Chapter 686 - 292: Displaying Remarkable Skill
Chu Ning saw the situation, yet showed no panic, his left hand continued to control the flying sword.
His right fist kept pounding out.
One after another, the Golden Armor Divine Shadow Fist infused with the Qi of Geng Metal was launched, forcing the Mountain Mink Eagle to not approach at all!
At this moment, the Tier Six Demon Beast that had just flown far away was directly killed under the attack of Chu Ning’s three flying swords, even though it had mobilized its demon core.
The Tier Six Mountain Mink Eagle that failed to attack Chu Ning finally realized something was amiss at this moment.
After Chu Ning struck down with a punch, this demon immediately flapped its wings to fly away.
But how could Chu Ning let it escape like this.
With the Divine Wind Escape Technique, his figure flickered and had already chased after it.
The Tier Six Mountain Mink Eagle was clearly taken aback when it saw Chu Ning’s flying escape speed was so fast.
"Chirp!"
This demon let out a sharp cry, then dived headfirst into the island below.
Then it retracted its wings, turning into a creature similar to a mountain mink, and directly burrowed into the ground.
Its speed was even faster than its previous flight.
Chu Ning was seeing a winged demon beast’s Earth Escape Technique so remarkable for the first time.
However, trying to escape using earth escape in front of him was clearly a wrong idea for this demon.
Retrieving the magical treasure flying sword that had already flown ahead, Chu Ning followed the fall of the demon, his body directly sinking into the ground.
The Spirit Earth Shadow Escape Technique was unfolded, and he chased straight after the demon.
At the same time, he spat out, and the Earth Spirit Sword was brought forth again.
The Earth Attribute Spirit Sword’s assault in such soil environment became increasingly fierce, slashing directly onto the Tier Six Demon Beast ahead.
After a few rounds, this Tier Six Mountain Mink Eagle was slain by Chu Ning.
And Chu Ning also lifted the corpse of this demon beast and broke out of the ground directly.
All this happened within just a few breaths.
Inside the array, the eyes of Chang Lingshan and the others were increasingly filled with astonishment.
Previously, none of them had seen how exactly Chu Ning slew the demon beast.
Upon seeing it now, everyone felt even more the might of Chu Ning’s divine techniques.
Seeing Chu Ning already starting to tidy up those demon beast corpses inside the island, Chang Lingshan held the Restriction Jade Token and led the others out of the array.
The group quietly stood there, waiting for Chu Ning to collect all the demon beast corpses, before calmly walking over to them.
Finally, Chang Lingshan with a complex expression of admiration said:
"Junior Brother Chu, today I truly witnessed your divine techniques, it’s really breathtaking!"
Han Shihong immediately chimed in:
"Indeed, whether it’s magical treasures or divine technique spells, Fellow Daoist Chu far surpasses middle stage Golden Core cultivators, it’s really an eye-opener for us."
And He Yongzhi and Wu Rongfeng also repeatedly praised.
Chu Ning then gave a slight smile and said:
"It’s nothing, all of you are injured, previously when the array exploded, the lightning attack was blocked by the Gold and Silver Bird in front of me more, so my injuries aren’t as severe.
Though there are many of these demon beasts, they don’t know how to perform combined attacks, and they come in scattered, so it’s not much different from fighting individually."
Of course, Chu Ning also understood that after showing some means today, perhaps these people besides gratitude, may also regard him with some dread.
But he didn’t mind it much in his heart.
Though he showed his methods while slaying these demon beasts, what these people truly saw wasn’t much.
For instance, the Void Finger, Illusion God Needle, Nine Derivations Body Refining Technique, and several other secret techniques, they didn’t witness any of those.
Meanwhile, appropriately revealing some strength is not without its benefits to him.
Of course, Chu Ning actually felt that these few people probably won’t go around broadcasting today’s events.
After all, everyone’s a middle stage Golden Core cultivator, spreading it like that would make them seem quite pitiable.
Noticing Chu Ning pass over the topic so gracefully, they didn’t continue the conversation down that path.
Chang Lingshan then turned and asked:
"Junior Brother Chu, are there any more demon beasts coming?"
Chu Ning used his spiritual sense for a moment, shook his head and said:
"I don’t sense any at the moment.
Actually, there was something else Chu Ning hadn’t mentioned.
Just the Tier Six Demon Beasts alone, he had slain thirty-four, plus the Tier Five ones, probably more than a hundred in total.
Even though the Central Sea Region is vast, with many Tier Five and Six Demon Beasts,
after killing so many demon beasts in a short time, no more should be coming anytime soon.
Hearing this, Chang Lingshan immediately breathed a sigh of relief and suggested:
"Since that’s the case, why don’t we hurry back to the city, to avoid any extra complications."
The others had no objections, and the five of them immediately flew towards the Inner Sea region.
The journey was peaceful, and upon reaching the inner sea island, they used the teleportation array to return directly to the Lower City of Ice Island Immortal City.
All five were middle stage Golden Core cultivators, naturally, they resided in the Upper City.
After crossing the Ascension Platform, they reached the Upper City, where they exchanged farewells and parted ways.
"Fellow Daoist Chu, we really have you to thank this time, thanks to your help my wife and I returned safely. If there’s anything you need from us in the future, just let us know."
At this moment, He Yongzhi and Wu Rongfeng expressed their gratitude to Chu Ning once again.
Hearing this, Chu Ning originally intended to say some polite words.
But after a moment’s thought, he said:
"No need for such courtesies, I indeed need some artifact refining materials. If you have any news, please let me know."
With this, Chu Ning mentioned the remaining Nine Rites Gold and Star Core Sand needed to refine the Golden Spirit Sword.
Before He Yongzhi could speak, Wu Rongfeng had already said first:
"Don’t worry, Fellow Daoist Chu, we’ll inquire around, if there’s any news, we’ll notify you first thing."
After that, they parted without further exchange of courtesies.
Chu Ning and Chang Lingshan headed towards the direction of their cave mansions, and when they reached the outside of the cave mansion, Chang Lingshan stopped and said:
"Junior Brother Chu, the couple He Yongzhi and Wu Rongfeng has quite a wide circle of acquaintances. Fellow Daoist Wu Rongfeng has some connections with the Divine Sound Valley.
If they really put in effort to search, they might truly help you find the remaining materials."
Upon hearing this, Chu Ning was a bit surprised.
"Fellow Daoist Wu has connections with the Divine Sound Valley? Then why is he still doing loose cultivation in this Ice Island Immortal City?"
"That I don’t know." Chang Lingshan shook his head.
Chu Ning didn’t ask further, feeling a bit more hopeful about whether they could bring him some good news.
The two bid farewell outside the cave mansion, with Chu Ning returning to his own cave mansion.
He first replanted the Snow Crystal Ganoderma, then released the Golden Thunder Eagle and took out some demon beast meat to feed the two eagles.
Only then did he come to the spacious courtyard, bringing out the demon beasts one by one, and began to extract their demon cores.
In just a short while, a pile of demon cores appeared in front of Chu Ning.
