Changsheng: My experience in patrolling the liver

Chapter 601 Leizhou, a Battle for Opportunities! (Two Chapters Combined)

Seeing his young master's expression constantly shifting between light and dark, the old servant sighed and couldn't help but say, "Young master, this matter concerns Song Xian. I think we should go back and inform the master as soon as possible."

"You dare!" Zhan Xinshou's eyes widened instinctively again.

If his own father finds out that he went out and offended Song Xian's people, he doesn't know how he'll be punished.

Anyway, Song Ping'an and the others have already left. They beat him up like this, so their anger should have subsided and they shouldn't bother him anymore.

"No one is allowed to tell anyone about this!" Zhan Xinshou said fiercely to his old servant and the guards beside him.

"But..." The old servant wanted to say something, but faced with the dangerous look in Zhan Xinshou's eyes, he swallowed his words back.

"What bad luck! Let's go back!" Zhan Xinshou wiped the blood from his mouth and, not wanting to stay any longer, turned and left.

After taking only two steps, he turned around and ordered his guards to retrieve the dozen or so teeth that had fallen to the ground.

Outside Santing City, a thousand miles away.

In a primeval, pitch-black forest, there are many bare trees struck by lightning.

This place is extremely dangerous as it is prone to attracting heavenly lightning. Therefore, it remains one of the forbidden areas in Leizhou designated by the human race.

It is precisely because this place is sparsely populated that there are many lightning-attribute monsters, and alien races often hide in it.

Of course, there are also some radical martial artists who practice thunder magic and choose to come here to find rare and precious materials or a secluded place for cultivation.

Suddenly a gust of evil wind blew, and amidst the flying sand and stones, two snake demons appeared.

The snake demons had spiraled, sharp horns on their heads, with lightning flashing at the tips of the horns, clearly indicating that these two snake demons were thunder beasts.

Back then, the human race either killed or drove away more than 90% of the demon race in Leizhou, but this did not mean that the hostile demon race in Leizhou had completely disappeared.

In fact, a province is so vast that there are always ways for demons to hide within it.

Even the original three provinces of the human race could not be eradicated, let alone Lei Province, which had only recently been recovered.

These two snake demons were clearly among those who escaped the net back then.

"This is it, Madam." One of the snake demons transformed into a tall, thin man, flicking his tongue and pointing to the forest of lightning-struck trees ahead.

The other snake demon transformed into a beautiful and alluring woman, swaying her truly slender waist, her large eyes also searching for the source.

In that vast forest of lightning-struck trees, there was a place where a faint glow of light emanated from it.

It wasn't very clear during the day, but at night, these glows became very obvious, making them hard to miss.

"Smells wonderful, it really is a Thunder Dragon Fruit." The snake woman narrowed her cold, sharp eyes, revealing a hint of intoxication.

"Yes, it's almost ripe, Madam. This Thunder Dragon Fruit is a gift from me to you. Do you like it?" the snake demon said with a smile.

"My good husband, you are so wonderful." The snake woman stretched out her slender hand, her whole body seemingly soft and boneless, and wrapped around the snake demon, gently caressing him.

"With this Thunder Dragon Fruit, perhaps I will have the chance to undergo a bloodline transformation like my husband and become a dragon-serpent."

"I believe you can do it, so that we can stay together forever and never be separated," the snake demon said emotionally.

The snake woman was overjoyed and couldn't wait to pull the snake demon into the primeval forest of lightning-struck trees.

"Hmm!" The snake demon's expression suddenly changed slightly.

"What's wrong?" the snake woman asked upon seeing this.

"As expected, other demons have their eyes on this Thunder Dragon Fruit," the snake demon said in a deep voice, his eyes cold.

“My lord, you are the Demon King, those demons will certainly not dare to contend with you,” the snake woman said.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple. Let's go take a look." The snake demon said, and with a swift movement, he and the snake woman transformed into two arcs of lightning, darting through the forest.

Before long, the snake demon arrived at its destination, deep in the forest where the rosy light was.

Here stand several giant trees struck by lightning, each a hundred meters tall and several tens of meters thick.

In the middle of the lightning-struck giant tree, a small tree, no more than two or three meters tall, was growing.

On the sapling, branches and leaves spread out, and a fruit grows at the top.

Purple leaves, white peel, about the size of a fist, and stripes of thunder pattern on the fruit.

The thunder pattern resembles a winding dragon, exuding mystery.

This is the Thunder Dragon Fruit, which can only be found occasionally in some secret realms, and now it has appeared in this Leizhou Forest.

This also attracted many demons.

These two snake demons are just one of many.

All the demon races are waiting for the Thunder Dragon Fruit to ripen; they estimate it will be in the next day or two.

The appearance of the snake demon also attracted the attention of other demons who were based in the area.

A faint hostility emanated from them, their senses spreading outwards as they both tried to test the other's strength.

The snake demon quickly identified one of the thunder tigers, one thunder bird, and one long-nosed thunder elephant.

In his view, only these three guys were worthy of his fear.

The reason why the demons are still behaving themselves is simply because the Thunder Dragon Fruit is not yet ripe.

High above, Nan Wuji and Su Yaoguang gazed at the assembled demons below.

"Truly a great opportunity, attracting so many powerful demons." Su Yaoguang frowned and shook her head.

Nan Wuji also stared intently, his face serious.

His gaze also lingered on the thunderbird, the thunder elephant, the thunder tiger, and the snake demon.

He and Su Yaoguang could still fight against ordinary powerful demons, but these four powerful demons, who seemed to be at the level of demon kings, made him consider giving up on the Thunder Dragon Fruit.

But then he thought that if he gave up this time, he might never have another chance to find a second Thunder Dragon Fruit, and he felt unwilling.

"I won't leave. If you leave, I won't blame you." Nan Wuji finally made up his mind to take a gamble, but because this move was too dangerous, he wouldn't drag Su Yaoguang into the danger with him.

Su Yaoguang hesitated for a moment, then shook her head helplessly and said, "This opportunity is too rare, and I can't bring myself to give it up."

The boundless spiritual energy of heaven and earth within the Thunder Dragon Fruit can not only enhance their current cultivation level, but the thunderous essence within it can also reshape their physical body, which is an opportunity to raise the upper limit of their future martial arts.

I believe that no martial arts master would be willing to give up such a chance to take a gamble.

Upon hearing this, Nan Wuji said nothing more.

To reach the pinnacle of martial arts, one must strive for every opportunity that comes one's way; otherwise, there is absolutely no way to reach the legendary Great Perfection realm, the end of martial arts.

Su Yaoguang chose to stay not for Nan Wuji, but for herself.

The two of them working together would give them a better chance of obtaining the Thunder Dragon Fruit from the group of powerful demons. They could then split it in two, which would be better than retreating now and gaining nothing.

However, as another day passed, more and more demons came because of the Thunder Dragon Fruit.

Even many human warriors arrived, making the scene even more lively.

Many martial artists, seeing the growing scale of the operation, realized their own inadequacy and quietly left, selling off information about the Thunder Dragon Fruit.

As a result, martial arts masters also arrived one after another, subtly standing on equal footing with the demon race.

Two more days passed. At a certain moment, pure spiritual energy suddenly emanated from the Thunder Dragon Fruit in large quantities, carrying a faint fruity aroma that wafted for miles.

The energy fluctuations spread out in concentric circles, causing thunder to rumble and strange phenomena to occur one after another.

All the great demons and grandmasters in the forest had their eyes light up, realizing that the fruit had finally ripened!
Roar!
Almost all the great demons moved at the same time, unleashing their speed and bursting forth to the extreme, moving closer to the Thunder Dragon Fruit.

Forget about the saying "the nail that sticks out gets hammered down"; getting the fruit in your hand as quickly as possible is the most important thing. At worst, you can just swallow it whole after you get it.

Nan Wuji and Su Yaoguang also set off immediately, continuing their descent.

In an instant, a vast primeval forest began to crumble.

Outside Santing City, there are eight hundred li of land.

A ball of golden fire fell and smashed into the ground, creating a large crater.

It turned out to be a person engulfed in flames, writhing on the ground in agony.

"Spare me! Sir, please spare me! I'll tell you everything!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the golden flames that seemed to never go out suddenly detached from his body and floated into the sky.

Four figures descended from the sky; it was Song Ping'an and his group.

The golden flames were then taken back by the young girl, Huang.

"If you hadn't run, why would I have burned you?" The young phoenix stood in front of this person and snorted with dissatisfaction.

"Yes, yes," the person on the ground had been burned beyond recognition, his skin charred black, and dared not disobey the group any longer.

"Now, tell me, what did you do to the owner of this spirit sword?" Song Ping'an asked directly, getting straight to the point.

"Kill, kill him," the burned man whispered.

"Do you know where this knife came from, and who the person you killed was?" Song Ping'an paused for a moment, his tone growing colder.

"No, I don't know. I only know that the sword in his hand is a spirit sword. Only after it was sold to the auction house did I find out that it was made by Song Xian."

The man stammered as he explained everything.

It was just a simple case of murder and robbery, something that was commonplace in the martial arts-loving land of Kyushu.

Li Sanhu's descendants were parading around with the family heirloom sword when they attracted the attention of others, which led to their unfortunate deaths.

After changing hands several times, the precious sword ended up in Tian Shangxing in Leizhou, where it was intercepted and recovered by Song Ping'an, who came after hearing about it.

After receiving his young master's reply, Song Ping'an investigated the matter and easily found the culprit behind the incident.

It's also the other party's fault for being greedy. Knowing that this knife was a hot potato, they still wanted to get the auction money of five hundred high-grade spirit crystals first, and as a result, they were caught red-handed.

"Hmph, it's no wonder you were burned." Little Phoenix sneered after hearing this.

Su Qingqing, who was standing to the side, also didn't have a good look on her face.

Although she had no real relationship with Li Sanhu, she, who always had principles and a bottom line, couldn't stand his acts of extortion and murder.

"I've told you everything. I don't want the five hundred high-grade spirit crystals anymore, and I'll even give you the knife. I just beg you to let me live," the man pleaded.

He didn't even know who the other group of people were; all he wanted at that moment was to survive.

"Save your words for the relatives of the person you killed," Song Ping'an said impatiently.

He casually picked up the severely injured prisoner from the ground and prepared to go back.

At this moment, Su Qingqing suddenly seemed to sense something and looked in a certain direction behind her.

Xiao Huang, who was standing nearby, had the same reaction.

"What's wrong?" Song Ping'an couldn't help but ask.

“There was a very strong energy fluctuation over there just now,” Su Qingqing said.

“There’s also demonic energy,” Xiao Huang added immediately.

"Now that the matter is settled, you can go back first. I'll go take a look." After saying that, Su Qingqing took off into the air.

"I'll go too." Xiao Huang was also excited and turned into a ball of fire to follow. In her opinion, the mission was really boring, so she might as well go find some fun.

"Let's go, Jin-mei." Song Ping'an shook his head, somewhat used to the two girls' swift and unpredictable manner.

He wasn't worried about Su Qingqing and the young girl Huang's safety, after all, Leizhou was now human territory, and the two of them were strong enough to face even a great demon without fear.

Lan Jin nodded, glanced at the direction the two women had gone, then looked away and left with Song Ping'an.

On the other side of the sky.

Nan Wuji and Su Yaoguang flew at high speed through the air.

They rode on flying swords, their bodies crackling with strange lightning, as they traveled on their swords.

Suddenly, a thunderbird swooped down to the side of the two and, without saying a word, spat out a ball of lightning.

"Three Thousand Lightsaber Style!"

Su Yaoguang pointed her fingers like a sword at the thunderbird, and instantly three thousand sword lights shot out from her body, colliding fiercely with the incoming lightning.

Her sword techniques were incredibly powerful, even seemingly surpassing the level of a top-grade sword technique, and possessing a profound and mysterious quality reminiscent of martial arts.

Unfortunately, this time the opponent was a demon king with even greater cultivation.

Despite the immense resistance from the sword lights, the lightning still pierced through the air.

As he approached the two, Nan Wuji finally made his move.

He thrust out his sword with a sudden, powerful strike, a move completely different from Su Yaoguang's sword style.

Although they were all disciples of Lingjian Mountain, they studied under different masters, and their learning and understanding were also different.

With a single strike of the domineering sword, the incoming lightning bolt was brought to a halt, and the sword energy instead surged back towards the lightning bird.

If you look closely, you'll also notice that both of their sword auras are accompanied by some unusual lightning, which adds to their destructive power.

"Damn it, they devoured the Thunder Dragon Fruit!"

The snake woman who was chasing from behind screamed in anger when she saw the strange lightning.

She thought this would be her chance to transform, but she never expected that it would be taken away by these two human masters!
"Don't panic, Madam. The Thunder Dragon Fruit can't be digested in a short time. Once I catch them, you can eat their bones, blood, skin, and flesh. The effect will be the same, and you'll even get two more portions of Grandmaster Blood Food to replenish your energy!" the snake demon beside him said somberly.

"Husband, I'm counting on you!" The snake woman was overjoyed upon hearing this. As long as the opportunity wasn't missed, everything was negotiable.

"Good!" The snake demon was clearly more powerful. With a twist of its body, it burst into extreme speed, closing the distance between itself and Nan Wuji and the other two.

At this moment, Nan Wuji and Su Yaoguang joined forces and forced back the thunderbird that had approached first.

Nan Wuji remained calm as he glanced around at the other directions.

Not only was the snake demon approaching them, but a thunder elephant demon king and a tiger demon were also in pursuit.

If he wasn't mistaken, that tiger demon should be the remnant of the Lei Lun Tiger Clan who once dominated Leizhou and occupied Lei Ji Mountain.
