Chapter 138: Chapter 138: Moving Money
A good, satisfying fight!
Zhu Ge loved the feeling of battle!
Of course, he loved beating up Demon Beasts, not getting beaten up by them.
Fortunately, he had achieved minor success in Wind Refining and had also consumed some Spirit Level medicinal soups in Jianshui City. As a result, his body was now incredibly tough.
Forget a Second Realm Transformed Demon Beast; even an ordinary Third Realm Demon Beast would likely have trouble seriously injuring him.
"Thirty-Six Paths of the Giant Pendulum!"
"Vajra Palm!"
"Great Python Constriction!"
"Incense Ignition!"
"Water Buffalo Raises its Head!"
One after another, Zhu Ge unleashed these techniques.
He wasn’t even using his Blood Qi, relying solely on his physical strength to execute them!
The most numerous foes around him were Spirit Realm Demon Beasts. They charged at him one after another, only to be bludgeoned to death with a single swing of his staff.
He either smashed their skulls, broke their spines, or pierced them through the backside...
Through it all, the silver staff remained pristine, not a single stain marring its surface.
BANG!!!
Zhu Ge’s body was sent flying by the whip-like tail of a massive, emerald-green snake.
"I’ve had my eye on you for a while," the great snake hissed, flicking its tongue with a smug expression. "No matter how tough your skin is, your internal organs are still weak. That blow didn’t feel too good, did it? Haha, haha, hahahaha!"
"A Second Realm Bamboo Leaf Green?" Zhu Ge crashed through a tree, then immediately performed a kip-up, kicking away a Mouse Demon in the process. He wore a disdainful look on his face.
"As a Bamboo Leaf Green, you chose to enhance the power of your tail instead of your venom? You’ve really missed the point!"
"I am a unique species by birth, one with limitless strength..." the Bamboo Leaf Green snorted coldly, about to continue.
But Zhu Ge had already dashed in front of it, grinning. "A unique ancient species? Excellent!"
BOOM!!
Zhu Ge brought his staff down, using the method of a Fierce Tiger Descending the Mountain.
The Bamboo Leaf Green’s body was smashed directly into the ground.
At the same time, seven or eight attacks slammed into Zhu Ge’s throat, groin, eyes, and other weak points.
Yet, none of these spots showed any vulnerability.
The terrifying power of the Great Sun Glaze Body’s full-body Wind Refining was slowly revealing itself as Zhu Ge’s Cultivation grew.
SWISH—
Zhu Ge picked up the Bamboo Leaf Green from the ground and tossed it into the valley.
"Sisi, keep an eye on this snake!"
"Okay!" Zhu Sisi immediately responded.
Although Zhu Sisi was only a Spirit Realm Demon Beast, its Cultivation Technique was special, so it had no fear of a Transformed Demon Beast that had been knocked unconscious by Zhu Ge.
If it showed any signs of stirring, Zhu Sisi would simply notify Hua Liusha.
As for why he kept the Bamboo Leaf Green alive?
It was a unique ancient species!
In Zhu Ge’s understanding, these were species that had undergone some sort of genetic mutation back in the Ancient Era, giving them abilities different from others of their kind.
Just like the Sword Hero from before, which could absorb metal to strengthen itself.
After this crisis was over, he could check if this unique species was useful. If not, he’d kill it. If it was, he’d have Liu Jianjian subdue it.
"If you’re a unique ancient species, speak up! I’ll consider sparing your life!"
Zhu Ge shouted as he fought.
The surrounding Demon Race completely swarmed him, but Zhu Ge’s staff moved like a blur, keeping him invincible within a two-meter radius.
"Such an arrogant member of the Human Race!"
"Kill! Kill! Kill!! I want to eat his kidneys!"
"I want to eat his brains!"
"The brains belong to the great Sword and Axe Mantis king!"
The horde of demons was furious.
’How audacious!’
’How conceited!’
He was surrounded by dozens of Second Realm and thousands of First Realm beasts, yet he still dared to talk about sparing a unique ancient species?
Faced with such a villain, a single thought arose in the heart of every Demon Beast: ’He must be eliminated!’
Of course, the most crucial part was that they couldn’t see the Sword and Axe Mantis in the valley, so they didn’t know the actual situation.
Since the Third Realm Sword and Axe Mantis had already said it was coming to support them, how could the Demon Race dare not charge forward?
They had already failed in the battle for Jianshui City; they couldn’t afford to fail again.
Besides, their opponent was just a single Second Realm human.
"Wait!"
Suddenly, a demon beast that looked like a yellow ox stopped its attack.
"This human... why does he look so much like that martial arts maniac my cousin, Black-Horned Bull, was talking about?" The yellow ox stood its ground, its massive four-to-five-meter body immediately blocking the surrounding Demon Beasts.
Some of the other Demon Beasts heard the yellow ox’s words but didn’t understand what it was talking about.
"Didn’t your cousin, Black-Horned Bull, go hide in some mountain village to plow fields?" a monkey sneered. "Besides, your cousin is a pervert!"
"Alright, stop talking and attack together!" A Second Realm wild wolf next to them was kicked back by Zhu Ge, and it coughed up blood as it spoke.
"I’m about to be beaten to death, and you’re all just standing here chatting? When the great Sword and Axe Mantis king gets out..."
Before it could finish, two panicked, large birds flew out from above the valley. The eagle among them shouted:
"This is bad! This is bad! The great Sword and Axe Mantis king has been refined by a Second Realm hedgehog demon!"
The great Sword and Axe Mantis king was refined by a Transformed hedgehog demon?!
As soon as these words were spoken, the demons were all stunned, and their assault on Zhu Ge slowed.
Seeing this, Zhu Ge let out a cold laugh. "None of you are getting away!"
’Are you kidding me!’
’How many Demon Beasts are here?’
’If I kill all these Demon Beasts and sell them, I could get ten thousand pounds of meat alone!’
Especially these wild oxen, deer, and boars—all of them fat and sturdy. And after transforming at the Second Realm, their bodies became even more massive.
’I’ll kill them all, then take the fresh meat to Tongfu Restaurant to sell!’
’Sell it, use the money to buy Spirit Elixirs and Medicines, and get stronger.’
’Then once I’m stronger, I’ll go kill more Demon Beasts...’
’This is awesome!’
"Liusha! Activate the Array! Don’t let them escape!"
Zhu Ge roared.
Hua Liusha’s mind was linked with Zhu Ge’s, and in an instant, she activated the Fungus God Destruction Array.
"Oh no! Flee!"
The large yellow ox recalled what its cousin, Black-Horned Bull, had said and immediately shouted, "My cousin, Black-Horned Bull, told me there was a prodigy of the Human Race, a true martial arts maniac! He must have been talking about this person right here!"
The large yellow ox’s voice was immense, instantly echoing across the entire battlefield.
And so, the horde of demons scattered and fled.
"Run! Run! I knew something was wrong!"
"Last time he toyed with us for an hour, and now he’s even... huh, wait a minute, last time he was only at the First Realm!"
"He’s too terrifying! Run!"
The Demon Beasts were already a disorderly mob. Hearing that even the Sword and Axe Mantis had been refined, while Zhu Ge stood before them, not even flushed or out of breath, was the last straw.
It was enough to scare a demon to death!
"Don’t even think about running!"
Zhu Ge’s eyes widened.
’These are all moving piles of money right in front of me!’
The next moment, Zhu Ge’s Martial Arts Heart began to beat—rapidly and powerfully.
THUMP!
THUMP!
THUMP!
Zhu Ge wasn’t using its full power, only unleashing twenty to thirty percent of its strength.
But when the horde of demons heard this heartbeat, they were scared out of their wits.
"A heartbeat like thunder... How is his demon heart so strong?!"
"Demon heart, my ass! What the hell does that thing have to do with a demon heart? That’s a human heart!"
"Such a terrifying human heart! Heavens!"
"Run!"
The Demon Beasts fled even faster.
BOOM!!! Zhu Ge grew anxious. Pushing off with his legs, he charged through the horde of demons with his long staff, leaving a trail of severed limbs in his wake.
It was like a Third Realm wild boar running at full speed through a sheep pen, sending flesh and blood flying everywhere.
WHOOSH!!!
Suddenly, countless strands of mycelium shot out from high in the sky.
"Don’t run! You’re all my husband’s property!"
Hua Liusha’s voice was not soft, echoing for miles around.
