Chapter 748: Chapter 716: Void Demon Bird, Water God Swamp

These seemed to be two griffins, but Lu Ping didn’t pay them much attention and quickly made his escape.

He didn’t want to waste time here; the less trouble, the better.

With the difference in strength between them, Lu Ping quickly distanced himself from the two griffin demon beasts.

However, making Lu Ping feel strange once again, he encountered trouble shortly after flying for a while.

As he neared the Water God Swamp’s borders, Lu Ping detected a group of demon birds rapidly approaching him, their numbers exceeding ten.

"This many demon birds in the air?"

Not intending to engage with the approaching demon beasts, Lu Ping didn’t want to waste time here either.

He quickened his pace but soon noticed something unusual.

The initial group of twelve demon birds had suddenly halved in size!

Upon looking around, he couldn’t spot any signs of the six missing demon birds.

This sight made Lu Ping’s expression shift as he felt something out of the ordinary.

"Where did they go?"

Amid his confusion, Lu Ping couldn’t help but pay closer attention. As he observed the demon beasts’ movements again, he suddenly discovered two more demon birds had vanished.

When something out of the ordinary occurs, there’s always a reason.

This compelled Lu Ping to focus his attention.

Whoosh.

Originally, there were twelve demon birds in the group, but now only four were visible.

This sight piqued Lu Ping’s interest greatly.

Whoosh!

Suddenly, he heard the sound of something cutting through the air. With his Golden Core Stage cultivation, Lu Ping quickly sensed a power spreading out on his right side, a mere dozen yards away and rapidly closing in on him.

"Crystallization Stage demon beast!"

With just a simple perception, Lu Ping figured out the realm of such a demon beast.

"Invisibility?"

At the same time, although the demon beast’s aura was present, its form and appearance weren’t visible. It was evident that it had concealed itself.

Appearing before Lu Ping was the Void Demon Bird, a Tier Three demon beast. Though not exceptionally powerful and far less formidable than the Silver-Horned Ink Flood Dragon, its ability to become invisible caused many cultivators headaches.

Imagine, if they concealed their aura and hid within the void, how could one detect them without careful examination?

"A demon beast capable of invisibility, now that’s interesting."

This type of demon beast was something Lu Ping had never encountered before, capturing his interest.

Controlling the Void Escape Ship, Lu Ping lowered his altitude, opting for low-flying.

Because he discovered that flying at high altitudes was too conspicuous and easily drew attention from aerial demon beasts.

That was the case earlier, and it was the case now.

Whoosh Whoosh.

Upon seeing a human race cultivator venture here, the void demon birds were not about to pass up the opportunity. They immediately employed their invisibility ability to launch surprise attacks, or some rushed openly toward Lu Ping.

Lu Ping expanded his divine sense to probe the area, discovering that among these demon beasts, the strongest was only at the Late-stage Crystallization.

There wasn’t a single one at the Golden Core Stage.

Such strength, and they dare to launch an encirclement attack?

Lu Ping’s eyes gleamed with light as he sought to understand which species these demon birds belonged to, with the ability to become invisible.

This invisibility capability, if refined into an invisibility cloak-like magical artifact, could be beneficial.

"Since you’ve made the first move, don’t blame me for being impolite."

Lu Ping smiled faintly and immediately summoned an ordinary flying sword, sending it slashing toward the nearest void demon bird.

In this situation, even if the opponent hid themselves within the void, it had no effect on Lu Ping.

By extending his divine sense slightly, he could pinpoint their location.

How could they possibly remain invisible before Lu Ping?

It was nothing but self-deception.

Swish!

The silver flying sword shot forth, transforming into a streak of sword light, directly striking a Crystallization Initial-stage void demon bird that was concealing itself.

This void demon bird was flying at the forefront, its face twisted with aggression, intending to swallow Lu Ping whole. Upon witnessing the flying sword coming, it instinctively attempted to dodge.

But, given its strength, how could it possibly escape?

With a thud,

it was slain by a single slash, staining the sky with blood.

With its death, its invisibility ability vanished instantly as the demonic power dissipated, causing its body to plummet from the sky.

Observing it now, this demon beast had a peculiar appearance, with a large black head resembling an eagle’s, exuding majesty.

In the center of its head was an elliptical amber crystal that emitted a yellowish glow, which was the power the void demon bird used to activate its invisibility effect.

The body was similar to an ordinary bird’s, but with large feet and long, sharp talons suitable for capturing prey.

Lu Ping had never seen a bird of this size, with an enormous head, long talons, predominantly black appearance, and invisibility capability.

Gazing at the slain void demon bird, Lu Ping gave a gentle wave of his sleeve and stowed it into his storage bag.

Then, facing the remaining void demon birds charging at him, Lu Ping continued to wield his flying sword, slashing them down one by one.

The vast disparity in strength meant that these void demon birds were no match, and Lu Ping soon slaughtered most of them.

The remaining few void demon birds, realizing they were no match, ceased their attacks and scattered with roars.

Lu Ping made no effort to pursue them.

In this encounter, he slew nine void demon birds and stored their bodies in his storage bag, enough material for refining magical artifacts.

This was merely a minor episode.

Lu Ping then continued his journey toward the Water God Swamp.

It didn’t take long before a corner of the swamp’s landscape appeared before Lu Ping’s eyes.

Contrary to his imagination, this swamp wasn’t a vast wetland blanketed with mud and marshes. Instead, it appeared reddish-brown.

Due to his low flying height, Lu Ping could only glimpse a corner of the iceberg, unable to see the entirety of the Water God Swamp.

From its location, this was the southeastern part of the Water God Swamp.

Lu Ping flew close to the ground, advancing toward the location given by Elder Jiang, probing the surrounding environment, and searching for Elder Jiang’s presence.

"The Water God Swamp isn’t a true swamp in the traditional sense. The soil and ground here appear mostly reddish-brown, not soft terrain. It’s quite peculiar in this aspect." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Lu Ping hovered in place, suspended above the swamp.

A warm current flowed around him, akin to being in a desert, with a hint of arid heat in the atmosphere.

Moreover, the condition of spirit plants here exceeded Lu Ping’s expectations.

At a glance, many spirit plants grew here, red, purple, pink, blue, forming a colorful spectacle like a garden in full bloom, with a faint herbal fragrance wafting in the air.
