Outside the wooden house, Xiao Yan asked Yun Yun, who had just come out, “How much of your strength can you display right now?”
Yun Yun sensed it for a moment and said, “All of it.
Because I recuperated in time, my body hasn’t left any hidden injuries.”
Xiao Yan nodded in satisfaction, “Alright, come with me to the Magical Beast Mountain Range.”
As he spoke, he spread his Purple Cloud Wings and flew into the air.
Yun Yun spread her wings to follow and asked in mid-air, “Where are we going?
What are we specifically going to do?”
Flying along, Xiao Yan replied, “Those Demonic Beast Overlords in the Magical Beast Mountain Range are getting too rampant.
Come with me to wipe them out one by one.”
Yun Yun:?
“You mean we are going to fight other Demonic Beast Overlords?” Yun Yun confirmed.
Xiao Yan didn’t hide it either, “Body Refining needs their heart’s essential blood.
The two of us will righteously do a two-on-one and break them one by one.”
Yun Yun gripped her sword and asked no more, “Let’s go!”
…
A few days flashed by in a blink of an eye.
Western region of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
In the sky, a Tier 6 Demonic Beast, Wild Wood Ape, which was entirely green and covered in vines, angrily said to the woman flying in the air not far away, “Human, this king has no grudges or enmity with you, yet you come up and immediately want to start a war with this king.
Do you really take this king to be afraid of you?!”
Yun Yun’s expression turned icy as she flipped her long sword, pointing directly at the Wild Wood Ape’s face: “Wind Extreme: Falling Kill!”
A cyan tornado continuously gathered on the sword body, and its violent Aura caused the expression of the Wild Wood Ape to change.
“Human, you forced this king to do this!”
“Heaven-reaching Giant Vines!” The Wild Wood Ape mobilized all its energy, and green energy surged up, spreading towards the surroundings.
The earth began to shake violently, and thick vines drilled out from underground.
Using one of them as a base point, countless thick vines rotated and coiled upward.
After just a moment, the huge vines were already over a dozen meters thick, fiercely rushing towards Yun Yun.
However, at this very moment, a figure that had been hidden for a long time rushed out from the darkness with extremely fast footsteps, instantly blinking from a hundred meters away to the side of the Wild Wood Ape within the blink of an eye.
“What?!”
The Wild Wood Ape, which was manipulating the Heaven-reaching Giant Vines, widened its eyes and let out only a single exclamation before the suddenly appearing figure’s double fists, carrying violent Purple Flames, struck squarely into its chest and abdomen.
The Wild Wood Ape only felt its vitality rapidly draining away.
Lowering its head to look, those fists had already pierced from its front chest straight through to its back, making a complete hole right through.
And that figure had already withdrawn its fists, retreating wildly by over a dozen meters without giving it any chance to counterattack.
“Despicable human!” The Wild Wood Ape roared unwillingly.
“Whoosh!”
Wind Extreme: Falling Kill descended at this moment, the violent tornado blowing past the Wild Wood Ape’s neck.
“Thump~”
The Wild Wood Ape’s massive head fell to the ground.
Xiao Yan walked over, smashed the head to pieces, and chuckled, “Heh heh, another demonic core.”
Stowing the Tier 6 demonic core and the Wild Wood Ape’s body into his storage ring, Xiao Yan extended his hand towards Yun Yun, who had landed on the ground.
Yun Yun’s expression remained unchanged.
From her initial unnaturalness to now being accustomed to it, she extended her hand and familiarly high-fived Xiao Yan.
“As expected of my best partner, what synergy!” Xiao Yan gave a thumbs-up.
The corners of Yun Yun’s mouth curved up faintly as she tucked a strand of hair from her face behind her ear and smiled gently, “I think so too.”
The two of them looked at each other and smiled, spreading their wings simultaneously to take off and fly back toward the small valley.
…
Yun Yun and Xiao Yan,
One was a 3-star Dou Huang who frontally restrained the Demonic Beast Overlord that had already reached Tier 6, forcing the Demonic Beast Overlord to go all out with Wind Extreme: Falling Kill;
The other had the physical strength of a Tier 5 Demonic Beast, and under a sneak attack using a Di-rank Dou Technique, even a Tier 6 Demonic Beast had to meet its end.
The two cooperated seamlessly, moving from the southern and northern regions near the east all the way to the western region—a total of three Tier 6 Demonic Beasts, all of which were Demonic Beast Overlords of their respective areas, none of which could be taken down by Yun Yun or Xiao Yan alone.
However, humanity’s greatest strength was cooperation.
Yun Yun and Xiao Yan had one person attract attention from the front while the other ambushed from behind.
None of the three Demonic Beast Overlords were able to resist, and they were successively defeated, losing their lives and the essential blood within their bodies.
Among them, the Demonic Beast Overlord of the southern region—the Demon Sky Eagle—was the most unwilling.
It was the fastest Demonic Beast Xiao Yan and Yun Yun had ever encountered and almost escaped.
In the end, just by a tiny margin, it was struck by Xiao Yan’s Purple Flame, burned until its intestines were pierced and stomach burst during its escape, and was ultimately hunted down and killed.
Aside from the three Tier 6 Demonic Beast Overlords, Xiao Yan and Yun Yun also killed a few Tier 5 Demonic Beasts, though they didn’t completely wipe them all out.
Leaving a few Tier 5 Demonic Beasts with intelligence prevented the Magical Beast Mountain Range from falling into complete chaos; otherwise, the surrounding towns would suffer.
The essential blood of the three Tier 6 Demonic Beasts and the essential blood of a few Tier 5 Demonic Beasts gave Xiao Yan’s physique quite a significant improvement, reaching the upper-tier standard among Tier 5 Demonic Beasts.
Ordinary Tier 4 Demonic Beasts couldn’t even break his defense or withstand a single punch from him.
For instance, a Rockwater Crocodile ambushed him while he was jumping into the river to bathe.
With one bite, it only managed to leave a few white marks on his skin, and then it was immediately hammered flat by his punch, its blood directly dyeing the river red.
Xiao Yan estimated that once he absorbed the essential blood of that half-step Tier 7 Demonic Beast deep inside the Magical Beast Mountain Range, along with the Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire, his physique would definitely reach the standard of a Tier 6 Demonic Beast.
As a result, even without considering Yao Lao possessing him, his immediate combat power had reached the peak of the entire Jia Ma Empire.
It is worth mentioning that.
After Xiao Yan swallowed that Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill, his cultivation reached 9-star Great Dou Master and was only a step away from Dou Ling.
With such cultivation coupled with his formidable physical body, after Yao Lao possessed him, he could directly erupt with strength comparable to a half-step Dou Zong.
At that time, if he executed the Flame Burst Fist of the Di-rank Dou Technique imbued with Purple Flame, Xiao Yan was confident he could take down that half-step Tier 7 Demonic Beast one-on-one.
However, to be on the safe side, he still decided to bring Yun Yun along.
She, a 3-star Dou Huang, still carried quite a bit of weight and could completely act as an assistant to further increase their chances of winning.
In the small valley.
Xiao Yan sat cross-legged in front of the Medicine Cauldron, retracting the Purple Flame inside the cauldron.
Above it was a mist formed by the condensation of rich purple Medicinal Pill fragrance.
“The Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill is done!”
“Here you go, the second Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pill.
You owe me two Tier 5 Beast Fires now, haha.” Xiao Yan casually tossed the Medicinal Pill to Yun Yun.
Yun Yun caught the Medicinal Pill, put it into a jade bottle, and smiled happily, “Thank you very much, Xiao Huo.”
“It’s just a transaction, no need to thank me.” Xiao Yan waved his hand.
Yun Yun immediately shook her head, “No, what I want to thank you for is that you were willing to trust me and gave me two Purple Heart Barrier-Breaking Pills in advance.”
“You and I are the best partners, they’re just two mere Medicinal Pills.” Xiao Yan said dismissively, “I’m still waiting for you to exert more effort in tomorrow’s battle.”
“I will.” Yun Yun’s expression was extremely earnest.
Not far away, Xiao Yi Xian sat on a chair, holding a handful of poisonous powder and pouring it into her mouth, turning her head away in displeasure.
…
In the blink of an eye, time came to the next day.
Xiao Yan and Yun Yun stood in the open space of the valley, waved goodbye to Xiao Yi Xian, and flapped their wings to leave.
Xiao Yan looked towards the central area of the deepest part of the Magical Beast Mountain Range.
Target: the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, Ten Thousand Beast Spirit Fire!
Opponent: a half-step Tier 7 Demonic Beast!
Two against one, the advantage is mine!
