101: The flames were raging

Wei Xun had been in this world for a long time, but the past two months at Jiaolong Lake were the most peaceful he had ever felt.

If anyone tried to destroy this place, Wei Xun would definitely not agree.

After walking northwest for a long time, Wei Xun finally saw the Black Water Valley that the Bat Demon had mentioned.

This mountain was covered in dense trees, with a rift valley in the middle, which was hard to notice from a distance if one wasn't paying attention.

The reason it was called Black Water Valley was that Wei Xun noticed a small stream flowing into the rift valley from afar.

Because sunlight couldn't penetrate the rift valley, it appeared very dim, so the water flowing into it also looked black.

Perhaps because it was daytime, the vicinity of Black Water Valley was eerily quiet, without any movement.

Wei Xun used Shunfeng Miaor to listen to the surrounding situation and found that it was terrifyingly quiet, with not even a single wild beast.

Immediately after, Wei Xun used the Ten Mile Tracking Cultivation Technique, and instantly smelled a strong scent of blood coming from the valley.

“It seems this is the place!” Wei Xun’s gaze was fixed on the inside of the valley.

“Brother, what are you planning to do?” Si Niang whispered in his ear, “I’m afraid the monsters inside won’t come out until night.”

Hearing Si Niang’s reminder, Wei Xun recalled the Leper dog demon he had encountered near Bi Shui Lake earlier.

That guy also attacked him under the cover of night.

It seemed that cultivating that strange Cultivation Technique had such a side effect.

They couldn't stand sunlight!

“Waiting until night wouldn’t be very advantageous for us!” Wei Xun shook his head.

“Then Brother, you’re not thinking of going in now, are you?” Si Niang asked, somewhat surprised.

“I’m not that foolish!” Wei Xun smiled slightly, “It’s such a gloomy place; I wouldn’t go in even if you invited me.”

“Then Brother, what do you want to do?” Si Niang asked curiously.

“These things are afraid of light and Fire!” Wei Xun picked up a piece of dry wood from the ground and said, “I’m going to learn from Wolong and use Fire attack!”

“What kind of Dragon is Wolong?” Si Niang asked, confused, after hearing him.

“I’ll explain it to you later if there’s a chance!”

After Wei Xun finished speaking, he flipped his wrist and took out the Qiankun Snail, and Si Niang also transformed from a small snake into human form, standing beside Wei Xun.

“Take this snail!” Wei Xun handed the snail to Si Niang and said, “We’ll split up and collect dry firewood, the more the better.”

Hearing Wei Xun’s words, Si Niang didn’t ask any more questions, took the Qiankun Snail, and turned to head towards the Forest behind her.

Wei Xun went to the Forest on the other side to look for dry firewood.

Because this Forest had dense vegetation, there was a lot of dry firewood fallen on the ground.

Wei Xun even found a dead tree directly, chopped it into several pieces with his long spear, and loaded all of them into his Storage Ring.

When he had collected enough, he returned to the small hillside where he had separated from Si Niang, and not long after, Si Niang also returned from the other side.

“Now, just watch!” Wei Xun took the Qiankun Snail, which was now filled with firewood.

It was almost noon, the sun was directly overhead, and it was summer, a clear sunny day.

It was the perfect time to set the mountain on Fire.

“My sin, my sin!” Wei Xun clasped his hands together and offered a simple prayer, then, with a mischievous smile, he took the Qiankun Snail and headed towards the valley.

Si Niang transformed back into a small snake and burrowed into Wei Xun’s clothes.

After approaching the valley, Wei Xun piled the dry firewood at the entrance, and even under the large trees near the valley.

If he was going to burn it, he had to make the Fire big.

Once the firewood was arranged, Wei Xun opened his mouth and spat out several balls of Fire.

The dry firewood ignited upon contact with Fire and quickly spread to the surroundings, the Fire growing larger and larger.

During this time, Wei Xun continuously spat Fire around, thoroughly igniting the Forest surrounding the valley.

Then Wei Xun retreated to a distance, quietly waiting for the Fire to burn.

Thick smoke was also blown by a wind into the rift in the valley.

The Firelight blazed, and even from a distance, Wei Xun could feel the heat baking his face.

Sure enough, not long after the great Fire ignited, several small demons rushed out of the valley in a panic.

At this moment, they were covered in ash, clearly choked by the thick smoke.

And because the entrance was piled with dry firewood burning fiercely, they were immediately set ablaze upon rushing out, and then all jumped into the nearby stream to extinguish the Fire on their bodies.

However, even if they extinguished the Fire on their bodies, the great Fire had already severely burned them, and each monster was left with only a breath, dying on the ground.

But after observing from a distance for a long time, Wei Xun did not sense the Qi of a Pure Yang Realm monster.

“Is that Demon King not in the valley?” Wei Xun frowned slightly.

While he was wondering, a black shadow suddenly shot up into the sky from the valley, escaping the sea of Fire and hovering in mid-air, then spread a pair of enormous black wings.

“He’s out!” Wei Xun looked at the Bat Demon flying in mid-air; its wingspan was incredibly exaggerated, so much so that from afar, it looked like a glider flying in the sky.

As Wei Xun looked, the Bat Demon King’s gaze also fell on the Forest where Wei Xun was located.

Wei Xun noticed the Bat Demon King’s gaze, so he extended his right hand and raised his middle finger, a look of mockery on his face.

Indeed, seeing this, the Bat Demon’s face twisted in rage.

This great Fire must have been set by this guy!

So the Bat Demon swooped down from the sky towards Wei Xun’s location.

Standing on the ground, Wei Xun immediately felt the Qi emanating from the Bat Demon.

It was almost identical to what he had felt when fighting the Old Vulture and the Old Fox on Black Tiger Mountain before.

It seemed this Bat Demon’s Cultivation was also roughly at the first layer of the Pure Yang Realm!

Now that he was at the third layer of the Body Tempering Realm, he had the strength to fight.

Thinking of this, Wei Xun’s right hand made a grabbing motion in the air, and his Destined Long Spear instantly appeared in his hand.

After the Bat Demon King flew closer, it suddenly stopped in the air and vigorously flapped its wings, and instantly, countless wind blades came slashing towards Wei Xun’s direction, covering the sky and earth.

Seeing this, Wei Xun quickly used Shadowless Step to dodge backward.

And the Forest that was hit by the wind blades had its trees directly cut into fragments by the wind blades.

“He’s got some tricks!” Wei Xun didn’t dare to be careless upon seeing this, and immediately gathered electric light in both palms, letting it flow over the entire long spear.

The Bat Demon King sniffed its nose, then looked at Wei Xun with sudden interest: “Your fresh blood smells very delicious. Since you’ve delivered yourself to my doorstep, this King won’t be polite!”

“Managing twenty or thirty monsters, and you dare to call yourself a Demon King!” Wei Xun couldn’t help but sneer, “When I was in elementary school, I was a class monitor and managed more people than you.”

“Nonsense!” The Bat Demon King grabbed in the air with both hands, and two crimson iron hooks instantly appeared in his hands, then he pounced towards Wei Xun and hooked at him.

Wei Xun knew that these great demons of the Pure Yang Realm were incredibly strong, and it was best not to take them head-on.

So he fiercely thrust out the long spear that had been accumulating electricity for a long time in his hand.

A bolt of Thunder Serpent light instantly shot straight towards the pouncing Bat Demon King.

However, this Bat Demon’s speed was incredibly fast; facing the Thunder Serpent’s attack, it actually twisted its body in the air and easily dodged the Thunder Serpent.

At the same time, the crimson iron hooks in his hands were already coming towards Wei Xun’s face.
