Chapter 143: The Battle Ends.
However, as soon as the two sides clashed, Xia Yuhui's expression changed drastically, because when his spiritual weapon struck the beast's scales, it had no effect whatsoever, and couldn't even cut through the scales.
Furthermore, this monster appeared to be handling Xia Yuhui with ease, indicating that its injuries were not as severe as they appeared.
"Human boy, you have a fine physique. I wonder how many years of demonic power I would gain if I swallowed you." Midway through the battle, this demonic beast actually spoke in human language in front of Xia Yuhui.
When fighting Xia Yuhui, this demonic beast noticed that Heiyun Daoist hadn't caught up, which made it extremely arrogant.
Xia Yuhui sneered. He admitted that the monster was very powerful before it was injured, and could even be defeated in a few moves, but now...
Desperate!
"Boom!"
A massive bolt of lightning fell from the sky and struck the monster's head directly.
After casting this spell, Xia Yuhui did not stop. He immediately leaped into the air and cast another lightning spell, striking the demonic python lying on the ground.
The python was instantly electrocuted and let out several painful cries. However, Xia Yuhui did not stop. His whole body surged with crimson lightning, and he rushed forward.
However, this monster was more resilient than Xia Yuhui had imagined. Despite Xia Yuhui's fierce attack, it still stood stubbornly, opened its blood-red maw, and bit at Xia Yuhui.
This monstrous python was enormous; if it opened its mouth wide enough, it could swallow Xia Yuhui whole. However, it had already been paralyzed by Xia Yuhui's electric shock, so its speed had slowed down, and it posed no danger to Xia Yuhui.
"red!"
A large ball of crimson lightning struck directly at the monstrous python.
However, this monster was not just good at defense; with a shudder, its size immediately shrank.
For some reason, after shrinking, the speed of this monster also became astonishing, and it easily dodged Xia Yuhui's lightning.
If it grows to over 20 zhang tall, it will sweep its tail directly at Xia Yuhui.
Xia Yuhui was startled, but his movements did not slow down at all. In an instant, he released a tortoise shell shield that began to spin rapidly.
"boom!"
Xia Yuhui, along with the tortoise shell, was sent flying, eventually crashing into and killing two unfortunate cultivators before finally coming to a stop.
After getting up, Xia Yuhui immediately spat out a mouthful of blood. The power of that attack was far beyond his expectations. He never imagined that this severely injured python could still unleash such a powerful move.
However, Xia Yuhui was not intimidated this time; instead, he revealed a cold smile.
Looking around, the serpent had returned to its previous size and was spewing out black winds mixed with blood.
Xia Yuhui knew that these black winds must be the work of the Black Cloud Taoist.
The demonic python was staring coldly at Xia Yuhui. At this moment, it hated this person to the bone, even more than it hated the Black Cloud Taoist who had injured it. Originally, it could have easily escaped, but now, escape was impossible.
Therefore, it has no choice but to fight this foolish human to the death. However, this is also good. The young human cultivator in front of it is already so powerful. If left to develop, he will surely become the second Black Cloud Daoist in the future.
Xia Yuhui looked at the monstrous python, which was still so arrogant, and laughed in anger. Did it really think it was easy to bully?
Without the slightest hesitation, Xia Yuhui rushed forward.
Seeing Xia Yuhui charge forward again without hesitation, the python dared not delay for a moment. Its body slowly grew larger, clearly intending to disregard its injuries and continue using the same move.
However, before it could unleash its attack, a sharp pain suddenly shot through its soul, followed by what seemed like something exploding in its mind, causing its face to contort in agony.
The intense pain was so intense that it didn't even realize Xia Yuhui had arrived beside it.
Xia Yuhui raised his sword and thrust it straight into the mouth of the demonic python, the longsword piercing deep into its jaws.
However, the beast did not move at all, because it was in unbearable pain deep in its soul. Compared to this, this minor injury was nothing.
After delivering that final stab, Xia Yuhui unleashed the Soul Devouring Technique on the demonic beast with all his might.
The python's pupils contracted sharply, and it collapsed to the ground in an instant, relieved.
After the battle, Xia Yuhui immediately disposed of the demonic python's body and stored it in his storage bag.
At this moment, he also felt quite unwell. In a short while, most of his consciousness disappeared, and his spirit immediately began to wane.
After quickly collecting some of the souls on the battlefield into the Azure Soul Lamp, Xia Yuhui's consciousness slowly recovered.
For ordinary people, the only way to restore their consciousness is through long-term rest and meditation, but Xia Yuhui does not need to do so. As long as the Azure Soul Lamp is present, he does not need to worry about the depletion of his consciousness.
However, he also needs to proceed step by step, and after receiving a large number of souls at once, he still needs to take some time to solidify his divine consciousness.
When he used his divine sense again to scan the battlefield, he saw that the Black Cloud Taoist had disappeared without a trace, and the prey that the Black Cloud Taoist had been chasing was also nowhere to be found.
Xia Yuhui ignored it. He was seriously injured and could barely take care of himself. As for the two immortal divine lightning bolts, what use were they without a life?
After defeating the monster, Xia Yuhui did not engage with the surrounding monsters again, but instead fought and retreated, quickly heading towards the center of the battlefield.
Upon reaching the center of the battlefield, Xia Yuhui quickly swallowed two pills to restore his mana before seeking out a mid-stage second-tier demonic beast to fight again.
Time flies on the battlefield.
As Xia Yuhui's magical power gradually depleted, the battles around him became increasingly fierce, and a large group of demonic beasts even appeared deep in the northern border region.
However, Xia Yuhui was not too worried. The battle situation was already settled, and even if a small number of monsters attacked from the northern border, it would be too late to turn the tide.
Of course, Xia Yuhui was not careless. After several battles, he only had more than 30% of his magic power left. Therefore, when fighting against the monsters, he did not use his magic power anymore, but only used the crimson lightning in his body and his strong physique to resist the monsters.
After a fierce battle, Daoist Heiyun returned to the battlefield with several high-level combatants, and the situation instantly reversed. The demonic beasts were defeated and fled, while the human cultivators pursued them in victory.
Xia Yuhui immediately sensed that the time was ripe, so he leaped into the sky and then used the Thunder and Rain Technique. After exhausting all his magical power, Xia Yuhui killed more than four thousand demonic beasts on his own.
Of course, he also collected these souls into the Azure Soul Lamp. After everyone began to clean up the battlefield, Xia Yuhui suddenly started running around the battlefield, sometimes stopping to look around, sometimes moving forward quickly.
After absorbing all the remaining souls on the battlefield, Xia Yuhui finally stopped. At this point, his expression was in stark contrast to that of the people around him.
Xia Yuhui was extremely excited, while the others felt relieved and reborn.
His excitement was not without reason. Although he was on the battlefield and could not move freely to absorb souls, causing many souls to be lost, he still managed to collect nearly one-tenth of the souls.
Once he exhausts these souls, his divine sense will likely surpass the late Foundation Establishment stage immediately, at which point he will be able to truly kill late Foundation Establishment cultivators.
It should be noted that there is a world of difference between having the strength of the late Foundation Establishment stage and being able to kill a late Foundation Establishment stage cultivator. If he possesses such strength, then the Xia family can directly dominate Jinling County.
At that time, he only needs to stabilize the situation and gradually expand his influence to the surrounding counties, then the Xia family will have a continuous stream of resources, and he will no longer lack cultivation resources.
