Chapter 609 - 259: Swarm of Demons

Chapter 609: Chapter 259: Swarm of Demons

Senior Brother Zhuang instantly joined the fray. It was four against two. The senior brothers and sister were no amateurs; they were Elder’s True Inheritances with Guizhen Cultivation. In the blink of an eye, they had the two Raccoon Demons completely suppressed.

Seeing this, Qin Fang didn’t force his way forward.

He watched the battle from the sidelines.

The quality of True Gang at the Guizhen Realm wasn’t fundamentally different from that at the Divine Illumination Realm.

But it was far more substantial.

Moreover, these Elder’s True Inheritances had clearly used plenty of Yan Gang Stones; their True Gang possessed incredible resilience, and their auras were formidable.

And so, they used their superior numbers to their advantage.

In less than the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, the Demon Gang protecting the two Raccoon Demons was already on the verge of shattering.

Finally, with a single slash, Senior Brother Ye lopped off the head of the White Raccoon Demon.

Senior Brother Zhuang smashed the Black Raccoon Demon’s chest with a single punch.

The two Raccoon Demons fell to the ground.

But their Life Force was terrifyingly potent. After hitting the ground, the headless one’s body was still kicking its paws, while the Black Raccoon Demon swayed, trying to get back up, its pair of scarlet, vertical pupils fixed on the group high in the air.

In the end, the senior brothers had to charge down again, each using their own techniques to finally put the two Raccoon Demons down for good.

After killing the two Raccoon Demons, the senior brothers and sister were left breathing raggedly.

...Evidently, it had taken a considerable toll.

"Demons are truly blessed by the heavens. Their Demon Essence is abundant, their Life Force astounding... Even four against two was such a difficult fight. I fear it will only get harder from here..."

Senior Brother Zhuang was in the best condition. His breathing was steady, a testament to his exceptionally substantial True Gang.

Senior Brother Ye had expended the most energy. As a member of the Wuhui Lineage, he pursued a single, killing blow; his explosive power was the strongest, but he was ill-suited for prolonged battles.

His face was slightly pale. Hearing the words, his expression grew grim as he nodded slightly.

"Senior Brothers, Senior Sister, you should meditate and recover your energy first."

Qin Fang descended from the sky.

Qin Fang hadn’t lifted a finger, but none of the senior brothers or sister blamed him. Hearing his suggestion, they all nodded lightly.

Then they sat cross-legged and began to meditate and recover.

...Demons had been appearing at intervals of roughly one incense stick’s time.

Fortunately, although they had consumed some energy, it wasn’t a great amount. The time it took for an incense stick to burn should be enough.

But as it turned out, after an incense stick’s worth of time passed, just as everyone was getting on guard, they discovered that the Demon that was supposed to appear, didn’t.

This left them stunned and a little surprised.

After a brief discussion, Senior Brother Zhuang said, "It seems that since we’re fighting at the Guizhen Level, the appearance time for the Demons has been adjusted... It’s feeling more and more like a proper Trial now."

The others nodded slightly.

But a no-show from the Demons was a good thing. They meditated a while longer and completely recovered their strength.

...The first thing Qin Fang did upon entering was to try and absorb the Primordial Power of this Grotto Heaven. The Primordial Power here was very gentle—not at all like the violent energy in the Heavenly Gang Secret Realm—making it very easy to absorb.

After a brief discussion, the group continued on their way.

About two hours after the last battle, more Demons appeared.

Again, there were two Guizhen Level Demons.

This pair was clearly a cut above the two Raccoon Demons from before!

Needless to say, however, they were still slain by the combined efforts of the senior brothers and sister.

...Once again, Qin Fang didn’t make a move.

Meditate and recover, travel, then new Demons would appear...

As time passed, after about half a day...

Five ’Extraordinary’ members of the Demon Race, each equivalent to the Guizhen Level, appeared before them.

Their expressions grew even more grim...

They had already used every trick in the book against the last four Guizhen Great Demons.

Now there were five...

The hearts of the senior brothers and sister sank... They hadn’t fully recovered, and now they were outnumbered.

...’Could it be that we won’t even get to see the face of a True Blood Great Demon?’

But since they had already encountered them, there was no point in saying anything else. They took a deep breath, mobilized their True Gang, and prepared to fight.

But just then, a figure stepped in front of them.

A gentle voice sounded out, "Senior Brothers, Senior Sister, you continue to recover. This time, it’s my turn."

They were all stunned.

"Junior Brother, don’t—"

Senior Sister Ji cried out, about to tell Qin Fang to fall back.

But she saw that Qin Fang had already moved, charging straight toward the five Guizhen Great Demons below that had just broken free from the black mist!

"Junior Brother!!!"

Senior Sister Ji was horrified. Senior Brother Zhuang and the others were also shocked and, without another word, dived down to help.

But in the next instant, they felt a sudden, intense chill.

Then, they saw dense Profound Nether True Gang erupt from Junior Brother Qin’s body. His Body Technique was impossibly fast; in an instant, he was already in front of a Guizhen Great Demon.

This time, the five Great Demons were five Bear Demons, each over eight meters tall. Humans were minuscule before them.

One look was enough to tell their Physiques were terrifyingly powerful!

But Qin Fang simply threw a punch directly at the lead Bear Demon.

The Bear Demon bared its savage fangs and let out a mighty roar. Its paw, nearly half as tall as Qin Fang, swatted straight down.

"Junior Brother!!"

This terrifying sight made everyone cry out in alarm.

But Qin Fang had charged too fast; it was too late for them to help.

The next moment, a world-shaking BOOM rang out.

A terrifying shockwave exploded from the point of impact!

Along with the explosion came countless fragments of Profound Nether True Gang and Demon Gang!

BOOM! BOOM!...

The ground cracked under the force of the blow, and massive rocks shattered.

It was a clear testament to the power of the strike.

But the senior brothers and sister only watched Qin Fang anxiously, hoping his Body Protection Leaf Skill could withstand the swat.

But one look, and they were stunned...

Because Qin Fang hadn’t retreated at all.

The one retreating...

Was the Bear Demon!

When the punch landed, the Demon Gang on the Bear Demon’s body instantly shattered. The terrifying force sent its massive body stumbling backward.

But that wasn’t the most terrifying part.

The most terrifying part was... a sheet of Profound Ice began to spread frantically up its body from its paw.

As it stumbled back with thundering steps, each one leaving a huge crater in the ground, by the time it had taken four or five steps, its entire upper body, including its head, was completely encased in Profound Ice!

This outcome caused the shocked cries of the senior brothers and sister to die in their throats!

BOOM!!!

In the brief moment of their shock,

the Guizhen Bear Demon, now completely covered in Profound Ice like a giant ice sculpture, crashed to the ground.

"..."

The senior brothers and Senior Sister Ji stared wide-eyed, unable to believe what they were seeing...

They stared dumbfounded.

There stood Qin Fang, floating casually in the void.

The giant bear, over eight meters tall, had toppled before him, transformed into an ice sculpture.

Even the other four Bear Demons seemed to be stunned by the scene.

Ice Crystals were still drifting down from the sky...
