Ancient Devouring Technique

Chapter 940 The Cowardly Demon

"Buzz..." The void shook and black flames filled the sky, like a black sea of ​​fire surging out, plunging the entire ice lake into darkness.

Under the shock, Ye Xuan directly entered the Galao state, and a monstrous black flame sword energy slashed out. Moreover, in that black flame sword energy, Ye Xuan also hid the power of the law that fused time and space!
"Ang!!" For the first time, a look of complete fear appeared in the Ice Dragon's eyes. He did not expect Ye Xuan to suddenly use such a powerful move.

It gave up all its original movements without hesitation, and swayed its body, apparently wanting to escape directly back into the water.

However, since the Shura sword energy has already been launched, it also contains the power of time and space, so how can it fail?

"Swish!!" At the moment when the ice dragon turned around and wanted to dive into the water, a black line fell from the sky and hit the heart on its back exactly, and drilled into its body almost without any hindrance!

"Ow!!!"

The ice dragon's movements froze for a moment, and then its entire body began to tremble violently. It let out a shrill roar from its huge mouth and began to struggle frantically. For a moment, white light filled the air, strong winds blew, and huge waves surged across the ice lake.

The ice dragon's struggle did not last long. The violent aura on its body weakened rapidly, and even the icy light on its scales dimmed. It could be seen that many parts of its huge body were shriveled and sunken.

A warrior's blood will be burned by the Shura Demon Flame in just a moment. This Ice Dragon is huge in size, so it takes a little more time, but the result is the same.

After a while, the ice dragon's struggle finally stopped, and its life breath completely disappeared. Its huge body, which had obviously become much thinner, lost the support of its demonic power and slowly sank into the water.

In addition, black gas was burning on the surface of the body, and it would be reduced to ashes in a moment.

"Huh..." After successfully killing the ice dragon, Ye Xuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but before he could finish breathing a sigh of relief, his expression suddenly changed again!
"Moo!!!"

A strange and deep roar suddenly came from under the ice lake, and along with it came a breath of a demon beast that was even more powerful than the ice dragon! !

"That's it!" Bingyu and the others were shocked again before they could recover from Ye Xuan's instant kill of the ice dragon!
Feeling the breath coming from the bottom of the lake, Ye Xuan's face became solemn. He understood that this was the other great sage-level monster guarding the Soul-Nourishing Blood Lotus!

What kind of monster this was? There was no record in the jade slip that Ye Xuan obtained, because the people who explored it at the time only saw the ice dragon. After repelling the ice dragon, they were scared away by this second-level Great Sage-level monster. Therefore, they only knew the rank of the beast, but not the other details.

Ye Xuan frowned slightly, his eyes fixed on the lake below. He was not completely sure that he could defeat the Great Sage Level Two Monster. Fortunately, this monster came out after the Ice Dragon was dealt with. If the two of them came together, he would probably have no choice but to retreat.

At this moment, I can only sense its aura, and I don't know what this beast looks like, let alone what special abilities it has, but I think it should be of the ice or water type, and its size should be quite large. As for abilities... as long as it doesn't have the special magical power of the ice dragon that can bounce back illusions, it's fine. That kind of magical power is really one in a million, and I don't think it's such a coincidence that the two monsters here happen to have it?

Ye Xuan pondered in his mind and calmed himself secretly. When dealing with a monster of this strength, it was impossible for him to just treat it as a "practice" move. Since Galaro had already attacked, he might as well continue to use this strongest trump card and try to end the battle as quickly as possible.

Ye Xuan thought that such a powerful monster might be able to launch an attack if it floated up a little bit, so he wanted to seize the opportunity before the opponent surfaced. Even if he didn't hit it with one blow, it would be more advantageous to block the opponent below.

But what was beyond Ye Xuan's expectation was that the monster at the bottom of the lake suddenly lost its breath at the moment when his sword unleashed its power, as if it was suddenly startled. Then Ye Xuan felt its direction of movement suddenly change, and it began to move rapidly to the right. Ye Xuan initially thought that it was trying to make a roundabout evasion, but the other party swam to the edge of the right side of the ice lake, and then continued to go away to that side. Ye Xuan was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that the monster must have drilled into an underground passage.

It actually...ran away? !

Ye Xuan showed an incredible look in his eyes. He looked to the right of the lake and clearly felt the breath of the monster gradually disappearing in the distance. That's right, it really ran away...

A demon beast from the second level of the Great Saint Realm, fleeing without a fight? !

Ye Xuan even had a sense of absurdity in his heart. Such a thing had never happened, let alone been heard of. How could a demon beast from the second level of the Great Saint Realm be so timid?
But no matter how unbelievable it is, this is the fact. It is not some conspiracy. The monster really left without even showing its face.

"Ye Xuan, it, it... escaped?"

After a long time, Tianyin Xuannv behind Ye Xuan asked uncertainly.

Ye Xuan also came back to his senses from his astonishment and nodded, "That should be the case. He was probably shocked by the killing of the Ice Dragon, so he gave up fighting me..."

This statement seems a little far-fetched, but it is not impossible. The Shura sword plus the power of time and space are powerful and may be able to kill the great sage monster easily. The other party may not want to take the risk, so he chose to escape.

As he was speaking, he heard the sound of breaking wind from the left. Turning around, he saw Bingyu and the other three flying towards him.

"Ye Xuan, what's going on?" Bing Yu stopped beside Ye Xuan, looking at the direction where the monster disappeared, and asked in surprise, "Why did the monster run away like that?"

Ye Xuan shrugged and said, "I'm not sure either. Maybe he was scared away."

As he spoke, Gala's state was quickly lifted.

Bingyu felt it was ridiculous and stopped dwelling on the issue. She looked at the icy lake below and asked, "What should we do now?"

"Of course we have to go down and find the Soul-Nourishing Blood Lotus right away." Ye Xuan said decisively, "If we delay, something unexpected might happen. Maybe the monster suddenly changes its mind and comes back to kill us. Let's go down now."

The others agreed deeply, and without further ado, they descended from the air and sank into the icy lake.

The lake was freezing cold, but it did not have much impact on everyone. After entering the water, everyone discovered that the water surface above was dark because of the reflection of the dim sky above, but there was a white glow under the lake, as if there was a large light source at the bottom of the lake. The deeper they went, the brighter the light became. When they reached a depth of more than 5,000 feet, the surroundings were as bright as day.

Fearing that there might be some unknown danger below, Ye Xuan remained cautious. However, he was safe and sound until he descended nearly ten thousand feet and could see the bottom of the lake.

"Is that the Soul-Nourishing Blood Lotus?! It's so big!" Bingyu couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise as she looked at the huge 'light source' that appeared in her field of vision.

They saw a huge 'ice lotus' at the bottom of the lake a thousand feet below them. It was estimated to be a hundred feet in size and emitted a strong white light that made it impossible to stare at it for too long.

"That's just ice cubes condensed together..." Ye Xuan raised his hand and pointed at the lower part of the huge 'Ice Lotus' and said, "The real Soul-Nourishing Blood Lotus is over there."

"Oh?" Bingyu was stunned when she heard that. She squinted her eyes and looked carefully, but it was difficult to see clearly. She simply concentrated her mind and explored carefully. As expected, she found that the huge 'ice lotus' was just composed of countless ice cubes of different sizes. Below it, on the soil at the bottom of the lake, there was a normal-sized blood-colored lotus, which was also like an ice sculpture, but it exuded a strong vitality. Obviously, this was the real 'soul-nourishing blood lotus'.

"Let's go! Pick lotus!" Ye Xuan called out and flew away. In a few breaths he landed at the bottom of the lake and came to the side of the soul-nourishing blood lotus.

"That's right...it really is the Soul-Nourishing Blood Lotus! Moreover, it's basically mature!" Ye Xuan looked at the Soul-Nourishing Blood Lotus swaying slowly in the water, exuding a mysterious aura that made people intoxicated. He shook his right hand and took out a square box made of ice jade. After opening the lid, he raised his hand and released a burst of energy, cutting off the Soul-Nourishing Blood Lotus from the root, then brought it in front of him and put it into the ice jade box.

After closing the lid and putting the jade box into the storage ring, Ye Xuan smiled slightly. He couldn't believe it himself that he had obtained the Soul-Nourishing Blood Lotus so easily.

"Crack, click..."

Suddenly, a sound of shattering came from above their heads. Everyone was startled and looked up hurriedly, only to see that the 'Ice Lotus' formed by countless ice cubes above was collapsing. It should be because of the influence of the real Soul-Nourishing Blood Lotus that it condensed. Now that the Soul-Nourishing Blood Lotus has been taken away, the Ice Lotus also shattered.

Ye Xuan turned his head and looked to the right, saying, "So that's how it is. There was originally another Soul-Nourishing Blood Lotus here, but it must have been eaten by the Great Saint Realm Second Heaven Demonic Beast. It may be that because it had already eaten one, it gave up this one so easily and left."

Over there, there were still a lot of scattered pieces of ice suspended in the water. Nothing could be seen before, but now it was obvious that they were the remains of a giant ice lotus that collapsed.

"We have obtained the Soul-Nourishing Blood Lotus. Let's go. I got this spiritual medicine so easily, but I always feel a little uneasy. It's better to leave early." Tianyin Xuannv said.

Bingyu joked, "Isn't it good if it goes smoothly? Does it have to be a life-and-death struggle to be 'normal'?"

Tianyin Xuannv also felt that she was a little too nervous.

……

After a while, everyone returned to the surface of the lake. After stepping onto the ground, Ye Xuan frowned. For some reason, he felt uneasy, and even his heartbeat seemed to speed up a little.

This inexplicable sense of crisis made Ye Xuan's face become heavy. He waved to the others, and without saying a word, he led the way and walked quickly back the way he came.

However, less than ten miles away, the situation Ye Xuan was worried about finally happened...

"That is!!"

Almost at the same time, everyone's expression changed drastically and they suddenly turned around to look behind them.

It was pitch black there, and nothing could be seen, but everyone could clearly feel that an indescribably powerful aura was chasing them at an alarming speed! !
Bingyu's face turned pale, and she said in surprise, "Tianzhu, your bad luck really came true! Trouble is coming!"

Ye Xuan's expression was also gloomy and somewhat scary. The corners of his eyes trembled slightly, and he squeezed out three words from between his teeth in doubt:

"The peak of the ninth level of the Great Saint Realm..."
