Chapter 1807: Black Lumen Stone Weapon Store

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: I Love Mermaid

 

The Chief Commander took a swift step forward, standing protectively in front of Qingfeng Li. He exuded an energy that pierced the heavens.

Qingfeng Li stared at the Chief Commander in front of him in surprise. He hadn’t thought that the Chief Commander would choose to help him.

When he gave it some thought, however, Qingfeng Li understood. He had just made a spirit monarch realm elixir back in the elixir store, and even earned the veneration of Wuhen Di. The master alchemist had even knelt before him, begging to be made a disciple. The Chief Commander, having witnessed all of this, naturally knew how powerful Qingfeng Li was and wanted to curry his favor.

The Chief Commander glared at the White Hair Devil. “What do you think you’re doing?” he said, his voice cold. “This is Emerald Lake City, fighting is prohibited.”

“Qingfeng Li is my enemy,” the White Hair Devil replied. “I must kill him today.”

A flash of cold light danced across the Chief Commander’s eyes. He hadn’t expected this White Hair Devil to resist his command; that was a dumb thing to do.

Spirit monarch realm second class energy erupted from the Chief Commander, enveloping the White Hair Devil. Then, he abruptly kicked out with his right foot, landing the blow straight in the Devil’s gut. The White Hair Devil was sent flying back several hundred meters before crashing heavily into the ground.

He lay on the ground, spitting out a large spurt of blood. His face was deathly pale. He stared at the Chief Commander with eyes filled with fear. He hadn’t expected the other to be so strong. He couldn’t even withstand one kick from him.

The White Hair Devil’s pupils contracted as he spoke. “You are a master of the spirit monarch realm second class!”

The Chief Commander smiled humorlessly. “Good, now you know,” he said. “I’m the Chief Commander of Emerald Lake City. I am in charge of maintaining the City’s safety. If you dare to pick a fight again, I wouldn’t mind breaking one of your legs.”

With that, the Chief Commander turned to Qingfeng Li, smiling. “Are you happy with his punishment?” he asked.

Qingfeng Li nodded. “Thank you, Chief Commander. If there’s anything you need, feel free to tell me. I can make elixirs for you.”

Hearing Qingfeng Li’s words, the Chief Commander’s face lit up, his eyes filled with joy.

After Qingfeng Li parted ways with the Chief Commander, he returned to the inn. All his friends were gathered at his side. There were Mengyao Xu, Ya Yun, Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, and the Emperor of Lingyun. They stared at Qingfeng Li pleadingly. They knew full well how many elixirs Qingfeng Li had just received back at the elixir store.

Qingfeng Li gave them a smile, retrieving the elixirs from his interspatial ring, he said, “Take whatever you need.”

“Big Brother Li, you’re the best,” Mengyao Xu said, giggling. Her pretty face shone with excitement as she snatched up two beauty elixirs.

Qingfeng Li was speechless. “I meant for you to take some vital essence recovery and spirit energy recovery elixirs,” he said. “What are you taking the beauty elixirs for?”

Mengyao Xu’s ruby lips curled into a smile. “I don’t want the vital essence recovery and spirit energy recovery elixirs,” she said, laughing. “I want these two beauty elixirs. If my face gets wounded, I can eat these to recover so it won’t leave a scar.”

Beside her, Ya Yun, too, reached out and snatched up two beauty elixirs. Watching this, Qingfeng Li was at a loss for words. Women naturally cared about their appearance. No matter how badly wounded they were, their first instinct was to worry about their face.

Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake were taking no prisoners. They kept on snatching up elixirs; the pile was almost gone.

Qingfeng Li was furious. Lifting his foot, he gave each of them a kick, sending them flying. “Have some care for your image,” he said. “You can stop after you take a few. Are you trying to take everything?”

Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake each gave a dry laugh, backing away into the corner, embarrassed.

Qingfeng Li collected the remaining elixirs and put them back into his interspatial ring.

Beside him, the Sky Wolf Emperor spoke. “Qingfeng Li,” he said, “I think you should go choose a weapon.”

Qingfeng Li gave it some thought, then nodded. He agreed with the Sky Wolf Emperor. While he had the Fire Emperor Sword and Fire Supreme Sword, they were more suited for those in the Spirit Emperor and Supreme Realms.

Qingfeng Li’s power had grown to the half-step spirit monarch realm. The spiritual treasures he had used before were no longer suitable for him. He needed to choose a spirit monarch realm weapon that matched his power level.

With a wave, he said, “Let’s go. We can go check some of the Weapons Stores nearby. It’d be best if I can choose a weapon that suits me.”

The Emerald Lake City was very large. Countless stores lined either side of the street. There were all kinds of pharmacies, weapons stores, talisman stores, spiritual treasure stores, and spirit herb stores.

Qingfeng Li and the group looked around for a bit, then walked into a rather inconspicuous weapons store.

This weapon store wasn’t very big, just twenty square meters or so. It was situated at one of the most remote corners of the city. Compared to other weapon stores, one could say that this store had no selling point.

But just as Qingfeng Li had been about to pass this store, Dark Night Emperor voice-transmitted him to go in. He said that there were treasures inside.

Truth be told, if it were anyone else who had told Qingfeng Li that this store had treasures within, he definitely wouldn’t have believed them. The store was incredibly small. Compared to all of Emerald Lake City, it was positively miniscule.

But Qingfeng Li believed Dark Night Emperor without question. The other was the soul of an Ancient Saint with incredible spirit energy and senses. He would never lie to him.

As Qingfeng Li walked into the Black Lumen Stone Weapon Store, Mengyao Xu lifted a brow. “Big Brother Li,” she said from beside him. “Why did we come to this store. It’s tiny, and dirty, and crummy. What treasures could possibly be here?”

Remarkably, Ya Yun nodded from beside her. She agreed with what Mengyao Xu said; she felt that this store was terrible.

The Sky Wolf Emperor, Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, and the Emperor of Lingyun all agreed that this weapons store wasn’t great as well. If they had to choose a weapon, they would choose a large store. For example, the weapons store operated by the Lord of Emerald Lake City was nice, it even had spirit monarch realm weapons and spiritual treasures.

Qingfeng Li shook his head. “You guys don’t get it,” he said. “Sometimes, the greater the treasure, the more inconspicuous its hiding place.”

Inside the Black Lumen Stone Weapon Store, there weren’t even any attendants. There was only an old man. It was hard to tell his age, but he wore ragged clothing and his face was stained black. His hands were covered in callouses, which had been formed while making weapons. At the moment, the old man’s eyes were shut tight as he lay there, napping in his weapon store.

When Qingfeng Li and company entered the store, the old man didn’t stand up. He didn’t even greet them; they had been completely ignored.

The interior of the weapon store was incredibly messy. Oil stains covered the floor, giving off a stinging smell. On the counter were placed a dozen or more liquor bottles. On the walls, weapons were haphazardly hung, including blades, swords, staves, hammers, and bows.

However, these weapons were all flawed. Some were broken, others damaged. They were a far cry from the bright and well-sharpened weapons on display in other weapon stores.

Chapter 1808: Raggedy Shopkeeper

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: I Love Mermaid

 

Mengyao Xu raised a slender brow, somewhat displeased. Pretty girls like her couldn’t stand filthy environments. This tiny room, with grease all over the floor, was way too dirty for their liking.

Not only that, there was also a pungent smell in the air. Never mind Mengyao Xu and Ya Yun, even Black Puppy and Sky-Devouring Snake were bothered by the odor.

The only one to remain calm was Qingfeng Li. Seemingly unaffected, he surveyed the room closely.

Upon closer inspection, Qingfeng Li found that the grease stains on the ground weren’t really oil. Instead, they were the by-products of the weapon forging process, produced when impurities were turned into liquid form.

As for the pungent odor in the air, it wasn’t from any chemicals, but rather the gases released when high-purity black steel is melted at high temperatures. Qingfeng Li knew this because of the chemistry knowledge he had learned back on Earth.

Qingfeng Li released his spirit energy, sweeping it back and forth around the room. He found that the weapons on display were all very ordinary. They weren’t spirit monarch realm weapons at all; at most, they were Supreme Level weapons.

Although he didn’t sense the presence of a spirit monarch realm weapon here, Qingfeng Li still firmly believed in what the Dark Night Emperor had said. He knew the other would never fool around like this.

Qingfeng Li continued to extend his spirit energy, attempting to scan inside the back room. However, as his spirit energy approached the door, it was bounced away by a defensive force.

Qingfeng Li’s expression changed, surprise in his eyes.

By now, Qingfeng Li’s spirit energy was extremely powerful. Most spirit defensive arrays could not resist his spirit energy at all. He hadn’t expected to be bounced back here.

At that, Qingfeng Li activated the clairvoyance ability in his right eye. A beam of golden light shot from his pupil and penetrated the wall. He wanted to see inside the room, but to his surprise, all he could see was one big blur. He couldn’t really make out anything clearly.

Qingfeng Li’s Clairvoyant Vision was capable of seeing through even the void; there was nothing it couldn’t go through. He hadn’t thought that it would be slightly obstructed here. It was evident that there was some kind of secret hidden in the room, concealing some great treasure.

Walking up to the raggedy old man, Qingfeng Li bowed respectfully. “Your Junior, Qingfeng Li, humbly greets his Senior,” Qingfeng Li said. “I came, today, to purchase a weapon.”

The trashy old man stayed lying on his grey chair, fast asleep. He hadn’t heard Qingfeng Li at all, paying him no mind.

“Big Brother Li,” Ya Yun said, “let’s go. We can go to some other weapon store to buy some spirit monarch realm weapon. This place is filthy, what great weapons could they possibly have? And the shopkeeper even dared to ignore you.”

Qingfeng Li waved her off, saying, “It’s fine. I quite like this shop’s owner. I think fate brought me to him.”

A raggedy cotton blanket was lying loosely on top of the raggedy old man. It, too, was filthy, stained all over with grease and letting off a pungent odor. Then, the old man shifted slightly and his blanket fell to the ground.

Qingfeng Li hurried over. Picking the raggedy blanket off the floor, he laid it back on top of the old man. As he did this, his hands were stained by the grease, blackening the skin and staining it with the same pungent smell.

But Qingfeng Li didn’t seem to mind. He continued to speak in a low tone, “Senior, take care not to catch a cold. If you feel that I’ve intruded on your nap, I will leave now.”

Just as Qingfeng Li turned to leave, the raggedy old man opened his eyes. “Wait,” he said, his voice emotionless.

Qingfeng Li turned back to him. “What can I do for you?” he said, his tone respectful.

Qingfeng Li truly had a lot of respect for the raggedy old man before him. This was because, not only could he himself not discern the other’s strength, even Dark Night Emperor couldn’t tell how powerful this old man was. That realization had shocked Qingfeng Li.

And who was Dark Night Emperor? He was an Ancient Saint! Even if his body had been destroyed, the soul which remained was still extremely powerful.

If even the Dark Night Emperor couldn’t see through the old man, how powerful must he be? Qingfeng Li didn’t know. That’s why he treated him with such careful respect, bowing several times and even going as far as picking up his blanket.

The raggedy old man spoke, staring at Qingfeng Li. “My shoes, they’re in the corner. Bring them over and put them over for me.”

Hearing the old man’s words, the two women, Mengyao Xu and Ya Yun, were both outraged. This old man was so conceited. Who did he think Qingfeng Li was? How dare he order Qingfeng Li to put his shoes on for him?

Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, and the Emperor of Lingyun were likewise red with rage. As good friends of Qingfeng Li, they naturally didn’t want to see him being degraded like this.

Even Sky Wolf Emperor opened his mouth and said, “Qingfeng Li, let’s go. We can pick a weapon in any other store. There’s no need to stay here and endure such humiliation.”

Qingfeng Li, on the other hand, waved them all off. Motioning his friends to stay quiet, he walked over to the corner. It was a mess there, the grease smearing all over Qingfeng Li’s clothes, but he didn’t mind.

There, way back in the corner, were a pair of raggedy shoes. They had several holes in them and gave off a sickening smell, their surface covered in dust.

Not paying any mind to the filth and the smell, Qingfeng Li picked up the shoes. Returning to the raggedy old man’s side, he carefully slipped the shoes onto the old man’s feet. During the entire process, Qingfeng Li was extremely patient, not showing a trace of frustration.

All the while he worked, the raggedy old man gazed silently at Qingfeng Li. He had thought that Qingfeng Li would be angry and resentful. Instead, Qingfeng Li hadn’t voiced a word of complaint the whole time. He had acted like he was taking care of his own elderly family member.

Looking down at Qingfeng Li, the raggedy old man sighed. “Five thousand years,” he said, “and you’re the first one willing to help me put on my shoes.”

Hearing the old man’s words, Mengyao Xu and Ya Yun, were dumbfounded, their eyes filled with disbelief. Had this raggedy old man actually lived for five thousand years? Why else would he say that Qingfeng Li was the only one to put on his shoes in five thousand years?

Just who was this raggedy old man before them? Why couldn’t they see through him?

Sky Wolf Emperor felt his pupils contract, a hint of awe flashing across his eyes. It was as if he had just heard something incredible.

Sky Wolf Emperor knew that, ordinarily, self-cultivators could live to a thousand years old after breaking through to the spirit monarch realm. And every additional class past that added another millennium to their lifespans.

The old man before them had lived for at least five thousand years. That is to say, his power was at least at the spirit monarch realm fifth class.

Of course, this was only a guess on the Sky Wolf Emperor’s part. What’s more, he had the feeling that there was even more to the raggedy old man that just having lived for five thousand years.

The other’s voice had carried an aged quality. This was someone who had lived through great changes, who saw everything in the world as mere fleeting specks. The old man didn’t care about any of them. Only when Qingfeng Li had put on his raggedy shoes, had the old man looked at him, and spoken to him.

Qingfeng Li smiled. “It’s my honor to put your shoes on for you, Senior.”

Chapter 1809: Sky-Breaking Halberd

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: I Love Mermaid

 

The raggedy old man stared at Qingfeng Li with a hint of approval flashed briefly in his eyes. So quickly was it gone that on one had even noticed it, not even Qingfeng Li. This old man was far too powerful, and too mysterious, for anyone to sense his energy.

Smiling, the raggedy old man spoke, “You’re here to buy weapons, right?”

Qingfeng Li nodded.

“Yes,” he said, “I wish to buy a weapon. The demonic beast riot waves are coming, and I need a suitable weapon.”

The raggedy old man nodded.

“Wait a minute,” he said, “I’ll be right back.”

The raggedy old man stood up. Taking a step forward, he disappeared on the spot and appeared in the room at the back of the store. Inside, there was a hidden room, armed with many security measures. No one else could enter.

A moment later, the old man returned with a large halberd. The weapon was three meters long. It was black all over, but the material was difficult to discern. It seemed to have been forged from Black Crystal Steel, but at the same time, it resembled something forged from meteor stone.

The halberd’s handle was etched with all kinds of patterns, depicting beasts, plants, mountains, rivers, skies, clouds, and thunder. The head of the weapon was made in three segments, with two extremely sharp cutting edges.

The raggedy old man handed the halberd to Qingfeng Li. “This is the Sky-Breaking Halberd,” he said. “It’s the most prized treasure in this store. Five thousand years, it’s been, since it was last used… Now, I give it to you, free of charge. I hope you can use it to its full potential.”

Reaching out with his right hand, Qingfeng Li grasped the Sky-Breaking Halberd. Just as he took into his own hand, he felt a powerful force. Like a mountain, the halberd felt extremely heavy in his hand, so much so that his body nearly gave out under the weight. He fumbled to remain upright.

Qingfeng Li held the Sky-Breaking Halberd in both hands. Using every ounce of his strength, he activated his Mortal Purgatory Body, along with the Gold Dao Seed and the power of the Dragon Bone. Even then, he just barely managed to hold the Sky-Breaking Halberd up.

Qingfeng Li wore an expression of surprise, his eyes filled with disbelief. This Sky-Breaking Halberd was far too heavy. With Qingfeng Li’s current strength, he could smash through even a million-pound mountain. But now, he struggled to even keep a hold of this Sky-Breaking Halberd.

By his calculations, Qingfeng Li guessed that the Sky-Breaking Halberd weighed at least two million pounds. This was an absurd number, the equivalent of the weight of several mountains put together.

Only someone with a physique as strong as Qingfeng Li’s could hold such a weapon. If it were another in his place, they wouldn’t even be able to lift the halberd.

Most importantly, the Sky-Breaking Halberd appeared very inconspicuous. At a glance, it looked just like a normal halberd. No one would guess that it would be so heavy. It could definitely break bones if it hit a person, and a heavy blow might even reduce them to mincemeat.

The raggedy shopkeeper waved at him, saying, “You can leave. I hope that, in your hands, the Sky-Breaking Halberd can be used to its full power. One day, you will be proud of owning such a weapon.”

Qingfeng Li nodded. Bowing, he thanked the raggedy old man, then turned and left the store with his friends.

Beside him, Ya Yun asked, “Qingfeng Li, why didn’t you give him some vitality stones in exchange?”

Shaking his head, Qingfeng Li replied, “Lady Ya Yun, this is what you don’t understand. That Senior just now is a reclusive top-tier master. He wouldn’t care about any wealth, vitality stones or elixirs. He only wanted to find someone he liked, and I just happened to have been picked.”

The Sky Wolf Emperor nodded his agreement. He turned around, wanting to see the Black Lumen Stone Weapon Store again, but was struck by surprise. Behind him, the weapon store had disappeared.

Seeing the Sky Wolf Emperor’s surprise, Qingfeng Li also hurriedly turned and looked behind him, and saw that the Black Lumen Stone Weapon Store had indeed disappeared. Before them, was an empty space.

Qingfeng Li rubbed his eyes. “That’s impossible,” he said. “We just came out from that store. And the old man spoke to me. I sensed that he was a real person. It was definitely not an illusion.”

Using his spirit energy, Qingfeng Li sensed the space around them. He wanted to see if the raggedly old man had taken the weapon store and entered the void. However, he found nothing for his trouble.

Qingfeng Li, Mengyao Xu, Ya Yun, the Sky Wolf Emperor, Black Puppy, Sky-Devouring Snake, and the Emperor of Lingyun all stared in shock, as if they had just seen a ghost in broad daylight.

This was something they had never experienced before: right beside them, a weapon store had vanished without a warning. They hadn’t even felt anything.

With a thought, Qingfeng Li retrieved the Sky-Breaking Halberd from his interspatial ring. He felt its immense weight, nearly losing his grip.

“Qingfeng Li,” the Sky Wolf Emperor spoke, “your Sky-Breaking Halberd is still here. This means that everything we had just experienced was real. The raggedy old man must have been a top-tier master whose power is beyond our imagination. Appearing suddenly, then disappearing the same way, perhaps it was all in order to give the Sky-Breaking Halberd to you.”

Qingfeng Li nodded. “Perhaps,” he said. “Let’s hurry back to the inn. I need to figure out what kind of spiritual treasure this Sky-Breaking Halberd is. The demonic beast riot waves are coming, we have a lot of preparing to do.”

The group followed Qingfeng Li back to the inn, and Qingfeng Li returned to his room. Making sure the windows and doors were closed, he took out the Sky-Breaking Halberd and began swinging it around.

Because the Sky-Breaking Halberd weighed two million pounds, Qingfeng Li was exhausted after only a short while. Several times, he nearly failed to raise the halberd and almost fell onto the floor. It did, however, fall on his foot, leaving it stinging.

If it weren’t for Qingfeng Li’s skin being as tough as steel, his bones would have long since been broken. Even then, a bruise had formed, causing him great pain.

Struck by an idea, Qingfeng Li activated his spirit energy and closely examined the patterns on the Sky-Breaking Halberd. He wanted to see if there was some kind of hidden technique within them. But he found nothing, leaving him at a loss for words.

Was he going to be stuck using the Sky-Breaking Halberd as a heavy weapon?

Rumble, rumble, rumble…

Suddenly a series of thundering noises came from outside. The noises were loud, seeming to shake heaven and earth as they came from afar. The ground shook as if there was an earthquake. Even the space became unstable. It was like the end of the world.

All of the self-cultivators inside the inn came rushing out into the street. They stared off into the distance in confusion. There, they saw that the sky was covered in a thick blanket of black clouds and dust had been blown up from the ground. These were signs that a storm was coming.

Leading several hundred guards through the street on tall demon-horses, the Chief Commander of Emerald Lake City shouted, “All self-cultivators, go to the city walls! The demonic beast riot waves are coming. You must keep them at bay. Do not let them break into the city. Otherwise, everyone will die without question.”

Mengyao Xu, Ya Yun, and the others ran out from the inn as well. They gathered around Qingfeng Li, staring at the dark clouds in the sky in awe. They, too, sensed that these demonic beast riot waves were unusually powerful.

Chapter 1810: The Demonic Beast Riot Waves Are Coming

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

 

“The demonic beast riot waves are coming. Climb on to the city walls for defense, everybody. Don’t let them cross into Emerald Lake City.”

“Come on everybody. We must work together. The demonic beast riot wave is our common enemy. We need to kill the invaders.”

“I will go to the east city wall. Bro, you go to the west side.”

The voices of self-cultivators filled up the streets. Then masses of people ran towards the east, west, south, and north city walls, stood on them, and watched the horizon.

Mengyao Xu asked, “Big Brother Li, which direction should we go?”

Qingfeng Li swept his eyes over and said, “Let’s go to the east city wall.”

Following Qingfeng Li’s lead, his people followed him to the east city wall which was very high. It was over a hundred feet tall with broad ramparts for people to stand on.

When he climbed on the wall, Qingfeng Li used his clairvoyance to look into the distance. He saw smoke and dust rolling on the horizon and countless demonic beasts approaching.

The coming demonic beasts were numerous, numbering over a hundred thousand at least. Moreover, there were many varieties, such as lion-like ones, tiger-like ones, wolf-like ones, snake-like ones, eagle ones, and even some elephant and alligator demonic beasts.

All of them roared out mercilessly. Their eyes were red as blood as if they had just seen some delicious food and their speed was as fast as a hurricane. They kept running towards the city and arrived by the foot of the city walls in the blink of an eye.

On top of the platforms of the city walls, there were many archers who served as guards of the main hall in the city. Their bows and arrows were not any old weapons, but ninth level supreme class spiritual artifacts.

A middle-aged man oversaw the eastern city wall. He was sturdy and about two meters tall. He had a dark, rugged face with coarse features, his eyebrows were big and thick, and his whole body radiated swift and fierce energies which could reach the clouds in the sky.

This middle-aged guy’s name was Ya Lin, the vice lord of the city and a well-known master of the Emerald Lake City. He was at the pinnacle tier of the second level spirit of the Monarch realm, which was slightly higher than the chief commander’s strength and only a tad lower than the lord of the city.

There were three people standing next to Ya Lin; the White Hair Devil, the Emperor of Green Leaf, and the Emperor of the Glacier Country.

Qingfeng Li furrowed his eyebrows and revealed a streak of coldness in his eyes. The White Hair Devil, the Emperor of Green Leaf, and the Glacier Country Emperor were all his enemies. He didn’t expect them to gather together and stand next to the vice lord, Ya Lin. He was surprised.

While Qingfeng Li saw the White Hair Devil and the others, the White Hair Devil also spotted Qingfeng Li.

The White Hair Devil walked beside Ya Lin and said respectfully, “Sir Ya Lin, Qingfeng Li has valuable treasures on him. We can let him contribute his Golden Flame to fight the demonic beast riot waves for us.”

Ya Lin nodded and looked at Qingfeng Li. “You, come here. Let me ask you something.”

“Shu…”

Hundreds of self-cultivators on the city walls moved their sights to Qingfeng Li.

Qingfeng Li walked closer and with a gloomy face, he asked, “Sir Vice Lord, what can I help with?”

“I heard that you have the Golden Flames. That is the saint level flames and is the best way to deal with the demonic beast riot waves. Take out your Golden Flame and go kill the demonic beast riot waves below,” said Ya Lin loftily.

Hearing what Ya Lin said, Qingfeng Li’s face dropped and a strip of anger grew in his eyes. He did have the Golden Flame, but he could only use them three times. He saved them for dealing with stronger enemies but not these average demonic beasts.

Moreover, this vice lord used his bossy tone to ask Qingfeng Li to jump from the city wall. It was clearly a suicide mission. There was no doubt this was the doing of the White Hair Devil.

Qingfeng Li gave the White Hair Devil a cold look and said to Ya Lin, “Sir, my apology, if I go down by myself, I would be besieged by those demonic beasts. I need someone to come with me. Please let the White Hair Devil accompany me.”

The White Hair Devil did not expect this. He did not think that Qingfeng Li would drag him down as well. What now? The reason why he recommended Qingfeng Li was because he wanted him to die. However, he didn’t know that it would push himself to the edge of the cliff instead.

Standing there, the vice city lord found it difficult to decide. He didn’t know that Qingfeng Li would require something like this.

If he did not approve, the self-cultivators who were watching him, suspecting him of setting Qingfeng Li up, would be given a negative impression. On the other hand, if he did approve, the White Hair Devil would no doubt to be in danger.

At this moment, the Emperor of Green Leaf and the Emperor of the Glacier country spoke simultaneously, “Sir Ya Lin, no need to worry, we will come along with the White Hair Devil. If we don’t go into the depths of the demonic beast riot waves, we should be fine.”

The vice lord’s face lit up slightly. “Okay. You go down there and kill those demonic beasts. I will cover you from here. If danger appears, I will join you and help.”

The White Hair Devil, the Emperor of the Country of the Green Leaf, and the Glacier Country Emperor exchanged glances with each other and saw the coldness in each other’s eyes. They fancied the ultimate treasures on Qingfeng Li and wanted to kill him in the demonic beast wave, thus they had agreed to go down and help.

Qingfeng knew that they were hostile, but he wasn’t worried. He had broken through to the half-step spirit monarch realm, so he was not afraid of them.

Mengyao Xu, Ya Yun, and the Sky Wolf Emperor also asked to follow Qingfeng Li into the battle.

Qingfeng Li waved his hand and said, “Don’t go down there. You will only hinder me. I can barely take care of myself.”

After he finished talking, Qingfeng Li stamped on the ground hard and rose to the sky. He then turned to a streak of lightning, jumped off the hundred-foot-high city wall, and landed on the ground heavily.

Qingfeng Li’s feet made two big holes in the ground. They were at least over ten feet deep. Trees and crushed rocks within over ten miles all fell into the holes.

The second Qingfeng Li jumped over the city wall, a giant lion type demonic beast rushed upon him. The demonic beast had two heads and its whole body was covered with golden fur. It was a strong demonic beast at the pinnacle tier of the ninth level of the supreme realm with extremely powerful strength. But unfortunately, it met Qingfeng Li

Qingfeng Li did not make a move. Instead, he opened his mouth to roar out a beam of golden energy. That golden light flashed and traveled through the golden lion’s head, splattering blood out as the giant lion fell to the ground, dead.

The White Hair Devil was still on the city wall. The three of them were stunned and felt Qingfeng Li’s powerful strength, which was much stronger than it was before.

Could Qingfeng Li have already broken through to the half-step spirit monarch realm? Having thought of this possibility, the White Hair Devil and the other two immediately became worried.

White Hair Devil said to the Emperor of the Green Leaf Country, “Do not hesitate. Let us go down and ambush Qingfeng Li from behind. Let’s kill him and let him die in the demonic beast wave. We are his enemies after all.”

The White Hair Devil, the Emperor of the Country of the Green Leaf, and the Emperor of the Glacier Country jumped from the city wall and followed behind Qingfeng Li.

Chapter 1811: The Demonic Sky Elephant

Translator: Noodletown Translated Editor: Noodletown Translated

 

Qingfeng Li had just killed a lion type demonic beast a second ago but more demonic beasts from the back started running towards him to avenge their fallen comrade. There were over ten of them.

Qingfeng Li paid no attention to them at all. He activated his Mortal Purgatory Body and threw his right fist out rapidly. His punch was bright and dazzling, exploding out with vital essence at the approaching demonic beasts.

These demonic beasts did not fear death. Their eyes were blood red, for the splashing blood and flesh had irritated them even more. Another dozen demonic beasts ran towards Qingfeng Li with tremendous fury.

Qingfeng Li continued to throw punches. His Strangle Hell Fist was extremely powerful, as he killed a few dozens of demonic beasts every time he punched out. A few thousands of demonic beasts were killed within a short while.

The White Hair Devil, the Emperor of the Green Leaf country, and the Emperor of the Glacier country’s faces changed seeing Qingfeng Li’s moves. They planned to sneak attack him but had yet found the opportunity.

Qingfeng Li was very cautious. Although he was fighting the demonic beasts in the front, he was also paying attention to the White Hair Devil.

“Ooooowhooo”

Suddenly a howling sound erupted from the back, and it was so loud that it even cracked the sky. A giant demonic sky elephant stomped over.

The demonic sky elephant was extremely big, being over a hundred feet, as high as the city wall.

It had four awfully thick legs and every leg was as big as a mountain top. Its whole body radiated a sky-quaking imposing manner and every step it made could cave in the ground.

Qingfeng Li’s pupils shrank as he thought, “A half-step spirit monarch realm demonic beast? You finally showed up.”

The demonic sky elephant was so big that Qingfeng Li felt like he was just an ant in front of it.

The demonic sky elephant looked at Qingfeng Li and said coldly, “You damn human. You killed hundreds of our fellows. Today, I will eat you.”

The demonic sky elephant raised its massive right foot and stomped forward ferociously towards Qingfeng Li. Its right foot was like a huge mountain top and it broke the void the moment it showed up.

Qingfeng Li swung out his right fist and smashed forward fiercely, colliding with the demonic sky elephant’s right foot and creating a sky-quaking noise.

Both Qingfeng Li and the demonic sky elephant were pushed back a step. Qingfeng Li was surprised and thought,* This demonic sky elephant’s strength is so high that it could actually match my fist.*

The demonic sky elephant was much more shocked, “My strength is the strongest among all the half-step spirit monarch realm demonic beasts, and yet you blocked it. What cultivation techniques have you practiced?”

At this moment, Qingfeng Li and the demonic sky elephant were extra cautious because they knew that they had met a formidable opponent with extremely strong abilities. Their hearts were alarmed.

The demonic sky elephant continued trampling its feet towards Qingfeng Li, trying to pound him into a meat patty.

Qingfeng Li threw his right fist out without stopping. His fists clashed with the demonic sky elephant’s feet and created sky-quaking shockwaves. The void space around them exploded and many holes were made into the ground.

Some lower level demonic beasts were pushed back by the force and were scared to come closer. They gave Qingfeng Li and the demonic sky elephant a wide area to fight their battle in.

Qingfeng Li and the demonic sky elephant had fought over a hundred rounds but were still tied. The demonic sky elephant had extremely strong defensive abilities, for its strength was too powerful and its skin too rough and thick. Qingfeng Li had already consumed one-third of his vital essence.

He understood that he could not keep fighting like this because he was on his own but there were a hundred thousand demonic beasts behind the demonic sky elephant. Moreover, there were many powerful half-step spirit monarch realm and spirit monarch realm demonic beasts blended in the crowds.

Once they appeared and chased Qingfeng Li, he would die without any doubt.

Qingfeng Li decided to fight fast and kill the demonic sky elephant quickly. It seemed like he had to use his weapon. Let me see how fierce the Sky-Breaking Halberd that the raggedy old man gave me really is, Qingfeng Li thought.

He directly took out the Sky-Breaking Halberd from his interspatial ring. The second Qingfeng Li held the Halberd, he sensed a strong energy coming through like a mountain, which made the veins pop up on his right hand. It was a real strain.

The demonic sky elephant waved its foot again and it became a few hundred feet bigger. It then charged ruthlessly towards Qingfeng Li.

Qingfeng Li did not use his fist this time. Instead, he swiped the tremendously powerful Sky-Breaking Halberd and smashed violently into the demonic sky elephant’s foot. The demonic sky elephant’s body was blasted back several steps.

“Deng…!”

The demonic sky elephant only managed to find its balance after four or five steps back and looked at Qingfeng Li with astonishment. During its battle with Qingfeng Li up to this point they were evenly matched, and the demonic sky elephant had not been pushed this far back.

How come after Qingfeng Li took out his weapon, the demonic beast was immediately pushed back? What kind of weapon was that? Why did it have such overwhelming energy, like it was an indominable mountain? That weapon was invincible!

The demonic sky elephant snarled, “I don’t believe that your weapon s enough to help you defeat me.”

The demonic sky elephant opened its mouth and burst out with a fuming howl. It lashed its trunk towards Qingfeng Li’s body.

Qingfeng Li did not mind at all. He summoned the vital essence from his body and transferred it to the Sky-Breaking Halberd. Then he raised the Halberd to the sky and drew an arc. The Halberd collided with the demonic sky elephant’s nose and let out a burst of resounding noise.

“Ka cha!”

People heard the riotous noise and saw that the demonic sky elephant’s nose had been broken by Qingfeng Li’s Sky-Breaking Halberd.

“Holy f**k it hurts!” The demonic sky elephant burst out an anguishing scream.

The demonic sky elephant felt its broken nose, which was bleeding vigourously and hanging limply. The Sky-Breaking Halberd released one hundred thousand kilograms of force and the demonic sky elephant found that it was incapable of blocking. It regretted its actions dearly.

If it had only known, the demonic sky elephant would not have used its elephant nose to attack Qingfeng Li. Those who looked for trouble would eventually find it.

The Sky-Breaking Halberd made a small still noise, sparked with some black seal scripts, and gained more strength. Blood splattered on the halberd after the demonic sky elephant’s nose was injured.

Meanwhile, a mysterious sign appeared in front of Qingfeng Li. It was a mnemonic chant called the “Six Techniques of the Sky Halberd”.

It had six techniques but now only the first was revealed, “Strength Breaks the World”.

Qingfeng Li used his clairvoyance ability to memorize the routes and the techniques of the Strength Breaks the World skill.

His comprehension ability and memory was outstanding. Therefore, he managed to learn the techniques fully within moments.

Qingfeng Li felt the strangely powerful first technique “Strength Breaks the World” and was deeply astonished.

Chapter 1812: The Sky-Breaking Halberd Techniques

Qingfeng Li thought that if he used “Strength Breaks the World”, he would certainly be able to defeat the demonic sky elephant.

The demonic sky elephant did not know that Qingfeng Li had learned the first of the Six Techniques of the Sky Halberd yet, so it stomped its giant foot towards Qingfeng Li with ferocious strength.

Qingfeng Li looked at the demonic sky elephant’s huge foot calmly. He wasn’t worried at all, for he had just learned the first technique of the Six Techniques of the Sky Halberd, “Strength Breaks the World”. This move was extremely deadly.

Qingfeng Li’s attack contained at least 1,250,000 kilograms of force, which could shatter a mountain.

Qingfeng Li shouted in a low voice and summoned the vital essence from his body and transferred it to the Sky-Breaking Halberd. Then, he raised the halberd to the sky and drew an arc in the sky. The halberd was as fast as lightning, traveling through and ripping open the sky as it landed on the demonic sky elephant’s foot brutally.

“Katcha!”

The demonic sky elephant’s foot was smashed with an explosive noise, revealing its bones and splattering out bright red blood. The bones were eerie and whoever saw them would tremble in fear.

The demonic sky elephant screamed miserably and shouted angrily, “My foot is broken! Damn it! What technique did you use with your halberd and why is it so destructive?”

Qingfeng Li scoffed in disdain, “This is the Six Techniques of the Sky Halberd, though knowing the name won’t help much since today will be your last.”

Seeing the strength of the “Strength Breaks the World”, Qingfeng Li was thrilled.

Qingfeng Li stomped his foot against the ground and rose up to the sky. He swung his Sky-Breaking Halberd and drew an arc in a sky again towards the demonic sky elephant’s body. The Halberd hit the sky elephant demon’s other three legs.

“Katcha, katcha, katcha.”

The other three legs of demonic sky elephant were broken by Qingfeng Li, accompanied by three deafening sounds.

“Ping!”

The demonic sky elephant’s giant body fell to the ground, as blood splattered everywhere. Some demonic beasts near it were crushed by its enormous body.

The demonic sky elephant was in deep pain as it rolled on the ground. All four of its feet were broken. Bones were sticking out and blood was gushing through, making it groan desperately.

“Goddamn human. I will kill you,” the demonic sky elephant shouted madly and spat out a demonic pill.

The demonic pill was very huge, as big as a small hill. Qingfeng Li was quite surprised because he had never seen a demonic pill this big. Only the enormous demonic sky elephant could have it.

The demonic sky elephant’s demonic pill was white. As soon as it came out, it radiated a streak of piercingly icy cold power.

The demonic sky elephant shouted with rage, “Freeze.”

A giant ice cube was formed in the sky and quickly moved to Qingfeng Li and froze his body.

Although Qingfeng Li was frozen in the ice, he was not scared at all. Instead, he was confused because he did not expect the demonic sky elephant to know ice element cultivation techniques. Its demonic pill power could even freeze people.

On the city wall, Mengyao Xu was extremely worried seeing that Qingfeng Li was frozen. She tried to jump off the wall and help Qingfeng Li but was caught at the bottom of her pants by Black Puppy’s paw.

Black Puppy said, “Don’t worry. Qingfeng Li has his way to get out. He did this on purpose.”

Mengyao Xu asked, “Big Brother Li, what’s the meaning of this?”

Ya Yun glanced at Mengyao Xu, “You will only mess up if you are worried. Don’t you remember that Qingfeng Li has the White Hair Devil, Green Leaf Country Emperor, and Glacier Country Emperor at his back. They are planning to kill Big Brother Li, so he is trying to trick them and kill them.”

Under the city wall, Qingfeng Li had let the demonic sky elephant freeze him on purpose, as Ya Yun had said, to trick the three schemers because he felt that those three were harboring malicious intentions.

As expected, seeing Qingfeng Li was frozen, the White Hair Devil and the two emperors were delighted. They made eye contact with each other, signaling that their chance had come.

Especially the White Hair Devil, he was immersed in excitement. He tried to touch his white hair only to reach his scalp. His joy suddenly faded, and his face went cold.

The White Hair Devil said viciously, “Damn you Qingfeng Li. You didn’t know that this day would come, did you.”

The Emperor of the Green Leaf Country on the side said, “Let’s go and kill him.”

The White Hair Devil nodded. “I’ll go first. I loathe him deeply and will definitely mutilate his body.”

The White Hair Devil took a long sword and transformed into a streak of lightning. He quickly rushed to Qingfeng Li’s back and slashed his sword at Qingfeng Li’s heart.

Countless self-cultivators on the city wall were infuriated. They did not expect to see this. Qingfeng Li had been helping the people protect Emerald Lake City by fighting the demonic sky elephant and stopping the demonic beast waves from coming into the city.

However, this White Hair Devil bastard was ambushing Qingfeng Li. Many self-cultivators cursed at the White Hair Devil, especially the chief commander, whose face dropped.

Although the chief commander was at the south part of the city wall instead of the east part. He still saw the situation well enough.

The chief commander scolded to himself, “Damn White Hair Devil. I knew you were not trustworthy. I should have killed you when I had the chance.”

But the chief commander was still too far from the east city wall and could not intervene fast enough. He could only sit there and watch.

The vice lord on the east city wall calmly looked at the White Hair Devil, who was backstabbing Qingfeng Li. Everything went as he expected.

He had an agreement with the White Hair Devil to let the White Hair Devil kill Qingfeng Li. In return, the White Hair Devil would take the saint level golden flames from Qingfeng Li’s body and give them to him. They both got what they wanted. Sometimes humans were more vicious than those demonic beasts.

Qingfeng Li scoffed. He felt the sneak attack by the White Hair Devil from the back and thought, I have been waiting for you. If you hadn’t tried to ambush me, I would not have had the chance to deal with you.

“Break!”

Qingfeng Li shouted and started channeling the Monarch Law that he gained insight in. He put his right hand into the void and formed a sky wolf law. Then he cracked the ice chunk surrounding his body, shook it off, and let it crumble to pieces.

Qingfeng Li’s body was suddenly free. At the same time, the White Hair Devil’s sword came towards him.

Qingfeng Li did not hesitate in the slightest, only swinging his Sky-Breaking Halberd and drawing an arc to his back. The halberd blocked the White Hair Devil’s long sword with so much force that it bent the sword.

The White Hair Devil was stunned. “How is that possible? You thawed the ice so fast and your halberd is even stronger than my sword .”
