Chapter 48: Surround and Kill the Demon King. Nie Ling Is in Danger
Just as the three of them were rushing towards the high cliff, the twin-tailed spirit-sucking cat squinted its eyes and looked at them.
The tail behind it flapped and made cracking sounds.
In its eyes, there were many humans who wanted to capture it in the great desolate region.
However, he had escaped every single one of them.
Moreover, these three humans were inferior to it.
Tsk, this was not worth its attention.
It lazily turned its body, showing no signs that it was being surrounded and killed.
Whoosh–
A cold ray of light pierced through the air. It was Su Yi, who was the first among the three to arrive.
He raised his hand and shot out a Tiangang Sword Intent Finger, aiming at the head of the twin-tailed spirit-sucking cat.
The moment the cold sword Qi got close to the demon king, the tiger-sized figure turned into a shadow and disappeared.
When it reappeared, it was already more than a hundred feet away.
It looked at Su Yi with disdain, and there was a hint of mockery in its eyes.
Is that all?
At this time, the two girls had also arrived.
Nie Ling made a hand seal, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and shouted.
“Chaotic Flower Burial!”
A surge of vital essence gathered in front of her chest, and quickly condensed into the shape of a lotus.
She waved her small hand, and the vital essence lotus shot toward the demon king who was more than a hundred feet away.
The vital essence lotus exploded, and the sharp petals covered the demon king and kept tearing at it.
The twin-tailed spirit-sucking cat screamed, and its eyes stared at Nie Ling fiercely.
Awooo!!
It was angry. Nie Ling’s attack was a continuous AOE attack, and it could not use its shadow form again.
Therefore, it was injured by Nie Ling. The sharp petals cut open its fur, and fresh blood flowed out, dyed the fur red.
The twin-tailed spirit-sucking cat’s eyes were ferocious. It swung its tail, and a burst of spiritual energy instantly erupted. Its tiger-like body turned into an afterimage as it pounced toward Nie Ling.
“Fellow Daoist Nie, get out of the way!”
Li Mengxi, who had also caught up, shouted when she saw this. At the same time, she quickly formed a hand seal and threw out a palm attack.
However, she had underestimated the twin-tailed cat’s speed, and her palm attack missed.
Nie Ling watched as the twin-tailed spirit-sucking cat turned into an afterimage and pounced toward her. It was already too late to dodge, and she could only rely on her true essence to fight back.
Just as she was about to put up a defensive stance and activate her true essence…
A stream of light with a destructive aura crashed onto the shadow that was about to pounce on her.
Boom!!
The twin-tailed spirit-sucking cat was sent flying by the stream of light, and then crashed into a stone wall.
The sound of an explosion rang out, and the tiger-like body was already badly mutilated.
That streak of light was the Tiangang Destruction Finger.
He heaved a sigh of relief as he slowly walked up to Nie Ling and asked.
“Are You Alright, fellow Daoist Nie?”
The Tiangang Destruction Finger’s attack on the cat caused Nie Ling’s hair to be messed up. She looked a little disheveled.
She was stunned for a moment before thanking him.
“I’m fine. Thank you, fellow Daoist Su.”
“It’s good that you’re fine. I didn’t expect a mid-stage foundation establishment demon beast to be so fast.”
His eyes were filled with worry. If even a mid-stage foundation establishment demon king was at this level, then what about the dangers within the ruins?
A hint of guilt flashed through his eyes. In his heart, he blamed himself. If he had been a little stronger, such a dangerous thing would not have happened.
Otherwise, in the first round, that one finger would have been enough to kill the twin-tailed spirit-sucking cat.
Li Mengxi, who was at the side, looked at him in shock.
He could even kill a mid-foundation establishment realm demon king in one strike.
Just how strong was he?
Was this really the battle prowess of an early-stage foundation establishment realm cultivator?
With the attack power of that streak of light just now, the demon king was probably already dead by now.
As expected, when she looked at the twin-tailed spirit-sucking cat, she saw a bloody mess there. It was almost impossible to tell what kind of demon beast it was.
After observing Nie Ling’s situation and finding that she was indeed not injured, Su Yi came to the front of the twin-tailed spirit-sucking cat. With a wave of his hand, a streak of multicolored light enveloped it.
[Hint: Collection succesful. Obtained foundation establishment realm demon king demon core x 1, foundation establishment realm demon beast fur x 1, cat whip tail x 1]
After collecting, he took out the demon core and found that it was different from other foundation establishment realm demon cores. There was a strange pattern on it.
A faint spiritual energy appeared on the demon core. Therefore, he put the demon core in his hand and came to the two women.
“How do we split it?”
Unexpectedly, the two women shook their heads when they heard this.
“Fellow Daoist Su, this demon king was basically defeated by you alone. I didn’t help much, so I don’t need it.”
This was what Li Mengxi had said. Although the cultivation effect of increasing by 1 was very tempting, she really did not help much during this hunt.
Nie Ling also lightly smiled and shook her head as she said this.
“Fellow Daoist Su, you should take this demon core. Only in your hands can it be of the greatest use, right?”
He did not refuse. He put the demon king demon core back into the immortal destiny seal and lightly said, “in that case, I’ll take it.”
“Mm.”
Soon, after dealing with this demon king, they began to temper themselves in the Dark Abyss Cliff.
…
Time flew by, and a day passed…
During this period of time, Li Mengxi had already slowly confirmed that Su Yi was the person who refined medicinal pills for the Nie family.
She observed that every time he hunted a demon beast, he would always take that demon core.
The rest of the materials were distributed between her and Nie Ling, and the demon core had only one purpose, and that was to refine medicinal pills.
Today, they did not go hunting demonic beasts. Instead, they quietly rested and waited for the ruins to open.
Suddenly, Li Mengxi asked, “fellow Daoist Su, did you refine the pill in Shangyang City?”
She was referring to the Dao-grade mystic condensing pill. It was bought by the Li family, so they paid extra attention to it. In the end, it was still given to her to consume.
Indirectly, if it had really been refined by Su Yi, she might have owed him a favor.
He raised his head to look at Li Mengxi. He knew what she was asking, so he replied, “yes.”
“Thank you, Su Yi.”
“Why are you thanking me? Didn’t your Li family also spend money to bid for it? There’s nothing to say. No one owes anyone anything.”
“Hehe, I’m getting more and more eager to pull you into the Li family.”
“Fellow Daoist Li, I’m still here. Is it really okay for you to poach my Nie family’s ally in front of me?”
Su Yi did not hide his identity, so she could not do anything about it. However, she could not allow him to be poached.
Just as she was about to talk to Li Mengxi, the weather suddenly changed, and colorful clouds gathered.
“The great desolate ruins have appeared!”
