Chapter 80

"Is it that serious?" Nie Yun didn't expect Luo Chen and Luo Yu to be so ruthless. These two mutated tiger-headed beasts, which had been dominating the jungle for a long time, were now severely injured and hard to treat!

"Roar!"

Seeming to know that his injuries were incurable, the male tiger-headed beast glanced at Nie Yun, then looked at Xiao Hu with its massive head, as if entrusting his son to Nie Yun, pleading for him to take good care of him in the future.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of Xiao Hu!" Although he didn't understand the language of beasts and didn't have a so-called beast language dantian, Nie Yun understood its meaning and nodded.

Last time, he was forced to hide in the pond for several hours because of this beast, and even drugged it to get out. Originally, the man and the beast were enemies, but they never expected to meet again under such circumstances, with the beast entrusting its legacy.

"Roar!" Seeing the young man nod, the male tiger-headed beast's eyes showed joy. Suddenly, it roared loudly, its body trembled, and a bowl-sized amount of blood spurted out from its massive head.

This blood was darker red than normal blood, like boiling lava, constantly bubbling as if it could ignite at any moment.

As soon as the blood appeared, the male tiger-headed beast's aura dropped sharply, and it seemed to be on the verge of death, unable to hold on any longer.

The blood circled around the male tiger-headed beast's massive hooves and was then pushed into Xiao Hu's body with one claw.

"This is... the essence blood of a demonic beast?"

Seeing the male tiger-headed beast's actions, Nie Yun was shocked, recalling something. Even he, an old antique who remained calm in the face of any situation, couldn't help but feel a lump in his throat, his eyes slightly reddening.

Unlike demonized humans, demonic beasts don't have their own demon cores; their most precious thing is their essence blood!

Essence blood is the essence of their entire body, like the internal energy of martial arts experts or the true qi of qi sea cultivators. Once lost, their vitality and spirit would wither, and even if they weren't injured, it would be uncertain whether they could survive, let alone now!

The male tiger-headed beast gave all its essence blood to its son, perfectly matching him. It was easy to imagine that Xiao Hu's strength would grow rapidly in the future!

To make his son stronger, it was willing to give up any hope of survival.

"Roar!"

Just as Nie Yun's eyes were moistening, he heard the female tiger-headed beast also roar softly, sending all her essence blood into Xiao Hu's body.

Her essence blood was less than the male's but still substantial, fully integrating into Xiao Hu's body, causing his aura to rise continuously.

Thud! Thud!

After doing this, both the male and female tiger-headed beasts fell to the ground, their huge eyes slowly closing.

They knew that once they closed their eyes, they would never rise again, but there was no trace of regret in their eyes, only a sense of relief, as if dying was worth it!

"Pity the hearts of parents, even beasts are like this, how much more so for humans!"

Seeing the two tiger-headed beasts stop breathing, and Xiao Hu, who had absorbed the essence blood of both tigers, fall into a deep sleep, Nie Yun couldn't bear it anymore, his vision went black, and he fainted heavily.

This fainting seemed longer than the previous one. After an unknown amount of time, Nie Yun finally regained consciousness, his awareness returning to his body.

"Last time, I said I wouldn't let this involuntary feeling happen again, but I didn't expect it to happen again today!"

Last time, he fainted in front of Yang Tiecheng while pretending to be a deity. At that time, he had secretly decided that this situation should not happen again. After all, when unconscious, neither his body nor his will belonged to him. Even a low-level demonic beast could kill him at that moment!

He didn't expect that after a short time, he would fall into the same trap again!

But thinking carefully about the previous situation, he realized there was no other choice. Luo Yu and Luo Chen were too powerful, and he was definitely no match for them. Without doing this, there was no other way!

"Hmm? My strength has actually broken through again?" Standing up, he was about to check on Xiao Hu when he suddenly felt a surge of power within him. His true qi moved, forming layers of armor on his body, indicating that he had unknowingly reached the initial stage of the Seventh Layer of the Qi Sea, the Armor Realm!

"Could it be that using mental energy to run the nameless technique can advance my cultivation?"

Last time, after running the technique once, he fell into a coma and woke up to find his strength had advanced from the initial stage of the True Qi Realm to the middle stage. This time, he advanced from the peak of the Cheng Gang Realm to the initial stage of the Armor Realm. Both times, he advanced, which is why Nie Yun thought this way.

Although he said this, Nie Yun knew it was just a coincidence. Last time, he had already reached the peak of the initial stage of the True Qi Realm and was about to break through. During his deep sleep, his true qi automatically circulated to protect his body, thus breaking through the barrier.

This time was similar to last time. After the first Nirvana of the Ninefold Nirvana Technique, he had already reached the peak of the Cheng Gang Realm and was ready to break through at any time. Combined with the large-scale killings at the Nie Family and the City Lord's Mansion, both his mental state and strength were better consolidated. Nie Yun had already felt that he would definitely break through within three days. Clearly, after falling into a coma, his seven dantians automatically circulated, further advancing his strength!

"The difference between the Armor Realm and the Cheng Gang Realm is not as significant as the difference between the Armor Realm and the Qi Zong Realm, but it is still a watershed. Before, when I used the high-level martial techniques of the Marquis Clan, I was still a bit clumsy, but now I can use them with ease. If I encounter Luo Chen and Luo Yu again, even if they team up, they will definitely not be my match!"

Feeling the changes in his body, Nie Yun had a clear understanding of his strength.

Martial techniques are different from cultivation techniques. High-level cultivation techniques can be practiced even at low levels, but high-level martial techniques, if forced to be used at insufficient levels, will only backfire and severely damage the body.

It's like you can practice the Yi Jin Jing without internal energy, but you can't practice the Six Pulse Divine Sword. Although Nie Yun knew many high-level martial techniques of the Imperial Clan, he couldn't use them at his current strength!

Qi Sea cultivators have a clear boundary for using martial techniques: below the Armor Realm, they can use noble martial techniques; at the Armor Realm, they can use Marquis Clan martial techniques; at the Qi Zong Realm, they can use King Clan martial techniques; and only at the Supreme level can they use Imperial Clan martial techniques!

Previously, Nie Yun had used the high-level martial technique of the Marquis Clan, the Bagua Overlapping Cloud Palm, at the peak of the Cheng Gang Realm, which was already surprising. He had no qualifications to use Imperial Clan martial techniques!

As for the Chixiao Divine Axe he had passed to Yang Yan, although it was a King Clan martial technique, it was divided into many moves, each more difficult than the last. The first few moves, strictly speaking, could be considered noble martial techniques and could be practiced even at low levels.

Now, reaching the Armor Realm, the true qi in his qi sea had become twice as pure, allowing Nie Yun to perfectly execute Marquis Clan martial techniques, doubling his strength!

In this situation, even without pretending to be a deity, Luo Yu and Luo Chen would definitely not be his match!

"How is Xiao Hu?"

After feeling the changes in himself, Nie Yun looked in Xiao Hu's direction. As soon as he saw, his eyes immediately showed shock.

"This... This, how is this possible!"
