Boom!
In a dense forest of Demon Suppressing Mountain, a gigantic figure staggered back several steps. On closer inspection, it was an ape-shaped Vein Demon towering over twenty feet tall, its face eerily resembling a human’s but distorted with extre rage.
In the sight of this enormous Ape Demon, there appeared a figure in a brocade robe slowly fading away. Faintly seen, in his hand seed to be a flag fluttering in the wind, embroidered with a giant dragon showing its ferocious teeth using golden threads.
"Sigh..."
Ignoring the anger of the gigantic ape-shaped Vein Demon, the brocade-clad young man who had run out of the dense forest, exhaled a long breath of foul air, calming his chaotic breath, finally revealing a noble visage.
If Yun Xiao were here, he might recognize that this man was none other than the Crown Prince Xuan Jiuding of the Xuanyue Empire. It was unknown by what ans he had, with a cultivation at the late stages of the ridian Union Realm, managed to snatch a Dragon Flag from the clutches of a Half-step Sixth Rank Ape Demon.
"Hehe, Yun Xiao, I wonder what you have to compete against this ti?"
Although his ridian Qi was sowhat unstable, Xuan Jiuding’s face was full of excitent. After his words fell, he glanced behind and without daring to linger, quickly disappeared into the mountains and forests.
anwhile, in other parts of Demon Suppressing Mountain, individuals like Shen Wannian, Ye Shii, and Nie Qianqiu, all employed their unique moves to capture a Dragon Flag.
It must be said, these talents, deed the most hopeful to clinch the championship at this session of the Countries Hidden Dragon Conference, indeed had their own thods. The final battle might shock everyone greatly.
...
At another place in Demon Suppressing Mountain.
Puff!
A pale golden figure suddenly struck out, followed by a huge bovine-shaped Vein Demon’s left eyeball being gruesoly gouged out, a scene of extre gore.
"Moo!"
The pain and fury in the cow’s moo echoed throughout several kiloters. This severe injury instantly enraged the bovine-shaped Vein Demon, one of its horns thrust at extrely high speed towards the pale golden human figure.
This bovine-shaped Vein Demon had reached a Half-step Sixth Rank level, and under fury, its horn’s speed was incredible. Had it been an ordinary late stage ridian Union Realm cultivator, they would have found it inevitable to avoid.
That Golden Clothes human youth, indeed a late-stage talent in the ridian Union Realm, seed dood to be hit by the raging bull’s horn, but at that mont, sothing miraculous happened.
Ding!
A crisp sound was heard, the bovine-shaped Vein Demon’s horn accurately hitting the golden youth’s lower abdon, yet the gut-wrenching destruction expected did not occur.
At this mont, the entirety of the golden youth’s figure seed to emit a powerful golden light, even the skin of his face and palms turning a pale gold, a sight both eerie and mysterious.
The sound just emitted, that of tal clashing, ca from the bull’s horn hitting this youth’s abdon, bizarrely enough no matter how sharp or solid, it couldn’t penetrate even slightly.
Swoosh!
Simultaneously, while the bovine-shaped Vein Demon was also struck by peculiarity, the Golden Clothes youth had already raised his right hand, then his entire right arm transford into a golden blade.
It wasn’t clear if this was so powerful ancient ridian Technique, but the arm-turned-golden blade carried an unstoppable montum, fiercely slashing towards the bull’s neck.
Crack!
A slight sound followed, the sharpness of the arm-golden blade directly slicing through the bull’s neck bone, completely separating the bovine head from its body, blood spraying wildly as the golden youth swiftly backed away.
The enormous bull body fell dead, devoid of any breath left. Had an outsider seen this scene, their eyeballs might have popped out in shock.
You must understand even contenders for the championship like Shen Wannian and Ye Shii at most used various ans to snatch Dragon Flags from these Half-step Sixth Rank Vein Demons; none could match the domineering prowess of this Golden Clothes youth, who directly killed a Half-step Sixth Rank Vein Demon.
Moreover, this bovine-shaped Vein Demon was known for its strength and physical prowess, yet in the end, not only could its sharp horn not harm the Golden Clothes youth, but its head was also chopped off with one slice of the blade.
After the huge bull body fell, the Golden Clothes youth reverted back to his human form, but that glint of gold in his eyes could not be concealed.
He casually walked to a spot, pulled out a Dragon Flag planted therein, and without giving a glance at the fallen bull demon, disappeared into the woodland.
...
Boom!
Still at so place in Demon Suppressing Mountain!
A graceful figure was sent flying out, imdiately followed by another huge figure, whose enormous claw, if it were to swipe down, might obliterate the forr instantly.
Swoosh!
At this critical mont, a streak of dark light flashed past, and then the huge claw was gently cut off by the streak of dark light, naturally averting the crisis for the graceful figure.
"Yun Xiao, thank you!"
The rescued woman still had a thick expression of terror on her face, but she soon steadied herself and turned her head to thank a boy clad in coarse clothes holding a wooden sword.
"We have the Dragon Flag, let’s get out of here!"
The boy in coarse clothes was Yun Xiao. He glanced at the Dragon Flag in Liu Hanyi’s hands, then sensing the formidable Vein Demon whose claw had been cut off by the Dragon Taming Sword, he had no intention of lingering here any longer.
Because Yun Xiao knew that an angry half-step Sixth Rank Vein Demon would unleash formidable destructive power, and even if all four of them tead up, the outco would likely be more perilous than fortuitous.
Since the Dragon Flag was already secured, Yun Xiao called out to Mo Qing and Ling Wan beside him, and the four quickly dashed off in a certain direction, escaping.
Since that day in the cave when he helped Mo Qing retrieve the Dragon Flag, it seed Yun Xiao’s luck had been good. By chance, they safely found another Dragon Flag and escaped easily.
The second Dragon Flag was given to Ling Wan, who was the youngest and weakest in terms of power, but when they found the third Dragon Flag, things changed.
The guardian of this third Dragon Flag was a naturally poisonous, half-step Sixth Rank Vein Demon called the Black Poison Wolf. It was said that even Poison Vein Masters of high Spiritual Ranks must be cautious around the poison of a Sixth Rank Black Poison Wolf.
Liu Hanyi was an Immortal Poison Body and naturally contained formidable poisons, so this ti Yun Xiao gave him the opportunity as the top disciple of the Luoyi Sect.
Initially, Liu Hanyi used the special properties of the Immortal Poison Body to find several opportunities, but they were all thwarted by the Black Poison Wolf.
As ti passed, the disparity in strength between them beca increasingly evident. Despite the Immortal Poison Body’s more formidable poison, the half-step Sixth Rank Black Poison Wolf prevailed not only with its toxic power but also with its superior cultivation in Demon ridian Qi.
In the intense battle, Liu Hanyi seized another chance and fortunately grabbed the Dragon Flag, but consequently, she got struck by the claw of the Black Poison Wolf. If not for Yun Xiao’s tily intervention, she might have died under its claw.
The wooden Dragon Taming Sword is quite deceptive; even many extrely talented human cultivators do not realize its sharpness. The Black Poison Wolf carelessly had one of its foreclaws severed.
Thus, although Yun Xiao and the others had run far away this ti, the Black Poison Wolf, whose claw had been severed, had long since thrown ng Liyang Elder’s instructions out of mind. It vowed to murder the four humans who hurt it with its wolf poison, ensuring they died a grueso death.
"Damn, why hasn’t that big guy given up yet?"
Half a day later, when Yun Xiao and the others felt tired and wanted to stop for a rest, they instantly sensed a terrifying presence rushing toward them from not far behind, causing their expressions to change.
Previously, the two tis they had obtained the Dragon Flag and escaped a certain distance, the half-step Sixth Rank Vein Demons guarding the flag had not pursued further, making it very easy for them.
"It seems, it must be because of that sword strike!"
Yun Xiao was extrely astute, and with a slight frown, he understood the situation. At the critical mont of Liu Hanyi’s life-threatening situation, he didn’t think too much, but he did not expect that severing a wolf claw would lead to the relentless pursuit of the Black Poison Wolf.
Given the pursuit from behind, Yun Xiao and the others, aiming to conserve strength, did not attempt to battle the Black Poison Wolf. Thus they continued evading, sprinting up a significant distance toward the summit of Demon Suppressing Mountain.
"Hmm? Sothing’s off!"
Just when Yun Xiao and his party, chased to exhaustion by the Black Poison Wolf, were considering making a final stand, they suddenly noticed sothing unusual about the area they had run into—it was oddly quiet.
"Everyone, be careful!"
Yun Xiao was quite confident in his instincts; the area was so quiet, devoid of any Vein Demons, which was very different from other parts of Demon Suppressing Mountain.
"Ao, ao... ao!"
As Yun Xiao’s words fell, while Liu Hanyi and the others beca alert, behind them ca a familiar howl of a wolf, which seed to contain a hint of... panic!
Hearing this sound, Yun Xiao and the others turned their heads with a shiver, knowing that this was a half-step Sixth Rank Vein Demon, and its entire body was poisonous, not easily managed even by human cultivators of the Spirit Vein Realm.
But now, the Black Poison Wolf in the distance was shaking slightly, and even from this far away, Yun Xiao and his group could see the fear in its wolf eyes.
While feeling uneasy, Yun Xiao realized sothing. It seed this weird place must contain sothing that was the reason for the Black Poison Wolf’s fear.
As Yun Xiao and the others were each lost in their thoughts, the fear in the distant Black Poison Wolf’s eyes finally reached a climax. Seeing that it dared not pursue any further, it turned its body, evidently intending to flee.
