This humble Taoist priest, Qianhe, begins his quest for immortality by slaying demons and monsters.

Chapter 29 The Six-Winged Centipede Appears, Zhong Bai Cleverly Annihilates It
The structure of the Pingshan ancient tomb is quite unique.

The Dan Palace is located deep in the valley, while the Weng City is situated on the mountainside to guard against tomb raiders. The Yuan Corpse is located at the mouth of the bottle.

The Dan Palace at the bottom of the valley.

The Angry Sun Chicken was in high spirits; it had already smelled the temptation of the food it was meant to eat.

Partridge Whistle followed closely behind, and soon the two arrived at the palace complex where Dan Palace was located.

"Using the five poisons to refine pills, it can't be anything good..."

Zhong Bai frowned slightly as he stood in front of the main hall. The traces of toxicity and residual medicinal properties in the air were far too obvious.

However, Zhong Bai didn't dwell on these things. This Pill Palace had been abandoned for hundreds of years. If it weren't for the six-winged centipede hidden inside, Zhong Bai wouldn't even bother to come in.

"Master Qianhe, look at the Angry-Eyed Rooster!"

Just as Zhong Bai frowned, Partridge Whistle keenly noticed that the Angry Rooster's current state was completely different from its previous excitement.

Its claws rubbed incessantly against the ground, its wings flapped incessantly, and its once clear eyes turned blood red. At this moment, the Angry-Eyed Rooster was extremely restless, and with each crowing, Partridge Whistle's vigilance was almost at its limit.

"So they've found that six-winged centipede!"
Brother Partridge, please take back the Angry-Eyed Chicken. It is no match for this Six-Winged Centipede. The Angry-Eyed Chicken is still useful to me, but I cannot let it die here.

As for this six-winged centipede, I'll leave it to him."

The Dan Palace is only so big. Although the six-winged centipede is good at hiding, it doesn't know how to conceal its aura. Zhong Bai has already captured its aura.

The six-winged centipede is quite strong, at the peak of the early stage of a demon soldier, comparable to a cultivator at around the fifth level of Qi Refining.

Upon hearing this, Partridge Whistle hesitated. After all, everything has its counterpart. The Angry-Eyed Chicken might not be a match for the Six-Winged Centipede, but it could still restrain it. If he could use the Angry-Eyed Chicken to severely injure the Six-Winged Centipede, the chances of winning this trip would be much greater.

Zhong Bai, however, did not want the Angry Birds to die there, so Partridge Whistle had no choice but to guide the Angry Birds back into the cage.

Even so, the Angry Rooster continued to crow in its cage.

"You've hidden yourself well, but I've come here today to kill you. How can I allow you to continue hiding?"

Zhong Bai's true essence surged forth, and the illusory lightning seal emitted streaks of purple light.

With the blessing of the Thunder Seal, the true essence transformed into bolts of lightning that surged into Zhong Bai's palm. At this moment, he unleashed the Thunder Escape Technique, and his speed was incredibly fast!

A flash of purple light appeared, and Zhong Bai's figure disappeared from the spot, transforming into a stream of light and instantly arriving at a crack in the open space of the Pill Palace.

There, a thick-armored centipede, about three zhang long and one meter wide, was restless and hissing softly.

The next second, lightning surged forth, and a bolt of purple lightning accurately struck the six-winged centipede's body. With a crackling sound, the lightning exploded, and the six-winged centipede's originally hard, impenetrable carapace cracked open.

Drops of dark green blood seeped out, and the excruciating pain made the six-winged centipede realize that its hiding was pointless!

With a roar, it flapped its wings and took flight!

The massive body swooped down rapidly from the crack towards Zhong Bai's direction.

Seeing this, Zhong Bai transformed into a bolt of lightning and fled. The force of the six-winged centipede's swooping down was probably tens of thousands of pounds. Even if Zhong Bai had mastered the Shangqing Body Tempering Technique to its fullest extent, with abundant blood and qi in his body and the strength of five thousand pounds in his arms, he wouldn't be foolish enough to fight a monster with brute force.

.........................................................

Partridge Whistle, who was observing the situation from outside the palace near the exit, only saw Zhong Bai disappear in a streak of light, followed by a breathtaking scene.

A centipede, three zhang long and bearing six wings, leaped out of the abyss's fissure. Zhong Bai retreated rapidly, his lightning bolts relentlessly striking the six-winged centipede's body.

Zhong Bai, who possesses the Lightning Release technique, found it quite easy. Lightning is a long-range attack, and the Six-Winged Centipede's greatest strength lies in its body.

But he still couldn't touch Zhong Bai, and his injuries were increasing. The six-winged centipede's eyes were now bloodshot. It hovered in the void and opened its mouth to spit out a dark green mist towards Zhong Bai.

This is its awakened supernatural power; the poisonous mist is extremely corrosive, and Zhong Bai became excited as he dodged it.

"good chance!"

The six-winged centipede remained motionless, spewing venomous mist, which gave Zhong Bai an opportunity to attack its six wings!
Without its wings, the six-winged centipede is just a reptile, making it easier for Zhong Bai to kill it.

Within the Qiankun Ring, a brass longsword fell into Zhong Bai's right palm. His left hand suddenly unleashed a bolt of lightning aimed directly at the six-winged centipede's brow. Almost simultaneously, the brass longsword in his right hand also slashed through the void, heading straight for the six-winged centipede's back wing.

In the six-winged centipede's perception, it saw lightning rushing towards its brow, its forelegs crossed like a shield, forcefully withstanding the power of the lightning.

But... at the same time, the brass longsword sliced ​​through the six wings on his back, and in an instant, four of the wings were severed!
With only a pair of wings remaining, it was no match for the ability to hover in mid-air. As its body plummeted, Zhong Bai waited for the moment it would fall!
"Thunderbolts transform into spears, die!"

With his hands converging, Zhong Bai nearly drained the true essence from his body, gathering it in front of him into a lightning spear. The six-winged centipede falling from the sky was unable to control its body.

He could only watch helplessly as he landed precisely on the lightning spear, piercing through its body.

The lightning raged within his body, and even the most vigorous centipede was instantly extinguished by the lightning.

With everything brought to a close, the six-winged centipede was slain by Zhong Bai.

Wiping the sweat from his forehead, Zhong Bai knew it wasn't easy. Killing the six-winged centipede had almost exhausted his true energy. For an ordinary person to kill a six-winged centipede, well, that was just a pipe dream.

Anyway, Zhong Bai looked at Partridge Whistle, who was now dumbfounded. He didn't believe that Partridge Whistle could kill the six-winged centipede without being killed by plot.

Once the effort is over, it's time to reap the rewards.

Slay a six-winged centipede at the early-stage peak of the demon soldier realm, and obtain 200 demon-slaying points.
Remaining Demon Exorcism Points: 250

Well, this remaining number looks a bit bad. Zhong Bai thinks we should increase it tomorrow.

With the demon-slaying points credited to his account, Zhong Bai smiled with satisfaction. However, the gains from slaying the six-winged centipede were not limited to this.

Once a demon soldier reaches the demon soldier realm, a demon core can condense within the body of the demon beast.

This demon core might not be of much use to Zhong Bai, but for the Angry Rooster, it is an incredible opportunity!
Seeing the brass longsword still embedded in the back of the centipede, Zhong Bai pulled it out and then slashed hard across the head of the six-winged centipede.

In the blink of an eye, a new wound appeared. Because it was already dead, the six-winged centipede had stopped circulating its demonic energy, and its defensive capabilities had decreased significantly.

Looking at the dark green demon core so close at hand, Zhong Bai didn't touch it, but instead looked at Partridge Whistle, who was still in a daze.

"Brother Partridge, the Six-Winged Centipede is dead. Could you please bring the Angry-Eyed Rooster with you? This Six-Winged Centipede is a great opportunity for it!"

It wasn't until Zhong Bai called him that Partridge Whistle came to his senses and hurriedly led the Angry-Eyed Chicken to the six-winged centipede demon's body.

The cage was opened, and the Angry-Eyed Chicken flew out, circling excitedly in the air.

However, it soon couldn't resist the temptation of the dark green demon core, so it flew down and tried to swallow it.

Zhong Bai reached out and restrained the Angry Rooster's wings, then laughed and said, "You wish! This six-winged centipede was killed by me. Although my original intention was for you to swallow it, we still need to go through a master-servant contract before that."
