Chapter 263
263 My father makes me proud
The wood Dragon tightly wrapped around the Eagle and bit down on the Eagle’s neck. It twisted its body with all its might, as if it wanted to strangle Yin Liang to death.
Yin Liang was also using all his strength to control the flames, wanting to burn the wood Dragon to death.
This was a battle of pure cultivation.
Lu Qing relied on his powerful cultivation techniques, his unique strength attribute, the powerful effects of the ‘heaven guarding Life spell’, his two magical powers, his sacred body, and his heavenly spirit root. Even if they were three levels apart, he would be able to fight evenly with his opponent.
During the bloody battle, Lu Qing’s actual body quietly emerged from a part of the wood Dragon.
Without the protection of the wood Dragon, the flames on the fire Falcon’s body were able to burn Lu Qing’s body.
However, the power wasn’t concentrated, so it didn’t affect him much. Yin Liang didn’t even notice when he appeared.
He endured the damage and crossed his hands in front of his chest. His true essence began to surge.
Lu Qing did have a chance of winning if he were to compete with Yin Liang in terms of power reserves. However, to be honest, it was not 100%. Yin Liang, who was a half-step to the nascent soul realm, also had his own Foundation. According to Lu Qing’s own estimation, he had a 65% chance of winning.
However, even if he won, he would probably be in a terrible state.
Lu Qing did not want that to happen.
Cultivators could compete in many other things besides their cultivation.
He, who had poked his head out, was casting another spell.
After a while, Yin Liang also felt that something was wrong-the true essence of the human cultivator he was fighting was flowing abnormally. At the same time, he also noticed that a small shadow had darkened on the horizon.
Even though he did not know what Lu Qing was doing, he instinctively felt that something was not right.
However, what could they do?
Yin Liang could not figure out how Lu Qing had managed to pull out his hand and cast a curse no matter how hard he racked his brain. In his opinion, the battle between the two had already entered the stage where victory and defeat were decided. It was like a tug-of-war between two people. When both sides were evenly matched, whoever could hold on to the last breath would win.
He was gritting his teeth and holding on desperately, but he saw that the other side could actually free up his hands to do something else.
In this great sense of absurdity, a sense of fear arose spontaneously.
He couldn’t relax at all, or he felt like he would be strangled to death by the wood Dragon. Since that was the case, he really had no way to deal with Lu Qing, who had left the wood Dragon and came out to cast spells alone.
Lu Qing’s expenditure of true origin and the amount of energy he put in was no less than Yin Liang’s. He had to use a lot of energy to prevent Yin Liang’s Giant Eagle from escaping.
However, if it was about mental strength, it would actually be better.
After all, it was his Dragon Soul that was fighting the giant Eagle, not him.
Moreover, the power he extracted from lang Yun’s body had also replenished his strength, allowing him to pull out his hand and cast a spell.
And this magical technique originated from the ‘ancient rising star technique’, a technique called’ falling star’.
In his bright vision, the small shadow that appeared in the sky became bigger and bigger. Then, the cloud was split open, and what fell from it was a meteorite with Starlight!
The meteorite was about the size of a house, and it had a long silver tail, which was very beautiful.
Yin Liang could sense a very strong and special power from it.
He began to struggle with all his might, letting out a series of cries.
Lu Qing’s expression changed. It was already very difficult to maintain the wood Dragon and the meteorite at the same time. Now that Yin Liang had started to struggle with all his might, Lu Qing’s energy consumption naturally increased.
However, this was an extremely crucial moment. Lu Qing would not let his guard down.
He unconsciously let out a loud roar, madly squeezing out every bit of energy in his body. At the same time, through the power of the star God, he was able to connect with the stars in the sky and extract lang Jie’s demonic power more forcefully.
This time, Lu Qing had already used all his strength!
The meteorite seemed to be Falling Slowly, but it was actually falling very quickly. During this process, even though the flaming Falcon struggled with all its might, and even managed to push away the wood Dragon that was coiling around its body, it was still unable to break free.
At the moment the meteor fell, the wood Dragon suddenly released a piece of the meteor, allowing the meteor to hit the flaming Falcon’s body firmly without affecting itself.
Yin Liang took advantage of this opportunity to break free from the wood Dragon’s restraint.
However, it was too late.” The meteorite still hit him hard!
In fact, although the falling meteorite was not small, it was not as big as the giant Eagle or the wood Dragon. However, during the process of falling from the sky, the power accumulated and the power of the stars condensed within it would be quite a feast.
The star power that Lu Qing had mastered had always had one characteristic: Penetrating defense.
The attribute of star power itself had a very strong penetrating effect. In addition, it was very rare, even a power attribute that was lost in the current immortal cultivation world, so there was no targeted defense method.
The flaming feathers around Yin Liang could resist the wood Dragon’s pressure and the wood-elemental Power’s erosion of his life force, but they could not resist the star power.
The falling meteorite smashed Yin Liang’s huge body to the ground.
The star power that had invaded his body started to burn under Lu Qing’s will. This silver-green flame was like a drop of ink being dripped into a large ball of pure water. It was only a small piece at first, but it quickly expanded as if it was stained with ink.
Moreover, apart from purely damaging the enemy, the spell ‘meteorite’ also had the effect of returning a part of the star power to the caster after hitting the enemy.
This special effect had been further strengthened after the star rising art and the good fortune book had been combined with the wood attribute.
The sparks of Starlight seemed to have been driven by an invisible wind and floated toward Lu Qing.
At that moment, Lu Qing could feel that the meridians in his body, which had almost dried up, were filled up by star power again.
To Lu Qing, who had the sacred body of stars, star power was no different from true origin. They were both power attributes that he could use directly.
After receiving this replenishment, Lu Qing’s strength increased greatly, and he had even more capital to fight again.
The wood Dragon roared at the sky under his instructions and swooped down to bite the giant Eagle. Lu Qing’s eyes, which were as bright as stars, shone brightly.
His eyes were no longer bloodshot after his evolution, but his ability to control flames was still there, and it had become even more powerful. The silver-green astral wood flames burning on the giant Eagle’s body instantly became much more intense, and they spread even more fiercely.
Yin Liang’s resistance had clearly decreased after being hit by the meteorite.
If one were to take into account the damage that could be dealt in an instant, the strongest move that Lu Qing had was this ‘meteor’.
Of course, Yin Liang wasn’t dead yet, but he was seriously injured by this solid smash.
After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, half of the giant Eagle’s body was already covered in the Starwood fire.
Yin Liang was still struggling, but the strength of his struggle was getting weaker and weaker.
And at this time, lang Yun was already unable to draw out any strength.
This Great Demon King, who had dominated the North barren forest for hundreds of years, was burned alive by Lu Qing just like that. His life force and demonic energy were extracted, and he died.
After lang Luan died, Lu Qing withdrew his hand and cast his art again. Another meteorite fell from the sky.
Yin Liang hadn’t even been able to Dodge the previous one, let alone now.
After being bitten by the wood Dragon, covered by the green fire, having his life force and demonic power extracted, and then being hit by the second meteorite, Yin Liang really couldn’t take it anymore.
The speed at which the fire of the Starwood covered his entire body increased rapidly. In a very short time, it had already covered two-thirds of his body.
However, for the last part, Yin Liang still persevered for a long time. Lu Qing spent the time it took for an incense stick to burn before he managed to completely cover his opponent’s body with the fire of the Starwood.
Then, the fire Hawk that had turned into a silver-green color gradually shrank in size for a period of time, as if it was gradually being burned out until it was completely dry.
Yin Liang was also dead.
……
The moment Yin Liang was hit by the first meteorite, the demon Army below had already begun to shake.
They weren’t stupid. Even if they hadn’t reached that level, they could still see who had the upper hand when they saw the two demon kings on their side. One was being used as a large charging battery, the other was being strangled by a wood Dragon, and was even smashed down from the sky by a meteor.
The demon race was still quite different from humans.
At times, they were fiercer and more courageous than human cultivators, but they were indeed lacking in organization and discipline.
Furthermore, even the disciplined human army might not be able to withstand the current situation.
With the two demon kings at a disadvantage in the war, some of the smarter demons had already begun to escape.
When lang Yun was completely killed and half of his body was covered in the silver-blue flame, more and more monsters started to run away.
However, during this process, Lu Qing did not have the time to care about them. The remaining one to two hundred human cultivators could only huddle together at most and did not dare to attack randomly. They could only let the demonic beasts escape.
By the time Yin Liang was completely dead, more than half of the thousands of demons had already fled. The remaining demons were obviously not in the mood to continue fighting. Lu Qing casually scattered some Starwood fire and burned a few level-two demonic beasts to death before they all fled.
Lu Qing did not waste his energy to chase after them. It was meaningless.
He quickly went down first and put lang Yun’s body and Yin Liang’s body that had been burned dry together.
Lu Qing felt that it was a pity as he looked at their broken bodies. If they were intact, he would be able to get a lot of valuable materials from the two peak level four demon kings to make magic tools.
For example, the feathers of the demonic Eagles could be made into fire-type magical equipment, or simply sewn into a very, very good Daoist robe. The Mantis demon’s blade could even be made into a magic sword.
However, Yin Liang’s death was too miserable, and he couldn’t find any suitable feathers.
The Mantis demon lang Yi’s two Mantis blades were still intact, but the burn marks were too obvious. It was likely that their quality had been greatly affected. Even if it could be made into a magic tool in the end, its effect would be greatly reduced.
Lu Qing did not have a choice.
He didn’t want to fight like this and make the spoils of war look better so that they could be worth a lot of money. However, there was nothing he could do about it. With his strength, he had no chance of holding back in the battle just now.
It was already good enough that they won, so why would they care about the subsequent spoils of war?
However, even if the Mantis blade could only be made into a level three Mystic artifact, it would still be worth a few thousand spirit stones.
Of course, after the two monster Kings died, the greatest wealth they left behind was their monster cores. Compared to the demonic core, the other things were all insignificant.
The demonic cores left behind by a level four peak demonic beast King were enough for two cultivators at the peak of the initial enlightenment stage to refine an external elixir and help them break through to the Golden core stage.
For a cultivator at the peak of initial enlightenment to try to break through to the Golden core stage, he would need to prepare at least a hundred thousand spirit stones of all kinds of natural treasures. Some people with outstanding talent, good cultivation techniques, or deep accumulation, or some people who were really lucky and happened to walk the right path, could succeed in one try. However, the probability of this was extremely low. It was much lower than the probability of Qi refining cultivators breaking through to the foundation establishment stage without doing anything.
Normally, cultivators at the peak of the initial enlightenment stage had to fail at least three times before they could slowly figure out the key to breaking through.
In this aspect, the guidance of the seniors was of course useful. However, the situation that everyone faced was related to their own cultivation, their own talent, their own experiences and personalities. It was definitely different. Those experiences could only be used as a reference and could not be blindly copied.
Two or three failures meant a waste of hundreds of thousands of spirit stones. Moreover, every failure would also bring some damage to the cultivator’s body. Recovering his body and soul, returning to his peak, then collecting wealth and breaking through again, this process was also a waste of time.
Moreover, the cultivation of the initial enlightenment stage was different from Qi cultivation and Foundation establishment. Many people had reached the end of their lifespans but still could not cultivate to the ninth level of the initial enlightenment stage, let alone Polish to perfection and prepare for a breakthrough.
If he failed another three or four times and started all over again, he might not be able to use his lifespan.
Often, some cultivators who had reached the peak of the ninth level of the initial enlightenment stage would feel that their remaining lifespan was not enough after failing once. It would be difficult for them to gather another sum of spirit stones to break through, so they could only give up in despair.
However, if a cultivator at the peak of the initial enlightenment stage had a golden core or a level four demonic core, he could refine it into an external elixir, and the probability of breaking through would soar.
Not to mention, the demonic core of a peak level four Demon King was of a quality that could not be compared to ordinary ones.
Either of the two pills in Lu Qing’s hands was much better than the Golden pill that Zhao Zidan had.
With these two demon cores, cultivators who broke through to the Golden core realm would not only have a high success rate, but their future cultivation path would also be much smoother. Moreover, after reaching the Golden core stage, his strength would be far stronger than that of the same level of golden core cultivators.
An Ordinary Level-four demonic core was worth at least five hundred thousand spirit stones. This kind of top-grade demonic core was worth more than eight hundred thousand spirit stones.
Lu Qing definitely had to get his hands on the demonic cores of the two demon kings.
Moreover, no one here could compete with him.
Lu Qing would definitely not sell the two demonic cores after he got his hands on them.
Only a fool would sell this thing for spirit stones.
Of course, it would be best to keep it for their own use.
He could keep them with him. When Lu chaoxi, Lu mingchao, Lu Chaohe and the others reached the peak of the initial enlightenment stage, these two demonic cores could guarantee that the Lu clan would be able to produce two golden core stage experts.
Moreover, he would be a very bright Jindan in the future. His internal combat power would be very strong at the same level, and the probability of breaking through to the Yuanying stage would also be much higher.
Mingchao was already beside him.
When his daughter was in front of him, Lu Qing used a small technique and stuffed the two golden cores into her hands.
Mingchao had just arrived, and before he could say anything, he received two items that were worth a million or a few hundred thousand Yuan. He was truly shocked.
She caught it in a hurry, and the words she wanted to say at the beginning had already been thrown to the back of her mind. She hurriedly asked, ” “Father, it’s best if you keep this for yourself, right? It is not appropriate to put it with mingchao.”
“There’s nothing wrong with it. Is there anyone who still dares to make things difficult for you now?”
Lu Qing had a calm expression on his face.
In fact, he was panicking like an old dog.
These two items were of great importance. If people knew about it, it would be easy to attract people to snatch them. Ming Chao was only in the initial enlightenment stage. Even if he had a Void Spirit root and was very good at escaping, he might not be able to protect these two things if he encountered a powerful opponent.
But Lu Qing had no other choice!
He would only be resurrected for six hours. Later on, he had to rush back to Yuyan mountain before the resurrected time ended. Otherwise, he would have to leave an unmoving corpse here once the resurrected time ended. That would be an extremely awkward situation.
He would not be able to fly back to Yuyan mountain in those six hours.
What else could he do? Now, Lu mingchao was the only member of the Lu family at the scene. If she did not give it to her, she could not give it to anyone else.
Fortunately, most people wouldn’t have thought that the two demon cores would end up in Ming Chao’s hands. A normal person’s train of thought would be that Lu Qing would personally carry the two demon cores. When he gave the demonic core to Lu Qing, he had used some techniques. There was no one around him, so Lu Qing could ensure that no one saw him. At the same time, no one could hear what they had just said.
Moreover, Lu Qing’s prestige from killing two peak-stage demon kings was still there. Who would dare to mess around?
Mingchao wisely chose not to say anything else when she saw her father’s expression.
She looked at the two monster Kings ‘corpses on the ground, her eyes still filled with shock.
Ming Chao had also watched the entire battle. The two big demon kings who had been so arrogant and overbearing before had now become two broken corpses lying on the ground. Moreover, they had died at the hands of her father. It felt like a dream.
To be honest, Lu mingchao had been deeply worried when she saw the two great demon kings kill Wang Bei and force Kong Tong and his companions into a corner.
She could roughly guess what her father meant. In her opinion, she might have some means left behind by her father that could allow her father to quickly arrive at the scene.
She had guessed it right, but she was still worried. Even if her father came personally, what could he do?
Of course, she hoped that her father would show his power and kill the two monster Kings. However, thinking rationally, this was almost impossible.
The best outcome she could think of was nothing more than her father killing his way in and saving Kong Tong, escaping the pursuit of the two great demon kings. At most, he would save a few more initial enlightenment cultivators from the sects.
However, she had never expected that the impossible situation would actually happen right in front of her eyes.
She had seen with her own eyes how her father had fought the Demon King. He would first trap one, then summon his powerful wood Dragon and meteorite to defeat the other.
After the feeling of disbelief passed, it was a strong surprise.
It wasn’t because of the spoils of war. Her greatest joy came from her father’s strength. That spontaneous sense of pride even made her a little unable to control herself.
“Alright, alright, it’s nothing.” Lu Qing consoled.
“Yes.” Ming Chao felt that he was a little useless like this, and there were people approaching from a distance, so he quickly composed himself.
The one who approached was perfected yunxuan.
His current appearance was also quite miserable. The Daoist robe on his body was stained with blood.
It was reasonable to say that cultivators were rarely like this. To be able to look like this and not even have the strength to do anything, that was indeed a rather miserable state.
Of course, this was not without the intention of showing off.
After all, before the Battle of the North barren forest, the relationship between the sect leader and the Lu family was extremely tense. The sect leader didn’t even give the Lu family an ultimatum.
Today, after seeing old ancestor Lu’s display of power, who would still dare to mention the ultimatum?
Even he had to put himself in such a miserable state to gain sympathy.
What if this old ancestor Lu was in a bad mood and killed them all here?
On the way, he was very careful and collected his Ling power. He didn’t dare to listen and didn’t dare to look. He bowed and said, ” “Thank you for your help, old ancestor Lu.”
“You’re free.” “I’ll go check on Daoist Kong Tong’s condition,” Lu Qing waved his hand and said.
After saying that, he ignored Yun Xuan and floated down.
Yun Xuan’s face was a little awkward. He wanted to stop them from looking, but in this situation, who would dare to stop him? Who could stop him?
He could only follow Lu mingchao from behind, shoulder to shoulder.
On the way, he even smiled at mingchao to show his friendliness.
Mingchao nodded indifferently as a sign of agreement.
It was not the first time she had met the eldest senior brother of the Qingfeng sect, but when had she not seen him in the past with a cold expression and an imposing manner? She had never seen him like this.
It felt pretty good.

Chapter 6k.
The day of mourning was approaching.
They deeply mourned the martyrs and comrades who had died in the fight against the new plague.
May the dead rest in peace, may the living work hard, and may the motherland prosper.
