Chapter 131: Seventh-Rank Demon Beast!

    

re."After finishing his words, a pattern of lines appeared on his palm and spread across his entire arm!Then, there was a snap!Arm fell off!The fallen arm changed frantically, like a machine, in just..."Good"

Even Heaven-Old felt a tinge of unease, and frowned deeply.

Bang!

Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed from afar, followed by two beastly roars. Then came terrifying waves of energy.

"Such terrifying residual power, this must have been a battle between two high-level demon beasts,"

Fang Chen's heart moved, and he said, "Let's go take a look."

I was just thinking that.

By the fifth or sixth level, demonic beasts possessed considerable intelligence and knew that fighting other equally powerful demonic beasts would only result in injury.

But here, those who are wounded usually meet one fate: death.

So they will avoid bloodshed unless there is a reason that forces their hand.

For example, treasure.

If what they're competing for is exactly what they're looking for, then wouldn't that be perfect.

Approaching the battle cautiously, I saw an ironclad giant crocodile, about five zhang long, fighting with a gigantic black bird.

The blackbird is agile and swift, its wings spanning ten zhang when outstretched! Its presence is awe-inspiring.

Both were pinnacle Fifth Rank monsters, their battle was incredibly fierce.

The black bird is extremely fast and unpredictable, its form flickering as it constantly attacks with its sharp claws.

But the Tyrannosaurus Rex's defense is amazing, its mouth spews lava, it's incredibly powerful.

This black bird was also quite difficult to break through its defenses for a time, able only to rely on its own agility and constantly attack the armored crocodile from eight directions in the west.

Though the Ironclad Crocodile was attacked, it constantly looked for opportunities to strike the Blackbird a devastating blow!

The old man introduced: "That black bird is called the Shadowfire Sparrow, a demonic beast renowned for its agility among birds. If it sets its sights on you, there's only one fate: to be drained of life alive. Even I wouldn't stand a chance against it."

"The crocodile is named Tie Yan Crocodile. Don't look at its slow movements, it's just accumulating strength. Once there's an opportunity, the power it unleashes is even difficult for a level six demon beast to withstand."

Although a Level 5 cultivator is theoretically equivalent to a Zhou Yuan realm cultivator, if a true Zhou Yuan realm cultivator were to face them head-on, they would most likely be defeated.

Demons and humans are different. They grow through fighting, and once they clash, it's a fight to the death. Their instinct for battle is deeply ingrained in their bones.

Unlike monks who are more rational and hesitant in combat, lacking ruthlessness.

"Fang Xiaoyou, look at that!"

The old man pointed to a place.

Fang Chen looked, there was a red seven-petaled flower, its color brilliant and slowly unfolding.

"Seven Treasure Heavenly Spirit Flower! And it's a fifth-order one!" His heart skipped a beat.

This is a divine flower that opens up meridians. The first time it's taken, an ordinary cultivator can at least open up one meridian.

... While Fang Chen's knowledge sea contains the best way to develop this flower, by combining it with some herbs to refine it into pills, he could open at least two more meridians.

“This flower is excellent for opening meridians, perfectly suited for someone like you, Fang Xiao You, with your advanced age.”

It's not very useful for him, it would be better to give it to Fang Chen as a gift.

Thanks heaven, I will remember this kindness.

Fang Chendao.

Heavenly Old chuckled and said, "Friend Fang, you don't need to be polite. This flower has little effect on me."

He looked at the two demon beasts and said, "When these two demon beasts are both severely injured, this old man will make a move to settle things. Then, Daoist Friend, you can pick the flower.

Please excuse the trouble, old man.

The battle between the two monstrous beasts was still intense, both sides seemed to be fighting with all their might.

To prevent itself from being caught by the Iron Flame Crocodile, Ying Huo Que unleashed its speed talent to the limit. Fang Chen and his companion could only see afterimages constantly shuttling through.

Even with Fang Chen using the Soul Heaven Demon Eye, it was still impossible to capture it clearly.

Although the Ironflame Crocodile boasts formidable defense, it is left with numerous wounds under the relentless assault of the Shadowfire Sparrow.

But it still endured, searching for an opportunity.

Now both sides are playing a game of endurance, whoever can hold out the longest will be the winner.

However, in terms of physical exertion, Yinghuo Que consumed more energy, so it gradually became unstable and eager for victory.

> The outcome has been decided, and the way forward is clear.

The next moment, Yinghuo Que thought it had avoided Tie Yan Croc's vision and attacked!

To his surprise, it was still a trap set by the Tieyan Crocodile. It suddenly turned and opened its massive jaws, biting down on Ying Huo Que's neck!

Ying Huo Que cried out in pain, struggling frantically but to no avail.

Only seeing the iron flame crocodile's mouth rolling with heat waves, the Yinghuo Bird was bitten and its head was melted on the spot.

"That's it now!"

As the old man prepared to strike, the iron flame crocodile was distracted by the shadow firebird, making it the perfect time for a move.

Fang Chen naturally had no objection, but just then!

He bristled with fear! A chilling threat of death washed over him!

"Wait!"

He immediately called out to Tianlao!

"What's wrong" Tian Lao asked in confusion.

"Hide! Quickly! Something is approaching!"

As they spoke, he had already stuck several invisibility talismans on himself.

Heaven Old saw this and was slightly taken aback, because he didn't feel anything unusual.

But out of trust for the other party, Chen still reacted immediately, quickly hiding his breath and taking cover behind a rock.

Bang!

The next moment! The ground where the Ironflame Croc was, rumbled and broke open! A colossal creature surged from the earth! Its jaws clamped onto the terrified face of the Ironflame Croc! Swallowing it along with the Shadowfire Sparrow.

Suddenly, Tianlao's waning light glanced at him, and he felt a chill down his spine.

That was an incredibly huge red centipede, with thick armor covering its whole body and a head like a devil's face. Its length was almost invisible to the end, and the countless legs it had made one's scalp tingle.

And it still had quite a lot of magma on its body! It was actually a monster that could move freely in the magma.

"Seventh Level! Ten Thousand Flames Ghostly Worm!"

Upon sensing the great danger, the Elder's cold sweat began to pour. This is the only seventh-grade demon beast in Wan Yan Volcano!

He was both regretful and grateful that he had listened to Fang Chen's words. If he had rushed out just now, there was no doubt that he would have been dead.

"Who! Who in the world threw something into my hole!"

The Wan Yan Gui Luo Worm let out a hysterical roar, its voice trembling the heavens and earth, the ground shaking incessantly.

By the time a demon beast reaches level seven, it already possesses considerable intelligence and is capable of speaking.

However, demons and beasts lack divine consciousness and can only rely on scent or sight to locate their enemies.

Otherwise, if they were just Master-level cultivators, Fang Chen and the other's concealment methods could only be described as laughable.

Bang!

The Myriad Flame Ghost Worm didn't stay on the surface for long, it quickly burrowed back into the ground and disappeared.

But Fang Chen and the other had already dared not to move.

After an incense stick's worth of time, there was no more movement. Only then did the two emerge from their hidden place.

But even now, the two of them are still haunted by it.

"Thanks to young friend Fang's awareness, otherwise this old man would have died without a doubt."

Then he questioned curiously, “However, Young Friend Fang, how did you anticipate the appearance of this seventh-grade demon beast”

Fang Chen gradually eased up, and upon hearing this question, he was taken aback.

He also didn't know why he could sense it beforehand, he just suddenly felt extremely uneasy.

No, this wasn't him sensing it beforehand, but his Sword Demon Body sensing it ahead of time!

"Could it be that my Demon King's physique could sense danger coming first!" he thought to himself, then excitement surged through him: "In that case, wouldn't I have one more means of self-preservation!"

For some reason, perhaps because they were afraid of being hunted.

When his strength advances, Fang Chen's mood isn't high, but as long as there are life-saving treasures or methods, he will be very happy.

Upon hearing Tian Lao's question, he naturally wouldn't reveal the secret of the Sword Demon's body. He could only say: "Perhaps it's a sixth sense."

Ah, I see.

Tianlao did not harbor any suspicion: "A cultivator's sixth sense can sometimes be very accurate, and the higher their realm, the clearer their feelings become. Young Fang’s sensitivity at such a young age is truly admirable."

"Old Heaven praised Fang Chen, who modestly responded."

Then, Fang Chen looked in the direction of the Seven Treasure Heavenly Spirit Flower.

Now the flower has fully bloomed, a sweet fragrance fills the air, making one intoxicated.

"It seems that the seventh-level monster is not interested in this flower. It's a good thing for us," Tian Lao laughed, "Fang Xiao You, quickly pluck this flower and avoid attracting other high-ranking monsters."

"Good "

Fang Chen naturally obeyed respectfully.nternal injuries as well.If you move your spiritual energy around recklessly, the consequences will be dire if your injuries worsen.She said, "Master, first find a place to retreat for a while and hea...
