This was the first time it had ever seen such a cold-blooded and ruthless human being, and all the vicious words it spoke immediately stuck in its throat, not daring to utter them.
The snake demon's aura grew weaker and weaker, and its screams could no longer be heard.
The fox demon broke down in tears, knowing what this meant, and began to beg for mercy again, "Immortal, kill me! Use my life to pay the price and spare my husband's life!"
Chu Yang shook his head and chuckled, "You don't deserve it! Enjoy your pain right now. I'll say it again, you deserve it."
The fox demon finally despaired completely.
A moment later, the snake demon's enormous body was reduced to a thin layer of skin. Seeing that the demon-eating gu had almost finished eating it, Chu Yang sucked it out.
The white surface of the Demon-Eating Gu turned blood red, and its size increased by a whole circle.
Chu Yang's face lit up with joy; the cultivation had likely been successful.
"Seeing how miserable you are, I'll take pity on you and send you to see your snake demon husband."
After saying that, Chu Yang threw the demon-eating gu onto the fox demon. She closed her eyes and willingly accepted her death.
No one cried out in pain throughout the entire process.
That proves the old saying true.
th.
Having eaten its fill, the Demon-Eating Gu fell into a deep sleep. Chu Yang carefully put it away, intending to ask Zhao Ling'er how to use it when he returned.
The Devouring Gu's instinct to devour monsters is instinctive, but its ability to replenish its cultivation and power requires human intervention.
In the corner, a small fox was staring fiercely at Chu Yang.
Chu Yang reached out and pulled it in, then used a forgetting spell to erase its memories. "I'll let you off this time since you're young and haven't harmed anyone yet, but who knows if you'll harm someone in the future."
"We need to take you away and find an opportunity to release you back into Mount Shu, where there are many demons."
The little fox disappeared and was placed by Chu Yang into the space of the Traceless Stretch Spell, a place where living things, such as some magical animals, could be stored.
After doing all that, Chu Yang wandered around and found some Forget-Soul Flowers, and also dug up snake gallbladders.
These are all good materials for alchemy. When you return to Mount Shu, you can ask fellow disciples who are skilled in alchemy for help.
"The world of fantasy is the best. You can level up by fighting monsters and get treasures by running dungeons."
Chu Yang left Hidden Dragon Cave satisfied.
Xu Changqing and Li Xiaoyao had been waiting outside with the kidnapped girl for a long time. Just as they were about to return to look for Chu Yang, they saw him stride out.
"Junior brother, have you encountered a snake demon?"
"Don't worry, I've already killed those two monsters."
"Two?!"
"There was a snake demon and a fox demon, but the fox demon was much weaker; it was just a matter of one sword strike."
Xu Changqing nodded with satisfaction, "Junior Brother's cultivation has improved again."
Chu Yang smiled and said, "Thanks to the teachings of Senior Mo and Senior Lin, and the battle just now, I made a breakthrough in the life-or-death situation and have reached the realm of refining essence into qi."
The realm division in the Legend of Sword and Fairy is very ancient and also very general, with only four levels.
Refining essence into qi, refining qi into spirit, refining spirit to return to emptiness, refining emptiness to unite with the Dao.
Among them, refining the spirit and returning to emptiness is called the realm of half-immortal, while refining emptiness and uniting with the Dao is the realm of true immortal on land.
Above that is ascension to the Immortal Realm.
Most of the top combatants in the human world are at the semi-immortal level, having achieved the state of refining spirit and returning to emptiness.
Ninety-nine percent of people get stuck at the first major hurdle, the "refining essence into qi" stage, which is also what Xu Changqing often mentions: "My junior brother hasn't mastered qi cultivation yet."
After successfully refining essence into qi, spiritual energy will be generated within the body. If a martial artist enters the Dao through martial arts, the spiritual energy will combine with internal force to form true essence, which can be considered a variant of spiritual energy.
It is worth noting that because the realm is general and there are only four levels, there can be huge differences in combat power among people of the same realm.
Xu Changqing was both surprised and delighted. He rushed to Chu Yang, placed a hand on him, and after a while, said softly, "He really has true essence."
"Junior brother, now that you've entered the Dao, your path will be smooth sailing from now on. The sect leader and elders will be very happy to know this!"
Xu Changqing excitedly squeezed Chu Yang's shoulder, overjoyed, his eyes sparkling.
Li Xiaoyao was also happy for Chu Yang. In fact, he had already condensed his true essence, but he didn't know whether he should say it or not, for fear that it would affect Chu Yang's mentality.
The three men led the girls down the mountain, and before long, the news spread like wildfire.
Many villagers came to claim their own daughters.
The sounds of crying and wailing from the reunion were deafening.
The villagers who had not found their families repeatedly came to Xu Changqing to ask questions, then stared blankly in the direction of the Hidden Dragon Cave.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoyao felt a pang of sorrow and growled in a low voice, "I should have been with Brother Chu. Only by killing those two monsters could I have vented my hatred!"
Xu Changqing patted him on the shoulder and sighed.
As time passed, most of the villagers had left, leaving only a lonely young girl.
Xu Changqing suggested, "The girl's family hasn't arrived yet, probably because they think she died in the demon's lair. Why don't we just send her home?"
Chu Yang looked at the girl, a playful smile on his lips. "No rush, let's wait a bit longer."
Xu Changqing was somewhat surprised, but still nodded in agreement.
My junior brother must have his reasons for saying that!
Not long after, an old man with a cane walked shakily from a distance.
"grandfather!"
The girl threw herself into the old man's arms and burst into tears.
Xu Changqing smiled, and was about to say something when a sword light shot into the sky beside him!
The heads of the grandfather and grandson were swept high into the air by the sword light.
Two pale faces were filled with astonishment.
Li Xiaoyao's eyes widened.
Xu Changqing looked at Chu Yang in utter horror!
Chapter 136 The Missing Zhao Ling'er [Requesting Monthly Tickets]
136.
"Junior brother, have you gone mad?!"
Xu Changqing was both shocked and furious. He drew his sword at Chu Yang, finding it hard to believe that his junior brother would do something so heinous.
"I know you are in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry yet!"
Chu Yang smacked his lips, flicked out a sword aura, and scraped off the faces of the grandfather and grandson, only to find another face beneath the skin.
"Human skin masks! These two are suspicious!"
Li Xiaoyao exclaimed in surprise, then stepped forward and lifted the faces of the two men, revealing the faces of two unfamiliar men, who appeared to be in their early twenties.
A crescent moon was staring at their foreheads!
Li Xiaoyao shouted, "Brother Xu, they are members of the Moon Worship Cult!"
Xu Changqing stepped forward to investigate, then turned around in surprise and asked, "Junior brother, how did you know?"
How do you know?
Of course, you should check the guide!
"Although my granddaughter appeared panicked, her breathing was very steady, like someone who practices martial arts. The old man was the same; he walked unsteadily, but his breathing was not disordered at all."
"I could tell at a glance that they weren't good people!"
Chu Yang said with certainty.
Li Xiaoyao scratched his head and asked, "What if I guess wrong?"
Chu Yang shrugged, "If I guessed wrong, I guessed wrong. What can I do?"
Xu Changqing's face turned ashen.
Li Xiaoyao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "Luckily, I wasn't wrong..."
Chu Yang said speechlessly, "More important than whether I guessed right is that the Moon Worship Cult is very close to us, and they already know our route of action!"
Li Xiaoyao was startled.
Xu Changqing fell into deep thought, his gaze solemn.
Chu Yang suggested, "Now that I have mastered Qi cultivation and Xiaoyao can fly on a sword, why don't we change our plans and go straight back to Mount Shu?"
Xu Changqing nodded, "This is the safest method. Once Brother Li formally becomes a disciple, we can openly and honestly fight against the Moon Worship Cult."
Li Xiaoyao was extremely excited. Joining the Shu Mountain Sect would mean he had one foot in the door of becoming a great hero.
This is his biggest dream in his life!
