Chapter 113: Demonic Cultivator

“Careful that pellet flame!”

Feng Zhiyou’s expression drastically changed, as he exclaimed anxiously.

But just as his voice echoed out, an unkempt coagulation of liquid scarlet flames jetted out ferociously from the Twin-headed Canine’s demonic pellet.

The skinny old man and the cross-eyed cultivator were too late in retrieving their silver dragon-head crutches and black sickle artifact. Once the artifacts were swallowed by the liquid scarlet flames, they melted like snow; reduced to strips of metallic juice.

Witnessing this scene, the previously conceited cross-eyed cultivator’s face turned white as snow.

As for Wei Suo, his expression changed slightly as he immediately pressed his Silver Imprint, preparing to activate it. Instead, he hastily executed a secret technique.

In front of the cross-eyed cultivator, the rocky ground started churning; 3-4 varied size stone golems erupted from the ground.

However, the few golems were burnt into molten lava in a flash. As for the cross-eyed cultivator behind who couldn’t evade in time, he was engulfed by the pellet flames; releasing a mournful shriek as he transformed into ashes.

The Twin-headed Canine seemed to possess high intellect, bearing grudge towards the cross-eyed cultivator for calling others to attack its own left head. Once the demonic pellet sprayed out, it directly dealt with the cross-eyed cultivator.

For an upper-tier level 5 demonic beast, exhibiting its demonic pellet didn’t require the same sacrifice as a level 4 demonic beast; self-detonating their demonic pellets to kill their opponents. Instead, this demonic flame came from the true energy, energy essence of its demonic pellet. A regiment of pellet flames required years and years of accumulation.

Wei Suo’s cultivation had reached the Heavenly Circuit stage, his reaction was much faster than Divine Sea stage cultivators, yet even though he had quickly executed his skill to rescue the cross-eyed cultivator, it wasn’t enough.

The cross-eyed cultivator struggled in his despair. Fortunate to escape with their life, the fat cultivator and the muscular cultivator’s faces turned ashen as they witnessed the cross-eyed cultivator being reduced to ashes. They were utterly silenced from fear.

“Everyone, gather around brother Li. His flaming shield is a surefire defence against the pellet flames!” Feng Zhiyou once against smashed his yellow sceptre against the blooded maimed left dog head viciously, while shouting out instructions.

“Around him, fire against fire. Fire cannot be burnt by fire.” Even that cultivator Zhu who was currently in a daze, instantly awoke from his stupor and hurried over to Wei Suo and Han Weiwei.

“Wakao!” Wei Suo cursed in his heart. Although Feng Zhiyou’s words were correct, but he himself and Han Weiwei had immediately become human shields.

“Chi!’ A cackle erupted. Han Weiwei quick-wittedly activated the fireshield talisman that Wei Suo had given her previously; the one he took from that horse-faced cultivator. Another flaming shield formed ahead of them.

Suddenly, everyone’s expression sank because the right dog head suddenly widened its mouth, actually spitting out a thunder pellet; electricity still curling around it.

If the thunder pellet released sputtering lightning the same as Wei Suo’s ‘Golden-Serpent-Thunder skill’, then relying solely on the shield in front wasn’t adequate. Only a Divine-light type defence could provide total protection.

Wei Suo completely abandoned attacking, fishing out a Rank 2 ‘Goldlight talisman’ activating a golden divine-light screen to cover the surrounding people. But in that instance, with a deafening boom, a copper goblet sped out from the hands of the worried Feng Zhiyou; instantly growing bigger. Dong! It completely trapped the Twin-headed Canine inside.

Control was lost over the two goose egg sized demonic pellets. They halted and revolved in midair.

The skinny old man suddenly surged with joy.

“My ‘Copper-Cloud Goblet’ is only forged with copper essence, it cannot hold for long. Everyone, hurry up and attack the two demonic pellets, extinguish their true energy. If not, once the dog frees itself along with the other Twin-headed Canine, it would become troublesome for us.”

However, as Feng Zhiyou’s cries rang out, the skinny old cultivator’s face instantly turned ugly. He cast his artifacts and skills towards the revolving demonic pellets in heavy assault.

Within one or two breaths of work, distorted external depressions were knocked out on the surface of the ‘Copper-Cloud Goblet’, along with oppressive collision sounds.

Ice and fire filled the sky. Amidst the bombarding of violent winds and rainstorm, it was Han Weiwei’s ice dragon that dealt the most damage to the two demonic pellets. Although the flaming pellet no longer released pellet flames, but its exterior temperature wasn’t the least bit inferior to pellet flames. Once an artifact clashed against it, it would be burnt; ruined. Even clashing against that thunder pellet, the artifact’s spirit would be greatly destroyed by the electric current. Yet when the Ice dragon slammed into it, crunching and sizzling noises emitted from the surface of the flaming pellet, its glowing red lustre grew substantially dimmer.

The skinny cultivator wasn’t dumb. Observing this scene, he immediately produced various ice element talismans, and activated them.

However after a brief assault, the ‘Copper-Cloud Goblet’ was distorted beyond imagination. Following a piercing cranking split, the Goblet tore into 4 fragments. The Twin-headed Canine actually forcefully broke through this artifact and charged out.

Swish Swish! The freed Twin-headed Canine bluntly retrieved its demonic pellets, and started fleeing backwards.

“Quicksand talisman!”

With the fastest reaction, Wei Suo activated an earthen-yellow talisman. Suddenly, the ground beneath the Twin-headed Canine morphed into a plain of quicksand, causing the Twin-headed Canine to sink inside.

“Worthy to be called a Heavenly Circuit cultivator!” Such reaction and decision, caused the skinny cultivator’s eyes to glisten with respect.

“I have an artifact that needs some time, help me tie down that dog!’ Feng Zhiyou turned to Wei Suo and spoke, simultaneously retrieving a bronze colored ancient mirror; concentrating his true energy towards it.

Seeing that Bronze ancient mirror, filled with web-like cracks, Wei Suo understood its might was definitely not trifling. However, it had one flaw, it was an artifact that required a definite activation time.

Without the slightest hesitation, he nodded at Han Weiwei and hummed a tone. Then Wei Suo directly activated his ‘Dark-demon blade’.

With Wei Suo’s current cultivation, he could activate the ‘Dark-demon blade’ at least 3-4 times. As for his strongest tool on hand, it was that true spirit class black arrow. As for the most sinister tool, it was that Invisible bone spur that was just forged. Thus, the ‘Dark-demon blade’ wasn’t considered his trump card.

“Spirit class artifact!”

Hearing the sound the ‘Dark-demon blade’ emitted, apart from Han Weiwei, the rest of the cultivators including Feng Zhiyou had a slight change in expression.

Chi! The ‘Dark-demon blade’ drilled a bloodied hole into the Twin-headed Canine’s already maimed left head. The Twin-headed Canine violently struggled in agony inside the quicksand.

“Here it comes!”

Following a dreadful, scalp numbing roar, the second upper-tier level 5 demonic beast Twin-headed Canine finally appeared baring its yellowish gangs.

“Go!”

Meanwhile, with a solemn expression, Feng Zhiyou exclaimed aloud. A thumb wide green beam shot out of the bronze ancient mirror, materializing into a green blade; ferociously impaling into the nearly destroyed brains of the left dog head.

“Although its activation speed is lacking, it actually produced the might of a spirit artifact,” Wei Suo and Han Weiwei could observe, the left dog head was now dangling off its neck, almost fully severed.

Blood spurted out profusely, seemingly turning a miserably faint green. Although it wasn’t dead, it could no longer withstand that highly toxic poison of the cultivator Zhu’s artifact. It had completely lost its basic resistance.

Personally witnessing this scene, the Twin-headed Canine who had just arrived became deranged. With a murderous howl, it straightforwardly spat out a flaming pellet and thunder pellet.

But at this instance, that Twin-headed Canine suddenly tilted its head upwards. A hesitant expression surfaced.

The two Heavenly Circuit stage cultivator’s hearts skip a beat, simultaneously gazing towards the sky above.

Nearly 120 metres above them, was a young male dressed in splendorous moss green robes. He was stepping on a 3 metre long giant blade, as he spectated from the air. The giant blade was painted in scarlet, bright and fresh as if it was dipped in blood. A layer of faint blood aura lingered around him, causing one’s hair to stand on end.

The youth’s appearance was pretty, it was simply too pretty; giving off an untold feminine devilish sensation.

On his left hand, hung a string of white prayer beads. He was currently excitedly observing the two Twin-headed Canines below.

Wei Suo’s heart couldn’t help but tighten upon seeing the sudden appearance of this feminine devilish cultivator. “Heavenly Circuit stage level 2 cultivator!”

This devilish youth with excessively pretty features, was shockingly at level 2 Heavenly Circuit stage. In fact, he was a cultivator that was half a step into the Heavenly Circuit Stage level 3!

At this moment, the Twin-headed Canine decisively decided, whimpering as it kept its demonic pellets. It no longer cared about its dying companion, but turned and fled.

A fairly discernable smile emerged from the youth’s face.

In a flash, a silver skill talisman was activated. A clump of silver light descended around a 300 metres radius of that Twin-headed Canine, circling around like a headless housefly.

“Rank 3 ‘Bewildering-god talisman’!”

After Feng Zhiyou announced the name of the youth’s talisman, the devilish youth nonchalantly waved his hand, speaking. “These two Twin-headed Canines are mine, everyone can leave now.”

“Senior!” Feng Zhiyou’s face instantly froze. “Even if senior didn’t show up, we would’ve been able to deal with these two Twin-headed Canines. Moreover, we had already inflicted severe damages to one; if senior wants us to leave, then that seems a little inappropriate.”

“That’s right, who do you think you are!” What caused Wei Suo to turn speechless, was that muscular all brawns no brains cultivator. He immediately shouted out, “Do you see our two Heavenly Circuit stage cultivators?”
