Chapter 78: Chapter 59 First Battle!_2

Although the dagger couldn’t cut through the Blade Beast’s outer armor, it could penetrate the joint at its edge.

Wang Jixuan had no choice but to pull it out with his bare hands.

Then, it turned into him stepping on it with one foot and pulling with both hands, as Spiritual Energy surged through his body.

After more than ten seconds,

"Open!"

Accompanied by a low roar, Wang Jixuan raised his hands high, lifting off a Blade Beast’s skull along with part of its back armor!

Inside was a viscous green liquid!

Wuliang, that Heavenly Venerable!

When had the Daoist ever done such dirty work!

Suppressing his discomfort, he carefully sensed, held his breath, and reached into it with his right hand to grab the area where the energy fluctuations were the most concentrated...

He found it!

Wang Jixuan pulled out a Crystal Core the size of a pinky.

Uh, the Spiritual Power doesn’t seem too abundant.

It was also a low-level Basic Blade Beast’s Crystal Core, but although this Crystal Core was larger than the six he got from the Spiritual Ability House, it had one-third less Spiritual Power.

’Is there even a concept of carefully selected products at the Spiritual Ability House?’

Wang Jixuan raised his eyebrows and smiled.

A sense of unprecedented security and satisfaction arose in his Dao Heart.

Using a Sealing Demon Talisman to wrap the Blade Beast Crystal Core, he hurriedly ran to another Blade Beast nearby that was in its dying moments after swallowing a grenade.

Now with experience, opening the shell and extracting the Crystal Core was much faster.

The blood of an active Blade Beast was green and full of Spiritual Energy;

Upon opening the Blade Beast’s outer bones, those green muscles also contained Spiritual Energy;

So did their internal organs.

If he were in a more stable environment, Wang Jixuan would definitely start, get some talisman paper, assemble a barbecue grill, get some thin buns, sprinkle some cumin and sweet bean sauce...all to extract Spiritual Energy by hook or by crook!

But the current environment didn’t allow it, as he already sensed the presence of other Blade Beasts at the edge of his Spiritual Sense, which were hunting down the miners who couldn’t escape.

’Poor mortals.’

The real battlefield was even lower down, and there were probably six more Blade Beasts in this horizontal tunnel.

The sound of explosions below was incredibly dense, Lingtong was slaughtering Blade Beasts...

Wang Jixuan thought carefully.

He couldn’t possibly start collecting Crystal Cores right in front of Lingtong.

Given her personality, she would definitely report this matter to the military zone, and then his chance to increase his strength would inevitably become known to the high command of the military zone, and most likely by the Thirteenth Institute as well.

Wang Jixuan leaned against the wall, sorting through his combat experience with Blade Beasts, and turned on the Power Armor’s intercom.

Wan Xiaoqi’s sobbing came through.

Master Wang instantly displayed a ’Cultivator confusion face.’

"Dad, mom, there’s really no more sound from Wang Zheng’s side, he might have been eaten by a Blade Beast, the locator signal is still moving, might be inside the Blade Beast’s stomach! Tsk, tsk! Such a handsome young man!"

"Alas," Uncle Tai sighed, "how are we going to explain this to Lingtong?"

Ms. Wan sighed: "Xiao Wang is a good kid, if Lingtong knew that he died supporting her, she’d definitely be very distressed... He doesn’t have a pulse signal, right? Alas, we didn’t even get to install a pulse detection chip for him."

Wang Jixuan: ...

Should he let them keep misunderstanding?

As he sensed for his next hunting target, he whispered, "The signal was just interfered with, I’m okay."

"Xiao Wang!"

"Wang Zheng is still alive!"

"Don’t shout, don’t let Lingtong hear!" Uncle Tai hastily cautioned.

Wang Jixuan asked softly, "How is it going on Lingtong’s side?"

"Suppressing Blade Beasts, a tunnel was dug out by the Blade Beasts in the middle layer resting area, and a small group of Blade Beasts have rushed out, but they are all suppressed by the boss!"

Wan Xiaoqi asked quickly:

"How is it on your end?"

"I’m okay, can you see how many Blade Beasts are still in front of me?"

"We can see energy reactions, a small group, still six! They came from the middle layer resting area! They’re in groups of three!"

"I’ll try to handle them, don’t tell Lingtong, lest she gets distracted," Wang Jixuan said calmly:

"This laser cannon isn’t very useful, and the Blade Beasts know to dodge, do you have any other powerful individual equipment? I mean for later use."

"Ah? You can really defeat Blade Beasts?" Uncle Tai’s voice was filled with shock.

"I have some unique combat tricks... for now, let’s leave it at that, and keep in touch! If new Blade Beasts enter this horizontal passage, or if reinforcements charge into this area, please let me know immediately!"

"Okay, okay!"

Wan Xiaoqi’s voice was trembling.

They had already discovered that behind Wang Jixuan, the energy signals of two Blade Beasts had completely disappeared.

Wang Jixuan turned off his microphone, stepped on his Power Armor, held the laser cannon, and charged forward with his head down.

Around the corner ahead, three Blade Beasts were gnawing on human corpses, and the sounds of several humans whose waists had been severed and were still horribly screaming could be heard.

Master Wang had already devised a battle plan.

First, set a simple ambush, then use this miniature laser cannon for a sneak attack, targeting the active area of the Blade Beast’s demon soul, and burn through it with the laser.

Then, use Bone Penetration Nails and Demon-breaking Technique as the main fighting methods to take down the other two.

The rest depended on how things unfolded.

Wang Jixuan did not put down the alloy box on his back, which was indeed hard enough to be used as a shield in a critical moment.

For the current Master Wang, cultivation was the only limiting factor in his combat power.

Jump, charge forward!

Talisman, Spell, Body, Artifact, all four magics move at once!

Eliminate demons and protect the Dao!

...

Alas!

A good speaker finds it hard to work without materials.

Standing next to the bones of three Blade Beasts, Wang Jixuan finally experienced the pain of limited cultivation and insufficient mana.

To save time, Wang Jixuan could only quickly set a few traps, using the laser cannon to disable one Blade Beast first, and he fought head-on to take down the other two.

The situation was very bad, and the fighting was extremely fierce.

He was nearly killed by these lowest-level Basic Blade Beasts.

By the time he had dealt with the second wave of three Blade Beasts, only a third of his qi remained, his stock of talismans was nearly depleted, and one of his three Bone Penetration Nails had exploded, while the prohibitions on the other two were also unstable.

After he had opened the Blade Beasts’ skull caps and outer bones and removed the Crystal Cores...

The qi in his Dan Tian Qi Vortex was even less.

’Mountains exhausted, waters depleted, one must not overexert.’

’Five Crystal Cores should be enough, three for advancing in Concentration, and two to make a magic artifact embedded with Spirit Stones.’

Wang Jixuan was calculating this.

The three Blade Beasts were still some distance away, continuing to attack other humans.

Wang Jixuan looked around, more than a dozen human bodies looked even more tragic, most of them had their heads or waists severed.

According to Wan Xiaoqi’s feedback, the military’s reinforcements would arrive in about three minutes.

’Enough, even a Daoist must measure his abilities. Now I’m no match for three demon beasts, preserving life for future possibilities is prudent.’

Wang Jixuan steeled his heart and was just about to turn around and leave.

Grr—

What was that noise?

Was it a hallucination?

It was as if from behind the thick rock layers of the mine wall, a pair of eyes was staring at him.

Wang Jixuan felt a chill all over.

And on the edge of his Spiritual Sense, the three Blade Beasts, originally in the distance, suddenly abandoned the miners and started sprinting towards him!

Daoist’s curses!

Wang Jixuan turned and ran, the amount of qi inside his body was nowhere near enough to kill three Blade Beasts!

If it weren’t for the sneak attack, or without teammates to cover him, the miniature laser cannon he was carrying alone was hardly of any use!

A more horrifying scene played out within the range of his Spiritual Sense:

The three Blade Beasts were originally running in a ’品’ formation—Master Wang had simply labeled them Alpha, Beta, Gamma—Alpha Beast suddenly pounced on Beta Beast, Alpha’s mouth opened, and its tongue, which looked like tentacles, latched onto Beta’s back, a brilliant light flashed from Beta’s back, quickly transferring into Alpha.

Spiritual Power convening!

Spiritual Power was transferred to Alpha Blade Beast!

The drained Beta Blade Beast collapsed powerless.

Alpha Beast then pounced on Gamma Beast, and in two seconds, the same scenario was completed.

Wang Jixuan didn’t stop running, his rapid sprinting raised doubts about having time to shed his Power Armor.

Alpha Beast’s six blade limbs swelled up a notch, its bloated abdomen shrank by half, crystalline layers appeared outside its mouth, and its charging speed significantly increased.

Low-level Mutated Blade Beast!

It chased after Wang Jixuan, and within five or six seconds, saw Wang Jixuan’s retreating figure, transforming into a wheel-like shape!
