Starting as The Young Master of A Pharmacy, He Trained Swordsmanship in Seclusion For Twenty Years - Chapter 117
Inside the inn, Lu Xuan looked at the two great demons on the floor.
This time, he decided to take action personally.
After all, all he needed to do was cook them and then eat them. As for the taste, he could make do.
Considering the preciousness of the great demons’ flesh and blood, Lu Xuan wasn’t as extravagant as before.
Lu Xuan was quite satisfied with Yao Feng’s performance.
Therefore, Lu Xuan specially rewarded him with one of the demon beast heads and, incidentally, gave Zhao Sheng a chance as well, allowing the two of them to consume it together.
As for the remaining demon beast head, Lu Xuan no longer felt any disdain for it.
Given Lu Xuan’s current level in martial arts, he needed to repeatedly deduce the three martial arts techniques to achieve a breakthrough.
This, in turn, required an even greater amount of system points.
Faced with such a rapid consumption of system points, Lu Xuan had no choice but to adhere to the principle of accumulating little by little.
Even the demon beast head he had always disdained was now to be refined into system points.
In the next moment, waves of turbulent air rippled through the space around Lu Xuan.
Lu Xuan slowly raised his right hand, where a flickering crimson flame danced in his palm.
Under Lu Xuan’s control, this crimson flame was just intense enough to cleanly burn away all the fur on the two great demons.
Then, several solid streams of Gang Yuan shot out, slicing through the air and easily cutting through the tough hides of the two great demons.
If anyone else had been present to witness Lu Xuan’s actions, they would have been stunned.
A revered Master of External Gang actually using Gang Yuan for such a task!
How was Lu Xuan’s approach any different from using a cannon to kill a mosquito!
“I wonder how much of a pleasant surprise these two great demons will bring me.”
“I hope they don’t disappoint!”
Meanwhile, on an empty street in Silverstone Town.
Zhao Sheng stood alone, several large wooden tables placed beside him.
These tables were pushed together, with an ugly, ferocious monster’s head resting on top.
Clearly, Zhao Sheng was there guarding the head of the fox great demon.
Meanwhile, Yao Feng and his two disciples were going door-to-door.
Informing the townsfolk that the monsters that had attacked Silverstone Town had been slain.
Before long, the previously empty street gradually became crowded, and the quiet atmosphere turned noisy.
“Is this the monster that attacked our town?”
“It looks like a fox.”
“It’s it!”
“That’s the one!”
“I’ve seen it before!”
From the crowd, several women pushed their way excitedly to the front, right before the great demon’s head.
These women were among the survivors from the previous night, who had been under the very noses of the two great demons.
They had seen the forms of those two monsters clearly, an image they would probably never forget for the rest of their lives.
If those two monsters hadn’t suddenly gone crazy and left last night, they would have surely been devoured.
“Eh, respected sirs, if I may, I remember there being two monsters.”
“Why is there only one head here?”
One of the women looked at Yao Feng, puzzled.
“As for that, you needn’t concern yourselves.”
“The monsters that threatened Silverstone Town have been dealt with by us. You can all rest easy now.”
Yao Feng stepped forward to address the townspeople’s questions.
However, his expression seemed somewhat troubled.
He had just been to many places in the town and discovered that the casualties exceeded a hundred people.
Even the town mayor of Silverstone Town was missing.
The answer was obvious; the mayor had likely already fallen victim to the claws of the two great demons.
Just as Zhao Sheng and the others were comforting the gathered townspeople…
“Silverstone Town is just ahead!”
On the road leading from the official highway to Silverstone Town, a fast horse galloped forward.
The person on horseback was none other than Mo Ronghua.
He was just about to slow his horse’s pace as he prepared to enter Silverstone Town.
Suddenly, his eyes narrowed, spotting countless footprints on the road.
Horse hoof prints, wheel ruts…
But most conspicuous were the sparse, large footprints, each one several meters apart.
“These footprints!”
“Oh no!”
“Silverstone Town is in danger!”
Mo Ronghua exclaimed in alarm. He could clearly tell what kind of creatures had left these exaggerated footprints.
It had to be those two great demons.
Thinking this, Mo Ronghua urgently urged his horse towards Silverstone Town!
In less than half a quarter of an hour, Mo Ronghua had reached Silverstone Town.
As soon as human structures appeared ahead, Mo Ronghua urged his horse to go even faster.
Before the horse even reached the town entrance.
Mo Ronghua leaped down from the saddle, his body moving at extreme speed as he dashed into Silverstone Town.
“Huh?”
“There are still signs of living people!”
The moment Mo Ronghua entered Silverstone Town, he immediately sensed it.
There were still a large number of living auras around, including several belonging to martial artists.
Why was this?
In places where those two great demons appeared, martial artists were usually sought out and devoured by them.
As Mo Ronghua approached the center of the town.
On one of the main streets, a large crowd of people had gathered.
Mo Ronghua rushed over. It wasn’t until he sensed the auras of Zhao Sheng and Yao Feng within the dense crowd that
An expression of utter disbelief quickly spread across his face.
“That can’t be!”
“Why are there two Blood Refining stage martial artists here!”
How could there be Blood Refining stage martial artists in a place like Silverstone Town?
Furthermore, martial artists at the Blood Refining stage were a deadly temptation for those two great demons.
If those two great demons had indeed appeared in Silverstone Town,
These two Blood Refining stage martial artists shouldn’t have possibly survived.
“Hm? Someone’s coming!”
“Such a powerful aura!”
In the next moment, both Zhao Sheng and Yao Feng seemed to sense something simultaneously. They looked up, gazing into the distance.
Not far from the crowd, a figure appeared.
This figure made no attempt to conceal the powerful aura bursting forth from them and was sprinting directly towards the crowd.
Immediately, under the astonished eyes of the crowd, Zhao Sheng and Yao Feng leaped up, landing outside the ring of people.
“Xuan Niao Guards?”
“Xuan Niao Guards?”
Almost at the same time, Mo Ronghua, Zhao Sheng, and Yao Feng looked at each other. Especially when they saw the uniforms the others wore, they all spoke in surprise.
“Blue Xuan Niao uniform?”
“That’s the same Xuan Niao uniform as Xuan Envoy Li Chengfeng!”
“Could it be?!”
When Zhao Sheng saw that the opposite party was an old man wearing a blue Xuan Niao uniform, his eyes widened immediately.
Because the brocade uniforms of the Xuan Niao Guards were divided into Purple, Red, Blue, Green, and White!
These corresponded to the five levels of Xuan Niao Guards: Heaven, Earth, Mysterious, Yellow, and Human, respectively.
The Blue Xuan Niao uniform was only worn by Mysterious-level Xuan Niao Guards – martial artists at the Internal Qi level.
At this moment, Zhao Sheng had guessed the likely outcome.
If he wasn’t mistaken,
The other party should be the Xuan Envoy of Jingtai Prefecture! Mo Ronghua!
When Zhao Sheng accepted the mission, Deputy Envoy He Yan had mentioned to him.
That the Xuan Envoy of Jingtai Prefecture, Mo Ronghua,
Was pursuing and killing those two great demons within Fenglin County!
