Chapter 56 Now it's my turn to seize the opportunity!
Go! We have to leave immediately!
Third-tier demonic beasts are equivalent to Core Formation cultivators in the human race. Moreover, the higher the level of most demonic beasts, the larger their size and the more destructive power they possess. Once they go berserk, the entire Cangji Island may be destroyed by them!
To third-tier demonic beasts, human cultivators with spiritual energy are no different from ants; no matter how many there are, they are not enough to be crushed with a single stomp.
"Could it be a guardian spirit beast left behind by some powerful figure?"
Thinking of this, Chen Ye prepared to use his movement technique to leave the place.
As for any fortuitous encounters or insect-controlling techniques, are they more important than one's own life?
But just as Chen Ye turned around, he heard the rogue cultivator speaking intermittently again.
"There are...there are eggs of third-tier demonic beasts inside!"
What?!
Chen Ye paused, then turned around abruptly to stare at the stuttering cultivator.
A third-tier monster's egg? Can you please stop taking such long breaths when you talk?!
Chen Ye was speechless. No wonder Qiao Guanjiang disliked this person so much. Who wouldn't be annoyed by this way of speaking?
"Fellow Daoist, could... could you let me go?"
The stuttering cultivator looked helpless. He didn't want to speak like that, but he was born this way, a congenital deficiency, and there was nothing he could do about it.
"I'll send you away right now."
Chen Ye nodded expressionlessly, then flicked out a Spirit Annihilation Finger.
puff!
The stuttering cultivator's head exploded as if struck by a sledgehammer, and the headless corpse swayed before collapsing limply to the ground.
The path of spiritual practice is long and arduous, and the worst thing you can do is waste time!
Chen Ye picked up the man's storage bag with an indifferent expression and walked to the entrance of the underground cave.
As a family that tames beasts, the Bai family must have known about the existence of monster eggs on this island long ago through some kind of inherited secret technique. Unfortunately, they miscalculated and attracted Qiao Guanjiang and others.
But no matter what, a third-tier demon beast egg is an opportunity that ordinary cultivators can only dream of!
If it can be carefully cared for and grows up, wouldn't it be like having a demonic pet with strength comparable to a human Core Formation expert?!
A glint of greed flashed in Chen Ye's eyes. No one could resist such an opportunity, and he was no exception.
Now that the Bai family and Qiao Guanjiang's group of rogue cultivators have already fought in the underground cave, it's time for him to seize the opportunity!
Chen Ye strode into the cave, holding the Crimson Feather Sword, while simultaneously activating the Illusionary Mist Technique to keep it ready to be activated at any time.
After the opening was enlarged, it looked like a huge and deep eye, unfathomable. As one went deeper, more and more traces of the battle between cultivators appeared on both sides of the rock wall.
Chen Ye continued walking along these traces, and after turning a corner, he saw a slightly larger cave filled with a thick aura of blood. Demonic beasts, rogue cultivators, and the mutilated corpses of Bai family members were scattered everywhere.
It looks like this is where the two forces clashed, and both sides suffered heavy casualties!
"Hmm? Kid, didn't you say you were afraid of claustrophobic environments and couldn't come down?"
A middle-aged rogue cultivator who was searching for loot on the corpses immediately showed a hint of wariness when he saw Chen Ye appear.
He had six or seven storage bags hanging from his waist, which were obviously left by Qiao Guanjiang to clean up the battlefield.
"I was bored up there, so I came to see if you'd found any opportunities."
Seeing this, Chen Ye chuckled and strode towards the middle-aged rogue cultivator.
"What stroke of luck?!"
The middle-aged rogue cultivator's expression changed. Seeing Chen Ye constantly approaching him, he quickly took two steps back, summoned a magic sword, and shouted sharply.
"Kid, I advise you to go back home obediently, otherwise if our Boss Qiao finds out..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Ye instantly unleashed a Spirit Annihilation Finger, a sharp aura flashing as it precisely struck the sword-wielding arm of the rogue cultivator.
boom!
"ah!!"
The middle-aged rogue cultivator let out a shrill scream as his entire arm was blown into pieces, and half of his body was shrouded in a bloody mist!
However, the man reacted quickly. He endured the excruciating pain and swiftly pulled out a spirit shield talisman from his waist with his other hand, crushing it in the process.
hum~
A layer of spiritual energy shield enveloped his entire body. Without thinking, the middle-aged rogue cultivator turned and ran. But before he could take two steps, another beam of energy pierced through the air and arrived.
"Whoosh~"
The seemingly unbreakable spiritual energy shield disintegrated the moment it came into contact with the aura, and the Spirit Annihilation Finger, undiminished in power, pierced straight through the man's thigh.
"Bang!"
The middle-aged male cultivator's arm and thigh were both blown apart, and he collapsed helplessly into a pool of blood.
"How is that possible..."
The middle-aged male cultivator stared at Chen Ye in shock. He couldn't understand how Chen Ye's spells could be so powerful when they were both at the sixth level of the Spirit Gathering stage. Even a spiritual energy shield couldn't withstand a single blow!
Little did they know that as early as when he was at the fifth level of the Spirit Gathering stage, Chen Ye was able to pierce through the defenses of a cultivator who was one level higher than him with three Spirit Annihilation Finger strikes.
Now that Chen Ye has broken through to the sixth level of the Spirit Gathering Realm, his spiritual power is even more refined, and his Spirit Annihilation Finger has also been upgraded to a minor completion state. It is not an exaggeration to say that he can break through a low-level talisman like a spiritual power shield with a single finger.
"Tell me, where is the monster egg?"
Chen Ye, too lazy to waste words, stepped on the severed limb and demanded an explanation in a low voice.
"Old Master Qiao will avenge me!" The middle-aged rogue cultivator said through gritted teeth, his face contorted in pain.
"Still want to be a tough guy?"
Chen Ye raised an eyebrow, drew his Crimson Feather Sword, and lightly slashed at Chen Ye's other leg.
yah~
The sharp sword energy easily severed the man's thigh, and then burned the wound intensely, like a branding iron.
"Ah~~ I said, it's in the cave on the left, less than two hundred feet in."
The middle-aged rogue cultivator convulsed in pain, and his earlier bravado vanished in an instant.
"How do I know if you're telling the truth?" Chen Ye sneered, and swung his sword again, severing the man's only remaining arm at the shoulder.
"I...I really didn't lie to you...it's inside."
The middle-aged male cultivator had lost too much blood and no longer had the strength to scream; all he wanted now was to die as soon as possible.
"You're smart to know what's good for you."
Chen Ye nodded, ended the man's suffering with a single sword strike, picked up the storage bag from his body, and quickly headed towards the cave on the left.
After walking about a hundred paces, Chen Ye stopped in his tracks and saw a huge monster corpse lying in front of him.
This is a water-avoiding rhinoceros, a late-stage first-tier demonic beast, equivalent to a human cultivator at the ninth level of the Spirit Gathering stage.
But he's dead now. His abdomen has been blasted open with a huge, bloody hole the size of a washbasin. His internal organs and the area around the wound are charred, as if he were instantly killed by some powerful magic.
"This is... a thunderstorm talisman?"
Sensing the faint aura emanating from the monster's corpse, Chen Ye frowned.
I never expected that Qiao Guanjiang would possess such a powerful talisman!
but……
Chen Ye touched his storage bag, which also contained four Thunderstorm Talismans!
At this moment, Chen Ye's expression suddenly changed, as if he had sensed something. He quickly flashed and hid behind the huge corpse of the demon beast.
Almost as soon as Chen Ye had concealed himself, he saw two rogue cultivators walking over from the other side of the cave, one after the other.
