Chapter 377: Chapter 260: Mountains Descend from the Sky, Suppressing Wu Chang!_2

"Little White..."

Lin Yan tossed the Little White Ape onto the roof of the carriage and said, "Take your fierce weapons and block the evil creatures sweeping in from behind."

"Understood! Congratulations to the master for yet another grand slaughtering spree, so invigorating and joyous!" the Little White Ape exclaimed loudly.

"Rubbish! You make it sound like I revel in killing," Lin Yan said.

With a single strike, Lin Yan cleaved a deer demon ahead of him, finding it hard to suppress the smile on his lips as he felt the benefit of the Evil Qi.

Though these demons and evil spirits were not particularly advanced in their cultivation paths, their sheer number was impressive!

If he continued to slay them all this way, the benefits of the Evil Qi might rival even those of slaying that Tribulation Ash Vice Sect Hierarch!

Lin Yan also wasn’t recklessly unleashing his full Qi Mechanism.

First, it would scare away those lower-level evil creatures.

Second, it would attract evil creatures of exceedingly terrifying cultivation.

Through his Transformation Technique, he maintained his Qi Mechanism within the scope of the Inner Strength Realm.

If he were on the city walls of High Willow City, reaching the peak of Inner Strength Realm would be enough to deter ordinary wandering minor demons.

But outside High Willow City, a peak Inner Strength Realm individual was considered a highly delectable Blood Food... yet not so enticing as to drive those most vicious and evil beings mad!

At most, those allured by a member of the Human Clan at the Inner Strength Realm level were fierce and evil entities!

Generally, those in the Qi Refining Realm wouldn’t dare to be careless when facing such evil forces.

But for Lin Yan, who had reached Perfection in the Qi Refining Realm and possessed the Demon Suppression Divine Power, they could be dispatched with just one slash!

"This easy?"

Seeing how effortlessly Lin Yan was fighting, Lv Tang grew excited and was about to join in when he was entangled by one of the fierce evil spirits.

He had just mobilized his True Qi to repel this fierce and evil entity when he was suddenly pounced upon by a large demon.

With no time to react, he was clawed across the waist, left with a bloody wound!

"..."

Lv Tang silently retreated, glanced at the Little White Ape above, then looked inside the carriage and said in a muffled voice, "You just watched me get into trouble, without the slightest intention to help?"

"You charged out so eagerly, intimidating and formidable, it wouldn’t have been right to steal your thunder," the Little White Ape chuckled. "Who knew you’d be driven back after just two exchanges? Even if we wanted to help, it would have been too late..."

"Your courage is commendable," Mr. Lu expressed his appreciation and said, "However, in this treacherous night, far from the city, even those at the Qi Refining Realm won’t last. Taking this lesson is good for you, to prevent overconfidence! Otherwise, if you always think you can conquer all based on your own abilities, you will eventually die outside the city..."

"Then what about him?" Lv Tang looked at Lin Yan, who was slicing through enemies like chopping vegetables, with a complicated expression and said, "He hasn’t achieved the Refining God Realm either, right?"

"Both being in the Qi Refining Realm, you have a few strands of True Qi, but he has thousands. How can you compare?" Mr. Lu said, then added, "Moreover, do you not understand his abilities? With every demon he slays, his ferocity grows even stronger!"

"And one more thing, he’s known as ’Wu Chang,’ hating evil as if it’s his enemy, devoted to slaying demons and killing as if it’s his destiny. Can you guess why he didn’t just leave the city in the past to slay the evil creatures of the night?"

Mr. Lu continued with a smile, "Even though his ferocity peaks when he slays demons, gaining formidable power, if it weren’t for having a Refining God Realm powerhouse like me backing him up today, he wouldn’t be able to kill so freely and thoroughly!"

"Mr. Lu’s words are very true!"

Lin Yan was enjoying the killing spree, and with one slash, he toppled the bear demon in front of him.

Blood splashed on him, and his eyes became more excited.

But the strange True Qi formed from the Evil Qi didn’t cloud his mind with a killing intent.

His excitement was purely from the acquisition of Evil Qi, one after another.

In the past, he too had thought about leaving the city at night to go on a killing spree to collect Evil Qi.

But at that time, he was only at the Refining Essence Realm level, fully aware that he wasn’t yet powerful enough, and even with the Demon Suppression Divine Power, he would likely fail if he encountered a powerful demon.

Later, having reached the Qi Refining Realm and gone to Dayin River, he encountered the dragon in the night, a mysterious boat in the fog, the Life-taking Mysterious Lamp... for the first time in his life, he experienced the taste of "retreating without a fight."

From that time, he knew that he was not yet able to traverse the treacherous nights wielding the Demon Suppression Divine Power.

He had thought that once he reached the Refining God Realm, he would be qualified to sweep away all evil entities.

But today, even Mr. Lu, who existed in the Refining God Realm, wanted to find refuge in the Pure Land amidst these perilous nights.

It was clear that being in the Refining God Realm was not secure!

"So to say, facing the temptation outside the city of countless ’Evil Qi benefits,’ choosing not to act recklessly... shows foresight. Looking at it now, it was truly wise!"

Lin Yan silently thought, "Staying safely within the city to grow, today I am but a step away from the Refining God Realm. If not for wanting to create a new cultivation technique, I could advance to the Refining God Realm at any time..."

He was deeply satisfied with the choices he made back then and his achievements now.

Back then, within High Willow City, he indeed had no need to take desperate risks.

With the chance to grow safely, why choose danger?

If he had chosen to leave the city and slay in all directions, and had good fortune, he would likely be stronger now than an old-timer in the Refining God Realm like the Lord of the Residual Prison Mansion.

If he had bad luck, the demon that devoured him would probably already be dominating some territory, becoming a powerful being in the treacherous night.

"The evil entities tonight seem denser than before."

Mr. Lu’s voice came from inside the carriage, saying, "Logically, even far from the protection of the city and the deterrent of divine awe... there shouldn’t be this many demons and evil spirits in the night, innumerable as they are!"

"The more the merrier; my master likes it."

Sitting atop the carriage, the Little White Ape chuckled, "This halberd in my hand is itching for action... but I won’t steal the limelight if my master is in a killing spree."

"With a great battle comes consumption. How many times has your master drawn his blade?" Mr. Lu suddenly asked.

"Can’t count them all, but he’s been lavish with his True Qi, not frugal at all. He must have spent about three thousand threads of True Qi," replied the Little White Ape.

"Three thousand True Qi?" Lv Tang calculated in a low voice, "With my two cultivation techniques, some acupoints overlap. Combined, when reaching the peak of the Qi Refining Realm, that’s about three thousand six hundred and fifty threads of True Qi! Other acupoints, unreachable by the techniques or blocked by the difference in root bone..."

"Be content, the old ancestors of the great families within High Willow’s inner city. At the end of the Qi Refining Realm, they don’t have three thousand True Qi."

Mr. Lu calmly said, "But they possess ancient items that can hold excess True Qi, giving them a tremendous advantage."

"In the entire Qifeng Prefecture, besides the Li Shen Sect, only he has filled seven hundred and twenty acupoints, cultivating six thousand four hundred and eighty threads of True Qi," Mr. Lu continued.

"He just spent over three thousand True Qi, equivalent to a peak Qi Refining Realm figure exhausting their True Qi in this treacherous night."

"If it were the old ancestors of the inner city’s families, by now they’d only have their peak Refining Essence Realm physique to struggle before death."

"No, that’s not right. Wu Chang has even more ferocious prowess in slaughtering demons. His three thousand-plus threads of True Qi... they’re as effective as ten thousand threads of True Qi!"

With that said, Mr. Lu called out loudly, "Wu Chang, your True Qi is nearly exhausted, come back quickly! Let Lv Tang take over. The venerable one provides him with a Spirit Talisman, so he won’t be as unimpressive as before..."

"Who’s unimpressive?"

Lv Tang, feeling irritated but yet to receive a Spirit Talisman from inside the carriage, was about to ask when he heard laughter from afar.

"Truly worthy of being hailed as Qifeng Prefecture’s contemporary number one prodigy, Master Wu!"

That booming voice said, "In tonight’s darkness, the demons rage like a tempest, countless as they are!"

"Even I would exhaust all thirty thousand threads of my True Qi after such a slaughter."

"Master Wu has only spent a few thousand True Qi, and you still have a bit left."

"If you join Tribulation Ash, you’re sure to be the next Sect Hierarch!"

That voice, coming from afar, continued with a laugh, "It’s a pity, though. Today, you’ll accompany Mr. Lu to your grave!"

As the voice faded, the earth turned upside down!

In the pitch-black night, a tumultuous wind rose, and a thunderous noise erupted!

Lin Yan looked up, his pupils constricting!

He saw a mountain, falling from the sky, slamming down with oppressive force!

Everyone, able to see at night, saw that the mountain fell so fiercely that even the air didn’t have time to disperse, pressing down in rippling waves!
