Who Brought Him into the Cultivation World?

Chapter 370: Chapter 312: Pulled Out a Big One

The journey from the Eastern Territory to the Northern Border spans nearly ten thousand miles.

It’s impossible for ordinary people to return so quickly, even using the Mo Family’s flying magical artifact, which can fly ceaselessly, but my cousin estimated it would still take at least half a day.

So tonight, it’s destined that they won’t return.

The Little Garden is brightly lit, with the lighting array making the entire altar as bright as daylight.

Especially knowing the characteristics of the monster, the Great Elder specifically arranged it so there was not a hint of shadow around, to prevent it and You Li from escaping together.

It’s uncertain whether it’s the monster’s spiritual intelligence or pointless effort.

Half the night passed, and You Li’s body lay there motionless, with no sign of the monster.

”As expected, it’s quite timid.”

My cousin shrugged, couldn’t help yawning as he spoke.

Keeping watch all night is indeed tiring, especially when there’s no sign of activity, making one even more drowsy.

Besides the few from the Self-Improvement Sect, the others keeping watch here include the Great Elder and Xia Wuyou.

If You Li’s energy is completely consumed, my cousin will trigger the mechanism to activate his replicated array.

If the monster is provoked, even a foot away from You Li, the fire wall Han Yu prepared will instantly separate them.

Then Xia Wuyou and the Nanli Grand Elder would quickly take You Li away.

If the monster controls You Li in stubborn resistance, they’ll have to suppress it until the layperson brings back the stone.

Seeing no activity, the scene became extremely strange.

”Young friend, are you sure this monster only has spiritual intelligence?”

Xia Wuyou frowned. This crafty thing hides the moment it sees numerous Transcendent Realm cultivators; it’s practically spirit-like.

Even the Great Elder couldn’t help but say, ”This hardly seems like mere intelligence; it seems smarter than you, lad.”

Han Yu’s mouth twitched, though he was uncertain.

After all, when encountered in the Earth Palace, it wasn’t particularly clever; otherwise, how could he have tricked it once?

Except for that time in the Earth Palace, the monsters haven’t shown any signs of intelligence in recent days in Nanling City.

”If it’s really smart, that’s actually good; it won’t dare let You Li get hurt.”

My cousin offered a different perspective.

Indeed, there was some truth to his words.

The night persisted on, and You Li’s body began to show signs of movement.

The three tranquil energies suddenly underwent a change, with the monster’s black aura surging violently.

”It seems to have exhausted the Dragon Blood Stone and is ready to devour energy.”

The chaotic aura erupted from within, and the Great Elder’s face changed dramatically.

For a moment, a crimson glow intermittently appeared, and as the energy flowed, You Li’s body began to tremble uncontrollably.

If not for the loss of two souls and the Seven Souls inducing a coma, being awake might render the meridian torment unbearable.

Xia Wuyou, with a cold face, flicked his robe sleeves, releasing several strands of Sword Qi that directly struck You Li’s meridians.

Slit! Slit! Slit!

Visible wounds bloomed, shocking those around.

My cousin and Han Yu almost thought this guy intended to take out You Li.

”It’s useless, treating the symptoms but not the cause.”

The Nanli Grand Elder took a glance, shook his head with a grim expression.

This move he understood; it was merely that the meridian’s energy impact was too fierce, and Xia Wuyou’s Sword Qi was strategically releasing some energy by piercing the meridian.

As he predicted, the places where meridians were ruptured poured out three energies but closed shortly after.

Xia Wuyou, maintaining his icy demeanor, released a few more strands. Before long, You Li’s white cultivator robe was soaked with blood.

”If this continues, You Li will be riddled with holes.”

My cousin’s face twitched, pulling on Han Yu.

Swish...

At this moment, the sound of something breaking through the sky was heard, moving at an incredible pace.

The few were stirred, my cousin even shouted, ”Quick, help him stop.”

Han Yu and the Great Elder both leaped, facing an iron eagle diving down.

The Great Elder took action first, forcing his spiritual power out to envelop the iron eagle, while Han Yu, with his body, wrapped around its head, and a plume of white flame burst from his wings.

As the iron eagle stopped, the layperson immediately opened the mechanism and jumped out, tossing a blood-red stone to Han Yu.

With the stone in hand, Han Yu quickly dove down, arriving at the altar.

You Li was already trembling uncontrollably, the additional wounds on her body didn’t matter.

Yet, as Han Yu approached with the Dragon Blood Stone, she calmed down.

There’s hope!

Han Yu quickly signaled my cousin with his eyes; my cousin nodded promptly.

After the commoners hurried down, they quickly pulled up Coconut and Yi Xian and swiftly retreated to mid-air.

One by one, hidden figures quietly appeared; all of them were Nanli Elders with Transcendent Realm Cultivation.

Han Yu, holding a stone in his hand, slowly approached. At this time, black liquid gradually seeped from You Li’s body, twisting and mingling to form the shape of a hand.

The black fingers clawed at the ground, crawling a short distance before twisting upwards into the air.

As it gradually approached Han Yu, its form changed once more, the liquid surging and transforming into a black python, flicking its tongue around Han Yu’s vicinity.

”This damn thing just gets more disgusting.”

Watching the creature’s bizarre morphing forms, Han Yu internally grumbled.

The black python hesitated to get too close, seemingly indecisive.

Yet, its agitated, writhing body expressed its desire.

Moments later, the creature could no longer resist the allure of the Dragon Blood Stone, opening its black jaws wide to swallow Han Yu’s hand along with the stone in one gulp.

”Ah...”

Coconut was startled, letting out a short cry, but Yi Xian quickly covered his mouth. The commoner quietly whispered, ”This guy is unbelievably strong, don’t make a sound, he’s baiting the creature.”

The moment the black python bit the stone, it seemed as if it had tasted something delightful, pulling with eagerness to retract.

How could Han Yu let it succeed? With his feet slightly sinking, his arms exerted constant strength; not only did the python fail to retract, but it was even pulled out further by him.

The Nanli Grand Elder was ready to unleash his power when his cousin hurriedly stopped him.

”Wait until the Pharmacist speaks, then help.”

In this situation, as long as Han Yu didn’t speak, it meant he intended to hold on.

Indeed, Han Yu was just as his cousin described; he wanted to provoke the creature.

When it had come out sniffing for the Dragon Blood Stone, Han Yu already had a plan.

A bit of intelligence, but not smart enough, timid yet greedy.

This was what a monster should be like; if it were truly as clever as a human being, he’d really have to consider whether to join them in their games, instead of the Inspectorate.

Unable to retract the stone for a long time, the black liquid on You Li surged continuously, and the black python grew thicker, with its body as wide as an adult man’s waist.

Feeling that the strength in the hand was increasing, Han Yu took a deep breath, with his bones cracking like thunder.

In the still night, the sound was unmistakably clear.

At this moment, reality struck, and the Nanli Grand Elder’s mouth twitched involuntarily, although inopportune.

But compared to the black python, how did Han Yu feel even more like a monster?

Now he truly believed that Han Yu could single-handedly uproot the entire Celestial City Peak; with such physical strength, even if those eight old lunatics teamed up, they wouldn’t stand a chance.

Han Yu’s arms bulged like dragons, seemingly swelling, pulling the black python out even further.

Amid faint perception, Han Yu gradually felt the closing force in his hand increase.

It wanted to crush the Dragon Blood Stone!

This couldn’t be delayed any longer. Han Yu gritted his teeth as his blood energy reached its peak.

”Everyone get ready!”

A loud shout followed, as Han Yu’s arms emitted the sound of wind and thunder.

Wind Thunder Fist!

An enormous force suddenly swung out, and with a crack, the Dragon Blood Stone shattered in response.

A massive shadow was stripped from You Li’s body, the snake’s head flung far away, the enormous shadow trailing closely behind.

When the last section of shadow was stripped from You Li, his cousin immediately shouted, ”Take action.”

He was the first to activate the mechanism. Instantly, the iron caskets on the ground illuminated, as a great suppressive force descended upon the altar.

The monster’s form, at the end, attempted to crawl back into You Li’s body, but the moment it touched the altar, its exploring tentacles instantly smoked and ignited.

Fire!

Han Yu’s pre-laid Divine Technique rapidly ignited, surrounding You Li tightly.

Rescue!

Xia Wuyou and Nanli Grand Elder moved simultaneously. As Xia Wuyou’s Sword Intent surged forth from his body, a gentle breeze rose silently, obliterating the remaining monster body beyond the altar with just a touch.

The Grand Elder flew towards You Li, sending a gust of wind, forcibly parting the fire wall, and immediately reached out to grab him.

Crack! Crack!

Han Yu watched as You Li was rescued, only then following the sound of chewing.

In a glance, he was startled!

Damn! Did I pull out a big one?

He had only been focused on exerting force, not noticing the creature’s size, and now, seeing it manifest, he was taken aback.

Was this mountain-like figure stripped from You Li’s body?

”No, it was no more than a giant python before, it turned bigger now.”

The Artifact Spirit also found it incredible, declaring this absorption ability to be outrageous, having witnessed it all. Every time it chewed, it grew larger.

Once the creature swallowed the last piece of stone, the mountain-like body finally moved...
