Chapter 62

First update of the day! Last week on the new book chart, I beg for red votes and favorites. I really don't want to fall off the chart at the last moment~

At the peak of Bao Yue Mountain, by the side of the Cloud Sea Cliff.

"He's coming! Senior, save me!"

Hearing the increasingly close voice, Mu Kui's face turned extremely pale and miserable, and he bowed his head like a garlic pestle.

"If you don't get up, I really won't save you anymore." Chen Xi shook his head and said helplessly.

Mu Kui was overjoyed, bowed three more times, and his voice was filled with excitement: "Thank you, Senior, thank you, Senior."

In no time, a red-robed youth leaped onto the cliff, with a fair face, jade lips, sword-like eyebrows, and star-like eyes, looking extremely handsome. What was particularly noticeable was the flame tattoo pulsing on his forehead, adding an aura of evil charm.

"Mu Kui, I didn't expect you to find a helper! But you seem to be injured, don't you?" The red-robed youth glanced at Chen Xi in surprise, then fixed his gaze on the injured Mu Kui, sneering coldly.

Hearing the deep and powerful voice of the youth, Chen Xi almost couldn't believe his eyes. He had thought that even if Li Hu transformed into a human form, he should be a burly man, but he never expected him to be a handsome youth!

"Li Hu, you've provoked me multiple times. Do you think I'm afraid of you?" With Chen Xi's support, Mu Kui's courage grew, and he shouted loudly.

Li Hu shook his head disdainfully, then pointed at Chen Xi and said solemnly, "Kid, I advise you to leave early. Don't get hurt because of Mu Kui. I am a fully evolved Flame Tiger demon, and killing you is like slaughtering a chicken. Get lost quickly!"

"Ridiculous! How dare you insult Senior? You stupid tiger, you're asking for death. I tell you, because of those words, you, Li Hu, are dead today!" Mu Kui shouted and was about to rush forward.

"Let me handle it."

Chen Xi's calm and indifferent voice echoed, carrying an irresistible force. Mu Kui felt a chill in his heart and immediately stepped back, standing respectfully to one side. Thinking of his previous miserable experience, he looked at Li Hu with a hint of pity.

Thud!

Chen Xi took a step forward, and as he did, his aura changed dramatically. A fierce killing intent surged from his lean and tall body, like a sharp sword eager to drink blood, unsheathed!

Hiss!

Mu Kui drew a sharp breath, horrified, thinking, "This must be Senior's true strength, right? It seems that when he defeated me earlier, he didn't use his full power at all..."

"Kid, who are you? Report your name quickly!"

The overwhelming killing intent that suddenly emerged from Chen Xi startled Li Hu. Realizing he had met a tough opponent, he decided to probe Chen Xi's intentions first.

Mu Kui could recognize him as a human at a glance, but Li Hu acted as if he didn't see it, truly a stupid tiger. A hint of pity rose in Chen Xi's heart, but the killing intent in his chest grew stronger.

Chen Tianli has always been Chen Xi's sore spot. Li Hu's constant reference to his "grandfather" was undoubtedly provoking Chen Xi's底线.

"Cut out your tongue, and I'll spare your life." Chen Xi said coldly.

"More arrogant than my grandfather Li Hu? You're asking for death!" Li Hu flew into a rage, demonic aura surging from his body, his eyes turning blood-red.

Swish!

In a fit of anger, Li Hu decided to strike first. His hands, as large as fans, grew two feet of sharp nails, like ten sharp blades gleaming with a blood-red luster. He leaped forward, clawing at Chen Xi.

Rip!

As he ran, Li Hu's red robe tore into pieces, revealing a muscular and rock-hard upper body. His aura also surged.

This tiger demon is actually a practitioner of the divine and demonic body cultivation method?

Chen Xi's eyes lit up. It was the first time he encountered a powerful demon who practiced body cultivation, and his fighting spirit was instantly ignited. He decided not to use his true essence and charged forward.

Bang, bang, bang...

Chen Xi and Li Hu fought fiercely. The Great Collapse Fist, which he had mastered to perfection at the Heaven-Earth Unity stage, was used in a purely hard-on-hard manner.

Like a taut bow, like a thunderclap!

Chen Xi's body was like a fully drawn bow, the terrifying power in his muscles and skin converging at every joint. Each punch was like an arrow shooting out, like a thunderclap.

The 'collapse' force of the Great Collapse Fist was fully unleashed, the powerful physical strength surging from his fists, causing visible ripples in the air!

Although Li Hu was also at the fully evolved stage of body cultivation, his martial techniques were crude and simple, barely reaching the 'Zhi Wei' level. However, as a Flame Tiger demon, his physical strength was naturally extremely powerful. After transforming into human form, he practiced the divine and demonic body cultivation method, making his physical strength no less than Chen Xi's.

Because of this, although Li Hu was forced to retreat step by step, Chen Xi could not defeat him in a short time.

"This Senior's body cultivation is terrifying. Li Hu is a tiger demon with naturally powerful physical strength, yet he is being beaten to the point of no resistance. Moreover, this Senior's fist technique is extremely powerful, clearly reaching the Heaven-Earth Unity stage..."

From a distance, Mu Kui watched with amazement. The deeper he understood Chen Xi's strength, the more he felt a sense of awe, and he had already decided to stay by Chen Xi's side no matter what!

"How is this possible? I have practiced this body cultivation technique for over a thousand years, just one step away from advancing to the Purple Mansion stage and becoming a demon king. How can I be forced to retreat step by step?"

Li Hu's expression grew increasingly serious. Each punch from Chen Xi shook his blood and qi, and his bones ached. This feeling was so unfamiliar that it made him feel extremely frustrated.

"Roar!"

A fierce tiger roar echoed on the mountain peak. Li Hu transformed into a huge tiger, two zhang long and one zhang high, with fangs like knives and claws like swords, surrounded by raging flames, and a fierce and violent demonic aura surged.

"For so many years, you are the first to force me to reveal my true form. I will make you die a quick and painful death!"

Li Hu roared to the sky, and his figure, like a flame, pounced at Chen Xi, moving more than twice as fast as before!

"Senior, be careful!" Mu Kui shouted from a distance, "Li Hu's strength increases by at least twenty percent when he returns to his demon form!"

Is he going to fight to the death?

Chen Xi sighed inwardly. The previous hard-on-hard battle with Li Hu had deepened his understanding of fist techniques. The Great Collapse Fist, which had been stagnant at the Heaven-Earth Unity stage, showed signs of breaking through. However, at this crucial moment, Li Hu transformed into a demon, changing the way of the battle, which made him feel a bit regretful.

"Die!"

In a fierce voice, Li Hu appeared in front of Chen Xi, opening his blood-red mouth to bite down on his head!

Chen Xi took a deep breath, no longer holding back. His fists, powered by his physical strength, emitted a faint, heart-chilling mysterious force.

Ancient, desolate, cold... Since reaching the fully evolved stage, the mysterious witch patterns on his back had become more prominent. Chen Xi discovered that when he used the Great Collapse Fist purely with his physical strength, a mysterious force would surge from his flesh and skin. This force was as fine as a hair and extremely rare, and if not carefully perceived, it would be impossible to notice.

Witch Force!

According to the "Heavenly Star Slaying Body Cultivation Technique," when body cultivation reaches the Purple Mansion stage, witch patterns gather, and star maps form, causing a terrifying and mysterious force, witch force, to surge from the flesh, blood, and bones. Like the true essence cultivated by qi practitioners, witch force also undergoes qualitative changes as strength increases, used to perform the divine techniques that can only be learned at the Purple Mansion stage, unleashing unimaginable destructive power!

Bang!

Chen Xi ducked and dodged Li Hu's bite with lightning speed, then twisted his right arm and thrust a punch like an electric shock.

Puff!

Chen Xi's right fist broke through Li Hu's jaw and continued upward, piercing through his skull, leaving a gushing hole of blood.

"Ah—"

Thick, dark red blood splattered into the air, staining the clouds, while Li Hu let out a piercing, painful scream, thrown dozens of zhang away by Chen Xi's arm. After struggling for a moment, he finally couldn't stand up again and died.

Although it seemed slow, from the moment Li Hu transformed into his demon form to the moment Chen Xi punched through his skull, it all happened in an instant. In that instant, Li Hu was already severely injured and lying on the ground.

Mu Kui's eyes widened, almost thinking he was seeing things. But when he saw Li Hu's body lying in a pool of blood, he realized it was all real!

One move to kill?

Is this Senior's true strength?

Mu Kui recalled the scenes of being beaten by Chen Xi, a chill ran up his spine, and he shivered. If Senior had used his full strength at that time, he would have been dead like Li Hu.

"Let's go."

Chen Xi took out a storage belt from Li Hu's body and turned to walk down the mountain.

"Okay." Mu Kui snapped out of his daze, quickly following, his eyes filled with endless awe as he looked at Chen Xi's back.

"By the way, Li Hu is a Flame Tiger demon. What about you?"

"Reporting to Senior, I am a Two-Winged Silver Wolf."

"Oh, I heard that Two-Winged Silver Wolves have a trace of the ancient divine beast Gui Mu Lang's blood. Is that true?"

"Um... it is, but my bloodline is very mixed. My father was a Green-Winged Wind Wolf, and my mother was a Two-Winged Silver Wolf, so I'm not sure if I have the bloodline of Gui Mu Lang."

"Hmm, so you're a hybrid."

"..."

"But you named yourself Mu Kui, so you must be very eager to have the powerful strength of Gui Mu Lang, right?"

"Senior is truly insightful. I am deeply impressed, and my admiration is like a surging river..."

"..."

As they talked, Chen Xi soon arrived at Mu Kui's cave, guided by Mu Kui, after about an incense stick's time of winding along the mountain path.

This cave was located on a hidden stone platform halfway up the mountain, one side was a cliff, and the other was covered by huge, gnarled trees. If not for Mu Kui's guidance, it would have been hard to find.

"Senior, please come in." Mu Kui stood at the entrance of the cave, bowing to welcome him.
