Refining the True from the False: Becoming a God Starting with Devouring a True Dragon

Chapter 102 Wang Qi Switches to Melee Combat (from "The Great Python King's Collection") [Flame-Swallowing Pill] with Special Effects

"Prepare for the air rush."

The third level of the Demon-Locking Cave is another large cavern.

More than ten people, clad in demon skins and armor, stood at the forefront, holding weapons and shields in a defensive posture.

A dozen or so people lagged a few steps behind, their palms facing forward, streams of internal energy climbing their arms and gathering in their palms.

In front of everyone,

Nine third-tier demons of varying sizes, along with twenty second-tier demons, quickly surrounded them.

"put!"

Chu Yutang gave a low shout.

Sharp "qi bullets" formed from condensed internal energy shot out, each carrying the sharpness of the five elements.

The bodies of some second-tier demons were pierced through, as if by a magical artifact, and blood flowed incessantly.

Some of the demons also emanated a burnt smell, while others had a fragrant aroma.

However, the first wave of attacks was ineffective, and all the monsters were full of energy.

But with this one missed opportunity, the demons were already close in.

"Aim at one and shoot!"

"Call the nearest one."

Bai Nuo spoke, and then she walked to the front.

The inner energy swirled around his hands, like a pool of clear spring water clinging to them.

next moment,

Bai Nuo slammed her hands hard on the ground.

boom!

A surge of internal energy poured out from his palms.

It could encompass a total distance of five meters to the left and right, as if stirring up a surging tide, or as if internal energy transformed into stagnant water and rushed towards the attacker.

In a flash,

The monsters in front of them suddenly slowed down.

"Three against one!"

She spoke again.

Meanwhile, the dozen or so Qi Masters behind him had already adjusted.

Another series of energy blasts were fired, but this time the firepower was concentrated on the fastest-running second-tier demons.

This time,

They directly blasted those second-tier demons to death.

follow closely,

Two of the wolf demons suddenly opened their mouths and emitted a piercing inhalation sound.

Flames erupted from its mouth, instantly scattering two fiery fans.

boom!

The collision of water and fire instantly stirred up a large amount of mist.

Thick fog instantly enveloped the entire battlefield.

The footsteps in the thick fog suddenly quickened, but the people remained calm.

A few men stepped out from among the old martial artists guarding the front.

They are all experts at transferring blood twice.

They've already cleansed their eyes and nose.

Extremely perceptive.

"To the left, in the direction of Chen Shi (7-9 AM)."

They began to locate themselves in the thick fog.

The most crucial figure was Peng Yunfan, who was at the forefront. Even though the fog was thick, he could sense that the demons had nowhere to hide.

He only needs to stop the third-tier demons.

The rest should be left to those behind, allowing them to transform themselves in the battle.

This is an indispensable part of their desire to continue exploring deeper into the field.

The air surged and roared as these Qi Masters unleashed their power.

But they felt a little uneasy.

"I can't see this at all."

"Even if you give me your location, it won't work—it'll just be a waste of your internal energy."

Some people are hesitant to act, fearing they might accidentally hurt someone.

In particular, many people's Qi Master level is not like Bai Nuo and others, they have not experienced the growth of their total internal energy, so they need to be careful with their resources.

"Leave it to me."

A boy with a buzz cut walked out.

He took a deep breath, then roared, "Ha!"

Foggy time,

It was as if a fierce gale had risen, spreading outwards for dozens of meters around him in an instant.

Although it doesn't have much power.

However, it directly blew all the surrounding mist into the corner of the chair and into the tunnel.

The vision in everyone's eyes cleared instantly.

In a flash,

The fierce offensive resumed.

But the demons had already reached us.

In particular, there was a demonic wolf that had previously breathed out flames, whose name no one could recall.

But at this moment, it stood on flames and pierced through an old martial artist wearing a layer of third-tier demon skin and a layer of second-tier demon skin with one kick.

The flames on the soles of their feet were like the sharpest blade in the world.

It pierced straight through the man's chest.

This sudden turn of events caught everyone around off guard.

These third-tier demon wolves are the finest among demons!

A sharp, piercing sound suddenly came through the air.

The ten-meter-long fire python crashed down on the demon wolf with a sound almost like a dragon's roar.

A mournful wolf howl rang out, and it tumbled and scrambled out of the formation.

But the next moment,

It stood up again.

The flames on its body only burned off its fur. Apart from the tremendous impact, it did not cause any additional injuries.

The arrow embedded in its body didn't seem to have any effect.

Even the flames covering its body became an asset.

The flames on its body began to change, and a giant python's head emerged from one side of its head.

A monster that can grow a new head using flames!

How could he let this go?

Wang Qi's eyes lit up, and he immediately swooped down.

The two-headed wolf demon seemed to sense this as well and attacked.

People along the way,

They all parted to make way for the other demons and monsters.

They watched as the wolf and the human collided.

Armor!

Wang Qi's skin instantly tightened, as if a layer of armor had solidified, transforming into a shape resembling both withered wood and scales.

Amidst the astonished gazes of the crowd, he plunged headlong into the wave of flames unleashed by the wolf demon.

The raging flames instantly scorched Wang Qi's clothes.

However, when the flames landed on the skin, they seemed to be blocked and had no effect whatsoever.

Wang Qi's skin seemed impervious to water.

Like an impregnable fortress.

Awe-inspiring!

Golden light shone from his eyes.

The wolf demon in front of him froze instantly.

Dragon Fist!

Wang Qi's fist was wrapped in solidified dragon energy, and he unleashed a powerful punch.

boom!

He blasted through the neck of the third-tier demon wolf on the spot.

The astonishing killing power stunned Fu Xingwen, who was standing to the side.

"That's amazing."

Taking advantage of the situation, Wang Qi attacked another wolf demon of the same species on the other side.

Although this guy didn't get any help from Wang Qi's firepower, the destructive power of his flames was still shocking.

It can easily pierce through the skin of a third-tier demon.

"die!

Wang Qi let out a low growl.

Another Dragon Fist strike smashed half of the wolf demon's face, which was spitting fire, from the side as easily as smashing tofu.

He then wrapped his arms around the wolf demon's neck and suddenly dropped it.

Kama!

After a sharp crack, the wolf demon died on the spot.

The swift and decisive defeat of the two third-tier demons left Chu Yutang, Bai Nuo, and the others speechless with admiration.

Simultaneously,

Yu Junze and his group from Xiong Ying Lou, who were secretly watching Wang Qi and were also being watched by Wang Qi and his group, were equally terrified.

Wang Qi, who was famous as an exorcist, was also a skilled archer.

How can his melee combat ability be so formidable?

He was a little apprehensive, unsure whether he could cooperate with those demon masters to deal with Wang Qi.

As for what plans the demon masters had in mind, he himself was not sure.

Even one of his companions had already perished in the previous attack.

Those demon masters didn't seem to pay much attention to them.

"Indeed, there's no such thing as having it all on the battlefield."

Yu Junze forced a smile, trying to comfort himself.

"Yu Xiong, what did you just say?"

A burly man next to him spoke up.

This startled Yu Junze, who was feeling guilty.

"It's nothing. I was just wondering why Master Wang's physique is so robust."

The burly man grinned and said, "Master Wang himself comes from the old martial arts background, but he is just more talented in the art of exorcism."

"Do you really think Master Wang is bad at close combat?"

"He's the youngest deputy squad leader in Heihe County, the kind who earned his position through hard work."

"Huh?" Yu Junze's heart skipped a beat; he had no idea about any of this.

"How did you find out, brother?"

The burly man chuckled. "I'm a staunch supporter of Master Wang. The officials from Heihe County all live in that area of ​​Heihe Street. As soon as Master Wang became famous, I went to pay him a visit. I even wrote a little book about him while I was at it."

"Did you write 'The Great Python King Collection'?"

Yu Junze blurted it out.

The burly man scratched his head a little embarrassedly, "So Brother Yu knew about this too."

Yu Junze sized up the burly man.

He was burly and had a scruffy beard.

It doesn't seem like someone with any knowledge of literature at all.

"Brother Yu, be careful!"

The burly man shouted.

A snake demon suddenly launched itself forward, somehow leaping over the crowd from a distance and flying towards the area behind them.

The burly man drew two short swords from his waist and cleaved the snake demon in two.

Yu Junze's spear then pierced off the snake's head.

The two fighters were evenly matched in their speed.

"Brother, you have excellent skills."

Yu Junze praised it.

"Brother Yu truly lives up to his reputation as a disciple of the Eagle Tower; he arrived late but arrived early, his speed is truly remarkable."

The burly man offered a few compliments, laughing loudly as he said, "You're practically a born demon-slayer! The demon race won't tolerate someone like you."

"Yes, yes."

Yu Junze smiled somewhat awkwardly.

And at the very front of the battlefield.

Since Wang Qi was concerned that the Fire Python Arrows might chant and transform into demonic creatures to aid him, he simply switched to melee mode.

The "array" behind them also changed accordingly.

The group was split into smaller teams of three or four people.

One or two martial artists held the line in front, while two Qi Masters behind them unleashed "Qi Bullets".

All the third-tier demons were stopped by top-notch experts such as Chu Yutang, Bai Nuo, and Peng Yunfan.

They can even take on two opponents at once and resolve the battle relatively quickly.

However, the third-tier monsters they encountered at this moment were clearly different in strength from those on the second level.

With more and more methods, they possess a wide variety of abilities.

Most importantly, these demons know how to utilize the five elements, or how to coordinate them.

This is truly terrifying.

However, this chaotic battle ended...

Apart from the three people killed at the beginning by the third-tier wolf demon whose feet could blaze with fire, no one else died.

Wang Qi, standing amidst the pile of corpses, deactivated his armor.

Slightly out of breath.

This armor does indeed consume a lot of physical strength, and not just a little.

However, the effect was indeed good.

Combined with the Dragon Fist, it can kill a third-tier wolf demon with a single punch.

However, that wolf demon looked more like a "demon race qi master," with extremely strong offensive capabilities but relatively weak defensive capabilities.

"There are now 79 people left in the team, excluding the five people who are still on the list."

"We still have seventy-four men available."

Bai Nuo came over and started doing the statistics.

Many of the wounded who lost their lives in the initial battle on the third floor carried the bodies of the dead back with them.

That's why their team lost more than twenty people.

"The growth of the remaining people is visibly rapid."

Bai Nuo sighed.

Wang Qi then looked at the unshaven man next to Yu Junze and asked, "Who is that?"

He felt like he had seen this person somewhere before, and he also remembered the two short knives at his waist.

"We met the night Han Qiming was killed. It was Xie Chuzhi, the 'Flower Knife' of Taipei. He's very famous. He was a famous actress in Taipei when he was young, and later he learned a skill in disguise."

"I heard that he used this disguise technique to secretly learn a lot of skills."

Bai Nuo said, "A very remarkable person."

"That's a woman?" Wang Qi stared in disbelief.

"man."

Bai Nuo shook his head with a smile, "I heard that she looked like a woman when she was young, and only started to look like a man when she was seventeen or eighteen."

"So he's... gathering intelligence?"

Wang Qi asked again.

"I reckon so." Bai Nuo nodded.

"This third level is getting harder and harder to navigate." Peng Yunfan arrived late with his junior sister.

He looked like a drowned rat, his whole body covered in goosebumps.

"Poisoned?"

Wang Qi asked.

"A level three toad poison, the poison that splashed on me while I was digging up the corpse—and this is what happened."

"What bad luck."

Peng Yunfan said he was unlucky, but his face looked happy no matter how you looked at it.

This made Wang Qi even more convinced that this person definitely had masochistic tendencies.

"Fortunately, I took a detoxifying pill and I feel much better now."

"The third-tier and fourth-tier demons on this third level are no pushovers."

Peng Yunfan rambled on, "But they're only a little difficult each time; it feels like they can't keep up with our pace of progress."

"That's the feeling."

Bai Nuo nodded, "Although there were no fourth-tier demons this time, those third-tier ones—especially the wolf demon that can swallow and breathe fire—are rarely seen."

"The rarer it is, the more valuable it is."

Wang Qi calmly uttered three sentences.

He looked at the young martial artists and qi masters around him, his eyes filled with joy.

"But we still need to be careful, very careful."

Wang Qi gave instructions.

As they were talking, Chai Juntao, who was some distance away, handed two demon cores of the fire-devouring wolf demon to Wang Qi.

Thank you.

Wang Qi bowed and thanked him, then took out his own meat-cooking pot and started cooking.

Glug glug—.

The aroma began to waft out slowly.

This made Wang Qi feel better and better.

The feedback chain from killing demons in the Demon Cave was too rapid.

Each battle allows you to improve significantly.

It was dark here, and he had no idea how many hours had passed.

This made him feel a little uncertain.

However, based on the number of times I've used the power of insight, and the fact that I don't have any unusual physical condition, I've found that...

He estimated it would take at least two or three days.

break!

Wang Qi unleashed his power and saw through the demon core before him.

An ordinary, unremarkable purple color emerged.

[Flame-Swallowing Pill: An upgraded version of the 'Fire-Eating Wolf Demon,' the demon core of the fourth-tier great demon, the Flame-Swallowing Wolf Demon. After consumption, the five internal organs are refined by fire. After the great refinement, the internal organs are no longer disturbed by fire, and one can devour flames without side effects.]

(Note: The fire-refining process for the five internal organs will cause pain; please be mentally prepared.)

After consuming this Flame-Swallowing Pill, there will be no side effects when using the liver of the Fire-Hidden Bull Demon and the flesh of the Crimson Python Demon to transform into flames.

This can be considered practical, I suppose.

Wang Qi was somewhat uninterested.

Perhaps it was because he had seen too many good things during this trip to the Demon-Sealing Cave.

Therefore, I'm not particularly interested in purple-quality demon cores.

follow closely,

He looked at the second one.

break!

Foggy time,

Purple characters, burning with flames, appeared before Wang Qi.

Hey!

It even has special effects.

Wang Qi's eyes lit up as he was drawn to the changes before him.
