A group of enraged demon cultivators finally attacked together. Leaping high from the Thunder Lizard, they surged towards Yang Cheng with True Essence of various colors!
The Dharmic arts of the demon cultivators were all innate. There were all sorts of gales, tornadoes, stone vortexes, blazing flames and icy breaths, but all of them were not inferior to the Dharmic arts of human cultivators.
Relying on his strong body, Yang Cheng withstood all the ordinary demonic attacks. After all, channeling his True Essence to defend was a huge consumption as well.
From time to time, the Samadhi True Fire that appeared on his fists and legs made the demon cultivators scream.
Most of the 20 demon cultivators were at Grade 3 and Grade 4. Against the Samadhi True Fire, they had to expend a large amount of True Essence to defend themselves and could not avoid it at all.
Impatient, Yang Cheng took out the Blood Wyrm Golden Dagger that he had not used for a long time from his mustard Sumeru Ring. This was a mid-superior-grade Dharmic treasure that had the characteristic of making it difficult for wounds to heal. It was especially useful against these strong demon cultivators.
The golden gleam cut through the torsos of the demon cultivators continuously as if it was invincible!
After a few rounds of chaotic battles, Yang Cheng crushed the skulls of several demon cultivators with his gigantic hands. The Samadhi True Fire also burned the bodies of several demon cultivators and his killing intent surged like waves!
Hu Xiao's skills were not ordinary either. However, his attempts to injure Yang Cheng with his sharp claws were all in vain. Instead, his arm was slashed and blood flowed non-stop!
In his fury, Hu Xiao's body expanded by more than a foot. As his muscles bulged, a faint silver aura circulated.
"Watch how I crush your heart!"
Hu Xiao roared and charged towards Yang Cheng's face with an unstoppable attack, like a golden-white sharp blade that wanted to penetrate everything in its path!
The condensed True Essence was indeed comparable to the full-powered attack of a Six Frost Water Tribulation cultivator. Yang Cheng did not want to waste too much True Essence to defend against it head-on. Relying on his superior speed, he had long planned to dodge.
However, the moment he moved, he realized that he had fallen into Hu Xiao's trap!
Hui Lin, who was behind him, was exposed in front of Hu Xiao at this moment!
Yang Cheng secretly cursed Hu Xiao's cunning. The moment he passed by Hu Xiao, the Golden Blood Dragon Blade in his hand shot towards his back!
Only then did Hu Xiao manage to dodge it. He roared unwillingly, "Consider yourself lucky! Brothers, retreat!! "
After fighting for a while, Hu Xiao understood that they were no match for Yang Cheng. Since the gap in cultivation couldn't be made up by numbers, continuing to fight would be suicide!
However, how could Yang Cheng allow the tiger to return to the mountain? Seeing that the group of people were trying their best to escape, it was clear that they were going to get reinforcements to continue looking for trouble. He immediately became anxious.
Not caring about consuming too much true essence, Yang Cheng's two hands ignited with two long dragons of Samadhi True Fire, and he flew up and fiercely lashed out!
Like a bloody long blade that pierced through the forest, the platinum fire dragon lunged at the demon cultivators amidst tragic cries!
All of a sudden, the remaining dozen or so demon cultivators who had already retreated, together with the Thunder Lizards that they were holding onto, were ignited and burnt into powder!
Hu Xiao's cultivation was higher than his subordinates. He used all his strength to escape and finally managed to put some distance between them and the Samadhi True Fire.
Seeing that it would be difficult to catch Hu Xiao in a short time, Yang Cheng had to give up. After all, he still needed to take care of Hui Lin.
Such an encounter scared Hui Lin out of her wits. The girl realized that she had no ability to protect herself. Seeing that Yang Cheng had returned with a gloomy expression, she asked in a low voice, "Brother Yang, did we offend someone powerful?"
Yang Cheng forced a smile. "Look at his unlucky appearance. I don't think he has any powerful backing. Don't worry."
Looking at the wreckage and bloodstains on the ground, Hui Lin said faintly, "It's all my fault … I've always been a burden to Brother Yang and Sister."
"Alright, if you have time to talk nonsense, help me check the goods on these Thunder Lizards!" Yang Cheng patted the girl's head lightly, afraid that she would do something stupid.
Hui Lin came back to her senses. Looking at the huge Thunder Lizard, she was a little scared, but she braced herself and walked to the side to check the big sacks.
After a quick look, they found that the sacks were filled with food and wine stored by the demon cultivators. There were also many colorful Spirit Stones.
These Spirit Stones were crystal-like and colorful. They looked like crystals of various colors, but they were full of Spiritual Qi.
The value of the Spirit Stones was determined by the concentration of Spiritual Qi. Yang Cheng took some Spirit Stones with higher concentration of Spiritual Qi and stored them in his mustard seed Sumeru Ring. He used some of the bigger Spirit Stones with thinner Spiritual Qi as consumables to replenish his True Essence.
Once they started fighting, they could feel the thinness of the Spiritual Qi in the Demon Realm. It was just a simple group fight, but Yang Cheng could clearly feel that the True Essence in his Dantian had been consumed. If it was a real battle between experts, without Spirit Stones to replenish his True Essence, wouldn't he be exhausted in less than 15 minutes?
However, Yang Chen didn't have to think too much about it. Hu Xiao was likely to go back to get help. Since he had spirit stones that could be replenished now, it was better to take Huilin with him and rush for a distance to avoid him as much as possible.
As for the Thunder Lizard, Yang Cheng could only give up riding it.
But when Yang Cheng was about to ask Hui Lin to hurry up, he heard Hui Lin exclaim. She looked at the big sack on the back of the last Thunder Lizard with a surprised face.
Yang Cheng walked closer and found that the sack did not contain any food or Spirit Stones, but a trembling girl in a yellow dress!
The girl looked to be about 16 years old. She had a delicate face and was not very beautiful, but her figure was curvaceous. Her yellow dress was torn and dirty, and there were tear stains and dirt on her face. It was obvious that she had cried a lot.
Seeing Yang Cheng and Hui Lin, the girl in the big sack begged in fear, "Don't … don't kill me … I'm not a robber …"
The girl's fearful and timid gaze immediately aroused Hui Lin's pity. She went forward to pull the sack down and let the girl out.
"Don't be afraid, my Brother Yang won't kill you. Are you also a demon cultivator here?" Hui Lin gently patted the girl's shoulder and asked with a gentle smile.
Yang Cheng observed carefully for a while and said, "You should have just transformed not long ago. Your cultivation is much lower than that of the group of people just now."
The girl nodded cautiously, "I … I'm just a little demon who just reached the first stage …"
Yang Cheng thought that was true. But what made him feel strange was that the demon cultivators who had reached the first stage should have the cultivation of the early stage of the Three Yang Fire Tribulation, but the demon cultivators here were barely at the fourth or fifth stage.
Could it be that the Ten Thousand Demon Realm not only affected him, but also suppressed the strength of these demon cultivators?
In fact, Yang Cheng did not know that this idea was very close. After all, there was a good reason why the Ten Thousand Demon Realm was used to suppress these demon cultivators.
The demon race's demand for Qi of Heaven and Earth far exceeded that of human cultivators. In a foreign land like the Ten Thousand Demon Realm where spiritual Qi was thin and communication between heaven and earth was difficult, the demon race's strength was naturally greatly reduced.
At this moment, Hui Lin did not think as much as Yang Cheng. She had been practicing Buddhism since young. Although she did not really become a monk, she was very compassionate and could not bear to see people suffering.
At this moment, Hui Lin asked with concern, "Sister, what's your name? Why are you in the sack?"
The girl seemed to be infected by Hui Lin's gentleness and relaxed a little. She answered softly, "I … I'm Xiao Xue. I was passing by here to return to Tianhe City by the Tongtian Lake. My house is there, but I was accidentally bumped into by those big demons and they caught me …"
Hearing this, one could tell that it was most likely the same as they wanted to capture Huilin. Seeing that this little demoness had no foundation and was rather pretty, they wanted to rob the Bewitching Residence in the city so that the forces behind them could earn some benefits.
"By the Tongtian Lake?" When Hui Lin heard this, she was overjoyed and said, "Isn't that great? Brother Yang and I are also going to Tongtian Lake. Your house is there, so you must know the nearest way. Why don't you come with us?"
When Yang Cheng heard this, he did not know whether to laugh or cry. He said, "Hui Lin, not only will there be danger if you go with us, I have to protect you. If I protect her too, won't it be more dangerous?"
Hui Lin pouted and said, "No way, she is a first stage demon cultivator. I am not even at the Soul Forming Stage, so my strength is definitely not as high as Xiao Xue's. Moreover, Brother Yang, do you have the heart to leave her here? What if those bad demons come looking for trouble, won't she be in trouble again? "
Yang Chen was rendered speechless by the girl's words. What she said wasn't wrong, but he still hesitated to bring an unfamiliar little demoness along with him on the way.
Xiao Xue seemed to be able to sense Hui Lin's kindness. At this moment, she threw herself on the ground and knelt in front of Yang Cheng. She said in a sorrowful voice, "Lord, Xiao Xue is just an ordinary little demon in the Demon Realm. If there is any danger, you just need to take care of this lady, Xiao Xue will not have any complaints.
Xiao Xue knows the nearest way to Tongtian Lake. With Xiao Xue leading the way, it will save you some time. Aren't you new here? Xiao Xue can introduce you to a lot of things in the Demon Realm. "
This little demon was smart. After hearing the conversation between Yang Cheng and Hu Xiao, she quickly threw out a tempting message.
Indeed, although Yang Cheng had a preliminary understanding of the Demon Realm, he still had a lot of questions. It would definitely be helpful to have a "guide" along the way.
Seeing that Yang Cheng was still hesitating, Hui Lin could not help but pull Yang Cheng's hand, "Brother Yang, please help her. Those people are not your match, Xiao Xue is so pitiful …"
In the end, Yang Cheng could not resist this girl's temper. Perhaps Hui Lin could not care less about her own situation at this moment, so he nodded and agreed.
