The Great Wild God - Chapter 220
Chapter 220 Underground Firefox
Only when the Heavenly Yao’s soul mark attached to the broken halberd was shattered would he be able to escape from the dozens of demonic foxes and two fierce apes. Therefore, Jiang Xingkong’s sword strike towards the broken halberd did not leave the slightest bit of leeway. All of his soul and mind were focused on the spirit sword and chopped towards the broken halberd.
It wasn’t until the tip of the half-foot long sword pierced out from his chest that he turned around and saw Chen Xun standing behind him unscathed, pulling out the bloody Thunder Meteorite Sword from his body.
“How could you not be dead?” Jiang Xingkong watched this scene in disbelief. However, when his mind was lost, the Heavenly Demon Sense attached to the Broken Halberd was like a torrent that broke through a dam and rushed into his spiritual sea, wantonly destroying everything.
At this moment, even if Chen Xun was unarmed, Jiang Xingkong still didn’t have the ability to retaliate. However, he couldn’t understand how Chen Xun would be safe from the Heavenly Yao Broken Halberd’s attack before he died.
“Want to clean up the Divine Night Sect? I want you to have the qualifications!”
Chen Xun was afraid that Jiang Xingkong would not die completely, so he cut off his head and threw it aside. Then, he took off the spirit sword that he had dropped on the ground and the bag of holding at his waist. He didn’t care about the broken halberd that was lying on the ground like a dead thing, and directly drilled into a fork hole on the other side.
Even though Jiang Xingkong had already shattered the Divine Soul Seal that the Heavenly Yao had attached to the broken halberd, the broken halberd was too long. Half of it was 40 feet long, so it simply couldn’t be stuffed into the spatial ring. Chen Xun still didn’t want to take this burden with him and avoid the pursuit of the demonic beast in the underground cavern.
Chen Xun was also taking risks, betting that Mansion of Marquis Martial would not exchange information without reservation, and that Jiang Xingkong was unaware of the various divine abilities derived from the Kui Long Yang Refining Technique.
The second technique of the Kui Dragon Yang Refining Technique, the Nine Qi Yang Refining Technique, after cultivating to a certain level, the only divine ability that came with it was the Kui Dragon Spirit Armor.
Ordinary defensive techniques were all used to condense Spiritual Energy into Illusionary Spiritual Shields and Spiritual Shields to defend against enemies, so their defensive power was limited. Once the Spirit Shield and Spirit Shield were shattered, they would need to use a new spell before they could defend against the enemy again.
Just like the Kui Long Heavenly Sound Technique, the spiritual energy that supported the evolution of the Kui Long Spirit Armor divine ability came directly from the source of the Kui Long Spirit Form that had taken root in the Spirit Sea.
As long as the Kui Dragon Technique was imperishable, as long as the Profound Ice Fire Lake’s Spiritual Energy formed by the Spiritual Sea was not squeezed dry in one go, the Kui Dragon Spiritual Armor would never be completely shattered by external forces, comparable to a small defensive formation.
Why use something big or meaningful to fulfill a minor task?
Chen Xun also bet that the Heavenly Yao wouldn’t use all of his strength to kill this pawn. Jiang Xingkong would lose if he lost. He never expected that not only would the Heavenly Yao Broken Halberd not be able to kill Chen Xun, it would not even be able to severely injure Chen Xun.
**********************
Chen Xun had only killed Jiang Xingkong for a dozen breaths of time, but this amount of time was enough for the disciples of the various sects to flee hundreds of feet away. Naturally, no one could see Chen Xun plotting to kill Jiang Xingkong.
The two fierce apes snatched Jiang Xingkong’s head and corpse and began to eat them. The dozen or so demonic foxes were unable to reap any benefits, so they chased after Chen Xun.
The underground cavern was as dense as a spider web. If you walked through the wrong cavern, don’t even think about meeting up with the disciples of the various sects.
After escaping for more than half a day, he still couldn’t find an exit. He didn’t know which corner he had drilled into the depths of the Tu Mountain. Chen Xun felt that the demonic qi in the cave was getting thinner and thinner. He no longer felt that it was cold to the bone. Instead, an indescribable aura of dry fire came from the depths of the cave.
After passing through this cave, it was a huge cave filled with lava.
Chen Xun didn’t expect there to be such an active volcano underground. Looking at the walls of the giant cave, it was no less than two to three thousand feet wide. Crimson magma surged three to four hundred feet below the crater. Occasionally, a bubble of magma would explode and spit out an earth fire that was one to two hundred feet tall.
On the four walls of the cave, dozens of firefoxes were vigilantly staring at Chen Xun who had barged in.
These firefoxes were similar in size to the demonic foxes, only their fur, scales, and claws were the same color as magma, and they were bright scarlet red.
As soon as the dozen or so demonic foxes appeared, dozens of firefoxes roared and pounced on them, tearing them into a ball.
Although there were a large number of Firefoxes, more than a dozen Firefoxes had cultivated blood pills. Their bodies were even more ferocious, and their strength was infinite. The fiery fires that they spat out from time to time were even more ferocious. In a dozen breaths of time, they tore the Firefoxes into pieces, throwing them down the volcanic crater and burning them to ashes.
Chen Xun now understood that the demonic fox wasn’t formed by an ordinary mountain fox cultivating demonic fiends. In fact, they were originally of the same race as this group of Firefoxes. Only after cultivating the demonic fiends did they become sworn enemies with this group of Firefoxes.
Although the underground caverns in the depths of Mount Tu were all connected, and although Demonic Fox and other demonic beasts were extremely ferocious, they were afraid of the flames on this side, so they wouldn’t easily barge in. Only then could this group of Firefoxes safely live in this volcanic cavern.
A firefox flew over, blood gushing out, dyeing the fiery red fur even brighter.
Chen Xun stretched out his hand to catch the firefox that was about to fall into the volcano crater. Seeing that it was much smaller than the other firefoxes, it was still a young fox. A big cut had been torn open in its chest, but it was a double-tailed mutant. No wonder even though it was young, its killing power was no weaker than an ordinary firefox.
Two Firefoxes approached and grinned in fear that Chen Xun would injure the cub, while the narrow fox’s eyes revealed a fierce and threatening look.
These firefoxes were slightly intelligent and were easier to deal with than those devilish foxes that only knew how to devour blood and slaughter. Chen Xun threw the severely injured and fainted cub over, transformed into a flowing shadow, and used the Thunder Meteorite Sword to hack towards the two devilish foxes that pounced towards him.
The sound of thunder rang out, and the sword light grew, immediately sending the two demonic foxes flying horizontally.
However, the demonic bodies of these two demonic foxes were unimaginably powerful. They could barely endure landing on the earth fire magma, and their demonic bodies flew several zhang across the sky. They landed unscathed on a protruding rock, howling as they pounced towards Chen Xun.
Old Kui had said before that Fiendgod Body Refinement and Desolate Beasts had natural advantages.
The demonic beasts in the depths of the Tu Mountain cultivated demonic fiends. Their physical bodies were their strongest magical artifacts, and the Blood Pill called them endless divine power. As a result, the lowest level demonic rats and thorn snakes all possessed strength comparable to that of a Reincarnation Realm martial cultivator.
These dozen demonic foxes were clearly much more tyrannical than demonic rats and snakes.
Unless Chen Xun could cultivate the Lightning Sound Sword Technique to a purer, sharper, stronger, or even more powerful Lightning Sound Sword Formation, the Lightning Sound Sword Light he was currently controlling would not be able to seriously injure these demonic foxes.
Chen Xun took out the Heavenly Jun Blazing Sun Shield and used the Kui Dragon Spirit Armor to protect his entire body. He forcefully charged into the cave entrance that he had just broken into and entered the relatively open terrain before releasing the Six-Headed Giant Snake Puppet.
Although the six Soul Essence Battle Souls hadn’t reached their peak, and the Giant Snake Puppet couldn’t display all of its fighting instincts, it wasn’t very agile to advance or retreat. However, the Giant Snake Puppet’s body wasn’t any weaker than the Demonic Fox’s.
If it was any other intelligent exotic beast, it could have avoided these six giant snake puppets and directly attacked Chen Xun, who was hiding behind them.
However, these dozen or so demonic foxes were purely called Blood Devouring Slaughter Demonic Will Control, threatening to tear everything in front of them into pieces. Moreover, the Soul Essence Battle Soul between the skulls of the Giant Serpent Puppet was refined by Chen Xun using his own Soul Fate Yuan to refine the remnant soul of the Desolate Beast. It carried Chen Xun’s divine soul aura, attracting the demonic foxes to attack crazily.
Since the Giant Snake Puppet was the closest to them, they naturally attacked the Giant Snake Puppet crazily.
Occasionally, one or two demonic foxes would leak in, so Chen Xun could deal with them calmly.
Those firefoxes hated these demonic foxes to the bone. There were often two or three firefoxes that desperately hugged a demonic fox and fell down the volcano crater together, landing on magma and earth fire and perishing together.
**************************
After killing a dozen or so demonic foxes with great difficulty, the Six-Headed Giant Snake Puppet had also become utterly broken, and its blood pills had almost been exhausted.
More than half of the demonic foxes fell into the volcano crater and their remnant souls were burned to ashes by the magma. The remaining nine demonic foxes also had their limbs broken and their intestines torn open.
Seeing that the group of Firefoxes had vigilantly retreated to the other end of the volcano crater, Chen Xun only smiled. It was best if they didn’t interfere with each other. He placed a protective restriction at the entrance of the cave and picked up the corpse of the nine-headed Firefox.
The Giant Snake Puppet’s blood pills were almost exhausted, especially the last Demon Fox that self-destructed before it died. The Giant Snake Puppet’s body had been severely damaged and could no longer be used.
Fortunately, the Soul Essence Battle Soul was completely unharmed, and even more Soul Essence was absorbed from the Blood Pill, becoming even more condensed.
Chen Xun first merged the remnant souls of the demonic fox into his Soul Essence Battle Soul, then picked up four relatively intact demonic foxes and threw them into his spatial ring. The other five demonic foxes took out blood pills and other useful items, and the rest, along with the broken giant snake puppet, left the crater to burn to ashes.
The two-tailed cub fox was curious and vigilant as it approached the protective restriction Chen Xun had set up. Chen Xun took out a Jade Toad Pill from his spatial ring and threw it over.
Just as the two-tailed cub was about to receive the Jade Toad Pill, a giant fox shot out from the stone wall beside it and landed on the ground with its claws, pulling the cub back.
Chen Xun was rather helpless. He raised his head to look at the top of the cave and saw that the group of firefoxes were gathered at the entrance of the cave at the upper left. He thought to himself that behind the entrance of the cave should be the nest of the group of firefoxes.
Although this group of Firefoxes borrowed the profound yang energy leaked from the earth fire to cultivate, it didn’t look like they were foxes that lived in the crypt. However, this group of Firefoxes was suspicious and extremely vigilant towards other types of foxes. Chen Xun temporarily couldn’t catch one or two Firefoxes and find a way out of the underground crypt.
Firefox was worried about him. Chen Xun was also worried about this group of Firefoxes. He placed two more layers of protective restrictions before taking out Jiang Xingkong’s bag of holding and erasing his soul imprint.
A pitch black iron token inscribed with the words “Commandant of the Martial Duke of Yuan”. Chen Xun guessed that this was Jiang Xingkong’s identity token in the Marquis of Yuan Dynasty.
There weren’t many experts at Jiang Xingkong’s level in Mansion of Marquis Martial. Chen Xun wanted to keep this iron token, but he didn’t have the chance to pretend to be the Yuanwu Manor’s Commandant, so he casually threw the iron token down the volcano crater.
The eight bottles of pills were all top-grade, much higher than the Nine Yang Pill and the Jade Toad Pill.
There were many empty bottles in Chen Xun’s spatial ring. He freed up these medicinal pills and casually tossed the eight exquisite bottles engraved with the Marquis Yuan’s Manor’s logo down the volcano crater.
Although a set of Black Scaled Pagoda Armor had the logo of Mansion of Marquis Martial, it was engraved on the shoulder armor and could be melted away. As for the Black Scaled Pagoda Armor, it wasn’t unique to Mansion of Marquis Martial. Chen Xun put it into his spatial ring first. Even if he couldn’t wear it, he could still find an opportunity to secretly exchange some forging materials for it.
He took out a gigantic sword sheath that was seven feet long and more than a foot thick from his bag of holding. Chen Xun was secretly pleasantly surprised. He didn’t expect that Jiang Xingkong would actually carry it with him, let alone his wealth. In the end, he would be able to benefit from it.
There were many Sword Cultivation Sects in the Northwest Region, and there were also many Spirit Sword Techniques and Swords that were passed down in the Northwest Region. However, it was not easy to refine high-quality Spirit Swords, and they were all extremely expensive.
Chen Ling had prepared eight more spirit swords in addition to the Thunder Meteorite Sword in her spatial ring in preparation for cultivating the Thunder Sound Sword Formation.
The Thunder Meteorite Sword was a gift from Ji Lie, and it was also the only Earth-ranked magical artifact in Chen Xun’s hand. Even Gu Chengzhuo and the others were envious of it.
Including the Spirit Sword that Su Lingyin had gifted, the other eight Spirit Swords Chen Xun had prepared were only mid-grade Spirit Swords, but in order to gather all eight Spirit Swords together, it had already cost Chen Xun more than half of his wealth.
The Lightning Sound Sword Formation could be used to control nine swords, but this was only the foundation of the Lightning Sound Sword Formation.
With the advancement of his cultivation, Chen Xun would have to use eighteen, twenty-seven, thirty-six, and even ninety-nine hundred and eighty-one spirit swords to form a Thunderous Sound Sword Formation to kill his enemies in the future.
Every level of the Thunderous Sound Sword Formation doubled its power. When the 9981 spirit swords formed the Thunderous Sound Sword Formation, even Heavenly Yao could kill below the sword formation.
To Chen Xun, the spiritual sword would only be more and more beneficial in the future, and it definitely wouldn’t be too much.
