38: Centennial Ginseng

"General Black Vulture of Black Tiger Mountain challenges you!" After Old Vulture appeared, he also announced his name like the other Instructors.

This surprised Wei Xun.

"Just surrender!" At this moment, Si Niang, who had been hiding under Wei Xun's clothes, advised him.

"If I don't let them teach me a lesson, the Tiger King won't let it go!" Wei Xun responded in a low voice, then cupped his fists and bowed to Old Vulture.

"Originally, to win the challenge, you needed to fight five matches!" However, Old Vulture was not in a hurry to act and instead said, "But since you've fought until no one dares to challenge you, then I, this General, will face you. However, I, this General, will only make three moves. If you are still alive after three moves, or still within the arena, you win!"

"Can I just surrender?" Wei Xun asked with a bitter smile.

"No!" Old Vulture's tone was neither cold nor indifferent; no emotion could be discerned from him.

"Uh!" Wei Xun gritted his teeth, suddenly feeling a surge of anger. What kind of Demon Mountain was this? The Demon King was too stingy. He just wanted to find a place to lay low and develop, but he still managed to get into trouble.

"I'm going to make my move!" Old Vulture's bald face showed no expression, but his eyes suddenly moved, and from beneath his wide black feather robe, he brandished a curved saber resembling a crescent moon.

A cold light flashed, arriving in the blink of an eye.

Wei Xun's pupils contracted in shock; he could only raise the long spear in his hand in front of him, just barely blocking the saber.

However, the moment the blade collided with the spear shaft, Wei Xun felt the violent power carried by the blade.

Old Vulture didn't look strong, yet a casual swing of his saber carried such immense power.

Although he blocked the blade, Wei Xun was still sent flying by the immense force, retreating several steps before barely managing to steady himself.

"Not bad!" Old Vulture smiled, "Faster reaction than I imagined!"

"Hoo!" Wei Xun exhaled a long breath, his arms trembling slightly.

If it were a real life-and-death struggle, Old Vulture could have completely taken advantage of the moment he was sent flying to deliver a fatal blow.

But Old Vulture did not do so; instead, he waited until Wei Xun stood firm before preparing to launch his second attack.

"Come on!" Wei Xun exhaled a long breath, preparing to meet the second attack.

Old Vulture nodded in satisfaction, then swung the curved saber in his hand from his original spot, unleashing a crescent-shaped saber Qi from a distance.

The speed of this saber Qi was even faster than Old Vulture's previous attack.

The moment Wei Xun saw the saber Qi, he knew it was too late to dodge and could only continue to raise his spear to block again.

Just like the previous move, although Wei Xun blocked the attack, he was still sent flying.

And this time, Wei Xun's mouth even bled slightly.

Although the saber Qi was blocked by Wei Xun, a crack appeared on the shaft of his Lifebound Weapon because it had blocked that move, which caused Wei Xun to spit blood.

Because a Lifebound Weapon, although a weapon, is connected to the wielder's body.

If the Lifebound Weapon is heavily damaged, the wielder's body will also be injured.

"Not bad, one more move!" Old Vulture snorted coldly.

Immediately after, he was seen gripping the curved saber with sudden force, and a dark red Qi ignited, enveloping the curved saber in his hand.

"Damn it!" Wei Xun cursed inwardly. This Old Vulture simply wanted his life. Just by looking at Old Vulture's current movements, he knew what big move he was brewing.

"Be careful!" Old Vulture swung the curved saber again. This time, the saber Qi unleashed was even more substantial than before, and it was enveloped in a dark red Qi.

Moreover, the range of this saber Qi was very large, like an eagle with a six-meter wingspan pouncing towards him, making it impossible to dodge.

"You can't take it!" Just then, Si Niang, who was hiding in Wei Xun's clothes, suddenly spoke up to warn Wei Xun.

Wei Xun was about to hold his spear to block again, but with Si Niang's reminder, a cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.

Seeing the dark red saber Qi approaching, Wei Xun could only use Shadowless Step and Earth Escape Technique simultaneously, instantly dropping below the ground, just barely dodging Old Vulture's attack that covered half the arena.

"Where's Grey Fur?"

"He's gone!"

"Where did he go?"

"He couldn't have been chopped into pieces, could he!"

The monsters watching outside were all dumbfounded by this scene, whispering and discussing among themselves.

Old Vulture frowned slightly, then fixed his gaze on the ground.

Immediately after, Wei Xun jumped out from the ground and let out a long breath.

After the brief exchange just now, Wei Xun profoundly understood the gap in Realms.

"Earth Escape Technique!" Old Vulture smiled slightly, "You win!"

Then, Old Vulture put away the curved saber in his hand, then leaped into the air and returned to his stone chair.

"Congratulations to Grey Fur for winning the Stand to the End competition!" Seeing this, the Chicken Demon standing on the stone announced the results of the competition: "He will receive a hundred-year immortal ginseng bestowed by the Tiger King."

As soon as the Chicken Demon finished speaking, a graceful female demoness carried a wooden tray and walked towards Wei Xun.

And on the wooden tray was the hundred-year immortal ginseng.

However, Wei Xun looked at the ginseng-like object on the wooden tray and suddenly felt a sense of familiarity. Although it was only as thick as a finger, its shape and appearance were very similar to the ginseng he had stolen from Immortal Mountain.

However, this ginseng only had one fine rootlet.

Wei Xun suppressed his surprise and took the immortal ginseng from the wooden tray with both hands. The female demoness then lowered her head slightly, turned, and returned to the Tiger King's side.

Immediately after, the Tiger King raised a wine bowl and said to all the monsters present, "The assembly continues, eat and drink well!"

With the Tiger King's command, all the monsters began to continue drinking wine and eating meat, and the remaining wine and meat were also frantically snatched by the monsters.

However, the Tiger King then stood up and returned to his Immortal Cave with his two Generals and strategist.

After Wei Xun came down from the arena, he did not stay there, but returned to the Mountain Forest he was responsible for with Xiong Er and Da Huang.

Although Da Huang's strength was not great, from the beginning of the assembly, this guy had been snatching food and didn't pay any attention to what was happening in the arena.

"Big Brother, this is for you!"

Back in the Forest, Wei Xun was about to lecture Xiong Er, the big simpleton, but Xiong Er took out the Medicinal Pill he had won in today's competition from his embrace.

"For me?" Wei Xun was somewhat surprised by Xiong Er's reaction.

"Yes!" Xiong Er nodded earnestly, "Big Brother, you gave me so many good things to eat, so I must also give Big Brother some good things."

Upon hearing this, Wei Xun's anger completely vanished. He took the black Medicinal Pill called Forging Bone Spirit Pill and began to examine it.

This thing indeed had a very similar smell to the Medicinal Pill stolen from the Immortal Mountain alchemy room in the Da Kou Space.

However, the one stolen from Immortal Mountain smelled richer and felt purer.

The one given by the Tiger King had more Impurities and was much cruder in appearance.

"Your intention is enough!" But after playing with the Medicinal Pill for a while, Wei Xun returned it to Xiong Er: "Your Big Brother doesn't need this, you keep it and eat it yourself!"
