Chapter 248: Accidental Coincidence

BOOM!

Two earth-shattering forces collided!

Inside the cave, a tidal wave of shockwave erupted and spread outward in all directions.

CRASH! Just as the lesser demons in the valley were stunned, they saw the main peak.

The mountain body shook violently, then a massive hole exploded open halfway up its flank—a huge body shot out like a cannonball and slammed onto the valley floor.

Instantly, dust and rocks flew everywhere.

As the dust slowly cleared, the demons stared—and were terrified.

Staring at the battered demon body on the ground—wasn't that their Young Master? The two-star peak Earthshaker Bear, its purple fur matted with blood, had deep, horrifying wounds across its right paw, and crimson demon blood trickled from its mouth.

On the ground.

The Earthshaker Bear's head rang like a bell; it shook its massive head violently—it simply couldn't believe a human cultivator could injure it with sheer physical strength alone!

Its eyes betrayed utter disbelief.

RUMBLE! Before the Earthshaker Bear could recover, a massive crimson figure leapt out from the cave entrance.

Its four crimson arms, brimming with explosive power, rained down like hail upon the Earthshaker Bear below!

ROAR! The Earthshaker Bear surged upward from the ground, roaring in fury—thunderous energy surged through its body, its form instantly swelling to over twenty zhang tall, radiating overwhelming might!

Qin Ming's gaze sharpened; he unleashed all his blood qi and true Gang. The crimson demonic monkey shadow on his body surged violently, also expanding to over twenty zhang tall—equal in size to the opposing bear.

The one-star lesser demons and several two-star demon commanders looked up, trembling, hesitant to advance.

One misstep into this battle, and they'd be crushed to ash in an instant.

BOOM-KRAK!

The two-star peak Earthshaker Bear raised both paws skyward—purple lightning rapidly coalesced in midair.

The Earthshaker Bear abandoned its underestimation and unleashed its strongest innate bloodline ability.

Lightning crackled, radiating terrifying power; merely from the flickering glow, Qin Ming sensed the demonic technique's immense strength.

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

Seeing this, Qin Ming no longer held back—he narrowed his eyes! The crimson double pupils of the demonic monkey merged instantly—a crimson divine light erupted from them, sweeping toward the bear's demonic technique.

"Break-Magic Double Pupils!"

SWISH! As the crimson divine light passed, the purple lightning in midair froze unnaturally, as if time had stopped.

CRACK!

Qin Ming's primordial true Gang exploded violently—the crimson light in his pupils flared, instantly obliterating the purple lightning, turning it into nothing but bubbles that vanished! The two-star peak Earthshaker Bear stared, utterly incredulous.

ZAP-ZAP!

Before it could recover from its shock,

Qin Ming's four-armed crimson demonic monkey swung its four arms again, crossing over a hundred zhang to strike the Earthshaker Bear with crushing force!

RUMBLE! ROAR! The Earthshaker Bear could not withstand the overwhelming, mountain-crushing blows of the crimson four-armed monkey.

SPLAT!

Demon blood sprayed everywhere, falling like rain.

Deep in the Beast Roar Mountains, in the Earthshaker Bear clan's valley, the lesser demons stared, filled with terror.

The other two two-star demon commanders of the bear clan rushed to aid their Young Master—only to be crushed by Qin Ming's fist.

Qin Ming now moved like a tiger among sheep, slaughtering the demonic beasts without mercy.

Even the strongest two-star peak Earthshaker Bear was no match—what use were the rest, no matter how numerous, before a mountain-sized crimson demonic monkey?

The Earthshaker Bear grew more terrified with every strike.

Today, the Bear King had led the clan's elite forces to assault the human immortal city.

Now, in Bear King Valley, only this two-star peak bear remained, with only a few two-star early- and mid-stage commanders left behind.

The core strength of the Earthshaker Bear clan had all marched to the frontlines with the three-star demon king; his father had warned him before leaving: this battle was critical—they must seize the human immortal city.

Thus, the Bear King Valley held almost no high-level combat power.

He had believed his two-star peak strength, aside from a three-star demon king, was enough to dominate the Beast Roar Mountains.

Yet he'd been mercilessly crushed by this sudden human cultivator.

His prized, formidable body shattered like glass before the enemy! Qin Ming's second transformation of True Gang Manifestation drained his primordial true Gang rapidly.

Aware he was in danger, he realized he must end this swiftly.

Qin Ming decided—he activated the secret technique from the "Primordial Demon Seed Scripture."

"Illusion of the True Demon!"

The three black demonic runes nurtured in his spiritual sea vanished instantly.

BOOM! The two-star peak Earthshaker Bear was straining to resist Qin Ming's demonic monkey assault—when suddenly,

The Earthshaker Bear, recalling the demonic monkey's abilities, suddenly remembered.

Isn't this the Double-Pupil Demonic Monkey of the Mountain Giant Ape clan? The undisputed lord of the Beast Roar Mountains, whose two-star peak cultivation could rival a human Jin Dan cultivator!

As the Earthshaker Bear pondered,

ROAR! ROAR! ROAR! The crimson demonic monkey before it split into three! Three identical demonic monkeys swung their terrifying fists, surrounding and attacking it!

He instinctively thought the human cultivator had used an illusion technique.

He immediately probed with his demonic sense—but what he saw shocked him.

The three crimson giant shadows were identical—no trace of falsehood could be found.

Qin Ming narrowed his eyes, his four arms coiling with power, using the two illusions to distract and divide the Earthshaker Bear's attention.

The crimson fist smashed into the Earthshaker Bear's head! SPLAT!

Demon blood rained down like crimson rain.

Qin Ming's crimson fist struck with full force, blasting the two-star peak bear's head apart—then he tore out a massive blue demonic core from its skull.

BOOM!

The Earthshaker Bear's massive body collapsed, lifeless, kicking up clouds of dust.

The nearby lesser demons trembled violently—they saw even their strongest Young Master crushed to death.

They all scrambled to flee in every direction.

Qin Ming's gaze turned icy—he remembered the demonic horde's assault on the immortal city, the countless cultivators devoured, and Lü Liang's tragic end.

"Hmph! Since I've killed one, I might as well kill them all!"

"Today, I'll wipe out every last one of you bear demons!"

Qin Ming immediately channeled his magic power, pointing skyward—RUMBLE! A black cloud spanning dozens of li formed instantly high above—lightning flashed, thunder roared, then torrential rain poured down.

It was Qin Ming's "Yin Sha Cold Rain," a variation of the Thorns Technique! As the Yin Sha Cold Rain fell, the demonic beasts below collapsed like straw.

Forming into droplets of blood.

In this single wave alone, Qin Ming collected thousands of low-grade demonic blood droplets and several from two-star early-stage commanders.

In mere moments, under the coordinated assault of the Yin Wing Frost Bees and Qin Ming, the Earthshaker Bear clan's stronghold was utterly purged.

Qin Ming also applied the Thorns Technique to the strongest Earthshaker Bear, harvesting a massive two-star peak blood droplet.

His lifeblood plant, the Everlasting Vine, was on the verge of breakthrough—he planned to feed it this droplet, to see if it could trigger evolution.

Afterwards,

After performing soul-searching on a two-star bear demon, Qin Ming broke into a cold sweat.

"Damn, that was too close!"

"Thank the heavens the Demon King took most of the elite forces to Canghai Immortal City—the den was empty, with only this one two-star peak bear!"

"Otherwise, I'd be dead!"

Having finished, Qin Ming didn't linger—he mounted the Silver Wing Frost Bee and fled at top speed.

…

Elsewhere, beyond Canghai Immortal City,

The demonic horde relentlessly battered the city's defensive array—it was on the verge of collapse.

Yet at that moment,

The three-star Earthshaker Bear King, who was smashing the great array, suddenly felt a jolt of dread in his mind!

Only a few breaths later,

His eyes widened in shock! ROAR! He immediately abandoned his assault on Canghai Immortal City, ordering his demonic clan to retreat swiftly toward the Beast Roar Mountains.

"#$%! What the hell?!"

"What's Old Bear doing?!"

"Why's he running? Backstabbing at the critical moment?!"

Sensing the situation had turned,

The Sky-Devouring Rat King, locked in battle with the Canghai True Person, cursed furiously.
