Minglong

Chapter 151 Second Grade
"you--!"

He Hai's eyes were bloodshot. Although it was the first time he had met Xie Jinhuan, he absolutely refused to believe that this ruthless scoundrel in front of him could be the righteous hero praised by everyone!

Seeing that Xie Jinhuan actually dared to use a living person to refine a blood demon pill, He Hai immediately flew into a rage and stepped forward, and more than ten cultists surrounded him from all sides!
The moment Xie Jinhuan's vast blood energy invaded his body, his pupils suddenly dilated. It was as if a valve in his brain had been activated, turning into a torrent that traveled from his nerves to every part of his body.

The heart rate suddenly accelerated to several hundred, and the speed of Qi circulation was also instantly pushed to the limit.

Thump thump thump—

The sound of their heartbeats blended together, causing their cheeks to flush red.

This sudden and forceful stimulation of physical strength is enough to cause any cultivator to die instantly or even explode on the spot.

However, the essence of blood and qi refined by the Blood Demon Pill is used to make up for the deficiency caused by the body's extremely high workload.

At this moment, Xie Jinhuan held the golden ball as if he had an inexhaustible resource library. He strengthened and stabilized his body inside and out without regard to cost. Every muscle became more resilient with the support of blood and qi. He didn't have to worry about exhausting his vital energy and shortening his lifespan.

Facing the more than ten demon bandits who attacked, Xie Jinhuan retreated with his sword in his right hand. His figure instantly turned into a trail of blood mist, and his sword light swept across the necks of several people behind him like a shuttle!

sough--

Before the four demon bandits could react, they were already decapitated!
He Hai, thinking Xie Jinhuan intended to take advantage of him and escape, pushed his physical strength to the limit, leaping up and smashing his mace into Xie Jinhuan's back. The result:
boom--

Before Xie Jinhuan could even turn around, an invisible gale had already erupted around him, protecting his back!

He Hai drew his mace, but the Heavenly Gang Mace was like a waterfall cascading into a torrent. The impact prevented the heavy mace from leaving his hand, but it was uncontrollably deflected, and then a sword light slashed from in front of him.

Sa——

Ding ding ding ding…

He Hai unleashed a series of single-handed attacks with his mace, attempting to kill the boy and reclaim the Blood Demon Core.

But Xie Jinhuan was a true martial artist, specializing in killing techniques. Every sword strike was aimed at the throat and eyes. In just a few sword strikes, he forced He Hai back several steps, and his momentum was rising steadily. The speed of the sword in his hand was visibly increasing, and the power contained within it was also gradually increasing!

Although Xie Jinhuan longed to improve his cultivation level, he still had the 'Vigorous Dragon Pill' that was about to be obtained. Therefore, he tried his best to suppress his Qi Sea to prevent his cultivation level from becoming just a pretty face. He used the endless essence of Qi and blood to temper his muscles and bones and solidify his foundation.

Even so, the growth is still visible to the naked eye!

He Hai and the others surrounded Xie Jinhuan, initially forcing him to dodge and weave.

With only seven or eight soldiers remaining, falling to the Thunderous Sword Light, He Hai's defenses gradually became strained. Several sword lights pierced through the gaps, striking his chest, abdomen, and throat, bringing forth splattered drops of blood.

Whispering rustling——

Xie Jinhuan grabbed the golden ball with his left hand, his body was directly enveloped by the blood mist, and his pores greedily devoured all the blood energy.

The sword light in his right hand was like the breath of a dragon or snake, and in the blink of an eye, it had shattered He Hai's robes.

But He Hai was indeed extraordinary. Although his experience and skills were inferior to his, his limbs were incredibly resilient. With each strike, his skin turned yellowish-brown, and the wounds were less than the depth of a fingertip. By the second strike, the wounds had already begun to heal.

The two were locked in a fierce battle, seemingly fraught with danger and blood splattering everywhere.

But He Hai swung his heavy mace haphazardly, unable to hit Xie Jinhuan at all.

Xie Jinhuan's sword strikes were always accurate, but he couldn't break through the freak's defense, and the two were locked in a stalemate!
Ye Hongshang watched the battle from the sidelines, and after careful study, he analyzed:

"This person appears to be a hybrid of human and transvestite. He looks human, but his bone structure resembles that of a 'toothed pig.' He attacked the forehead, so it's no surprise that the bone is very thin."

Sa——

Upon hearing the analysis, Xie Jinhuan's sword bypassed the Heavenly Mace and struck directly at the forehead, which is relatively sturdy for most people.

bang~
The three-foot sword pierced the forehead but failed to penetrate the flesh; however, the bone beneath the skin cracked with a 'crack' sound.

He Hai staggered backward, his eyes wide with horror. He flew back several steps, then dropped the Heavenly Gang Mace he no longer knew how to use and charged forward headlong with his bare hands.
"drink--!"

Boom——

Xie Jinhuan intended to give chase, but then he discovered that a cloud of black mist burst forth from behind He Hai, who took large strides and raised one arm to his forehead, his whole being like an unstoppable bull, moving with the speed of lightning.

Seeing this, he sheathed his sword and gathered his energy, then charged forward with the force of a black dragon crashing into a pillar, creating a tornado of black dust in the mine. The sword light pierced directly into the left arm that was covering his forehead!
Boom——

He Hai's left arm was immediately pierced through. The sword energy burst forth, but it failed to break the arm bone. Instead, the indescribable impact bent Zheng Lun's sword, and his body slammed into Xie Jinhuan's chest and abdomen.

Bang!
Fearing the golden ball would be knocked away, Xie Jinhuan used his one-handed backhand to withstand the impact with the Panlong Henggang technique.

With a loud bang, the hemp robe was torn to pieces, the ice scale armor remained undamaged, but the person was sent flying like a cannonball and crashed into the shed behind.

slam-la-

He Hai, having discarded his weapon, charged wildly like a demonic beast, his combat power surging. After knocking Xie Jinhuan away, he launched another thunderous attack, crossing his hands in front of his forehead and charging at Xie Jinhuan once more.

Boom boom boom——

The mine's buildings were instantly engulfed in a shower of bricks and stones, resembling a rampaging bull from a distance.

Xie Jinhuan dodged left and right, stabbing He Hai with hundreds of swords, but none of them hit his forehead or vital points. It was basically just scraping, like dealing with a thick-skinned wild boar king!
After this continued for a while, Xie Jinhuan realized that fighting like this was pointless, and Zheng Lun Sword was sheathed in the blink of an eye:
Choking——

He flew through the air and landed in the arena.

The blood energy within the golden ball in his hand had all flowed into his body, but it had not yet been fully digested.

Xie Jinhuan dropped the golden ball and stood in the mine with his bare hands, his muscles and blood vessels surging, and his aura even stirred up the surrounding dust.

Seeing that He Hai was completely enraged and showed no sign of backing down, Xie Jinhuan twisted his neck and charged at him.

Tread-tap-

The two strode quickly and closed the distance!
Seeing that the Blood Demon Pill had been completely consumed, He Hai was filled with resentment and rage. He covered his forehead with both hands, let out a roar, and charged forward headfirst:
"drink--!"

Xie Jinhuan, on the other hand, circulated his energy throughout his body, took a big step forward, and unleashed a "Black Bear Backing the Mountain" attack, while simultaneously using the Panlong Horizontal Ridge to support his body.

bang——

The earth is shaking!

The two collided, and the terrifying impact instantly blew up the surrounding coal dust several meters, revealing the original yellow earth surface!

This was the first time He Hai hadn't managed to knock his opponent away; he was thrown back a few steps by the impact.

Xie Jinhuan braced himself against the impact, sliding backward more than three zhang (approximately 10 meters) in the process. His arm was badly bruised and torn, but he remained unfazed and strode forward.
"Come on, keep going!"

"Drink—!" He Hai, being a demonic cultivator, was completely enraged and went mad. He had no intention of retreating and swung his arms as he charged forward, then rammed into the enemy again.

bang——

bang——

bang——

Circular ripples appeared in the desolate mine.

The sand and dust surged outwards like waves, accompanied by muffled thuds like thunder.

Xie Jinhuan's skin and flesh were certainly not as tough as this freak's, but 'Panlong Henggang' was a style of kung fu that required head-on confrontation. Although his arm was torn and bleeding, his internal organs were not greatly affected.

As for exhaustion, the Blood Demon Pill replenishes essence and blood. With the support of the Vast Sea of ​​Blood Qi, even if his Qi Sea is depleted, he can still ram his way in for another half an hour using only brute force.

bang——

bang——

The dull thuds of limbs colliding continued.

The two collided with each other more than forty times in the arena.

Although Xie Jinhuan was injured in both shoulders, his physique gradually strengthened through countless injuries and self-healing.

Seeing that He Hai was relying on brute force to charge and was gradually exhausting his strength, Xie Jinhuan slowed down his charge and charged head-on again. As he was about to strike, he lowered his body and delivered an extremely violent upward elbow strike.

He Hai tried to protect his forehead with both arms, but an unexpected heavy elbow struck him directly in the face.

thump—

The elbow strike was as sharp as a knife, breaking the bridge of the nose with a heavy blow. The person immediately flew off the ground, flipped in the air, and slammed towards Xie Jinhuan's other side due to inertia.

After Xie Jinhuan's attack, he sprang up, spun in mid-air, and delivered a whip kick to He Hai's forehead!

Snapped--

The whip kick ripped the trouser leg in mid-air!
He Hai was thrown into the air and spun backward. He was hit hard in the face and felt dizzy. Before he could react, a powerful calf slapped him on the forehead.

With a crisp 'crack', his forehead caved in almost instantly!

He crashed to the ground, carving a long furrow in the yellow earth before finally coming to a stop.

Xie Jinhuan landed with a whip kick and strode forward, kicking up his Heavenly Mace halfway and pointing it diagonally behind him. His momentum shifted, his footwork tightened like a taut bowstring, and he unleashed a thunderous roar:
"die--"

Boom——

The Heavenly Mace cleaved forward with all its might, sending sand and dust flying everywhere!

He Hai barely managed to straighten his sunken forehead as the heavy mace, powerful enough to shake a mountain, was already upon his head.

A sliver of clarity flashed in his eyes, which were filled with extreme rage, as he glanced at the lightning that was still flashing in the direction of Yunling Mountain...

bang——

The heavy mace struck the top of his head, exploding into a cloud of blood mist!
He Hai's limbs were indeed incredibly strong, yet even so, his upper body was not shattered; it simply sank a foot or so into the ground before collapsing backward with gushing blood.

thump--

Limbs fell into the sand and dust, and the mine fell silent, save for the rustling sound of the sand and heavy breathing.
"Huh...huh..."

Xie Jinhuan, dressed in sleeveless soft armor and ripped jeans, stood in place with his mace in hand. After waiting for a moment and seeing no movement from the monster that only had half a head left, he stopped, stood up straight, and wiped the sweat from his face.
"This grandson is even more formidable than Taishu Dan; his thick skin and tough flesh are outrageous."

Ye Hongshang, carrying a red umbrella, examined the corpse in front of him, looking slightly puzzled.
"This person should be a very important figure in the Underworld Cult. It seems that he used some kind of evil magic to mix human and demon together when he was still a fetus. His limbs have the toughness of a demon beast, but his bones, skin and flesh look exactly the same as a human's, and he does not show his half-demon body. It is difficult to see the abnormality without taking action."

"Could it be a child born from a human and a demon?"

"Humans and birds and beasts cannot reproduce. Even if they transform into human form, they can only have sex at most. Of course, they can have sex without transforming into human form."

"?"

Xie Jinhuan thought the ghost wife was a bit cheeky, so he put away the Heavenly Gang and examined her physique. He found that the Blood Demon Pill, which he had refined by slaughtering more than a thousand people, was indeed domineering.

His Qi Sea was originally like mist, but now it showed signs of liquefaction. This is because the early, middle and late stages of the 'Divine Qi Realm' do not require crossing a bottleneck. This is probably the aura of a second-grade martial artist.

When the Qi Sea condenses into a jade-like liquid and no longer contains any free Qi, one reaches the peak of the first rank, the watershed between immortals and mortals. Beyond that, one seeks immortality through martial arts to enter the Dao.

After a brief moment of scrutiny, Xie Jinhuan turned his head to look at the mountain of corpses piled up in the field.

Although most of the people in the state-run mines were criminals who had committed crimes, they were clearly not guilty of anything deserving of death, let alone being used as human sacrifices to raise demons.

Xie Jinhuan thought for a moment, then cupped his hands in a fist salute to the mountain of corpses:

"I have remembered your blood feuds. You were all harmed by the Underworld God Sect. In my lifetime, I will surely wipe out these bastards and avenge you all."

"You're quite particular."

"After all, they have benefited. If they could just turn around and leave without a care in the world, wouldn't they truly become a heretic?"

"Right."

Ye Hongshang, carrying a red umbrella, looked up at Yunling Mountain, which was still flashing with lightning:

"Something's not right over there. They shouldn't be fighting for so long. I bet there's another mess in the capital."

Xie Jinhuan wanted to rush over immediately upon seeing this, but he knew that killing someone meant destroying their spirit!

If that leader of the Underworld Cult hadn't died, he would definitely have made sure the other party knew what he had just done.

Therefore, Xie Jinhuan first picked up the empty gold ball, then felt around He Hai's waist and found his money pouch, jade pendant and other personal items before rushing towards Yunling Mountain...
