Chapter 203: Taking Advantage of the Situation
Shen Xiang strolled around Frost Sword City and bought a map. The map was of some mountains near Frost Sword City. He compared it with the map that Elder Qin gave him and found that the routes were very different. Although they could both lead to the vein of minerals, the roads were different. The road on the map that Elder Qin gave him was farther and had to take a long detour. The map he bought was very close and it was also a main road.
"It seems that Elder Tan really wants to trick me!" Shen Xiang sneered secretly in his heart.
"Take advantage of the situation and kill those people who are lying in ambush on the road." Shen Xiang walked out of Frost Sword City and followed the route on the map that Elder Tan gave him.
After entering a forest, they found a path there. Shen Xiang could see that the path had just been opened up, which made him even more certain that Elder Qin had colluded with the Demonic Sect to plot against him.
The strongest guy in the Lu family is in the magic sect, and that guy also taught Lu Zhengnan martial arts, so the Lu family has always had dealings with the magic sect. It is not impossible for them to join forces to plot against him.
Shen Xiang did not follow the path, but moved forward very cautiously near the path, while asking Long Xueyi to pay attention to the surrounding situation.
After a while, Long Xueyi suddenly shouted, "I sensed a breath. Although this guy has been restraining himself, I can still sense it. He is a much stronger guy than you."
Chen Xiang was shocked and asked, "What strength? Where is he?"
"He should be at the fifth stage of the Zhenwu Realm. His strength mainly comes from his true qi, which is extremely yang and strong, and also carries a strong sense of hostility." Long Xueyi said: "This guy is hiding underground. He should be a person who is good at assassination."
If a Zhenwu Realm fifth stage attacker launches a sneak attack on Shen Xiang, it would be very dangerous indeed.
"It should be the Mo Yang Qi of the Mo Yang Sect. Among the demonic sects, the Mo Yang Sect has the same status as the Tai Wu Sect. It is considered a very powerful sect. Although the demonic sects have had many conflicts with the righteous sects, they rarely occupy the mineral veins of the righteous sects like this. Does this mean that the resources of the Mozhou are about to be exhausted?" Bai Youyou said doubtfully.
Although the area of ??Demon State is not small, there are several large demonic sects and other small sects. Although they all follow the path of magic, their requirements for resources are also very high.
"To kill or not to kill?" Shen Xiang asked Su Meiyao and the others for their opinions.
"Don't kill him, swallow him up!" Bai Youyou smiled coldly, causing Shen Xiang to tremble violently. He used the Devouring Magic Skill to swallow him up, and it was the Devouring Magic Skill that swallowed up the fifth stage of the True Martial Realm.
"Your physical condition is very good now, and your body can hold a large amount of true energy, so you don't have to worry about exploding!" Bai Youyou said.
Shen Xiang nodded. He was now at the second stage of the Zhenwu Realm, but his strength was close to the fourth stage of the Zhenwu Realm. The difference between him and the Zhenwu Realm was not too big. He could use the Devouring Magic Skill. Moreover, this was a wilderness area with no other people. The other party was a villain from a demonic sect, making him a good target for using the Devouring Magic Skill.
"Although the Devouring Demonic Art cannot be seen in public, don't waste it when you can use it!" Bai Youyou said.
Shen Xiang nodded, and walked carefully in the direction Long Xueyi pointed. He jumped lightly on the trees without making any sound.
The disciple of the Mo Yang Sect was hiding underground, relying mainly on hearing to determine whether someone was approaching. If Shen Xiang was on the tree, that person would not be able to hear him.
"It's right down there. He's lying there, but there's a thin layer of mud covering him. You should be able to poke it in with one claw." Long Xueyi said.
Shen Xiang released his spiritual sense and soon discovered that there was a person buried under the path. The true energy in his body was very strong and very active, and that true energy was also ready to move, like a tiger ready to pounce.
A layer of transparent Qi appeared on Shen Xiang's palm. This was the Xuan Gang Finger, and he used the Qian Kun Qi. At the same time, he practiced Tai Chi Dragon Subduing Technique, restraining all his breath. He jumped lightly and fell from the air. One hand was pointed straight at the ground, with five fingers together, like a sharp cone, stabbing at the place where the man was lying.
The place that Shen Xiang aimed at was the place where the man's true energy was the strongest, that is, the man's dantian. Not to mention the soft soil, even the rigid iron plate could be easily penetrated by his five Xuan Gang fingers. If there was no very powerful spiritual weapon, the man would definitely be pierced.
When Shen Xiang's palm stabbed down, the ground moved slightly. The man seemed to notice it, but it was too late, because Shen Xiang could feel something hot after his hand penetrated the soil.
It was a strong and powerful true energy. Shen Xiang immediately activated the Devouring Magic Skill. The violent and strong true energy immediately flowed into his body from the meridians in his arms. He absorbed it very quickly, and the man also emerged from the ground, but his abdomen was pierced by Shen Xiang's palm.
This was a middle-aged man with ordinary looks, his face full of pain and fear. He only felt the true energy in his dantian constantly draining away, and at the same time a numbing and painful force surged into his body, paralyzing his nerves and making him weak all over.
"You...you are Shen Xiang!" The man squeezed out these words from between his teeth.
Shen Xiang did not answer, concentrating on suppressing the violent true energy that entered his body. The man soon realized that Shen Xiang had already discovered his ambush here.
"Why do you know!" the man asked with difficulty. He couldn't figure it out. He was very confident in his ability to hide.
Shen Xiang still did not answer, and madly extracted the man's true energy. The man's body gradually shriveled up, but he did not die.
"I know about the alliance between Elder Qin of Taiwu Sect and the insiders. I have obtained your power, and I will make you die knowingly. I have known that someone would ambush me here, so I will take advantage of their strategy." Shen Xiang sneered.
The man had a face full of resentment, but his eyes revealed a kind of envy. He was very envious of the kind of martial arts that could absorb the true energy of others, which was something that the evil sects very much yearned for.
"Since you like hiding on the ground so much, then just hide well!" Shen Xiang laughed, and killed the man with a palm, burning him to ashes, and finally covered him with soil.
After swallowing the fifth stage of true qi in the Zhenwu realm, Shen Xiang had to find a place to digest it quickly. Although there was a lot of true qi, he could only get about 30% to 40% after refining it. Because there were a lot of impurities in the true qi, Shen Xiang had to refine it many times and make it very pure before he could integrate it into the five beast statues.
Three days later, Shen Xiang woke up. Originally, each of his beast statues only lit up fifteen true essence grains, but now all of them lit up seventeen, a total increase of ten. Although the person he devoured had strong true energy, not much of it was finally absorbed into his body.
After waking up, he continued to walk towards the place where the mineral vein was. After walking for more than half an hour, he suddenly heard a very familiar voice.
"It's Youlan's voice!" Shen Xiang was delighted and quickened his pace.
