Chapter 309 - Chapter 309 Chapter 309 Ninth Layer of Core Formation
Chapter 309: Chapter 309: Ninth Layer of Core Formation Chapter 309: Chapter 309: Ninth Layer of Core Formation What?
Jiang Fan’s expression shook with excitement as he said, “Please, senior, guide me!”
The enemies he encountered were growing in number and strength.
He desperately needed to enhance his physique to gain another life-saving advantage.
Xu Qingyang, being a friend of Ling Jinghu at the same level, might possess such resources.
Xu Qingyang said, “Zhou Qidan, the Supreme Elder of the Myriad Swords Sect, possesses a bottle of Poison Dragon Essence.”
“She obtained it many years ago when she stumbled upon an ancient cave during an outer domain expedition.”
“This essence comes from a Poison Dragon Demon Emperor of the Nascent Soul Realm.”
“Although its effect is not as profound as the Demon Emperor Essence in the hands of the Spirit Beast Sect Master, it is still a divine object for body refinement.”
“Even the Giant Sect Master has sought it for years without success.”
The Demon Emperor Essence in Gong Caiyi’s hands was from the top-grade Demon Emperor, Howling Moon Sky Wolf, who was nearing the Divinity Transformation Realm at his peak.
This Poison Dragon Demon Emperor was naturally far inferior to Howling Moon Sky Wolf.
Therefore, its bone marrow effect was equally inferior.
But that was relative.
Considering how terrifying a Demon Emperor was, the Nine Sect Supreme Elders had the most say in it.
They were forced to treat it as a formidable enemy.
It was imaginable how precious a bottle of Demon Emperor’s bone marrow was!
Jiang Fan’s eyes sparkled with excitement, but he soon calmed down and smiled bitterly:
“How could a junior like me obtain what even the Giant Sect Master couldn’t?”
Xu Qingyang laughed heartily, “Just ask boldly.”
“I will give you a heads up in advance.”
Ling Jinghu beside them was stunned.
Xu Qingyang was willing to owe Zhou Qidan, the Supreme Elder, a massive favor for Jiang Fan!
She didn’t think that such a precious Poison Dragon Essence could be given away just by Xu Qingyang’s word.
It surely required a huge favor in return.
She quickly understood that Xu Qingyang wanted to repay Jiang Fan for the healing grace in another way, seeing that he couldn’t grasp the Sword Control Technique.
However, this favor was quite significant.
Jiang Fan also realized it.
Such a peerless treasure couldn’t be acquired just by a greeting.
After a brief thought, he said, “Senior, what kind of item does Senior Zhou Qidan fancy?”
“It wouldn’t be appropriate for a junior like me to go empty-handed.”
Xu Qingyang laughed briefly.
This guy still thought he could impress a Supreme Elder?
Not hiding the truth, he said, “She has been collecting high-grade demon beast materials recently.”
“However, she wouldn’t even glance at materials below mid-stage Core Formation.”
Jiang Fan slightly nodded.
He happened to have a Silver Winged Thunderbird Demon Core at mid-stage Core Formation.
It could barely suffice.
However, exchanging it for Poison Dragon Bone Marrow was clearly far from enough.
He felt disheartened.
Just then.
There was a sudden writhing beneath Jiang Fan’s robe.
The Little Qilin suddenly awakened and began squealing in Jiang Fan’s mind:
“Something’s wrong!
There’s a bad guy coming.”
Bad guy?
Jiang Fan was slightly puzzled but immediately became alert.
Whoosh——
Suddenly!
A rapid sound of something piercing through the air echoed without any warning.
Already on alert, Jiang Fan instantly caught sight of a lightning-fast shadow in the corner of his eye, shooting towards a Desires Sect disciple!
Without hesitation, he used his movement technique.
With unparalleled speed, he slashed his sword!
Just as the Sword Qi was released.
A figure in a green robe flickered forward.
With a single hand, he grabbed the shadow.
It turned out to be a black feather, as sharp as an iron arrow!
The person who caught it was, of course, Xu Qingyang!
With a single squeeze, he crushed the feather, looking at Jiang Fan in surprise and said:
“Kid, you even excel in movement technique?”
He was closer to the Desires Sect disciple.
ɴονǥօ.сο
But Jiang Fan almost acted faster than him.
This surprised him greatly.
Jiang Fan sheathed his sword in time, his eyes fixed on the feather’s source, and said solemnly, “Senior, now is not the time to discuss this!”
“It seems we’ve been overtaken by demon beasts!”
These demon beasts were ones that even Jin Yunlie fled from!
The green-robed elder’s strength was no greater than Jin Yunlie’s; how could he be so relaxed?
Xu Qingyang gave a wry smile.
His gaze focused on the direction from which the feather came.
His eyes revealed a chill.
If these demon beasts had blocked his way a few days ago, he would indeed be in danger.
But his strength had now recovered to fifty percent.
The beasts that could kill him were few in number!
And they certainly didn’t include the black ferocious bird in the sky.
“Just a mid-stage Core Formation Beast King, and you dare chase me?”
Xu Qingyang snorted coldly.
He joined his fingers to form a sword gesture, pointing it into the air.
Whoosh——
A stone beneath his feet instantly flew out.
Its speed was unparalleled.
The stone’s friction with the air produced sparks and emitted an ear-piercing booming sound.
The strength of this strike made Jiang Fan gasp.
So this was the Great Success of the Sword Control Technique, where everything could be used as a sword!
The black ferocious bird was also shocked, hurriedly flapping its wings to dodge, but the strike was too fast!
It couldn’t evade.
Just as the stone was about to pierce its chest.
A giant skeletal hand suddenly reached out from the monster bird’s back.
The palm wasn’t big, but its five fingers were as long as ancient trees, sharp and exaggerated.
They resembled giant spears multiplied by ten!
The giant hand grabbed the stone.
The terrifying heat on the stone produced black smoke as it rubbed against the bone claws.
But it successfully blocked the stone.
Xu Qingyang’s expression changed slightly: “Cold Bone, one of the Ten Great War Generals under the Demon Emperor?”
“So, it was indeed you ambushing me!”
The Demon Emperor commanded numerous powerful demon beasts.
Besides the renowned Four Great Demon Kings.
The Ten Great War Generals were equally feared.
Each was said to possess the strength of a Nine Sect Supreme Elder.
The skeletal beast in front of them was indeed Cold Bone, one of the Ten Great War Generals.
Xu Qingyang had suspected it earlier, seeing the marks on those bodies.
Now it was confirmed to be Cold Bone’s doing.
As he finished speaking.
A bizarre demon beast, resembling a giant ape but entirely skeletal, slowly crawled from the bird’s back.
Its colossal bone claws, even larger than its body, were even more terrifying.
Its head embedded with two blood pearl-like eyes stared down coldly at them.
Ling Jinghu gasped, “A top-level Beast King of the Ninth Layer of Core Formation!”
What?
The disciples’ faces changed drastically.
Even Jiang Fan’s heart pounded wildly.
The Ninth Layer of Core Formation?
No wonder Jin Yunlie didn’t dare to pick up the Red-Scaled Evil Flood Dragon’s tooth.
The one ambushing him was such a terrifying existence at the level of a Supreme Elder!
Cold Bone stared at Xu Qingyang with a serious expression.
It was also shocked.
How could Xu Qingyang’s injuries recover so quickly, far beyond expectation?
Back then, Sky-Devouring Tiger was gravely harmed, hanging on by a thread.
The Young Master had to cut open her wrist to use her Demon Emperor Essence Blood to save Sky-Devouring Tiger.
According to Sky-Devouring Tiger, Xu Qingyang’s injuries weren’t any lighter than his.
It was a miracle he was alive now.
But looking at Xu Qingyang, he showed no signs of severe injuries.
It spoke in the demon race’s language, ordering, “Black Hawk, notify the other Beast Kings immediately!”
“I’ll try to stall him!”
With that, it leaped down.
Unfolding its giant bone claws, it attacked Xu Qingyang.
Xu Qingyang scoffed, “Just in time!”
His Qi Force surged around him, and invisible Sword Qi emanated from within, piercing the air along with his Sword Heart.
Boom——
The clash between the two happened in an instant.
Jiang Fan only saw two shadows converge and separate immediately.
He couldn’t see the battle process clearly at all.
He was shocked: “So this is a battle between the strong?”
“Ordinary people aren’t even qualified to watch!”
