Chapter 238: Crushing Kill - The Sole Survivor

Chapter 238: Crushing Kill - The Sole Survivor

Silence!

This suddenly sounded voice startled the four people to rapidly approach each other.

Another moment of silence.

"Glug—"

Swallowing hard, Skinny Bamboo Pole said with some fear, "Can't feel any Aura, Big Dog… what does your flock say?"

Big Dog: "...Within a kilometer radius, there's no sign of anyone."

Liu the Blade, hearing this, held his long blade horizontally and shouted loudly.

"Your Excellency, we have no grievances or enmity. If you fancy these things, Liu will offer them to you as a gift, how about making friends?"

"Friends? Wang is not worthy."

Ripples spread through the air, right in front of Big Dog.

Terrifying Cold Qi spread, and sharp Ice spikes rose from the Ground, instantly skewering the three Late Qi Condensation Stage cultivators like sugar gourds. The delightful sensation was utterly inhumane.

Liu the Blade leaped back suddenly, turning around to sweep his blade horizontally.

Wang Yu was extremely familiar with the Blade Aura that slashed towards him, and it also ignited his hatred. It was this very move that caused him to lose his left arm for many years, until he went to Gui Ling and it was restored.

Frost Moon Wings unfurled, and a cold light flickered.

Speed pushed to the Extremes, like a flash, crossing tens of meters in distance, and with a kick, he sent Liu the Blade crashing into the Ground.

The Ground cracked like a Spider Web.

"You… who exactly are you?"

With just this one strike, Liu the Blade felt his internal organs and Spine break, completely losing sensation in his lower body. Trembling, he groped for his Magic Artifact long blade.

But he could only touch a pile of broken soil and dregs.

"Who am I? Manager Liu, long time no see~"

Wang Yu freely lifted the Earth Luo Ghost Mask. When avenging a grudge, how could he let someone die without knowing why! They had to know who killed them, otherwise, he wouldn't feel satisfied.

Seeing Wang Yu in that instant, Liu the Blade's pupils shrank.

He immediately recalled the events of that year. It was because of this person that he was forced to flee the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect and hide in the chaotic Ten Thousand Poisons Town.

How could such a Memory not be deeply etched?!

"It's you… Wang Yu!"

"Since you still remember me, then there's no need to say more."

With a thought from Wang Yu, Ice Swords as long as fingers rapidly formed, and Ice pillars rose from the Ground, tightly Binding Liu the Blade.

The Ice Sword Technique, which he hadn't used for a long time, had become even more refined.

It had almost reached the point where his arm commanded them as if they were extensions of his will.

Each movement of the small Ice Swords would shave off a fingernail-sized piece of transparent flesh, and then a drop of salt water would be dripped onto the wound, repeatedly, continuously.

Liu the Blade, who originally wanted to say something.

Was immediately tormented by this inhumane Punishment, wailing continuously, extremely shrill.

In less than half an hour, a layer of flesh fragments piled up on the Ground, and his throat was swollen from shouting, his pain tolerance reaching its limit, fainting several times.

Seeing this, Wang Yu fed him a few Healing Pills, and using materials at hand, crafted a steamer as tall as a person, and started a fire… live steaming!

This time, he steamed for a full three hours.

When he took the person out, the outermost layer of flesh was already so soft that it would rot at the touch of a finger, but relying on the Essence of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, and the Effect of those few Healing Pills.

He was still not dead.

——Continue!

When night fell, and Wang Yu suddenly realized it was dark, Liu the Blade was only left with a Head stuck on a broken tree branch, covered in ants.

"Seems like I went a bit too far… boring."

Clapping his hands, he was already at the Outer Reaches of the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest, and he prepared to enter the mountains. Just as he was about to release Xue Yu from the Spirit Beast Pouch.

He suddenly turned his head to look at the Foundation Establishment Old Man who was frozen in Ice. This was the only survivor he had left behind earlier. The poison on his body had been resolved by Liu the Blade and the others, and his injuries were also under control.

Instead, he had survived.

Wang Yu thought for a moment, put on the Earth Luo Ghost Mask, and wherever he passed, the ice instantly dissipated.

"Wake up!"

Divine Sense swept over, and the dazed Elder of the Ruan Family suddenly sat up. When he realized he was still in the Mountains and Forests, he immediately felt something was Ominous.

Looking around, apart from corpses, there was only the masked person in front of him. He immediately felt sorrow welling up in his heart, vaguely guessing what had happened.

This kind of thing was too common in the Red Kite Region.

The separations and deaths between Cultivators were even more frequent than in Mortal times. It was said that they could live long, but very few lived to their Lifespan Limit.

"This Fellow Daoist… did you save this Old Man?"

"Consider it so."

"Then… my Miss…"

"The corpses are all over there, including the four Bandit Cultivators who ambushed you."

The Elder of the Ruan Family fell silent again, his cloudy Eyes filled with tears, and finally, he let out a long sigh, sinking into some kind of Memory, his Eyes unfocused.

Seeing this, Wang Yu spoke again.

"I have something to ask you."

As soon as these words came out, the Elder of the Ruan Family finally regained his senses, Staggering as he supported himself on the tree trunk to stand up.

"Please ask, Your Excellency. As long as this Old Man knows, I will definitely tell you everything, without holding back!"

"It's not that exaggerated."

Wang Yu was very satisfied with the Elder of the Ruan Family's attitude, which was just within his comfortable range of conversation.

"On your journey into the mountains, have you ever seen a strange mountain shaped like an inverted 'mountain'?"

"This shape… isn't it Similar to a door frame without a Gate?"

"Similar, have you seen it?"

"No."

This Clues came from the Inheritance Jade Slip that Wang Yu Harvested during his escape from the Withered Leaf Swamp back then. It marked the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest's Slots, and left behind a Character resembling an inverted "mountain".

Finding this Thing would lead him to the Ancient Heavenly Soul Sect Ruins.

He felt that this should be the Appearance of the Mountain Gate, or some kind of Sect symbol. Asking the Elder of the Ruan Family was also in the hopes of striking it lucky.

Since he didn't know, he would continue to go deeper.

He had twenty years for this trip, which could be extended or shortened, mainly depending on when the Struggle in Moonchasing Province ended.

Finding the Ancient Heavenly Soul Sect Ruins was one thing.

Searching for Spirit Objects that could rapidly accumulate True Essence was also another. He was able to find the Ghost Eye during the Qi Condensation Stage, and there should also be Treasures in this regard during the Foundation Establishment Stage.

It was just that he was ignorant and ill-informed. If he could Return to the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect and check the information in the Narrative Pavilion, it would actually be more appropriate, but it was currently inconvenient to Return.

Zuoqiu Ming had mentioned several Slots he knew of.

Unfortunately, they were all too far away.

It was said that Yellow Springs Temple had a Peach State under its command, located south of the Deathly Still Desert, with a Peach Forest of a full thirty thousand kilometers, among which a small number of peach trees bore Purple-Gold Peaches, which had the Effect of Increasing True Essence.

However, the Output was scarce, only able to Satisfy the Needs of their Inner Sect disciples.

Further south.

In the Nether Mountain Sect's Territory, in the southeast corner of the Red Kite Region, there was a place called Serene Wave Wharf, which was one of the largest sea ports in the Demon Domain.

In the near sea, there was a Sea Abyss, which was rich in a type of silver fish Similar to beltfish, and their hearts, called Silver Fish Hearts, could also Increase the True Essence of Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

The distance was too far, and Wang Yu was powerless.

As for the four provinces under the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect's command, there were also Spirit Materials of this kind of Output, but they had not yet reached Scale.

For example, Night Jade Province had a Blood Clam Farm, which Output Blood Jade Pearls that had a better Effect than Silver Fish Hearts, but the Output was too low, only supplied to core disciples.

There were no exchanges for them even in the Sect Treasure Vault.

Someone like Wang Yu could only rely on himself, going to Dangerous Places such as the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest, Severed Realm Mountain Range, Vermilion Bird Divine Mountain, and Barren Ancient Plains to search.

Returning to the main topic.

Since the Elder of the Ruan Family didn't have any Intelligence in this regard, Wang Yu Plan to leave, but who knew that the Old Man suddenly stopped him, explaining.

"Your Excellency, if you want to search for special terrain features, it's best to find an Earth Array Master to go with you. Going deep into the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest alone is very easy to encounter danger, and the efficiency will not be high.

"In this Bone Forest, the Outer Reaches are still alright, and you only occasionally encounter patches of Poisonous Miasma, but Once you enter the inner reaches, the Underground three feet is almost entirely Bones of Monster Beasts and the Human Race.

"These years of accumulated corpses, after rotting and intertwining with Natural Spirit Qi, Give Birth To Poisonous Mist that is very ferocious. If you encounter Mist Demons, life and death will be unpredictable.

"Even Core Formation Cultivators will fall victim to it, inexplicably dying inside. Although my Ruan Family has declined, we still have some Connections.

"As far as this Old Man knows, Array Master Long is also looking for something in the Bone Forest. This is the Ruan Family Jade Token. If you encounter her, show her this Jade Token, and she will definitely help you search."

Wang Yu was somewhat silent upon Hearing This.

He pointed to the pile of corpses and asked doubtfully.

"When your team encountered Bandit Cultivators, you should have been unconscious, so you don't suspect that I did it?"

The Elder of the Ruan Family's Expression was bitter.

"Your Excellency has Profound Cultivation, how could you possibly fancy our trifling possessions? This Old Man is certain to believe in Your Excellency."

"Very well, I will accept the Thing."

Poison Scorpion City Ruan Family… Wang Yu remembered this Family Clan in his Deepest Heart. Judging from what he knew, the Ruan Family's situation was not good.

This kind of Favor Jade Token was definitely one-time use, and should be used at critical moments. Now taking it out to thank him for saving his life could be considered the limit of what they could repay within their Ability.

The Ability of an Earth Array Master could indeed save him a lot of time.

As for the grace of saving his life.

To be honest, when he Rushed Over, he Happened to See the Spirit Light of the Formation taking Effect from afar. When he got closer, he Happened to See that Sword Thrust piercing the heart.

He had the Ability to Prevent it, but he did No.

He felt ashamed to accept it.

This kind of Emotion had not arisen for many years. Probably after Returning from the Great Lake, he had completely Became different.

"Ruan Family… Sigh…"

Watching Wang Yu's Figure disappear into the thick fog, the Elder of the Ruan Family also began to Restrain the Corpses. When he saw his own Miss's Corpse, tears once again could not be stopped.

He could only hastily Restrain the Corpses and leave this sad place.

Several days later.

As he approached the inner reaches of the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest, the Number of Poisonous Insects and vicious beasts that Wang Yu encountered rapidly increased. His feet did not touch the Ground, maintaining a distance of three meters above the Ground, flying at low altitude.

Too many Poisonous Insects lurked in those years of accumulated rotten leaves, and some even caught him off guard.

Poisonous insects, Toxic Trees, Toxic Mist… Vigilance was needed when touching any Entities. He had encountered a Toxic Tree. Just standing on a tree branch and overlooking the terrain.

He felt his Whole Body paralyzed, unable to move.

Only after the Flawless Jade Toad helped him detoxify did he discover that it was a type of Resin flowing out from above.

It was amber in color, with no peculiar smell, but smelling it would paralyze the Whole Body, extremely strange!

Therefore.

He put the Flawless Jade Toad in his arms, constantly paying attention to his physical State. Even with the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest's Intelligence, his journey was still difficult and tortuous.

This was a matter of habits and Experience. Many habits from the outside world were lethal here.

He couldn't fly high, or he would easily be targeted by Toad Demons.

He couldn't step on the Ground, or he would be stung by lurking Poisonous Insects.

He couldn't touch anything, or he would easily be poisoned, and he couldn't breathe deeply, or he would inhale too much Toxic Mist. Having personally experienced this, he became much more familiar with it.
