112: Chapter 112 The First Half-Demon Being on Earth! The Qinling Mountains Anomaly!

"There is still so much you don't know!"

The night sky was sliced open, and a blinding, gorgeous spear radiance burst forth.

Chang Chen leaped through the air, looking like a world-shocking god of war, peerless and invincible.

Ying Zhi's mind was highly tense; he urgently mobilized the silver Ascending Snakes that were surrounding and attacking to block the path ahead, buying time for his own retreat.

Crackle—!!

One by one, the green Ascending Snakes were shattered by the long spear, turning into shards of energy that exploded outwards, slicing the tall, thick giant trees into pieces.

Chang Chen could not fly, nor did he have a wing ability, but the Transcendent energy within him was extremely dense. By utilizing the flowing air currents, he could briefly tread on air for a few steps.

Relying on these few steps, he shattered the encirclement of the green Ascending Snakes, swung his long spear, and slashed directly at Ying Zhi's body!

The surrounding mountains were rich in species; some climbed to the tops of trees, the sparks of intelligence dancing in their eyes, watching the battle between the Transcendent from afar.

This was a black fox; it tilted its head as if it were learning, or perhaps thinking?

After watching for a while, the black fox moved its forelimbs and produced, out of thin air, a sparkling, fiery red fruit that had elemental aura flowing all over it!

Without much hesitation, the black fox opened its mouth wide and swallowed the fiery red fruit in one gulp.

A miraculous scene appeared; the black fox curled up high on a tree branch, its body radiating a fiery red energy glow.

It was like a pile of flames about to burn, charming and dreamlike, making the surrounding small animals fearful and causing larger creatures to glance sideways. They wanted to approach and snatch it, only to find their Souls trembling.

They hid in the shadows, their glowing green eyes staring at every movement on the large tree.

Time passed quickly; after about three or four minutes, the fiery red light on the black fox's body gradually dissipated.

It was only then that one would be shocked to discover that the black fox's hind limbs had disappeared, and it had actually grown legs similar to a human's!

"Cough, cough, cough—"

The black fox's throat was blocked, and it coughed violently.

A clump of bloody foam, wrapping a piece of horizontal bone half a finger long, was spat onto the thick tree trunk.

"...I...am...Semi-Demonic...?!"

The black fox tilted its head, looked at its strange legs, and inexplicably spat out a few unclear words.

The next second.

The black fox, having just attained intelligence, shifted.

After a faint mist passed, its legs disappeared, and its hind limbs reappeared.

While the black fox was exploring its own body, the battle on the distant mountain ridge was still ongoing.

When Chang Chen thrust his silver spear, Ying Zhi, relying on the obstruction of the green Ascending Snakes, gained a moment of respite.

Ying Zhi's [Wind-Travel Wings] unfurled behind him, surpassing the speed of sound, and he instantly blasted away from Chang Chen's attack range.

"Sissy, aren't you very fond of jumping around? Don't run!"

With his attack ineffective, Chang Chen tapped his foot and landed on the crown of another giant tree nearby, his silver spear pointing directly at Ying Zhi, who was hovering in the sky.

"You stinking delivery-boy peasant, don't get too arrogant!"

Ying Zhi's wind wings flapped as he stood in the sky, angrily cursing:

"If it weren't for the great changes in the world and the Spiritual Energy Revival, a small fry like you would only be able to live in the gutter your whole life, not even as good as the pure gold trash can in my house!"

"Heh, is that so?"

Chang Chen withdrew his silver spear and sneered dismissively: "I seem to have heard some news in the south of Chang'an City yesterday,

"The 'Qin-Imitation Ancient Residence' was looted in the middle of the night by a premeditated group of powerful Transcendent; except for a few core clan members, everyone else was brutally slaughtered."

Ying Zhi's face grew darker the more he heard, teetering on the edge of an outburst, but Chang Chen seemed not to notice and teased him to himself:

"I remember the Qin-Imitation Ancient Residence is your home, right? Your relatives are all but gone, so why haven't I seen you wearing mourning clothes?"

"Ahhh, Chang Chen, you are courting death!!"

Ying Zhi was so angry his eyes turned red; he swooped down from the sky, attacking Chang Chen on the tree crown once again.

This time, Ying Zhi did not hold back his strength.

The ink-wash painting fan at his waist circled above his head and, at the moment he swooped down for an instant kill, suddenly unfolded.

A Domain field of Ascending Snakes, about ten square meters in size, moved rapidly along with his figure.

"Interesting, this Ying Zhi has very high natural talent!"

"How long has it been, and his [Ascending Snake Slash] ability proficiency is already about to touch the threshold of 'Major Achievement'!"

Seeing the scene of green snakes hissing within the Ascending Snake Domain field, Chang Chen's expression became serious, and he sighed inwardly.

The heroes of the world are as numerous as carp crossing the river; one must never underestimate anyone!

The status of a [Destined One] is noble; being chosen is a matter of luck, and talent is not the key factor.

Some Destined Ones have extremely low Cultivation levels, barely higher than ordinary people.

Yet there are so many heroes in the world; as far as Chang Chen knows, there are no fewer than ten Transcendent in Chang'an City who are stronger than him!

And that's just the ones known on the surface; who knows if there are any reclusive Buddhist or Daoist masters in the wilderness.

After all, they are newcomers to the path, while those high monks and Daoist priests have spent their whole lives immersed in breathing and meditation, possessing Cultivation knowledge far beyond what ordinary people can imagine.

In the past, these were all useless skills for cultivating the mind and nature.

With the Spiritual Energy Revival, fantasy has shone into reality, and the inherited ancient books and scriptures have a high probability of having undergone strange transformations!

Various thoughts flashed by in an instant; Chang Chen gripped his spear with both hands, his navel-point ability ancestral seed surging wildly, and streams of red metallic elemental power imbued the spear body.

"[Thousand-Force Spear Curtain]—Break!!"

With Chang Chen's ability enhancement, the entire silver spear became as heavy as a thousand jun, colliding with Ying Zhi's Ascending Snake Domain field with absolute, overbearing force!

Boom!!

The explosive roar shattered people's eardrums, and this sound echoed throughout the surrounding sky.

Causing birds and beasts to flee in panic in all directions.

Crack!

Ying Zhi's life level was ultimately inferior, and the Ascending Snake Domain field did not hold up for too long.

More than ten seconds later, amidst a blinding light, it shattered into pieces.

"Cough..."

Blood flowed from Ying Zhi's mouth, and his internal injuries were more than ten times more severe than before!

Even his brocade clothes were affected by the energy storm, shattered and torn, revealing his fair, smooth skin and collarbone.

"Shameless scoundrel!!"

Ying Zhi's face flushed slightly; ignoring his internal injuries, he hurriedly clutched the torn clothes on his shoulders and flew away.

Chang Chen wanted to pursue and kill him, but he could not fly and could only watch helplessly as Ying Zhi escaped from his hands once again.

Seeing Ying Zhi fly to the other side of the mountain ridge and no longer intending to attack, Chang Chen put away his long spear, frowned, and a suspicious look appeared on his face.

"This sissy's movements are so strange!"

"Also, his shoulders are smooth and fair, simply more delicate than a woman's!"

Suddenly, he seemed to realize something and exclaimed: "Could Ying Zhi be a woman!?"

Rumble—!!!

Just at this moment, a violent earthquake suddenly occurred in the ground beneath his feet!

The earth shook and trees swayed, the mountain ridge quaked, like the early signs of a magnitude eight earthquake, causing countless creatures to be terrified!

"An earthquake!?"

"No, this is not an earthquake!"

Chang Chen, on the tree crown, gripped the silver spear stuck in the tree trunk, as if he had sensed something.

He turned his head abruptly and looked at the Qinling Mountain range behind the ridge, which resembled a giant Dragon.

"It is... the Qinling Mountains mutation?!?"
