The Yellow-Robed Monster stood in the void, gripping his knife. His yellow robe fluttered in the night wind, his thick yellow beard trembled, and his eyes flickered with a strange light.
The three words "Kui Mulang" that Jiang Liu had just blurted out had thrown his mind into turmoil.
For eight years, he had been extremely careful, not daring to reveal the slightest clue. Now, to be called out by a stranger was enough to make him uneasy.
Who exactly are you?
Jiang Liu coldly stared at the Yellow-Robed Monster and said, "Yellow-Robed Monster... no, I should call you Kui Mulang Li Xiong! If you really want to fight, I'm not afraid of you!"
"Really?" The yellow-robed monster's face was icy cold, devoid of any expression. He pointed his snow-white broadsword at Jiang Liu, his voice as cold as ice: "Now that you know my origins, I can no longer let you leave. Today, it's either you or me who dies!"
"If you want to fight, then fight! Come on!" Jiang Liu was also furious. He had just been chased by Xu Yi and returned in a sorry state. Even his two clones and the treasure "Death Star" were left in the void turbulence, their fates unknown.
Now that the Yellow Robe Monster has delivered himself to Jiang Liu's doorstep and is pressing him relentlessly, Jiang Liu clenched his fists instantly, and a murderous intent flashed in his eyes.
Faced with the Yellow Robe Monster's fierce killing move, Jiang Liu instantly stretched out his hands, and two vortexes suddenly appeared, stirring up the air currents and causing the night wind to howl.
The Transformation Technique: The Great Millstone of Heaven and Earth!
He struck out with both hands simultaneously, creating two millstones that could grind everything in their path. As they spun, the power of the five elements condensed, aiming to grind everything they encountered into nothingness.
Faced with such supernatural power, the Yellow-Robed Monster dared not be careless.
With a single slash, he blocked the grinding of a millstone, while his left hand adopted a grappling technique. The movement was quite bizarre and peculiar. His little finger and thumb curled up and pinched together, while the remaining three fingers bent, looking like animal claws, directly grabbing at Jiang Liu.
As a wolf demon, this move is its killing blow. Although it looks like just a beast's claw, it can completely tear a person's soul apart. It is made by condensing the power of the Western White Tiger and is called the White Tiger Kill.
Kui Su Star Power's White Tiger Kill!
Facing Jiang Liu's two transformation techniques, the "Heaven and Earth Millstone" technique, the Yellow-Robed Monster calmly slashed out with his sword and extended a claw.
The blade collided with the "Transformation Technique," tearing apart the vortex that crushed everything. The two were frozen in mid-air, neither able to gain the upper hand. Meanwhile, the left hand's claw had already conjured a ferocious and monstrous illusion of a white tiger, accompanied by a deafening roar that sent shivers down one's spine, giving it the upper hand.
"boom!"
After a brief encounter, Jiang Liu and the Yellow-Robed Monster retreated several feet at the same time, and the boulder hill beneath their feet collapsed with a crash.
"Western White Tiger, what skill!" Jiang Liu's hands hung at his sides, his clothes were torn open, revealing three scratches on his skin. He had narrowly escaped being disemboweled.
The Yellow-Robed Monster was not faring well; his yellow robe, though a magical artifact, was being torn apart inch by inch.
Chapter 250 Finished and Back to Work
The rocky mountain suddenly collapsed, and the sound of its collapse echoed for miles through the night sky.
The python demon, which had fled several miles away and was watching the fire from across the river on another rocky mountain, instantly had the urge to escape again.
"Too strong, absolutely too strong! One finger could crush me. I can't stay here any longer..." The python demon raised the two large axes in front of it, then looked west and then east, muttering to itself, "White Tiger Ridge is no good. Who knows what powerful demon is entrenched there? For over a decade, no human or demon has ever returned from entering. Should I go and seek refuge with the Dragon-Suppressing Cave on Dragon-Suppressing Mountain? Those foxes are incredibly powerful. If I go there, I'll only become a minor demon, not even a leader... I'm used to living freely here. Am I going to be bossed around by those foxes? Forget it! Forget it! Survival is the priority... I'll go to Dragon-Suppressing Mountain!"
With this thought in mind, the python demon glanced at the battlefield again, then turned around, transformed into a giant python, and snaked westward.
White Tiger Ridge and Dragon-Suppressing Mountain, one to the east and the other to the west of Baoxiang Kingdom, are both forbidden areas that neither the Baoxiang Kingdom's army nor any cultivators dare to approach. White Tiger Ridge is somewhat better; as long as one doesn't venture too far in, one is safe. Dragon-Suppressing Mountain, however, has plagued Baoxiang Kingdom for centuries. The fox demons who have achieved mastery there transform into beautiful women and enter Baoxiang Kingdom to seduce strong young men, sucking their blood to aid their cultivation.
According to statistics, no fewer than 10,000 people are harmed by fox spirits every year.
Fortunately, the fox demon knew to restrain itself and only sucked blood no more than three times. Although the person being sucked would suffer a great loss of essence and blood, losing at least ten years of lifespan, at least their life would not be in danger.
According to the historical records of Baoxiang Kingdom, the fox demons of Yalong Mountain existed since the founding of the kingdom and had cultivated there for countless years. Among them, the master of Yalong Cave, the fox demon mother, was known as the Nine-Tailed Fox.
Over the past century, countless cultivators have gone to exorcise demons, only to return defeated, some even perishing and their cultivation dissipating.
One in the east, one in the west, two demonic lands, infamous for their ferocity. Since the appearance of the Yellow Robe Monster eight years ago, who occupied the Wave Moon Cave on Bowl Mountain, a three-way power struggle has been formed.
The Yellow Robe Monster, however, did not harm the human race. He was devoted to his love affair with Baihua Xiu and raising their two sons. He was a good demon.
At this moment, under Jiang Liu's attack, the demon was forced to retreat more than ten feet, and his yellow robe was torn, revealing his skin as tough as steel.
A fist-shaped mark appeared on his chest, clearly visible, and around it were countless tiny cracks.
"That was close! That was close! If it had been just a hair's breadth away, my physical body would have been destroyed. Even though the yellow-robed monster blocked most of the attack, he was still injured like this... This punch shows an unfathomable understanding of the rules!" The yellow-robed monster looked at the fist mark on his chest, extremely shocked.
Under Jiang Liu's gaze, the yellow-robed monster spat out an inner core, the size of an egg, gleaming with a soft glow. He rolled it over the wound, and the injury healed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
"Is this the exquisite inner core described in the book? It has healing effects!" Jiang Liu thought to himself. Even if the yellow-robed monster recovered completely, he was not afraid.
In their brief exchange, Jiang Liu first used the "Transformation" technique's "Heaven and Earth Millstone," then switched to the "Shattering" technique, delivering a punch at the cost of physical injury. Had it not been for the yellow robe protecting him, he would have been severely injured long ago.
Now, this protective yellow robe is destroyed.
Jiang Liu stretched his limbs, his joints cracking like firecrackers. He grinned maliciously and walked towards the yellow-robed monster, sneering, "Kui Mulang, you've met your match today, huh... You have a knife, but I have no weapon? Bring me your sword!"
Sword, come!
In an instant, the five sword pellets leaped into the air, and then with a flick, they transformed into five flying swords.
The sword is divided into five elements, hence the name Five Elements Sword Pill.
The fire sword was pure white, emitting a dazzling white light, like a small sun illuminating the night. Within that white light were many flame-shaped runes, making it appear exceptionally mysterious.
With a flick of his wrist, the flaming sword shot towards the yellow-robed monster.
"Break this mere Five Elements Sword Control Technique!" Under the healing power of the "Exquisite Inner Core," the yellow-robed monster's injuries had mostly healed, and he then raised his sword to slash at the fire sword.
Instantly, the fire sword exploded, turning into flames that filled the sky.
The blazing sun burns the heavens!
This level of fire had no effect whatsoever on Kui Mulang, a powerful demon at the peak of the Qi Refining and Spirit Transformation stage. His physical body was so strong that even bathing in lava wouldn't have affected him.
The flames that filled the sky instantly extinguished, revealing an earthy yellow hue. A massive, heavy sword materialized and slashed down. As heavy as a mountain!
Fire generates earth; this is the transformation of the five elements.
This earth-elemental greatsword was naturally cut in two once again.
But then, another sharp, metallic sword flew out.
After the golden sword, it transformed into an ice sword with water attributes, then into a wooden sword, and when the wooden sword was ignited, it became a fire sword.
The five elements generate each other, endlessly and continuously. In an instant, a river of swords formed, blocking Kui Mulang's attack.
"Break!" Kui Mulang roared.
At the same time, the constellation Kui in the sky seemed to light up, and then a beam of starlight fell.
Then, a half-human, half-wolf monster appeared in the sword formation. Its fur was golden, its eyes were blood red, and it was ten zhang tall. Its left hand had extremely sharp claws that gleamed with a cold light, while its right hand was humanoid, holding a large sword, and its mouth was full of fangs.
This is Kui Mulang's true form, a wolf, a wolf demon. This is his half-demon form, his strongest in battle!
With a single, massive swipe of its claws, carrying the murderous aura of a white tiger, it tore the Sword River apart. With a stomp of its feet, the stone mountain beneath its feet trembled, immense force penetrating the boulders and causing the mountain to collapse.
Using the force of a stomp, the giant wolf shot forward like an arrow, its claws and teeth sharp, the knife in its hand gleaming coldly. At this moment, Kui Mulang's speed had increased by thirty percent.
"snort!"
Jiang Liu snorted coldly, and instantly held up a small bronze cauldron with his left hand. As he watched the wolf demon rushing towards him, a power suddenly emerged from the bronze cauldron in his hand.
Subsequently, the area around Jiang Liu's body began to tremble, and the rocks, air, night wind, and even space itself seemed to distort. It was as if a primordial beast had been forcibly shoved into Jiang Liu's body, revealing terrifying power.
Kui Mulang has his trump card, so how could Jiang Liu not have one?
The "power of one province" of the Nine Provinces Cauldron was activated instantly.
With a single punch, the space trembled violently. Kui Mulang tried to dodge, but Jiang Liu's fist shattered the space in front of him, making it impossible for him to avoid it.
With a "howl," the terrifying giant werewolf howled in pain. Then its demonic form continuously transformed, finally becoming a golden-haired giant wolf, roaring as it pounced towards Jiang Liu, its mouth seemingly gathering demonic power, still having the strength to fight.
But Jiang Liu gave it no chance. With a swift movement, his fists flew like the wind, unleashing dozens of punches at the giant wolf, each one landing squarely.
"Finished the job! I'll spare your life!"
With a swift movement of his fist, Kui Mulang, covered in blood, collapsed to the ground, convulsing uncontrollably.
Chapter 251 Lady White Bone (Part 1)
Under Kui Mulang's furious gaze, Jiang Liu patted him down, then took out the bottle of "White Tiger Constellation Starlight" and threw it into his storage space.
"If it weren't for your loyalty and compassion, you wouldn't be alive today. Cherish these last few years!"
Jiang Liu looked down at Kui Mulang, then took to the air and flew eastward on his sword.
The golden-haired giant wolf watched as Jiang Liu's sword light disappeared into the eastern sky, a look of loneliness and sorrow appearing in its eyes. Then it spat out the "Exquisite Inner Core," which, under the moonlight, cast a bright ray of light, healing the wounds on its body.
As dawn broke and the first rays of sunlight shone from the east, Kui Mulang finally managed to transform into human form.
Returning to the Wave Moon Cave, exhausted and wounded, Princess Baihua Xiu of Baoxiang Kingdom naturally gave him a cold shoulder. Unable to unravel the mystery of her unborn child, Baihua Xiu forever believed that Kui Mulang was a monster. She refused to believe that the Yellow Robe Monster was an incarnation of the Twenty-Eight Constellations, and she considered her two sons to be monsters as well, devoid of any emotion.
The two sons started crying again, but Baihua Xiu ignored them.
Kui Mulang silently teased his son. This tough man was now full of tenderness, but his face was full of sorrow.
"You gave me hope, why cruelly shatter it? Time is running out, what can I do? What can I possibly do? My children, what can I do for you? I only hope you grow up quickly and become capable of protecting yourselves, so that I can return to Heaven in peace!"
Although Baihua Xiu was in the Wave Moon Cave, her heart had already flown to the Kingdom of Baoxiang. She came to the highest point of Wanzi Mountain and looked westward, where her home was.
...
Jiang Liu, however, did not fly very far after leaving the place where Kui Mulang fought.
The battle just now was extremely exhausting, and the use of "the power of a whole province" had damaged his internal organs. More importantly, the killing aura of Kui Mulang's White Tiger constellation had actually seeped into the three superficial wounds on his chest.
If it's not removed in time, it will cause trouble.
Looking down from the sky, the sound of water and the smell of dampness could be heard from the due east direction. More importantly, the area exuded a spiritual energy far greater than that of the desolate mountains and wilderness. If he wasn't mistaken, there should be a small spiritual vein there. Therefore, Jiang Liu quickly descended there and was pleasantly surprised to find a giant rock with a deep fissure in its center. This fissure looked as if it had been cleaved by a god's axe, truly a masterpiece of nature.
To heal, one should naturally choose a place with abundant spiritual energy. In an ordinary place, it would take three days to recover, but in this place, one day would be enough.
After looking around, there was no danger. After all, it was just a very small spiritual vein, far inferior to the previous Hidden Dragon Mountain. Looking into the depths of the crevice, crystal-clear spring water dripped rapidly, gathered together, and finally flowed into a natural stone pool. The water was crystal clear and very pleasant.
He took out a grain of dragon tooth rice, fetched some spring water, and started a fire to cook it. He then sat cross-legged on a large blue stone by the stream to meditate and heal his injuries.
A ray of dawn broke through the east and fell straight down. Jiang Liu slowly opened his eyes, and a few strands of golden substance were forced out from the wound on his chest. As soon as it came into contact with the air, it evaporated into nothingness.
After a night of healing, the killing intent of the White Tiger was forced out, and the three wounds finally healed. However, the damage caused by the "power of an entire province" would require slow recovery. Fortunately, Jiang Liu's physical body was strong enough; he had achieved the body of a human immortal in the "Yang God" world, and he also had the highly nourishing Dragon Tooth Rice.
Jiang Liu sniffed, a unique fragrance wafting towards him. After a moment's thought, he unleashed a sword aura, enveloping the Dragon Tooth Rice to prevent the fragrance from leaking out and causing further trouble. Then, he scooped up a handful of spring water and splashed it on his face, instantly feeling an indescribable coolness spread throughout his body.
He took out Dragon Tooth Rice from the sword's aura; it was neither porridge nor rice.
Once cooked, a single "dragon tooth rice" rice grain transforms into a viscous liquid, with pearl-like rice grains floating within it. Its fragrance cleanses the pores of the entire body, penetrating deep into the marrow.
