Chapter 178: Chapter 175 Green Wing Divine Bow (Please subscribe!)

"Roar!"

"Screech!"

Three Lower-grade Earth Level Demon Beasts and a Middle-grade Earth Level Red Flame Violent Bear charged at Ye Zhen, who had just landed.

A Southern Barbarian Spirit Practitioner was rapidly moving his lips, clearly using a secret technique to command these four demon servants.

"Go!"

Ye Zhen gently patted the head of the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub, and with a tiger’s roar in response to their shared intentions, shot a green light orb at the Middle-grade Earth Level Red Flame Violent Bear, clashing with it instantly.

Clang!

The Sky Crystal Sword left its scabbard, and as Ye Zhen slashed forth, an oppressive and frenzied aura spread from his Flowing Cloud Sword Gang, and the Flowing Cloud Realm he had comprehended soared with it.

Flowing Cloud Like a Whip!

The Blazing Flame Lion, a Lower-grade Earth Level Demon Beast charging at the forefront, had just spewed out flames when it was cleaved in two by the Flowing Cloud Sword Gang.

The Southern Barbarian Spirit Practitioner using the Beast Taming Secret Method was clearly startled. To instantly kill a Lower-grade Earth Level Demon Beast with a single strike, what kind of strength was this?

But Ye Zhen’s surprises were far from over!

The Flowing Cloud Sword Gang that had killed the Blazing Flame Lion did not disappear immediately but rather eerily curved and split another Lower-grade Earth Level Demon Iron Line Golden Armor Python’s head into two!

The stupor in the Southern Barbarian Spirit Practitioner’s eyes turned into boundless terror as he began to whistle frantically!

An extremely sharp and piercing whistle instantly rang out, causing the Lower-grade Earth Level flying Demon Beast, the Hundred Poisons Blood Bat, initially diving towards Ye Zhen, to lightning-fast reverse direction and rush toward the Southern Barbarian Spirit Practitioner.

"Trying to flee?"

Ye Zhen took a step forward and unleashed another Flowing Cloud Like a Whip.

The Southern Barbarian Spirit Practitioner had already witnessed the might of Ye Zhen’s Flowing Cloud Sword Gang; a single slash could bisect the Iron Line Golden Armor Python’s head, and he surmised his own head was not as hard as the python’s.

Uttering several short syllables, the Hundred Poisons Blood Bat instantly curled up its body and shielded the Southern Barbarian Spirit Practitioner like a shield.

The smile on Ye Zhen’s lips suddenly turned a bit eerie.

The Southern Barbarian Spirit Practitioner’s face drastically changed, and even before the strange syllables to command the Hundred Poisons Blood Bat were fully pronounced, Ye Zhen’s Flowing Cloud Sword Gang made a turn and bifurcated the Southern Barbarian Spirit Practitioner from behind.

With the death of the Southern Barbarian Spirit Practitioner, his two demon servants both paused simultaneously.

This was the way of the Southern Barbarian Tribe’s Spirit Practitioners. Their demon servants were bound to the beasts using an Ancient Secret Technique passed down within the tribe to forcibly establish a Divine Soul connection, and once the master perished, the demon servants’ Divine Souls would also be impaired.

If the master died while exerting Secret Techniques on some demon servants, the servants might even explode and perish instantly.

With a casual stroke, Ye Zhen obliterated the Hundred Poisons Blood Bat, and the Red Flame Violent Bear, which had been evenly matched with the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub, was pinned and killed due to its momentary loss of Divine Soul coherence.

Three strokes!

In a total of three strokes, Ye Zhen had obliterated a Peak of Spirit Summoning Realm Southern Barbarian Spirit Practitioner, who had only one Middle-grade Earth Level Demon Beast, ranking him about average among the twelve warriors of the Southern Barbarian Tribe.

Such was the case with Southern Barbarian Spirit Practitioners; their strength was entirely dependent on the demon servants they possessed. Moreover, as they needed to continually feed their demon servants with their own Essence Blood to strengthen control, the personal combat power of Southern Barbarian Spirit Practitioners was usually comparatively weak.

A Peak of Spirit Summoning Realm Southern Barbarian Spirit Practitioner being able to match evenly with a Late-stage Spirit Summoning Realm Martial Artist was considered quite formidable.

Of course, this Southern Barbarian Spirit Practitioner was also unlucky to encounter Ye Zhen, whose strength was so abnormal that with a similarly ranked Cloud Winged Tiger Cub, he could kill Lower-grade Earth Level Demon Beasts in a single stroke.

If it had been another Martial Artist, the outcome could have been the complete opposite.

"This guy’s quick on his feet, took down a squad so fast!"

Ye Zhen rummaged through the Southern Barbarian Spirit Practitioner’s storage ring and, aside from a large quantity of Beast Meat and a small amount of herbs, found virtually nothing of value.

The most substantial gain was the ten ordinary Demon Soul Blood Crystals and one slightly larger Ten-man General Demon Soul Blood Crystal inside.

However, the biggest beneficiary was the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub.

In just the span of a moment, the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub had devoured more than half of the Middle-grade Earth Level Red Flame Violent Bear, and the flesh and blood of a Middle-grade Earth Level Demon Beast was a great nourishment.

With a low growl, the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub licked its tongue and presented Ye Zhen with a red Middle-grade Earth Level Demon Core, which was an unexpected pleasure.

"If there are Demon Cores in those three Demon Beasts, they’re all yours!"

With just one sentence from Ye Zhen, the Cloud Winged Tiger Cub excitedly began rummaging around, but only one Demon Core was found among the three Lower-grade Earth Level Demon Beasts.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The ground started shaking violently, not from an earthquake but from the extreme jolting of a heavy weight mercilessly stamping down.

In the distance, the fifty-six meters tall Water and Fire Golden Ape was sprinting rapidly. With legs over twenty meters in thickness, each stride covered two to three hundred meters; a few strides equated to a whole mile.

Following the Water and Fire Golden Ape, four Middle-grade Earth Level Demon Beasts, whether flying or running, were in hot pursuit!

Perched upon the shoulder of the Water and Fire Golden Ape, a young man with tiger-striped patterns from the Southern Barbarian Tribe sat imposingly, his eyes coldly fixed on Ye Zhen.

"Damn!"

Bursting out a curse from between his teeth, Ye Zhen didn’t hesitate to leap onto the tiger’s back of the Cloud Winged Tiger. The tiger’s meaty wings spread, gathering a vast amount of Cloud Qi, and instantly turned into a streak of white light and flew away.

Almost the moment Ye Zhen had flown out for barely five breaths worth of time, the tiger-striped young man arrived at the grove riding on the Water and Fire Golden Ape and immediately saw the bodies of his tribespeople!

"Daring to kill my tribespeople, you’re seeking death!"

With an angry snort, a long emerald-colored bow appeared in the hands of the tiger-striped youth. Pulling it, the bow was drawn full circle, and with a flicker of light on his hand, a green Spiritual Power Arrowhead was instantly formed!

Whoosh!

The shrill sound of tearing through the air echoed, as the green Spiritual Power Arrow split the air like waves, its speed as fast as lightning. Covering a distance of ten miles, it struck in a blink of an eye!

"Spiritual Power Arrowhead, Mid-grade Treasure!"

The moment Ye Zhen turned back and cried out in alarm, he slashed out a Flowing Cloud Sword Gang with a reverse sword strike, meeting the green Spiritual Power Arrow.

Boom!

Like the sound of a thunderous explosion, Ye Zhen’s Flowing Cloud Sword Gang was not only blasted into smithereens by the green Spiritual Power Arrow, but the arrow, which had turned much paler, slammed viciously into Ye Zhen’s back, shattering the ten layers of Protective Spirit Force overlaying him!

Ye Zhen’s complexion changed drastically again!

A Spiritual Power Arrowhead, having shattered his Flowing Cloud Sword Gang, had also destroyed his Protective Spirit Force. If he were directly hit, wouldn’t he be utterly pulverized?

"Being able to withstand a strike from the Green Wing Divine Bow, you do have some skill!"

Dahai, with a tattoo of a tiger’s head on his shoulder, let out a cold snort. With a wave of his hand, he was about to mount his Mid-grade Earth Level Cloud-piercing Thunder Hawk to give chase.

In the Southern Barbarian Tribe, every Spirit Practitioner, Spirit Master, and even Spirit Sovereign had a flying demon servant; it was standard-issue, convenient for their movements.

Like the tiger-striped youth Dahai’s Sky-piercing Thunder Hawk, it was also a Demon Beast known for its speed, and moreover, its body cultivation had reached its peak, achieving Mid-grade Earth Level.

Compared to the Lower-grade Earth Level cultivation of the Cloud Winged Tiger, its speed was definitely faster. In a straight chase, it would certainly catch up.

However, after some consideration, Dahai ultimately gave up on hunting down Ye Zhen.

The reason was simple; his other four demon servants were all beasts and obviously couldn’t keep up with the Sky-piercing Thunder Hawk’s speed. The Water and Fire Thunder Ape was indeed powerful enough to sweep through the Martial Artists from the Four Countries that entered the Battlefield of Demon Souls.

But what if they encountered a Demon Soul Army of a thousand or more?

In that case, even the mighty Water and Fire Golden Ape would be doomed.

This was a risk he couldn’t afford to take.

Frustrated, he put away the Green Wing Divine Bow and started to gather the bodies of his kin.

In the distance, Ye Zhen, who had already escaped far away, looked somewhat gloomy.

How unlucky he was; he had only entered the Battlefield of Demon Souls not long ago, yet he encountered the Southern Barbarian Spirit Practitioner Dahai with the Water and Fire Golden Ape. The ape was terrifying enough, but to his surprise, this guy also possessed an extremely powerful Mid-grade Treasure.

Normally, it was only a Mid-grade Treasure bow that could shoot Spiritual Power Arrows; Low Grade Treasure bows couldn’t shoot Spiritual Power Arrows.

A Low Grade Treasure can amplify the True Yuan or Spiritual Power by 20 percent, whereas a Mid-grade Treasure can terrifyingly amplify the True Yuan or Spiritual Power by 40 percent.

With a 40 percent amplification, defeating martial artists of the same level was almost without suspense!

Even Martial Artists from the Spirit Transformation Realm, upon encountering it, would have to be extremely cautious.

Riding on the Cloud Winged Tiger, Ye Zhen flew a thousand miles away in one breath before stopping in a valley. Along the way, Ye Zhen avoided several Demon Soul Armies of more than a thousand strong.

These Demon Soul Legions were gathering and growing stronger. Those from the Demon Soul Army led by a Ten Thousand Man General would converge wherever the drum beats sounded—thousand-man groups, hundred-man squads, even ten-man squads would gather there.

On the way, Ye Zhen saw three Demon Soul Armies with more than ten thousand members!

However, Ye Zhen also discovered a strange fact; these Demon Soul Armies seemed to belong to different factions and would fight each other!

Ye Zhen had already spotted the White Armor Demon Soul Legion, the Black Armored Demon Soul Legion, and the Red Armor Demon Soul Legion. On the way, a Ten Thousand Strong White Armor Demon Soul Legion was besieging a thousand-man Black Armored Demon Soul Squad.

After these Demon Soul soldiers were killed, they would turn into Demon Soul Blood Crystals, falling to the ground.

Ye Zhen did want to pick them, but at first, he didn’t dare to get close to that Ten Thousand Strong White Armor Demon Soul Legion. Only after the White Armor Demon Soul Legion had gone far away, did Ye Zhen have a chance to pick them up.

Yet, those Demon Soul Blood Crystals that had fallen to the ground all disappeared.

At that moment, Ye Zhen remembered something Elder Zhongli had mentioned; once the Demon Soul Blood Crystals fell to the blood-colored ground and more than 15 minutes passed, they would melt into the ground, and after 15 minutes, you wouldn’t be able to find even half a crystal even if you dug three feet into the ground.

Ye Zhen’s plan to follow the Demon Soul Army from a distance and pick off the spoils of war between two fighting armies was thus dashed.

Ten thousand Demon Soul Blood Crystals was no small number; even split among twelve people, basically, each person would need to collect at least ten thousand to meet the standard.

Looking at the situation, only ten-man squads were within his reach.

"Kill!"

A deep and chilling roar suddenly erupted, and two twenty-man teams enveloped in a faint blood light of Black Armored Demon Soul Squads suddenly appeared on either side of the valley, viciously attacking Ye Zhen!
