Eternal Life: My Lifespan Increases Daily
Chapter 539 - 378: Thunder Wheel Tiger Demon, Second Round! (Double - s)
This Witch Soldier Seal, at first glance, looks more like a peculiar tattoo.
Song Changming didn’t expect that when he summoned the Witch Soldier Seal, it would be so conspicuous.
The Small Witch Seals he had used before were not this noticeable upon summoning.
This was another distinction he discovered between them, suggesting that the use of the Witch Soldier Seal not only affects the bones but also has some impact on his flesh.
When Song Changming finished activating the Witch Seal, the demonic ape image floating on his body surface promptly faded, returning his skin to normal.
The next moment, a sting shot up from his arm, furrowing his brow.
"Is it still too much of a burden..."
The power of this Witch Soldier Seal is undoubtedly immense.
But bearing this power and unleashing it is no easy task.
In fact, he hadn’t pushed this Witch Soldier Seal to its full potential, only using it intermittently, and he was already feeling the strain.
After the battle ended, his entire right arm suffered varying degrees of damage inside and out.
This alerted Song Changming that a powerful force requires a body strong enough to handle it for proper operation.
At present, if he overused this Witch Soldier Seal in battle, the result might be that he’d harm himself before hurting others, unnecessarily weakening his combat strength.
In short, his physical strength is still not robust enough.
Touching his right arm, he felt as if a demonic ape resided within his body now.
Recalling the battle that had just occurred, when he activated the Witch Soldier Seal and summoned the Demon Ape Power, the force unleashed was nearly equivalent to thirty Dragon Power strokes!
Maybe even more!
This was almost a threefold increase from his usual strength, with nearly four million jin force surging!
This power was violent, outrageously strong!
Strong enough for Song Changming to punch a top demon general as powerful as an Azure Elephant Demon to pieces!
And this wasn’t even the limit of the Witch Soldier Seal’s power!
"The mountain-moving power of the demon ape..." Song Changming murmured to himself while rubbing his right arm.
After a while, the stinging sensation in his right arm gradually faded, replaced by a tingling sensation from his healing ability.
The injury in his right arm was healing quickly.
Before long, he had also collected all the demon blood essence from the Azure Scaled Leopard Demon.
For refining the Witch Soldier Seal, this demon blood essence was an essential material, more valuable and useful to him than money or even spirit crystals!
With a kick, he sent the dried-up corpse of the Azure Scaled Leopard Demon into the earth core lava, then Song Changming returned to Changling Mountain Dao.
There, the logistics transport team continued as usual, with the blocked mountain path posing no hindrance—blasting through it, if necessary, was always an option.
Thanks to Song Changming’s timely arrival, there were no casualties among the personnel.
Afterwards, the logistics transport proceeded smoothly.
Whenever they occasionally encountered members of the Demon Race, Yang Zhen could handle them without needing Song Changming.
Upon arrival at Feng City, the team responsible for receiving the materials was already waiting.
Feng City had faced multiple demon race assaults in recent days, having gone through no less than five battles, making it far more devastating than Song Changming’s defense of Tai Nan City.
Outside Feng City, the land appeared as if bombarded by consecutive missile strikes, presenting a desolate, apocalyptic wasteland, indicating how fierce the previous battle had been.
Inside the city, many resources were nearly depleted due to the successive defense battles, so seeing the materials arrive relieved the general handling the reception.
"Banner Master Yang, Flag Master Song, you’ve worked hard on this journey. Let the soldiers enter the city and rest for a while," the general said to Yang Zhen.
"That sounds good," Yang Zhen agreed, nodding.
The transport task was complete, and the team indeed needed some respite. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
As Song Changming prepared to enter the city with his team, he sensed something and retrieved a sound transmission jade scroll from his storage ring.
On a jade slab, a trace of spiritual power flickered like a fish swimming back and forth.
It bore three carved characters: Meng Kunlun.
Meng Kunlun had sent news.
"Thunder Wheel Tiger, eight hundred miles west of Xiguang City, come quickly!"
When Song Changming gathered his spiritual power to contact the jade slab, Meng Kunlun’s deep voice resonated.
Along with Meng Kunlun’s message, Wang Tianshuang and Lord Yan Lan also sent identical messages.
Eight hundred miles outside Xiguang City, they had spotted the trail of the Thunder Wheel Tiger and sought to capture it.
Missing one of the four, come quickly.
"What’s wrong, Changming?" Yang Zhen asked from beside him.
"The Grand Marshal’s urgent order, I must leave immediately." Without further explanation, Song Changming took off, transforming into a streak of purple-gold light disappearing into the sky.
Xiguang City was another major city south of Cui Bai Dao and one of the three routes’ transport destinations.
If Song Changming remembered correctly, it was Lord Yan Lan, Grand Marshal of the Twenty-first Army, in charge of escorting the logistics transport to Xiguang City.
It likely was he who had encountered the Thunder Wheel Tiger, prompting the mobilization of support forces from other directions.
Song Changming rushed westward at full speed.
The distance from Feng City to Xiguang City isn’t short, with two large cities in between.
Even flying, it took Song Changming about the time to burn an incense stick to reach Xiguang City.
Outside Xiguang City, the battle raged.
Massive demon beasts charged crazily at the city defense array.
Fortunately, the grand array held firm for now, with the Cuiqi Army defending against the demon race outside the city.
A scene eerily similar to the Tai Nan City battlefield before.
