Devour

The mosquito queen spat out the arm that was as dry as a dead branch in her mouth and said in boredom, "It's rare that someone still remembers me. Old man, your blood is too bland and tasteless. Invite a few handsome boys to taste it, and I'll let you go."

Yang Kaiping remained silent, then suddenly launched an attack with all his might. The Eight Immortals spread out and split into eight afterimages, rushing towards him from different angles.

Queen Yi Mosquito sneered and said, "You're still using the same trick. It's already useless. Do you think you can't tell which one is the real one? Your blood has already exposed the location of your real body."

Her four slender arms each had two toes at the end, as sharp as hooked blades. She rushed towards one of the afterimages and cut him in half.

Suddenly, green flames burst out, and flowers gathered in the sky above, petals fell everywhere, and below, the thousand-leaf lotus was on fire, covering the Queen of Mosquitoes, making her like a moth to a flame, seeking her own death.

Queen Yi Mosquito fell into a heavy encirclement and shouted angrily: "Old man, you are so cruel."

Yang Kaiping used himself as bait and barely avoided fatal injuries. He endured the pain and finally jumped out of the trap, his body covered in blood.

The Queen of the Mosquito, who was covered in flames, suddenly turned into a shadow and rushed into the sky as fast as lightning. The clusters of green flowers lost their target and gradually dissipated.

Yang Kaiping sighed secretly: "She finally escaped. Not only is she fast, she also has other strange abilities. Even Step by Step Flower and Thousand Leaf Lotus Fire can't stop her."

"Master, you are seriously injured."

Cheng Bai hurried over from a distance, supported Yang Kaiping, and took out the Blood Ginseng Pill from his treasure bag for him to take. After swallowing the pill, bone granulation slowly grew on the broken limb, gradually restoring a complete arm, with miraculous effects.

Yang Kaiping took out the disease-curing and longevity pill from his pocket and swallowed it. His complexion gradually improved. He shook his head and sighed, "More than half of the people bitten by this old demon died of induced diseases. Don't underestimate her. If we leave here, Tianshu City will not be saved."

Cheng Bai learned from his inquiries that Yang Kaiping was unwilling to give up the thousand-year-old foundation of the headquarters, and had been fighting against Queen Yi Mosquito in the city for several days. He thought he could find the leader of the mosquito demon and kill him, but he was outwitted by Queen Yi Mosquito and was defeated in today's decisive battle.

Tianshu City had experienced several disasters and there were almost no survivors. The few elders of the Medicine Sect who remained were all killed or wounded, and those who were able to escape followed the Tianshu Sixteen Riders and migrated away.

Cheng Bai raised his head and looked towards the sky. The Queen of the B-Mosquito was shrouded in thick black fog in the sky, and the flames on her body were extinguished. It was a swarm of B-Mosquitoes that had multiplied to an alarming number in the city.

"Children, dedicate all your accumulated strength to me." The Queen of the B-Mosquitoes called out to all her subjects in the air. Massive swarms of B-Mosquitoes rolled up and down around her. Clouds and fog gathered to form gloomy black clouds, which blocked out the sunlight.

Seeing this, Cheng Bai said, "They are all gathered together, so we can catch them all in one fell swoop."

He threw dozens of lightning and fire bombs into the sky and exploded in the mosquito swarm. Thunder roared and flames shot into the sky. A large number of B-type mosquitoes were turned into powder and ashes, and batches of corpses fell to the ground.

Yang Kaiping looked at the flames in the air and praised: "What a good secret technique, but it's a pity that the firepower is not enough to kill her."

As soon as he finished speaking, the furious Queen of the Mosquito came rushing towards him like a meteorite. Her body was obviously larger, her whole body was intact, emitting a silver glow, and her strength was even greater.

Cheng Bai resisted with the Six Paths of Bliss Fist and turned into an afterimage, fighting with her. The fight became faster and faster, forming two entangled strong winds that roared wildly on the top of the mountain.

Yang Kaiping's broken arm gradually grew back, as small as a baby's. Seeing that the battle was fierce and he couldn't get his hand in, he retreated again and again, feeling pleasantly surprised: "Cheng Bai's strength is obviously above mine, maybe he has a chance to defeat the old monster Yiwen."

A powerful whirlwind suddenly threw Cheng Bai out, crashing into the stone pillar behind him. Cheng Bai protected himself with the Spirit Shield, quickly got up and rushed forward again. The whirlwind also threw Queen Yi Mosquito out, crashing into the stone wall with a sound of piercing clouds and cracking rocks. Queen Yi Mosquito withstood the heavy blow, jumped up suddenly and killed again.

Both sides fought fiercely, with fists flying everywhere.

Cheng Bai's strength and speed were slightly inferior to Queen Yi Mosquito at the beginning. He mixed sword energy and sniper vibration wave attacks into his boxing skills. Relying on the strong defense of the spirit shield, he was at a disadvantage but remained tenacious.

The longer the fight lasted, the more domineering and powerful the Six Paths of Bliss Fist became, constantly absorbing the advantages of both the enemy and ourselves, becoming comprehensive, powerful, changeable, and unstoppable, gradually catching up with the gap and suppressing the Queen of Mosquitoes.

The unstoppable heavy punch knocked the Queen of Mosquitoes away again, causing her body with black and white ring patterns to be noticeably dented and deformed, smashing the rocks blocking the way and plowing deep marks on the ground, announcing her absolute advantage in hand-to-hand combat.

Queen Yi Mosquito staggered to her feet, spitting out large mouthfuls of blood. She said in disbelief, "You are just a human. How can you have a body as strong as a ferocious beast?"

Seemingly having the upper hand, Yang Kaiping, who was watching the battle, said in horror: "Cheng Bai, be careful."

The blood that had gushed out previously gathered on Queen Yimosquito, blending into her body, dyeing her black and white skin into dark red and bright red, and her eyes turned into black and red vertical pupils, flashing a dangerous light.

Cheng Bai and Yang Kaiping could even smell the strong smell of blood in the air and saw the crazy murderous intent in her eyes that was ready to kill anyone she wanted.

Yang Kaiping hastily reminded: "The bloodthirsty and violent secret technique is crazier than Qiao Beihao's blood rage. It will make you lose your mind and is more effective."

The speed and strength of Queen Yi Mosquito's pounce again increased dramatically, causing Cheng Bai's pupils to shrink and his expression to become solemn.

She swung her four arms like a violent storm, sending white flying and smashing several rocks in succession, plowing deep trenches on the ground. The spirit shield shook and the situation was reversed.

"She is much stronger than before." Cheng Bai jumped up and attacked with both fists, with high morale and no sign of weakness. He shouted, "Then I will become stronger when I meet a stronger opponent. Let's see who can stand to the end."

The two men fought more fiercely. Wherever they passed, mountains collapsed and the ground cracked. Rocks and trees shattered like tofu. The ground was horrible, as if dozens of excavators had dug it up.

Queen Yiwen's eyes were red as she chopped the spirit shield into shape. Cheng Bai did not retreat but advanced instead. She instantly released the nine heavy punches of the Collapse Technique, breaking her arm on the spot. Queen Yiwen seemed to be insensitive to the pain and casually tore off her broken arm, leaving only three arms to fight tenaciously.

Yang Kaiping gradually put his mind at ease: "Although the combat power of the old monster Yiwen has increased a lot, it cannot really break Cheng Bai's defense. The situation is stable."

The Queen of Yi Mosquito suddenly turned into a phantom. Cheng Bai couldn't grasp her location and was caught off guard. He was beaten repeatedly and was knocked out.

Cheng Bai was confused: "What happened just now? She suddenly lost track of her activities, and even my spiritual eyes couldn't see clearly what she did."

He got up and opened his eyes wide to fight again, but found that there was a deviation between Queen Yimosquito's movements and the prediction of his spiritual eyes, which was difficult to predict accurately. If she hadn't broken an arm, the situation would have been even more out of control.

"What kind of weird secret technique is this? It can actually interfere with the ability to predict the future." Cheng Bai had a hard time dealing with it. Even the beast head domain was difficult to locate. He was a little confused for a moment.

Fortunately, after experiencing the battle between Qiongqi and the Faceless Leader in the Ladder of All Things, his martial arts and secret techniques had a new breakthrough, surpassing the limitations of his previous knowledge of martial arts.

Cheng Bai simply stopped relying on his spiritual eyes and fought back with his martial arts instincts. At this point, he had already reached the state of integrating his physical skills and the unity of man and sword, and was no less than the faceless commander. His reaction was even faster, and his speed increased again. He was so fast that he could not be defeated, and he avoided the crazy attacks of Queen Yi Mosquito one after another.

The two figures flashed like lightning, and even Yang Kaiping was dazzled and sweating profusely.

Cheng Bai was retreating again and again, when suddenly he teleported close to Queen Yiweng, slashed out with his palm knife, opened the gate of life and death, and seriously injured his opponent on the spot. He successfully created an opportunity to reverse the situation. Offense is the best defense.

The mosquito queen was tenacious and tried to chop her opponent with the tips of her sharp palms and toes, but she missed. Cheng Bai had already teleported away, but teleported back in an instant and delivered a fatal blow to her from behind.

The secret art of slaughter greatly increased the destructive power of the knife that opened the gate of life and death. The internal damage was much more serious than the external damage. The white knife energy penetrated into the body and tore the internal organs apart.

The Queen of the Second Mosquito was covered in wounds, her crazy black and red vertical pupils gradually spread, she collapsed to the ground due to her injuries, blood gushing out of her body, as if a dam had burst, and thick blood was flowing all over the ground.

"If she hadn't lost her mind and only knew how to attack madly, this mysterious power would have been even more difficult to deal with."

Cheng Bai sighed, but he was ruthless in his attack. He swung his palm knife and cut off her head, then cut open her belly and took out the demon king's inner elixir.

The outcome was decided, Yang Kaiping breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but sigh: "The new wave is catching up with the old wave, the new people are replacing the old people, and I am out of date."

His new left arm had grown to adult size, but was extremely thin. Cheng Bai escorted him down the mountain and back to the store to pack his bags.

Before leaving, Yang Kaiping told Cheng Baidao: "The Medicine Sect's headquarters has withered, so let's go our separate ways. You are already better than me, so there is nothing much to teach you. Just read the Secret Book of Medicine Collection and my book carefully and accumulate more experience."

Cheng Bai watched Yang Kaiping leave for the Green Plains in the south. The golden-spotted magic leopard and black mist magic leopard there were not enough to threaten him.

Returning to the top of Yushan Mountain and looking around, the streets and alleys of Tianshu City were deserted. The beautiful city was as silent as a tomb.

Cheng Bai took out the demon king's inner elixir that he had just obtained and studied it carefully. It contained three secret techniques: one was "blood sacrifice", the second was "bloodthirsty frenzy", and the third was "dissipation".

Blood sacrifice can concentrate the power of other people's blood on oneself, increase one's skills and cultivation, and heal injuries at the same time.

Bloodthirst frenzy can stimulate the life potential contained in blood, greatly increasing strength and speed, but will lead to a state of crazy killing.

These two secret techniques are the key to Queen Otomosquito's amazing combat power. They increase the power significantly, but they also have their own limitations.

Blood sacrifice requires the cultivation of a large number of "people" who donate blood. It is a racial instinct tailor-made for the Queen of the Mosquitoes, but it is much more troublesome for humans.

Bloodthirsty Fury is relatively practical and can instantly increase combat power with very good results. Unfortunately, the negative effect of losing sanity is not what Cheng Bai wants.

There are many ways to improve combat power. Blood Sacrifice and Bloodthirsty Rage are not perfect. Cheng Bai felt a little regretful and did not pay too much attention to them. Instead, he was very interested in the secret art of convergence.

This secret technique is very unique, it can ignore the sense of existence, avoid perception and prediction detection, as if it is floating between reality and illusion. At first glance, it is not as good as the previous two, and it seems to be of little use, but it almost made Cheng Bai helpless just now, which is definitely not ordinary.

As the battle level continues to rise, stealth assassinations in front of strong people are often either discovered or ineffective, and it is inevitable that they will become more and more useless. Convergence will undoubtedly make up for the defects of stealth, and it can also avoid foresight, which is indeed a rare treasure.

I'll take it. Although I don't have the ability to identify the superiority of secret arts, relying on my intuition in battle, Cheng Bai believes that I have selected the best secret art. The beast head domain reappeared in a small and exquisite posture, holding the demon king's inner elixir and sending it into the dantian.

The Jianmu tree formed by the Six Paths of Supremacy vibrated slightly, and another branch at the bottom stretched out its claws to take away the demon king's inner elixir. The light was radiant and it extracted the secret rune of the art of elimination, which gradually took shape in its claws.

The demon king's inner elixir was completely consumed, and it was only enough to condense a second ball of clear and turbid air, and refine the second rune inner elixir inside, which became a perfect multi-faceted sphere. The runes on it suddenly became clear and flashed with golden light.

Cheng Bai clearly felt his strength increase, most of Jianmu was glowing, and he was getting closer to the second change.

"This is invisibility, this is assassination, no problem, strengthen the truth value."

Cheng Bai was overjoyed after trying it. The assassination secret technique and the rune of convergence complemented each other, and the effect was significantly improved. The assassination action became more arbitrary, and it no longer revealed its presence due to a successful attack. He could truly come and go without a trace.

Looking around, I have not been to the Danding Grassland in the north. It is the most advanced area around Tianshu City. The nearby resources of precious medicines and spiritual roots are rich, which are not inferior to the Happy Valley at all. Common ones include Zhuyu grass that can relieve hunger, Xun grass that moisturizes the skin and nourishes the face, and precious treasures include Dan tree that can ward off fire, Qinglang grass that can cure all poisons, and so on.

Danding Grassland is vast and has a variety of species, but the monsters are extremely rare.

The Suanni that dominates this place is extraordinary. It is a fire-type monster that can spit fireballs and absorb heat at will. Its Fire Cloud Claws can kill people and rob people, and it is difficult to guard against. Its strength is even greater than that of the Tidal Beast.

The weak monsters were driven out of the surrounding fertile territory, and even veteran hunters rarely dared to form a team to explore this area.

Cheng Bai entered the Danding grassland to collect herbs and encountered two Suanni. With his current cultivation level, it was no problem for him to kill them with one move. He took away the crystal cores, obtained the essence of meat, and continued to explore and adventure to the north.

The reason why it is called Danding Grassland is, firstly, because Dan trees are produced here, and secondly, because of Danding Mountain.

The mountain was hundreds of meters high, square on all sides, with four legs and two ears, shaped like a giant tripod, and surrounded by runes on its surface, like hundreds of birds paying homage and thousands of beasts galloping. Unfortunately, it was severely weathered and its original appearance could no longer be seen. It stood out from the flat grassland, and the nearby surface was bare without vegetation, clearly distinguishing it from the surrounding greenery.

As they approached Danding Mountain, they suddenly saw a light golden fireball rising from the belly of the mountain, jumping to the top of the mountain, turning into a human form, overlooking the mountain, and making eye contact with Cheng Bai.

He has golden skin, red hair, eyes like lightning, an aura like a rainbow, and looks like a human. He is dressed in flaming golden armor and is as strong and powerful as a knife or an axe.

Cheng Bai's spiritual eyes identified the person in front of him. It seemed as if there was an active volcano that could erupt at any time. It was as quiet as a mountain, but it could wreak havoc on the earth at any time. He muttered in his heart, "This person is definitely not a human being."

Without being rude, he saluted and said, "Excuse me, senior."
