Chapter 4129: The Terrifying Black Stone

“These few little wolves are too low in Rank. They're not worth my effort at all.”

After Ye Bufan finished speaking, he flashed behind Gongsun Wan. Ye Tian and the others did the same, hiding to the side with no intention of making a move.

“Hahaha, how truly shameless! To speak of cowardice so righteously.”

Che Ying burst into laughter, his expression full of mockery.

At the same time, the Black Stone in front made a move. With a grab, an Immortal Essence large hand seized the two Ice Fire Demon Wolves in its palm, then transformed into a mass of black mist.

The two Demon Wolves struggled non-stop, and the black mist churned continuously, but they could not break free.

At first, there were one or two shrill wolf howls, but then they abruptly stopped, and the black mist slowly returned to calm.

When the Black Stone retracted the black mist, only a pile of withered bones remained where the two Demon Wolves had been. Their flesh and blood had been completely devoured.

Che Ying's eyebrows twitched, a hint of shock flashing in his eyes.

Dark power originally possessed the ability to devour, but to be so powerful and devour so quickly was absolutely rare.

Eleventh-Rank Immortal Demon Beasts already possessed strong intelligence. Seeing this, they immediately realized the power of these people before them, knowing they were not to be provoked. The remaining ones turned and fled.

And just then, the Dragon Slaying Squad made their move. They were originally bounty hunters, in the business of slaying Immortal Demon Beasts and acquiring their inner cores, so they naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity.

Gui Xiong's broad Immortal Sword sliced out, severing the head of the alpha wolf with one strike.

Then, with a backhand swing, he cut open its chest and retrieved a Yao Beast inner core into his palm.

As a Peak Immortal Emperor Late Stage expert, slaying an Eleventh-Rank Immortal Demon Beast was simply effortless.

He then struck out two more times, and two more Ice Fire Demon Wolves were slain on the spot.

The remaining Luan Wei and Yuchi Ba also moved extremely quickly, each slaying two Ice Fire Demon Wolves.

The remaining few fled frantically, escaping in disarray into the nearby dense forest.

Ye Bufan stood behind Gongsun Wan and shook his head: “Eleventh-Rank Immortal Demon Beasts are indeed too weak.”

Che Ying, standing nearby, almost choked on his own saliva: “Can you not be so shameless? You don’t even have the courage to make a move, yet you have the nerve to say they’re too weak!”

Ye Bufan gave him a sidelong glance: “Didn’t you also not make a move?”

Che Ying’s face turned red with anger: “I didn’t make a move because they weren’t worth my effort.”

Ye Bufan curled his lips: “See? Even someone as weak as you doesn’t care for them, so they’re even less worth my effort.”

“You…”

Che Ying felt an urge to vomit blood. He was, after all, a Core Disciple of Lingxiao Sect. Although he was an Immortal Emperor, he could even contend with an Immortal Emperor Peak.

He didn’t make a move because he disdained to, but this shameless fellow dared to look down on him.

He wished he could slap the other party to death, but Ye Bufan hid behind Gongsun Wan after speaking, making it inconvenient for him to act.

“Alright, this is just the beginning. Save your abilities for later.”

Gongsun Wan’s expression remained extremely indifferent, seemingly not caring about their quarrel at all.

Che Ying snorted coldly. He also felt that attacking this rogue would be beneath his dignity. After all, he was a Core Disciple of a major Sect, while the other party was just a minor character at Immortal Venerable Early Stage.

If he truly got angry, it would only elevate the other party’s status.

After the Dragon Slaying Squad collected the inner cores of the Twin-Headed Demon Wolves, everyone set off again.

By now, they were getting closer to the Dragon Domain and had reached the depths of Demon Emperor Heaven. The Rank of Immortal Demon Beasts appearing in the surroundings was countless times higher than outside.

“Everyone, be careful…”

Gongsun Wan had just issued a reminder when an earth-shattering roar came from deep within the mountains.

“Roar…”

This roar was so fierce that the entire mountain forest trembled, and the ground shook continuously.

Then, two enormous figures sped from a distance, one in front and one behind. They were two massive fierce tigers.

They were Twelfth-Rank Immortal Demon Beasts, Iron Armored Sky-Breaking Tigers. They looked like tigers magnified a hundred times, but their bodies were covered with a layer of scales, providing extremely strong defense.

Compared to them, the Twin-Headed Demon Wolves from before were like little brothers; their combat power was completely on a different level.

Upon seeing the Iron Armored Sky-Breaking Tigers, Gui Xiong’s expression changed slightly, “Everyone be careful, these things are very formidable. In terms of combat power, they are comparable to an Immortal Emperor Late Stage, but their defense is much stronger than a Late Stage.”

They were bounty hunters, active in Demon Emperor Heaven year-round, and were extremely knowledgeable about various Immortal Demon Beasts, so they naturally knew the power of the Iron Armored Sky-Breaking Tigers.

“The three of us can only deal with one. You all handle the rest.”

Gui Xiong no longer had his previous relaxed demeanor. No one even made a move; instead, he called out to Luan Wei and Yuchi Ba behind him, and the three of them surrounded one Iron Armored Sky-Breaking Tiger.

“Kid, watch closely! This Young Master will show you what a true expert is!”

Che Ying disdained to attack Ye Bufan, but he felt a憋闷 in his heart if he didn't vent this anger, so he flashed and lunged at the remaining Iron Armored Sky-Breaking Tiger.

The three members of the Dragon Slaying Squad cooperated extremely well and were very experienced in dealing with Immortal Demon Beasts.

Gui Xiong, wielding a great sword, attracted the Iron Armored Sky-Breaking Tiger's attention from the front. Luan Wei's Immortal Sword was agile, continuously attacking its two eyes.

Yuchi Ba, on the other hand, held a spear three zhang long, with primary attack points on its soft underbelly and hindquarters.

With the three working together, although the Iron Armored Sky-Breaking Tiger was formidable, it could only roar in frustration, being tightly constrained and unable to break through.

Che Ying on the other side employed a completely different fighting style. He had no frills, not even using a weapon, but instead unleashed an incredibly forceful punch.

In terms of size, the Iron Armored Sky-Breaking Tiger was thousands of times larger than him, but in terms of speed, it was much slower, and was heavily struck on the forehead by this punch.

“Roar!”

This punch landed, and it seemed to be completely intact, not even a scale was broken, but the Iron Armored Sky-Breaking Tiger was sent flying a hundred zhang away, letting out a painful howl.

This was the Lingxiao Sect’s unique secret technique, the Jade Shattering Fist. This punching technique emphasized subtle force, focusing on striking through the surface.

Upon reaching the Major Achievement stage, a punch striking jade would leave the exterior perfectly intact, but the interior would be shattered.

It was precisely for this reason that it was called the Jade Shattering Fist.

The Iron Armored Sky-Breaking Tiger's defense was astonishing, but it primarily lay in the iron armor on its skin; its interior was no different from an ordinary Immortal Demon Beast.

While it could face blades and swords without fear, this punch indeed caused it significant internal injuries.

“Roar!”

The Iron Armored Sky-Breaking Tiger let out an angry roar, its eyes blood-red, and it opened its massive maw and lunged forward fiercely.

Che Ying's figure flashed, executing the Lingxiao Sect's movement technique, and instantly vanished from his original spot.

When he reappeared, he was already at the side of the Iron Armored Sky-Breaking Tiger, delivering a punch to its soft underbelly.

“Roar!”

The Iron Armored Sky-Breaking Tiger again let out a shrill howl of agony, spitting out a large mouthful of blood, clearly having sustained significant injuries from this punch.
