The Venerable Monster Tamer – Chapter 354

Section 75: One Slash!

By Gu Zhenren, February 9, 2013

The Innate Drunken Snow Saber, peerless in its sharpness, aided Chu Yun in cleaving through the dense swarm of locusts, breaking through their obstruction, and pursuing Dongyin Bi Miaoshe.

Dongyin was sweating profusely, revealing an undisguised panic. He had never expected Chu Yun and the others to possess such a seemingly endless array of tactics that put him at a disadvantage, leaving him with almost no ability to retaliate.

“I’m not reconciled! How can I die here? Die at the hands of a junior like you?! Cede Duke Passionate King’s treasure to you?” Dongyin cried out in a hysterical rage.

As if he had lost everything but still wished to turn the tables, like a gambler, he gritted his teeth and produced a pill.

“Dragon-Tiger Strength Elixir, it’s really time to use you,” a decisive glint flashed in his eyes. Without hesitation, he swallowed the marble-sized pill.

As soon as it entered his mouth, the pill dissolved into a molten, scorching medicinal current that flowed down his throat. In an instant, it coursed through his internal organs and meridians.

*Bang, bang, bang!*

His heartbeat instantly intensified, becoming urgent like a war drum. Simultaneously, his entire blood supply began to flow at an unprecedented speed.

Soon, Dongyin’s body began to swell at a visible rate. He grew five inches taller, his muscles bulged, his hair bristled, his skin became feverish, and his eyes turned blood red.

*Boom!*

A colossal spiritual pressure erupted from Dongyin’s body, shaking Heaven and Earth, eclipsing the sun and moon, and silencing all of creation.

“How is this possible? He was clearly a Jun level expert, how did he suddenly become Marquis level in strength?!” Xiao Xiaoxian’s expression shifted drastically, his mind and body shaken.

“What pill did he consume, to be able to enhance his body, soul, and spiritual light to such an extent in such a short time?” Jin Bihan murmured in disbelief.

The gap between a Marquis level expert and a Jun level expert was immense. Yet, Dongyin had only taken a single pill to bridge this vast chasm and temporarily advance to Marquis level.

The medicinal effect was simply inconceivable!

The radiance of the Myriad Miles Solo Trekker Boots stabilized. The spiritual pressure of a Marquis level was too powerful; it was on an entirely different plane from Jun level. Furthermore, the Myriad Miles Solo Trekker Boots were a Tribulation Demon, and the Spirit Snake’s cultivation was somewhat weak, making it impossible to affect their connection any longer.

It wasn’t just the Myriad Miles Solo Trekker Boots. At this moment, Dongyin’s control over the other demonic creatures also reached an unprecedented level of proficiency, almost hitting its peak.

The Azure Nether Locust swarm flew through the sky, moving with exceptional dexterity. The Five Shades Weasel was also awakened from its dream by Dongyin’s spiritual light fluctuations.

Jin Bihan’s face paled. The Illusionary Immortal Dreamscape had to collapse under the impact of the Marquis level spiritual pressure, causing a backlash that even shook her soul.

Although the Illusionary Immortal Dreamscape was a powerful Divine Path Technique, Jin Bihan’s spiritual light was only at the Hegemon level, a vast difference from a Marquis level expert, making the gap difficult to bridge.

Not only that, but the demonic creatures held by Chu Yun and the other two were also subjected to the pressure of the Marquis level spiritual aura. Their fighting spirit weakened, and their combat power was significantly affected.

Dongyin panted, looking down at the three of them, and sneered, “Hehehe, to force me to consume the Dragon-Tiger Strength Elixir, you are truly remarkable! A bunch of brats, did you really think you could overturn the heavens? I will make you wish you were dead!”

Thinking of the severe side effects of consuming this pill, an intense hatred and fury filled his entire being.

His eyes blazed with a desire to incinerate Chu Yun and the other two, to torture them to death.

“Azure Nether Locusts!” With a flick of his finger, the locust swarm buzzed and split into three streams. Like three azure dragons, they attacked Chu Yun, Jin Bihan, and Xiao Xiaoxian respectively.

Moreover, every six Spirit Monsters within the locust swarm formed a battle formation. The three streams of locusts each contained dozens of these battle formations. These fortified battle formations immediately increased the combat power of the locust swarm by five to six times!

Some of Jin Bihan and Xiao Xiaoxian’s Dao techniques were absorbed into the fortified battle formations, disappearing without a trace. The locust swarm, almost unscathed, continued to charge towards them.

With Dongyin’s previous Jun level spiritual light, he could not have commanded the locust swarm in such a manner. But with the Marquis level spiritual light, his intelligence ascended to another level, allowing him to control the locust swarm with ease, even having surplus energy!

“I will make sure you die without a whole corpse!” His face contorted with murderous intent.

“You have pills, do you think I don’t? Heaven Burst Pill!” As Dongyin produced a pill, Chu Yun took out a whole bottle.

The Heaven Burst Pill was extremely difficult to refine, with a success rate of less than ten percent. Even with the Immortal Consorts’ help, it was only thirty percent, and the cost was exorbitant.

However, Chu Yun was not worried; with the Little Bun as his backing, the success rate of refining any pill was one hundred percent.

With a flick of his wrist, he produced seven Heaven Burst Pills.

“Five Virtues Wheel, Sky Crane!” he called out crisply. The Sky Crane flew over and swallowed a pill. The Five Virtues Wheel rotated like a millstone, grinding the remaining six Heaven Burst Pills into Dan Qi, which it completely absorbed.

The Heaven Burst Pill was incredibly miraculous, capable of temporarily promoting a Peak Spirit Monster to the combat strength of a Tribulation Demon. However, the demonic creature’s spiritual light remained at the Spirit Monster level.

To Dongyin’s astonished gaze, Chu Yun transformed into the Five Virtues Giant, standing ten feet tall and radiating immense power. The Five Virtues Wheel formed a halo behind his head, the Sky Crane circled around him, and the colossal Drunken Snow Saber emanated terrifyingly cold saber energy.

“Void Collapse!” Chu Yun uttered softly, yet his voice resonated like rolling thunder throughout the entire space.

The Innate Drunken Snow Saber, as large as a light warship, flew out and unleashed an immensely powerful saber light. With a single slash, the fortified battle formations shattered like layers of glass. The violent saber wind swept everything, surging forward.

The dense black locust swarm was instantly wiped out in large swathes. Less than ten percent of the Azure Nether Locusts remained.

“So you are the Little Tyrant!” Dongyin finally recognized Chu Yun’s identity. The Five Virtues True Body and the Sky Fox were both Chu Yun’s distinctive marks.

“Hmph! Offending me, no matter who you are, you will die!” He patted his Immortal Pouch again, releasing a large ape, an eight-hundred-thousand-year Tribulation Demon. It transformed into its original form, as massive as a small mountain, the same height as the Five Virtues True Body.

This ape was none other than the Riot Ape.

“Smash him for me,” Dongyin commanded, and the Riot Ape, along with the Five Shades Weasel, lunged forward simultaneously, attacking Chu Yun.

The Riot Ape roared, shaking the earth. It activated its Dao techniques, its entire body shimmering with golden light, and swung its fists, smashing them fiercely towards Chu Yun.

At the same time, the Five Shades Weasel wagged its five tails, targeting Chu Yun and trapping him in a mire of light and shadow, making evasion impossible.

But Chu Yun had no intention of dodging.

The Five Virtues Giant snorted coldly, raised the Drunken Snow Saber, and brought it down with a mighty swing.

The Riot Ape’s fists, incredibly powerful, shattered the air, and landed squarely on the Five Virtues True Body. The attack was indeed extraordinary, causing the halo behind Chu Yun’s head to waver.

However, Chu Yun’s Drunken Snow Saber sliced into the Riot Ape’s body. its defensive Dao technique immediately collapsed upon encountering the Dao Transformation technique. After only a slight obstruction, the saber cut through it like tofu, splitting the Riot Ape in half instantly!

Instantly, blood splashed, revealing flesh and bone.

“How could this be?!” Dongyin was dumbfounded!

He had sensed the terrifying power of the Drunken Snow Saber’s attack, but he had never imagined it would be this horrifying!

Watching the Riot Ape, which didn’t even let out a scream before being instantly killed, his mouth hung open, and his eyes nearly bulged out of their sockets, as if he had seen a ghost.

This was a Tribulation Demon-grade Riot Ape!

A master of close combat, a great vajra, coupled with a Supreme grade Dao technique, perfectly integrated offense and defense, a ferocious beast of the mortal world!

And it was killed just like that?!

After the shock, a chill rose from the depths of Dongyin’s heart and rapidly spread throughout his body. He felt an icy coldness, as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

The powerful sensation he felt after consuming the Dragon-Tiger Strength Elixir now seemed so illusory.

His burning battle spirit and his raging flames of revenge instantly plummeted to the freezing point.

He was afraid!

With a single slash, Chu Yun had not only slain the Riot Ape but also extinguished all of his fighting spirit.

“You, you, you! Don’t come any closer!” He activated the Myriad Miles Solo Trekker Boots and retreated explosively again, wishing he were a hundred thousand miles away from Chu Yun.

“Didn’t you want to make me wish I were dead?” Chu Yun snorted coldly and took a step forward. The Sky Crane let out a cry, enabling the Five Virtues Giant to cross a hundred feet in an instant, appearing before Dongyin.

“Marquis Wu Chang, save me!” Dongyin threw out his last trump card.

This was actually a miniature Gem Secret Passage! It was the same type of Demonic Soldier as the one the Ten Thousand Poisons Queen had given Chu Yun.

“Dream on!” Chu Yun, inspired in a moment of crisis, summoned the Moon Rabbit and the Golden Jade Immortal Butterfly.

The Tribulation Demon-grade Moon Rabbit targeted the Gem Secret Passage, slowing down time. The Golden Jade Immortal Butterfly then activated the Illusionary Immortal Dreamscape, dragging Dongyin into a dream.

The battle situation shifted in an instant, but Chu Yun stubbornly seized the opportunity and expanded it.

He then used the Spirit Snake. The Gem Secret Passage, which had just shown signs of opening, immediately had its light dissipate and quietly fell into his hand.

By the time Dongyin forcefully broke free from the dream using his Marquis level spiritual pressure, the tide had already turned decisively.

“You actually have a time-manipulating demonic beast, and you could take my Gem Secret Passage!? No, this is impossible!!!” He was beyond shocked, spitting out a mouthful of heart blood, and fell backward. Unable to withstand the blow, he had fainted.

Without his command, the battle immediately became one-sided. Jin Bihan and Xiao Xiaoxian broke through first and cooperated with Chu Yun to clean up the battlefield.

The Five Shades Weasel, the Myriad Miles Solo Trekker Boots, the Azure Nether Locust swarm, and the Azure Nether Gourd were all enveloped in treasure light, their cultivation sealed layer by layer, and then suppressed by the Demon Suppressing Pagoda.

Dongyin’s three accompanying Immortal Pouches, containing the vials of two Dragon-Tiger Strength Elixirs, were also confiscated.

In addition, there were a large number of Demonic Crystals. Most of them were dropped by the fallen Azure Nether Locusts. There was also a Demonic Crystal, dark as ink and exceptionally large – it was the Riot Ape’s Tribulation Demon Crystal.

These Demonic Crystals, piled up like a small mountain, belonged almost entirely to the Drunken Snow Saber. In this battle, the Drunken Snow Saber had displayed unparalleled offensive prowess, unleashing its attack power to a terrifying degree.

“Absorb them!” Chu Yun plunged the Drunken Snow Saber into the pile of Demonic Crystals, beginning to absorb their essence.

The Drunken Snow Saber’s cultivation began to soar.
