136: Chapter 136 Eating your own people? You monster are quite frugal with food!

Crack!

A crisp cracking sound rang out, sounding exceptionally harsh in the deathly silent cavern.

Immediately after, the thick layer of ice covering the blood pool, which was as hard as iron, suddenly shattered with countless spiderweb-like cracks.

Boom!

A beam of dark red light shot into the sky, directly shattering the massive ice cap above.

Roar!!!

Accompanied by a roar that seemed to come from the depths of Hell, a giant hand, the size of a truck cab and covered in purple-red scales and lightning runes, suddenly reached out from the depths of the blood pool and gripped the rocks on the edge.

The rocks instantly crumbled and turned into powder.

A nauseating stench of blood, mixed with the violent pressure of thunder, swept through the entire cavern like a tsunami.

It is out... finally, it is out!

The white-haired Protector, held in mid-air by Su Yang, was not afraid at all. Instead, he trembled with excitement, his murky old eyes filled with fanaticism.

Lord Lei Mo! I am your most loyal servant!

Quick! Quick, kill this brat who desecrated the sacred pool! Devour these three top-tier sacrifices!

You will be able to reshape your demonic body and rule the world!

The Protector roared with a hoarse voice, as if he could see his glorious future as the one above all others.

Is this the god you worship?

Su Yang held the Protector by the collar, like a hen waiting to be slaughtered, and looked at the behemoth struggling to crawl out with an expression of disgust.

It was a humanoid monster ten meters tall.

It had no skin; bright red muscle fibers were exposed, wrapped in dense purple electric arcs.

Its head was a giant skull with two balls of eerie green ghost fire burning in its eye sockets. Its fangs were interlocked, and dark red slime was dripping from its mouth.

It looks truly hideous.

Su Yang curled his lips.

And that breath... I can smell it from hundreds of meters away. Has it not brushed its teeth in thousands of years?

Just then.

The Thunder Demon that had just crawled out turned its massive skull, scanning the entire area.

Finally, those two balls of eerie green ghost fire locked tightly onto the Protector in Su Yang's hand.

Blood... a Cultivator's blood...

The Thunder Demon let out a muffled growl, a sound like nails scratching a blackboard that made one's scalp tingle.

Very nourishing...

It seemed not yet fully awake, only instinctively craving high-energy flesh and blood.

Among everyone present, apart from Su Yang and the others whose strength it could not discern, the Protector, who had Cultivated evil arts for many years, had the strongest blood energy and smelled the tastiest.

Boom!

The Thunder Demon suddenly moved.

Its massive body possessed an agility that defied its size. A giant hand, accompanied by the whistling wind, rushed straight towards Su Yang!

The target was none other than the Protector in Su Yang's hand!

Lord Lei Mo! You... you grabbed the wrong person!

The Protector looked at the growing blood-red giant hand, the fanaticism on his face instantly freezing into extreme terror.

I am your servant! I am protecting you!

Don't grab me! Grab him! Grab that brat!

However, the Thunder Demon had no reason whatsoever.

In its eyes, the current Protector was just a walking, high-calorie burger.

Tsk, looks like your master is starving.

Su Yang looked at the giant hand reaching out. Instead of dodging, a wicked smile curled on his lips.

Since you are so loyal, why not sacrifice yourself to fill your master's stomach?

Go, Pikachu!

Su Yang flicked his wrist.

Whoosh!

The Protector, still struggling frantically, turned into a human cannonball and flew precisely into the Thunder Demon's gaping maw.

No!!!

The Protector let out a desperate scream.

Su Yang! I won't let you go even as a ghost!!!

Crack!

The scream came to an abrupt end.

The Thunder Demon opened its bloodthirsty mouth, catching the flying Protector like a peanut, and then slammed its jaws shut.

Splat!

Blood splattered everywhere.

This evil cult Protector, who had lorded over the Kunlun Mountains for years, had not even unleashed a decent Spell before wretchedly becoming the monster's food.

Gulp...

The Thunder Demon did not even chew, swallowing him whole.

Ugh!

After eating, it let out a blood-scented burp.

Reba, in the distance, felt her stomach churn, and she covered her mouth, almost vomiting.

Too brutal!

Too disgusting!

Eating your own kind?

Su Yang was quite calm, even in the mood to comment.

This monster is quite thrifty; it does not waste anything.

But with this old man's leathery, withered skin, is it not afraid of getting something stuck in its teeth?

Rumble!

After devouring the Protector, the Thunder Demon's aura began to skyrocket.

The muscles on its body began to squirm, and layers of black bone armor rapidly grew out.

Its originally blurry facial features became clear, and two curved bull horns grew on top of its head, wrapped in even denser purple-black lightning.

Roar!!!

It roared at the sky, the terrifying sound waves causing stalactites on the cavern ceiling to fall.

Golden Core Peak!

Or even... Half-step Nascent Soul!

A mere Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator sacrifice had allowed its strength to increase by a major level.

Interesting.

Su Yang narrowed his eyes slightly.

It seems this is not just a monster; it is a Corpse Demon refined using the Gu raising method.

Mary, take Reba back.

Su Yang stretched his neck, making a crackling sound.

This thing is a bit dirty; do not get splattered with blood.

Boss, I want to play too!

Mary looked at the now stronger Thunder Demon. Although it was a bit disgusting, the scent of the powerful entity's blood made her eager to move.

Your small frame would not survive a single punch from it.

Su Yang waved his hand.

And this thing is covered in electricity; be careful, or you will be electrocuted into a curly-haired mess.

Oh...

Mary replied dejectedly, picked up the shivering Reba, and flew to a high platform in the cavern to watch the battle.

Chu Ling, you step back too.

Su Yang glanced at the Qing Dynasty female zombie beside him.

This thing's lightning attribute counters you; just help me guard the perimeter.

Yes, Master.

Chu Ling obediently retreated to the side, but her dead-gray eyes remained vigilantly fixed on the Thunder Demon, ready to block an attack at any moment.

In the vast open space, only Su Yang and the ten-meter-tall Thunder Demon remained, confronting each other.

On one side was a tiny human.

On the other side was a demon god like a mountain.

The visual contrast was extreme.

Roar!

After digesting the Protector's energy, the Thunder Demon's ghost-fire eyes locked onto Su Yang again.

It could sense that the energy contained within the little speck before it was a hundred, a thousand times purer than that old man from before!

That was... supreme deliciousness!

Zzzzt!

It lifted its right foot and slammed it onto the ground.

Boom!

The ground instantly shattered, and a purple lightning bolt as thick as a bucket snaked along the ground like a viper, rushing towards Su Yang's legs.

It was so fast that it arrived in the blink of an eye!

Playing with lightning?

Su Yang smiled.

Then let me show you what true lightning techniques are.

He did not draw his sword.

Instead, he stretched out his right hand, palm facing up.

Palm Thunder!

Crackle!

A golden ball of lightning instantly condensed in his palm.

Unlike the sinister purple lightning of the Thunder Demon, the lightning in Su Yang's hand was pure gold!

Utterly Yang! Utterly firm! Righteous and grand!

That was the orthodox Heavenly Master lightning technique of the Longhu Mountain!

Go!

Su Yang waved his hand casually.

The golden lightning ball expanded in the wind, turning into a meteor, and slammed fiercely into the purple lightning bolt.

Rumble!!!

The two lightning bolts collided, erupting with a blinding, intense light.

The entire cavern was illuminated as bright as day.

The next second.

The golden light broke through like bamboo, directly devouring the purple lightning. Its remaining power undiminished, it slammed heavily into the Thunder Demon's chest!

Awoo!

The Thunder Demon, which had been so arrogant just a moment ago, had its massive body blasted back more than ten steps by this Palm Thunder, a large hole blown into the bone armor on its chest, emitting wisps of black smoke.

Is that it?

Su Yang blew on his fingers where there was no smoke.

It is quite big, but it turns out to be all bluster.
