Chapter 207: There’s a Gap Between Grandmasters, Working With Demonic Fox (1)
Seeing Huo Tianyu die, Su Mu’s heart was finally at ease.
The moment he saw him, Su Mu knew that without his interference, this person would definitely be able to escape.
After all, Huo Tianyu became the commander-in-chief of the Demon Suppression Division more than ten years later. He had great power.
If he died today, how could there be a future?
But since Su Mu was here, he wouldn’t allow him to escape!
After Huo Tianyu escaped, he would definitely attract the experts of Da Qian.
In this way, Su Mu would not have the chance to subdue Hanba and the Nine-tailed Fox.
This future commander-in-chief of the Demon Suppression Bureau must die here today!
..
After Huo Tianyu’s death, another seven or eight Demon Slayers took advantage of the time when the Nine-Tailed Fox was being held back by the Seal of Suppression to escape through the gap torn by the silver flying needles.
Then, as soon as they escaped, they saw thousands of demons occupying the entire Gobi Desert. There were demons everywhere!
The Ox Devil in the lead was even more terrifying. It could break the sky with a single strike!
The surging demonic aura was like a tidal wave as it came crashing down on them.
“What happened? Why were there so many demons outside?”
This scene made the Demon Slayers who had managed to escape feel extremely desperate.
Su Mu didn’t hold back, controlling Devilox to charge in their direction.
“Boom!”
The huge force shook and instantly traversed several miles, tearing these Demon Slayers into pieces!
Flesh and blood splattered like fireworks.
With just one move, Su Mu had killed all the Monster Slayers who had luckily escaped.
At this point, Huo Tianyu and his men were all dead. No one would know about the situation here for a short period of time.
..
Among the seven or eight Demon Slayers, one was an early-stage Zongshi realm martial artist, and the rest were all in the Connate realm.
As for this Ox Demon, it was the most terrifying demon Su Mu had encountered in the Ryukyu Kingdom. It was already at the late Zongshi realm.
Under the enhancement of Su Mu’s Ghost King power, his strength had increased by several times.
Even if he was compared to a half-step Martial God like the Dog God, the difference was not big!
In this way, he was naturally not something that ordinary grandmasters could compare to. He could easily kill them in one move from a distance of several miles!
Although their realms were the same, there was a huge difference between grandmasters!
The first thing a martial artist needed to do was to train his body.
There were a total of five steps to body refinement, namely skin refinement, muscle refinement, bone refinement, organ refinement, and blood refinement.
The world generally divided these five steps into first-class, second-class, and third-class.
Once his body refinement was completed and his blood Qi was filled, he could attempt to cultivate Stellar Energy.
Once one cultivated Stellar Energy, they would be able to enter the Postliminary Realm.
The next thing he had to do was to continuously cultivate Stellar Energy until it filled his entire body!
At this point, he would be at the peak of the Xiantian realm and could try to break through to the Zongshi realm.
Peak Xiantian Realm warriors needed to constantly temper and polish the Stellar Energy that filled their bodies.
He would temper and polish again!
Through repeated tempering and polishing, he would compress all of his Stellar Energy to the limit and seek the possibility of a breakthrough.
It was said that it was an extremely mysterious feeling.
When breaking through, the Stellar Energy in one’s body would be compressed into an undetectable speck of dust.
However, when it was condensed to the extreme, this speck of condensed Stellar Energy would turn into a meson of spiritual light.
The Meson Spiritual Light could light up all the meridians, flesh, and even every drop of blood in a martial artist’s body!
From this moment on, a martial artist’s strength would undergo a qualitative change and officially enter the grandmaster realm!
What he needed to do next was to continue cultivating Stellar Energy and strengthen that Meson Spiritual Light.
The minor realm of a grandmaster was divided according to the strength of the Meson Spiritual Light.
Some martial arts grandmasters only had the size of a mosquito.
It would only emit a strong spiritual light when it first broke through. After that, it would dim and be in a silent state.
However, for a powerful martial arts grandmaster, the Meson Spiritual Light was like a huge sun, continuously emitting power and injecting it into his body!
It could even achieve the effect of prolonging life.
Therefore, the gap between the two was huge.
It was even greater than the gap between an ordinary person and a warrior!
..
The Grandmaster that Su Mu first met was the personal guard of the Beiling King.
Those people were all outstanding grandmasters, and most of them were late-stage grandmasters.
Even the weakest Wei Zhuan was at Zongshi realm intermediate stage.
Later on, Su Mu met many ordinary martial dao grandmasters, who were completely incomparable to those peak grandmasters.
Moreover, most of them were at the middle or early stage of the grandmaster realm.
There weren’t many Peak Grandmasters.
The above was just the division of realms for martial artists.
As for the Qi Practitioners, demons, ghosts, and some special races, the classification of their powers was even more complicated.
The differences between different races were too great, and most of the time, one could only estimate them roughly.
The actual combat strength varied from person to person. One could not just look at the realm on the surface.
For example, Zhuge Hongtu.
When Su Mu met him in the last instance dungeon, he was at the late stage of Zongshi realm, and could be considered a peak Zongshi.
But at the same time, Zhuge Hongtu was also a Qi Practitioner, and he had some accomplishments.
Under the dual cultivation of martial arts, his combat strength could not be measured by common sense.
Now that he thought about it, Zhuge Hongtu’s strength had reached the half-step Martial God Realm. He was not weaker than the Dog God.
Yun Qingkong, a Qi Refinement expert, was slightly stronger than Zhuge Hongtu.
In other words, the Red Dragon Centipede that could suppress Zhuge Hongtu and Yun Qingkong by itself was already at Martial God Realm!
However, it should be at the initial stage.
Moreover, in the Origin World, the Scarlet Dragon Centipede had already used the Great Gan’s national fate to cultivate for decades. No one knew how far it had reached.
Su Mu didn’t forget that the ultimate goal of the demon was to transform into a dragon!
Once it turned into a dragon, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Who knew what this demon wanted to do?
..
Thinking of this, Su Mu felt a trace of pressure, and even forgot that he was actually a monster that was rapidly becoming stronger.
On the other side, the Nine-tailed Fox spent some time to grind the mountain-like Seal of Suppression into powder.
Afterwards, she turned her head and looked coldly at Su Mu.
To be more precise, he was looking at the thousands of demons on the Gobi Desert!
“Finally willing to show up? Let’s see how good you are.”
The demonic fox revealed a cold smile, and then the surging demonic qi almost materialized and pressed down on Su Mu!
Su Mu was unwilling to be outdone. Thousands of demons howled together, releasing a cold demonic aura that condensed together to resist the Nine-Tailed Fox’s demonic aura.
Two invisible auras split the sky into two and intertwined with each other. No one was willing to back down!
A somber and desolate atmosphere spread out, and the air gradually solidified.
Only those who had reached a certain level of strength could see the terror of the two great fiendish demons ‘secret tussle!
..
Just as Su Mu and the Nine-Tailed Fox were in a deadlock, a tall figure descended from the sky.
“Haha! Don’t forget, you still have me!”
Inugami was dressed as a Yin-Yang Master, and his white clothes fluttered as he descended from the sky.
Seeing this, Su Mu wished he could give it a tight slap!
Why didn’t he forget to act tough at this time?
Are you a dog?
As if sensing Su Mu’s unfriendly gaze, the dog god quickly shut his mouth and swallowed the words he wanted to say. He quickly came to Su Mu’s side.
The dog god’s expression turned solemn as he joined their battle of aura.
With the addition of the dog god, Su Mu’s aura suddenly became stronger, suppressing the demonic aura of the nine-tailed fox.
“It’s you?”
The nine-tailed fox looked at the dog god with a surprised expression.
However, he quickly reacted. His expression changed as he shouted,
“Did you come here specifically to look for me?”
The Nine-Tailed Fox looked at Su Mu and the Dog God warily, sensing a hint of danger.
She had thought that she was being targeted because she was investigating the earth vein in Jizhou.
After seeing the dog god, the great demon of Fu Sang Country, the nine-tailed demon fox immediately understood that this group of demons had come specially to find her!
This made the Nine-Tailed Fox’s alarm ring loudly. Her pale pink vertical pupils stared at Su Mu and the Dog God. At the same time, she slightly bared her teeth and her nine big tails began to dance.
It was as if he was ready to attack at any time!
..
The Nine-Tailed Fox’s guess was correct. Su Mu had indeed come for her from the start.
But Su Mu had already changed his mind.
Because in the current situation, there was no benefit in fighting the Nine-Tailed Fox.
Hanba’s seal was extremely powerful and it would not be broken in a short period of time.
Moreover, Su Mu knew a lot about formations, which made it even more difficult to break the seal.
If he couldn’t break the seal in a short time, his previous plan would be useless.
Su Mu originally wanted to let the Dog God and the demons under his command hold back the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox while he subdued Hanba and then turned around to take back the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox.
However, the movements caused by the battle between these level of great demons were extremely shocking. Even a hundred miles away would be able to sense it.
As time passed, it would definitely attract attention!
Therefore, Su Mu had already made up his mind when he tried to stop Huo Tianyu and the others.
He planned to cooperate with the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox first to undo Hanba’s seal.
He would take things one step at a time.
..
Su Mu controlled the Ox Demon to shrink back to his five-meter tall human form.
Then, he restrained his aura and calmly said to the nine-tailed fox,
“You’re thinking too much. We’re also here for Hanba, but it’s different from what you want.”
“Let’s work together and break the seal together.”
“You don’t want to kill them and attract the experts of Da Qian, right?”
Hearing this, the Nine-Tailed Fox’s eyes darkened and she lowered her head in thought.
A moment later, she looked at Su Mu and said in a deep voice:
“Alright, let’s break the seal together and get what we need. After the event, the well water does not invade the river water, we each go our own way.”
“Deal! Don’t worry, I’m a trustworthy person.”
Su Mu readily agreed.
However, only he knew what he was really thinking.
Of course, the nine-tailed fox would not trust him so easily. Its eyes were still full of vigilance.
It was just that the surface was no longer facing each other.
..
The nine-tailed demon fox shrunk her body and transformed back into a half-human, half-beast fox girl. She went to the black well with Su Mu and the dog god.
The two sides maintained a certain distance and maintained a fragile cooperative relationship.
“Who knows formations?”
Su Mu asked the other two demons.
Hearing this, the Nine-tailed Fox fell silent.
“I will!”
Seeing Su Mu’s question and the Nine-Tailed Fox’s silence, the dog god proudly cried out.
At the critical moment, you still have to depend on your Lord Dog!
