Chapter 224 Second-Tier Demon Core Acquired
It naturally had the interest to personally kill someone like Xia Yuhui.
After all, to survive its deadly poison until now, it must have some special abilities.
Unfortunately, it was injured by Liu Wanzong's desperate counterattack before his death in the last battle, and now it is seriously injured and it is not suitable to fight again. It can only give up the idea with a heavy heart.
Meanwhile, Xia Yuhui, who was more than 500,000 miles away, was completely unaware of this. He continued to observe the monster not far from him with great interest.
This monster was entirely blue-green, with two incredibly sharp horns on its head, and its muscles were as hard as steel, clearly indicating that it was a monster that attacked with its bare body.
This demon is named Jun Qinglao. Its bloodline is not strong, but it is clear that it had some fortuitous encounters to break through to the peak of the second tier.
After carefully observing the area within 300 li and confirming that there were no traces of second-tier demonic beasts, Xia Yuhui decisively chose to take action.
Of course, he couldn't just rush forward recklessly. Now, with his treasure protecting him, the demonic beast clearly hadn't noticed his presence yet, making it the perfect opportunity to launch a surprise attack.
Meanwhile, Junqinglao, running in the distance, sniffed around with its enormous nose. It had just caught a whiff of an extraordinary spiritual energy, but when it rushed over, the energy had vanished. So it searched frantically everywhere.
However, just as it was puzzled, the ground beneath its feet suddenly swelled up like an inflated balloon, and then a person emerged from the ground like a volcanic eruption, holding a bolt of lightning tightly in his fist, like a ferocious dragon, and pounced directly at its belly.
"Mmm!"
Jun Qinglao let out a bloodcurdling scream and was sent flying like a kite with a broken string by an overwhelming force.
However, Xia Yuhui did not let it land easily. Before Junqinglao even landed, thunderbolts rained down from the sky like a stampede of ten thousand horses, striking it like raindrops.
After Junqinglao was slammed to the ground, its entire body was covered with dense cracks, just like shattered porcelain, and a pungent burnt smell emanated from it. However, it did not die.
Seeing this, Xia Yuhui was not disappointed at all. Instead, he became excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood. He was determined to win this attack and take the life of this monster. The fact that the monster could withstand it meant that it was quite capable.
After struggling to his feet, Jun Qinglao endured the excruciating pain that felt like being cut by knives, roared, and charged forward like a raging bull.
Seeing this, Xia Yuhui's expression also became solemn, as if facing a formidable enemy. This kind of demonic beast could use the power of the earth to continuously increase its strength during battle, and as long as its body did not leave the ground, it would have the miraculous talent of automatically healing its injuries, so he dared not be careless at all.
With a thought, his entire body was instantly enveloped in layers of hard, iron-like scales, making him resemble a war god clad in armor.
As Junqing Prison drew ever closer, he gripped two bolts of crimson lightning, his body as strong as steel, and resolutely met the ferocious impact of the over thirty-foot-tall demonic beast.
boom!
Xia Yuhui was thrown dozens of feet away like a kite with a broken string, but he still managed to catch the fatal blow.
After this attack, Junqinglao was completely still, as if its soul had been ripped out; it had been stunned by Xia Yuhui's electric shock.
The two bolts of crimson lightning had just been injected into its body. At this moment, Xia Yuhui gripped its head tightly, the two bolts of crimson lightning clearly aimed at its head like sharp swords.
Upon learning that Jun Qinglao had been electrocuted by him, Xia Yuhui unleashed a furious barrage of punches, relentlessly pounding the ground.
Bang bang bang!
Each attack was like an earthquake, causing the ground beneath the feet of the human and the demon to tremble violently. Before long, the ground within a radius of a hundred meters began to crack like a spider web.
After Xia Yuhui threw more than a dozen punches, Jun Qinglao finally woke up and seemed to have developed some immunity to lightning.
Although Xia Yuhui's fist was still covered in lightning, it was no longer as disoriented as before.
By the time Xia Yuhui came to her senses, it was too late. Jun Qinglao suddenly turned his head and flung Xia Yuhui away like a cannonball.
Before he even landed, Junqing Prison appeared in his field of vision like a mountain descending from the sky.
At this moment, Junqing Prison had risen to a height of a hundred feet in the sky and was descending rapidly at an astonishing speed.
Xia Yuhui dared not be negligent in the slightest, and immediately transformed into a bolt of lightning in the air, desperately fleeing to the side.
Boom! After Junqing Prison landed, a bottomless pit appeared within a mile of the ground, with countless shallow cracks spreading around it, as if the earth had been torn apart.
At this moment, all sorts of lesser demons within a hundred miles of this battlefield, like startled birds, began to run frantically into the distance, clearly frightened by the earth-shattering tremor.
Xia Yuhui lay quietly in the deep pit, his scales resembling an indestructible armor that could not only withstand physical attacks but also protect him from shock at crucial moments.
However, just as he was about to climb out of the deep pit, he was shocked to find that Junqing Prison, which had long since disappeared from his consciousness, had reappeared in the sky like a ghost.
Its enormous body, like a mountain that blots out the sky, cast a huge, unseen shadow on Xia Yuhui's side.
Xia Yuhui felt that his legs were firmly stuck to the ground, and he could not move them at all.
Xia Yuhui knew that he could not escape this time no matter what, and could only give a helpless bitter smile.
Ultimately, we'll still need to resort to some tough measures.
Without hesitation, he unleashed the Soul Devouring Technique on the falling Junqing Prison. He was certain that the souls of most demonic beasts were incredibly fragile, and that this move would surely be effective.
As expected, Jun Qinglao, whose eyes were bloodshot and whose horns had grown several times larger, suddenly froze in mid-air as if frozen in place, and then fell straight down.
Xia Yuhui easily dodged the attack, while Jun Qinglao collapsed to the ground.
Its soul was instantly obliterated by Xia Yuhui.
Xia Yuhui removed his scale armor and swiftly arrived beside Jun Qinglao's corpse like a ghost. He took out the Crimson Thunder Sword from his storage bag and began to cut into Jun Qinglao's relatively soft abdomen.
Soon, he took out a demon core the size of a fist.
He then did not rush to dismember the monster, but instead put the whole thing into his storage bag.
After all, the beast's skin was as hard as iron, and it would take a lot of time to decompose its corpse.
This place is the northern frontier, and he would never dare to act recklessly here.
After collecting the bodies, Xia Yuhui surveyed the battlefield and then turned and left without hesitation.
Covering up the battlefield would not only be time-consuming and laborious, but would also increase the chances of danger, so this time he decided not to cover up the battlefield.
Although he had been searching for demonic beasts all over the past few days without encountering any particularly powerful ones, if he had actually run into those powerful demonic beasts, he would probably have already lost his life.
The Northern Frontier is known as the "Abyss," where countless demonic beasts roam, and powerful ones are as numerous as the stars. Xia Yuhui even suspects that the battle here has alerted some third-tier demonic beasts, and they are on their way.
