Huff...
The Moon Gazing Poison Demon, with its oddly peculiar form, reacted with incredible speed. Enraged, it ignored the excruciating pain of its pierced palm, singularly focused on smashing this detestable human boy to death, breaking his muscles and bones.
The physical strength of the Vein Demon is their greatest combat asset and the main reason they have an absolute advantage when battling human cultivators of the sa level.
Just as the Moon Gazing Poison Demon had confidence in its physical strength, it had also believed in the potency of its Poisonous Spirit Qi, though at this mont, the Poisonous Spirit Qi had beco useless, and it could only rely on its physical strength to attempt to turn the tide.
The enormous black demon tail swept in, yet upon witnessing this scene, Yun Xiao did not react with the shock typical of ordinary human cultivators of the sa level; he didn’t even bother to make a single evasive movent.
Within the confident gaze of the Moon Gazing Poison Demon, Yun Xiao did the unexpected by sheathing his invincible Dragon Taming Sword back onto his back, a move that brought yet another hint of surprise to the demon.
Frankly, having suffered considerably from the Dragon Taming Sword earlier, the Moon Gazing Poison Demon had developed a certain apprehension towards this inconspicuous wooden sword. It truly feared that this human youth would strike its tail once more.
A mont ago, the Moon Gazing Poison Demon was determined to strike down this vile boy even at the cost of enduring another sword, and now that the opponent actually put away his trump card, how could it not be overjoyed?
Although it didn’t quite understand what the opponent was thinking, for this human boy to abandon his strength and instead attack where he was weak, was simply the epito of foolishness; it had never seen such a foolish human before.
But was Yun Xiao foolish? Clearly, the answer was no!
Just as the Moon Gazing Poison Demon was confident in its physical strength, so too was Yun Xiao.
At this mont, he intended to use this Low Level Silver Grade Heavenly Spirit to test his physical strength after breaking through to the Floating Life Realm Middle Stage, to see what level he had reached.
Perhaps when facing ordinary human cultivators of the Floating Life Realm Middle Stage, the physical strength of the Moon Gazing Poison Demon could hold the absolute upper hand; unfortunately, this ti, it faced Yun Xiao, an unparalleled prodigy celebrated across the Tenglong Continent.
Thud!
A soft sound echoed, and the next mont the Moon Gazing Poison Demon felt a sudden tightness at the tip of its giant tail, suddenly embraced by both hands of the human boy clad in rough cloth garnts.
"Overestimating yourself!"
At this mont, the Moon Gazing Poison Demon still hadn’t realized what imnse power was hidden within this small human fra. It only knew that the opponent, so overconfident, would inevitably be shattered by its massive tail.
"Hmm?"
However, just as the Moon Gazing Poison Demon activated its Demon ridian Qi, intending to combine it with its physical strength to smash Yun Xiao, it suddenly discovered an irresistible force emanating from the hands of the slender human.
Yun Xiao’s hands seed to possess a mighty force of ten thousand pounds, and with a movent of his arms, the entire body of the Moon Gazing Poison Demon was flung into the air.
Yet Yun Xiao did not loosen his grip, relying instead on that enormous power to fiercely hurl the Moon Gazing Poison Demon toward a nearby giant tree, like an oddly-shaped massive teor hamr.
Crash!
Crack!
The giant tree that required three people to embrace revealed a crack when struck by the Moon Gazing Poison Demon wielded by Yun Xiao, and then shattered and fell.
The towering tree toppled with an impressive sound, yet at this mont, the Moon Gazing Poison Demon could hardly concern itself with the falling tree. The heavy impact left it dazed, unable to distinguish between north, south, east, or west.
"Do you submit now?"
Yun Xiao held the massive tail of the Moon Gazing Poison Demon, temporarily restraining his hidden power, while his mouth emitted a query. This voice reached its ears, finally clearing the demon’s head a bit.
"You vile human, you want to..."
Huff...
As a dignified Low Level Silver Grade Heavenly Demon, the Moon Gazing Poison Demon was not so easily subdued. Regaining its senses, it glanced fiercely at Yun Xiao as if intending to say sothing.
Yet just as the demon uttered its first words, saying only three words of the second sentence, Yun Xiao didn’t give it a chance to continue speaking. Instead, he exerted his strength once more, swinging the giant Moon Gazing Poison Demon fiercely towards an even larger giant tree.
Crack!
This ti Yun Xiao exerted even more force, the giant tree splitting directly from the middle, the impact even more stunning than the last ti, and the shock the Moon Gazing Poison Demon experienced naturally intensified.
"Do you submit?"
"Do you submit?"
"Do you yield?"
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
It seed Yun Xiao had no intention of giving the Moon Gazing Poison Demon a chance to answer, relentlessly asking while his actions never paused.
In re monts, a dozen giant trees were smashed and collapsed, leaving the forest clearing wide open.
"Stop... ah... stop!"
After continuous strikes, the Moon Gazing Poison Demon finally realized the power gap between itself and this human youth. Though it couldn’t fathom it, it no longer wished to endure such pain.
For these Vein Demons, only when your strength surpasses theirs will they truly submit, especially when, like Yun Xiao, you hold absolute superiority in their two most proficient thods.
The Moon Gazing Poison Demon’s two best thods were the poisonous spirit qi and physical strength. The forr had no effect on this human, and the latter was utterly powerless in physical confrontation. Its confidence had been utterly dismantled by Yun Xiao.
Even though it knew that after admitting defeat, it would likely lose all its poisonous spirit qi, losing just that was perhaps more acceptable than losing its life.
"Since you’ve yielded, then strip away your poisonous spirit qi!"
Yun Xiao didn’t fear this giant going back on its word. With knowledge from two lifetis, he knew that while Vein Demons could be brutal, once they made a decision, they would not easily change it.
This was why the Beast Vein Masters from Demons Mountain didn’t sign any contracts with their demon pets, yet the pets would never betray them for life.
Moreover, with Yun Xiao’s current strength, even if the Moon Gazing Poison Demon tried any tricks, he wouldn’t be the least bit concerned. At most, he’d kill it and take the poisonous spirit qi himself, though it’d be more troubleso.
However, Yun Xiao knew that the poisonous spirit qi retrieved by killing it would differ slightly from what the Moon Gazing Poison Demon willingly stripped away.
After all, it concerned the Power of Soul. If the Moon Gazing Poison Demon were killed, the remaining poisonous spirit qi would carry a hint of spite, which would unnecessarily complicate Yun Xiao’s refining process.
Even if the poisonous spirit qi being willingly stripped contained so resentnt, it would be far weaker than the overwhelming spite released upon death.
"Can you... can you leave so?"
The Moon Gazing Poison Demon, panting heavily, looked with so expectation at the frail human youth, its previous ferocity replaced by a hint of pleading.
"Big guy, don’t try to play tricks on . With your poison gland, you’ll have this kind of poisonous spirit qi again in a few decades or a hundred years—hurry up!"
Yun Xiao, experienced in two lives, wouldn’t be fooled by such a petty trick. As he said, he only intended to take the accumulated poisonous spirit qi, not the poison gland that produced it, leaving a line for others.
Though Yun Xiao might never see the Moon Gazing Poison Demon again in his lifeti, his principle was not to push too hard, as the poison gland held little use for him.
"You... alright then!"
Hearing the logical tone, the Moon Gazing Poison Demon almost lost control again, but recalling this human’s formidable physical strength and strange tactics, it had no choice but to surrender.
Whoosh... whoosh...
Having made a decision, the Moon Gazing Demon didn’t drag its feet. With a thought, black mist erupted from its body, eventually forming a head-sized black fog sphere before it.
"Poisonous spirit qi!"
Feeling the familiar energy within the black sphere, a smile appeared on Yun Xiao’s face. This was the very poisonous spirit qi he worked so hard to obtain.
Yun Xiao believed, with the low-level Silver Grade Heavenly Demon’s many years of accumulated poisonous spirit qi, refining it would greatly enhance his Power of Soul.
If the Power of Soul could advance again, Yun Xiao would gain even more confidence in winning the ridian Refining Conference, and any opponents like Lu Tianwen and Gu Huashan would no longer pose a significant threat.
Having expelled its many years of stored poisonous spirit qi, the Moon Gazing Poison Demon now felt exceedingly weak, knowing it could never regain its peak state without decades of ti.
Being called the Moon Gazing Poison Demon implied the poisonous spirit qi’s imnse importance to it, as it was the foundation of its cultivation. But now, with it taken away, it was reverted to its original form.
"Since the Poison ridian Path competition is about who exits last, why not refine the poisonous spirit qi here?"
Yun Xiao reached to his waist and a jade piece appeared in his palm. Seeing the tens of white light dots on it, he knew he’d be in the Nine Realms Poison Tower for quite so ti.
Yun Xiao, thinking along the lines of Chu Xun earlier, believed that in this territory of the Moon Gazing Poison Demon, few Vein Demons would dare intrude, making it an ideal place to refine the poisonous spirit qi.
