Chapter 71 The Battle Maniac, Shentu Longteng
It had been seven days since the battle of Three Springs City.
Within these seven days, the disciples of the Nine Heavens Holy Land almost mobilized in full force. Centered around the main human cities outside the Demon Cloud Ridge, they killed thousands of demonic beasts. Because most of the disciples coordinated with each other, only a few disciples were killed or injured.
Even so, there were still some demonic beasts that knew special concealment techniques causing trouble individually. The means of ordinary cultivators simply could not catch them.
During this time, the Big Dipper Holy Land and the Shentu Family, having received the Nine Heavens Holy Land's request, each dispatched support forces to sweep away this demonic infestation. It was also gradually entering its final stages.
...
Three hundred miles south of the Demon Cloud Ridge lay a human city named Black Horse City.
The overall layout of Black Horse City was significantly larger than that of Coiling Dragon City. Outside the city, under the many rolling hills and near the jungles, large towns with populations of over ten thousand people had been established.
Two days ago.
The Nine Heavens disciples responsible for this area had sent a message outward, saying they encountered a Winged Demon with extremely fast escape speed that was very difficult to deal with.
For some unknown reason, this Winged Demon seemed to have set its sights on this specific town. It had circled around for two days without showing any sign of leaving.
Relying on its fast speed, this Winged Demon would eat a few human children each time, then spread its wings and leave leisurely.
Every time, the two core disciples of the Nine Heavens Holy Land could do nothing about this Nascent Soul Realm Winged Demon.
Night fell.
The moon rose above the treetops, and a cool breeze gently blew.
Outside Nanshan Village, atop a stone pillar rising from the ground, Lin Xuan, dressed in a Golden Sun Robe, sat cross-legged on the uneven stone column with his eyes closed. Each of his breaths seemed to trigger a reaction from the surrounding spiritual energy, causing quite a bit of it to gather towards his body.
Lin Xuan had just hurried over from ten thousand miles away.
In the few days prior, his control over the Great Wind Blade Technique had improved another step, and his coordination with Little Jade became better and better. Even if he encountered some demonic beasts at the third level of the Refining Void Realm or above, he could hold his own for a while, and by cooperating with the other elders of the Nine Heavens Holy Land, they could kill the Refining Void Realm demonic beasts.
Lin Xuan's pair of black-and-white eyes slowly opened.
Gazing downward, he could see the scene of Nanshan Village a hundred paces away at a glance.
Although it had just entered night, the entire Nanshan Village had fallen into a dark silence. Only on the sacrificial square of Nanshan Village were a few torches still burning.
Due to the influence of this Winged Demon, the people of this village would hurriedly return home after finishing farming during the day, and did not dare to light candles at night.
They were terrified of being targeted!
On both sides of Nanshan Village, two Nine Heavens Holy Land disciples clad in white robes stood with erect postures. Both of them were watching the surroundings with great vigilance.
As for Lin Xuan, he cast the Great Void Technique, concealing his figure within it.
He sat waiting for the Winged Demon to arrive.
After a moment.
Amidst the outlines of the distant pitch-black mountains, a black shadow came flying at extreme speed, hugging the jungle. It stopped on the thick branch of a tree several miles away from Nanshan Village, using the lush branches and leaves to hide its body.
This Nascent Soul Realm Winged Demon was using a pair of sharp eagle eyes to carefully examine the distant Nanshan Village.
Everything was silent everywhere!
Just like usual, there was nothing different!
This Winged Demon observed quite cautiously for a long time. Sensing that apart from two human cultivators, there was no one else.
"Phew!" The heart of this Winged Demon clansman, who had a graying patch between his brows, relaxed slightly from its earlier tension.
He had finally found a town like this with no powerful human figures. Unable to resist the delicious taste of human blood food, he had risked making a move several times. After discovering that those coming to encircle and suppress him were just a group of human cultivators with ordinary realms, he still wanted to stay here for two more days. He planned to wait for human cultivators above the Soul Formation Realm to arrive, then find a chance to slip away.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, I can enjoy delicious food again!" The Winged Demon, with a white feather between its brows, said with great excitement.
Whoosh!
Next.
The black wings behind this Winged Demon suddenly flapped, and it left the branch, gliding down close to the towering tree canopy.
The distance to the stone pillar where Lin Xuan was located grew closer and closer.
And finally, it arrived within a hundred paces.
"Little Jade, move!"
Lin Xuan then threw Little Jade out from his storage ring.
At the same time, Little Jade raised her pair of small, delicate, and pink hands. Several emerald green vines as thick as a baby's arm flew out from her cuffs. Like two agile long whips, they wrapped themselves towards the body of the incoming Winged Demon.
Just as that Winged Demon wanted to spread its wings and escape.
Lin Xuan's spiritual consciousness connected to the divine ability rune of the Great Heart Demon Technique. He locked onto this Winged Demon as the target and instantly activated the Great Heart Demon Technique!
Thus causing the Winged Demon, whose eyes were clear, to suddenly fall into a state of confusion.
And it was tightly bound by the vines. At the same time, one end of the vine was like a sharp drill, directly piercing through the Winged Demon's skull and blasting its soul apart.
Next, Lin Xuan summoned the two core disciples of the Nine Heavens Holy Land over and threw the Winged Demon's corpse to them. The handling of subsequent matters could be left to them!
As for Lin Xuan, he prepared to continue using Nanshan Village as the center to patrol within a radius of a thousand miles, to avoid the reappearance of demonic beasts like the Winged Demon.
Just after Lin Xuan had flown not far from Nanshan Village.
Under the bright moonlight, a streak of resplendent golden light flew over, piercing the vast sky. In just a few breaths of time, it arrived before Lin Xuan's eyes.
The golden light dispersed.
A young man in a golden robe emerged from within. His face was fair, and although he was dressed in splendid clothes, he also had the appearance of a scholar.
A trace of doubt flashed in Lin Xuan's eyes.
Immediately, he opened the system's inspection function and scanned over this young man in the splendid golden robe.
A piece of information entered his view.
Nickname: Shentu Longteng
Race: Human Race
Level: Golden Core Realm Ninth Heaven
"It's this battle maniac!"
A bitter smile emerged in Lin Xuan's eyes.
In the game of his previous life, this Shentu Longteng's character setting was that of a battle maniac. This was also related to the Mad God inheritance he possessed. His growth was fastest only in battle. Shentu Longteng also spent his entire life looking for formidable opponents, trying to stimulate the blood of the Mad God in his body.
The Mad God was merely a powerful expert who stopped at the Myriad Longevity Realm. Although among the crowd of people who obtained inheritances from Crossing Tribulation Realm experts, he was already considered top-tier.
But speaking of it, among inheritances of the same level, it was far inferior to Zhao Ling'er's Lightning Mother inheritance.
Lin Xuan came back to his senses and carefully examined Shentu Longteng.
In the previous life, when Lin Xuan saw him, it was because the Nine Heavens Holy Land had been breached by the armies of several demon and monster races, so they fled as refugees into the territory of the Shentu Family. He saw him while resisting the demon race army.
In Lin Xuan's view, he could be called a dragon or phoenix among men!
"Lin Xuan, I wasn't wrong about you being the third Saint Son of the Nine Heavens Holy Land. I have been asking the Nine Heavens Holy Land disciples about your news. Knowing you were nearby, I hurried over. Without further ado, let's have a spar!"
Shentu Longteng certainly did not waste words and went straight to the point.
