Chapter 206: A Case of Mistaken Identity

Boom!

Two earth-shattering forces collided!

Inside the cave, a shockwave like a mountain collapse and tsunami erupted, spreading out in all directions.

Bang! Just as the many little demons in the valley were staring in astonishment, atop the main peak—

The mountain body shook violently, then halfway up the slope a large hole exploded open, and a massive figure flew backward like a cannonball, crashing heavily onto the valley floor.

In an instant, dust flew everywhere, and mountain rocks shattered and scattered.

When the dust and smoke gradually dispersed, the demons focused their gaze and were immediately terrified.

Looking at the scarred demonic body on the ground, wasn't this their Young Master, my lord? They saw that the purple-furred, second-stage peak Earth-Shaking Giant Bear had several shocking wounds splitting its right Xiong Zhang, and threads of demonic blood were seeping from the corners of its mouth.

On the ground.

The Earth-Shaking Giant Bear's head rang from being pounded against the earth; it shook its huge head abruptly, unable to comprehend that a human cultivator could injure it using only physical strength!

Its eyes also revealed an expression of disbelief.

Rumble-rumble! Before the Earth-Shaking Giant Bear could recover its senses, a huge blood-colored figure suddenly leaped out from the cave entrance.

The four blood-colored long arms behind it, brimming with explosive power, fell like raindrops, smashing down toward the Earth-Shaking Giant Bear on the ground!

Roar! The Earth-Shaking Giant Bear suddenly surged up from the ground, letting out a furious roar; a power of Lei Ting filled its entire body, its form changed abruptly, instantly swelling to over twenty zhang in size, and in that instant its might soared to the heavens!

Seeing this, Qin Ming's gaze turned sharp; he fully activated his Qi Blood True Gang, and the blood-colored Demonic Ape illusory image on his body instantly swelled, likewise growing to over twenty zhang in size, matching the giant bear opposite him.

Below, the first-stage little demons and several second-stage great demon chiefs looked up at the two colossal beasts before them, trembling and hesitating, none daring to advance.

If they carelessly got caught up in the battle between the two sides, they would be crushed to ash in minutes.

Boom-crack!

The second-stage peak Earth-Shaking Giant Bear swept both palms toward the sky, and a purple falling thunder rapidly condensed in the air.

The Earth-Shaking Giant Bear set aside its underestimation and unleashed its strongest innate bloodline talent divine ability.

Lei Ting flashed, radiating formidable might; from the glimmer of the Lei Mang alone, Qin Ming could feel that this demonic technique possessed considerable power.

The purple thunder crashed down from the sky, striking toward Qin Ming.

Seeing this, Qin Ming held nothing back; his gaze instantly hardened! The double pupils of the blood-colored Demonic Ape suddenly merged, and a scarlet mysterious light abruptly erupted from both pupils, sweeping toward the demonic technique unleashed by the Earth-Shaking Giant Bear.

"Law-Breaking Double Pupils!"

Swish! The instant the scarlet mysterious light passed over, the purple thunder in the sky was eerily frozen midair, as if time had stopped.

Crack!

Qin Ming's innate gang qi erupted fiercely; the scarlet mysterious light within his double pupils suddenly flared bright, and in an instant swept away the purple thunder, turning it all into bubbles that vanished without a trace! The second-stage peak Earth-Shaking Giant Bear, witnessing this scene, displayed an expression of incredulity.

Crackling-pop!

This time, before it could recover from its shock—

Qin Ming, transformed into the blood-colored four-armed Demonic Ape, clenched all four fists again, crossed a distance of over a hundred zhang, and struck horizontally toward the Earth-Shaking Giant Bear opposite!

Rumble-rumble! Howl! The Earth-Shaking Giant Bear could not withstand the blood-colored four-armed Demonic Ape's attacks, which carried terrifying, mountain-toppling and sea-overturning force.

Puchi!

Demonic blood continuously sprayed forth, scattering down like rain.

Deep within the Beast Cry Mountain Range, inside the Earth-Shaking Bear clan's valley, the many little demons watching this scene all displayed expressions of terror.

The other two second-stage great demons of the Bear Demon clan rushed forward desperately to aid their Young Master, only to be smashed to death by a single punch from Qin Ming.

At this moment, Qin Ming was like a tiger among sheep, slaughtering these demonic beasts at will.

Even the strongest, the second-stage peak Earth-Shaking Giant Bear, was no match for him; the remaining demons, no matter how numerous, were like ants before the mountain-sized blood-colored Demonic Ape.

The Earth-Shaking Giant Bear grew more fearful with each exchange.

Today, the Demon King of the Bear clan had led the clan's generals to attack the human Yunze Xiancheng.

Now, within Bear King Valley, only it, at second-stage peak, remained to hold the fort, with just a few second-stage early and mid-stage great demons left behind.

The backbone of the Earth-Shaking Bear Demon clan had all followed the third-stage Demon King to the front lines; before departing, its father, the Demon King, had instructed it that this battle was crucial and that they must capture that human Yunze Xiancheng.

Therefore, within Bear King Valley, almost no high-level combat power had been left behind.

It had thought that with its second-stage peak strength, aside from a third-stage Demon King, it was sufficient to dominate the Beast Cry Mountain Range.

Yet it never expected to be ruthlessly crushed by this human cultivator who had suddenly appeared.

Its proudly formidable physical body, before this opponent, shattered at a single touch, utterly defenseless! As Qin Ming employed the second transformation of True Gang Transformation, his innate gang qi was also being consumed rapidly.

Being in a dangerous place, he also realized he must conclude the battle quickly.

Thinking thus, Qin Ming immediately activated the secret method from the "Yuan Sha Seed Demon True Scripture."

"True Demon Illusory Image!"

The three pitch-black demon runes he had nurtured in his consciousness sea vanished in an instant.

Boom! The second-stage peak Earth-Shaking Giant Bear was exerting all its strength to resist the attacks of Qin Ming transformed into the Demonic Ape. Suddenly!

Combining the various abilities of the opposing Demonic Ape, the Earth-Shaking Giant Bear suddenly recalled.

Wasn't this the Double-Pupiled Demonic Ape of the Mountain-Sized Giant Ape clan, the undisputed hegemon of the Beast Cry Mountain Range, whose second-stage peak cultivation could rival the human Jin Dan stage?

Just as the Earth-Shaking Giant Bear was pondering this—

Roar! Roar! Roar! The blood-colored Demonic Ape before its eyes suddenly split into three! Three identical Demonic Apes swung their terrifying fists, attacking it from all sides.

It naturally assumed the human cultivator opposite had used an illusion technique.

It immediately unleashed a probe of its demonic sense, but the next scene made it greatly shocked.

The three blood-colored giant shadows before it were exactly alike; there was no way to distinguish true from false.

Qin Ming's gaze hardened; he gathered power in his four arms, and while the two illusory images distracted and divided the Earth-Shaking Giant Bear's attention—

The blood-colored giant fist smashed heavily onto the Earth-Shaking Giant Bear's head! Puchi!

Demonic blood filled the sky, scattering down like a rain of blood.

Qin Ming struck with full force, his crimson fist shadow smashing the head of this second-stage peak bear demon, and immediately after, he yanked a huge blue demon core from the bear demon's skull.

Boom!

The Earth-Shaking Giant Bear's massive body, devoid of life, collapsed dejectedly, kicking up countless clouds of dust.

The minor demons nearby, seeing this, trembled one after another in fear, realizing that even their strongest young master had been crushed to death.

They all prepared to scatter and flee in every direction.

Qin Ming's gaze turned cold! He recalled the beast tide attacking Yunze Xiancheng, where countless cultivators lost their lives to beast mouths, and he further remembered Liang's tragic end.

"Hmph! Since we've already killed them, we might as well go all the way!"

"Today, I will wipe out this entire nest of bear demons!"

Qin Ming immediately circulated his magic power, pointed a finger toward the sky, and—Rumble! A black cloud covering dozens of miles formed instantly high above! Lightning flashed and thunder roared within it, followed by a pouring downpour.

It was precisely the 'Yin Sha Cold Rain' of the Thorn Art that Qin Ming had unleashed! As the Yin Sha Cold Rain fell, the demonic beasts below collapsed in groups like straw.

Forming into beads of blood one by one.

From this single wave alone, Qin Ming harvested thousands of blood beads from low-stage demonic beasts, as well as several blood beads from early second-stage great demons.

In just a brief moment, through the coordination of the Yin Winged Frost Bees and Qin Ming, the old nest of the Earth-Shaking Bear demon clan was blood-washed and slaughtered clean.

Regarding that strongest Earth-Shaking Giant Bear, Qin Ming also cast the Thorn Art upon it, harvesting a huge second-stage peak blood bead.

His innate spiritual plant, the Longevity Vine, was on the verge of breaking through, so Qin Ming planned to feed it to the spiritual plant to see if it could assist in its advancement.

Afterwards.

After performing a soul search on a second-stage bear demon, Qin Ming was frightened into breaking out in a cold sweat.

"This is damn dangerous!"

"Fortunately, the Demon King took most of the main force to Canghai Xiancheng, leaving the old nest empty except for this one second-stage peak bear demon."

"Otherwise, I would really be dead!"

Having accomplished all this, Qin Ming dared not linger, mounted his Silver-Yin Yi Shuangfeng, and departed from here at maximum speed, swift as wind and lightning.

On the other side, at the outskirts of Canghai Xiancheng.

The beast tide was continuously launching assaults against the city's formation, which was now in imminent danger of collapse.

But just at this moment.

The third-stage Earth-Shaking Xiong Wang, which was bombarding the great formation, suddenly felt a thumping sensation of dread in its mind!

Only a few breaths later.

Its eyes revealed a look of shock! Roar! It immediately disregarded the attack on Canghai Xiancheng, ordered its demon clan to retreat rapidly, and swiftly withdrew in the direction of the Beast Cry Mountain Range.

"$#&! Damn it! No way?!"

"What is Old Bear up to?!"

"Why did it run? Dropping the ball at the critical moment?"

Noticing that something was wrong.

The Shi Tian Shu Demon King, while locked in fierce battle with Canghai True Person, cursed loudly.
