138: Hunting fifth-level monsters

Jiang E nodded slightly: "That's true. Give me these Medicinal Pills!"

With that, she put away the Medicinal Pills.

Lu Xingchen smiled and said, "Thank you, Senior Sister Jiang E. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave here."

After bidding farewell to Jiang E, Lu Xingchen entered the Tianlun Mountain Range.

Xu Feng's corpse was still in the Storage Ring. He only needed one demon core from a Fifth-rank Demonic Beast to refine an Earth Fiend Puppet of the Martial King Realm.

With this Earth Fiend Puppet, his combat power would increase significantly.

Although he could also buy demon cores at the inner sect market, there was no need to spend that extra money.

He was very confident in his strength; hunting a Fifth-rank Demonic Beast was quite easy for him.

After taking a breath concealing pill, Lu Xingchen walked deeper into the Tianlun Mountain Range.

Finally, at the peak of a mountain, Lu Xingchen found a suitable Yao Beast.

It was a snake-type Yao Beast, fifth tier five-star, currently in human form, appearing as a burly man.

When it saw Lu Xingchen, it immediately became tense.

How did this human get to the mountain top?

The Yao Beasts at the foot of the mountain actually couldn't stop him!

Also, why was there no trace of fighting Qi fluctuations on him?

Either he was a Mortal, or his strength was far above its own, so it couldn't discern his cultivation.

But could a Mortal with no combat power enter the Tianlun Mountain Range?

"Human, leave my territory!"

The snake-type Yao Beast let out a roar.

Lu Xingchen activated his fighting Qi, displaying the strength of a One-Star Grand Martial Master without reservation, then smiled and said, "Junior would like to borrow something from you."

The snake-type Yao Beast relaxed.

It was just a One-star Martial King, impossible to be its opponent, it could be dealt with easily.

"What do you want?"

The snake-type Yao Beast asked leisurely.

"To borrow your demon core for a while."

Upon hearing this, the snake-type Yao Beast immediately became enraged.

"Kid, you're too arrogant!"

With that, it charged towards Lu Xingchen, striking out with a palm.

Lu Xingchen, however, showed no fear. He used the "Heaven Swallowing Art," and his Aura instantly surged, his Realm rising from One-star Martial King to Five-Star Martial King. Then, he immediately used "Stone Shattering Palm" to clash with the snake-type Yao Beast.

Feeling the change in Lu Xingchen's Aura, the snake-type Yao Beast was greatly astonished.

But it had no time to change its move, so it could only increase the power in its palm and clash with Lu Xingchen.

The snake-type Yao Beast was shaken back several steps, while Lu Xingchen stood firm, unmoving.

The snake-type Yao Beast gasped, and said sharply, "What a despicable human, deliberately suppressing your Realm to mislead me. But it doesn't matter, even if you are a Five-Star Martial King, you are still no match for me!"

Lu Xingchen was too lazy to explain and said indifferently, "Return to your true form, otherwise you won't stand a chance!"

The snake-type Yao Beast laughed uproariously: "Hahaha, you want to see my true form? You'll need the ability to do so first!"

With that, he summoned a long sword and charged towards Lu Xingchen, striking down with a sword.

Lu Xingchen also took out his shadow sword and clashed with the snake-type Yao Beast.

As soon as they exchanged blows, the snake-type Yao Beast felt immense pressure.

Once its Demonic Power came into contact with Lu Xingchen's shadow sword, half of it would inexplicably disappear.

This meant it simply had no power to contend with Lu Xingchen.

More importantly, its greatest strength, speed, was also suppressed by Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen's Ethereal Steps was truly too elusive; it couldn't even touch his clothes.

In just three minutes, the snake-type Yao Beast had sustained over a dozen wounds.

Lu Xingchen, on the other hand, was completely unharmed and composed.

The snake-type Yao Beast let out a roar and summoned its true form.

A giant black snake, ten zhang long, appeared on the mountain peak.

It then fiercely swung its tail at Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen activated "Ethereal Steps" and easily dodged it.

He then continued to attack the snake-type Yao Beast.

After transforming into its true form, the snake-type Yao Beast's defense increased several times. Logically, an ordinary Five-Star Martial King would not be able to break through its defense.

But Lu Xingchen was a bug.

He possessed the "Blade Breaker" talent, which granted him fifty percent Qi penetration.

Lu Xingchen discovered that not only fighting Qi, but even Demonic Power still had a penetration effect.

With the help of this talent, Lu Xingchen easily broke through the snake-type Yao Beast's defense, leaving streaks of blood on its body.

The presence of the Purple Crystal Flame prevented the snake-type Yao Beast's wounds from healing, and blood continuously seeped out.

"A-Li, save me!"

The snake-type Yao Beast let out a wail.

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingchen was startled.

There's a helper?

As its voice fell, a surge of Demonic Power shot from behind Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen was already prepared and activated the shadow sword's displacement skill, dodging this fatal blow.

Lu Xingchen then turned his head and discovered a fox-type Yao Beast, which was also a fifth tier five-star.

The fox-type Yao Beast's tone carried a hint of shock: "To be able to avoid that, it seems you are indeed not simple! Human, I'll give you one last chance, leave this place. Otherwise, my husband and I will join forces to kill you!"

Lu Xingchen sneered, "I'm not afraid of two of you!"

With that, he gripped his shadow sword and continued to hack at the snake-type Yao Beast.

The fox-type Yao Beast was both shocked and enraged, and hurriedly attacked from behind Lu Xingchen.

Lu Xingchen once again used the shadow sword's displacement skill, avoiding the fox-type Yao Beast's attack, and once again left a wound on the snake-type Yao Beast.

The fox-type Yao Beast was extremely anxious.

This human was too strange; why could he avoid its attacks so easily?

It hurriedly ran to the snake-type Yao Beast, shielded it behind itself, and took out a spirit fruit, feeding it to the snake-type Yao Beast.

The snake-type Yao Beast's injuries actually recovered completely in an instant.

The snake-type Yao Beast looked at the fox-type Yao Beast and exclaimed, "A-Li, this spirit fruit was for you to Breakthrough to the sixth tier, how can you waste it on me like this?"

The fox-type Yao Beast said softly, "Fool, if it weren't for you, even reaching the sixth tier would be meaningless. Don't think about these things, let's deal with the enemy in front of us first. This human is very strong!"

Hearing the conversation between the two Yao Beasts, Lu Xingchen's heart also trembled.

Yao Beasts also have affection and emotions.

This fox-type Yao Beast actually gave up the chance to Breakthrough to the sixth tier, just to save her husband's life.

But unfortunately, humans and Yao Beasts are different.

Lu Xingchen could not let them go.

His greatest respect for an opponent was to completely annihilate them!

"Let's use that move!" the snake-type Yao Beast said in a deep voice.

"Alright!" the fox-type Yao Beast nodded slightly.

The two Yao Beasts transformed into human form, then intertwined their fingers, and powerful Demonic Power fluctuations emanated from them.

Lu Xingchen was startled.

They still had a trump card?

He couldn't let them unleash their ultimate move.

Lu Xingchen raised his shadow sword and slashed at the two Yao Beasts.

A milky-white Demonic Power shield suddenly appeared on the two Yao Beasts.

Lu Xingchen's shadow sword struck the Demonic Power shield, creating ripples, but failed to break through its defense.
