“Retreat!”
The death of the Sky Centipede King strengthened the Golden Crow King and the others’ decision to retreat. With that, they led their people away from the battlefield.
After the Sky Centipede King’s body crashed to the ground, Bei Ming’s clone flew over to Chu Kuangren and laughed.
“How’s my Dark Cataclysmic Current? It’s not bad, right?”
“The Embodier Technique is mystical by itself, and when cast by your hands, its power is unmatched,” Chu Kuangren flattered him.
“Of course!”
It was then that Bei Ming sensed something further away. His figure flashed and reappeared beside the dead Sky Centipede King.
A tiny centipede, the size of a thumb, was crawling away from the body.
Bei Ming caught it with his bare hand.
“This is…” Chu Kuangren was slightly surprised.
“The hundred-legged insect dies but does not perish. It’s one of the secret techniques of the Sky Centipede Tribe. I ran into some pests back then and was lucky enough to learn about them. This Sky Centipede King is trying to run but not on my watch.”
Bei Ming conjured the Celestial Demon energy and crushed the tiny centipede.
At last, the Sky Centipede King perished.
Chu Kuangren was surprised. He had killed one of the Sky Centipede Tribe’s Heavenly Champions before, yet he did not notice that.
He had no idea whether the Heavenly Champion escaped using that technique or not, but a quick thought later, Chu Kuangren decided to put the thought aside.
Whether he escaped or not, it would not affect Chu Kuangren at all. Should he meet the Heavenly Champion again in the future, it would only take him one sword to end the pest’s life.
“Okay. Now that the Yokai Kings’ troops are basically gone, my clone’s energy is down to its last bit,” Bei Ming said.
“Thank you, senior.”
“Don’t mention it. Oh, I have something I want to tell you, and I hope you can bear it in mind.”
“What is it?”
“It’s about the Celestial Demon Tribe. I heard that the Celestial Demon Affiliated Tribe is also in the Heavenly Champion’s battle. If you happen to run into them, be careful.”
Chu Kuangren was surprised by his words.
Based on what he heard from Bei Ming a while ago, the Celestial Demon Tribe only had seven Heavenly Champions, including himself.
Where did the Celestial Demon Affiliated Tribe come from?
With Bei Ming’s explanation, Chu Kuangren found out that there was a genius researching among the Celestial Demon Tribe who wanted to have more insights into the Celestial Demon Physique so that people without the physique could be suitable for it at a later stage.
However, the plan failed.
The Celestial Demon Physique created through research could not be compared to the innate version, be it the potential or the power.
The plan might have failed, but the Later Celestial Demon Tribe remained, and they scattered across the universe.
Now, they had reemerged from the dark and joined the Heavenly Champion battle.
“I heard the Later Celestial Demon Tribe produced quite a number of Heavenly Champions. One of them is very similar to the Innate Chaos Celestial Demon and a monstrous one as well. He’s powerful.”
“Powerful? Is he worth being my opponent?” Chu Kuangren smiled.
His brief words contained absolute confidence that allowed him to peer down on all the powerful ones. The confidence came from his Heart of Invincibility and Invincible Dao.”
“I’m looking forward to your performance.”
Bei Ming smiled before his body slowly disappeared.
After he left, Chu Kuangren and the others cleaned up the battlefield.
Tushan was in a desolate state after the battle.
It would not be easy for them to recover in a short time.
Instead of sending the Underworld Soldiers back to Fengdu immediately, Chu Kuangren kept them and ordered them to clean up the place.
While everyone was busy cleaning, a figure arrived beside the body of the dead Sky Centipede King.
The person shot a complicated gaze at the dead centipede body. He felt sad about the king’s pa.s.sing but also eager to retake the body.
He was Wu Tian, the leader of the Five Poisons.
He had been on the battlefield for some time now and was awestruck when he saw Chu Kuangren summon the Million Strong Underworld Army.
When the Sky Centipede King was killed, he was sad. Yet, at the same time, he saw the silver lining behind the tragedy.
In the old inheritance of the Toxic Sovereign’s inheritance, there was a kind of poison named the Immortal Dissolving Poison. It was extremely powerful, and in order to craft the poison, one must gather all kinds of ingredients, and the most difficult of all would be the Yokai King’s heart.
“My King, now that you have perished, I will use your heart and refine it into the Immortal Dissolving Poison. With time, I might be able to avenge you and kill Chu Kuangren.”
He took the heart out of the body and left in a hurry.
After he left, an Underworld Soldier appeared.
He looked in the direction where Wu Tian disappeared and then went to Chu Kuangren to report the finding.
“Yokai King’s heart? Immortal Dissolving Poison? Hm, interesting,” he murmured but was not overly concerned.
After all, he had the Poison Immunity. If Wu Tian planned to use the Immortal Dissolving Poison on him, the Sky Centipede Heavenly Champion would be wrong from the start.
Chu Kuangren was not afraid of a mere centipede.
“Brother Chu, thank you for your a.s.sistance.”
Tushan Queen and Emerald Hill Fox King came over to express their grat.i.tude.
“You’re too kind. As you said, I’m a friend of Tushan, and friends should help each other out,” Chu Kuangren said with a smile.
“We are in debt to you regardless,” said the Emerald Hill Fox King.
Meanwhile, in a cave somewhere around Tushan, Chui Kuangren continued his closed-door cultivation after cleaning up the battlefield.
However, the moment he stepped into the cave, he sensed something out of the blue.
There was an unusual energy presence in the air.
Someone else was inside.
“Show yourself,” Chu Kuangren said.
Swoos.h.!.+
A shadow with a voluptuous figure appeared.
It was a female yokai with bewitching charms.
Her voluptuous figure, slender legs, beautiful facial features, and clear porcelain skin — every feature on her screamed feminine fatale, especially that gaze that could bewitch one’s soul. A single gaze from her could easily arouse all men.
However, Chu Kuangren was no common man.
“So it’s you, Dark Fox Maiden Sage.”
The one hiding in the cave was her, but she was in a wretched state. Her energy presence felt weak, and she was wounded.
‘Avoiding pursuit?’ Chu Kuangren wondered.
The Yokai King’s allied armies might have retreated, but some of the troops were left behind, hunted down by the Fox Tribe. Hence, the Dark Fox Maiden Sage could be one of them.
The Dark Fox Maiden Sage stared at Chu Kuangren cautiously. She deemed herself unlucky for running into him here.
She covered her people’s escape and stayed back to fight the pursuits, but in the end, she got stuck in Tushan, rendering it difficult for her to escape.
Now that the entire Tushan was sealed off, all the exits were guarded by yokai foxes, so she was forced to hide in the cave.
The cave was a quiet one and barely saw any visitors, so she a.s.sumed it would be a good hiding place. Little did she know that it was Chu Kuangren’s cultivation spot.
Chu Kuangren was the man who single-handedly turned the tide of the battle. He inflicted heavy damage on the allied armies and forced them to retreat.
To the troops of the allied armies, Chu Kuangren was a devil reincarnate, a monster that every yokai was afraid of.
Yet now, b.u.mping into him, the Dark Fox Maiden was literally delivering herself to him.
