Journey to Slaughter God - C61
The corner of Shi Ling’s mouth twitched, and a look of ecstasy appeared on his face. There had never been a moment where Shi Ling would be so excited to see someone. He immediately looked towards Gongsun Jie and asked, “Hey, did you manage to get that incense?”
When Gongsun Jie heard this, a trace of pride appeared in his eyes. He immediately waved the Ancient Fragrance in his hand and said, “I’ve long since harvested it. It’s just that I’m too late. I don’t have time to transplant the flower bush soil.”
Before Gongsun Jie could react, Shi Ling had already plucked a leaf from the incense. When Gongsun Jie saw this, he let out a strange cry and shouted, “Bastard, what are you doing!”
At this moment, Phantom Shadow Killer erupted, causing Shi Ling’s speed to increase by several times, and he rushed towards Zhang Yuquan’s direction. When Gongsun Jie saw this, he directly scolded Shi Ling, because he did not dare to run towards Zhang Yuquan’s direction. He was afraid that Shi Ling would fight with Zhang Yuquan’s men, which would then affect him.
Gongsun Jie scolded a vile and ungrateful villain before turning his head and running in another direction. The two of them headed in two different directions, and so did the two wolf demons behind them.
On Zhang Yuquan’s side, the group of people behind Zhang Yuquan were initially overjoyed when they saw that Shi Ling was rushing towards them. However, they immediately saw a seven to eight meter tall giant wolf demon following behind him.
A few people whispered into Zhang Yuquan’s ear, “Fourth Young Master, if we continue to charge forward, the other side has attracted a giant wolf demon from who knows where. When that happens, our side will definitely suffer heavy losses.”
However, Zhang Yuquan did not listen to him at all. At that moment, there was only one person in his eyes, Shi Ling, the person who killed his brother. Zhang Yuquan shouted to the group of people behind him, “So what if that wolf demon is Shi Ling’s helper? Could it be that with so many members of the Zhang Family, we can’t defeat a single wolf demon? All of you, attack. If anyone dares to retreat, don’t blame me for being merciless. ”
Saying that, Zhang Yuquan took out a silver-blue long sword from his storage ring. Within the sword, there was a dense amount of sword Qi revolving around it.
At this moment, Zhang Yuquan had already completely lost his usual calm state of thinking. At this moment, there was only one thought in his mind, and that was to kill Shi Ling.
The guards behind Zhang Yushui who had some strength and courage could only helplessly shake their heads. Although the Zhang Family indeed had a lot of people on their side, their fighting strength was too low. Moreover, once they encountered a fatal situation, they would definitely run away.
At the same time, as Shi Ling charged towards Zhang Yusheng, he held the leaf in his hand between his fingers and pulled the Mysterious Wood Sword out of his back. Then, a powerful sword aura swirled around the Mysterious Wood Sword.
Very quickly, Shi Ling and Zhang Yuquan, who were charging at the front, collided. The moment the two swords in their hands collided, a soft ‘ding’ sound rang out. Immediately, a gale swept out like a ripple from the water.
After that, Shi Ling was knocked back several steps, while Zhang Yuquan rushed back towards Shi Ling. Shi Ling’s eyes revealed a hint of shock, because the force that his opponent had just unleashed was not sword energy, but a sword aura!
The power between the two was similar to an ordinary wooden sword and an ordinary metal sword, there was simply no way to compare them at all. However, the sword aura could only be condensed after reaching the fourth heaven of the sword qi. Could it be that Zhang Yuquan’s sword dao will had already reached the fourth heaven of the sword qi?
Shi Ling’s eyes narrowed as he looked at Zhang Yuquan, who was rushing towards him, and whispered, “Ying Huanhuan, open!”
Immediately, Shi Ling’s eyes widened. Soon after, he saw that the longsword in Zhang Yushui’s hand was emitting a strong sword aura. So it was because of that longsword, no wonder it was able to continuously push him back.
The corner of Shi Ling’s mouth curled up slightly. This time around, it was truly interesting. Immediately, the Mystic Wood Sword in his hand was tightly gripped. The sword Qi circled around the Mystic Wood Sword, causing it to instantly become abnormally sharp.
At the same time, half of the Zhang Clan disciples that Zhang Yuquan brought along went to deal with the Demonic Wolf that was rushing over, in order to prevent it from damaging Zhang Yuquan’s head, which was in fact the head of Shi Ling. The other half of the Zhang Clan disciples rushed to Zhang Yuquan’s side and began to gang up on him.
In an instant, Shi Ling was surrounded by a dozen Spirit Accumulation Realm experts and three early stage Body Tempering experts. While Shi Ling was fighting them, he didn’t forget to squint in the direction of the wolf demon.
Just as Shi Ling had expected, the Zhang disciples were unable to deal with the wolf demon at all. Along the way, the wolf demon rushed towards Shi Ling’s direction like a hot knife through butter. When Shi Ling saw this, the corner of his mouth curled up slightly.
In a split-second, his sword, along with his entire body, was split into two. The scarlet blood caused everyone’s eyes to turn red from killing.
In his eyes, the blue pupils in which the petals had bloomed started to slowly rotate, causing a demonic blue light to appear in Shi Ling’s eyes at this moment. After that, in Shi Ling’s heart, an instinctive desire to fight began to attack Shi Ling’s body, causing a strange smile to appear on his face.
At the same time, Shi Ling’s fighting strength also increased rapidly, especially that terrifying sword Qi which was so close to the First Layer of the Sword Qi. The swords of several of his opponents were instantly sliced apart by Shi Ling’s wooden sword.
Shi Ling whispered, “Afterimage Killing Technique!”
After that, a speck of light condensed on the tip of the Mysterious Wood Sword and fiercely slashed down on a dozen experts at the peak of the Spirit Accumulation Realm. Immediately, a loud bang rang out and the power of a Level 2 martial art exploded outwards.
However, the other three early stage Body Tempering realm experts and Zhang Yushui took advantage of this opportunity to rush towards Shi Ling. Zhang Yushui waved her sword at Shi Ling, and an astonishing sword aura flew out. As Shi Ling was too close to his opponent, he was unable to dodge it.
His body spun a few rounds in midair, and as he landed, another initial Body Tempering stage expert appeared. The long sword in his hand chopped towards Shi Ling’s neck, intending to kill him with a single slash.
However, at this moment, as Shi Ling’s body spun in midair, the Mysterious Wood Sword in his hand directly slashed at the initial Body Tempering stage expert. With a light ripping sound, the expert wasn’t even able to cry out before he was chopped into two halves by Shi Ling’s Mysterious Wood Sword.
At this moment, Shi Ling landed firmly on the ground. However, blood was still flowing out from the corner of his mouth. It was evident that he was injured by the sword aura that Zhang Yuquan had released earlier.
While Shi Ling was gritting his teeth and enduring the pain on his body, his gaze landed on the green leaf in Zhang Yuquan’s collar. Just now, when Shi Ling was fighting with him, he had thrown the fragrant leaves into his collar.
As Shi Ling watched the experts surround him again, he turned to look at the Demonic Wolves, only to realize that the Demonic Wolves were already approaching. He turned to Zhang Yushui and said, “Grandson, grandpa won’t play with you today. I’ll definitely ask for your head another day!”
After saying this, Shi Ling sheathed his Mystic Wood Sword and stabbed it into the back of his body. He then unleashed Ghastly Shadow, instantly killing off the group of Spirit Accumulation Realm disciples. Zhang Yuquan shouted, “Do you think you can escape?”
With that, Zhang Yuquan called over a group of experts to surround Shi Ling. Normally, when Shi Ling was faced with so many people, he would definitely be surrounded by these experts. At that time, he would never be able to escape, but it was different now.
A loud beast roar sounded out, Zhang Yuquan and a group of experts turned their heads at the same time, only to see that the Demonic Wolves were already closing in on them. Many of the experts immediately dispersed, and Zhang Yuquan’s face became even paler, because the other party was actually biting towards him.
Zhang Yuquan suddenly waved the sword in his hand. Immediately, strands of strong sword aura shot out and landed on the body of the wolf demon. Instantly, it cut through the wolf demon’s tough skin, causing a lot of blood to flow out.
However, this also completely infuriated the wolf demon. Immediately, it bit towards Zhang Yuquan with its scarlet eyes. When the surrounding experts saw this scene, their faces turned pale with fright as they rushed over to rescue Zhang Yuquan.
As for the matter with Shi Ling, they had long since forgotten about it. Now, they were fully focused on dealing with the Demonic Wolves.
However, a 400 year old wolf demon was equivalent to a Blood Solidification Realm cultivator. How could these Body Tempering realm experts possibly be its opponent? Even if they had the numbers, what could they do? It had even bitten one of them.
For a moment, the Zhang Clan’s mortality rate skyrocketed. A large number of experts had died at the mouth of the Demonic Wolf. Even Zhang Yushui was covered in blood from the attack.
While Zhang Yushui was fighting the Demonic Wolf, her gaze shifted to the fleeing Shi Ling. Immediately, she let out a loud howl towards the sky.
In the distance, the corner of Shi Ling’s mouth curled up slightly. When he heard Zhang Yuquan’s loud roar, he could not help but snort and then speed up. Not long after, he left that area.
He turned around and saw another wolf demon, which was even larger in size, charging towards Shi Ling. Shi Ling’s pupils constricted, and was about to pull out his black wooden sword at the same time. However, Shi Ling suddenly saw a figure standing on top of the wolf demon’s head.
From the looks of it, it seemed like Gongsun Jie was controlling the wolf demon. Although Shi Ling had already seen Gongsun Jie, the cautious Shi Ling still jumped onto the side of a fifty meter tall mountain. If the wolf demon suddenly bit towards Shi Ling, Shi Ling could cut down the rocks behind him, and by then, even if a large amount of rocks rolled down, it would still be able to stop it for a while.
When Gongsun Jie saw Shi Ling’s actions, he couldn’t help but shake his head with a smile. He immediately controlled the wolf demon to a stop a hundred meters in front of Shi Ling and said, “Let’s go!” “Now leave this place.”
After saying that, Gongsun Jie patted the ground beside him. Seeing that Gongsun Jie was indeed able to control the Demonic Wolf, Shi Ling heaved a sigh of relief. With a leap, he landed on top of the Demonic Wolf’s head.
Soon after, Gongsun Jie rode his Demonic Wolf and dashed off into the distance. Shi Ling looked at this Demonic Wolf with a slightly astonished expression and exclaimed, “Senior Brother Gongsun, you’ve subdued it just like that!”
Shi Ling had never imagined that this 500 year old wolf demon would be subdued by Gongsun Jie in less than an hour. At this moment, Gongsun Jie smiled and said, “Have you forgotten my profession?”
When Shi Ling heard this, he couldn’t help but burst out laughing. “It seems that the one you guys shouldn’t offend in the future will be the alchemist. No one knows what kind of weird pills you guys are hiding in your gourds.”
Gongsun Jie’s face lit up with pride, but he continued to stare back at Shi Ling. He grabbed him by the collar and said, “Oh yes, there’s one more thing. Did you just say something about pulling out my incense?”
At that moment, he let out a dry laugh and said, “Senior Brother, you don’t need to suggest anything. At that time, I did not have any ideas, and the essence of the Ancient Fragrance is not on the leaf, so you did not suffer much damage. Besides, if I did not lure the other wolf demon away, you would not have been able to subdue this wolf demon, right?”
When Gongsun Jie heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched. He immediately let go of the hand that was holding onto Shi Ling’s collar. He turned his head to the side and said, “Forget it. I won’t bother with you this time.”
When Shi Ling heard this, he heaved a sigh of relief. However, Gongsun Jie changed the topic and said: “However, once you return to the Spirit Sword Sect, you must return the money to me! A total of five hundred gold coins! ”
As he spoke, he extended five fingers towards Shi Ling, but Shi Ling didn’t know what to say. “I say, Senior Brother Gongsun, aren’t you being too stingy?” Five hundred gold coins, you still have to care about it! ”
Gongsun Jie smiled craftily and said, “Of course.”
At this time, Shi Ling was too lazy to argue with him about this. He saw Gongsun Jie suddenly take out a jade slip and hand it over to Shi Ling. Shi Ling took a look and saw a long sword engraved on the jade slip.
Gongsun Jie laughed, “Five thousand gold per piece!”
This Gongsun Jie in front of him was truly not an ordinary greedy person, but it didn’t matter. If he could get a promotion jade slip now, it would save him a lot of trouble. He immediately said, “I understand. When we return to the sect, I will return it to you.”
At this moment, Gongsun Jie chuckled sinisterly. Previously, when he was taming this wolf demon, he had accidentally found two jade tokens to promote himself. However, he only needed one, so he sold the other one to Shi Ling for a high price.
Immediately, Gongsun Jie said, “Alright, let’s do it this way. You are already far from Zhang Yuquan and the others. You should be able to walk by yourself, right?”
Shi Ling was stunned for a moment. He knew the other party had sent out the order to expel him, but he didn’t say anything. He kept the promotions properly and jumped down from there.
Gongsun Jie stood on the head of the wolf and waved goodbye. The same went for Shi Ling.
As he watched Gongsun Jie and the wolf demon leave, Shi Ling turned around and left as well. Now that he had the promotion jade slip, he wanted to search for the temple here.
In the Secret Dimension, although there are a lot of different kinds of treasures and there are countless of them, the prerequisite is that you have to find them. If you cannot find them, then everything will be for nothing, so, what should you do after the disciples in the Secret Dimension have used up all the resources that you brought in from the sect?
Of course, they were heading to the temples here. Within the secret realm, there was a strange energy within each temple. One could feel the presence of spiritual energy within the temples and also find a large amount of supplies to replenish.
However, there was a prerequisite for entering the temple, and that was that one had to obtain a piece of promotion jade in order to enter. Furthermore, only one person could enter at a time.
Although Shi Ling had plenty of materials on him, he would try his best to use them in the temple, given the fact that he didn’t need to.
Shi Ling followed the directions on the promotions list and soon found a nearby temple. From the outside, the temple looked rather dilapidated, and was no different from the temples in the outside world. Shi Ling did not hesitate and walked directly towards the temple.
However, right at this moment, Shi Ling felt a chill on his neck. Immediately, a sharp longsword was pressed against his neck. At this moment, Shi Ling’s pupils constricted.
