My Cold and Elegant CEO Wife - Chapter 1301

Chapter 1301: Black Demonic Rats Approaches

 

Suddenly, a black rat crawled out from the cave, its eyes cold and ghastly. It looked at Yitian Shou with a thirst for blood.

“Oh snap, it’s the black demonic rat.” Yitian Shou panicked when he saw the black demonic rat.

Regarding the first level of Hell and this horrifying species of rat, Yitian Shou knew all about them. He had seen them before and knew what they were capable of.

Black demonic rats resided in the first layer of Hell and they were definitely the strongest demonic beasts here. Even though they weren’t strong individually, black demonic rats rarely appeared alone. They were usually in groups.

Whenever the black demonic rats appeared, there would at least be a dozen and possibly up to hundreds, thousands, and even ten thousand.

If there were more that appeared, such as over ten thousand, even Qingfeng Li would have a hard time surviving.

Yitian Shou didn’t look like he was doing well. There were many caverns because he was in a cave.

Since a black demonic rat had emerged from this cavern, what about then other ones? Would there be black demonic rats too?

Yitian Shou wouldn’t be able to fight against black demonic rats if there were many of them.

Just as Yitian Shou expected, things were just starting to get to the worst situation. In the neighboring few caverns, nineteen black demonic rats appeared one after another.

A total of twenty black demonic rats came from different directions and surrounded Yitian Shou.

Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy followed the smell of Hell Flower and came to this cave. When they came to the entrance, they saw the situation inside.

Yitian Shou and the Flame Tiger were surrounded by twenty black demonic rats inside the cave.

Black Puppy was going to snatch the Hell Flower, but Qingfeng Li stopped it from entering the cave.

Black Puppy frowned and said, “Qingfeng Li, why didn’t you let me in? Our goal is to snatch the Hell Flower to find Saint-Perishing Fruit right?”

Qingfeng Li shook his head and said in a low voice, “If we go in now, there are two groups of enemies we’ll be facing. The first is Yitian Shou and Flame Tiger, and the second one are the black demonic rats. I want to have them fight each other, so that we get to benefit as the third party.”

After hearing Qingfeng Li’s words, Black Puppy nodded and agreed, as the idea was very reasonable.

When they were fighting for the Hell Flower, Yitian Shou tricked Qingfeng Li. He seized the Hell Flower when Qingfeng Li was battling against Leng Bing and Binger Zhao.

Now, Qingfeng Li had to get revenge on Yitian Shou. He will be pulling the same trick Yitian Shou pulled on him.

“Flame Tiger, the black demonic rats are appearing everywhere. It’s not looking good. Let’s leave now,” Yitian Shou said, swinging his right hand, and gesturing to the Flame Tiger to leave with him.

The Flame Tiger nodded, since it knew about the terror of the black demonic rats. Even though the Flame Tiger was very strong and wouldn’t be afraid of one black demonic rat, it wouldn’t be able to fight against them if there were so many of them.

The black demonic rats obviously wouldn’t let Yitian Shou and the Flame Tiger go when they saw them leaving. One of the black demonic rats jumped, swinging its paws towards Yitian Shou’s body.

“You dare to attack me? You’re so dead!” Yitian Shou yelled.

Yitian Shou’s right fist punched out abruptly, turning into a huge fist with invincible power and smashing onto the black demonic rat’s body. The black demonic rat’s body exploded, turning into bloody paste.

As the young sect master of the Beast-Emperor Sect, Yitian Shou was very powerful. It was a piece of cake for him to kill a black demonic rat.

Seeing one black demonic rat dead, the rest of the black demonic rats screamed mournfully as if they were grieving. Their bodies began soaring at Yitian Shou and the Flame Tiger one by one. They had to kill this hateful human being to avenge their brethren.

Yitian Shou was furious. He wanted to leave the cave because he sensed danger in here.

But the funny thing was, these black demonic rats wouldn’t let him go, which made him extremely angry.

“Go die! How dare you try to block me! I will kill you all!” Yitian Shou’s expression became cold.

“Beast Emperor Fist!” Yitian Shou yelled and used his strongest fist technique.

Yitian Shou’s fist exploded the air. A black whirlpool appeared in the cave and smashed ruthlessly on the nineteen black demonic rats. Their bodies exploded into blood and flesh, dropping down inside the cave.

Beast Emperor Fist was an emperor level fist technique. Yitian Shou had mastered the first three fists, which were very incredibly powerful.

Qingfeng Li stood outside of the cave and was surprised when he saw Yitian Shou’s fist kill the dozens of black demonic rats.

“This Yitian Shou is pretty good at fist attacks. If not because of the black demonic rats, I would have jumped in to battle him and see who’s fist technique is better,” Qingfeng Li thought and smiled.

“Flame Tiger, let’s hurry up and leave.” Even though Yitian Shou killed twenty black demonic rats, he wasn’t proud about it. Instead, he wanted to speed up and leave as soon as possible.

Yitian Shou felt the cave was getting even more dangerous. It didn’t become safer when he kill some black demonic rats.

There were even more “sisi” sounds and intense movements in the dark. The waves of sounds were dense and endless, just like sea water.

As a ninth level king tier beast, the Flame Tiger had great hearing. It certainly heard the “sisi” sounds coming from deep inside the cave. It sped up and got ready to leave, but it was too late.

Sou sou sou sou sou…

Countless black demonic rats rushed out from the caverns within the cave. There were so many of them, numbering at least ten thousand.

Ten thousand black demonic rats filed out from the surroundings of the cave. From top to bottom, left to right, front to back, every single rock, and every single corner was occupied without a gap anywhere.

Yitian Shou freaked out as he was caught by surprise. His face turned pale.

Yitian Shou was powerful and he could kill five, fifty, even five hundred black demonic rats. However, facing ten thousand black demonic rats was impossible for him.

It was because these black demonic rats were all very powerful. Most importantly, the black demonic rats’ spirit energy was also strong.

Countless black demonic rats gather together and made the air vibrate to the point of fissures appearing. They hadn’t even released their sonic attacks and the space in the cave was already unstable. The surrounding rocks were cracking as if they would collapse anytime.

A reddish black demonic rat stood amongst the ten thousand black demonic rats.

The crimson black demonic rat was very huge and about three to four times the size of the black demonic rats beside it. It stood there with its arms folded and its eyes flashing with intelligence.

The crimson demonic rat was the king of the black demonic rats. It was called Black Demonic Rat King.

“Black Demonic Rat King?” Qingfeng Li stood at the entrance of the cave, looking surprised.

Chapter 1302: Black Demonic Rat King

 

“Human, you dare intrude into my domain and kill my subordinates. I will kill you, devour your spirit, and eat your body.” The Black Demonic Rat King looked at Yitian Shou with the intention to kill him.

Yitian Shou was gloomy and felt unfortunate when he heard the Black Demonic Rat King.

Qingfeng Li stood at the entrance of the cave and freaked out when he saw the Rat King appear.

“Thankfully, I didn’t enter the cave. Or else it would be truly dangerous if I bumped into the Black Demonic Rat King as well,” Qingfeng Li gladly thought to himself.

In the cave, Yitian Shou deeply regretted his decision and felt depressed.

Yitian Shou’s original plan was to find a cave to refine the Hell Flower. Unexpectedly, the cave that he found was part of the Black Demonic Rat King’ territory. If this wasn’t unfortunate, what was?

If one had to choose who had the worst luck, it would be Yitian Shou and no one else.

“Flame Tiger, rush out of here and don’t get tangled up here. Once we get surrounded by these black demonic rats, we will die for sure.” Yitian Shou was smart and saw that he was at a disadvantage.

Yitian Shou knew that if he met ten thousand black demonic rats and the Black Demonic Rat King, escaping would be the smartest choice.

The Flame Tiger nodded and roared. It soared up, spread its wings, and turned into a black lightning bolt as it tried to fly out of the cave.

“Kiddos, let’s move up! Stop those two and kill them!” the Black Demonic Rat King’ arm swung, and it ordered the black demonic rat beside it.

Suddenly, thousands of black demonic rats jumped up from the ground, turned into rays of black lightning, and rushed towards the Flame Tiger. The Flame Tiger was immediately surrounded.

The whole cave was full of black demonic rats. If the Flame Tiger wanted to rush out, it had to kill the black demonic rats blocking its way. If not, it would be trapped and die here.

Flame Tiger opened its mouth and spat out a red ray of flames. The flames had terribly high temperature and burned the black demonic rats in the front to death. The rats’ fur and bodies became ashes.

At the meantime, Yitian Shou, who was on top of Flame Tiger, also swung his fists towards the black demonic rats. He exploded those black demonic rats who attacked him into pieces.

Qingfeng Li stood outside of the cave and watched the inside with the Black Puppy. He was excited when he saw Yitian Shou fight against those black demonic rats.

Qingfeng Li knew that if the black demonic rats and Yitian Shou were both injured, he could obtain Hell Flower without doing anything.

Inside the cave, Yitian Shou and the Flame Tiger were attacking the black demonic rats around them, but there were way too many of them.

After Yitian Shou and the Flame Tiger killed one, there would be two more and after they killed those two, three more would come up to them. Even though they killed many black demonic rats, more of the black demonic rats replaced the ones that died, almost filling the space in the cave.

The most critical thing was that these black demonic rats had opened their sharp mouths and released powerful sonic attacks.

Countless cracks appeared within the space were torn apart by the sonic attack from black demonic rats.

The black demonic rat’s sonic attack went inside of Yitian Shou’s mind and made him scream painfully.

“Flame Tiger, get out of here fast! Let’s escape from here.” Yitian Shou yelled at Flame Tiger, wanting him to get him away from this place.

Roar!

The Flame Tiger howled and launched itself off the ground. Its body soared up, aiming to rush out of the cave.

The Black Demonic Rat King looked at the Flame Tiger and said coldly, “Little brat, you will stay here. Don’t even think about leaving.”

The Black Demonic Rat King opened its mouth and screeched. The screech was extremely loud and powerful, transforming into a huge rat-shaped sonic wave.

The sonic-wave occupied half of the cave and bit the Flame Tiger’s tail, causing it to scream painfully as its tail was snapped off.

Although the Flame Tiger was in the ninth level of the king-tier and was a powerful variant of the Demon Tiger, it couldn’t resist the Black Demonic Rat King’s attack. Yitian Shou was horrified after he saw this scene.

It was scary, way too scary. This Black Demonic Rat King’s power was beyond his imagination.

“Beast Emperor Fist!” Yitian Shou yelled as he channeled the vital essence inside his body and used his most powerful fist technique.

Yitian Shou knew that he must open up a way to leave, or else he would only be awaiting his death.

“Emperor level fist arts. Nice attack power, but it’s no match for me.” The Black Demonic Rat King laughed coldly with disdain.

“Rat Emperor Claw!” the Black Demonic Rat King yelled. Its right claw suddenly scratched out, turned into a giant claw, and tore open a huge hole in the air.

Inside the hole, there were countless pieces of space fragments as well as space fissures. It was extremely scary.

Bang!

A loud noise sounded, and Yitian Shou’s Beast Emperor Fist was broken by the Black Demonic Rat King’ claw.

Puuchi!

Yitian Shou spat out a glob of blood as his face turned pale with horror. He didn’t expect that his opponent could break his strongest attack.

“Human, you’re too weak and couldn’t even defend against my physical attacks. I will attack you with my spiritual techniques and kill you guys thoroughly.” The Black Demonic Rat King laughed coldly.

In the family of black demonic rats, the most crucial attack wasn’t their physical attacks but rather their spiritual techniques. Their spiritual attacks were extremely powerful, being able to penetrate the spirit energy of self-cultivators and kill them.

Black Demonic Rat King opened its mouth, channeled its spiritual energy, and screeched. The screech was extremely powerful and formed a giant sonic attack aimed at Yitian Shou.

Qingfeng Li heard the sonic attack from the exterior of the cave and panicked. He felt the spiritual attack was way too strong and that, even if he wanted to block it, he couldn’t.

Only the Black-White Millstone in Qingfeng Li’s mind could defeat this spiritual attack.

Qingfeng Li believed that Yitian Shou in the cave couldn’t take the spiritual attack and would be killed for sure.

However, the result was completely the opposite from Qingfeng Li’s prediction. Yitian Shou blocked the spiritual attack from the Black Demonic Rat King.

Yitian Shou held up the Hell Flower and it absorbed the spiritual attack from the Black Demonic Rat King fully.

The Hell Flower was the most powerful and mysterious flower in the first layer of Hell. It could absorb human beings, all kinds of beasts, and plants’ spirits.

Seeing that its spiritual attack didn’t have an effect, the Black Demonic Rat King felt stunned. It decided to gather all its subordinates to kill Yitian Shou.

“Kiddos, use your spiritual attacks together and tear their spirits apart,” Black Demonic Rat King said to the ten thousand black demonic rats beside him.

Hou hou!!

More than ten thousand black demonic rats opened their mouths at the same time and screeched, releasing more than ten thousand sonic waves aimed at Yitian Shou.

The sonic attack waves were extremely powerful and made the caverns collapsed. There were many cracks within the rocks that seemed like spider webs, and it was as if they could break down anytime.

What a pity! More than ten thousand sonic waves shot at Yitian Shou, but they were all absorbed by the Hell Flower in his hand.

Qingfeng Li had a great view of what happened. The attack of these black demonic rats didn’t even scratch Yitian Shou a bit, but instead gave him free spirit energy.

Chapter 1303: Yitian Shou Was Injured

 

Qingfeng Li stood outside of the cave. His eyebrows locked together in worry.

Even though Qingfeng Li knew that there were many black demonic rats and their spiritual attacks were strong, Yitian Shou had the Hell Flower in his hand.

The Hell Flower was the most powerful flower in the first layer of Hell. It was capable of absorbing the spiritual energy of self-cultivators and beasts, so any spiritual attack would be useless against the Hell Flower.

“Doggy, what do you say about us going inside and snatching the Hell Flower? Or else, Yitian Shou might be able to escape,” Qingfeng Li asked the Black Puppy beside him.

Black Puppy shook its head and said, “No need. If we go in now, Yitian Shou and the black demonic rats will attack us right away. Let them keep fighting. When they are both worn out, that’s when we step in.”

Qingfeng Li frowned and asked, “Doggy, Yitian Shou possesses the Hell Flower, and I’m afraid that the Hell Flower will get damaged. The black demonic rats will find out that their spiritual attacks don’t work, and they will attack physically instead. Even simply piling up will tire Yitian Shou to death.”

Black Puppy shook its head and said affirmatively, “You don’t need to worry about that. The Hell Flower isn’t that fragile. Even if their claws hit it, it won’t break. The flower is an nonentity as it is composed of spirit energy. It’s not a real flower.”

Hearing Black Puppy’s explanation, Qingfeng Li nodded in satisfaction. All of his worries completely disappeared.

Qingfeng Li looked inside the cave to observe the condition.

Inside the cave, the black demonic rats and Yitian Shou kept on fighting against each other.

The Black Demonic Rat King waved its hand to stop the black demonic rats’ spiritual attacks because it found out that the Hell Flower in Yitian Shou’s hand had made him invulnerable to them.

“Kiddos, don’t use spirit energy to attack Yitian Shou. Use your claws and teeth to scratch and bite him to death.” The Black Demonic Rat King waved his hand and said to the more than ten thousand black demonic rats beside him.

Sou sou sou sou sou…

The ten thousand black demonic rats soared up and swung their claws, cutting through the air with a loud wobbling sound and aimed at Yitian Shou with the intention of killing him.

Yitian Shou was reluctant to show any weakness. He channeled the spirit energy inside him, punched out with his right fist, which turned into a huge energy fist.

The fist contained invincible power, clashing with those black demonic rats and making an exploding sound.

The rocks broke into pieces and the air separated. The clash even created a hole at the top of the cave. On the ground, there were numerous fissures.

Even more black demonic rats rushed out of the cavern, the amount endless and seemingly still increasing.

Those ten thousand of black demonic rats were like locust, filling up the whole cave and attacking Yitian Shou.

Yitian Shou was full of anger and regrets. He totally didn’t expect the cave that he chose would be the lair of the black demonic rats. It was too unfortunate.

At the same time, a group of black demonic rats attacked the Flame Tiger. They wouldn’t let go of this tiger either.

Qingfeng Li’s face paled even though he was only watching from the outside. Seeing more than ten thousand black demonic rats at the same time, he was scared to death.

“Fortunately, I didn’t go in, or I would have died.” Qingfeng Li patted his chest and rejoiced.

The Flame Tiger wasn’t as strong as Yitian Shou. In a short time, there were numerous scratches on its skin and it had bled everywhere.

The surrounding black demonic rats were all pumped up by their approaching victory and kept on attacking.

There were too many black demonic rats. They separated Yitian Shou and the Flame Tiger and attacked them individually.

The Flame Tiger roared and released a sonic attack, but it didn’t work against those black demonic rats. It tried using physical attack and lashed out with its huge tiger paw. Although it could kill some black demonic rats by hitting them, there were endless amounts of them that surrounded its body.

These black demonic rats opened their mouths, revealing their sharp teeth, and biting the Flame Tiger’s skin.

In a moment, the Flame Tiger was severely injured, and its stamina completely ran out. It fell onto the ground, causing the dust and pebbles to fly up.

All the black demonic rats rushed up when they saw the Flame Tiger was defeated. It was just like they saw a delicious meal. Their sharp teeth kept on biting and swallowing the skin and meat of the Flame Tiger.

In a short time, the powerful Flame Tiger died, leaving behind only a pile of bones.

Its skin, body, and internal organs were all eaten by the black demonic rats.

The Black Demonic Rat King waved its right hand and conjured a suctioning force which drew in the Demonic Pill on top of the bones of Flame Tiger.

The Flame Tiger was a ninth level king tier beast. It was extremely powerful and so was its demonic pill, which contained immense vital essence.

The king of black demonic rat opened its mouth and putthe Flame Tiger’s Demonic Pill inside its mouth. In a short time, it refined the Demonic Pill into its own vital essence.

An immensely oppressive aura rushed out of the Black Demonic Rat King’s body and covered up the entire sky.

The strength of the Black Demonic Rat King broke through to the half-step Spirit Emperor Realm.

The strength of demonic beasts at this level would be much stronger than Yitian Shou’s.

The Black Demonic Rat King swung out its right palm abruptly into a palm that was as big as the sky.

The giant palm contained invincible power like a mountain and smashed onto Yitian Shou’s body. Yitian Shou was sent flying backwards due to the attack, and landed heavily on the stone wall of the cave. Two of his ribs were broken, blood splashed out from his mouth, and he fell onto the ground.

Puuchi!

Yitian Shou opened his mouth and spat out another gulp of blood. His face was pale because his body was severely injured. He felt that his internal organs even had some ruptures.

“Damn this Black Demonic Rat King! After it consumed Flame Tiger’s Demonic Pill, it became so strong that I am no match for it anymore,” Yitian Shou cursed and stood up with difficulty. His whole body seemed to be breaking apart.

Yitian Shou knew that he couldn’t stay here anymore. Staying here would be his death. Escape! He must escape and get away from this cave in order to survive!

“Ignite Essence Blood, Air Escape Technique,” Yitian Shou chanted a spell. It was a spell from the Beast-Emperor Sect.

This was Yitian Shou’s essence blood. The blood flew up to the sky and formed a bizarre talisman scripture. It wrapped Yitian Shou within an enormous mass of energy and rushed him out the cave like a black lightning bolt.

Qingfeng Li stood at the entrance of the cave and panicked when he saw Yitian Shou run towards him.

Damn this Yitian Shou! Why aren’t you fighting inside the cave with the Black Demonic Rat King, instead running towards me? Damn it!

Qingfeng Li already prepared to kill Yitian Shou if he came out, so that he could take the Hell Flower from him.

Chapter 1304: Obtaining Hell Flower

 

Qingfeng Li stood at the entrance, getting ready to ambush Yitian Shou, who had been beaten up by the Black Demonic Rat King before he could escape from the cave.

“You think you can get away?” The Black Demonic Rat King laughed coldly.

Xiu!

The Black Demonic Rat King opened its mouth and spat out a ray of black light.

The black light was just like a lightning bolt and traveled faster than the speed of light. It instantly shot at Yitian Shou’s back and punched a big hole through his body. His bones were visible and blood spurted out, dying the whole cave crimson red.

The black light was the Black Demonic Rat King’s superpower and contained invincible power. Even if Yitian Shou utilized his essence blood to run away, it wouldn’t work.

Sou!

Yitian Shou’s body was shot by the black light and the Hell Flower in his hand was thrown out by the force of inertia and ended up at the entrance of the cave.

Qingfeng Li was standing in front of the cave. His right hand stretched and gripped abruptly onto the Hell Flower as quick as lightning.

Black Puppy was speechlessly watching all this, saying, “You are in luck. You sat back and waited, and the Hell Flower actually came to you.”

Qingfeng Li stood there and was speechless as well. He tried so hard and hadn’t managed to get the Hell Flower earlier, but now the Hell Flower flew into his hand while he was just standing there.

It came so easily to him. Sometimes one might not get something they wanted, but with patience, the Hell Flower came to him.

In the cave, Yitian Shou was angered when saw his Hell Flower was snatched away by Qingfeng Li. Yitian Shou opened his mouth and spat out a gulp of blood. He felt like he had just eaten a crab.

The Black Demonic Rat King’s body turned into a lightning bolt and arrived by Yitian Shou when he was still blanking out. It swung its paws and clawed at Yitian Shou’s body, tearing off Yitian Shou’s left arm.

All the surrounding black demonic rats ran up and ate up Yitian Shou’s arm in no time, leaving only the bones.

Yitian Shou screamed mournfully because his left arm had been ripped out. His chest was penetrated, his ribs were broken, and now he had lost his arm. It was just like a living hell for him.

Yitian Shou couldn’t care about the Hell Flower at this time. He waved the only arm he had and attacked the Black Demonic Rat King. He knew he had to kill Black Demonic Rat King, or else he would die.

When a person was close to death, he or she would burst out with strong combat power by igniting his own essence blood. Yitian Shou was in this situation.

Qingfeng Li stood at the entrance. He didn’t go and help Yitian Shou’s battle against the Black Demonic Rat King because neither the Black Demonic Rat King nor Yitian Shou was his friend.

“Doggy, let’s hurry up and leave here.” Qingfeng Li moved and decided to run away.

Qingfeng Li knew that they had to escape when Yitian Shou and the Black Demonic Rat King were still fighting in the cave. They had to get away from here and the further they could go, the better it would be.

It was because that if those two reacted to the situation, the Black Demonic Rat King would kill Qingfeng Li for sure. Qingfeng Li didn’t want to get involved with thousands of black demonic rats. That would be asking to die.

Black Puppy nodded, leaving the cave with Qingfeng Li and running far away like lightning.

Qingfeng Li revolved the vital essence in his body and ran crazily and faster than anyone else. He even ditched Black Puppy for tens of meters.

After half an hour, Qingfeng Li ran for a hundred kilometers. Qingfeng Li stopped and relaxed because the distance should be far enough.

Qingfeng Li saw a cliff in the front. There was a waterfall underneath the cliff, and a cave inside the fall.

The cave was similar to the Cave of Water Curtains in Journey to the West. Qingfeng Li could see it because he had a good eyesight

“Doggy, let’s go inside the cave behind the waterfall,” Qingfeng Li said to the Black Puppy beside him.

Black Puppy nodded and said, “Okay, I will guard you at the entrance of the cave. You go inside and refine the Hell Flower quickly.”

Sou sou!!

Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy turned into two rays of black lightning, rushing through the waterfall instantly and entering the cave behind the waterfall.

It was a black cave. Its entrance was about ten meters’ width and depth were more than a hundred meters. Both of them walked towards the end of the cave.

Qingfeng Li held the Night Light Pearl in his hands. This was the treasure he got from somewhere else. It could brighten up the whole cave just like during the daytime.

There were dusts everywhere and dense spider webs.

It had been a long time since someone lived here. Demonic beasts didn’t come here either because this place was too messy and dirty, so it totally became a deserted place.

Qingfeng Li went deeper into the interior of the cave and saw a stone table and a stone platform.

Both the stone table and stone platform were items from ancient Earth and they didn’t collapse throughout a thousand years. On top of them, there were scratches and textures, which added vicissitude atmosphere.

Seeing these antiquities, Qingfeng Li even felt like he returned back to the ancient Earth.

Qingfeng Li cleaned up the area and didn’t waste much time before he sat on top of the stone platform.

Qingfeng Li took out the Hell Flower and scrutinized it. As of this Hell Flower, Qingfeng Li didn’t know how to refine it because it was his first time seeing it.

All of a sudden, the Black-White Millstone in his mind started trembling as if it saw a delicious meal. It wanted to come out and eat the Hell Flower.

Qingfeng Li panicked when he felt the Black-White Millstone’s behavior. He knew that the Black-White Millstone was a greedy eater and had a strong appetite for spirit energy. If it consumed the Hell Flower, then he wouldn’t be able to get any benefits.

Qingfeng Li stretched out his right hand and held the Hell Flower tightly.

At this time, Black-White Millstone came out from Qingfeng Li’s mind and wanted to eat yjr Hell Flower. However, it found out it couldn’t consume it because it was in Qingfeng Li’s hand.

“Black-White Millstone, you can’t eat the Hell Flower. It still has use to me and I have to refine it,” Qingfeng Li frowned and warned the Black-White Millstone.

The Black-White Millstone turned into a black and white vortex and still wanted to consume Hell Flower despite Qingfeng Li’s warning.

Qingfeng Li was very pissed. This Black-White Millstone still wanted to consume Hell Flower and ignored his words.

“Fire Dragon Senior, please come and help me fight the Black-White Millstone. After it’s done, I will split you half of the spirit energy of Hell Flower.” Qingfeng Li telepathically to the Fire Dragon Soul in his mind.

Chapter 1305: Emperor Level Spirit Energy

 

Hearing Qingfeng Li’s words, the Fire Dragon Soul flew out of Qingfeng Li’s mind. It breathed out strong flames and shot a warning glance at the Black-White Millstone coldly.

Fire Dragon Soul released a spiritual wave that went inside Black-White Millstone in order to have a conversation with it.

The Black-White Millstone couldn’t speak because it was a substance of chaos. However, one could talk to it by spirit, and the speaker be at the level of a saint or immortal. Qingfeng Li didn’t reach the level yet, so he couldn’t talk to it. Only the Fire Dragon Soul could do it.

The Fire Dragon Soul’s expression was even more solemn after talking to Black-White Millstone.

“Qingfeng Li, I just talked to Black-White Millstone. It said that Hell Flower has some use to it too. It could make a concession, which is to split it three ways and each of us gets one,” Fire Dragon Soul said to Qingfeng Li.

Qingfeng Li was still a bit pissed after hearing the conversation. He got the Hell Flower, but he could only get one-third of the power now. No one would be happy about it.

Yet, Qingfeng Li knew that he had to agree to all these. It was because if he didn’t agree, the Black-White Millstone would directly consume all the Hell Flower. At the end, he would get nothing at all.

Qingfeng Li looked at Fire Dragon Soul and said, “Go tell Black-White Millstone that I can split Hell Flower into three ways and it can have one of them. However, he’ll have to help me if I encounter danger in Hell.”

Fire Dragon Soul nodded and conveyed Qingfeng Li’s words to Black-White Millstone.

Black-White Millstone nodded slightly in agreement. It accepted the proposal from Qingfeng Li and would certainly do something for Qingfeng Li in return.

Qingfeng Li split the Hell Flower into three parts: one part for himself, another for the Black-White Millstone, and the last part for the Fire Dragon.

FThe ire Dragon’s soul obtained a part of Hell Flower and he gave Qingfeng Li something in return as well. He told Qingfeng Li the way to refine Hell Flower, how to obtain the spirit energy most efficiently, as well as turning it into spiritual attack.

In the spiritual aspect, Fire Dragon Soul had absolute advantage because it was the soul of a dead ancient godly dragon.

After the distribution of the Hell Flower, Qingfeng Li didn’t delay anymore. He put the Hell Flower in his mouth and started to refine and absorb it.

Qingfeng Li used the way that the Fire Dragon Soul taught him to refine Hell Flower. As expected, the refining speed was way faster than when he refined other things in the past.

The Hell Flower would only be viable in Hell. It absorbed loads of ghosts, phantoms, and souls to form the spirit energy.

The interior of the flower seemed transparent but was not exactly transparent. It was composed of numerous souls of dead human beings and contained immense spirit energy.

Qingfeng Li’s spirit energy condensed into a black vortex, slowly absorbing the spirit energy from the Hell Flower and converted it into his own spirit energy.

Qingfeng Li’s spirit energy used to be black in color, then it turned into a blue color after a while. Now, it was changing towards a golden color.

Spirit energy was the same as human blood and spirit nuclei because they all had various colors, which represented various levels.

The change of color represented the increase of strength. The denser the color was, the more attack power there would be.

Qingfeng Li only refined one-third of Hell Flower, and his spirit energy in his mind turned to gold color.

The golden spirit energy kept on surging and writhing deeply within Qingfeng Li’s mind. It formed a spiritual windstorm that was similar to a tornado. Everywhere it travelled, the entire sky and earth trembled.

Qingfeng Li released the spirit energy in his mind directly. It formed into a spiritual wave of sharp cone, just like a gold whipping top, and drilled a huge hole on the stone wall in front of him.

Such a strong spiritual attack?

Qingfeng Li stood up and rejoiced. His spiritual attack before could only damage self-cultivator’s spirit but couldn’t damage physical objects.

For example, he couldn’t damage rocks, trees, or human body. However, it was a different story now. Qingfeng Li’s spirit energy reached the golden color, which was emperor level spirit energy. After he released his spiritual attack, he could even break the rocks.

Qingfeng Li believed that if he used Lion Roar again now, the power of the spiritual attack would be doubled. Even if he met the Black Demonic Rat King, he could kill it.

Qingfeng Li stood up, patting the dust off of his body and headed out of the cave.

Black Puppy was guarding at the entrance of the cave to stop self-cultivators or evil beasts from coming in and disturbing Qingfeng Li.

When Black Puppy heard the noises from the cave, it turned and looked behind.

Black Puppy could tell the difference in Qingfeng Li right away. A powerful aura radiated off from Qingfeng Li’s body.

Qingfeng Li’s eyes now contained golden lights when they moved. It was flashing a bright gold and contained powerful strength.

Black Puppy only looked at him once. It had to turn its head back and didn’t dare to look at it again. It was because the golden lights in Qingfeng Li’s eyes were too dazzling and gave it a headache.

“Qingfeng Li, your spirit energy broke into the emperor level?” Black Puppy frowned and said with confusion in his tone.

The cultivation of spirit energy was very difficult and had a very high demand for talent. Moreover, if one was careless, his or her brain would be divided and result in them becoming an idiot or even suffering brain death.

In Huaxia’s self-cultivation world, nearly no one’s spirit energy had reached the emperor level – at least Black Puppy never came across any.

In the ancient era, there might have been some with emperor level spirit energy, or even saint spirit energy. However, after the decline of Earth, many self-cultivation techniques disappeared, spiritual cultivation techniques were even scarcer, and there weren’t strong spiritual elixirs either. Hence, it was impossible for self-cultivators to get to emperor level spirit energy.

Yet, Qingfeng Li just did it now. He refined to emperor level spirit energy and shocked Black Puppy.

Qingfeng Li laughed and said, “Let’s go. Go find the Wolf Fang Team and then find the Saint-Perishing Fruit.”

Qingfeng Li led Black Puppy. They bumped into the Black Demonic Rat King when they left the cave.

The Black Demonic Rat King brought more than ten thousand black demonic rats and rushed towards Qingfeng Li.

The Black Demonic Rat King had a very sharp nose, like Black Puppy. It found this location by sniffing after the scent left behind by the Hell Flower.

Seeing the huge mass of black demonic rats standing in the front, Black Puppy panicked.

“Qingfeng Li, there are too many black demonic rats. Let’s leave here,” Black Puppy said to Qingfeng Li.

Yet, Qingfeng Li shook his head and said, “Doggy, don’t leave. I’m going to kill these black demonic rats.”

If it was the Qingfeng Li from before, he would run for sure when he saw more than ten thousand black demonic rats. However, his spirit energy reached the emperor level and he wasn’t afraid of these black demonic rats.

Deep within Qingfeng Li’s mind, the Black-White Millstone was trembling in excitement. It seemed like it wanted to engulf the spirit energy of these black demonic rats.

Chapter 1306: Killed Loads of Black Demonic Rats

 

“Human, I already sensed the smell of the Hell Flower on you. Hand it over,” the Black Demonic Rat King looked at Qingfeng Li and said coldly.

The Black Demonic Rat King had a very sharp nose, just like Black Puppy. It could sniff out the scent of the Hell Flower.

“Your nose is pretty sharp, but let me tell you what, the Hell Flower was refined by me already. You can’t get it,” Qingfeng Li smiled and said.

Even though Qingfeng Li was facing the Black Demonic Rat King with more than ten thousand black demonic rats behind it, he wasn’t afraid at all. It was because his spirit energy was at the emperor level and it was simple to deal with these black demonic rats.

“Human, since you’re not handing over the Hell Flower, I will kill you.” Black Demonic Rat King laughed with coldness in its eyes.

As the overlord of the first layer of Hell, the Black Demonic Rat King was very overbearing.

It waved its hand and ordered the black demonic rats beside him, “Thirty of you, use spiritual attacks to consume his soul!”

Thirty of the black demonic rats opened their mouths and screeched sharply to shoot sonic attacks at Qingfeng Li.

Qingfeng Li was calm and didn’t mind at all.

When those sonic attacks arrived at Qingfeng, he opened his mouth and released a Lion Roar, forming a lion-shaped sonic wave.

The sonic wave was gold in color and contained strong spiritual attack. It arrived in front of the thirty black demonic rats and consumed their spirit energy directly.

Peng peng peng peng peng peng…

The dozens of black demonic rats fell to the ground and died miserably.

The Black Demonic Rat King freaked out, horrified by the sight of the dozens of black demonic rats dying.

“Human, you actually cultivated to emperor level spirit energy,” the Black Demonic Rat King freaked out and said.

Well, even as the Black Demonic Rat King, its spirit energy wasn’t at the emperor level. It didn’t expect Qingfeng Li, a human, to have higher quality spirit energy than it.

Qingfeng Li laughed coldly and said, “Black Demonic Rat King, today is the day you die.”

“Earth Shattering Roar!” Qingfeng Li yelled and used the second roar of Lion Roar.

Golden lions appeared in a pair, their appearances making the sky break down and the earth crack. The pair of sonic lions rushed towards the black demonic rats like two scythes.

Puchi puchi puchi puchi…

Countless black demonic rats fell to the ground, their spirit energy eaten by the golden lions. In a short time, more than a hundred black demonic rats were killed.

At this rate, all the black demonic rats would die in half an hour because Qingfeng Li’s spirit energy was too strong to block.

“Qingfeng Li, human, how dare you kill my people? I’ll give it all I have to fight you!” the Black Demonic Rat King yelled and spat out a ray of black light aimed at Qingfeng Li.

The Black Demonic Rat King knew that its spiritual attack wouldn’t work against Qingfeng, so it used its superpower to attack.

The Black Demonic Rat King’s strength was already at the Half-Step Spirit Emperor Realm. Its attack was very powerful as it pierced through the air and formed a black hole.

Qingfeng Li was calm, not afraid of the Black Demonic Rat King’s attack.

“Fifth Fist Breaks Firmament!” Qingfeng Li said and used the fifth fist of the Strangle Hell Fist, which formed a heavenly giant fist.

The fist was extremely big; it covered up the skies, being more than a few hundred meters in size. It smashed towards the black light, breaking the ray into pieces, and disappeared.

The Hell Flower not only increased Qingfeng Li’s spirit energy, but also enhanced his physical body significantly.

Even when facing the Black Demonic Rat King, who was a Half-Step Spirit Emperor, Qingfeng Li could put up a good fight. His physical strength was extremely powerful at the moment and good enough to battle against the Black Demonic Rat King.

“This was your attack? If it’s only this tiny bit, you can just go die now..” Qingfeng Li sneered.

Qingfeng Li swung his fist and turned it into a huge iron fist. The iron fist contained immense power and ruthlessly smacked onto the Black Demonic Rat King’ body, causing its fur and skin to be torn apart and splashing blood everywhere.

Seeing the Black Demonic Rat King got injured, all the surrounded black demonic rats rushed forward continuously to stop Qingfeng Li.

Sou!

Black Puppy ran over, swinging its paw that turned into a huge mass of vital essence, and smacking those black demonic rats. In just one hit, dozens of black demonic rats were splattered, not even able to stop Black Puppy.

Qingfeng Li utilized the physical power of the Mortal Purgatory Body and defeated the Black Demonic Rat King.

Qingfeng Li believed that he would be able to kill the Black Demonic Rat King at any time.

Suddenly, Fire Dragon Soul sent a voice transmission to Qingfeng Li and said, “Hey Kiddo, the Black Demonic Rat King is the overlord of first layer of Hell. You can’t kill him.”

Qingfeng Li asked, “Senior Fire Dragon, why can’t I kill the Black Demonic Rat King?”

Fire Dragon Soul replied to Qingfeng telepathically, “Why are you killing it, Qingfeng Li? You can use your emperor level spirit energy to control the Black Demonic Rat King and make it help you find the treasures within first layer of Hell. It can also help you find the entrance to the second layer.”

After hearing Fire Dragon Soul’s words, Qingfeng Li was overjoyed. He was too focused on killing the Black Demonic Rat King and totally forgot this benefit.

Although killing the Black Demonic Rat King could ensure his safety, he obviously wouldn’t gain as much benefits as keeping it under control.

Qingfeng Li’s body turned into a lightning bolt and he arrived beside the Black Demonic Rat King instantly. He drew out the Fire Emperor Sword and put on its neck directly.

“I’ll give you one chance, Black Demonic Rat King. You can be my battle beast and I will spare your life,” Qingfeng Li threatened the Black Demonic Rat King.

The Black Demonic Rat King shook its head at Qingfeng Li’s ultimatum and said, “I’m the overlord of first layer of Hell. I won’t surrender to a human self-cultivator like you.”

This Black Demonic Rat King had plenty of backbone. It knew that it’s no match for Qingfeng Li and might be killed, but it wouldn’t surrender.

Qingfeng Li laughed coldly, swinging the Fire Emperor Sword in his hand and leaving a sword mark on the Black Demonic Rat King’s body. The flame sword energy burned the fur of the Black Demonic Rat King into ashes.

The Black Demonic Rat King screamed in pain. It couldn’t even withstand the flame sword energy because it was an attack from an emperor level spiritual device.

Even when the Black Demonic Rat King was screaming in pain, it still had its pride and didn’t want to submit to Qingfeng Li.

Qingfeng Li sighed. The Black Demonic Rat King must have some merits to be the king of more than ten thousand black demonic rats. The powerful strength was in one aspect, and the other would be the extreme pride of this demonic beast.

When Qingfeng Li tamed other demonic beasts and when they faced death, they surrendered. However, this Black Demonic Rat King wouldn’t surrender.

Chapter 1307: Taming Black Demonic Rat King

 

Qingfeng Li transmitted a message to the soul of the Fire Dragon in his mind, “Senior, what do you think I should do now?”

After a moment’s consideration, the soul of the Fire Dragon said, “As the king of the black demonic rats, it has its own pride and dignity. It won’t submit to you until you use the pressure of your dragon blood and suppress it.”

Qingfeng Li nodded with excitement. He almost forgot about his godly dragon aura.

Although the Fire Dragon had been a godly dragon during the ancient era, it couldn’t exert pressure with only a piece of its soul left. However, in Qingfeng Li’s body, there was a drop of ancient godly dragon blood.

The drop of blood was part of the physical strength of an ancient godly dragon and thus possessed a powerful godly beast aura.

Qingfeng Li channeled the dragon blood in his body and released a great godly dragon aura.

The powerful godly dragon aura formed an overwhelming pressure which engulfed the whole world.

A golden dragon shadow appeared above Qingfeng Li’s head. It was at least several hundred meters long, blocking the sunlight.

The skies of first layer of Hell had been completely dark, but it was now shinning with golden light.

The golden dragon was called the Thunder Dragon. As one of the most powerful godly dragons in nature, it possessed the power of thunder and lightning.

Under the golden dragon shadow, the Black Demonic Rat King knelt on the ground, shivering all over.

Although the Black Demonic Rat King was a powerful king among the demonic rats and was a conqueror on the first layer of Hell, it dared not try to resist the golden dragon shadow which possessed the power of thunder and lightning.

As the god of all beasts and one of the highest existences among demonic beasts, the golden dragon was the ultimate goal of the evolution of all demonic beasts.

Qingfeng Li released the godly beast presence as if he was the golden dragon coming back to alive. Not only the Black Demonic Rat King, but the over ten thousand black demonic rats behind it knelt on the ground as if they were revering a god.

“Black Demonic Rat King, I will give you the last chance. I have dragon blood in me. If you don’t submit to me, I will kill you and devour your soul and you won’t enter the next cycle of life.” Qingfeng Li said with strong murderous intent.

Faced with the godly dragon pressure and the golden dragon shadow above Qingfeng Li’s head, Black Demonic Rat King finally nodded, saying, “I give you my word.”

Relieved, Qingfeng Li was pleased that the Fire Dragon’s plan worked. He had easily made the Black Demonic Rat King submit to him by releasing his dragon blood presence.

“Black Demonic Rat King, present me with your soul mark,” Qingfeng Li said domineeringly.

The Black Demonic Rat King raised its head and a black mark shot out from its head. Formed by soul energy, it was a mini rat the size of a finger. It entered and stayed in the depths of Qingfeng Li’s mind.

In the depths of Qingfeng Li’s mind, there hovered a mini rat shadow. He could kill the rat shadow with his thought and the real Black Demonic Rat King would die at the same time.

Seeing Qingfeng Li tame the Black Demonic Rat King, Black Puppy walked over excitedly because it knew that, as the conqueror of the first layer of Hell, the Black Demonic Rat King had collected many treasures.

Just like the godly dragons, rats liked collecting treasures by nature.

“Qingfeng Li, you can ask the Black Demonic Rat King where it hides all its treasures. We will see if there is any treasure that can help you increase your power.” Black Puppy talked telepathetically to Qingfeng Li.

Qingfeng Li nodded and asked, “Black Demonic Rat King, show me to you treasure vault.”

A flash of reluctance appeared in the Black Demonic Rat King’s eyes. But it was now Qingfeng Li’s battle beast and must listen to him.

It led Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy into a cavern concealed under a river.

This place was well hidden, which showed the Black Demonic Rat King’s love for its treasures.

The cavern under the river was very big, with a width of 50 meters and a length of 1,000 meters. All kinds of treasures were piled there, such as spirit medicines, spirit fruits, vitality rocks, elixirs, and even spiritual devices, treasures, and talismans, etc.

Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy entered the cavern and saw countless spiritual treasures and even the air was filled with spirit presence.

The twinkling spiritual treasures were left by powerful self-cultivators and then were collected by the Black Demonic Rat King.

Qingfeng Li and Black Puppy exchanged a look and saw excitement in each other’s eyes.

Qingfeng Li walked forward and wanted to find some treasures that could help him make breakthroughs in his cultivation.

“This saber is a powerful king-grade ninth level spiritual treasure. It’s a pity that I don’t use sabers,” shaking his head, Qingfeng Li murmured.

He found a soft suit of armor that was also a king-grade treasure and was quite useful to him since he just needed a defensive treasure. The spiritual soft armor was as black as ink and on the surface of it was engraved a lively dragon.

Qingfeng Li put the soft armor on and found it quite fitting and comfortable. He lifted a king-grade ninth level sword and hacked it on the soft armor. The soft armor remained intact under the attack without even a scratch.

Even a king-grade ninth level spiritual treasure couldn’t harm the soft armor. Qingfeng Li was very satisfied with it.

Qingfeng Li continued forward and suddenly saw a head. The owner of the head was Yitian Shou, the young master of the Beast-Emperor Sect.

Qingfeng Li was startled at the sight of Yitian Shou’s head. He remembered that when he left the cave, Yitian Shou was fighting with Black Demonic Rat King. He hadn’t expected that Yitian Shou had died so pathetically with his head chopped off.

Qingfeng Li turned to look at Black Demonic Rat King and asked, “Did you kill Yitian Shou?”

Black Demonic Rat King nodded, saying, “Yes, I did.”

Speechless, Qingfeng Li twitched his mouth, thinking he had gotten one more trouble.

Yitian Shou was not an ordinary man but the son of the leader of Beast-Emperor Sect, an emperor-grade self-cultivation sect. The sect leader will hunt down the Black Demonic Rat King, who had killed his son.

But the Black Demonic Rat King was now Qingfeng Li’s battle beast and Qingfeng Li was responsible to protect it. Once the leader of Beast-Emperor Sect came for revenge, Qingfeng Li had to fight with him to protect the Black Demonic Rat King.
