In a flash, Su Lang stomped down on the ground at the peak of the moutain. His body soared into the sky and seemingly blinked away from his initially spot.
From a distance away, a dark line shot through the air and landed directly in front of the Rainbow Jade Red Fox.
*Squeak! Shriek!*
The Rainbow Jade Red Fox suddenly felt a terrifying sense of danger envelop its entire body. As its fur instantly stood on its end, it instinctively wanted to move and dodge the incoming attack.
Despite its accurate intuition, the Rainbow Jade Red Fox did not have any chances of dodging in the face of Su Lang's movements comparable to that of a Martial Emperor.
"Soul Chasing Sword Art: Devour!"
Flashing before the Rainbow Jade Red Fox's eyes, Su Lang's longsword instantly penetrated through its forehead.
*Shriek!*
The fox's eyes shrank in the size of an atom as it let out a miserable cry of pain and despair.
*Crash!*
In the next instant, a violent bolt of lightning shot out from the blade and incinerated its brain into a pile of charcoal!
The Rainbow Jade Red Fox's entire body stiffened into a steel rod as its enormous body rapidly shrunk like a deflating balloon, finally turning back into its original size of a few dozen meters.
From the perspective of the martial cultivators watching from the city walls, it looked as if the Rainbow Jade Red Fox had vanished into thin air.
At that moment, every single cultivator who witnessed the absurd scene stood petrified in shock!
CHAPTER 97 - THE DEATH OF THE CRYSTAL-SCALED GREEN SNAKE
At that moment, everyone burst with excitement and erupted into a heated discussion.
"Oh my God! Did you see that? What the hell happened over there?"
"If my eyes did not fail me, the five C-class Vicious Beasts suddenly went berserk and attacked the peak of that mountain. Suddenly, that giant red fox rapidly shrank before disappearing!"
"It must have been killed! When those C-class Vicious Beasts that attacked the city died during the previous Vicious Beast Tide, the same thing happened to them!"
"That gigantic Vicious Beast actually died in such a baffling manner?!"
"What did you mean by the word, 'baffling?' Some sort of expert must be fighting against them right now!"
"Powerful cultivators are here to protect our Red Maple City? That's great!"
"......"
The large number of martial cultivators discussed animatedly like a pot of boiling oil.
At the top of the city walls, Yin Zhou and the other two gasped into shock and excitement as they too fell into a discussion.
"I never expected Lord Su Lang to kill a C-class Vicious Beast so easily! He must be some sort of beast himself!"
"As expected of a Martial Emperor. It seems that he's really powerful enough to fight back against those five terrifying Vicious Beasts!"
"How could one achieve such strength? Fighting against those Vicious Beasts is even more difficult than taking the head of an enemy general leading an army of a thousand!"
"Our Red Maple City really is fortunate to have Lord Su Lang protecting us!"
Right at this moment, an even more shocking scene happened.
"Everyone, look! The Ancient Mammoth is also shrinking! It has been killed as well!"
"Not only the Ancient Mammoth, but also the Demonic Nether Wolf! They're both rapidly shrinking!"
"What the hell?! Look of there! The Bloodthirsty Golden Tiger is fleeing from battle! Heavens, it stopped moving and is actually shrinking instead! It's dead!"
"Just what kind of expert possess the strength to instantly kill those four C-class Vicious Beasts?"
"That is something out of this world! Even my heart is trembling!"
"......"
The countless martial cultivators stared in the direction of Su Lang's battle with eyes filled with admiration and respect.
At this point, Yin Zhou and the other two had already turned into stone statues as they watched the battle in disbelief.
Only after a while did they regain their composure as they came to accept the shocking reality.
"I never expected Lord Su Lang to be this powerful!"
"And to think that we actually want to help Lord Su Lang! Now that I think about it, that sounds quite ridiculous!"
"With Lord Su Lang's overwhelming strength, we can not only successfully defend Red Maple City but also completely destroy the Vicious Beast Tide!"
"That's right! As long as we destroy the Vicious Beast Tide, the city will not have to face another one until 50 to 60 years later!"
"Quick, we should command the groups of martial cultivators ourselves. We must do whatever it takes to defend the city wall!"
"Yes, sir!"
"......"
Just as the city burst with the utmost excitement, Su Lang also found himself in a rather good mood.
After all, he had just obtained the materials of four C-class Vicious Beasts worth millions of gold coins!
That's right, the C-class Vicious Beasts were worth this much.
*Roar!*
With a fierce roar, the Crystal-scaled Green Snake surrounded itself in a dense layer of flames and charged towards Su Lang.
"Tch!"
Su Lang curled his lips in disdain. "Now, it's finally your turn!"
During his previous attacks against the other C-class Vicious Beasts earlier, the Crystal-scaled Green Snake had sneakily launched its attacks here and there to catch Su Lang off his guard.
But since Su Lang's movement level had reached that of the Advanced Martial King Realm, he ended up toying around with the snake's cunning attacks the entire time.
*Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!*
In the blink of an eye, the Crystal-scaled Green Snake rushed in front of Su Lang and blasted out its Green Lotus Dragon Flame that seemed capable of devouring heaven and earth.
"Soul Chasing Sword Arts: Pierce!"
With a flick of his wrist, a surge of lightning struck down from the sky onto Su Lang's sword as it shot towards the snake's green flames.
*Boom! Pwshhh!*
As the endless bolts of lightning collided against the Green Lotus Dragon Flame, a series of explosions reveberated as shockwaves through the atmosphere.
However, Su Lang's lightning bolts were much weaker than the blast of Green Lotus Dragon Flame.
Within the next second, the violet bolts had been completely devoured by the green flames.
At that moment...
Utilizing the explosions as a distraction, Su Lang snuck close to the Crystal-scaled Green Snake and landed a powerful slash onto its neck.
*Crack!*
An excruciating sound resounded through the air as large numbers of crystalline scales, dyed scarlet-red with the snake's blood, flew in all directions.
With that, an enormous sword wound could be seen sliced across the neck of the Crystal-scaled Green Snake.
*Shriek!*
The giant snake shrieked in agonizing pain as it turned its head and opened its mouth the size of a lake, biting down fiercely.
At the same time, the burst of Green Lotus Dragon Flame flooded ruthlessly in Su Lang's direction.
"Thunder!"
With a turn of his body, Su Lang dodged the snake's bloody jaws and shot out a large bolt of lightning.
Albeit powerful in its own right, the lightning did not stand a chance as it was quickly devoured by the Green Lotus Dragon Flame once again.
But at this time, Su Lang found the opportunity to sneak in another attack.
"Soul Chasing Sword Art: Devour!"
Gripping tightly on the longsword in his hand, Su Lang stabbed it into the open wound on the neck of the Crystal-scaled Green Snake.
This time, there were no tough scales standing in the way of his attack.
As the longsword enveloped itself in a thick layer of lightning, it pierced out directly from the other side of the snake's neck like a hot knife stabbing through
butter!
*Shriek! Roar...*
As the Crystal-scaled Green Snake let out a shriek, followed by a weak roar, the Green Lotus Dragon Flame enveloping its entire body also started to dissipate.
In the next moment, its enormous body turned limp as it collapsed helplessly on the cold, hard ground.
CHAPTER 98 - CELEBRATION OF VICTORY
"We've won!"
"We've successfully defended Red Maple City!"
"Hell yeah! We can live in peace for several decades now!"
"......"
Across the top of the city walls, the martial cultivators who witnessed the death of the Crystal-scaled Green Snake burst into cries of excitement.
Yin Zhou and the other two erupted into a series of cheers as they roar aloud into the sky.
On Su Lang's end.
After confirming the death of the Crystal-scaled Green Snake, its body began to shrink back into its original size at a speed visible to the naked eye.
By the time its body reverted back to its normal size, it suddenly disappeared from where it collapsed.
[Ding! You have obtained the Green Lotus Dragon Flame, the Horn of the Crystal-scaled Green Snake, the Eye of the Crystal-scaled Green Snake x 2, the Poisonous Fangs of the Crystal-scaled Green Snake x 2, the Scales of the Crystal-scaled Green Snake x 366...]
[Ding! Detected the Heavenly Flame: Green Lotus Dragon Flame. Does the Host wish to refine it?]
"What the hell?!"
Su Lang shouted with his mouth wide-open in pleasant surprise.
He didn't think the system could actually help him refine the Heavenly Flame!
This is amazing!
"System, immediately refine the Green Lotus Dragon Flame!"
Su Lang made a prompt decision and immediately gave the order.
[Ding! Commencing the refinement of the Green Lotus Dragon Flame. Remaining time: 24 hours.]
As the system notification rang out, the Green Lotus Dragon Flame stored in the Storage Space immediately disappeared.
"How convenient!"
Su Lang erupted in exhiliration. "I can never get bored of this feeling!"
Normally, it was almost impossible for other humans to refine the Heavenly Flame, for they might lose their life if they were not careful enough.
On the contrary, Su Lang only needed to wait 24 hours to refine the Green Lotus Dragon Flame. Not only did he not have to do anything whatsoever, but it also did not bring along any risks to his life. How could he possibly not be happy with such a result?
Suddenly, Su Lang remembered that he still had the five million gold coins he received from the Ye Family.
Five million gold coins.... How much can I level up the system functions with these?!
"System, store all the gold coins and spirit stones into my balance!"
Su Lang said excitedly, "Then upgrade the system functions until I run out of gold coins to do so!"
[Ding! All the gold coins and spirit stones have been stored!]
[Ding! Consuming 1,000,000 gold coins. One-click Cultivation Function has been upgraded to Level 6. Cultivation speed has increased to 64 times the base speed!]
[Ding! Consuming 1,000,000 gold coins. One-click Martial Arts Function has been upgraded to Level 6. The speed at which cultivation techniques are learned has increased to 32 times the base speed!]
[Ding! Consuming 100,000 gold coins. One-click Treasure Hunting Function has been upgraded to Level 4. The number of Treasure-hunting Flying Shrews has increased to a total of 16!]
[Ding! Consuming 1,000,000 gold coins. One-click Treasure Hunting Function has been upgraded to Level 5. The number of Treasure-hunting Flying Shrews has increased to a total of 32!]
[Ding! Congratulations on upgrading the One-click Treasure Hunting Function to Level 5. The efficiency and durability of the Treasure-hunting Flying Shrews have increased by two times the base amount!]
The wonderful notifications of the system kept ringing non-stop and seemed to be music to Su Lang's ears.
"Huh?!"
Coming back to reality, Su Lang suddenly exclaimed in surprise.
Taking a look at his surroundings, he noticed that the strange aura that permeated the world began to gradually dissipate. The dark clouds in the sky also started to disperse as the desolate land welcomed back the warm embrace of the bright sun.
At that moment, the Vicious Beasts that were madly attacking the city reverted back to their original size and fled away in a panic.
"How strange.... It seems as if someone is controlling this phenomenon from behind the scenes."
Su Lang narrowed his eyes and looked into the sky as he pondered on that thought. However, he quickly shook his head and shifted his gaze to the densely packed Vicious Beast Tide.
That dense concentration of Vicious Beast presented a rare opportunity for him to harvest their materials in bulk.
As the corner of Su Lang's lips curled up into a wicked smile, he grasped his longsword tightly and bolted into the horde of Vicious Beasts like a madman.
In the next moment, a terrifying river dyed crimson could be seen trailing the scattered groups of Vcious Beasts.
Moving through the waves of Vicious Beasts like a giant ship navigating through a storm, Su Lang dashed around swiftly as he swept away everything in his path.
The unfortunate Vicious Beasts that happened to be in his path were ruthlessly slaughtered by him with a single slash of his sword.
[Ding! Ding! Ding!]. The system notifications rang out continuously. In a short period of time, a small mountain of Vicious Beast materials had appeared within Su Lang's Storage Space.
When the martial cultivators on the city walls noticed Su Lang's figure dashing around through the horde of Vicious Beasts, they immediately burst into cheers of excitement.
"Everyone, look! That is the person who killed all five of the C-class Vicious Beasts!"
"He's actually so young?! He doesn't even look to be 20 years old. That young man is definitely a genius that appears once every few centuries!"
"Alright, I've decided. From now on, I will worship that young man as my idol! Does anyone here recognize him? I need to know his name!"
"I'm also starting to admire him as I even have to urge to fight him!"
The excitement on the martial cultivators' faces quickly turned into deep admiration and respect for their savior.
CHAPTER 99 - THE RESPECTFUL TRIO
At that moment, someone shouted from the side.
"Oh my God, is it just me or does that young man look exactly like Su Lang, the man wanted by the Ye Family?"
Upon taking a closer look at the young man, everyone was utterly dumbfounded.
At this point, everyone had already seen the wanted posters attached by the Ye Family. Thus, the whole city pretty much knew of Su Lang's appearance.
But only after someone reminded them did they immediately recognize Su Lang.
"He really looks the same as Su Lang!"
"Could that young man be the person wanted by the Ye Family?"
"I believe that should be the case. Haven't you guys realized yet? The Ye Family has essentially collapsed over the past few days!"
"Now that you mention it, many of the core members of the Ye Family, including Ye Feizhang, have yet to show themselves."
"Look over there. Why is the expression of that martial cultivator from the Ye Family so ugly? Could that young lord really be Su Lang?"
"That must definitely be the case. To think the Ye family actually dared to provoke such a powerful young lord and even issued an arrest warrant for him. They are simply courting death!"
"That's what I think so too. Seeing how Ye Feizhang and the others didn't show up, they much have been taken care of by Lord Su Lang. They certainly got what they deserved!"
Amidst the heated discussion, the public soon pieced the puzzle together.
"Everyone, listen up!"
At this time, Yin Zhou's voice suddenly resounded across the entire scene. "Follow Lo
rd Su Lang and chase after the scattered Vicious Beasts swarm. Attack them immediately!"
Those words immediately confirmed that young lord's identity.
All the martial cultivators let out a sigh as if they had expected it before once again expressing their disdain towards the Ye Family's arrogance.
On the other hand, the cultivators from the Ye Family suddenly turned bleach pale as if falling into a state of despair.
Having offended such a powerful expert like Su Lang, they wanted to immediately leave the Ye Family to avoid getting killed.
As the light on the defensive barrier slowly faded away, one cultivator after another rushed out with the utmost excitement.
Forming into separate groups, they proceeded to hunt down as many Vicious Beasts as they could to expand the result of their victory.
The hordes of Vicious Beasts were defeated in a landslide as their combat strength had been greatly weakened. Under the pursuit of tens of thousands of martial cultivators, they perished in large numbers.
At this time, Su Lang also forcefully slaughtered his way to the stronghold.
The trail of crimson left behind by his endless slaughter of the Vicious Beasts looked like a river of blood that earned him the reverence of countless martial cultivators.
Furthermore, his young and handsome appearance, coupled with his unparalleled strength, instantly attracted the hearts of countless young ladies.
Suddenly...
[Ding! The duration of Devouring Clone has ended and will now enter a cool down period.]
As the terrifying aura of a Martial Emperor gradually disappeared from Su Lang's body, his cultivation fell back to the level of a Martial King.
Shortly after, the aura of the Martial King also faded away. All that was left on Su Lang's body was the fluctuating spiritual energy of a Quasi Martial Expert.
At this moment, Yin Zhou, Yu Feng, and Bao Zheng walked out of the stronghold.
Upon noticing the drastic decrease in Su Lang's spiritual energy, the three of them were all taken aback.
When Su Lang killed Ye Feizhang, his body was emitting the aura of a Quasi Martial Emperor. Thus, they thought that Su Lang had at the very least broken through to the Martial King Realm.
Never in a million years would they have thought that Su Lang's true realm was only at the Quasi Martial Expert Realm!
