said: "Lin Xuan!"
"Hahaha, it's actually you!"
Zhao Feiyu took a step out, generating wind beneath his feet, and flew over.
"Feiyu, it seems you have successfully broken through, congratulations!"
Lin Xuan looked at the familiar Zhao Feiyu and smiled.
"Speaking of congratulations, I should be the one congratulating you.
It has only been a few months since we last met, but I heard from Ling'er's message that you have become a core disciple.
Your cultivation speed has surged now, and you actually broke through to the Void Core Realm too!"
Zhao Feiyu waved his hand and said.
"By the way, thank you for the Foundation Establishment Pill that you entrusted Ling'er to bring me earlier, Feiyu!"
Lin Xuan said.
The Foundation Establishment Pills inside the Nine Heavens Holy Land require quite a few sect contribution points.
Back then, the Zhao siblings were only at the Foundation Establishment Realm themselves.
Being able to gather that Foundation Establishment Pill was also extremely difficult.
"Lin Xuan, you are being polite with me.
The three of us came out from the same place.
When we were miscellaneous disciples, wasn't it you who did the chores for Ling'er?
Alright, this is old news from many years ago.
It makes us sound like we are so old!"
Zhao Feiyu laughed.
Lin Xuan was not wearing the attire of the Saint Son of the Nine Heavens Holy Land.
It seemed that Zhao Ling'er had not told her brother Zhao Feiyu about him ascending to the position of Saint Son.
"By the way, Lin Xuan, do you know who the third Saint Son of our Nine Heavens Holy Land is?
I have met a few people who mentioned our third Saint Son, but I don't know the name.
If it's that bastard Zhuge Qing, you don't need to tell me."
Zhao Feiyu said.
"It is me!"
Lin Xuan said with a smile.
"You?"
"Stop bragging.
You aren't even a reserve Saint Son.
There are so many disciples of the older generation in the Void Core Realm in the Nine Heavens Holy Land; there is no way it would be your turn."
Zhao Feiyu waved his hand and said bluntly, hitting him with reality.
He just assumed Lin Xuan was joking.
"I really am!"
Then, Lin Xuan smiled, took out the Saint Son attire, and with a thought, it automatically put itself on his body.
A long time later...
"Holy crap!!"
Zhao Feiyu looked up and down at that exquisite Golden Sun Robe, and two words popped out of his mouth after a long time.
A moment later, Lin Xuan and Zhao Feiyu set off together, rushing towards the nearest place where a disciple had sent a distress signal.
"Sigh, my identity token fell into the belly of a demon while I was on a mission, otherwise I wouldn't have doubted your identity."
Zhao Feiyu looked at Lin Xuan with quite a bit of emotion.
His heart was quite complex.
When he left a few months ago, Lin Xuan was only at the Qi Condensing Realm.
Now, he had transformed into the third Saint Son of the Nine Heavens Holy Land.
It felt as if he were dreaming.
However, when Lin Xuan explained to Zhao Feiyu that he had obtained the inheritance of the Emperor Beiming, he felt much more relieved.
"The inheritance of Emperor Beiming!"
During the flight, Zhao Feiyu looked at Lin Xuan to the side.
He was truly happy for Lin Xuan in his heart.
In the next half month, Lin Xuan and Zhao Feiyu traveled together.
They left their traces in over a dozen cities in the Demonic Cloud Ridge, and most of the demonic creatures that escaped from the Demonic Cloud Ridge were killed.
Only a very small number of demonic creatures hid in the poor mountains and treacherous waters of the vast territory.
If one were to search for them specifically, even if all the disciples of the Nine Heavens Holy Land were dispatched, they would not be able to sweep them all in decades.
Afterwards, the Holy Lord Gongsun Chi gave an order to leave only a small number of Nine Heavens Holy Land disciples to guard the many human cities outside the Demonic Cloud Ridge, returning in half a year.
The rest of the disciples returned to the Nine Heavens Holy Land.
The matter of the large spatial demon cave in the Demonic Cloud Ridge was finally pacified
