Chapter 255: The Power of the Third-Level Demon King, the Sky-Devouring Rat!

Qin Ming stood in the air with his hands behind his back.

Hearing Linghu Yang's words, he had no expression on his face, and his expression did not fluctuate much. He just said lightly:

"I don't need you to hold back."

Linghu Yang on the opposite side was also stunned when he heard the words, and then said coldly:

"Hmph! Your Excellency is really arrogant. Do you really have the strength to deal with the Golden Core Stage?"

Qin Ming said lightly: "I'm just afraid that after the competition, your thoughts will be even more confused."

Linghu Yang was also angry when he heard this. The other party's attitude clearly looked down on him.

"Okay!"

"Then I won't hold back, and I'll see if Fellow Daoist Long is as powerful as he said."

"If I don't control the strength well and accidentally kill you, then you can't blame me!"

After Linghu Yang said this, the magic power in his body was released.

Qin Ming then raised his hand and waved, and a gray-fur rat demon appeared between the two.

"You must win my spiritual pet first."

Then, the body of the Sky-Devouring Rat suddenly grew larger, and instantly grew to a size of dozens of feet. An overwhelming pressure from the demon king descended!

The powerful spiritual pressure even frightened Linghu Yang so much that his face turned pale and he almost couldn't breathe.

Also, at the same level of the third tier, the strength of the demon race is several times stronger than that of the human race.

What's more, Linghu Yang has just broken through to the Golden Core Stage.

"Hey, kid!"

"I heard you want to challenge my master?!"

"Tell me! What kind of death do you want?"

The Sky-Devouring Rat rushed towards Linghu Yang with extreme arrogance, showing its cold fangs.

"A peak demon king at the early stage of the third tier!!"

"How is this possible?"

Linghu Yang's eyes were filled with fear. He simply couldn't believe that as a Taoist priest who had completed his foundation, how could he have such a powerful spiritual pet.

According to this calculation, how strong would Taoist priest Long be?

Puzzles, fear, doubts and other complex emotions were revealed on Linghu Yang's face.

The next moment, he forced an ugly smile on his face, bowed his hands to apologize to Qin Ming:

"So fellow Daoist Long is so powerful, please forgive me for being presumptuous, please don't blame me if I offend you!"

Then Linghu Yang turned into a golden light and fled away without saying a word.

He ran faster than when he came.

"Hehe! Want to run?"

The Sky-Eating Rat was eager to try. It hadn't used its skills for a long time and had been impatient.

The huge demon body strangely sank into the void and disappeared in an instant.

Qin Ming's figure also disappeared in a trance.

...

On the other side.

Linghu Yang flew at the fastest speed. He used a secret method to escape thousands of miles in one breath.

He was sweating all over and kept sending out his mind to scan the back.

It was not until he found out that ‘Long Daoist’ and his terrifying demon king spirit pet seemed not to have caught up that he breathed a sigh of relief.

“As long as we return to Moyuan Immortal City, we will be safe.”

“There is always someone stronger than you, and there is always someone better!”

“This Long Daoist is simply unfathomable! There must be a big secret in this person!”

“It seems that my state of mind is still too impetuous, and I will not compete with others in the future.”

“This behavior is simply asking for trouble!”

“Alas! I thought that I could avenge my previous shame by breaking through to the Jindan stage. Forget it, I’d better go back to the mountains and practice in seclusion.”

“I will never come out until I reach the late stage of cultivation!”

Just then.

“Isn’t it a bit too late to think of retreating to practice now?”

A faint voice suddenly sounded beside him!

Linghu Yang was so shocked that he quickly sacrificed a magic weapon, which was a three-foot-long sword full of golden sharp energy.

Whoosh!

A silent attack came.

The hair on Linghu Yang's back stood up, and he immediately flew dozens of feet away.

He quickly formed a sword formula in his hand and slashed at the void in front of him!

The golden sword magic weapon exuded an unparalleled sword force, and instantly separated thirty-six golden flying swords, hitting an object in the air.

Clang!

Swish!

Several huge black ground spikes emerged from thin air and collided with many golden flying swords.

Linghu Yang's magic weapon, the golden sword, was hit by the Sky Devouring Rat and bounced back, and its spirituality was greatly damaged.

Linghu Yang's life magic weapon was damaged, and his complexion was sluggish, and he spit out a large mouthful of blood.

The Sky Devouring Rat almost took half of Linghu Yang's life with just one attack.

Obviously, the strength levels of the two sides were not at the same level.

Qin Ming's eyes were slightly cold. He originally wanted to settle the matter peacefully, but he thought of Linghu Yang's lingering ghost.

Then he couldn't blame himself.

He also wanted to see how powerful the Sky Devouring Rat Demon King was, surpassing his peak period.

The Sky Devouring Rat shuttled back and forth in the void, and Linghu Yang could not lock onto its whereabouts at all.

Suddenly!

He was hit by the rat's tail and flew far away like a sandbag.

Linghu Yang got up in a panic, covered his chest and coughed violently a few times, and then he found that he could not escape.

Especially Long Dao Ren was still watching him covetously.

He looked crazy and ready to fight to the death.

Linghu Yang once again drove the golden magic flying sword in his hand, pouring his own mana into it without leaving any effort.

"Rise! Golden Sun Sword Formation!"

Buzz!

Swish! Swish!

Instantly, the magic sword in Linghu Yang's hand flew out, turning into a rain of swords all over the sky, with a total of 72 swords, and each golden sword was dozens of feet in size.

Linghu Yang used all his means, and the Golden Sun Sword Formation exerted a destructive momentum.

The golden sword beams intertwined, covering all the nearby voids.

The next moment.

The figure of the Sky Devouring Rat appeared again. It was in the center of the sword formation, but it was not afraid at all.

It opened its mouth and spit out a black light, which suddenly spread in the air, like a huge black net, instantly trapping Linghu Yang's Golden Sun Sword Formation.

The moment the sword beams touched the black light, they turned into countless bubbles and shattered.

Among them, several sword beams that escaped the net fell in front of Qin Ming.

He immediately used the Qi and Blood Qi, and countless spiritual patterns flashed on his skin, which was the body of the True Extreme!

Ding Ding Ding!

The magic flying sword sent by Linghu Yang slashed Qin Ming's body, leaving only a few white marks, almost unscathed!

"This" Linghu Yang was also horrified when he saw this scene, not to mention that his strongest sword array trump card was broken.

It was also the first time in his life that he saw someone who could resist the attack of magic weapons with only his physical body.

It completely overturned his three views of the Jindan Zhenren!

Before he had time to regret, the whole person was swallowed up by the black light emitted by the Sky Devouring Rat.

"Ah ah ah!"

A shrill howl came out of the black light.

Whoosh!

A soul body jumped out of the black light, and Linghu Yang did not hesitate to abandon his physical body and fled.

At this moment.

The Sky Devouring Rat sneered and grabbed the void in front of it with its sharp claws.

An invisible force split the void and crushed the fleeing Linghu Yang's soul body.

So far, this newly promoted Jindan Zhenren has not had time to make a name for himself in the world of cultivation.

The Sky Devouring Rat killed him on the spot in a few seconds, and his soul was shattered.

After this battle, the Sky Devouring Rat showed its strength as a peak demon king at the early stage of the third level.

After killing Linghu Yang, the Sky Devouring Rat excitedly sucked at his corpse, and then took out a golden elixir from his dantian!

When it saw this, it drooled on the ground.

"Don't swallow it yet!"

Qin Ming immediately stopped the Sky Devouring Rat's actions. Once this beast took this human golden elixir, he would be only one step away from advancing again at the peak of the early stage of the third level.

The demon elixir of the third-level demon king of the demon race, given to a perfect foundation-building cultivator, can create a fake elixir cultivator.

Conversely, the human golden elixir is the same, and it is also an extremely rare tonic for demon beasts.

The golden elixir gathers the essence of the cultivator's lifelong cultivation.

If the Sky Devouring Rat swallows it, it will definitely be able to break through to the middle stage of the third level.

Even the Black Water Crocodile and the Silver Wing Frost Bee could break through to the level of the third-level demon king after taking it.

What's more, the golden elixir condensed by Linghu Yang was of the upper grade.

But in this case, it would take a long time for the Sky-Devouring Rat to digest this golden elixir and break through.

Qin Ming still had to go to work, and at this critical moment, he couldn't let this capable general sleep.

Although the Sky-Devouring Rat was very eager for the golden elixir, he still listened to Qin Ming's instructions and handed the golden elixir in his hand to him.

"Now is not the time."

"Wait until I finish searching for the spirit of the weapon, and then I will give you a breakthrough."

Qin Ming put away the golden elixir, then stretched out his hand and took Linghu Yang's storage bag and the golden magic flying sword.

He didn't even look at it, and put it away.

Immediately, he cast a thorn spell on Linghu Yang's body, and countless black vines surged out, wrapping the body, and soon it turned into a fist-sized blood bead.

It was taken into Qin Ming's hand.

Qin Ming looked at this golden elixir-level blood bead. This time, his life-saving spiritual plant Yin Yang Xuan Teng was blessed. If he fed it with this blood bead, it would probably grow a lot, and his life-saving magic weapon, the wooden emperor nail, would also be able to advance, right?

After doing all this.

Qin Ming then shot a fireball spell at the mummy, destroyed the corpse and left here.

…

Three days later.

Qin Ming rode the silver-winged frost bee and came to Jingzhou, Liangguo. His destination was the Xiao family in Taihu Lake.

According to the records on the silk, the spirit of the magatama golden mirror was hidden in the ancestral hall of the Xiao family.

Half a day later.

A huge lake appeared in Qin Ming's sight, like a green gem inlaid on the earth.

The surface of Taihu Lake was blue and the sky and water were one color, the mountains and water were beautiful, and the strange mountains and rocks were unique.

Countless fishing boats are floating on the green waves, people are turning around the water, mountains are moving with people, people are walking in a painting, mountains are floating on the water, which is refreshing.

Surrounding Taihu Lake, there are dozens of large and small immortal cultivation families that have been passed down here to this day.

And the Xiao family is one of them.

Qin Ming also couldn't understand how such an important artifact spirit could be hidden in a small Qi training family like the Xiao family.

However, that was a matter of ancient times. With the passage of time, it is certain that the family that existed here at that time may not be the Xiao family.

Qin Ming put away the Silver Wing Frost Bee, performed the True Demon Illusion, turned into a plain-looking casual cultivator, and fell towards a small market nearby.

He planned to secretly explore the periphery before making a decision.

Most of the immortal cultivation forces around Taihu Lake are not of the mainstream, with only two foundation-building families, and the people with the highest cultivation are all in the early stage of foundation-building.

The Xiao family is not prosperous, and the patriarch Xiao Zhongren is only in the late stage of Qi training.

However, the Xiao family does have an antique ancestral hall.

Qin Ming did not let his guard down, but instead became extremely alert.

After all, this involved the spirit of a top-level magic weapon.

He sneaked into the vicinity of the Xiao family at night, released the Sky-Eating Rat, and asked it, "Did you find anything unusual?"
