132: Chapter 132 Is that all you've got? Then I'll have to skin you alive to make boots!

Zzzzt—!

The Thunder-Fire Demon Lizard seemed to understand Su Yang's provocative words.

A fierce light flared in its murky vertical pupils, and the third eye in the middle of its forehead suddenly snapped open.

A stream of purple-red lightning, like a high-pressure water gun, rushed straight at Su Yang's face with a hair-raising, explosive sound!

This bolt of thunder was even more violent than ordinary lightning.

Wherever it passed, even the air was ionized, leaving a burnt smell.

Ah! Boss, watch out!

Reba, hiding in the car, shrieked in fear and covered her eyes, not daring to look.

Child's play.

Su Yang stood where he was, not even bothering to dodge.

He gently raised his left hand, and the crystal-clear "Ice Bracelet" on his wrist instantly lit up with a faint blue glow.

Little White Strip, time to work.

If you can't block it, I'll stew you tonight.

...I'll block! I'll block, okay?!

The Thousand-Year Ice Chi, which had been playing dead, instantly bristled.

Although it had turned into a bracelet, it was still a half-step Yao Beast King, so it could... barely withstand this bit of lightning!

Hum!

A layer of frigid, ice-blue light shield instantly unfolded in front of Su Yang.

That was the Qi of Ten-Thousand-Year Black Ice, as hard as diamond.

Boom—!

The purple-red lightning slammed into the ice shield, erupting with a blinding, intense light.

The terrifying shockwave shattered all the surrounding loose rocks, and even the ground was plowed into two deep trenches.

However.

The smoke and dust dissipated.

Su Yang was still standing in the same spot, his hairstyle completely undisturbed, and not even a corner of his clothes was wrinkled.

Only Little White Strip on his wrist was shivering from the electric shock, black smoke rising from its scales, and its originally crystal-clear body had turned a bit dark.

Numb... I'm numbed to death...

Little White Strip spat out a puff of black smoke, its eyes brimming with tears.

This is a mutated lightning! It has fire poison!

Not bad, the resistance is okay.

Su Yang nodded with satisfaction, then his gaze sharpened as he looked at the giant lizard that was still charging up.

Finished attacking? Then it's my turn.

Clang!

The seven star dragon abyss sword was unsheathed.

Cold light like water, Sword Qi crisscrossed.

Since you have thick skin and flesh, taste this move.

Su Yang tapped his toes, and his whole body disappeared from the spot as if teleporting.

When he reappeared, he was already hovering above the giant lizard's head.

Heavenly Sword: Dragon Slayer!

Although this lizard wasn't a Dragon, in Su Yang's eyes, it was about the same as a loach.

A terrifying Sword Qi over ten meters long, accompanied by a screeching sound that tore through the Void Realm, crashed down!

The giant lizard felt a fatal threat and tried in terror to crawl back into the cracks of the rocks.

But its speed was as slow as a snail in front of Su Yang.

Pfft!

It was like a hot knife cutting through butter.

The incredibly hard purple-red scales, which could even deflect bullets, were as brittle as thin paper before this sword strike.

The Sword Qi cut directly from the top of its head all the way to the tip of its tail.

Split in two!

Bang!

The two huge halves of the corpse crashed to the ground, the cuts smooth as a mirror; the dark purple blood hadn't even had time to gush out before being instantly frozen by the cold Qi attached to the sword.

One-hit kill!

Ding! Congratulations to the Host for killing [Thunder-Fire Demon Lizard], obtaining 500 points!

Ding! Obtained Materials: [Complete Thunder-Fire Lizard Skin] x1

Ding! Obtained Materials: [Thunder-Fire Yao Beast Core] x1 (Essence of a Golden Core Stage Yao Beast, containing violent Thunder-Fire power)

Ding! Obtained Ingredients: [Select Lizard Tenderloin] x500 jin (Firm texture, chewy, like an upgraded version of bullfrog)

Su Yang landed, performed a sword flourish, and sheathed the sword.

Only 500 points? So poor.

He curled his lips in disdain, but his mood improved slightly when he saw the dropped Materials.

Mary, come over and get to work.

Su Yang pointed at the corpse on the ground.

Skin this, and when we get back, I'll make each of you a set of tight leather suits. It can increase lightning resistance, so you won't be afraid of electric leaks when we Dual Cultivate in the future.

Mary, who had just gotten out of the car, heard this; she had originally wanted to complain about the Boss using her as manual labor, but her eyes instantly lit up.

Tight leather suits?

Increase lightning resistance?

This is good stuff!

Alright Boss! Let me handle this rough work!

Mary excitedly pulled out a small silver knife and skillfully began skinning it.

The technique was even more professional than a professional butcher; it was clear she hadn't done little of this "murder and looting" business in the past.

Reba, meanwhile, covered her nose, looking at the big pile of red and white meat, feeling a bit nauseous.

Boss... this meat... can it really be eaten?

Why not?

Su Yang picked out the tenderest piece of tenderloin and stored it in the System space.

This is meat that has been tempered by lightning for a long time; it has no parasites and is rich in trace elements.

Later, we'll find a sheltered place, and I'll make you stone-grilled lizard. Sprinkle some cumin and chili powder, and the kids next door will be crying from envy.

Hearing "cumin and chili powder," Reba swallowed her saliva, and the slight nausea in her heart instantly vanished.

As long as it's made by the Boss, even if it's a lizard... it should be delicious, right?

Master, I found something.

Just then, Chu Ling, who had been searching through the pile of corpses, suddenly spoke.

She held a military tactical tablet that had been crushed out of shape and handed it to Su Yang.

This was found on the body of that scout captain.

Su Yang took the tablet.

The screen was cracked, but it could barely turn on.

There was only a fragmented audio log on it.

Zzzzt...

I am the captain of Scout Team One... We were ambushed...

It wasn't a beast... it was people! A group of people wearing black robes!

They... they are using living people as sacrifices... to summon the thing in the Thunder Pool...

Run... that is an ancient...

The recording stopped abruptly here, ending with a shrill scream and that hair-raising sucking sound.

Black-Robed Person? Human sacrifice?

Su Yang's eyes turned cold.

Why is this plot starting to look more and more like the routine of those cultists causing trouble?

It seems that besides us, there are others who are determined to get the thing in this Thunder Pool.

Su Yang threw the tablet on the ground and crushed it with his foot.

And, this group of people is even more ruthless than I imagined.

Using scouts as sacrifices...

Su Yang looked up toward the depths of the canyon, where the thunder seemed to be more intense, and he could vaguely see bursts of eerie red light churning in the clouds.

Let's go.

Su Yang turned and got into the car.

Since someone helped us lure the monster out, let's go... and cut them off.

Also, Chu Ling.

Yes.

Later, when you see those wearing black robes, don't hold back.

Su Yang's voice carried a chilling murderous intent.

See one, kill one.

In these Kunlun Mountains, there can only be one hunter.

And that is me.
