Chapter 603: 0379 Xuan Yan Transforms into a Phoenix (Seeking Monthly Tickets and Subscriptions)_2

"Indeed, that time is when the snake is most vulnerable."

Lu Chenzhou hadn’t expected that his first encounter with a mutant beast would be with a Grandmaster-level one.

It’s just a pity that this Black Water Profound Snake’s level is too low; otherwise, it should serve as a catalyst for the transformation path of "Ling Kong Four Symbols Fist."

By the time it ascends to the Heavenly Realm, the opportunity would have long passed.

The strength of the fowl and beast race is their long lifespan; the downside is their slow promotion.

Just look at Brother Tiger; it’s been several years since he started on the path of cultivation, occasionally sipping some Emperor’s Liquid, yet he hasn’t broken through the shackles.

...

Three days later.

In a wilderness outside the Hang City Base City, at a certain outpost.

"Quick, sound the air raid alarm! A flying demon tide is attacking."

"Leading the charge is the Five Patterns Demon King, Black Jue!"

"Quickly, go invite Master Ye Ming, number 36 on the Earth List!"

Hundreds of bat-like creatures, emitting a great demon aura and covered in scales, came attacking.

The leader was a burly figure, standing about a zhang tall with twin wings, breathing fire from its nostrils, emanating a late Third Realm aura.

Black Jue, the little Demon King, is considered a major scourge in the Jiangnan Region, with a bounty of 40,000 battle merit.

Its power is average, but being able to fly and having agile movements has caused many strong individuals aiming to hunt it to return in defeat.

After a while, the soldiers on the stronghold’s wall stood dumbfounded.

It seemed that those great demons in mid-air were blocked by a figure descending from the sky.

Then, accompanied by the earth-shattering sound of a Heavenly Dragon, that person hovered in mid-air, plucking strings.

Circles of golden giant swords fell like stones into a pond, creating ripples that spread in all directions.

Wherever it passed, one great demon after another fell to the ground.

Black Jue the little Demon King, inciting sorcery, caused a black gale to appear out of nowhere, sweeping towards that figure, while it trembled:

"You... Are you Lu Chenzhou?!"

"Indeed!"

With a flick of his arms, like a swallow flipping in the air, Lu Chenzhou easily dodged the black wind and appeared in front of Black Jue the little Demon King in an instant, striking out with a punch.

"My father is the [Night Slaying Demon King], you..."

Crack, the little Demon King, a headache for many Earth List experts, had its demon head explode in an instant, its body fell to the ground, not finishing its sentence.

[Chuyan Chaofeng Fist: Fifth Rank (Perfection)]

Gazing at the prompt on the Martial Arts Tree, Lu Chenzhou displayed a satisfied look.

He came all this way practicing the Swallow Form Fist, preparing for the promotion to the Sixth Rank.

"Chuyan Chaofeng Fist," as the name implies, after cultivating this fist technique to perfection... you should then practice the Phoenix Form Fist.

Swallow Form, holds no future.

In the current world, Grandmasters of the Swallow Form are scarce, possibly one or two at most.

The Swallow Form Fist has only one Lower Divine Skill, named "Great River Sky Swallow Spring Water Technique," created by the former leader of the Great River Gang, Yan Kuangsheng. It can be exchanged for at the battle merit store for fifty thousand battle merit. However, inner strength mind methods cannot be practiced concurrently. Since he already primarily practices the Tiger Form, there’s no reason for him to switch to the Swallow Form inner strength.

This "Chuyan Chaofeng Fist" is also a special fist technique created by a current Swallow Form Grandmaster.

Its power is average, mainly accumulating Phoenix Form foundation, facilitating the transition to the Phoenix Form.

With Lu Chenzhou’s current cultivation and martial arts mastery, he instantly integrated the Swallow-shaped Supreme True Skill.

He renamed the new fist technique to "Mystic Swallow Phoenix Fist," signifying the opening of a new phase in the Swallow Form.

[Mystic Swallow Phoenix Fist: Sixth Rank, hidden in the Shaochong Acupoint

...

Effect 12: Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix, allows the gradual transition from Swallow Form Power to Phoenix Form Power.]

With a swift movement, Lu Chenzhou disappeared into the wilderness in an instant.

Leaving the soldiers at the outpost looking at each other in dismay.

An officer awkwardly explained:

"Uh... Master Ye Ming, there’s no need for you to come now, the crisis is resolved."

"Ah? Little Li, what’s going on? I just left the city."

"Master Lu, number 66 on the Earth List, happened to pass by and resolved it casually."

"What, in just a few minutes? The demon tide has scattered?"

"Yes, although it’s unbelievable, that’s the reality."

On the other end of the phone, Master Ye Ming fell silent.

With one punch, Black Absolute Minor Demon King was instantly killed. Master Lu Chenzhou’s strength probably ranks in the top ten.

...

Hang City outskirts, Thousand Island Lake.

In the past, this area covered hundreds of square kilometers.

With the fissure between heaven and earth, the Yun Meng Lake area gradually formed, and Thousand Island Lake expanded to nearly ten thousand square kilometers.

The lake surface is dotted with islands, inhabited by Great Demons.

Suddenly, terrifying waves surged back, and a figure clad in black scales, with a bat-like head, extremely ugly, and bearing fleshy wings surged into the sky.

Night Slaying Demon King, with his true form belonging to the Bloodsucking Bat Demon clan, worships the [Blood Ancient God] of the [Blood Forbidden Zone].

"Lu Chenzhou!"

Its voice was deep, and its gaze blood-red with murderous intent.

It transformed into a streak of black light and vanished into the horizon.

...

Hang City Base City.

Jiangnan Martial Arts University, Sword Pavilion.

Lu Chenzhou strolled in, his heart filled with eager anticipation: "Elder Ye, I’ve come to collect the Divine Weapon."

Ye Changkong jokingly said, "Hahaha, with an Earth List member visiting, my humble Sword Pavilion is truly honored."

"Elder jokes."

"I heard you just killed the Black Absolute Minor Demon King?"

"Yes, I passed by an outpost and took care of it along the way."

"Then be careful when leaving Hang City... Its father is the Night Slaying Demon King, hiding in Thousand Island Lake. Several Grandmasters have tried to encircle it before, all failing."

"Is this Demon King really that formidable?"

"Though it’s only at the early stage of Four Realms, it has extremely high aptitude, can harness Heaven and Earth Power to form a strong Demon Race haunted zone, comparable to a Heavenly Phenomenon Master!"

"Thank you, elder, for informing me. I’ll be careful."

Lu Chenzhou wasn’t too worried.

Firstly, he possesses Sword Qi.

Secondly, he has the [Dustless Body], the Qi Mechanism of the Minor Demon King doesn’t affect him, and that Night Slaying Demon King is unlikely to find him.

After the chit-chat, Ye Changkong took out the first Divine Weapon.

A helmet, entirely black, with sharp angles, resembling a tiger’s head but with bull horns on its forehead.

"I crafted this Intermediate Divine Weapon embryo from the [Tiger Flood Dragon Skull], adding [Mo Yun Xuan Gold], called the [Tiger Flood Dragon Wind Helmet]. Perhaps due to the inherent divinity of the Tiger Flood Dragon Skull, this helmet was endowed with a divine trait as soon as it was forged. It pairs exceptionally well with your [Surging Gold Dividing Water Bracelet], putting it on will reveal its wonders."

Lu Chenzhou, delighted, checked it with his telekinesis and then captured the helmet in mid-air.

"Good lad, this helmet weighs 648 pounds; your spiritual power realm is not inferior to some Grandmasters."

Some Grandmasters, despite high cultivation, still have a fifth-layer Boxing Realm, such people typically don’t have strong spiritual power.

The Tiger Wave Helmet is streamlined, looking like a racecar driver’s helmet when worn.

Lu Chenzhou performed a set of Tiger Form Fist, the helmet fitted perfectly, albeit a bit heavy, as he treated it like training for Iron Head Skill.

With a whoosh, in the void, there was the endless sound of water flowing.

The Surging Gold Dividing Water Bracelet gathered the surrounding steam, manifesting streams of flowing water around him.

Simultaneously, with a thought, two high-speed spinning mini-tornadoes shot out from the horns of the helmet, continually expanding.

The water was drawn into the tornado, transforming into a Water Dragon Tornado.

Its speed was far beyond the highest level tornado in the human world.

Thus, the rapidly spinning water became two "Water Blades," plowing through the ground and slicing everything along the way.

He shattered the Water Dragon Tornado with a thought to prevent destroying the Sword Pavilion.

Meanwhile, a feeling of uncontrollable fatigue and weariness swept over his mind’s spiritual power.

"My spiritual energy has actually depleted by 80%."

Lu Chenzhou quickly took out a Great Medicine to restore spiritual power and energy, consuming it and then standing to adjust his breath.

Ye Changkong laughed: "This helmet has the ability to [Gathering Qi to Form Wind], and the bracelet can [Gathering steam to water], together they form an extraordinarily powerful [Water Dragon Tornado Technique], even ordinary Grandmasters wouldn’t dare confront it head-on. Similar to some Qi Refiner spells, though it consumes spiritual power. I’ve been in forging for over a hundred years; this helmet is surely in the top three of my works as a Divine Weapon... You should nourish it well, and it won’t be long before it advances to Top Class Divine Weapon."
