I bear witness to immortality in the human world.

Chapter 136 Approaching
border.

In a hilly area.

A figure clad in an official robe, wielding a long sword, swept past. His face was stern, and his eyes were sharp. He was none other than Wang Wuzheng, the eldest son of the Wang family and one of the most outstanding young talents of the Shenxing Division.

He continued along the hills, constantly observing the surroundings. Finally, after venturing deep into the hills, he encountered a three-transformation demon. This was a tiger demon, much larger than ordinary tigers, but also much thinner. Rather than a tiger demon, it was more like a 'biao' (a mythical beast). As the saying goes, "When a tiger has three cubs, one of them will be a biao." Tiger demons that have transformed from the bloodline of a biao are basically among the most ferocious and vicious of all tiger demons.

"Biao, finally a formidable opponent has arrived."

Wang Wuzheng's eyes were sharp.

As a rising star among the younger generation, he showed no fear in the face of the extremely powerful Biao Yao among the three great demons. On the contrary, his fighting spirit soared. He knew that a great change was about to occur in the northern wilderness of Jingye City. As the saying goes, great changes bring opportunities everywhere. He wanted to constantly hone himself, seize the opportunities, and see if he could break through and enter the realm of the fourth blood coagulation through this battle.

Once he can coagulate blood four times, he will not only become a leading figure among the younger generation in the entire Jingye City region, but many troublesome matters will also be resolved. For example, he will be able to find an opportunity to deal with Wu Ming, whom he has always regarded as a threat.

"Roar!"

The fierce-looking demon glared at Wang Wuzheng and let out a roar.

As a three-stage transformation demon, human martial artists are a great source of nourishment for them, especially martial arts masters like Wang Wuzheng who have condensed their blood three times. Once they can devour the essence and blood of a whole body, it will be enough to take a big step forward on the path of demon transformation.

Wang Wuzheng is a rising star among the younger generation, while Biao Yao is an extremely powerful and ferocious demon among the three-transformation demons. When the two powerful figures met, a fierce battle broke out. For a moment, the human and tiger shadows were entangled together, constantly bursting out with booming sounds. The aftershocks of the battle caused the nearby bushes to crumble and break apart.

After more than a hundred rounds of fighting.

Wang Wuzheng was covered in blood, some of it his own, some of it the demonic blood of the Biao Demon. A deep claw mark was visible on his shoulder, the wound inflicted by the Biao Demon. The Biao Demon also had three deep, bone-revealing knife wounds on its body.

Both the man and the tiger were seriously injured, but overall Wang Wuzheng had the upper hand. However, although he had the upper hand, his advantage was not significant. If the fight continued, even if he could defeat the tiger demon, he would risk dying together with it.

"This monstrous beast is truly ferocious. If we continue fighting like this, even if I win, it will be a Pyrrhic victory. The risk is too great. It would be better to send out a signal to see if anyone nearby can come to our aid."

Wang Wuzheng gripped his long sword, breathing heavily, his eyes gleaming.

however,
Just as Wang Wuzheng was hesitating about whether to call for reinforcements, a sudden alarm bell rang in his mind. He glanced around and saw a figure in black robes appear on the treetops not far away.

The black-robed figure seemed to appear suddenly, yet also seemed to have been standing there for a long time, causing Wang Wuzheng's heart to skip a beat and his pupils to shrink abruptly, revealing a look of shock. Although he had been fighting the Biao Demon for half a day and his attention had been focused on the Biao Demon, it was impossible for someone to approach at this distance without him noticing.

and,

Even with just a rough sense, one could feel that the black-robed figure's blood energy was restrained yet profound, far more vigorous and powerful than his own. It was not a world of difference, but they were not even in the same league. Clearly, the other party was a master of the fourth stage of blood condensation!
The black-robed figure wore a mask, his dark eyes were calm and indifferent. He glanced at Wang Wuzheng, and after Wang Wuzheng noticed him, he stopped moving and gracefully descended, heading straight for the fierce demon.

"Roar!!!"

Sensing danger, the monstrous demon bared its teeth and roared at the black-robed figure.

It suddenly whipped its tail, producing a loud sonic boom, and at the same time twisted its body, no longer wanting to fight, trying to withdraw and escape from this place.

However, these methods were useless in the eyes of the man in black robes. After the man in black robes landed gracefully, his figure flickered and made the monster's tail whip miss its mark. At the same time, he moved forward and poked the monster's ear with a finger.

This is the weakest point in the Biao Yao's skull.

puff.

The black-robed man's fingers plunged straight into it, and when he pulled them out again, they brought out a patch of bright red blood.

The attack on the burly demon seemed to leave only a minor wound, but the brain core in its skull had already been shattered by the black-robed man's finger. It immediately rolled over and collapsed to the ground, convulsing, only able to breathe in but not out.

"Junior Wang Wuzheng greets senior."

Seeing the black-robed man kill the Fiery Demon with a single finger, Wang Wuzheng felt a sense of awe, lowered his long sword, and stepped forward to salute.

The man in black robes flicked his hand, wiping away the remaining blood from his fingers. He casually wiped the blood off his fingers, then turned his gaze to Wang Wuzheng and asked, "Are you Wang Wuzheng?"

"Yes."

Wang Wuzheng bowed his head and responded.

He didn't know the origin of the black-robed man in front of him, but there was no doubt that the other party was a genuine four-blood martial artist. In this border region, he naturally dared not be negligent in the slightest.

"I'm here to find someone; you should know where he is."

The man in black robes stared at Wang Wuzheng and said.

Wang Wuzheng was slightly taken aback and said, "I wonder who you are looking for, senior?" "Wu Ming."

The man in black robes spoke indifferently.

Upon hearing the black-robed man's words, a multitude of thoughts surged through Wang Wuzheng's mind. He could tell that the black-robed man had come with ill intentions, seemingly seeking revenge against Wu Ming. He immediately asked in a low voice:
"What business does the senior have with him?"

"You have too many questions."

The man in black robes replied to Wang Wuzheng indifferently, and then said in a low voice, "I remember that your Wang family also has a grudge against him. It just so happens that I also have an old score to settle with him. I think you have no objection to me pointing the way."

Upon hearing this, Wang Wuzheng immediately guessed his identity. After all, there were not many experts who had reached the fourth level of blood coagulation in Jingye City, and even fewer of them had a grudge against Wu Ming. Apart from their Wang family, there was only the Black Fiend Sect!
There was only one person he could think of.

Guo Xiang's master is Tan Yuzhou, an elder of the Black Fiend Sect!
Wu Ming is now Liu Muyuan's disciple. Under normal circumstances, even if Tan Yuzhou harbors resentment towards Wu Ming, he would not act rashly. However, the current situation is special. The border is in chaos, with all sorts of people mixed together. Various forces have flocked to the border, and Wu Ming happens to be active there as well. If Wu Ming can be dealt with quietly, there will be no way to investigate him afterward.

Even if Liu Muyuan is furious, he can't possibly settle accounts with every single force.

“As the senior has given the order, the junior will naturally obey.”

Hearing the implied threat in Tan Yuzhou's words, Wang Wuzheng naturally dared not disobey. This was a border region where all sorts of people mingled; if he angered Tan Yuzhou, it might not be Wu Ming who died, but him.

He already had a grudge against Wu Ming and had long wished to get rid of him. However, in the past few times he had tried to deal with Wu Ming, either Wu Ming had been lucky enough to escape or something unexpected had happened. This time, an elder of the Black Fiend Sect had taken action. As long as Wu Ming could be found, there would definitely be no accidents. Moreover, if Wu Ming died at the hands of Tan Yuzhou, it would have nothing to do with him.

As for the concern that Tan Yuzhou might kill him to cover it up, he had ways to deal with that.

After a brief exchange, Wang Wuzheng sheathed his longsword, dealt with the monster's corpse, and then went deep into the forest with Tan Yuzhou, disappearing into the bushes.

……

In a rugged canyon.

Holding the black iron spear, Wu Ming followed the winding path forward. After turning a corner through a mountain stream, the view ahead suddenly opened up, and he saw three figures working together to attack a three-transformation snake demon beside a shallow pool.

Wu Ming recognized two of the three figures: Luo Wei and Lin Yongchuan, who had led the team with Zhou Huai'an when they were pursuing He Tian, ​​the Black Cloud Bandit, in the Shenxing Division.

He didn't know the third person; he was a complete stranger to him, most likely a patrol officer from the Demon Suppression Division.

Among the martial artists who had achieved the third stage of blood coagulation, Luo Wei and Lin Yongchuan were not considered particularly strong, and were far inferior to Zhou Huai'an. At this moment, the three of them joined forces to deal with the three-transformation snake demon, and the battle was still evenly matched, with Luo Wei only gaining a slight advantage.

"Hiss."

This snake demon was very small, only as thick as an arm and less than ten feet long, but it was extremely agile and possessed a special ability to manipulate the nearby water flow, interfering with the actions of Luo Wei and his companions.

Wu Ming only observed it briefly before judging that this snake demon might not be as strong as the three-dimensional rock snake demon he had killed before, but it was faster and its innate supernatural powers were more threatening. It was really not easy for Luo Wei and the other two to deal with it together.

Swish.

Since they happened to meet, Wu Ming had no intention of hiding and watching from the sidelines. He immediately took out his gun and appeared, leaping down from the height to the battlefield where the three men and the snake were.

When Luo Wei and the other two saw Wu Ming suddenly appear, they were first startled, but then they recognized Wu Ming's identity and were relieved. They then saw Wu Ming carrying a heavy black iron spear, his figure gliding forward, thrusting several times in succession.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle! !!
With just three moves, the sharp spear light tore through the sky, one spear pierced the snake demon's head, another spear ripped off the snake demon's long tail, and the third spear struck the snake demon's vital spot, pinning it to the rock wall beside it!

Seeing that Wu Ming had defeated the snake demon, which the three of them had fought for over a hundred rounds, in just three moves, Luo Wei, Lin Yongchuan, and the others all showed expressions of amazement.

"Lord Wu's marksmanship is becoming increasingly superb."

Luo Wei sheathed his weapon and sighed.

When they first met Wu Ming, they didn't pay any attention to him at all. It was only when He Tian died at Wu Ming's hands that they started to pay a little attention to him. As a result, they watched Wu Ming rise all the way up, from mastering the unity of skills to entering the third stage of blood condensation, and then being taken in as a disciple by Master Liu Muyuan. Now, although they are both at the third stage of blood condensation, Wu Ming's strength has far surpassed theirs.

"Thank you for your help, Lord Wu."

Lin Yongchuan also bowed to Wu Ming and spoke very politely.

"This is our duty, please don't stand on ceremony."

Wu Ming nodded amiably, without staying to help the three of them divide the three-transformation demon snake. He simply picked up his black iron spear and drifted away, leaving Luo Wei and the others with their hearts still unsettled.
