212: A lot of gains

While the middle-aged man was staring intently at Xiao Shi as he fell, he was also constantly attacking the black wild ox.

Although his strength was superior to that of the black wild ox, it wasn't strong enough to completely ignore its attacks.

He also needed to continuously attack to neutralize the black wild ox's repeated charges.

And Xiao Shi, falling at an astonishing speed, was now directly... charging towards the middle-aged man!

The middle-aged man was unleashing a full-force palm strike towards the black wild ox.

Xiao Shi's speed erupted.

Before the middle-aged man's palm strike could hit the black wild ox, Xiao Shi arrived in front of him, actively crashing into the palm strike the middle-aged man had unleashed.

“Damn it!!”

The middle-aged man's expression drastically changed.

At this moment, he completely understood Xiao Shi's intention.

He frantically tried to retract his palm, attempting to pull back the strike.

If he had noticed earlier... he might have had a chance to retract it.

But now... it was clearly too late!

Boom!!

Instantly, Xiao Shi's entire body was sent flying far away by the middle-aged man's palm strike.

As a powerhouse comparable to the Martial Soul Realm, the middle-aged man's full-force palm strike possessed astonishing power.

Even though he had continuously tried to retract his strength, the palm still contained an extremely terrifying force.

“Madman!! This is a f*cking madman!!”

The middle-aged man had absolutely not expected the other party to actively crash into his attack.

The moment he struck Xiao Shi, the prohibition within his body instantly activated!

Blood-colored chains instantly covered his body, and these chains all carried a strange and powerful force.

Making the middle-aged man roar in pain, his entire body was immobilized, unable to move.

The prohibition existing within these natives was not only activated when they killed outsiders.

Instead, as long as they launched an attack on these outsiders, the prohibition would activate.

If the prohibition only activated when they killed outsiders, then it would be too easy for these natives to kill outsiders.

They would only need to cripple the outsider and then throw them in front of a fierce beast, which would naturally deliver the final blow.

The person who placed the prohibition on them had clearly considered this situation long ago and would not allow them to exploit such a loophole.

As long as they attacked an outsider, the prohibition on them would activate!

However, if they killed an outsider, this prohibition would instantly cause them to perish, body and soul.

But without killing the outsider, this prohibition would not be fatal, but it would temporarily seal their strength, rendering them unable to move, and inflicting immense pain as a warning!

Clearly, Xiao Shi had seized upon this point, which was why he actively crashed into his attack!

This sudden situation did not make the enraged black wild ox stop its attack.

It charged forward at an astonishing speed.

While the middle-aged man was immobilized and unable to resist, *Pfft!*

It crashed directly into the middle-aged man's body.

Its sharp long horns, like a sharp sword, pierced into the middle-aged man's body, entering through his chest and exiting through his back.

And with its continuous forward charge, it carried the middle-aged man's body, crashing with a loud bang against a distant stone wall, shattering the entire massive stone monument.

Blood gushed from the middle-aged man's mouth, and he instantly suffered extremely severe injuries!

A strong sense of mortal danger also enveloped his entire mind.

Fortunately, the prohibition on him did not last too long and began to dissipate.

The middle-aged man immediately gathered all his strength and threw a punch.

Boom!

A lightning-fast punch fiercely struck the black wild ox's head, sending the entire massive black wild ox flying directly away.

The long horns that had penetrated his body were also pulled out of the middle-aged man as the black wild ox flew backward.

Pfft!

Immediately, a fountain of blood gushed from the middle-aged man's chest.

The middle-aged man's face was pale, and he quickly covered his wound with his hand.

Although cultivators of body refinement like them possessed strong vitality, this injury was too severe, causing his eyes to start blurring.

“Damn... it!”

The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, struggling to stay conscious.

If not for the activation of the prohibition, he would never have been severely injured by this black wild ox.

He had intended to use this black wild ox to eliminate this outsider, but instead, he was outsmarted by the outsider!

He struggled to his feet from the ground, his entire body trembling and swaying.

Just then, an incredibly intense sense of danger suddenly exploded in his mind!

He didn't even have time to look, instinctively raising his hand to block.

Boom!

His body, like a tattered sack, tumbled and flew backward.

His already severely injured body became even more damaged.

He laboriously raised his head, looking forward.

Upon seeing it, his pupils violently constricted.

“You...”

“How... is this possible!!”

He looked at the outsider standing before him in disbelief.

He could still see the numerous bones and flesh in the other party's chest that had been shattered by his previous palm strike.

Even his internal organs were visible... This kind of injury was absolutely no less severe than his own.

Yet the other party seemed completely fine!

Not only was there no hint of weakness, but he could even attack him!

And the strength in his attacks was extremely formidable, completely unaffected by the injuries on his body.

This was truly incredible!

Xiao Shi looked down coldly at the middle-aged man.

Everything was as he had anticipated.

By actively crashing into this person's attack, he could trigger the prohibition on him, thereby allowing the black wild ox to successfully crash into him.

This way, even if this person didn't die, he would definitely be severely injured.

And he himself was just a corpse.

There was no such thing as death for him.

Even if he suffered some seemingly fatal severe injuries, it would have no effect.

Unless his entire body was completely blown apart, that would be a true death in every sense of the word.

And according to Xiao Shi's judgment, although this person's strength was much greater than his own, he had not reached the point where he could blow apart his body with a single palm strike.

As long as he could withstand one of his palm strikes, he could reverse the entire situation!

“Die!”

A cold glint flashed in Xiao Shi's eyes.

He charged towards the middle-aged man at the fastest speed.

At this moment, the middle-aged man's injuries had already blurred his entire vision, making it impossible for him to resist Xiao Shi's attacks any longer.

He could only lie on the ground, allowing Xiao Shi to strike him.

“So tough!”

Xiao Shi struck him for quite a while before finally killing him!

This also made him experience for the first time the formidable physical strength of a body refiner comparable to the Martial Soul Realm!

If not for the other party being severely injured, with just this level of physical strength, even if he stood there and let Xiao Shi attack, Xiao Shi would have a hard time even scratching him!

Presumably, this was also the reliance of the natives of this place, who did not worry about outsiders coming to scheme against them.

Although the prohibition on them prevented them from attacking outsiders, it wasn't that easy for outsiders to kill them based on this point alone.

Everyone living in this Realm was a body refiner with powerful physical bodies.

However, among these outsiders, those who had undergone body refinement were incredibly rare.

Basically, these outsiders couldn't harm these natives.

They didn't need to worry that these outsiders would act against them.

After getting rid of the middle-aged man, Xiao Shi quickly picked up the items he dropped after his death.

It was another Green Treasure Token.

Then, Xiao Shi didn't hesitate for a moment, turning to kill the black wild ox not far away.

The black wild ox's head had been struck by the middle-aged man's full-force punch earlier, and it was now on its last breath.

Xiao Shi quickly went forward and killed it, successfully dropping another Green Treasure Token.

In an instant, the Green Treasure Tokens in his hand directly reached four!

“Good harvest!”

Xiao Shi smiled.

Under normal circumstances, neither this middle-aged man nor this black wild ox could have been killed by him.

This time, he completely relied on his intellect to eliminate both of them in one fell swoop.

Not only did he gain two Green Treasure Tokens, but the Green Treasure Token's kill record also added two Martial Soul Realm kills.

Xiao Shi lowered his head to look at the injuries on his body.

Although the effect of the body healing fluid had disappeared, his corpse itself possessed a certain degree of self-healing ability.

Now, he only needed to wait for it to slowly self-heal.

Xiao Shi was becoming more and more proficient in using this corpse, gradually understanding how to leverage its characteristics to achieve unexpected effects in battle.

“Continue!”

He moved his body, starting to go to other places to hunt fierce beasts... This hunting operation would only last for three days in total.

Three days later, all the clansmen of the Tai Mu Clan arrived at the teleportation array one after another.

Most of their faces were filled with excitement, clearly having made considerable gains this time.

Xiao Shi had arrived early.

These three days had also brought him immense gains.

Although he hadn't encountered any more natives who wanted to kill him, killing the fierce beasts in this place alone had already brought him a rich harvest.

He looked at the record in the Green Treasure Token.

Kill count: 613 (Blood Martial Realm), 2 (Martial Soul Realm)

In addition, in terms of Green Treasure Tokens, he had also successfully collected ten!

As for white treasure tokens, he had accumulated as many as 614!

Xiao Shi believed that with his current number of treasure tokens, it should be enough to exchange for powerful treasures in the Myriad Treasure Pagoda.

This made him eagerly anticipate the upcoming trip to the Myriad Treasure Pagoda.

Soon, all the clansmen of the Tai Mu Clan had arrived, with only the Clan Leader remaining.

Taking advantage of this time, Xiao Shi inquired about information regarding the treasure tokens from these Tai Mu Clan members.

He mainly wanted to know if there were other treasure tokens besides the white treasure token and the Green Treasure Token.

After some inquiry, he learned that there were indeed other treasure tokens in this Realm.

However, these treasure tokens were incredibly rare.

Even the Green Treasure Token was quite uncommon for these natives.

And above the Green Treasure Token, there was the legendary Blue Treasure Token.

However, these clansmen only knew of the existence of the Blue Treasure Token but did not know the specific method for exchanging it.

According to them, the Blue Treasure Token was like a legend throughout the entire Realm.

Very few people had actually seen a Blue Treasure Token.

It was said that the last time a Blue Treasure Token appeared was over a hundred years ago.

Since then, no Blue Treasure Token had appeared again.

Xiao Shi also felt regretful about this.

If he were strong enough, he believed he could drop Blue Treasure Tokens.

But there was nothing he could do.

He couldn't kill beings above the Martial Soul Realm.

Even killing Martial Soul Realm creatures required special circumstances for him to achieve.

Even the weakest Martial Soul Realm creature, like the Monkey King from earlier, he needed to rely on sneak attacks and the consumption of body healing fluid to slowly wear him down.

This was also because the Monkey King itself was not a fierce beast skilled in defense.

If it were a fierce beast skilled in defense, even the weakest Martial Soul Realm creature, he wouldn't be able to kill it.

This was also the main reason why he hadn't been able to kill any Martial Soul Realm fierce beasts afterward.

The Green Treasure Tokens that dropped later were all from killing a large number of Blood Martial Realm fierce beasts.

At this moment, as everyone waited, suddenly, the entire massive Shuang Ren Mountain violently vibrated.

An earth-shattering explosion came from deep within Shuang Ren Mountain, accompanied by a terrifying beast roar!

This beast roar seemed to be a dragon's roar.

The moment it erupted, the entire Shuang Ren Mountain vibrated even more intensely.

Even the clouds above shattered directly under this beast roar.

In an instant, everyone who heard this beast roar fell into a dazed state, losing their senses.

They all stood rigidly in place, unmoving.

Until the Clan Leader of the Tai Mu Clan arrived from a distance.

“Wake up!”

He let out a low roar, which finally woke everyone from their dazed state.

Under everyone's horrified and fearful expressions, the Clan Leader of the Tai Mu Clan said nothing.

He quickly activated the teleportation array and immediately took everyone away via teleportation.

After Xiao Shi regained consciousness, he still felt a lingering fear.

That state just now... made him extremely terrified!

Not only did his mind fall into a daze, but in that state, his body was also incredibly fragile.

Even body refiners no longer possessed powerful physical bodies.

Even a child, if they had a knife, could have killed them all in that state!

And all of this... was merely from a beast roar!

Just a single beast roar put them all in a state where they could be slaughtered at will.

And if the Clan Leader of the Tai Mu Clan hadn't woken them up, they would have remained in this state for a long time.

This made Xiao Shi clearly realize that the fierce beast that let out this roar must have reached an extremely terrifying level of cultivation.

At the same time, he then discovered... that the entire body of the Clan Leader of the Tai Mu Clan had a massive hole.

His internal organs were no longer visible.

His entire body had been blown through, and even his heart was gone.

However, in this state, the Clan Leader of the Tai Mu Clan merely looked pale and weak, without any signs of death.

“Could it be that when body refinement reaches the Clan Leader's Realm, as long as the head isn't shattered, one cannot die?”

Xiao Shi was deeply moved by this, as there were no powerhouses in the Star Luo Territory whose body refinement had reached such a Realm!

This gave him a completely new understanding of the power of body refinement.

“Rest for a bit, then in two days, we will head to the Myriad Treasure Pagoda.”

The Clan Leader of the Tai Mu Clan said to everyone.
