I'm a body cultivator, so it's normal for me to destroy a star with one punch, right?

Inside the Crocodile Dragon Palace.

After seeing Jiang He off, the Crocodile Dragon Half-Saint's face turned cold. He spat and cursed, "Bah, what a piece of trash... He's just a body cultivator who only gained half-saint combat power by unleashing a secret technique, yet he dares to run wild in my Crocodile Dragon Palace!"

The Flying Eagle Half-Saint laughed and said, "He's just a fox borrowing the tiger's might. If it weren't for the Heavenly Gate Pass standing behind him, he would never have been able to leave the Crocodile Dragon Palace today."

"Besides, this time, Brother Crocodile Dragon, you've really struck gold."

"Numerous demon cores, demon corpses and flesh, and all the treasures stored by those Fish-Dragon Realm cultivators who occupy a region... I'm afraid that within a hundred years at most, your Crocodile Dragon Palace will become the number one power in our Eastern Region!"

This statement is not unfounded.

Crocodile Dragon Half-Saint's strength was already above that of Flying Eagle Half-Saint and Black Bear Half-Saint.

He achieved sainthood in a shorter time than the other two, yet he currently possesses the highest realm and has begun his ascent to the "mid-level half-saint" realm!
Unlike the Flying Eagle Half-Saint and the Black Bear Half-Saint.

Crocodile Dragon...

It was originally an ancient mythical beast!
Crocodile Dragon Half-Saint had already revived his bloodline and awakened his innate divine abilities when he was in the Fish-Dragon Realm... For a "descendant of divine beasts" like him, being merely a "mid-level Half-Saint" was not a constraint, but only the beginning of his cultivation.

He can use a portion of his gains to cultivate a large number of loyal and powerful warriors within the Crocodile Dragon Palace.

Then use a portion of the exchanged resources to enhance your own power.

In the next century, Crocodile Dragon Palace's strength will indeed advance by leaps and bounds.

Thinking of this, Crocodile Dragon Half-Saint's frustration vanished, and he sneered, "The face I lost today, I will definitely get back for it when I become a Demon Saint. As for Jiang He, I will definitely crush him with my own hands in the future... Brothers, let's go and continue drinking."

boom!
Just now.

There was a loud noise.

The entire Crocodile Dragon Palace shook violently once again.

The Crocodile Dragon Half-Saint's mood, which had just improved somewhat, immediately soured again. He roared, "Damn it, that bastard is back again?"

He picked up his weapon and prepared to leave the palace.

But the next moment...

The Crocodile Dragon Half-Saint's expression changed drastically.

Because he sensed a powerful killing intent and holy might... no, not just one, but a full fourteen holy mights!

The Flying Eagle Half-Saint and the Black Bear Half-Saint also changed their expressions, looking at the Crocodile Dragon Half-Saint with puzzled looks, and exclaimed, "What's going on? How come there are so many Half-Saints? And their auras are so unfamiliar... Where did they come from?"

"Report!"

At this time.

A shrimp soldier rushed over, knelt on the ground, and howled, "Your Majesty, it's terrible! That guy is back again... and he brought fourteen half-saints with him. The one in charge is especially fierce. He killed many of our brothers with a single blow. He said you poisoned his food!"

boom!
Crocodile Dragon Palace trembled violently once more.

Outside the Crocodile Dragon Palace.

Qin Jiuzhou, wielding a battle blade, exuded a powerful and holy aura as he slashed down with his blade.

The terrifying blade energy severed the water flow and struck the array restrictions of the Crocodile Dragon Palace.

The massive array of restrictions trembled violently, and cracks like spider webs appeared on its surface. Qin Jiuzhou drew his sword and shouted, "Crocodile Dragon Half-Saint, get out here!"

however.

But the Crocodile Dragon Half-Saint was nowhere to be seen.

At this moment, a demigod shouted, "Over here... these three guys opened a door in the back and are trying to escape through the back door!"

Rumble!
A terrifying collision sound rang out, as the half-saint from Flaming Mountain blocked the Crocodile Dragon Half-Saint, the Flying Eagle Half-Saint, and the Black Bear Half-Saint.

brush!
Qin Jiuzhou threw the river in his arms aside and immediately led his men to chase after them.

"grass!"

Jiang He rolled over and sat up, cursing, "Didn't you tell me to pretend to be poisoned? What's with just throwing it away?"

He was cursing under his breath.

But the speed of his feet was by no means slow.

He chased after it and saw a huge lion blocking the entrance to the Crocodile Dragon Palace's formation. Its holy might was rolling around it, and its demonic aura was like clouds. The Myriad Rivers were roaring.

A massive holy palace crashed down from above, directly blasting the black bear half-saint, who had transformed into his true form, away!
Roar!
The lion roared.

"I was once a mid-level Saint, possessing the bloodline of a divine beast. Although I have reduced my cultivation, I am now at least a mid-level Half-Saint, in charge of the Saint Palace, and possess nine Saint Techniques. I can defeat high-level Half-Saints... How dare a mere little bear block my path?"

This king of the Flaming Mountains.

The name is a bit cringey...

He was timid and submissive when facing Qin Jiuzhou, but now he has unleashed terrifying combat power!

Especially his sacred palace, which has both defensive and suppressive powers, allowed him to hold his own against the black bear in a single battle, even gaining the upper hand. In just a short while, he had severely injured the black bear!

"Burial Lion, I, this humble Taoist, am here to lend you a hand!"

An old Taoist priest stepped out.

He wore a Taoist robe, summoned a peach wood sword, and used Taoist flying sword techniques to attack from a distance. With a flick of his palm, more than a dozen Taoist talismans flew out and exploded in front of the Flying Eagle Half-Saint and Crocodile Dragon Half-Saint, turning into streaks of purple lightning!

This old Taoist priest was also a powerful figure from ancient times.

He is one of the few mid-level semi-saints among the ancient powerhouses discovered in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Like the "Burial Lion" of Flaming Mountain, he was once a Saint Realm cultivator. In order to save his life, he had to sever his cultivation. He was the old Taoist priest whom Jiang He and Qin Jiuzhou visited together at that time.

This old Taoist priest lived in seclusion on a small mountain in the Qinling Mountains. He claimed to be a descendant of the ancient "Zixiao Dao" and was known as "Wuwei Zhenren". He was most skilled in Taoist thunder magic!
The True Man of Non-Action launches a distant attack.

They used Taoist flying swords and thunder magic to restrain him.

The Burial Sky Lion engaged in close combat, and the Holy Palace suppressed it. In just a moment, it severely injured the Flying Eagle Half-Saint, the Black Bear Half-Saint, and the Crocodile Dragon Half-Saint.

The three demigods revealed their true forms and roared angrily. The Crocodile Dragon demigod questioned, "Qin Jiuzhou, my Crocodile Dragon Palace has no enmity with your Heavenly Gate Pass. Why did you attack my Crocodile Dragon Palace?"

Qin Jiuzhou said calmly, "Who said there are no grudges? My sixth brother came to mourn the demon kings he killed, and you poisoned his food and drink. Is that what you call having no grudges?"

Crocodile Dragon Half-Saint looked at Jiang He and said angrily, "Isn't he perfectly fine?" Jiang He activated his indestructible golden body, his body shining with golden light, and said, "I have cultivated the physical body supernatural power of indestructible golden body, which makes me immune to all poisons... If it weren't for this, I'm afraid I would have died a violent death long ago."

"Ahhhhh!!!"

The Crocodile Dragon Half-Saint roared in anger, saying, "Damn it... Your Heavenly Gate Pass is far too domineering. I merely retrieved the corpses of the great demons of my Myriad Bend River and their treasured possessions, yet you have come up with such a lame excuse to attack my Crocodile Dragon Palace!"

puff!
A sword light suddenly flashed, severing the tail of the Crocodile Dragon Half-Saint.

Knowing that he could not escape his fate today, Crocodile Dragon Half-Saint said, "I am willing to return all the treasures, and also offer all the treasures of my Crocodile Dragon Palace... I beg the brothers of Tianmen Pass to be merciful and spare our lives."

Jiang He sneered, "Kill you, and these treasures will naturally be ours."

A series of crackling sounds emanated from his body.

Jianghe's body continued to swell, instantly transforming into a height of 200 meters. He then unleashed his three-headed, six-armed form, with his internal blood gushing out, staining the surrounding 500-meter stretch of river water blood-red.

Jianghe's physical strength has now reached more than 36000 dragon strength.

In the form of "Three Heads and Six Arms" + "Heaven and Earth Formation", his physical strength increased tenfold, reaching a height of 360,000 dragons. He activated the laws of internal force, and his power amplified by another 1.3 times!
A powerful and fierce aura emanated from him.

His powerful physical strength made his magnetic field incredibly strong. The invisible force emanated from him, turning the river within a kilometer radius into a vacuum, causing the silt and sand beneath the riverbed to vibrate, and even sending pebbles flying.

He said, "However, Heaven cherishes life... We, the warriors of Great Xia, believe in reasoning with people. Now, we will give the three half-saints a way out."

Jiang He stopped the attacks of Zangtian Lion and Wuwei Zhenren, and beckoned to the three demon race half-saints who had gained a moment of respite, saying, "The three of you will fight me in a series of battles to determine who is superior and who is dead. Whoever defeats me will let you leave!"

The Crocodile Dragon Half-Saint's eyes flickered slightly, and he said in a deep voice, "What do you mean?"

Jiang He explained, "If you die in our battle, the remaining two will take your place. If you win, you can all leave together!"

The three semi-saints were already in despair.

At this moment, however, he saw a glimmer of hope for victory and asked impatiently, "Is this really true?"

His gaze, however, was directed towards the Burial Lion and the Wuwei True Man.

They also understood that among the many experts present, these two were the strongest... either one of them alone could suppress the three of them.

The two of them working together could even kill three of their own demigods.

Even self-destructing one's Holy Source would probably be useless against the opponent.

However, to the surprise of these three semi-saints, Zangtian Lion and Wuwei Zhenren turned to look at Qin Jiuzhou again.

This indicates that among this group of demigods...

He's the one in charge!
Qin Jiuzhou smiled and said, "Since my sixth brother has such a refined interest, then you can play along with him... but you must do it one by one, and you cannot self-destruct your Saint Source."

"Yeah!"

Jiang He also realized what was going on: "We body cultivators only cultivate our physical body, not our Saint Source. If you self-destruct your Saint Source, then our battle will lose its fairness. At that time, my seventh brother and the others can take action to suppress you!"

"it is good!"

Crocodile Dragon Half-Saint coldly said, "To deal with a useless body cultivator who can only possess the combat power of a Half-Saint by relying on secret techniques, I, this Saint, don't need to self-destruct my Saint Source... Besides, how long can you sustain a burst of secret techniques?"

He leaped into the air and rushed towards the outside of the Wanqu River, his killing intent icy cold, and said, "If you have the guts, come with me... I don't want to destroy my Crocodile Dragon Palace!"

Jiang He leaped into the air, following the Crocodile Dragon Half-Saint as they sped out of the Wanqu River and into the high sky.

Qin Jiuzhou, Zangtian Shi, Wuwei Zhenren, and fourteen other powerful figures from Tianmen Pass followed closely behind, while the Flying Eagle Half-Saint and the Black Bear Half-Saint went to the other side.

The Burial Lion was somewhat worried. It flew to Qin Jiuzhou's side and asked in a low voice, "Minister Qin, is my brother Jiang He capable?"

Qin Jiuzhou shook his head and said, "I don't know either... but he's fine protecting himself."

"what?"

The Burial Lion exclaimed in surprise, "Brother Jiang He actually has the ability to protect himself against a peak early-stage Half-Saint descendant of a divine beast..."

The giant lion had now returned to human form, sporting a lion's head, and sighed, "When I first met Brother Jianghe, he was only at the Body Refinement Mountain and Sea Realm. My disciple could even exchange a few blows with him. I never imagined that in just over two months, he would have already reached the combat strength of a half-saint."

Qin Jiuzhou remained silent.

He simply looked up at the sky.

At this moment, Jiang He had completely erupted, and the blood cloud around him transformed into a blood flame. Two of his arms held the World-Slaying Blade and a mid-grade holy sword, while the remaining four arms were clashed with fists and palms. In an instant, he engaged in a fierce battle with the Crocodile Dragon Half-Saint.

Seeing that Qin Jiuzhou remained silent, Zangtian Shi continued, "Minister Qin, with such a capable junior, I wonder if you feel any pressure?"

Qin Jiuzhou: "..."

He glanced back at the Burial Lion and said calmly, "When I first met Jiang He, he was only at the sixth rank of martial arts... It's been less than five months since then, so I'm sure it won't be long before he surpasses me."

Speaking of it.

Qin Jiuzhou paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Of course... I feel that after becoming a saint, my personal understanding of the path of sainthood has become easier and easier. I feel that it won't be long before I break through to the middle-level half-saint level. At that time, my brother and I will probably surpass you seniors."

"........."

The Burial Lion was taken aback.

The eyelids of the ancient powerhouses, including the Immortal Wuwei, twitched wildly.

Oh shit!

Have all these young people taken drugs?

How can it be so powerful?
boom!
Just now.

A loud bang echoed from the horizon.

But then Jiang He punched the Crocodile Dragon Half-Saint's body, which was a hundred feet long, and sent it flying a hundred miles away. Its massive body was almost shattered. Jiang He laughed loudly and said, "Crocodile Dragon Half-Saint, you know that I, Jiang He, am a body cultivator, yet you still dare to fight me in close combat?"

"Are you trying to kill yourself... not quickly enough?"

As the Crocodile Dragon Half-Saint activated the power of the Holy Source to repair his physical body, a look of fear flashed in his eyes!
This guy……

Why is it so strong?
To fight you in close combat?

Do you think I, the Holy One, would be willing?
I have used almost all of my defensive and offensive methods, but you have broken through them one by one and gotten close to me. What can I do?
…………

P.S.: More tonight! (End of Chapter)
