Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

The miserable screams gradually dissipated, and the Yin Evil Qi surrounding the Nine-Headed Insect slowly retracted; its eight insect heads shook impatiently, shaking off the adhering essence blood and minced flesh.

He lowered his head and glanced over the traces remaining on the ground, his human face full of fierce hostility, yet he did not linger long; he turned and became a black shadow, once again rushing into the depths of Qiong Valley.

The Nine-Headed Centipede Banyan Core was imminent; he had to find it racing against time, absolutely could not be disturbed by outside forces again.

Not far away, Xu Qiansui stood like a withered tree, his aura completely concealed.

As a puppet, his vision was shared with his master; the process of the Nine-Headed Insect slaughtering the Evil Cultivators just now, Xu Zhangqing saw clearly.

The Nine-Headed Insect's appearance, especially that human face, always made him feel familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, yet he could not recall it for a moment.

Just as he pondered back and forth, he suddenly froze.

"Wait……"

"This face, it seems to be Eldest Senior Sister's grandfather!"

"The Luo River Bei Clan Leader, Bei Cangxuan!"

Back then, because of Wangwang's lifespan issue, Xu Zhangqing followed Eldest Senior Sister to the Luo River once, not only learning the Bei Clan's origins but also obtaining the Bloodline Grafting Secret Art.

Although so many years had passed and it was only a single encounter, he still recognized him.

Xu Zhangqing's heart suddenly cleared: "No wonder his strength is so tyrannical; so it is him."

The Wu Sheng Chong Mu is a hidden titan, controlling numerous Spirit Insect Cultivators under her command.

But previously, there had never been talk of a figure like the Nine-Headed Insect.

It was later, after the Wu Sheng Chong Mu went to the Yaoguang Nine Domains, that the other party emerged.

Now, all clues were linked together.

No wonder a statue of Bei Cangxuan was enshrined underground in the Bei Clan.

It turned out this person had already defected to the Wu Sheng Chong Mu, becoming the current Nine-Headed Insect.

Moreover, the other party had already been at the Nascent Soul Perfection realm a hundred years ago, even only a step away from Spirit Transformation.

But for some unknown reason he never broke through, and later so many things happened.

Now knowing the other party's identity, Xu Zhangqing's expression turned solemn.

First, the Nine-Headed Insect's own combat power is extremely terrifying, and with the Wu Sheng Chong Mu as backing, if he truly seizes the Banyan Core and opens the Mayfly Sacrifice to break through to Spirit Transformation, the consequences are unthinkable.

Second, the reason Wangwang survived ultimately relied on the Luo River Bei Clan's inheritance secret art; therefore the Bei Clan owes him a bit of kindness.

Xu Zhangqing thought secretly: "I must wait for the avatar to arrive and merge, then strike with peak Extreme Grade Nascent Soul combat power, only then will there be certainty to slay him."

Immediately, he sent an order to Xu Qiansui, telling him to continue hiding in the Rotten Moss Plain, closely monitoring the Nine-Headed Insect's movements, while he himself would patiently wait for the avatar's arrival.

……

……

Central Region, Immortal Falling Abyss.

Deep within the Corroding Bone Forest Sea.

Gray mist permeated the forest, shrouding the twisted trees in vague visibility.

On the ground, broken weapons and huge skeletons could be seen everywhere; the air mixed with rotten stench and bloody odor.

Wind wrapped fragmented whispers, drilling into the cultivators' ears, attempting to disturb their minds.

Xu Ping'an led the seven-person Hunting Demon Team, currently standing beside a fallen giant demon tree.

It was the Blood Thorn Demon Tree King of this place, with about a thousand years of Dao Xing.

The tree trunk was thick as a vat, its branches covered in sharp Dao Guan.

It had now lost vitality, all the Dao Guan withered and blackened.

The fierce battle just now left everyone uninjured, yet also consumed considerable mana.

Li Yueyao took out the Premium Pills she carried and distributed them to everyone.

As the person with the lowest cultivation in the team, she absolutely could not drag them down.

Shi Feng stepped forward, swung his fist smashing into the demon tree trunk, extracting a red core hidden in the tree heart, and handed it to Xu Ping'an: "This is the Blood Thorn Demon Tree King's heart, a good material, can be refined into a control-type Magic Tool."

Xu Ping'an took the core, fingertips rubbing the surface patterns, nodded and said: "I'll keep it for now; after returning to the outpost, we'll handle it then."

Li Yueyao leaned in close, curiously asking: "Where to next?"

Xu Ping'an pondered: "Adding this Blood Thorn Demon Tree King, we've already hunted three thousand-year Great Demons; we should tally resources and return."

Jiang Weirui stood at the team's edge, vigilantly scanning the surroundings: "Everyone be careful, the Fu Ling Mist is getting thicker."

She is proficient in Poison Technique and detoxification methods, and her divine ability is also something similar.

Therefore her perception of this sort is the sharpest among everyone.

Fenglong suddenly looked elsewhere, raised an eyebrow and said: "There's movement in the mist!"

As soon as his voice fell, the ground suddenly trembled, the Fu Ling Mist surged wildly, twisted trees swayed one after another, as if a giant beast was passing through.

The whispers became increasingly piercing, mixed with deep roars, one after another coming from the depths of the forest sea, shaking everyone's eardrums painfully.

Xu Ping'an's eyes narrowed: "This commotion is absolutely not something a Great Demon could cause."

"Demon King?"

Fenglong's mouth corner hooked an arc: "Right on time!"

Accompanying a group of kids, hunting hundred-year and thousand-year level monsters here.

Actually no different from playing house; however boring it could be, it was that boring.

If it truly is Demon King level, that would be a bit interesting.

Afterward, everyone formed a defense array.

Shi Feng stood at the very front, holding a heavy shield, Earth Qi gathering around him, transforming into a thick protective shield.

Xu Ping'an and Fenglong took positions on both sides, ready to attack at any moment.

Su Qinghan and Li Yueyao were both behind, prepared for crowd control and coordination.

Mo Chen stood in the center, holding a healing magic tool jade bottle, ready to help at any time.

Jiang Weirui released Spirit Mist, enveloping the entire team, resisting toxin attacks.

A moment later, a colossal creature charged out from the Fu Ling Mist, appearing before everyone.

This demon beast resembled a rhinoceros, yet its entire body was covered in pitch-black scales, red liquid seeping from the gaps between scales, emitting a pungent stench.

The single horn on its head was twisted and black, containing the power of corruption.

Its eyes were blood-red, full of blood traces.

Four limbs stepping on the ground, each step could shatter the earth.

Shi Feng recognized it at a glance, crying out in alarm: "Corroding Bone Dragon Rhino!"

This is one of the Demon Kings in the Corroding Bone Forest Sea, its strength extremely powerful.

It is not only a Demon King level monster, its body also contains Dragon Rhino bloodline and the power of corruption.

Moreover its skin is rough and flesh thick, defense astonishing.

Its mouth can also spray Corroding Bone Poison Flames, power boundless.

It appearing here may have been attracted by the Blood Thorn Demon Tree King's scent.

Roar—!

The Corroding Bone Dragon Rhino stared tightly at everyone, then let out a deafening roar.

For a moment trees swayed, the ground trembled.

"Attack!"

Xu Ping'an shouted loudly, taking the lead to flash out.

He, being a Heaven-grade Golden Core, operated his Five Elements Spiritual Root with ease.

His long spear rippled with white light, precisely one of the Metal System Spells "Golden Edge Slash", a fierce attack pressing straight toward the Corroding Bone Dragon Rhino's eyes.

Where it passed, even the surrounding Fu Ling Mist was poked open into a gap.

The Corroding Bone Dragon Rhino coldly snorted and swung its head, its pitch-black horn carrying the power of corruption crashing toward Xu Ping'an, speed fast as lightning.

Fenglong's figure flashed, magic power condensed on his fists, a "Thunder Bombarding Fist" smashed into the side of the horn, the force so fierce it directly knocked the Dragon Rhino away.

Xu Ping'an said in a low voice as a reminder: "Ordinary attacks cannot break its defense, concentrate attacks on the soft abdomen and armpits!"
