Devour

Cheng Bai teleported to the entrance of Yaoguang Temple, left Xiaobai outside to wait, and entered the altar hall in stealth. He felt the subtle changes in the environment along the way and frowned slightly.

The palace was not only dark but also heavy. The air was much thicker, as if it had turned into liquid. Ordinary people would move slowly and even have difficulty breathing.

The open-air hall was as dark as night, shrouded in darkness, with numerous corpses and demons dancing everywhere, and countless ghosts everywhere, making it like hell on earth.

Seeing the White Jade Banner Master standing firmly in front of the altar, Cheng Bai was secretly surprised: "Is it really immortal?"

In the last fight, the leader of the White Jade Flag was slightly stronger, and Cheng Bai had the upper hand relying on Yu's ability and the fifth sword. Now that his strength has greatly improved, he is no longer afraid of the opponent. He strode through the dense pile of corpses, swinging his sword straight in.

The densely packed mummies around had not yet reacted and were forced back by the sword energy, struggling to resist.

After just a little contact, Cheng Bai was able to judge the exact strength of the group of corpses. Each one of them was comparable to the Green Stone Man. With more than ten thousand of them, they were a huge military force that dominated the continent.

Cheng Bai didn't dare to underestimate such a legion of corpses. It was not difficult to force them back or even kill them, but the swarming numbers like a tide would still be a big trouble. He had to hide and avoid them temporarily.

As before, the leader of the White Jade Banner saw through the invisibility, and swaggered out with his neck tilted. His dry hands suddenly stretched out, his fingertips were as sharp as blades, and his claws grabbed forward.

Cheng Bai dodged the attack, stepped back quickly, and led it into the hall behind him again. As soon as they fought, he noticed that the owner of the White Jade Flag had changed a lot.

Not only does its appearance become paler, but its strength has also greatly improved. It has completed a complete transformation from a mummy to a corpse demon. Its body is harder, its claws are sharper, and its strength is even greater.

The sharp claws came and went suddenly, strangely and unpredictably, and with a casual grab, a hole appeared in the hall, as if what was stretched out was not a hand, but an anti-tank armor-piercing bullet.

The two men fought in the air, their bodies intertwined, swords flashed and claws clashed in close combat, and sonic booms were heard one after another.

Cheng Bai responded calmly, and the black spirit layered up to five layers of cross sword energy. Although this move is three swords in one, it is already very refined and simple. No matter how many changes you make, I will not deviate from the essence. The attack is fast, fierce and fierce, suppressing the white jade flag owner, chopping on the two ghost claws, making a sound of metal clashing.

After a few moves, the fifth-level sword energy was resisted, and the corpse monster's finger bones were broken bit by bit. The White Jade Banner Master was obviously at a disadvantage. Although his strength increased, it was not as fast as Cheng Bai's progress.

After losing the battle, the leader of the White Jade Banner took a few steps back. His broken finger bones quickly recovered and he let out a series of unwilling howls. He opened his bloody mouth full of sharp teeth and spewed out a roaring wind.

These old moves were no problem for Cheng Bai, who didn't even need to deploy his domain. He integrated the Six Paths of Bliss Fist into his mind, and the sword light surged. The power of his multiple sword techniques was further enhanced, superimposed into seven layers of cross sword energy. He slashed at his opponent and broke through the Yinfeng Domain with a decisive force.

After a dozen moves, the leader of the White Jade Banner was defeated step by step, seemingly at the end of his rope.

Cheng Bai was delighted: "This undead monster has become a good target for leveling up. I get better and better at it every time I kill it. It's rare in this world."

The leader of the White Jade Flag suddenly roared wildly and used an unheard-of secret technique. Hundreds of shadow tentacles extended from all nine orifices of his body, forming a dark web like clouds and mist, pressing towards Cheng Bai with a fierce momentum that seemed like a devastating disaster.

Ordinary people cannot see these shadow tentacles composed of spiritual energy. They are much stronger than the few last time. Once they invade the spiritual consciousness, no matter how strong they are, they are powerless to reverse the situation. However, they cannot be hidden from Cheng Bai's spiritual eyes, and he immediately deployed a domain.

The strange image of the Taotie beast's head suddenly appeared, flying flexibly and swallowing the dark net, biting out a big hole in one bite. The shadow tentacles could not touch Cheng Bai at all and were instead firmly restrained.

"This energy is of extremely high quality, better than the crystal core of monsters." Cheng Bai was filled with rave reviews after swallowing it.

The Beast Head Domain opened its mouth and swallowed up the dark net in just a breath. The dried corpse of the White Jade Flag Master lost his strength and fell down again. This time he won much faster.

After this battle, his power increased greatly, and his domain became more natural. The ferocious beast head, human face, dragon scales and tiger teeth were lifelike, corresponding to the natural external forces, and he was half a step into the realm of heaven. His true energy was more condensed, and the Jianmu tree in his dantian, which was grown by the Six Paths of Uniqueness, had a faint cyclone in the drooping giant claws at the bottom, as if it was about to condense an inner elixir.

Cheng Bai used the Six Paths of Supreme Power to confirm that the spiritual energy he had obtained was pure and harmless, without any impurities. He secretly rejoiced in his heart, "The White Jade Flag Master may be able to upgrade his rank, so I'll keep it for the next harvest."

He put away his knife, turned invisible and sneaked into the altar, took out seven life-threatening gold coins, and thought repeatedly in his heart: "There are seven of these treasures in total. Doesn't it mean that they can obtain seven kinds of secret techniques? Don't waste the opportunity."

He picked out a life-threatening gold coin and placed it on the altar, and it disappeared immediately. However, after waiting for a while, the altar did not return the expected result.

Cheng Bai was secretly shocked: "Is the treasure not heavy enough?"

Two more were placed on the altar, and they also disappeared, still without any movement.

Cheng Bai thought about it, and put down the last four life-threatening gold coins. Suddenly, a bright light filled the air, illuminating the night sky.

"You are really calculating. You have to surpass the previous performance before you can reward me." Cheng Bai couldn't help but complain in his heart.

The sacrificial treasure transformed into a dazzling ball of light, floated in front of him, and unfolded three rune secrets, all of which were profound and mysterious, each with its own strengths and great power.

"Sniper" condenses air pressure and vibration waves to attack long-range targets, causing air pressure and kinetic energy damage.

Its range is staggering, limited by the fact that it must be airborne to strike anywhere within the planet's atmosphere.

"Sword Dance" gradually increases attack and speed during continuous sword fighting, making you stronger as the battle goes on.

This secret technique of strengthening martial arts is undoubtedly good news for sword practitioners. The sword power will be enhanced to an immeasurable level. Unfortunately, Cheng Bai does not use a sword.

"The Dead", the corpse of the killed target will become a corpse slave and can be controlled at will. The existence of the corpse slave can add a small amount of combat power to the master during his lifetime.

The secret art of the dead is enough to create an army of undead. The more people are killed, the more corpse slaves they have, and the stronger they become. Seeing the large number of corpses around the altar, you can understand its power.

Compare the effects of the two and consider choosing the direction.

Jianwu had no choice but to give up.

The effect of the dead is very good. If a large number of corpses without complaints can cover the sky and the earth, how terrifying will the king of the undead be?

But Cheng Baizhi is not here, he prefers to be a lone hero.

The lightning fire attack has not increased as much as the multiple sword qi so far, and it has almost become a special fire for cooking, and is rarely used in battle. The ultra-long-range pursuit of Qiongqi made Cheng Bai feel amazing. Now that the sniper secret technique has better ultra-long-range attacks and new tactics, he chose to master the sniper secret technique and give up other runes.

Having gotten what he wanted, Cheng Bai walked down the altar gracefully and teleported out of the palace before the mummies could make a commotion.

After a long delay, Xiaobai outside the palace was not idle. A man and a woman approached the Yaoguang Temple and clashed with the vigilant white giant wolf.

Xiaobai followed Cheng Bai and enjoyed precious spiritual creatures every day. He also ran diligently and exercised. His physical fitness and combat power improved dramatically. His strength was no less than that of the six-tailed scorpion lion.

The wolf was seen leaping around, as fast as a whirlwind, biting and clawing at each other, leaving scars all over the body. The two men, who claimed to be masters, could not resist it together, and their weapons were knocked away, looking miserable.

"You are the messenger of disaster, but you can't even defeat a giant white wolf. How dare you call yourself the elite of the legion?"

The black-robed man who was observing in the dark shook his head and sneered, then walked out of the shadows. It turned out to be the leader of the Black Jade Flag.

Xiaobai noticed that the opponent's aura was different from others, so he stopped attacking, slowly retreated, and let out a threatening growl.

The two envoys of wind and rain broke away from the wolf's kiss and retreated hastily to the side of the master of the black jade flag.

The Black Jade Banner Master stared at the saddle and ornaments on Xiao Bai, frowned and said, "It's a demon beast mount tamed by a hunter. How can it still be so wild? Which expert came to the Yaoguang Holy Temple?"

"it's me."

Cheng Bai was teleported out of the palace. He had already seen the confrontation between three people and one wolf. He strode to Xiaobai and reached out to comfort his mount.

The leader of the Black Jade Banner looked Cheng Bai up and down, and said in astonishment, "Thunder Blade King Cheng Bai? You took my Crescent Moon Blade."

The Thunder Blade King has become famous in the Qiongqi Continent, and the Lord of the Black Jade Flag has found clues while searching for his own weapon.

Cheng Bai smiled and asked, "Is the injury on your back healed?"

The leader of the Black Jade Banner was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized, "It was you who attacked me that day." He pulled out the scimitar he carried with him. Although it was not as good as before, it was also a fine treasure made of dragon steel and inlaid with a six-tailed scorpion lion crystal core. It was called the Poison Dragon Knife.

He was furious and shouted, "You little bastard ruined my business and took my weapon. How can I let you go today?"

Cheng Bai said disapprovingly: "What are you doing here, General of the Disaster Legion? Are you looking for your colleagues?"

The leader of the Black Jade Flag snorted coldly, unwilling to answer, and swung his sword to cut. The Willow Catkins Following the Wind sword technique he used was considered unique in the Qiongqi Continent.

After Cheng Bai mastered the Six Paths of Bliss Fist, he became more and more adept at absorbing the strengths of martial arts and improving on their weaknesses. He defended tightly against the enemy and concentrated carefully on watching his opponent's sword moves, which were light and agile, elusive, and varied. He chopped at the neck, chest, abdomen, and back, attacking the meridians where qi and blood flowed. It seemed complicated and unpredictable, but in fact there were many rules to follow.

Seeing that Cheng Bai was only defending and retreating, the two envoys Fengyu thought there was an opportunity and cooperated with their leader to surround and kill him.

Cheng Bai still handled it with ease. After he figured out the opponent's moves, he suddenly unleashed his Black Spirit killing move. The brilliant sword light swallowed up the three people like the claws of a beast.

The two envoys Fengyu fell to the ground, each with a cross-shaped knife mark on their body, and died on the spot. The leader of the Black Jade Banner shed blood, holding the Poison Dragon Knife upside down and ran away, holding his head in his hands.

Cheng Bai was too lazy to chase after him, and he just summarized his experience: "It seems that I am really arrogant. I wanted to kill three people with one move, but I only killed two. I was seriously injured but still able to run so fast. Although black jade is not as good as white jade, it is at least a little tricky."

Things are different now, the Black Jade Flag Master is no match anymore.

Cheng Bai was concerned about the beauty, and thought about her so much that he teleported Xiaobai to Tianxuan City. He changed into a tri-color moonlight deer fur suit, which made him look more handsome and energetic. He came to Tianxuan Temple with great interest to ask for an audience with the Crazy Staff King Ningxiang.

"The Palace Master, King of Light Blade, and King of Mad Staff went to the main temple of the Weapon Sect this morning." The temple disciple said truthfully.

The main altar of the Qi Sect is located in the north-west of Tianxuan City, 1,800 miles away in the Three Sages Valley of Goumeng Mountain, passing through the Youxi Forest and Canxing Country. Yun Juan got the Youguang Blade and Crystal Core, and went to the main altar of the Qi Sect to refine amazing treasures, which will surely show her skills in the martial arts hunting conference.

Cheng Bai heard this and murmured, "It's such a coincidence... No, it's a perfect coincidence. I also have to go to the Qi Sect headquarters. The Xuanming Treasure Cloth should be ready soon."

He rode Xiaobai and leisurely left the city and crossed a desert journey. Perhaps the nearby sand monsters were wiped out in the sandstorm, so he did not encounter any monsters and successfully walked out of the edge of the desert and entered the Youxi Forest.

The trees in the forest are somewhat different from those elsewhere. They are dark in color and have rich species. During the day, they are filled with ancient tree spirits, while at night, they are the world of vampire bats.

The vampire tree is a specialty of the deep forest of Youxi. If an animal accidentally touches its leaves, it will be sucked tightly. The sharp thorns of the leaves penetrate the skin and suck the blood of the prey. Its fruit is shaped like a baby and is also called ghost ginseng. Eating it can prolong life.

Cheng Bai picked a ghost ginseng and tasted it. It had a unique taste and flavor. The fruits on the tree were crying and the leaves were rustling like threats. It turned out to be an ancient tree spirit, but the hunters who didn't care about it plucked all the mature ghost ginseng.

As the sky gradually darkens, the lazy figures of vampire bats can occasionally be seen in the darkness. These monsters fold their wings on both sides of their bodies and stand up to the size of humans. Some particularly strong ones are even taller.

They are gloomy in habits, hate sunlight, prefer to forage at night, and stand at the top of the food chain pyramid in the Gloomy Forest. They are much more powerful than the ancient tree spirits commonly seen here.

Cheng Bai casually chopped down an ancient tree spirit that was blocking his way, took out the gray-yellow crystal core, used the wooden body as a tent frame, and camped in a spacious place in the forest. If any vampire bats dared to attack at night, he would kill them in droves.

Sure enough, a vampire bat came to visit that night. He was very polite, ignoring the knife in Cheng Bai's hand and the growl of the giant wolf. He bowed and said, "Dear hunter, I am the bat king of the gloomy forest. I know what you want. There is a whole pool of gold in the Happy Pool, countless wealth, and I can take you to get it."

Happy pool?

Cheng Bai had never heard of this from the guild governor.

A whole pool of gold and endless wealth are indeed attractive, but there is no such thing as a free lunch. Most of the time, there are only traps.

Cheng Bai looked at the vampire bat king in front of him curiously. It was the one that had appeared at the gate of Tianji City. He asked in confusion, "What do you want?"

The Vampire Bat King seemed like a gentleman from the upper class, and he talked without any obstacles: "No, no... I don't want anything. The Happy Pool is the territory of the Charms, and they are hostile to my race. As long as I can cause them losses, that's what I want. Gold is what humans pursue, and we each take what we need."

"Charm demon? You lead the way."

It is a monster that is more powerful than a vampire bat, very rare, and good at using the charm of its voice to control others.

The Happy Pond is located in the northwest of the Gloomy Forest. It is not very large and is far smaller than a lake. It can only be considered a pond, and it is so shallow that an adult standing in the pond will only be able to expose the area above the knees.

The demon was dancing in the middle of the pool. At first glance, she looked almost the same as a human woman, so it was not an exaggeration to call her "she".

She was dressed in golden clothes, through which her enchanting jade-like skin could be vaguely seen, reflecting an alluring bright light. The golden dress was short and could hardly hide the pale skeletal tail swaying behind her as she danced, revealing her identity as a demon.
