Chapter 23: The More Battles, The Braver

  Among this group of Blood Yaksha, there are two leaders with a powerful aura. Their eyes are not blood-red like the others, but rather black and white, with a cunning glint that suggests they possess intelligence rivaling that of humans. They are formidable foes with both strength and wisdom.

  As soon as they saw Wang Qian and his party, they completely reacted and immediately issued a few short phonemes, like a mysterious language. The blood night demons around them suddenly let out a loud howl, and on the spot there were forty or fifty blood night demons, forming a formation similar to a battle array, rushing forward in big strides, arriving in front of them in the blink of an eye.

  "We've got no choice, let's all work together and get it over with quickly!"

  Zhou Qing's face looked unpleasant, but at this moment it was too late to get angry. He called out and shook the Qingyun sword in his hand, shooting out a sharp sword energy.

  Others also started killing each other.

  At this time, language is no longer needed, and all that's left is to exert all one's strength to fight for survival.

  Two Blood Night Yaksha let out a loud howl and charged towards Wang Qian, they covered each other, two pairs of sharp claws drew arc lines, the air was torn apart, emitting an ear-piercing sound, this is a situation that only occurs when power and speed reach an extreme.

  A pair of crimson claws, with ivory-white curved fingernails, about three inches long, like five sharp daggers, suddenly enveloped Wang Qian's upper body. In an instant, he felt his heart, throat, and eyeballs, all the weak points, turn cold in waves. Almost at the same time, his waist and below, each joint, and the nodes of his blood vessels, simultaneously felt a stinging pain. This was a spiritual warning, and before being attacked, Wang Qian had already sensed the consequences, indicating that his cultivation during this period had yielded quite good results.

  But now is a life-and-death struggle, obviously not the time to consider cultivation, can only be with the most direct, the strongest means, these demons will be annihilated.

  He let out a cold snort, took one step forward, and instead of dodging, he brought his body closer to the two yasha. He stretched out both hands in a claw-like shape, and his entire body crackled with energy, like a fully drawn bowstring. A faint, dark green aura flashed between his fingers.

  Bang, bang, two loud noises. Wang Qian's hands simultaneously intercepted the killing blows of the two Yaksha, and his strength was boundless, terrifying to the extreme. With a series of cracking sounds, the two Yaksha's hands were already completely shattered, their blood and bones scattered all over the ground. Seizing the opportunity, he took another step forward, his hands waving wildly, changing unpredictably, launching a fierce attack, and his palms pressed heavily on the chests of the two Yaksha.

  His current strength is enormous, and even he himself isn't quite clear about it. This time, with a full-force attack, the two yasha were utterly miserable, unable to even let out a mournful cry, as their internal organs were instantly shattered by his massive power, their life force draining away in an instant, their blood-red eyeballs gradually growing dim.

  It's a long story, but it all happened in the span of half a breath. As Wang Qian took two steps forward, his hands transformed into fists and palms, showcasing his combat skills with utmost clarity. His movements were swift and fleeting, like a flash of light, and his strikes were crisp and decisive to the extreme. If someone had been observing his battle process from the side, they wouldn't have even had time to react before the two Yaksha were thoroughly dead, their bodies reduced to mangled flesh.

  At this time, Wang Qian's heart moved slightly. With his spiritual realm, a probe below, he found something in the dantian of these two Blood Night Yaksha.

  He reached out and grabbed, and two blood-red beads appeared before him.

  "Huh? What is this? Not a hint of bloodiness, but instead it's emitting a refreshing fragrance, and there's a vital energy emanating from it. Could it be the essence of these yasha's life force? Similar to a cultivator's Golden Elixir?"

  With a sniff, he guessed that the Youming tribe's Blood Yaksha was already a higher form of life, far superior to creatures like the Magic Ape or Double-Headed Magic Snake. They had already learned how to cultivate their bodies, and as a result, they could refine a substance called Youming Blood Dan within themselves. This was the essence of their lives, and it could be directly used to concoct pills.

  Wang Gan, relying on his robust physique and immunity to poison, swallowed the thing directly without hesitation. Immediately, he felt a massive surge of life energy boiling up inside him.

  He operated the magic formula, and in the blink of an eye, he completely merged these vital energies into his own body. Immediately, he felt that his cultivation had made some progress. Only then did he realize that this Blood Night Demon's body actually contained such a treasure, which was extremely helpful for his cultivation.

  His heart was stirred, his moves became even more ruthless and sharp. His bitter sea seal, which had been constantly cultivated during this period, had developed into a very powerful killing technique. This time, testing it on Yecha's body, it was even more formidable.

  He took a stride, directly arriving in front of a Yaksha, his hands forming a seal, a faint blue glow circulating within them, forming a large seal, which collided with the Yaksha's body with a loud crash, instantly shattering its skeleton and completely pulverizing its internal organs, dying an irreparable death.

  Wang Qian completely burst out with combat power, every punch and kick had boundless great strength, not a single Blood Night Yaksha could withstand his one blow without dying, all were beaten to have no power to fight back.

  Every time he killed a Yaksha, Wang Qian would take out the beads from their Dantian and swallow them directly. One or two didn't make a difference, but when he had killed nearly twenty Yakshas, he finally felt the change in his body.

  A majestic and powerful life energy burst out from his body, extremely pure and abundant. As he operated the technique, a considerable amount of cyan divine power was refined and stored in the Sea of Suffering. This achievement was comparable to what he could accomplish by absorbing and expelling the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for an entire month, leaving him overjoyed.

  A single drop of Yuanyang Blood Dan contains the essence of spiritual energy, which is enough to rival a hundred True Yuan Dans, and is even more refined than True Yuan Dans. This effect made Wang Qian want to laugh out loud with joy, this discovery was simply a blessing for him.

  "It seems that the more Blood Nightmares there are, the better. As long as I have enough Blood Nightmares, I can obtain these pearls endlessly, which is much faster than cultivating my own spiritual energy to increase my cultivation."

  Turning around, the others were pale and greatly exhausted, while Wang Qian himself was getting more courageous in battle, his body bursting with energy, his physical body gradually improving, and killing the Blood Night Demons even faster.

  In the battle, Wang Qian occasionally reinforced Zhou Qing and others. His hands were fast and ruthless, and suddenly a strange scene appeared on the field. A cyan phantom, like a ghost or a demon, flickered constantly, with continuous air explosion sounds coming one after another. More than 50 night demons that had approached them were killed in less than half a moment.

  Not only were Zhou Qing and the others shocked, but also Wang Hai and his group who were fighting fiercely not far away, after seeing this scene, they all gasped in shock, their eyes wide with astonishment.

  "Junior brother, you!"

  Zhou Qing was even more shocked and couldn't help but think, could it be that Wang Qian's current strength is actually stronger than his own First Heaven Great Perfection?

  When he saw Wang Qian's method of killing the Blood Yaksha, as if slaughtering a chicken, this thought emerged in his mind, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that things might be so. For a moment, his emotions fluctuated, and he didn't know how to think.

  "Senior brother, what are you still stunned for? These Blood Nightmares are treasures. In their Dan Tian, there is a kind of blood dan that contains enormous life essence, far surpassing the True Yuan Dan. Hurry up and collect some, first swallow and refine them to replenish your depleted energy!"

  But Wang Qian saw several people with a dull expression and couldn't help but remind them.

  "What? Younger brother, you're talking about the Ghostly Blood Pellet? How is that possible? Although it contains a vast amount of spiritual energy, it can't be refined casually. That's the culmination of the Blood Night Yaksha's lifelong cultivation, with their soul imprint on it. Unless it's refined into a medicinal pellet, swallowing it would lead to madness!"

  Zhou Qing's face changed greatly, and he hastily said that before coming to the underground, he had studied a lot of materials and had a deep understanding of the Youming clan. How could he not know about the Youming Blood Dan in Xue Ye Cha's body? He didn't expect Wang Qian to swallow it directly, and was suddenly frightened.

  Wang Gan was also stunned when he heard the words. He had swallowed those blood pills and only felt that the essence of life inside was vast, but as for going crazy, it was completely not a problem. After careful consideration, he finally figured out where the issue lay. However, that bit of soul imprinting might be a big trouble for people like Zhou Qing with similar cultivation and soul realms, but for him, it was nothing. With his foundation's great perfection in the soul realm, he could crush those soul fragments into powder.

  However, this situation cannot be said, and it is vague to pass by, saying that there is nothing wrong with oneself. Zhou Qing and others found that he was not seriously injured, so they did not mention it again. However, they still took out all the ghostly blood balls from the body of the dead Blood Night Yaksha.

  That Raksha leader, seeing his own men surround Wang Qian and the others, in less than a moment, they were all dead. His face changed greatly, and he let out a fierce howl, then led another group of Rakshas to charge over.

  At this time, because Zhou Qing and others dispersed the blood night demon's forces, Wang Hai and his group were no longer so hard-pressed. On the contrary, they exerted their divine might, killing a large number of blood night demons around them. The ones surrounding them originally had more than 100 heads, but the leader of the blood night demons took away a team to attack Wang Qian and others, which allowed Wang Hai to gain an advantage. Gradually gaining the upper hand, one by one, the night demons died at their hands. As they continued to fight, it was likely that they would break out of the encirclement before long, and even completely annihilate those night demons.

  "Senior brother, all of you form a defensive array first and don't disperse. I'll go take care of those two Night Goblin leaders!"

  Just as Wang Gan was about to make a move, he suddenly discovered that the two Night Demon leaders who were originally watching from outside the battlefield were charging towards them with dozens of ordinary Blood Night Demons. This force was not to be underestimated, and he couldn't kill all these creatures at once. He could only capture the leader first, so he let out a loud shout and charged out on his horse.

  Zhou Qing and the others didn't slack off either. The intense battle just now had taken a toll on them, their true yuan was insufficient, and they really didn't dare to act rashly. Therefore, the six of them combined together, instantly forming an ordinary six-element formation. It could be said that they were not seeking to achieve anything, but rather seeking to avoid mistakes.

  Wang Qian saw that they were not in immediate danger, so he finally relaxed, let out a loud shout, and his body moved swiftly, like a green light blade, and in the blink of an eye, he killed his way to the front of the Yaksha leader.

  Bang!

  With a slap, the leader of the Yaksha's eyes flashed with a sharp light, his hands moved, and he actually displayed exquisite martial arts, blocking his attack in an impossible way.

  Wang Gan's speed was so fast that it was invisible to the naked eye, but this Night Demon leader could block him, showing that the leader and ordinary Night Demons were vastly different.

  A loud noise, Wang Qian felt his palm cut on a sharp dagger, the center of his palm was slightly painful, this was also his first time since entering the underground killing.

  "Hmm? The leader of the Night Demons is indeed formidable, far surpassing even the Heaven's Chosen with their innate Great Circle of Completion."

  He made a judgment in an instant, turned around and saw that another Yaksha leader was about to kill Zhou Qing and the others. With a cold hum, his body rose into the air, piercing through the air with a speed like a phantom, and fiercely swept one leg past, intercepting this Yaksha leader as well.

  He thus fought two with one.
