Chapter 410: Violet Star Mountains
Translator: jinzeffect
As one of the three major mountain ranges of the Violet Flower Kingdom, the Violet Star Mountains stretched around close to a hundred cities.
The closest city to the South Forest Martial Institution was a city called Dried Wood City.
On this day, a group of five rode their class 4 Unicorn Wildebeests and entered Dried Wood City.
After placing the Unicorn Wildebeests by an inn, the five traveled nonstop towards the Violet Star Mountains.
When they traveled across close to a thousand miles, the five had finally arrived at the Violet Star Mountains.
Due to the special environment of the Violet Star Mountains, the soil, rocks, and even plants were slightly purple in color, making the entire place rather abstruse.
“The outer region of the Violet Star Mountains rarely has class 6 demonic beasts, but everyone still has to be careful.” An Xinmei took a deep breath and said.
Du Qing smiled, “With Senior Zhao around, even if a class 5 mutated demonic beast appears, we will still be able to fight it.”
Class 5 mutated demonic beasts were far superior to the class 5 demonic beasts. Even regular 9th level Reincarnation Realm martial artists would be instantly killed by class 5 mutated demonic beasts.
Unknowingly, the five entered the depths of the Violet Star Mountains’ outer region.
Along the way, class 5 demonic beasts constantly launched sneak attacks on them.
It was a pity that even the weakest among the five, Du Qing and An Xinmei were able to fight against class 5 high-tier demonic beasts. Regular class 5 low-tier demonic beasts would be instantly slaughtered before they could even get near. Only the class 5 mid-tier demonic beasts who had thicker flesh were able to resist more attacks, but if the duo worked together, they still couldn’t escape the fate of instant death.
Rumble!
When passing through a marsh, a giant python that was close to 1000 feet long had emerged. The chilly demonic qi was like a whirlwind that swept out in all directions, it was also accompanied by a bright water pillar that was several meters in radius.
“Be careful.” An Xinmei dodged to the side.
Li Fuchen and others quickly evaded too.
Bang!
The ground shook as a bright and unstoppable water pillar forcefully punctured a hole in the ground that was a few meters in radius, leaving behind a huge cavity of darkness.
If this water pillar hit someone, even Zhao Han would have fallen.
Everyone concentrated their eyes on the giant python.
“It is the class 5 peak-tier Venomous Swamp Python. Du Qing said while having a lingering fear in his heart.
Class 5 peak-tier demonic beasts were actually considered as class 5 high-tier demonic beasts too, but they were the pinnacle existence of class 5 demonic beasts. They were capable enough to kill regular 9th level Reincarnation Realm martial artists.
“You humans shall become my food!” The Venomous Swamp Python spoke with human language and was extremely sinister.
Demonic beasts might be prey for humans, but it was the same in reverse.
The Violet Star Mountains’ vicinity had close to 100 cities. Countless martial artists would venture into the Violet Star Mountains on a daily basis. Those with strength and luck wouldn’t just survive and return to their cities, they would also profit greatly. But there were plenty of people who fell in the mountains and turned into food for the demonic beasts.
“Do you think you are capable enough? Die!”
Liang Tianyu sneered with disdain and swung his bronze rod at the Venomous Swamp Python with ferocity.
Clang!
A rod shadow that was a few hundred feet long assaulted the Venomous Swamp Python head, causing a burst of metallic sounds.
The Venomous Swamp Python shook its head a little and was undamaged.
“What?” Liang Tianyu’s eyes shrank.
Last year, he had already activated the nimble wind power and he wasn’t any inferior to Shao Kang and was actually comparable to regular 9th level Reincarnation Realm martial artist.
“My full-powered attack couldn’t even break the skin of the Venomous Swamp Python. Isn’t this python’s defenses too tough?!” Liang Tianyu thought in his mind.
Zhao Han said indifferently, “Demonic beasts have innately tough defenses. When the strength level is roughly the same, a few martial artists would be required to defeat a demonic beast. Your metal rod is considered a blunt weapon, it is normal that you cannot harm the Venomous Swamp Python.”
Li Fuchen nodded. Unless one was one level stronger than the demonic beast, it was extremely hard to hunt and kill the demonic beast.
“It is rare for all of you to have the chance to combat against class 5 demonic beasts. Use this Venomous Swamp Python as a practice! I shall not be making a move.” Zhao Han took a step back and stood with his hands behind his back.
“Alright, if we work together, taking it down shouldn’t be a problem.”
An Xinmei’s weapon was a slender saber while Du Qing’s weapons was a sword. When the saber and sword moved in coordination, the Venomous Swamp Python’s body was left with some wounds.
“Are you not making a move?” Zhao Han looked at Li Fuchen.
Li Fuchen replied, “If I make a move, it would become meaningless.”
“Is that so?” Zhao Han sneered and didn’t say anything else.
“Damned humans, you’ve made me feel pain!”
The Venomous Swamp Python had a massive body and no matter how it evaded it was unable to dodge the trio’s attacks.
The python raised its enraged head and shot a bright water pillar at Liang Tianyu.
Liang Tianyu wasn’t able to blast open the Venomous Swamp Python’s defenses, but he was confident in resisting the attack of the Venomous Swamp Python.
“Split open!”
Wielding the bronze rod with both hands, Liang Tianyu swung his rod at the water pillar.
Boom!
Liang Tianyu’s entire body was sent flying and the venomous water current sprayed on his qi protection. There was a sizzling sound and black smoke.
“Golden Wind Drizzle!”
“Origin Return Sword!”
Seeing that Liang Tianyu had drawn the Venomous Swamp Python’s attention, An Xinmei skimmed behind the python’s head and brandished her saber. In a flash, the slender saber shadow sliced opened the python’s scales and was one foot deep. Du Qing reacted quickly and stabbed his sword at the wound, there was a flash of white light as the wound expanded by a few times and was reached in deeper by over ten feet.
The duo’s coordinated attack had dealt a severe injury to the Swamp Venomous Python.
“Ahh, damn it. You actually dare to hurt me!”
The python went berserk and shrunk its body until it was just a few tens of feet tall. But the demonic qi didn’t decrease and had increased instead. It produced a giant spiral that sucked An Xinmei and Du Qing inside.
“Are you still not going to make a move?”
Liang Tianyu glared at Li Fuchen and rapidly flew in front. He swung his rod at the spiral-shaped demonic qi and wanted to split open the demonic qi.
But the demonic qi was too powerful, Liang Tianyu had split open layers after layers and wasn’t able to split it open in a single attack.
Li Fuchen shook his head. The trip had too little experience with demonic beasts combat, thus, this battle was actually training for them. Li Fuchen wanted to make a move later, but it looked like his plan was thwarted.
Li Fuchen soared into the sky as he rapidly approached the spiral-shaped demonic qi and blasted a fist at it.
The elephant’s trumpet and the tiger’s growl echoed at the same time. A giant elephant spirit and the fierce tiger spirit emerged, with the fist force from the Tiger Soul Fist, the spiral-shaped demonic qi stagnated for a moment before scattering.
Liang Tianyu’s rod shadow finally penetrated the demonic qi and blasted on the python’s body and sent it flying over a few tens of meters away.
It was fortunate that the python had shrunk in size, otherwise, this rod attack would only make it waver for a little.
“All of you are going to die!”
The Venomous Swamp Python continued to burst out with demonic qi and the demonic qi obviously contained extreme venom. Once the demonic qi made contact with their qi protection, sizzling sounds corrosion could be heard. If there was prolonged contact, their qi protection would be entirely corroded.
Sizzle Sizzle Sizzle…
At this same moment, the python spat out bright water pillars. As compared to the previous water pillars, the bright water pillars that were shot out now were only as thick as two fingers. The power was slightly weaker but it was harder to defend and it was much faster.
Li Fuchen didn’t have the intention to waste any time. He drew his Scarlet Blood Sword and with a flash, he appeared beside the python. There was a burst of green sword light that was like a ray of radiant sunlight.
Pfff!
The Venomous Swamp Python’s head flew and there was a pillar of blood.
In terms of qi cultivation strength, with the utilization of Li Fuchen’s sword art, he was already a regular 9th level Reincarnation Realm. Furthermore, this was before he activated his blazing fire power.
But in close combat, the power of Li Fuchen’s sword art had exceeded the regular 9th level Reincarnation Realm.
With the support of the dragon elephant power, this sword power had enhanced the Green Sun Sword Intent by at least two times.
“Instant kill with a single sword move?” Du Qing gasped for cold air.
Liang Tianyu’s expression wasn’t pleasant either as he realized that he had underestimated Li Fuchen.
Only An Xinmei kept her cool. Since Li Fuchen was able to defeat Shao Kang without using his sword, it was obvious that he would be stronger with his sword.
“No wonder he can be this arrogant.” Zhao Han’s squinted his eyes.
He believed that his all-out attack would only achieve this result too. But Li Fuchen was only able to execute this absolute sword attack in close combat, while he was able to execute such strength even in a long-distance attack.
Once the Venomous Swamp Python perished, its body instantly enlarged and the near 1000 feet body continued snaking out for a long time.
Extending out his awareness, Li Fuchen started to scan the python’s body.
“Mm, demon core?” Li Fuchen’s face flashed with delight.
Pfff!
With a single sword, Li Fuchen drew across the python’s body and extracted a fist-sized demon core that had bright colors.
Class 5 peak-tier demonic beasts’ demon cores were worth 700 or 800 low-grade spirit stones, and it was already a generous amount.
But everyone had already agreed that all rewards would be distributed according to work. Li Fuchen might have done most of the work, but An Xinmei, Liang Tianyu, and Du Qing had done work too. Hence, he could only have half the share of the 700 or 800 low-grade spirit stones.
“Class 5 peak-tier demon core. Our luck is really good!” An Xinmei revealed a smile.
Along the way, they had already obtained plenty of demon cores, but they didn’t obtain a single class 5 high-tier demon core yet, let alone class 5 peak-tier demon core.
After retrieving the demon core, Li Fuchen started to extract the Venomous Swamp Python essence blood.
When they killed the class 5 demonic beasts earlier, Li Fuchen would extract all their essence blood. After adding everything, he had already extracted close to 200 drops.
…
The Violet Star Mountains had indescribable danger. For the next few days of explorations, the five had witnessed plenty of human skeletons. Some had been gnawed on by demonic beasts, some seemed to have died due to other humans as their bones had marks of saber and sword slashes. But most of them were mostly consumed by demonic beasts as demonic beasts never swallow a human entirely and would crush down with their jaws once or twice.
“There is a sneak attack.”
When passing through a small valley, Li Fuchen was alerted and had informed the other four.
Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish…
Sharp air-piercing sounds echoed one after the other as long spears that were filled with power were shot at the five with lightning speed.
Crackle!
Li Fuchen wielded his sword and severed five long spears.
An Xinmei’s saber flashed and had also split open three spears.
The most incredible person was Zhao Han. He had only struck out a single palm strike and used the powerful chilling qi to freeze seven spears.
The five looked up and saw there were 20 over spear wielders standing on both sides of the valley. Every single one of them didn’t have friendly expressions.
“I am afraid we have encountered a dark hunter group.” An Xinmei spoke with a soft voice.
Dark hunter groups hunted demonic beasts and also humans. They were generally active in large-scale mountains. The Violet Star Mountains was one of the three major mountain ranges of the Violet Flower Kingdom, even if there weren’t a hundred dark hunter groups, there would be at least eighty. One of the larger dark hunter groups had a hundred members and was enough to bring terror to people just by their news.
Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish Swish…
The long spears rained down again, this time, the numbers were twice as many. It seemed like everyone had shot out two spears.
Soaring into the sky, Li Fuchen brandished his sword and shot out with thousands of sword lights.
Rumbl!
The cliffs collapsed while shards of rocks flew in all directions. Li Fuchen sword slash didn’t just destroy half the spears, he had also killed three of the dark hunters.
