Chapter 111 Kill the monster
Xia Yuhui's face was ashen. Now facing a demon beast equivalent to the early stage of Foundation Establishment, although he did not take it seriously, he would never underestimate his opponent, nor would he have any intention of playing around with him.
"Boom!"
Two loud bangs followed as crimson lightning struck the Spirit Azure Turtle Beast's shell once more, causing it excruciating pain and eliciting a bloodcurdling scream.
Those Qi Refining cultivators who had narrowly escaped death dared not linger for a moment and fled immediately to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
"Everyone, please evacuate immediately. I am Xia Yuhui of the Xia family. Today, I am here to eliminate this scoundrel and do my part for the greater good of our human race."
With a solemn expression, Xia Yuhui spread his fame and then joined forces with Wan Kuifu, who had arrived at the battlefield, to fight the monster.
This monster's attacks were not fierce, but it excelled in defense. Xia Yuhui, on the other hand, was skilled in offense, and soon he had the monster paralyzed by electricity, making it slow to move.
Wan Kuifu stood to the side, holding a large magical sword, assisting him. As he watched Xia Yuhui unleash his various killing moves, his heart sank. He never expected Xia Yuhui to be so powerful. Now his disciple had completely offended him, and if he couldn't handle this matter properly, he feared he would also be implicated.
After a brief but intense battle, Xia Yuhui seized an opportunity and had Mingyue temporarily bewitch the monster, preventing it from retreating into its shell. Then, with a swift stroke of his sword, he severed its head.
After dealing with the monster, Xia Yuhui and his companion floated to the monster's corpse. The most valuable part of this monster was its tortoise shell. With just a few materials, it could be used to forge a defensive magical artifact. Therefore, both of them were extremely eager for the tortoise shell.
After a moment's thought, Wan Kuifu said, "Fellow Daoist Xia contributed the most, so the tortoise shell is yours. I only want the body of the Azure Tortoise Beast. What do you say?"
Seizing the opportunity, Fu Lima immediately tried to curry favor with Xia Yuhui.
"That's wonderful, thank you for your generosity, Fellow Daoist Wan." Xia Yuhui did not refuse, after all, he had indeed contributed the most this time.
After killing the monster, the two took its inner core and then dismembered it, taking the parts of its body separately.
After each taking what they desired, the two gazed at another battlefield in the distance. The Su family's opponent was a demon beast stronger than the previous Xuan Turtle. However, the Su family's strength was unfathomable, and they had already severely injured the demon beast. Presumably, it wouldn't be long before the demon beast met its end.
Therefore, neither of them stepped forward to help. If they had offered assistance at that moment, it would have been a classic case of stealing credit.
Sure enough, not long after, the monster was killed by the swords of the Su siblings.
Upon seeing this, Xia Yuhui and his companion immediately stepped forward.
"You two Fellow Daoists Su are truly exceptionally strong. You were able to easily slay such a powerful demonic beast."
"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me. How can we compare to Daoist Crimson Thunder?"
"Yes, Fellow Daoist Xia's strength is extraordinary, something I have never seen in my life. Of course, this Fellow Daoist Wan is also an outstanding person among men."
"You flatter me. I was merely relying on Fellow Daoist Xia's prestige."
After exchanging pleasantries, Xia Yuhui got to the point, saying, "It seems the war in Qingshui County is at a stalemate. They even let two Foundation Establishment demon beasts escape and they've come here."
"I'm afraid it's not just these two demonic beasts; there may be many more that have secretly infiltrated. Fortunately, we are here today; other places would probably have become hell on earth." Su Qingqian sighed with emotion.
"Don't worry, Qingqian. There are also Guiyun Sect cultivators guarding the rear, so there should be no major problems. We just need to focus on ourselves."
“Fellow Daoist Su is absolutely right. There are always tall people to hold up the sky when it falls. Fellow Daoist Xia and I need to go to Jinling County to handle important matters. Why don’t we leave first?” Fu Yue knew that Xia Yuhui’s combat power was amazing, so he became even more uneasy. At this moment, he only wanted to go to Jinling County as soon as possible to clear up the misunderstanding with Xia Yuhui.
Everyone nodded in agreement, and then the five of them sped off towards Jinling County.
With Xia Yuhui and Wan Kuifu leading the way, the five of them traveled at a very fast pace and arrived at Jinling County Market in less than half a month.
"Fellow Daoists, Wan Daoist and I have important matters to attend to, so we will take our leave now. We will meet again." After entering the market, Xia Yuhui cupped his hands in farewell to Su Qingqian and Su Ruyiquan, and then the three of them turned and left together.
In just over thirty breaths, the three of them had passed through layers of people and arrived at Wanxiang Tower in Jinling County.
"Where are they? Mao Er and Mao San, show yourselves at once!" Yan Hanyun, who had recovered, was furious and roared as soon as he entered Wanxianglou.
Xia Yuhui and Wan Kuifu had already searched the entire building with their divine senses, but they did not find any trace of the two Qi Refining Level 7 cultivators.
Upon learning this result, Xia Yuhui's face instantly turned gloomy.
"Sir, shopkeeper, Guards Mao Er and Mao San left the market two days ago without informing us of their whereabouts," a servant hurriedly reported.
Although Yan Hanyun had anticipated this outcome, he remained calm and turned to Xia Yuhui to bow, saying, "Senior Xia, rest assured, these two will certainly not escape my grasp."
After saying this, he quickly went up to the second floor, and when he came downstairs, he was holding a round plate in his hand.
Wan Kuifu took the disc and two beads and said to Xia Yuhui, "Fellow Daoist, could you give me half a day?"
"Alright! Then I'll trouble you, Fellow Daoist Wan. I'll be waiting for your good news at the Xia family's shop." With that, Xia Yuhui turned and left Wanxianglou.
After Xia Yuhui left, Wan Kuifu could no longer contain himself and slapped Yan Hanyun across the face. "You good-for-nothing, you can't even keep an eye on two subordinates. Is this how I've always taught you? Once this matter is over, I'll definitely teach you a lesson."
Having said that, he turned and left. He needed to set off immediately to capture the two escaped cultivators…
In one of the Xia family's shops, Xia family cultivators were methodically serving cultivators who came to purchase various items.
Upon witnessing this scene, Xia Yuhui first used his divine sense to instruct everyone not to pay attention to him, and then walked in alone with steady steps.
The others, due to Xia Yuhui's telepathic message, did not show any unusual reaction and were all busy with their own affairs.
Inside the weapon-refining room, Xia Lianghe was concentrating intently on refining a mid-grade defensive magic weapon. At the final moment, he made a desperate gamble, continuously pouring a large amount of magic power into it.
"boom!"
However, due to insufficient control of his magical power, the furnace suddenly emitted a loud bang, and some debris shot towards Xia Lianghe like a rain of arrows.
A water shield instantly appeared in front of Xia Liang, protecting him completely.
"Bang bang bang!"
All the debris was blocked by the water shield.
"Sigh, still no luck? This is the third time. I only have two chances left. If I fail again, it will really damage my reputation." Xia Lianghe stared at the debris in front of him, lost in thought.
Just then, a crack suddenly appeared in the outer barrier.
Holding the clan leader's token, Xia Yuhui walked straight in. "Not bad, you've already begun to refine mid-grade defensive magic artifacts."
Xia Yuhui had already observed the entire scene from outside. At this moment, he was quite satisfied with this junior. In terms of talent alone, Xia Lianghe's talent for weapon crafting was even slightly better than his own. However, he could not enhance his divine sense, so his progress was not as rapid as his own. Nevertheless, this talent was already worthy of being called genius.
"Clan leader! What brings you here?" Xia Lianghe bowed to Xia Yuhui in surprise.
“I was passing through the market and stopped by to inspect the family shop. When I came in, I learned that you were refining weapons, so I came to give you some pointers.”
