Chapter 209 Practical Teaching: The Blood Demon's Den
Not to mention Chu Tang, who felt it was surreal, Mo You's emotions were also fluctuating wildly and excitingly.
Mo You initially joined the attack, either blocking or dodging. When they realized they couldn't break through the monster's defenses, Mo You even considered burning his bloodline again.
Just as Mo You was about to convince himself, there was a commotion from Xia Xining's side, followed by Xia Xining subtly taking advantage of him.
Because everyone had witnessed the power of the monster's slime, their attitudes completely changed when Xia Xining said it could be used as a refining material. Their initial extreme disdain turned into appreciation for this top-tier refining material.
What? You say it's disgusting and smelly? If it's useful, it doesn't exist!
The monster growled, and seeing that its attacks were ineffective, it became agitated, raised its foot, and then slammed it down, its slime attack becoming even more ferocious.
To boost their morale, Xia Xining boasted, "I can also forge ninth-tier magic weapons. Keep up the good work, and when we get back I'll upgrade your natal swords and natal magic weapons, making your natal swords as indestructible as solidified slime."
"real?"
"Of course, and the odor will dissipate after the materials have been processed."
Now that things had come to this point, the group of people were like they'd been injected with adrenaline, nimbly leaping and bounding around while holding their storage bags.
Without the slime, the monster can only generate new slime, but the new slime will also be collected by this group of people.
Gradually, the monster's rate of producing new slime slowed down, and the slime covering its body began to decrease. Originally, the thickness after solidification was close to ten centimeters, but now the thickness after solidification is less than one centimeter.
"Now!" Song Yin reminded everyone.
Shi Heming and the others put away their storage bags and picked up their weapons again to attack the monster.
Prolonged production of slime had rendered the monsters unable to move, as producing slime required a great deal of energy; the slime was both their strongest defense and their most powerful weapon. Now, without defense or weapon, the monsters were like lambs to the slaughter, and they all began to retreat.
The monster at the very front had already started to retreat, and its movement caused the other monsters to slowly retreat as well.
But Song Yin wouldn't give them the option to escape. She pressed her advantage and was the first to charge ahead. The Qingyang Sword moved with unstoppable force, its sharp energy piercing towards the monster's head.
Click—
The monster's defenses were breached by the Qingyang Sword, and with no obstruction, the Qingyang Sword pierced through the monster's head with silky smoothness.
Before the monster could even groan, it swayed and fell to the side the moment Song Yin drew her sword. With a loud thud, it seemed to smash a large crater into the ground.
Witnessing the death of their companions, the remaining monsters finally realized that the people in front of them were not the demons they had encountered before. They were not afraid of their slime and could exhaust it for a long time.
The monster at the very back of the line turned around and ran forward in an instant, and the other monsters followed suit and ran away.
The Blood Demon Cave's second space is vast, but there's only one path. No matter which way they rush, they'll eventually be blocked by the door on the third floor.
"Chase!" Song Yin gave a brief order, and everyone, including Chu Tang and Xia Xining, charged forward.
Mo You was dumbfounded; this group had left without warning. Not wanting to fall behind, he quickly chased after them.
He chased after them until he stopped just before the third-floor gate. The sight of flashing swords and clashing blades dazzled him. The moves were clearly common sword techniques, lacking any colorful flashes, yet each one sent chills down Mo You's spine.
Even a simple sword strike from them can unleash an overwhelming force, enough to leave their prey breathless.
Then look at Song Yin, whom he cares about most. Her swordsmanship is different from others. It is as if she created her own moves. It is mysterious and unpredictable. You can never guess what the next move will be. It is also extremely flexible and can change the next move at any time. No matter how she changes, it is very smooth and the power is not diminished at all.
The monster's slime attack was ineffective, and it tried to whip Song Yin with its tail, but she slashed off its tail. The monster cried out in pain and opened its mouth to tear at Song Yin. In the blink of an eye, Song Yin disappeared before the monster's eyes. The monster didn't even have time to react and look for the missing person before it was lifeless. After falling to the ground, it was finished off by Song Yin, its body separated from its head.
Mo You finally felt a real sense of admiration for the disciples of the Immortal Firmament Sect.
Why do the disciples of the Immortal Firmament Sect speak so eloquently about Elder Song? Why can't even the most stubborn and rebellious members hide their admiration when they mention Elder Song? Why do other elders speak of Elder Song with such appreciation and even a hint of awe? Why...?
It was an admiration for absolute power that made the older generation have to admit it and made the younger generation unconsciously follow in her footsteps.
Once the monster's defenses were broken, there was no need to worry about the rest of the battle. Song Yin even taught Chu Tang in actual combat.
"Let me demonstrate a few more moves, watch carefully."
Chu Tang observed and learned in actual combat, and immediately applied what he learned to the battle. Under high tension, his concentration also improved dramatically, which made Chu Tang's progress soar.
Seeing this, Shen Yuzhu and the other sword cultivators were eager to try it themselves; they also liked teaching disciples who learned so quickly.
Shen Yuzhu said to Chu Tang, "I'll teach you a few moves too. Once you learn them, they're yours."
Chu Tang twisted and spun, then lightly touched the ground with her toes and leaped onto the monster's back to dodge its attack, decisively severing its head. Like her master, she was accustomed to beheading enemies or prey to ensure they were completely dead. A clear case of lineage, she was undoubtedly Song Yin's disciple.
Upon hearing Shen Yuzhu's words, Chu Tang diverted a portion of her divine sense to Shen Yuzhu's side. Sensing Chu Tang's divine sense, Shen Yuzhu immediately unleashed several swift and decisive sword techniques.
"Did you write it down?" Shen Yuzhu asked.
Chu Tang: "I've got it." Facing the next monster, she took the initiative to imitate Shen Yuzhu's moves, barely managing to use one-fifth of their power.
Seeing that he could use one-fifth of the technique after just one look, Shen Yuzhu felt a great sense of accomplishment, believing that he had a talent for teaching and could teach the younger generation after just one lesson.
Han Wuyue continued, "Chu Tang, watch my moves."
Chu Tang focused her consciousness on Han Wuyue: "Okay."
Not to be outdone, Ling Zixian waited until Chu Tang had learned a few moves from Han Wuyue before saying, "Chu Tang, I'll teach you a few powerful sword techniques as well."
Chu Tang: "Okay."
Song Yin gradually slowed down her sword strikes. Instead of quickly killing the monsters, she intentionally left these prey for her only apprentice to practice on.
Song Yin: "I'm telling you, that's enough. Xiao Tang is my apprentice. If she learns something wrong, I'll settle the score with you later."
Shen Yuzhu: "Junior sister, don't worry. What we teach is not the inherited sword technique, but the essence summarized from all the sword moves in history, which can be used in any sword technique."
Shi Heming is a dual cultivator of talismans and arrays, while Xia Xining is a cultivator of weapons. Their swordsmanship is mediocre, and they are not qualified to teach each other swordsmanship.
The atmosphere during the lesson was so engaging that the two of them couldn't help but be tempted. Xia Xining directly asked Song Yin, "Why don't you have Xiao Tang come here to learn some weapon crafting from me in the future?"
As Song Yin's Daoist partner and Chu Tang's grandmaster, Shi Heming said, "You can learn talismanic arts or formations, which are useful in both combat and daily life."
Song Yin: "Hey, hey, hey, that's enough, this is my disciple, he will only learn alchemy and swordsmanship at most."
Even during the battle, Chu Tang remained focused and firmly uttered an "Mmm," demonstrating her very clear stance.
They didn't kill the monsters after that. Instead, they let Chu Tang kill one and then release another. In the end, Chu Tang killed the most monsters.
Among the group, Chu Tang was the most exhausted.
Until the last monster was beheaded, Chu Tang gripped his sword, bracing himself on the ground, panting heavily, his killing intent lingering around him.
The monster's corpses had already filled every corner of the second floor.
Seeing this, Mo You moved a few steps to the side. Those who knew them would think they were training the next generation of the Immortal Firmament Sect, but those who didn't would think they were training the future God of Slaughter of the Immortal Firmament Sect.
Chu Tang knew she couldn't slow the group down, so she immediately took out a pill and swallowed it. After a few breaths, she sheathed her sword and jogged happily to Song Yin's side. "Master, I'm ready. Let's continue."
Song Yin patted her head and praised her generously, "You did a fantastic job."
Chu Tang squinted slightly, enjoying her master's pats, like a big cat enjoying its owner's caresses.
Mo You had already reached the door and said to everyone, "I'm opening the door."
The door was no longer a heavy door. It was small, only big enough for one person to pass through. It was an ordinary wooden door, not even made of fancy materials, and had no carvings or patterns. It was nothing special.
With everyone agreeing, Mo You pushed open the door.
The door opened, revealing a dark passageway where you couldn't see your hand in front of your face.
They were not afraid of the darkness ahead and continued forward in their original formation.
After walking for a few minutes, this time there really was nothing there.
"Is there really nothing this time?" Song Yin asked uncertainly.
The others didn't dare to jinx it, and they continued walking for a while, but there was nothing but darkness.
Mo You: "It seems there really isn't one. We drew the easiest way to pass this level."
Song Yin: "Keep moving forward."
They walked in the darkness for what seemed like an eternity, as if several hours had passed.
There was nothing in the darkness, and the silence was terrifying. This kind of environment should have been quite torturous, but they walked together in a group, chattering away, saying whatever came to mind.
The lively chatter naturally dispelled the silence and loneliness. And their various methods of lighting, though insufficient to illuminate the entire area, easily provided light for a group of people and guided them on their way.
Finally, a different scene appeared in the endless darkness, resembling an altar.
Upon seeing the altar, Mo You excitedly rushed out, "We're here! We've arrived! This is the end of the third level. Standing on this altar and bathing in the blessings of the Demon Realm will grant a reward to all beings who receive this blessing."
Song Yin and the others did not hesitate and stepped onto the altar.
The words "a gift from the demon realm" lingered in Song Yin's mind. It wasn't a gift from gods, nor from demons, but rather a gift from a world. The word "world" entered her ears, striking a chord in the soul of every living being.
Regardless of race, as long as you are a living being in this world, you can receive the world's selfless blessings.
It's an indescribable feeling; all the fatigue is swept away, the body feels lighter, and the strength within increases rather than decreases.
They were bathed in the world's blessings on the altar, and a beam of white light burst forth from the altar beneath their feet, piercing through the dark red of the Blood Demon Cave.
The demons who remained outside all turned their gaze toward the beam of light.
Mo Ying smiled unconsciously: "They succeeded."
The eldest prince, Mo Jin, curled his lip and scoffed.
The princes who arrived later also expressed their dissatisfaction and regret, wondering why they hadn't perished inside. Wouldn't it have been better if they had disappeared into the Blood Demon Cave like before?
Mo Ying waved her hand and ordered her subordinates surrounding the Blood Demon Cave, "Come with me to the Blood Demon Pool."
Those who leave the Blood Demon Cave will be automatically teleported to the Blood Demon Pool, but those guarding outside will need to travel a considerable distance.
Because Mo Ying was keeping order outside, the princes dared not make a move. Since Mo Ying and Mo Jin didn't act, the other princes also dared not act.
Song Yin and the others, who were enveloped in white light, were directly teleported from Guangzhong to another location.
Splash—splash—
The sound of the water lapping against the shore reached their ears.
