Return From The Immortal World
Chapter 1051: The Statement of Balderdash
“With your current cultivation level and progress speed, how long will it take to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage?” Asked Duanmu Lin without thinking.
“Hah?” Tang Xiu was confused and thought for a moment. “Why did you ask?”
“I ordered Aquababe to send you the measurement rank of a demonic beast, so you should read it, right?” Said Duanmu Lin. “We have investigated and judged that there is a huge demon beast in the depths of the Himalayas whose strength should be comparable to the experts at the Nascent Soul Stage. That's why I need a powerhouse that can. I won't take a dime from the corpse of any demonic beast if you can break through to the Nascent Soul Stage in no time. ”
A smile appeared at the corner of Tang Xiu's mouth. He was not a normal cultivator since he was cultivating in the most profound cultivation art in the Demon Realm, the Heavenly Art of Cosmic Genesis. He was even convinced that the expert who created this cultivation art was really people like ordinary Demon Lords in the Demon Realm, and he was very likely a Demon God who ascended to the God Realm.
Hence, his current strength was enough to compare to the experts at the Nascent Soul Stage. He was confident that he could kill experts in the early stages of Nascent Soul. If he encountered one at the mid stage of Nascent Soul, he believed that he could somehow fight it if he released everything he got, he said, although he would have no choice but to escape to save his own life if he were to meet those who were at the late stages of Nascent Soul.
“Three months. It took me at least three months to break through to the Nascent Soul Stage. The premise is that I have a large number of demonic beast corpses. At that time, I was also able to land a heavy blow to a demonic beast on the Nascent Soul Stage and seriously injure it, ” Tang Xiu replied with a deliberately contrived lie.
“Did you not become too strong?” Duanmu Lin exclaimed in astonishment. “You only need three months to reach Nascent Soul Stage? That's cool! Goody! If so, then all the corpses of the demonic beasts will be handed over to you as long as I can obtain them. I can negotiate with other cultivation forces to hand over as many demon beast corpses as possible. ”
“Thank you then!”
Tang Xiu smiled faintly and then hung up the phone. His eyes then turned to the surrounding landscape of ice and snow. This opportunity had turned into a blessing opportunity to obtain treasures instead of being a task for him now. Although some of the materials from the corpse Demon body were indeed helpful for cultivation, it was still far away compared to the Core Demon.
Demon Cores were the essence of the demonic beasts themselves, just like Golden Cores were for human cultivators. The Gold Core of a human cultivator was like a supreme treasure to a savage beast. If the latter swallowed the human cultivator's Golden Core, their strength would increase rapidly. After all, the Golden Core was the quintessence of the cultivation of each human cultivator — main sources of his own strength.
“Xue Sha, take this interspatial ring and put all the corpses of demonic beasts into it. Also, contact Mo Awu, Jin Shi, Ye Shisan, and Hao Lei. Send each one of them an interspatial ring and tell them to collect all the Demon Core and the corpse of the demon beast for me. ”While handing over five interspatial rings to Xue Sha, Tang Xiu issued his order.
“Understanding!”
Xue Sha was temporarily appointed as the vice-captain of the team by Tang Xiu, so he immediately assigned some people to relay his orders. After picking up two people each for the Mo Awu team and the other three, the people assigned then quickly left.
Tang Xiu then glanced quickly and said, “The blood smell in this place is too strong. It was very likely that many demonic beasts would arrive here quickly. Everyone, we can't stay here for long, so let's leave this place first and hunt some other beasts elsewhere. ”
“Why should we go, Mister?” Gu Yin asked with a curious face. “Isn't that saving us from trying to find them if it attracts other demonic beasts? Even if we leave, we can still kill again! ”
“No.” Tang Xiu shook his head and explained, “Bau blood is very attractive to wild beasts. According to my knowledge of them, demonic beasts can sense the smell of blood outside several kilometers away. The strong one could even smell it from a distance of tens of kilometers. It would be dangerous for us if a large number of demonic beasts came in droves and surrounded us. ”
Gu Yin immediately understood and nodded with admiration on his face. “You are right, Sir. Let's leave! ”
The smell of blood was indeed a great temptation for wild beasts.
Less than two minutes after Tang Xiu's team left, several demonic beasts arrived, carrying a foul smell and a foul smell. What made them so cruel was that they could see traces of blood in the snow, yet there was no flesh and prey left for them.
Hou ... Hou …
The howling of this demonic beast resounded continuously. In just a few minutes, nearly 100 of them had been collected here. Some of them gave off a huge aura that was equivalent to the aura of a cultivator at the Golden Core Stage.
Right at this moment, Tang Xiu led the disciples of the Tang Sect as they appeared in a valley a few kilometers away. The valley was exposed to the sunlight with only a few snowy hidden places, whereas the other places were only barren with countless stones everywhere.
“Activate!”
After Tang Xiu was sheltered by a seven-meter-tall giant rock, his eyes flickered and he took out an array disc. Then, he secretly arranged an array in this valley, enough to trap the sixty demonic beasts within. The array would completely isolate the place from the outside world if he activated it, and the demonic beasts would not be able to detect it.
“Hunt and kill demonic beasts using this array. But remember, watch your safety! ”
Tang Xiu entered the array step by step and issued his orders with a serious expression. The array he had just set did not have any attack power and only had two functions. One was to trap demonic beasts, and the other was to isolate the aura from leaking. After he entered this array, he did not proactively attack but simply observed the other figures as they swiftly flew towards the demonic beasts. His divine sword, however, rose slightly and floated above his hand.
While observing attentively, he occasionally acted whenever a disciple was in crisis. Although he did not kill those demonic beasts straight, he handed them over to his disciple to kill them after taking a heavy blow on him. Nevertheless, the person he most often had to help was ten-year-old Gu Yin, who still had terrible feelings and combat skills, that brought him to a dangerous situation at all times despite the middle-stage Gold Core cultivation.
However, after going through many battles, Gu Yin's practical experience also expanded greatly. He was even able to kill two demon beasts when half of the sixty plus demon beasts had been killed, despite the fact that he himself had many injuries, and traces of bloodstains could be seen in the corner of his mouth.
Whooshing sound…
Tang Xiu instantly appeared on the side of his sect disciple. As his sword split the demonic beast into two pieces, he hurriedly reached out to support the disciple who was about to fall. This particular disciple left him with a deep impression as he was one of the few who rarely needed him to act.
At this moment, this disciple had been severely injured. His back was severely injured and his clothes were soaked by his own blood, while he also suffered serious internal injuries. If Tang Xiu did not help him, he would have died under the claws of a demonic beast a moment ago.
“Take this!”
Taking the Sacred Healing Pill and handing it to him, Tang Xiu then directly grabbed his hand and brought it out of the array to heal.
Breezy…
“KILL..”.
Blood splashed to accompany the brutal slaughter, creating a terrifying scene.
The following battle lasted for a long time. But in just nearly half an hour, 12 disciples were severely injured and Tang Xiu had to escort them, while the rest ended up killing the last demonic beast.
Of the dozens of people, only Tang Xiu was unharmed, while the rest were soaked in blood and each had varying degrees of injuries. Some are serious and some have only minor injuries.
Tang Xiu then looked around and saw Xue Sha coming towards him. He nodded at her and ordered. “Gather all the Demon Cores and their corpses. We might have arranged the geomancy array here, but if there was a demonic beast with higher wisdom coming, it would still be able to detect something wrong with this place. That's why we need to retreat quickly and return to the camp to cultivate and recuperate. ”
“Understanding!” Xue Sha nodded and began to gather the Demon Cores and the corpses of the demon beasts.
Soon after, Tang Xiu broke the geomancy array and used a spell to wash everyone's bodies. He then took them back to the Himalayan outskirts. On the way back, they encountered several waves of ferocious beasts and even had many encounters with other groups of two or three demon beasts, although they could easily clear them.
Half an hour later.
Two distressed figures suddenly appeared in the valley of — Hun Sen and Jiang Shuisheng — whose bodies were now adorned with many wounds. The latter even had a visible bloody wound on his torn back which, fortunately, had stopped the bleeding and did not cause any major problems.
“Damn it! How the hell did that Tang surnamed move so fast? We've been chasing them, yet we couldn't even catch up to their shadows until now ?! ”Hun Sen cussed angrily after salivating with blood.
Wrinkles were also clearly visible on Jiang Shuisheng's face. “We cannot say that they are that fast, per se. It's just that this mountain is so big that we have chased them in the wrong direction several times. But I admit that they do have some abilities. They were supposed to kill some demonic beasts because of the traces we saw from the place we passed. ”
“Heh, do we kill fewer beasts that follow them?” Hun Sen sneered. “We killed 16! One of them was even equivalent to a cultivator at the mid-stage Golden Core. Fortunately, you yourself are on the Golden Core Stage, while I still have my clan's divine weapon — otherwise, we will die here. ”
“True.” Jiang Shuisheng nodded. “Let's stop chasing them, okay? Maybe they were already in the belly of that demonic beast. Anyway, let's hurry up and find a hidden place to hide and heal ourselves. Then, we will be back soon .. ”
His speech suddenly stopped and a panicked look filled his eyes. He looked at the valley in the distance where dozens of demonic beasts appeared, seemingly rushing to the place where the bloody scent was fluttering.
“Bau blood?”
‘How can there be the smell of blood here? Has the battle happened here before? Like, between some human and a demonic beast? ‘
“Is that Tang Xiu?”
