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

Chapter 95 A Fourth-Order Great Demon! The Terrifying Giant Elephant Demon Spear in a Desperate Struggle! (5k)

"Master Wang's exorcism techniques are not only advanced, but his offensive techniques have also impressed us."

The solemn expressions on Chai Juntao and the others relaxed.

As soon as the third-tier white-haired nine-legged insect demon died, the surrounding demons immediately showed signs of retreating.

The previously oppressive atmosphere suddenly relaxed.

"Why are you canceling now?"

Peng Yunfan looked at the scene before him with a suspicious expression.

"That shouldn't be the case. A third-tier white-haired nine-legged insect demon could never command so many demons."

"Why bother with all that? They've already retreated."

"The insect demon is dead too, let's just take the corpse and run."

Chai Juntao urged him on.

He felt his heart pounding.

I had a premonition that if I didn't leave soon, something bad might happen.

Peng Yunfan looked at Wang Qi, "Brother Wang, what do you think?"

"I?"

After looking around, Wang Qi saw that the killing intent in his eyes was indeed rapidly retreating in all directions, giving them breathing space and making way for them.

It's just based on my own exploration of the perception of killing intent.

If the target does not release any killing intent towards you, the killing intent perception will have no effect.

With their leader dead, would the fleeing "defeated soldiers" still have any killing intent?

Most will probably remain, but some will definitely be wiped out.

But these monsters before us...

It seems more like a well-organized tactical retreat.

Although he couldn't see what was happening further away, his intuition told him that this might be a trap.

"Brother Peng, do you have any other intelligence?"

Wang Qi asked the question.

"Which aspect are you referring to, Brother Wang?"

Peng Yunfan pondered for a moment, "I know there are three ways to retreat back to the first level, and the division of the demons' territories in the Demon Locking Cave also follows certain rules."

"Great demons of the same clan often live close to each other."

"Snake demons are mostly surrounded by snake demons, and insect demons are mostly surrounded by insect demons."

"In this area, there are many 'beehive caves' on both the upper and lower sides. The monsters here, besides insect monsters, should be rat monsters and slender snake monsters."

"We've come this far."

"Most of them are horned snake demons and venomous rats, but there may be more powerful demons in the future."

"It should also be due to the rise of these two kinds of demons."

"Third-tier Black Armored Rope Python Demon, Tiger-toothed Rat Demon—"

Peng Yunfan knew them all like the back of his hand.

Along the way, the martial artists of the Broken Tendon Hand lineage behind him probably couldn't even count how many demons he had killed.

But the eldest brother was able to remember every detail of the journey.

And then the derivation was performed.

Chai Juntao, Lu Siqi, and the others showed a mixture of shock and admiration in their eyes. He truly deserved to be called the senior brother.

"A third-tier Black Armored Rope Python Demon is like a heavily armored cavalryman in full armor. Once it charges, there is almost nothing in the same realm that can go head-to-head with it."

"Especially in these kinds of tunnels."

"The latter has an amazing bite force and can release potent venom from a pair of sharp teeth, just like a venomous snake."

"This is a third-tier monster—if there's a fourth-tier monster behind it."

"That's hard to say. I've only been down to the third level nine times, just to hang out and broaden my horizons. I don't know much about it."

Peng Yunfan spoke cautiously.

He also felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't figure out what the problem was.

I'm now also inclined to leave.

But Master Wang beside me...

It seems there's another idea?

He lay on the ground and listened carefully. Having moved the blood three times, Peng Yunfan, who was now able to see in all directions and hear everything, listened intently to the sounds.

The noisy retreat of the monsters had not yet ended.

The sounds came from all directions, but no useful information could be obtained.

"What are you all standing there for? Cut your losses first!"

Peng Yunfan gave instructions to his junior brothers and sisters.

The crowd slowly realized what was happening and quickly stepped forward.

Shedding fur, molting, cutting meat —

Wang Qi stepped over the corpses and returned to the open area where he had been before.

He peered forward step by step, his gaze fixed on the barely visible killing intent at the edge of his vision.

"They really didn't go far."

Wang Qi observed that the amount of killing intent within these caves was constantly changing.

I don't know if they're arranging troops or doing something else.

He came back.

Looking towards the end of the retreat route.

The crimson killing intent had completely blocked the way.

The killing intent piled up, seemingly forming a small mountain.

In contrast,

The killing intent in front of him is the least.

These underground demons have also resorted to military tactics!

"wrong!"

Wang Qi yelled at Peng Yunfan, "Stop cutting off any more flesh!"

"Leave now!"

Everyone's expression changed instantly.

"What's wrong?" Peng Yunfan asked Wang Qi.

"Those monsters are regrouping, and there is indeed a powerful demon behind them."

Wang Qi spoke.

After leaving...

Peng Yunfan had just opened his mouth when Wang Qi interrupted him, "We can't go to the back."

"Go first!"

"Is there a road ahead that you recognize? One that you can use to get out of there?"

Wang Qi pressed for further details.

"The leftmost path!" Peng Yunfan gritted his teeth. "That's the lair of the third-tier white-haired nine-legged insect demon."

"There are three paths inside the nest, one of which leads out."

"Then let's go!"

Wang Qi didn't ask any further questions, because some of those "killing intents" had already begun to approach.

Peng Yunfan seemed to have figured something out at that moment.

He called to his junior brothers and sisters, who were carrying meat and insect hairs, and quickly followed.

Peng Yunfan was still leading the way, with Wang Qi in the middle.

Having learned from the experience with the wolf fur last time.

The group had clearly grown, silently passing each other third-tier insect hairs, stuffing them into their clothes, and finally hastily sewing them up with long insect hairs.

The whole process was extremely fast.

But what came even faster was the fear in everyone's hearts.

The tremors came from all directions, as if some unknown behemoth was attacking them from their original retreat route.

It was accompanied by a harsh, scraping sound.

"What is that?"

Chai Juntao, who stayed at the very back, looked towards the cave entrance where they had been and murmured to himself.

Numerous sparks flickered in the tunnel where they had originally retreated, illuminating the dark passage and revealing the source of the strange noise to everyone.

A monster with barbs all over its face, whose species was impossible to discern.

It filled the entire tunnel.

He lay on the ground and swallowed the remaining half of the white-haired nine-legged insect demon's corpse in a few bites.

It's like eating noodles.

Slurp it down.

Subsequently,

It looked around, seemingly a little puzzled.

Then it lay down on the ground, sniffed lightly, and immediately headed towards the direction where everyone was.

It started running.

Like a warhorse charging forward at full speed, its sharp barbs whipped up the flesh and blood on the ground.

Vibrating,

A demon that seems to come with its own blood rain effect.

"Luckily, we didn't retreat from there."

When Chai Juntao saw this scene, his legs went weak.

He felt fortunate.

If they had gone through that cave, they would surely be strung together like candied hawthorns by this monster.

Thinking of this, he almost fell to the ground while kneeling.

And behind them,

The junior brother who was about to help him saw this scene and immediately let out a shrill scream.

"Don't shout!"

Chai Juntao let out a low roar, but it was already too late.

The group, who had been focused on moving forward, all turned around and saw the monster charging towards them at high speed.

Flesh and blood, along with a series of sparks rising from the friction, accompanied by a ferocious giant monster running at high speed, filling the entire cave passage.

And those barbs, like instruments of torture, gleaming with a cold light, so dense they were impenetrable.

A feeling of suffocation gripped everyone's hearts.

The martial artists of their Tendon-Severing Hand lineage are absolutely incapable of dealing with such a monster.

Moreover, among the cave demons who are generally very small in size.

Someone with this body type—...

It's probably a fourth-tier demon.

It will take time.

The team seemed to have lost its composure.

These young warriors, who were not very worldly to begin with and had keen intuition, now sensed a strong aura of death.

Bad news, one bad news after another.

Peng Yunfan, who was in charge, also slowed down his pace.

With a muffled thud.

Blood flowed from the front of the line, trickling down at everyone's feet.

With the support of his surging internal energy, Peng Yunfan pierced through the roadside rat demon that was half a person tall with one hand.

Along with its fur and some of the fine scales that have grown out.

Peng Yunfan pulled his arm out of the body.

Those shattered, fish-scale-like armor plates covered his entire hand.

"Senior brother."

Lu Siqi's voice was trembling with tears.

She naturally understood that her senior brother had been injured out of necessity in order to finish the battle quickly.

"Hurry up."

Peng Yunfan's voice was icy cold, as if devoid of emotion.

He started to show his power.

His hands were like two of the sharpest short guns in the world, capable of piercing through anyone who met his gaze.

With a pull and a tug, the monster's major tendons are pulled out, causing it to either die suddenly or lose its ability to move on the spot.

His running speed was in no way weaker than that of the fourth-tier rat demon behind him.

The same applies to whoever comes and whoever dies.

They couldn't even last a single glance.

The surging blood energy from the three blood transfusions surged within his body, bringing his combat power to its peak.

This scene,

This left his junior classmates dumbfounded and bewildered.

"To forcibly sever its tendons is also to break them; the spine is also called a hard tendon."

"This is the ultimate level of our 'tendon-severing hand' technique! Hard disarming!"

Peng Yunfan can even make jokes.

However, the murderous intent in his words was too strong, making it impossible to laugh.

"Senior brother, your hands are covered in blood—."

The junior sister ran away with a sob in her voice.

"It's alright."

Peng Yunfan said casually, "Do you really think all those beatings I took were for nothing?"

"That was all training, all for this moment."

As they were speaking,

The senior disciple of the Tendon-Severing Hand lineage has already led everyone out of the pit.

They arrived at what should have been the lair of the white-haired nine-legged insect demon.

"Go to the left!"

Peng Yunfan quickly walked to the left, and then...

His expression changed.

cave passage,

It's blocked!

The cave entrance was piled high with corpses, so thick that there wasn't a single gap.

And behind them,

The horde of demons and the fourth-tier demon with its sparks and blood "special effects" were getting closer and closer.

A dead end—

Peng Yunfan's face also turned pale.

Did they still fall into the trap of the fourth-tier monster?

On his arms, the tiny, fish-scale-like scales embedded in his flesh had replaced his original arm guards, turning them into fish-scale arm guards.

Fresh blood flowed down his arm like water.

He took out two small bottles from his pocket, opened them, and poured them all into his mouth.

"Brother Wang."

He spoke to Wang Qi, who hadn't said a word the whole way.

"Can you still hold on?"

Wang Qi suddenly asked a question in return.

"That fourth-tier demon is the natural enemy of our lineage—" Peng Yunfan gave a bitter laugh.

"I meant the remaining two holes."

Wang Qi spoke calmly as he slowly drew the large spear that he had been carrying on his back as a burden.

"able!"

Peng Yunfan seemed to realize something and nodded through gritted teeth.

"Then, follow my instructions."

Wang Qi said.

"Brother Wang, please speak," Peng Yunfan said without the slightest hesitation.

"Two people will dig the hole."

Wang Qi spoke, "You two guard the remaining two holes."

"I'm here to kill that fourth-tier hedgehog demon."

"OK?""

Peng Yunfan was stunned. Was it not to stop him, but to kill him?

"How confident are you, Brother Wang?"

"In a life-or-death struggle, how can one speak of having a sure thing?"

Wang Qi paused for a moment, then continued.

"I don't know if I can live, but it will definitely die."

Wang Qi's voice carried an unquestionable confidence.

Peng Yunfan had no idea where Wang Qi's confidence came from.

Or,

Wang Qi himself didn't know where this confidence came from.

He just felt that

You are the hunter.

I will do everything I can to kill this fourth-tier monster.

"good!"

Having said all that, Peng Yunfan naturally had nothing more to say.

He simply watched as Wang Qi walked towards the cave with the increasingly clear sizzling sound.

Wang Qi was among them.

Feeling the vibrations coming from under my feet.

The spear was pointed forward.

Wang Qi took a deep breath, feeling the golden dragon vibrating in his chest.

His aura began to rise steadily.

Internal energy circulates throughout the body.

It permeates into every inch of the body, blood, bones, and flesh.

Every muscle in Wang Qi's body greedily absorbed and grew!

strength!

strength!

strength!

In Wang Qi's eyes, it seemed as if demonic energy and dragon energy were rising and intertwining at the same time.

He began to silently recite the incantation of the Dragon Elephant Secret Martial Arts.

And in front of the other two tunnels.

Peng Yunfan was retreating steadily, going more than ten meters into the cave.

They were driven out by the surging monsters.

He overestimated himself at this moment.

They also underestimated the number of these monsters.

Hundreds of tiny, low-level insect and rat demons surged forth from above, below, left, and right of the cave like a black torrent.

They bit him, burrowed into his body.

Even though he often gets beaten up, and even though he enjoys getting beaten up...

I also found it hard to bear the pain of being bitten by thousands of ants.

clap clap clap!

He swatted the monsters to death one by one.

He glanced at his junior brothers and sisters guarding the other cave entrance. Their situation was no worse than his; they were already showing signs of being overwhelmed and were about to release the demon to move the corpses and dig the cave.

But more often,

They still wanted to block Wang Qi's escape route.

"You may die, but before you die, you absolutely cannot let a single demon go to Wang Qi!"

He roared.

He charged forward first.

Only after Wang Qi killed the fourth-tier demon did they have a sliver of hope.

If not,

Then all of them will have to be buried here.

He unleashed all his strength and charged toward the cave where Wang Qi was.

Even the two men who were digging the tunnel gave up and started to defend.

The original formation was instantly destroyed.

Peng Yunfan and the others became a protective shield behind Wang Qi.

Inside the cave passage

The vibrations were already very close.

The fourth-tier demon seemed to have sensed Wang Qi's unusual nature as well.

After turning the corner, gather your strength in place.

The vibration stopped for only a moment.

next moment,

The fourth-tier demon immediately charged forward with even greater ferocity.

Countless sharp spikes struck the stone dragon-patterned wall, and brilliant sparks, accompanied by a demonic roar, revealed its true form.

Dragon Elephant Secret Martial Arts - Great Demonic Power.

First level.

boom!

Suddenly, black mist rose from beneath Wang Qi's feet.

A pitch-black shadow emanated from within.

It spread recklessly in all directions.

The wails of ghosts filled the air.

The world that was once reflected in my pupils now seems to have intruded into reality.

The black mist vibrated, seemingly penetrating the stone dragon-patterned wall in an instant and entering other passageways.

Behind Wang Qi,

In that desperate battlefield.

The densely packed monsters were instantly thrown into a state of panic and disorientation.

Some of them turned belly up and foamed at the mouth.

Some abandoned their immediate goal and fled into the distance.

Just a moment,

The desperate, intense offensive had disappeared from their surroundings.

only,

Peng Yunfan was not happy at all.

Because of this moment,

A tremendous fear rose within him, making him want to kneel down and run away.

Snapped!

He immediately inserted a needle into his thigh.

Then two more injections in a row!

It was only through immense pain that he regained his senses.

"Keep your mind focused!"

"Pierce your own leg!"

He spoke, but it was too late.

The junior disciples around them had already run far away, and like those demons, they were pale-faced, trembling, and hiding in the corner, panting heavily.

Even the junior brother with the lowest cultivation level was tightly embracing a wolf demon.

It's truly a spectacular sight.

just,

Nobody cares about these things right now.

And all of this,

It was actually completed in just a few moments.

As for the person who started all of this.

Inside the cave,

Wang Qi watched as the black dragon aura slowly emerged from the tip of the spear.

There are also the wailing, wronged souls that entangle him all over.

A forced smile appeared on his face.

Giant Elephant Demon Gun!

A spear thrust out.

The black dragon and the vengeful spirits that clung to its body rushed away, becoming entangled the instant they left the spear tip.

The stone dragon patterned wall in front of us seemed to have disappeared.

Heaven and earth transformed into a vast wilderness.

Only a giant black elephant covered in mysterious runes remained.

Compared to the giant elephant, the fourth-tier demon was incredibly small.

boom!

A massive object struck.

Like a torrent pouring down, rolling and stretching endlessly.

The sound of cracking, breaking, and shattering.

Incessantly.

Wang Qiru listened to the celestial music with a look of pure enjoyment.

And deep down,

Only on that secret martial arts text, the words concerning the first level echoed.

"Driven by the Great Demonic Power of the Dragon and Elephant, it transforms into dragon energy. Once activated, the demonic energy surrounds the body, like a wicked god playing music."

Disrupts the mind. Like a heavy spear, its power can shatter all laws—

"Ha ha ha ha-..""

Wang Qi looked up at the sky and laughed loudly.

same.

So what if it's a fourth-tier great demon?!

I'll just take them all out with one shot!

Blood flowed from the front, passing underfoot.

The spear in his hand shattered with a crack, the spearhead completely disappeared, and the shaft was reduced to the length of a short stick.

Clearly, its strength was completely insufficient to withstand the shot fired by the Dragon Elephant Secret Weapon, rendering it useless in one blow.

That's normal.

After all, even a fourth-tier demon couldn't withstand this attack.

How could I possibly afford a gun that cost more than ten taels of silver?

Wang Qi lowered his head and picked up a long thorn that grew on the body of this fourth-order demon.

Just as I was about to get up,

There's just one superb underfoot.

in front of you,

In an instant, everything went completely dark.

A demonic aura seemed to rise in his mind, as if it were about to take over his thoughts.

This,

It seems to be a side effect of firing that shot.

He gritted his teeth and growled, "I'm an exorcist!"

"Evil energy can only be treated with tonics!"
