With all these qualities, I will eventually become immortal.

Chapter 286 Encirclement, Appearance, Wood Essence
If the residents are alright, it's a good opportunity to practice their proficiency in the Third Rank Fire Fist and Qi Jiguang Long Fist.

God glanced around, occasionally hearing gunshots and the roars of the Heavenly Demon.

It seems that the garrison and police have gradually taken control of the situation in the city.

The technologically advanced firearms they possessed were unusable inside the Demon Nest.

However, in the real world, bullets made of special materials can already be used to tear through the Heavenly Demon Force Field.

This is similar to the principle behind the "Dragon Bone" boxing gloves in Meng Chuan's hands.

These firearms and bullets were also specially supplied to the military, with limited production and unable to circulate among civilians.

However, its effect is limited, and it can only kill lower-level demons.

Facing beings of mid-level or higher Heavenly Demon rank.

Only martial artists who have broken through the first major limit and mastered true qi can contend with it.

But regardless of the level of the Heavenly Demon, ordinary people and martial artists who encounter it face a near-certain death.
Ruyi Restaurant, at the corner of Chencang East Street.

At the far end of the restaurant, a dozen or so people were hiding in a small storage room.

These were all residents upstairs. They were fast asleep when they suddenly felt the earth shaking and rushed out of their homes.

I thought it was an earthquake, but I never expected it to be the Heavenly Demons breaching the city, something I've never encountered before.

Hundreds of people in the building scattered and fled in panic.

Some people fled elsewhere, while others took refuge in this place.

They are all lucky ones.

Because most people have already been devoured by the hellish demons lurking outside the door.
Outside the storage room, the roots of thorny bushes had pierced through the walls.

Dark green, foul-smelling mycelium was slowly spreading along the crack in the door.

Mycelium is their "five senses," and at this very moment, these demons have found them.
A mother and daughter were tightly embracing each other; the child was so frightened that she could barely cry.

Suddenly, a loud "boom" was heard.

Half of the wall collapsed, revealing three scarlet eyes through the dust and smoke.

The wooden spikes and sharp claws had torn open the roof, and foul-smelling saliva dripped onto the residents' heads.

"Waaaaah!!!"

Upon witnessing this scene, everyone's emotions suddenly collapsed, starting with the mother and daughter.

hiss--

The Thorn Demon's body twisted and swelled, its three giant teeth dripping saliva, and its mycelium swept towards the crowd like a living thing.

"Baby, don't look."

The mother reached out and covered the child's eyes, shielding him tightly beneath her.

Everyone else sat limp on the ground, no one ran, and no one resisted.

Facing such a "great demon," nothing you do will be of any use.

Even ordinary people who are willing to die bravely deserve commendable courage.
The wooden spikes and sharp claws stirred up a foul stench, and were only three inches away from her neck.

In an instant, a roar resounded across the sky.

"Roar--!"

He held his inner energy in his mouth and roared, stunning his opponent so much that he stood frozen in place, unable to move.

Immediately afterwards, a blazing white fist force pierced through the smoke and dust, and the demon's body instantly exploded into a shower of wood chips.

As ice and fire swept across, the remaining mycelium turned to ash in the sparks.

Meng Chuan stood up, and in everyone's eyes, he looked like an angel sent from heaven.

"You lead them to retreat, I'll deal with the remaining two."

"it is good."

The martial artist didn't ask any more questions and followed his instructions.

Another instant kill with a single punch; any words would seem pale and powerless at this moment.

Meng Chuan regained his senses and began to deal with the remaining two thorny swarms.

The other person escorted everyone away from the side, walked up to him, and asked:
"Then I'll take them away first. My name is Yan Huawu, [Panshan Jiao Feng Yue]."

May I ask your name, brother? I'm sure you'll be richly rewarded in the future.

Meng Chuan waved his hand, and as he sprinted forward, his voice lingered in the wind.

"The Biography of Meng Chuan of the Northern Associated University"

Upon hearing this, the man stared at Meng Chuan's rapidly growing back, a look of sudden realization on his face.

Then, his expression instantly turned to one of utter surprise.

"So he was the national champion! Wait, didn't he just break through?"

What kind of monster is this? He already possesses such strength after just breaking through to the next realm!
He heard a loud bang behind him, and without thinking, he quickly protected everyone and left.

hiss.!

From the perspective of the two demons, a little dwarf suddenly charged towards them from a distance, seemingly seeking death.

As the distance closed, the other's figure grew larger and larger, gradually becoming as tall as them.

Immediately afterwards, you could see that person suddenly smile.

boom--!
In an instant, an irresistible, immense force, accompanied by the piercing whistling sound of the bellows being pulled, fiercely struck its chest!

The number of acupoints affected by the mutation varies among martial artists.

Verbally, they divide their strength into early, middle, and peak stages.

The same principle applies; there are also differences between demons of the same rank, only they are not as finely divided as in martial arts.

These two thorny creatures were significantly stronger than the one Meng Chuan had casually killed earlier.

puff-

Meng Chuan attacked with both fists, his fists surging like two dragons emerging from the sea. The next moment, the sensation from his fist blades made his expression change.

The feeling that came back to my mind was like sticking my hand into a muddy swamp.

A thick, semi-transparent black protective membrane, composed of some mysterious power, floated on the surface of the two demons, desperately resisting the attack.

This was the [Heavenly Demon Stance], successfully withstanding Meng Zhen's true qi attack. Whoosh—!
The two thorny monsters opened and closed their three-lobed mouths on their heads, instantly stretching forward and pulling their necks out by two meters.

A row of long, white, sharp teeth viciously bit down on Meng Chuan's head.

"die!"

Meng Chuan reacted even faster, and before the other party could bite him, he moved to the left side of the creature.

Suddenly, a burst of intense heat erupted from the blade of his fist.

This is Qi Jiguang's Long Fist technique, "Stepping Forward with a Punch." It is not simply a straight punch; it is accompanied by a series of continuous movements, including stepping forward and chopping.

The scorching heat of the fist erupted instantly, the true energy flowing like an armor-piercing bullet, penetrating deep into the opponent's body before exploding with a bang.

A hissing sound came from the air as the thorny wretch screamed and flew up, its entire demonic body piercing through several walls before finally losing momentum and sticking to the wall at an angle.

Before he could fall to the ground, Meng Chuan had already appeared by the wall, and with a powerful swing of his arm, he smashed him into countless fragments.

A whooshing sound came from behind, and another, stronger thorny swarm crashed into the wall from behind Meng Chuan.

Boom! ! !

The two men kept pushing their way through the steel support column inside the house before stopping.

It was violently smashed into a twisted, deeply recessed crater.

The solid pillar, which would take two people to hug, was bent by the force of the impact.

Wisps of white smoke rose from the broken walls and ruins. Meng Chuan pushed himself up with one arm and continued to climb upwards.

In the eyes of the Heavenly Demon, the other party was like an inflating balloon, climbing from three meters to nearly four meters, until it was half a head taller than it.

Liberation—160%
Meng Chuan crossed his twin blades in front of his chest, his explosive muscles bulging and twisting, carrying a huge impact as he slammed into the impact.

It's like a hundred-ton truck running over a bicycle.

After you rushed past, how did you end up stuck under my car wheel?
Before the thorns could react, it felt itself scattered here and there, everywhere.

Meng Chuan's right arm was pierced by a blade that went deep into his chest.

A surge of powerful true energy erupted within the opponent's body, causing the demon's limbs and even head to explode, turning into fragments that drifted past his ears.

He only stopped when he forcefully shoved it into the wall, then shook off the dark green pus clinging to his fist blade.

patter
A green cloud of energy emerged from the remaining chest and torso of the Heavenly Demon.

Meng Chuan covered his true energy with one hand to receive it, and the moment he touched it, a piercing scream came from his ear.

"This thing is the [True Spirit]. No wonder it's stronger; it really has something."

The backpack couldn't contain this thing, and he didn't have the special sealed jar used to seal the true spirit either.

Its specific name is "Spirit-Suppressing Jar," which is a specially made jar used to store the true spirit of the Heavenly Demon.

With a small mouth and a large abdomen, it can maintain true flexibility for a long time and prevent it from escaping.

This is also a state-controlled device; it cannot be purchased with United University credits and can only be obtained through Demon Nest battle merits.

After thinking for a moment, his mind twitched slightly, and he released his physical body's control over the body.

The dragon demon quietly slid down from above, swallowed it whole, and then retreated.

Now it's been trained to be very obedient, and it knows to go back without Meng Chuan urging it.

"Once it's almost digested, let the Thunder Seed refine it again and return it to my bones and muscles."

Then we should be able to know the effects of the Wood Essence.

The stronger the Heavenly Demon, the higher the value of its True Spirit.

The one that Meng Chuan killed was considered top-tier among mid-level Heavenly Demons.

Its true spiritual value is naturally considerable, at least around two million.

It's a little heartbreaking to feed the dog, but thankfully the dog doesn't digest it all by itself.

He's the one who took the lion's share.
Currently, he has mastered two types of effects of vital energy.

The essence of fire enhances power, while the essence of water strengthens soul attacks.

After a few days, once the dragon demon has finished digesting it, it will be able to learn about the effects of a new kind of essence.

Coming to my senses, I looked around at the complete silence.

In the blink of an eye, the demon's severed limbs turned to ashes and disappeared completely, leaving only a wrinkled skin in the pit.

Meng Chuan tucked the moon from the Bridge of Helplessness back to his waist, then reached in and stuffed it into his bag.

After stopping, he loosened his muscles and bones, shrinking his body size.

To defeat this one, Meng Chuan used almost 6% of his strength.

The remaining 40% consists of half the complete liberation of the physical body and half the true energy of the Thunder Seed.

This is a powerful demon whose strength is close to that of a mid-to-top-tier demon.

But it still fell short in the end.

If it were a being close to the highest level, Meng Chuan estimated that even if he used all his skills, he could barely kill them.

Old Dong should still be watching him from the shadows. He thought about it and decided that he should try to avoid the sharp edge of this kind of demon.

Aside from my master and myself, it's best that no third person knows about the Thunder Seed True Qi.

After a series of battles, Meng Chuan was also somewhat fatigued.

He took out a few nutritional pastes from his backpack and ate them on the spot in the room, while also taking a short rest.

He took out his phone to check, and new messages kept popping up in the large group chat for this emergency operation, with 999+ unread messages.

After reading the message to all staff, Meng Chuan felt reassured.

The person in charge of the battlefield inside the city told everyone that more than half of the demons have now been eliminated.

Moreover, with the support of the garrison's firepower, most of the low-level demons were killed.

Only a few high-ranking Heavenly Demons remained, who were difficult to deal with.

These demons can only be dealt with by martial artists who have broken through the limits of the human body.

Meng Chuan quickly scrolled to the bottom of the news and saw that no one from the UN General Assembly had been killed, and only a few had been injured. He felt much more at ease.
