Chapter 241: Chapter 111: The Thousand-Year-Old Family! Demon Monster Crystalization!_2
Demon Monsters, a superior race! A race even higher than humans!
Born innately powerful and in possession of bizarre Demon Arts, along with an Immortal Body and more, unless one’s strength was overwhelming enough to crush them, Martial Artists would find it extremely difficult to kill a Demon Monster.
After all, no matter how severe the injury, a Demon Monster could quickly recover, while a Human Warrior would die from a fatal wound—a vast advantage indeed.
Demon Monsters were incredibly dangerous, but the rewards for hunting one were unimaginably great, with the most valuable part of them being the core of their power—the Demon Crystal Core!
The Demon Crystal Core, something money could hardly buy, was a treasure not circulated in the market, its value beyond ordinary Martial Artists’ imagination!
The white-clothed young man had come to Ink Forest Prefecture City with the burly man precisely for this Demon Crystal Core.
But now, the Demon Monster had been killed, and even the Demon Crystal Core had been taken—a peach plucked by someone else!
“Who… which bastard stole my prey! Stole my treasure!”
The handsome face of the white-clothed youth twisted, his pupils flashing a faint green light, quite terrifying. His figure shot around the wild mountain like lightning, hoping that the person who had killed the Demon Monster and taken its core hadn’t left yet, but of course, his search yielded nothing.
“Mr. Mu, the Demon Monster being killed is good news. Our mission is completed, and we can go back to Dafeng State City to report,” said the burly man, seeing Mr. Mu, who seemed frustrated and furious.
In the eyes of the burly man, Mr. Mu had gone too far by simply allowing the Demon Monster to rampage, and now someone in Ink Forest Prefecture City had killed the Demon Monster, yet Mr. Mu was still so upset? Those born in the Mu Family were indeed madmen beyond reason!
“What do you know?” Mr. Mu glared at the burly man, growling as though he was about to devour him.
“Mu Jin! Do you want to fight me now?” Seeing that vicious glare, the burly man could no longer contain his anger, as a thick presence of Qi and Blood boiled within him.
Being a Martial Artist, he was already quick-tempered. Out of respect for Mu Jin’s status, he had restrained himself, but the other man didn’t consider him at all, scolding and roaring at him, which made him face pent-up frustration.
Although Mu Jin’s eyes were fierce, he ultimately did not make a move. He took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.
“Looking at the marks on the ground, the person who killed the Demon Monster specializes in Blade Technique, shattering the Demon Monster’s body with continuous Chopping strikes before burning it…”
Mu Jin examined the chaotic battlefield in the wilderness, his eyes reflecting deep thought.
“In this Ink Forest Prefecture City, there are many Martial Artists skilled in Blade Technique, yet finding one capable of killing a Demon Monster with it… that is difficult. However, this is a clue. I just need to find the experts in Blade Technique of this city and question each one, perhaps then I can retrieve my Demon Crystal Core!”
Mu Jin quickly planned in his mind.
While there were many adept in Blade Techniques, the famed blade experts could be counted on one hand. The person who killed the Demon Monster and took the Demon Crystal Core was an expert in Blade Technique, most likely one of the known masters in Ink Forest Prefecture City!
All it would take is visiting each one to find out who killed the Demon Monster!
“Tie He, you can go back now. No need to follow me. I have some matters to attend to!” Thinking this, Mu Jin addressed the burly man, not waiting for his response. In a flash, leaving behind a trail of white afterimage, he vanished into the wilderness using Shrinking into Inches.
“Hmph… A Demon Crystal Core is not a treasure that lowly mortals can enjoy!”
Mr. Mu Jin sneered in his white attire, knowing that the Demon Monsters were very rare and their Demon Crystal Cores even rarer, and thus not something he would allow others to take from him.
“People from the Mu Family are indeed lunatics beyond any normal understanding!”
The burly man, watching Mr. Mu disappear into the wild mountains, couldn’t help but curse vehemently.
“But this Ink Forest Prefecture City actually has an expert in Blade Technique capable of killing a Demon Monster? I would truly like to meet him!”
Then, the burly man looked at the obvious blade-induced cracks on the ground, also wondering who this person who killed the Demon Monster was!
…
Su Changkong naturally did not know that shortly after his departure, someone had arrived at the wild mountain and vowed to reclaim the Demon Crystal Core from him.
At this moment, Su Changkong had already traveled three to four hundred miles at top speed, returning to the Giant Whale Gang.
After returning to the Giant Whale Gang, Su Changkong took a good bath, having unavoidably stained himself with some impurities while dealing with the Demon Monster’s dismembered corpse. Moreover, bathing was the best way to relax!
“That was close… Feng Mo was too arrogant. Plus, my understanding of his techniques helped, or else who would’ve ended up victorious is debatable.”
Soaking in the bathtub, Su Changkong reflected on his fight with Feng Mo, mentally noting.
Being able to kill Feng Mo was not just because of the strong Blade Qi Su Changkong cultivated, but also because of a previous encounter with Feng Mo, which gave him insight into Feng Mo’s abilities and techniques.
Otherwise, facing him in battle without any understanding could have led to a severe setback!
“Demon Monsters are indeed a miraculous species. There are certainly more than just one or two in the world. Among the Demon Monsters, Feng Mo probably wasn’t the strongest. The world is vast, and what I know is just the tip of the iceberg. One must not be overly self-important!”
Su Changkong also realized that his strength was hard to match within Ink Forest Prefecture City, but dominating a small city was not what he aspired to.
