"What? Is this all you've got?!"
The Demon King's entire body was covered in a blood-red glow. His demonic energy surged. Both of his claws glowed with a cold light as he attacked like a gust of wind. Both of his arms danced wildly, bringing forth rays of light that cut the surrounding ground and rocks into pieces. When this kind of Demon King level demon spirit unleashes its full power, it is indeed very frightening.
Liu Buyi had long since hidden himself in the cave. He was trembling in fear. As he trembled, he muttered, "How could such a beautiful girl be a demon spirit? It really doesn't make sense …"
Outside the cave, Lin Muyu could only defend under the Demon King's fierce attack. Both of her arms formed a shield, and she used the wind elemental law to deflect most of the Demon King's strength. She used the Falling Star Steps to retreat. In the blink of an eye, she was forced to retreat nearly a hundred meters by the Demon King.
Seeing that there was already a huge rock wall behind Lin Muyu, the Demon King's gaze became more and more ferocious. "Brat, your time of death has come!"
"Is that so?"
Lin Muyu suddenly clenched her left hand. Suddenly, an invisible ribbon appeared in the air and tightly bound the Demon King's legs. It was the Astral Chain that Lin Muyu quietly activated. The almost invisible Astral Energy formed a ribbon and tied the Demon King's body to the hundred-meter-tall rock wall, preventing it from taking another step forward.
"It's my turn!"
The Astral Sword shone brightly. As Lin Muyu's body charged forward like lightning, dozens of sword lights burst out and crisscrossed around the Demon King. "Peng Peng Peng" sounds of slashing could be heard. However, the Demon King had the demonic energy shield to protect his body, so he was only injured and not killed. His body was covered in blood, and he used all his remaining strength to swing his claws!
"Bang!"
Lin Muyu's chest tightened. Her clothes were actually torn by the Demon King's power. A few shallow wounds also appeared on her chest. This time, she was really injured. This Demon King's strength was very powerful!
Flying in the sky, he decided to change his tactic. He gently raised his palm, and a golden light descended from the sky. It was a Dragon Crystal!
"Bang!"
The Celestial Dragon Crystal heavily bombarded the Demon King's head, causing it to be badly mutilated. Lin Muyu did not stop. She summoned the remaining Divine Power in her body and kept summoning the Celestial Dragon Crystal. In the blink of an eye, dozens of Celestial Dragon Crystals bombarded the Demon King's body one after another. Lin Muyu's Divine Power was also greatly consumed in a short period of time. She raised her right hand and suddenly threw the Stars Sword!
"Xiu!"
Raging flames wrapped around the longsword as it spun rapidly in a spiral. It was the Dragon Flame Spiral Slash from a hundred meters away.
"Roar …"
The Demon King opened his mouth wide and roared. A blood-colored astral wall condensed in front of him to block Lin Muyu's fierce attack. However, how could he block it? The Stellar Sword easily broke through the astral wall and directly pierced into the Demon King's mouth. With a "pu" sound, the sword blade came out of the Demon King's head and pierced into the rocky ground. Flames soared into the sky. The Demon King's body was almost engulfed by the dragon flames.
The Demon Spirit Stone must not be burned, otherwise, the attack would be in vain.
Lin Muyu floated to the ground and stepped on the frost. Everywhere she passed, frost covered the ground. She quickly extinguished the fire but discovered that the Demon King's head was charred black. Just when Lin Muyu was about to reach it, a strong spiritual force rippled out from the Spirit Pulse Technique!
Not good, the Demon King was not dead yet!
However, it was too late. The Demon King's feet turned cold. The Demon King's arms were like tough vines and hugged onto Lin Muyu's legs. It opened its bloody mouth and bit towards Lin Muyu's legs.
"Courting death!"
Without saying a word, Lin Muyu's fist descended from the sky and blasted straight onto the Demon King's head — — Five Elements Eight Wastelands Annihilation!
"Bang!"
The heavy blow directly caused the Demon King's head to sink into the broken rocks. However, its arms were still hugging onto Lin Muyu's legs. Moreover, thin poisonous thorns grew out and pierced into Lin Muyu's calf. The numbing feeling made people feel very uncomfortable.
"Go to hell!"
Lin Muyu was extremely angry. He didn't care about the demon spirit stone anymore. He raised his right fist and with the power of the Six Elements Calamity, he once again punched the back of the Demon King's head! "Bang!" The back of the Demon King's head was completely blasted open and turned into mush. At the same time, the clamp on Lin Muyu's legs was released. He only felt a numbing feeling in his legs. He hurriedly circulated his supreme divine force to disperse the cold poison. Then, he opened his palm and sucked out the demon spirit stone from the brain. He burned it with fire and baptized it with wind blades. After cleaning it clean, he placed it into his Cosmos Sack.
"Linyi, you can come out now. It's fine now."
Lin Muyu slowly sat back down beside the bonfire. Killing this Demon King had consumed at least 70% of his divine force. He needed to recover quickly in case he encountered another strong opponent. If he was killed because of exhaustion, it would be too unjust.
Liu Buyi carefully walked out and picked up a branch to poke the Demon King's corpse and said, "Is it really dead?"
"Yes, of course it's fake."
"You actually single-handedly killed a Daemon King …" Liu Buyi frowned and muttered to himself in a low voice, "What a freak. Even a Dragon Rider might not necessarily be able to single-handedly kill a Daemon King. This kid … is really not simple …"
As he spoke, Liu Buyi began to drag the Demon King's corpse.
"What are you doing?" Lin Muyu was a little surprised and asked, "The Demon King's corpse is so disgusting. Moreover, the Yin energy is too strong. It can't be roasted and eaten at all. What do you want the corpse for?"
"You don't understand."
Liu Buyi grinned and said, "The Tianji Empire has a rule. Anyone who kills a demon spirit of the sixth rank or above can bring the corpse to various provinces and cities to receive a reward. This is the corpse of a Demon King. It's worth at least ten thousand gold coins. In addition, there will also be a demon spirit stone from the Demon Venerable as a reward."
"The demon spirit stone from the Demon Venerable?" Lin Muyu was stunned. He didn't care about ten thousand gold coins, but he couldn't help but be tempted by the demon spirit stone from the Demon Venerable. After all, the demon spirit stone was equivalent to a treasure that could increase one's cultivation. It was a good thing no matter where it was. Although he didn't want to cause trouble, he didn't want to let go of a good opportunity to get the demon spirit stone from the Demon Venerable.
"Is there … any city nearby where I can get it?" Lin Muyu asked.
"Let me think."
Liu Buyi pondered for a while and pointed to the east. He said, "Over the Wormwood Mountain, about a hundred miles to the east is the central city of Xishan Province — Xiping City. Xiping City is known as one of the four famous cities of the Tianji Empire. It's on par with Tianji City, Dongning City, and Huoyuan City. It's very rich. Probably only a famous city like Xiping City will have ready-made demon spirit stones from the treasury."
"If we … go to get the reward, will we be targeted?"
"Young hero, if you're worried about this … why don't I go to get the reward alone, and you follow me secretly? When we get out of the city, we'll split the money. What do you think?" Liu Buyi's eyes were already filled with the luster of the gold coins.
"No." Lin Muyu waved his hand and said, "If it's really a reward, I'll give you ten thousand gold coins. I'll take the demon spirit stone from the Demon Venerable."
"Oh?"
Liu Buyi was stunned. He said, "But, although the demon spirit stone is a good thing, the demon spirit stone of the Demon Venerable, Demon King, and Demon Emperor is actually not very expensive. Why do you value it so much?"
"Ah, the price is not high? Why … "Lin Muyu was confused.
Liu Buyi immediately smiled. "Although refining the demon spirit stone can absorb the spiritual energy in the spirit stone and turn it into one's own, the spiritual energy in the demon spirit stone of the Demon Venerable, Demon King, and Demon Emperor is too strong. After refining it, all the spiritual energy will leak out. It's already not bad for an ordinary cultivator to absorb one or two percent of the spiritual energy. I heard that even a Sacred Martial God can't completely refine and absorb the power of the demon spirit stone of the Demon Venerable in one go. Therefore, the price of the demon spirit stone of the Demon Venerable is actually not much different from that of the fifth and sixth grade. Most of them are only for the collection of the aristocrats."
"I see."
Lin Muyu had some doubts in her heart. Not long ago, she refined the demon spirit stone of the fifth grade, but after she completely absorbed the spiritual energy in the demon spirit stone, her qi sea was only filled by one third. However, according to what Liu Buyi said, even the top Sacred Martial God couldn't completely absorb the demon spirit stone of the Demon Venerable. From this, it could be seen that the degree of integration was not as good as hers. Why was this so?
She was confused and couldn't figure it out.
However, he didn't know that the Supreme Godhead was a gift from the heavens. Naturally, the amount and speed of the integration of spiritual energy was much higher than that of the other fourth-grade godheads. Lin Muyu didn't know the magical effects of the Supreme Godhead, but she was also growing rapidly under the blessing of the Supreme Godhead.
The two of them quickly decided to leave the Ai cao mountain at daybreak and head for Xiping City!
At the same time, Lin Muyu also wanted to see how prosperous this legendary city, one of the four famous cities of the Tianji Empire, was. Know thyself and know thy enemy, and you will never be defeated!
…
At daybreak, it started to rain. As a result, Liu Buyi was completely drenched. However, Lin Muyu was different. With the protection of her divine power, the rainwater separated itself when it was five centimeters away from her body. She carried the Demon King's corpse in one hand and climbed over the mountain in a much easier manner than Liu Buyi.
After walking for an entire day and night, they finally arrived at Xiping City early the next morning.
After resting for a bit at an inn outside the city, they hired a carriage in the afternoon and loaded the Demon King's corpse. Liu Buyi drove the carriage into the city, while Lin Muyu maintained her original knight-errant attire and followed closely behind. This Demon King was hunted by her with great difficulty, so she had to keep a close eye on the rewards.
From a distance, the outer city walls of Xiping City were at least thirty meters tall. They were extremely majestic, and the bricks were all made of pure white marble. One could imagine how sturdy it was. Lin Muyu raised her head and looked at the walls. She could clearly see that there was a guard every five meters on the city walls. The guards were equipped with longswords and bows. In addition, there was a crossbow carriage every ten meters. Each crossbow carriage could load ten thick steel arrows at once, so its shooting power was definitely very powerful. What made Lin Muyu even more surprised was that there were also some lassos on the city walls. They were probably used to hunt targets in the air, right?
That was the only way to think about it.
