Chapter 1062: Demon Core, Inner Core? (Subscribe Please)_1

Duanmu Lian coldly shouted without hesitation, "Heaven-grade Medium Martial Skill, Thunder Sound Sword Arrow!"

As her words fell, sword arrows intermingled with arcs of lightning gathered around her and suspended in mid-air...

In the next moment, they locked onto the men charging toward them...

After a pause, she shouted again, "Release!"

The sword arrows pierced through the air, shooting forth with an intense whistling sound, "Whiz-whiz-whiz~~"

Facing the dense sword arrows, the men who were charging towards them disdainfully said, "Hmph, with such a feeble martial technique, you think you can stop us, little beauty? You are simply overestimating yourself!"

"Exactly, we are warriors of the Daluo Jinxian Realm, how could we be defeated by such attacks?"

"Such assaults, I can easily block with a wave of my hand!"

It seemed that to show off their strength, they didn't even bother using their personal swords to defend. Instead, they unleashed their spiritual power to form golden protective Gang Qi around their bodies, and fearlessly faced the sword arrows...

Watching this scene, the Duanmu Family Elders gasped in shock, "Hiss...these guys are done for! They dare to regard Elder Lian's attack with such contempt! They aren't even using their personal swords!"

"Even though Elder Lian is using a Heavenly-tier martial technique! Her strength is infinitely close to the Immortal Grade; these fools are truly seeking death!"

Zhou Qingruo observed these men with her cold, beautiful eyes, seemingly foreseeing their miserable end, and indifferently remarked, "They're nothing but trash, not even able to take the most basic precautions!"

When the Gang Qi on these men's bodies collided with the sword arrows, they were immediately penetrated by the sharp arrows,

Instantly, the sound of flesh being pierced resonated from their bodies...

"Puchi, puchi!"

Screams of unbearable agony immediately filled the area...

"Aaagh! My hand!! My leg!! My leg ah!!"

"Save me! Save me! I don't want to die ah! Aaaaaaah!!"

"Puh! Don't kill me, don't kill me, aaaaaah!!"

One man even clutched his completely pierced lower body, passing out from the pain...

Seconds later, all of the men were grievously wounded, not a single one unscathed.

Overcome by pain, they collapsed to the ground, and the humanoid lizards behind seized the opportunity, unleashing even more terrifying speed as they closed in...

Seeing the monster beasts drawing ever closer, the men cried out in terror, "Don't come any closer! Don't come any closer ah!!"

"I don't want to die! Run, run!!"

"It's over! Everything is over!!"

But it was too late; the humanoid lizards had already reached them...

What followed was an extremely bloody scene, as the men were viciously torn apart by the humanoid lizards with their sharp, saw-like teeth, spurting crimson liquid all over the ground, turning it into a veritable bloodbath...

Xu Sheng seemed to notice something and squinted, saying, "Look, there seems to be something inside those monster beasts..."

Upon hearing this, everyone else closely examined the monster beasts...

As expected, they quickly noticed an unusual glow at their chests, as if something was being nurtured...

Duanmu Lian said with a curious face, "What is that thing inside these monster beasts' bodies? It's even glowing!"

Zhou Qingruo spoke in a cold voice, "Could it be a demon core? But I think it's unlikely, since monster beasts usually have their demon cores in their hearts!"

"Yes! These monster beasts do seem different. How about we kill them and take a look after extracting it?"

"Shall we take action? If we strike while they are still feeding, we should be able to kill them with ease!"

Faced with these two suggestions, Xu Sheng did not refuse, but nodded and said, "Take action!"

After his words fell, everyone released their Martial Techniques, instantly charging toward the human-shaped lizards that were focused on their meal, slashing to kill...

By the time they realized and tried to dodge, it was too late. They fumbled under the fierce attacks, losing their lives and collapsing powerlessly to the ground...

One of the Elders immediately went over, pierced its chest with his Personal Sword, sliced through the flesh, and then extracted a demon core that emitted a crystal-clear glow!

Afterward, he successively removed the Demon Cores from the other lizards and returned to the middle of the team...

Duanmu Lian took one of them, examined it closely, and said with some disappointment, "Just a Demon Core? I thought it was something valuable!"

Zhou Qingruo also spoke up, "This Demon Core must have come from a lizerd at the Immortal Monarch Realm. Even if put out on the market, it is worth a fortune!"

"But since it's a Demon Core, it's not anything rare."

"What a waste of Spiritual Power for such a useless thing, sigh!"

"It's still not bad. After leaving the Xuanming Domain, we might be able to sell it for a good price!"

Meanwhile, Xu Sheng looked at the pale green Demon Core in his hand, not rushing to conclude...

Instead, he released his Spiritual Power to sense it for a while and, a few minutes later, the corners of his mouth could not help but curl into a smile...

Seeing this scene, Duanmu Lian asked with curiosity, "Xu Sheng, why are you smiling? Is there something wrong with this Demon Core?"

The others were also puzzled, looking at Xu Sheng, not understanding why he was smiling...

Xu Sheng didn't directly answer their question, but instead teasingly said, "Try infusing a bit of your Spiritual Power into it again and have a look. Is this really a Demon Core?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingruo and Duanmu Lian almost thoughtlessly infused their Spiritual Power into it...

The next moment, the former seemed to have discovered something incredible, her cheeks spreading with a look of astonishment...

She said, "How can it be, why does this Demon Core contain Spiritual Power instead of Cultivation Level??"

Zhou Qingruo pursed her crimson lips, "This can be said to be not a Demon Core at all, but an Inner Core that we cultivators condense!"

The only explanation is that these humanoid lizards were evolving towards humans!!!

If the distinctive features of these lizards were removed, they would be indistinguishable from "humans"!

Hearing their words, the other two Elders exchanged looks and excitedly infused their Spiritual Power into their own Demon Cores...

After a while, a look of sudden realization crossed their faces...

"So that's how it is, these lizards really have become spirits. If they were to cultivate for a few more years, I'm afraid they would completely transform into humans!"

"To think that the Xuanming Domain would have such Monster Beasts, it truly is hard to believe!"

Seeing their reactions, Xu Sheng smiled again and asked, "Then, do you think this thing has value?"

Duanmu Lian pondered, "It should have some, right? After all, it's a Monster Beast evolving towards humans..."

Before she could finish, Xu Sheng shook his head and said, "No, to be precise, this Inner Core is worthless!"

Having said that, he effortlessly crushed it to dust...

Instantly, everyone present was stunned by his action...
