WU DONG QIAN - KUN
Chapter 117: The Battle Between Two Beasts

“Bang!”

The dark blue light ball expanded violently. As it swelled, the shadow of the snake within it grew even bigger. The Demonic Jade Water Python seemed to have sensed that someone was going to hurt him, as it wriggled frantically. Immediately, dark blue light rays continuously shot out from the ball of light, trying to resist the black hole's suction force.

"explosion!"

As the two forces clashed, the resulting energy rippling out caused the entire cave to tremble. Pieces of broken ceilings constantly fell from the roof of the cave.

“Huh!”

After witnessing the resistance of the Demonic Jade Water Python Demonic Spirit, the little marten snorted as his claws danced faster and faster. Meanwhile the suction force increased rapidly, pulling the ball of light inch by inch toward the black hole.

“Desis hiss!”

Faced with this increasingly powerful engulfing force, the rays of light that burst out from within the ball of light also became increasingly terrifying. Lin Dong clearly saw a beam of stray light crossing the roof of the cave, leaving a pitch-black crack, so deep that you could not see the bottom.

"Rurder!"

After witnessing this terrifying destructive power, Lin Dong involuntarily gulped. If any rays of stray light had reached his body, he would have been severely injured.

"The little marten seems to be completely capable of fighting the Demonic Jade Water Python ..." Although Lin Dong was overwhelmed with fear at the power of the Demonic Jade Water Python, he did not immediately escape. This was because he had realized that no matter how much the Demonic Jade Water Python struggled, it was still unable to break away from the madly rotating pull of the black hole.

Although the small marten power was currently borrowed from Lin Dong's Yuan Power, the manner in which this power was used seemed extremely tyrannical. Furthermore, witnessing that black hole-like vortex actually made the heart stop, as it had a certain trappeditating aura. It was easy to imagine how strong the little marten was after recovering his strength.

At this moment, Lin Dong was finally convinced that this mysterious little marten used to possess this kind of terrifying power.

“Desis hiss!”

While these thoughts swirled in Lin Dong's mind, the deadlock within the cave became increasingly violent. A hissing sound was constantly emitted from within the ball of deep blue light as the shadow of the snake inside frantically spun and spun.

“Bang!”

As the Demonic Jade Water Python's resistance became louder, a ball of deep blue light completely exploded, causing an extremely powerful surge of energy to spread outwards. Even Lin Dong who was on the outskirts of the cave, jolted violently onto the cave wall as pain shot out from his chest.

"Hissing!"

The ball of light burst open and the Demon Spirit hidden within it immediately appeared. It was a huge dark blue python that was tens of feet long. However, his current body looked somewhat illusory. This was characteristic of the form of the Demon Spirit.

“Pop!”

Quickly after the Demonic Jade Water Python Demonic Spirit appeared, it opened its large mouth as a column of condensed blue water shot towards the small marten. A very strong corrosive odor emerged from within the water column.

"Relax!"

In response to the Demonic Jade Water Python's attack, the little marten sneered. It clenched its claws as suction force burst out from the black hole and instantly engulfed the entire blue water column.

“Hard-headed bastard, grandpa marten wants to eat your Demon Spirit. You really dare to refuse! Practically seeking death!”

The Water Jade Demon Python struggled with all its might, clearly causing the little marten to become somewhat impatient. Immediately, his claws waved and a rich black Qi gushed out from within his body before condensing into a huge monster on the small marten's back.

As the black fog circled the marten, Lin Dong could only see some obscure parts. However, he still managed to discover that this monster actually had the appearance of a genuine little marten, but enlarged it many times.

"Is this the original form of the little marten?" As he stared at the giant who seemed to be emitting a terrifying and ancient aura, Lin Dong could not help but mutter in his heart.

"Rubber!"

As the huge monster formed, he let out a slow roar at the Demonic Jade Water Python. The roar was filled with an extremely frightening strength and caused the body of the Demonic Jade Water Python to tremble as fear dyed its snake-like eyes.

“Better you enter!”

The huge monster that had been formed by the black fog suddenly stretched out its palm, furiously destroying the body of the Demonic Jade Water Python Demonic Spirit. After suffering this heavy blow, the Demon Spirit let out a sorrowful cry before turning into a ray of blue light that was quickly swallowed into the madly spinning vortex of the black hole.

“Pop!”

By the time the Water Jade Demon Python was swallowed into the black hole, the figure on the back of the little marten also collapsed as the black hole also began to rapidly spread.

After seeing such a quick end to this battle, Lin Dong was stunned. He stared at the body of the little marten who had become so illusory that it was almost transparent. From the looks of it, it was clear that the latter was spent thoroughly. Although the little marten was not of ordinary origin, it had only borrowed a portion of the Yuan Power from Lin Dong. This Yuan power was not enough to use his secret techniques too often.

After swallowing the Water Jade Demon Python Demon Spirit, the body of the little marten turned into a beam of light that flew back to the Stone Amulet in Lin Dong's palm.

“Brat, this time I really owe you. However, I may have to rest for the first period of time ... "

When the little marten entered the Stone Talisman, an extremely weak voice sounded in Lin Dong's head before disappearing rapidly. It seemed as if swallowing the Water Jade Demon Python this time had caused the already weakened condition of the little marten to deteriorate.

Lin Dong blankly stared at the messy cave that had suddenly become empty. A moment later, he breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he had won this gamble, or else, he might be chased and killed by a Demon Spirit that possessed the strength of a perfect Yuan Dan Stage practitioner.

"Bumped!"

Just as Lin Dong was relieved of the worry in his heart, the sound of falling water suddenly sounded from behind. The water that had been held at the entrance of the cave now flowed profusely into the cave.

Upon seeing this scene, Lin Dong hurriedly dashed forward and grabbed the three Yin Yang Pearls that were still hanging in the air.

The moment the Yin Yang Pearl made contact with his hands, a cold and warm sensation practically gushed into Lin Dong's body at the same time. The sensation was so relaxed that it caused Lin Dong to instantly tremble. Just a slight touch had brought this feeling, it seemed like what the little marten said earlier was correct.

This Yin Yang Pearl is truly a treasure!

Unable to hold back the happiness in his heart, Lin Dong quickly stuffed the Yin Yang Pearl into his Qiankun Bag. Then, summoning the remaining bit of Yuan Power in his dantian, he hurriedly swam out through the path he entered.

…

Outside of Celestial Dan Pool, Xia Zhilan and the other two had finished absorbing and left the pond. Their confused gazes were fixed on Celestial Dan Pool, as they struggled to understand why Lin Dong had yet to reappear.

“Could something have happened?” Xuan Su's black brows fused together as he asked.

“There should be nothing wrong. Yue Shan and I had scanned this Celestial Dan Pool at the beginning. Although the terrain below is complicated, there is no danger.” Xia Wanjin shook her head. He was also a bit confused as to why Lin Dong had yet to appear.

“How about this, let's wait a minute. If he still does not appear, I will personally go down to investigate. ”

Xia Wanjin muttered to herself for a while before saying. No matter what, he was the right person. Ignoring Lin Dong's potential, just based on the fact that he had helped the Thousand Gold Association achieve the ultimate victory, Xia Wanjin felt that he had to ensure Lin Dong's safety.

"okay." Upon hearing these words, Xuan Su also nodded lightly. If they were able to bind individuals with such great potential, their Thousand Gold Association would definitely enjoy great benefits in the future.

"Sclap!"

Not long after Xia Wanjin spoke, a voice sounded from the calm surface of the pond. Immediately, a figure broke through the surface and landed on the side of the pond.

"He's out!"

As they stared at the youngster who had finally appeared, Xia Zhilan and the others heaved a sigh of relief.

“Hehe, sorry. I visited the bottom of the pool out of curiosity and was delayed for a while.” Upon seeing the crowd, Lin Dong clasped his hands together and apologized with a smile on his face.

"I thought you were drowning." Xia Zhilan glanced at Lin Dong as she snorted. He was in a slightly bad mood after recalling the absorption of energy like the whale Lin Dong from before.

Lin Dong chuckled as he could not be bothered to argue with her. He turned to look at the Celestial Dan Pool, only to find that the pool water was now becoming clear. The aroma from before also became so light that it could barely be felt. The strange sight of the half-boiling and half-cold pond was no more. It seemed like the energy inside was already nearly depleted by the four of them. In the future, this Celestial Dan Pool would only become an ordinary pond.

"Hehe, it seems like this little brother Lin Dong is reaping a sufficient harvest." Xia Wanjin's gaze swept across Lin Dong's body, amazed that the Yuan Power surge from Lin Dong's body was actually much richer than before.

“Hehe, it's just a small breakthrough.”

After hearing these words, Lin Dong's heart skipped a beat. She thought Xia Wanjin had found out about the bounty she had obtained at the bottom of the pond. However, upon a closer look, the latter did not seem to imply such a meaning. Silently sighing in relief, Lin Dong casually replied. As the little marten said, this Yin Yang Pearl had a great allure and he was not sure what Xia Wanjin would do if he found out.

As Lin Dong spoke, his gaze also examined Xia Zhilan and the other two. Currently, the Yuan Power undulations emitted from their bodies were extremely powerful. The three of them were already practitioners at the Heavenly Yuan Late Stage. Therefore, after absorbing the energy from the Celestial Dan Pool, they would immediately manage to advance to the Yuan Dan Stage.

Xia Wanjin lightly nodded her head. In his heart, he started to like Lin Dong. To be able to make such progress in Yuan Power and especially in Mental Energy at such a young age, was clearly a testament to the fact that Lin Dong's talent was indeed extraordinary.

"Since this matter is over, let's go back to Yan City." On one side, Xuan Su smiled and said.

In response to his words, Lin Dong smiled back and nodded. Since the Celestial Dan Pool energy had been exhausted, there was no point in lingering here. Overall, he could be considered as the person with the biggest catch after this Celestial Dan Pool trip. This was not a wasted trip.
