Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Chapter 391: Chapter 391: Three-legged Fire Toad! (2nd Update)

The lake wasn’t large, and with Ling Feng’s exaggerated speed, about three hours later, the lake had completely dried up, revealing the muddy lakebed.

In the center of the mud, a dark, eerie hole emerged, wide enough to be one or two fathoms across.

Gurgle! Gurgle! Gurgle!

Accompanied by a series of dense and rapid croaking sounds, a gigantic red toad leaped out from the hole, standing half a human’s height. Its eyes shone with a golden light and were larger than a person’s head. The toad’s body was corpulent, with three thick and short legs protruding from its belly, and on its back was a cluster of nauseating, foul-smelling poison sacs.

”Ah! My eyes!!!”

As soon as the Three-legged Fire Toad appeared, three or four martial artists immediately covered their eyes, writhing in agony on the ground. It felt as if countless Golden Needles had simultaneously pierced their heads, causing such excruciating pain that their souls trembled, making life feel worse than death.

Ling Feng was taken aback and immediately deployed the Heavenly Sword Formation, enveloping everyone within it.

The eyes of the Three-legged Fire Toad emitted a strange, sinister glow, seemingly capable of inflicting a mental assault similar to Spirit Piercing. The Sword Force, in a sense, also utilized power similar to Divine Sense and thus could block the odd rays released by the toad.

Seeing members of the Blood Wolf Hunting Team rolling on the ground, although they were only temporary comrades, Ling Feng did not abandon them.

”Don’t look at its eyes!”

Ling Feng roared. At this roar, he activated the Slaughter Sword Intent. Instantly, the martial artists struck by the Fire Toad’s Spirit Piercing felt as if thunder had exploded in their minds, sweeping away the stinging force lodged within the Sea of Consciousness like a bee sting.

The few members of the Blood Wolf Hunting Team struggled to their feet, their heads bloodied by their own hands, fortunately sparing their lives. They quickly bowed to Ling Feng, expressing their gratitude, ”Thank you, Young Master Ling, for saving our lives.”

”No need.” Ling Feng’s gaze sharpened as he focused on the Three-legged Fire Toad in the mud, slowly drawing the Ten Directions Annihilation sword.

Gurgle, gurgle!

The Three-legged Fire Toad croaked softly a few times, its crimson eyes revealing a hint of shock. Although it was only a fourth-rank peak demon, it was gifted with spiritual wisdom not inferior to humans. It was somewhat surprised that these humans could withstand its mental pierce.

”You wicked beast, come and meet your death!”

Lee Wencheng cursed loudly and took the lead. With his long sword dancing, he charged towards the Three-legged Fire Toad.

They had already spent a lot of time and energy on the Fire Toad, and now it was time to reap the rewards!

Immediately afterward, the other uninjured martial artists, following Lee Wencheng’s lead, plunged into the mud pond. Some pulled ropes while others set nets, aiming to capture the toad alive if possible, as it was most valuable that way.

Whoosh!

The Fire Toad shook its body, and instantly from its poison sacs, streaks of poison liquid shot out toward the people.

This poison was no trivial matter. Though the Fire Toad was not yet mature, its poison was genuinely potent Fire Toad Poison, more than ten times more toxic than the lake’s water. Even a Divine Origin Realm powerhouse couldn’t ignore such potent poison, let alone the mob-like members of the Blood Wolf Hunting Team.

The faces of Lee Wencheng and the others turned pale. They hastily dodged mid-air while opening their Primordial Qi Gang Shields. The sound of ’zzz’ filled the air as wisps of blue smoke rose. The Primordial Qi Shield around them was continually eroded by the poison, seeming as though it could break at any moment.

”Damn it!”

Lee Wencheng snorted in anger and retreated explosively, with the other members of the Blood Wolf Hunting Team following closely, retreating out of the range of the Fire Toad’s poison.

”Don’t get close to it, use ranged killing moves!” Lee Wencheng raised his eyebrows and yelled at his team members.

”Understood.”

The members of the Blood Wolf Hunting Team, being well-trained, immediately took their positions and each launched Sword Qi attacks, starting to strike the Three-legged Fire Toad from a distance. However, with this method, it was uncertain how long it would take to capture the Fire Toad.

”You guys contain it, I’ll lead the attack!”

Ling Feng roared and, unable to restrain himself any longer, waved the Ten Directions Annihilation and charged towards the Three-legged Fire Toad.

The Fire Toad was clever, sensing the threatening aura of Ling Feng. It swiftly burrowed into a mud hole at the bottom of the lake and disappeared in an instant.

”Damn it!”

Ling Feng stood at the entrance of the hole, the dark depths of the mud hole completely obscured from view.

”Ribbit!”

As Ling Feng hesitated to charge into the mud hole to pursue the Fire Toad, a croaking sound rang out. Although Ling Feng didn’t understand the Beast Language, he could clearly discern the extreme rage within the croak.

Whoosh!

The next moment, the Three-legged Fire Toad burst out from the mud hole with incredible speed, like a streak of red lightning, reappearing before everyone.

Gurgle! Gurgle! Gurgle!

The Fire Toad lay on the ground, its body glowing with red light, cautiously staring within the mud hole.

The next moment, a purple shadow also ferociously emerged from the mud hole. Everyone watched intently—it was a giant purple python, flickering with a purple ghostly glow, over thirty meters long and as thick as a barrel, its blood-red tongue flicking in and out. Atop its head, there was an over two-meter-long purple horn.

Purple electrical arcs flashed over the horn; it seemed to be biting into a large fruit. The Fire Toad glared intensely at the giant python, focusing on the fruit, emitting continuous low growls of ”gurgle.”

Demons by nature have a bloodthirstiness, but generally, when encountering humans, they would prioritize attacking humans.

That’s the nature of demons!

Yet at this moment, the Three-legged Fire Toad completely ignored the humans nearby and, crazed like mad, leaped up, spewing out a foul-smelling poison liquid as it agitated the poison sacs on its back, its movements even fiercer than when it faced Lee Wencheng and the others before.

Ling Feng narrowed his eyes, stretched his body, and flew up into the air, watching these two demons attack each other curiously.

”It’s a Purple Electric Python! In terms of bloodline, it’s no weaker than the Three-legged Fire Toad, and, what’s more, it’s also a juvenile stage Horned Python, ha ha, jackpot!” Lee Wencheng was overjoyed. The purple horn of the Purple Electric Python was an excellent material for refining swords, and the Demon Essence Thunder it bore was especially prized by those Cultivators of the Thunder Attribute.

Thunder Attribute treasures were much rarer than those of the ordinary Five Elements Attributes. Such a horn could probably be worth millions of Mid-grade Essence Stones.

Perhaps for Ling Feng, a few million Mid-grade Essence Stones weren’t anything significant, but for these Loose Cultivators in the Hunting Group, it was a considerable fortune!

At that moment, the members of the Blood Wolf Hunting Team on the shore were all delighted, waiting for the two demons to inflict mutual damage so that they could reap the benefits, isn’t that wonderful!
