Chapter 92: The Battle of the Demon Core
After dealing with Li Yun and Meng Ran, Xiao Tianchen and the others also quickly evacuated this place, after all, their battle also caused a lot of fluctuations, this is already the inner perimeter of the demon domain in the east, in case there are high-level demon beasts at this time, then they will have to go around without food.
Until now, Xue Jie was still a little incredulous that Xiao Tianchen could solve Meng Ran so quickly, although they were just the fourth level of the ordinary Digang Realm, and they were not like Shen Ming and they had the ability to challenge beyond the level, but they were not the second level of the ordinary Digang Realm that could be easily defeated.
"Grandpa is right...... This guy is indeed a monster......" Xue Jie muttered in a low voice and hurriedly followed.
As for Li Yun and Meng Ran, they are not worried, according to Xue Jie, since the beginning of this demon core competition, there will be some old men with strong cultivation who will secretly protect them, and those who can go this far will undoubtedly be able to become a force in the eastern imperial capital, and they don't want this force to be lost here.
However, judging from Li Yun's robbery of Xiao Tianchen, even if they were fighting for the demon core between each other, it seemed that they were acquiesced by the superiors, so it seems that this so-called demon core competition will indeed not be as easy as it seems on the surface, and there will even be other more powerful martial artists who take a fancy to them and rob them.
Although Xiao Tianchen's realm is not high, only the second level of the Digang Realm, but Xue Jie's strength is the fourth level of the Digang Realm, and the range of demon cores hunted is above the second level of the Digang Realm, which can still attract the covetousness of many martial artists on the strong list, in addition to the strong list, there are also many martial artists who have also been promoted to the second level of the Digang Realm, and only a small part of them are still at the first level of the Digang Realm.
At the moment, it seems that the top ten may fight on their own, and from the eleventh place on the strong list, they will shift their targets to some martial artists who honestly hunt demon cores.
"It seems that this demon core war will not be so peaceful. Xiao Tianchen said with a somewhat solemn expression, and with one foot split the branch, the whole body immediately leaned forward, and continued to move in the direction of the inner perimeter, all the movements were really like flowing water in one go, which made Xue Jie look a little sideways, this guy's speed was even faster than in the morning.
"It seems that this is indeed the case, but judging from the temperament of the group of guys on the strong list, it is estimated that they will point the finger at the newcomers, and when the time comes, they will be able to exclude all the newcomers, although the selection of the Ten Dynasties Martial Arts is indeed open, but it is not fair, in their eyes, the so-called fairness will only appear if they are really strong. Xue Jie sighed helplessly, and it could be seen from the expression on his face that he was also quite tired of this differential treatment.
"Is it really sad that even the weak have to be pitied by the strong to get it?" Xiao Tianchen's eyes gradually reflected a little solemn look, this kind ......of experience he knew best, in the past few years in Donglin County, why wasn't he like this?
Seeing Xiao Tianchen's solemn demeanor, Xue Jie didn't dare to say anything, although he was also born in the imperial capital of Donglin, but ask yourself if he is not as arrogant and domineering as some martial artists on the strong list, so that he always seems a little out of place with the martial artists on the strong list, and those who don't know still think that he is a martial artist from some small cities.
Hiss!
Suddenly, a green branch suddenly flashed out from the big tree beside Xiao Tianchen, swept directly across the sky at an extremely fast speed, and immediately turned its head, causing a burst of crisp and loud sounds, like an iron whip, slashing towards Xiao Tianchen fiercely.
Looking at the approaching green snake tail, Xiao Tianchen's eyes suddenly flashed with a trace of cold light, and the gilded halberd on his right hand immediately flourished with golden light, and just as the green snake tail was about to arrive, it swept out like a streamer, and the sharp edge was cut off together with the entire big tree in an instant, but Xiao Tianchen's eyes never looked at the attacking demon beast.
With the passing of the edge, the green snake tail that was thrown in the air also froze, and then in Xue Jie's shocked gaze, it suddenly burst open, and the bright red blood gushed out like a fountain, directly dyeing the surrounding trees a blood-red.
The big tree that was cut off at the waist also fell with a bang, behind the tree, a slender figure gradually fell weakly, and when I looked closely, I found that it was a demon beast of the double level of the Digang Realm, and there was no luster in my eyes, and above the broken wound, I could faintly see a thin red long line spreading, directly reaching the seven inches of the demon beast.
Xiao Tianchen picked it up with a halberd, and a demon core the size of a baby's fist immediately bounced up and landed firmly in his hand.
From beginning to end, he had never even seen this demon snake, such a clean and neat method couldn't help but make Xue Jie swallow a mouthful of saliva, and he could kill a demon beast that was the second heaviest in the Digang Realm with a single move, I am afraid that Xiao Tianchen's strength has surpassed him, and even infinitely close to the top ten martial artists on the strong list.
And after receiving the demon core, Xiao Tianchen's figure also suddenly stopped, suppressing his own fluctuations to the lowest level, and his figure jumped from the tree in a flash, his whole body was buried in the grass, and there was a slight unnaturalness in his deep eyes.
Seeing Xiao Tianchen like this, Xue Jie also learned his way to hide himself in the jungle, raised his head slightly, and looked towards Xiao Tianchen's line of sight, and immediately, the burly body was also completely shocked by the scene in front of him.
On the ground not far in front of them, there were several seriously injured young men lying on them, the white robes on their bodies had already been reddened by the bloodstains, and their purple faces were full of unwillingness.
"Aren't you going to hand over the demon core yet? ”
Following the source of the voice, Xue Jie shifted his gaze to another direction, and could see that not far away, there were three young men who were also wearing the same robe walking towards them, and he could recognize at a glance that it was one of the martial artists on the strong list, although the ranking was not high, but it was more than enough to deal with these newcomers.
"If we kill us, we won't hand it over, and if we hand over the demon core, it will mean elimination!" a childish young man said angrily, his fingers clutched the space ring in his hand, and his eyes looked at the approaching figures with sad eyes, even they never thought that the so-called demon core competition would be like this.
When they met them, they also warmly welcomed themselves to join the team of hunting demon cores, but before they could take a few steps, these guys actually reversed themselves, and in the blink of an eye, they were seriously injured one by one, even if they were strong, they didn't have the ability to compete with the warriors on the strong list.
"Then it can't be helped. The young man chuckled, and then an incomparably cold light flashed from the depths of his eyes, and the long sword in his hand immediately burst out like lightning, and the sharp sword light slashed directly towards the warrior's arm, without considering whether he would take his life because of this.
Seeing that the sword qi in front of him continued to expand, the person's eyes finally showed a look of despair, and for a while, the entire idea of the selection battle seemed to be cut off when the sword qi fell, even they never thought that a selection battle would be so cruel......
Finally, he closed his eyes in despair, and his hands fiercely clutched the spatial ring that was still on his finger, even if it was dead...... I don't want to give this thing to these guys, although that sword qi is not enough to kill him, but he is a seriously injured body, I'm afraid that after being pierced by this sword qi, it is impossible to have the ability to continue.
Clang!
With a crisp sound, the young man's heart seemed to have sunk to the bottom in an instant, but ...... Why is there no such ...... of death? Feel?
Time passed bit by bit, why hadn't the expected sword qi come yet?
The young man's eyes were half-open, with a little hope, but he saw that at some point, a thin figure appeared in front of his eyes, and the war halberd shining with golden light was constantly turbulent under the impact of the sword qi, but the face of the person holding the war halberd did not change in the slightest.
"This is the so-called Demon Core Competition? ”
Through the dense cracks of the leaves, a faint ray of sunlight reflected in, and a chilling light could be seen in the cold eyes under the dark hair.
