The area where Ning Cheng was cultivating was incomparably quiet, and apart from the red-eyed demonic beast that had initially come after Ning Cheng, Ning Cheng had not encountered any other demonic beasts.
Another month had pa*sed and Ning Cheng had already combined the Thirty-six Xuan Bing Spears and Seven Obsidian Ice Needles spells together. He first cast the Xuan Bing Sword Aura and then used another curved blade spell weapon as the Seven Obsidian Ice Needles, concealing it in the Xuan Bing Sword Aura for a sneak attack.
Unfortunately, he did not have a real Seven Obsidian Ice Needle, if he had a real Seven Obsidian Ice Needle, he would dare to fight even if he was a Qi gathering Great Perfection. If he had a real Seven Obsidian Ice Needle, he would have dared to fight even if he was a Qi gathering great perfection.
Even so, Ning Cheng believed that with his current strength, using the combination of the Thirty-six Xuan Bing Swords and the Seven Obsidian Ice Needles, an ordinary Qi gathering cultivator should not be able to resist.
On this day when Ning Cheng was still thinking about whether to melt the scimitar magic weapon in his hand and refine it into a fine needle, a slight speaking voice came over with the wind.
Someone was coming? Ning Cheng immediately affirmed that he had heard correctly and was certain that someone had come. This was the depths of the Daan Forest, ordinary people would never come to this place, even a Yuan Establishment cultivator would not dare to walk through the Daan Forest alone like this, what kind of person was this that dared to come here? The reason he was hiding here and didn’t dare to go was because his strength was too low and he didn’t dare to run around.
Ning Cheng hid in the tree cave at the first opportunity, he did not want others to know that he was in this place until he was sure whether the person coming was an enemy or a friend.
Ning Cheng did not have to hide for long when a light and steady sound of footsteps came, causing Ning Cheng to become more and more cautious. Although there were footsteps sounds, these footsteps sounded calm and steady, carrying an air of gravity, so it was obvious that the cultivation level of the person coming over was not low, or at least higher than his cultivation level.
A dozen or so breaths later, two men and a woman carefully walked over and appeared at the edge of this lake.
“Qishui, is this the lake you were talking about?” The one who spoke was the man walking at the end, his head was extremely small, but long and stout, making it not quite harmonious to look at.
When he heard the man’s question, the man with the goatee at the front stopped and pointed to the lake a short distance ahead and said, “Yes, Fei Shen, this is the Yongqing Lake in the Da’an Forest. Not many people know about this place, and I know about it because I have the ability to cross the Da’an Forest. I only learned of it by chance when I pa*sed by here last time.”
Ning Cheng was shocked to hear this, he knew how dangerous the Great An Forest was, even Ji Luofei’s aunt did not dare to say that she could cross the Great An Forest. This goat-bearded man actually had this kind of ability? Crossing the Great An Forest? This guy’s cultivation level was already vaguely clear to Ning Cheng at this point, he should also be a True Condensation cultivator. It must be that the man and woman with him were also True Condensation cultivators.
A True Condensation Cultivator, although his cultivation level was not bad, but what made him say that he could cross the Great An Forest? Unless he had a map of the safe walking route through the Da’an Forest. Only with a safe route map can one cross the Great An Forest to reach the Waki Continent. Otherwise, he would definitely end up being finished off by the demonic beasts in the Da’an Forest.
“Good, if this place is really as Qi Shui said, there is that thing, after we get it, we will go through the Da An Forest together to reach the Waki Continent.” The small-headed man said with certainty.
“I also agree.” The female cultivator in the middle also made her intentions clear.
Up to now, Ning Cheng only knew that these three people had come for the same thing in the lake. But they did not know exactly what the same thing was. At this moment, Ning Cheng even dared not make any movements, any one of these three could kill him in seconds, once he was discovered at this time, he would just be looking for death.
“I’ve already told you guys, the poisonous mist this thing spews out is incredibly poisonous, we’ll take the antidote pill first and then provoke it to come up. Once it is provoked to come up, Fei Shen and I will go up and attack. Fan Hong will stay behind, and when we have lured it out of the Clear Water Lake, the three of us will attack it immediately. As long as we don’t let it return to the lake, the three of us will definitely be able to finish it off.” After the goat-bearded man known as Qi Shui finished speaking, he took out three pure white elixirs.
He took one of them himself first and handed the remaining two to the other two Condensed Truth cultivators. Meanwhile, his eyes were fixed on the centre of the lake.
The other two Condensed Truth cultivators each grabbed an elixir and swallowed it, while the female cultivator swallowed the elixir and retreated a few steps back, concealing herself behind a giant tree.
“Fei Shen, I’m going to provoke it out of the lake, you hide at the edge of the lake, when it chases me, you just block its way.” After the goatee called Qishui finished speaking, he directly took out a fist-sized pitch-black orb, then with a flip of his hand, the orb had been thrown into the lake as if it was a cannonball.
A few breaths later, a huge muffled explosion rose from the bottom of the lake, and the huge surface of the lake was directly blown apart by this explosion, and in this instant, a large hole in the shape of a whirlpool could even be seen forming in the centre of the lake.
“Ow……”, almost at the same time, a dark red demonic beast that was five or six feet long rushed out from the whirlpool.
Ning Cheng’s heart almost shrank as he looked, this was actually a Jiao. On Earth, this was a legendary thing, and he had actually seen it today. This Jiao was covered in dark red scales, and its upper and lower body was so well integrated that it looked extremely beautiful, and its four huge claws looked like four iron rakes. What amazed Ning Cheng the most was that this Jiao had only one single horn.
The horn was snow-white and was nearly a metre or so, this was a one-horned jiao. After this one-horned jiao came up, the huge tail just swept, and the clear water lake, which was tens of feet in circumference, immediately whipped up a huge wave. The lake water surged up to the shore and washed all the water plants on the shore to the ground.
The powerful aura was so strong that even Ning Cheng could clearly feel that this was definitely a Demonic Beast of the Origin Building Realm, or even beyond the Origin Building Realm. A demonic beast that exceeded the Yuan Building Realm was a rank four demonic beast.
He had seen Wen Qiliu’s aura at the Cang Qin Two Star Academy back then, and he had also seen Aunt Ji Luofei’s aura. But no matter which one of them, their auras were far inferior to this one-horned jiao. These three guys with a mere Condensed True cultivation dared to come and challenge this one-horned jiao, this was simply seeking death.
No matter how Ning Cheng thought about it, he could not figure out why these three fellows would come here to seek death.
“Qishui, what’s going on? This is not a level two Red Poison Devouring Python at all, this is a near level four One-Horned Fire Dragon Jiao ah, how could you make this big mistake ……” The small-headed Condensed True male cultivator likewise discovered the terrifying nature of this One-Horned Jiao and immediately shouted in horror while about to turn around and flee.
What a joke, a few of them condensed true cultivators wanting to finish off a demonic beast that is close to the fourth level, what is this if not seeking death?
Ning Cheng was also covered in cold sweat, he did not expect that there would be a level four demonic beast in the place where he was cultivating. He didn’t know if this One-Horned Fire Dragon Jiao didn’t care to bother with him or if he hadn’t discovered him. However, Ning Cheng was sure that the chances of not discovering him were zero, how could such a demonic beast not discover him?
“Really, what I saw last time was definitely not this One-Horned Fire Dragon Jiao. It should have been this One Horned Jiao that finished off the Red Poison Devouring Python and then occupied the Spiritual Marrow Land at the bottom of this lake ……” said the goatee in alarm as well.
The feeling that Ning Cheng, who was watching from the side, did not seem to be very alarmed by this goat-beard was very strange to him.
When Ning Cheng sensed this, the small-headed True Condensation male cultivator called Fei Shen obviously also sensed it. Before he could react, the goat-beard had already retreated behind him and at the same time kicked the small-headed male cultivator called Fei Shen in the back.
The small-headed Condensed True Male Cultivator, who had wanted to fall backwards in a hurry, was hit by this kick and instead charged forward, landing right into the mouth of the one-horned augur that had opened its mouth wide.
The one-horned scorpion was obviously not polite when faced with the food that was served to it, and swallowed the small-headed male cultivator called Fei Shen in a single bite.
After the one-horned scaly dragon had devoured the man called Fei Shen, he had already arrived at the side of another female cultivator. At this moment, this female cultivator already knew that she and the other man had been tricked by this goat-beard, and while the goat-beard was coming over, she had already sacrificed a flying sword.
It was only that her flying sword had just been sacrificed when it fell helplessly.
“Ma Qishui, you are so vicious, we are like brothers in arms, how dare you poison me and the flying sink ……” After this female cultivator said these words, she was also kicked on the body by the goat whiskers, while flying towards the one-horned jiao that came over with its mouth open.
The one-horned augur did not hesitate at all, and after swallowing this female cultivator again, he let out an even more explosive hiss and rushed towards this goatee. The next moment, several blue water mists were spewed out by this one-horned augur.
At this moment, the goat-beard actually offered a round shield, apparently trying to block the water awnings spewed out by the giant augur.
“Boom boom ……” After several sounds in quick succession, the goat whiskers’ round shield was directly blown apart by the water awnings spewed out by this one-horned jiao.
At the same time as Goatee’s shield was shattered, Goatee was also blown away by the power of the water awning and crashed directly into a giant tree, spewing out several mouthfuls of blood. With this blow, Goat Whiskers’ face turned white, and it was obvious that he had not expected the one-horned augur to be so powerful.
At this point in time, he still did not choose to flee, but instead, he brought out another four-edged sword magic treasure, and looked like he was going to fight the giant auger.
At that moment, the giant jiao suddenly hissed again and actually dropped his goat’s beard, rolling on the ground. In less than a tea time, the giant auger had already tumbled into a huge hole in the ground. Some of the trees close to the giant augur were all broken by the powerful force of the giant augur, and there was a continuous sound of clacking.
Ning Cheng suddenly understood and secretly sighed in his heart that this fellow called Ma Qishui was so sinister. This fellow had brought his two companions over and each gave them an antidote to the poison pills, which was in fact an extremely powerful and terrifying poison. These two cultivators who had eaten the antidote pill were now swallowed by the one-horned jiao, and the toxicity was then all transferred to the one-horned jiao.
The one-horned scaly dragon also understood its situation at this point and rolled over while trying to escape to the Clear Water Lake. It looked like it wanted to enter the lake first to detoxify itself.
The goat’s beard also understood that this was a critical time, and without any regard for his own injuries, he directly brought up the four-edged sword magic weapon in his hand and blasted at the one-horned scaly dragon.
