Chapter 98 Killing the Demon
Chapter 98 Killing the Demon
After Chen Yuan left the forest, he entered a plain.
It is a desolate place with red gravel all over the ground and no grass growing.
According to the map, this place was a spiritual medicine garden thousands of years ago, full of spiritual energy.
After tens of thousands of years, the place has completely changed. The spiritual energy is thin, there is no vitality, and it is dead silent.
And this is exactly the reason why Chen Yuan chose this route. The thinner the spiritual energy, the fewer spiritual herbs and monsters there are, and the smaller the obstacles he will encounter.
He had his own plans for this trip to the secret realm. He needed to enter the inner ring as soon as possible and not stay in the outer ring for too long.
The other three sides of the forest were densely populated with spiritual herbs and there were many disciples from various sects. Chen Yuan did not get entangled with them.
But Chen Yuan was not the only smart person. As soon as he walked out of the forest, he met a disciple from the Styx Valley who also came out of the forest.
This person was also heading north. Since the red plain had a wide view, he and Chen Yuan spotted each other as soon as they came out of the forest.
Chen Yuan immediately stopped, took out his magic weapon, and put on a defensive posture.
The disciple from the Styx Valley also had a solemn look on his face. He took out a flag that exuded a strong yin energy and stopped where he was.
The two men were separated by a hundred feet and faced each other for a while, neither giving in.
A hundred feet is not a very long distance. Using the light body technique, they can reach the destination in a moment. If one of them intends to attack, the other will have no way to avoid it.
The two men faced each other for half a quarter of an hour. The wind howled over the red plain, making their robes rustle, and the atmosphere became increasingly solemn.
If we delay any longer, we will most likely be seen by disciples from other sects.
Chen Yuan's mind changed, and he stepped back, but his eyes were always on this person.
The disciples of the Styx Valley saw Chen Yuan's actions, understood what he meant, and retreated, while remaining alert and ready to meet the enemy at any time.
The two of them slowly distanced themselves from each other until the figure of the Styx Valley disciple disappeared behind a mound. Chen Yuan felt relieved, used the light body technique, and continued to run towards the north.
He needed to enter the inner circle as soon as possible and didn't want to fight with others for no reason and waste time, so he made a concession.
He was somewhat confident that the disciples of the Styx Valley would also choose to back down.
At this time, the disciples of various sects had just entered the secret realm and had not gained much. Even if they won the fight, they would not be able to snatch many spiritual herbs.
Sure enough, the disciples of the Styx Valley made the same choice as him, thus eliminating the fight without any trace.
……
After avoiding the fight, Chen Yuan hurried on his way. The secret realm would only be open for seven days, and according to the route he had planned, it would take two days just to enter the inner ring, so he could not waste time on the road.
In fact, he had a map in his hand and could find a shorter route.
But in order to avoid the groups of monsters, Chen Yuan could only go far away.
There are monsters everywhere in Dongxu Mountain, some of which are in groups.
The individual strength of these monsters is not strong, but when they unite, they are more powerful than Qi-refining cultivators can resist.
As soon as the monsters encounter Chen Yuan, they will go crazy. He can still deal with one or two monsters, but if they come in a group, he will be powerless.
Therefore, he carefully planned this route, which could not only avoid hordes of monsters but also take a relatively short time, allowing him to have ample time to complete his plans after entering the inner ring of the secret realm.
……
Chen Yuan ran on the red plain for half an hour, but still could not see the end.
Suddenly, a river appeared in front of them, running across the red plain. It was about tens of feet wide, and the water was turbid and red, flowing quietly.
There was no grass growing by the river, and it was completely different from the lively appearance of ordinary river banks.
In the jade map issued by Lingyun Sect, this river is called "Chisha River".
There are many first-level monsters lurking in the Chisha River, which is the only obstacle for Chen Yuan to pass through the red plain.
He slowed down his pace, stroked his storage bag, took out the flying boat, the Chixiao Sword and the Dingguang Mirror, made preparations, and drove the flying boat to the other side.
There is a no-fly ban in the secret realm, so Chen Yuan didn't dare to fly too high, only thirty feet above the ground.
Just as the flying boat reached above the river, the water below suddenly began to ripple, and a monster emerged from the river, floating up and down.
This is a first-level high-level crab monster, three meters in size, with a dark blue shell and two pitch-black eyes that were staring at Chen Yuan with a red color.
Boom!
The crab monster's claws opened and closed unsteadily, and suddenly it opened its mouth and spurted out a stream of red water towards the flying boat!
Chen Yuan became alert after the crab monster appeared. When he saw it attacking, he threw the Dingguang Realm in his hand forward and raised his hand to make a hand gesture.
A beam of white light shot out from the mirror and headed towards the red water column.
Zizi!
When the two collided, the white light column was obviously more powerful, and the water column dissipated and turned into a red rain, falling into the river.
The crab monster was furious and stopped spraying water. It stared at Chen Yuan and swam towards the shore, intending to catch up with the flying boat.
Chen Yuan sneered and ignored the crab monster. He activated his magic power and the flying boat increased its speed. It crossed the river, reached the other side, and landed on the ground.
Chen Yuan put away the flying boat, and the crab monster also came to the shore, rushing forward and pouncing on Chen Yuan. The crab's claws could not open or close, and it seemed extremely excited.
Chen Yuan raised his hand and threw out the Chixiao Sword, pointed his finger and shouted:
"cut!"
The body of the Chixiao Sword immediately ignited with blazing flames, like a stream of fire falling from the sky, shooting towards the crab monster. This sword was extremely powerful, with blazing flames and clanging sword sounds.
The crab monster is intelligent and would not have resisted under normal circumstances.
But at this moment, he only had Chen Yuan in his eyes, and ignored the Chixiao Sword. He just raised one crab claw and tried to block it.
But the flame on the Chixiao Sword can burn the best magic weapons and is extremely domineering. Why would it be afraid of the claws of a crab monster of this level?
The Chixiao sword slashed on the crab claw, and a raging fire suddenly rose, burning through the crab claw shell, revealing the tender white crab meat inside. The sword turned and cut off the crab claw.
"Fizz!"
Under the severe pain, the crab monster woke up as if from a dream, let out a strange scream, and the red color in its eyes faded a little, and it hurriedly moved to the side.
But Chen Yuan took advantage of the situation and did not show any mercy. He changed the magic formula in his hand and the fixed light mirror emitted a white beam of light, which penetrated dozens of feet in a moment and shone on the crab monster.
The Fixed Light Mirror can not only fix magical weapons, but also monsters and human bodies. When the crab monster was illuminated by the white light, its body froze and demonic energy surged on its body before it broke free.
But at this moment, the flame on the Chixiao Sword became blazing and it slashed over again.
The crab monster hastily sprayed out a stream of water in an attempt to extinguish the flames.
Chen Yuan activated his magic power and the fixed light mirror shot out a second white beam of light, which defeated the water column.
The crab monster had no strength to resist anymore. The Chixiao Sword slashed down, and the flame burned through the shell. The sword followed closely and pierced deeply into the crab monster's vitals.
The crab monster spat out a stream of blue blood, and the madness in its eyes disappeared completely, but it was too late.
It rolled to the ground, flapped its wings a few times, and gradually became silent.
Chen Yuan smiled slightly, tapped his feet, and came to the front of the crab monster in a few steps.
This monster has lost its mind and is easy to kill.
Legend has it that in the ancient world of immortal cultivation there was a magical herb called the Demon-Luring Grass, which could make monsters lose their minds. Many cultivators used it to hunt monsters.
Chen Yuan can be called a human-shaped monster-luring grass, and it is extremely easy for him to hunt monsters.
He made a hand gesture and the flame of the Chixiao Sword was suppressed. Amid the aroma of barbecue, the flying sword danced, peeling off the crab monster's claws and shell and putting them into the storage bag.
Then, he condensed a fireball, intending to burn the crab monster's body to ashes.
But at this moment, he paused, raised his hand and threw out a fireball, then turned around and looked into the distance.
On the northern plain, a cultivator was galloping towards this side. When he saw Chen Yuan turning his head, he couldn't help but slow down, with a look of surprise on his face.
This man was wearing the standard robes of Guiyuan Sect. He had a rat-like face and a mean appearance, with a pair of flickering green eyes.
Chen Yuan stroked his storage bag and took out the Chixiao Sword and Dingguang Mirror that he had just put away, with a stern expression.
This person came running towards us silently, definitely intending to launch a surprise attack.
But his spiritual awareness was powerful and cautious, and he spread out from time to time, so he could detect the man's tracks from a distance of more than fifty feet.
If the distance was closer, this person would probably have succeeded.
This Guiyuan Sect disciple had never expected that Chen Yuan could sense his presence even from such a long distance.
But he took a look at the crab monster's corpse that was gradually burned to ashes in the flames, grinned grimly, and continued to run towards Chen Yuan. At the same time, he took out a jade ruler, transformed it into three ruler shadows, and attacked Chen Yuan.
"Daoyou, it must have consumed a lot of energy to kill this high-level monster. I will send you off right away!"
He had just crossed the Chisha River not long ago and heard the sound of a fight. He turned around and saw Chen Yuan killing the crab monster. He became greedy.
Unfortunately, he did not see the process of Chen Yuan killing the crab monster. He only saw that the crab monster was full of demonic energy, close to a level two monster. He guessed that Chen Yuan must have experienced a tough battle, so he took action so boldly.
Although Chen Yuan didn't want to fight with others for no reason, he was not afraid of other disciples except Qin Xuanning, Dai Qing, Zhong Mianye and a few others.
He immediately raised his hand and made a gesture, and the fixed light mirror released three white light beams, covering the three foot-long shadows.
The two ruler shadows burst like bubbles, and the real body of the jade ruler was fixed in the air, unable to move.
The spell in Chen Yuan's hand changed and he shouted:
"cut!"
The Chixiao Sword burst into flames and shot out.
At the same time, he stroked the storage bag, his palm loosened slightly, and a faint purple light flashed by.
The disciples of Guiyuan Sect were naturally much more rational than the crab monster. They quickly took out a jade bowl magic weapon, which emitted a bright light and headed towards the Chixiao Sword.
This jade bowl is a top-grade magic weapon. It glows brightly and radiates a strong light. Under the burning fire of the Scarlet Sky Sword, it just melts slowly.
The Guiyuan Sect disciple felt a little relieved, but at this moment, a stream of purple light suddenly flew up from the ground and pierced into his throat in the blink of an eye!
"Ho ho..."
His eyes bulged, his mouth opened and closed twice, and he fell softly to the ground. The jade ruler and jade bowl dimmed and fell to the ground.
Chen Yuan withdrew his magic power, and the flames on the Chixiao Sword subsided, without burning the jade bowl.
He stepped forward and quickly came in front of the man, took his storage bag, put away the five magic weapons, condensed a fireball, burned the body of the Guiyuan Sect disciple to ashes, and quickly ran away.
Thanks to EricEWSC for the tip!
Due to the busy schedule during this period, the update time is a bit chaotic, but it will return to normal in a few days.
