Chapter 83: Chapter 83, Li Qing’s Provocation (Seeking Recommendations, Seeking Collections)

Amidst the endless beast tide, six colossal figures stood proudly. Their mere presence caused the surrounding Demon Beasts to tremble and withdraw in fear. One of the figures soared through the sky, its huge wings blocking out the sun, and a single call echoed for miles.

This dark figure in the sky was one of the culprits in the fall of Sunset Town, a Fifth Level High Tier Demon Beast known as the Golden-Eyed Vulture.

The five figures on the ground were no weaker than it, with some even surpassing it. Among them, the weakest was the One-Horned Evil Dragon, a Fifth Level Middle Tier Demon Beast.

The other four were the Thousand-Faced Ghost Bull, the Green-Eyed Demon Snake, the Bloodthirsty Nether Bee, and the Earth-Shaking Bear. The strongest among them was the Thousand-Faced Ghost Bull, a Sixth Level Middle Tier Demon Beast whose power was comparable to a True Dao Realm Seventh Layer Martial Artist.

Seeing such powerful Demon Beasts, many martial artists were deeply worried, fearing that Ironfire City would not withstand the onslaught. The news of Sunset Town’s fall had made them acutely aware of the terror of the beast tide.

"You guys, retreat quickly, or don’t blame us for being rude!"

Standing in front of many martial artists, Ling Fan shouted loudly. His voice, boosted by Spiritual Power, spread for miles. Many people already had a death wish in their eyes.

Witnessing Ling Fan’s actions, Chu Ming shook his head. Although Sixth Level Demon Beasts possessed a certain level of intelligence, Ling Fan’s attempts at persuasion and threats were undoubtedly futile. If they had any effect, the beasts would have retreated long ago, rather than persisting until now.

Sure enough, as soon as Ling Fan’s words fell, the six giant beast shadows showed no sign of retreating. Instead, they roared towards the sky and led the multitude of Demon Beasts in a charge towards Ironfire City.

"City Lord Ling, why waste so many words with them? Let’s just start killing!"

A burly True Dao Martial Artist said gruffly. His muscles bulged, and with an aura of ferocity emanating from him, the lines on his arms were distinct, indicating he was a Body Refining Martial Artist.

Ling Fan smiled bitterly, knowing that everything he did was for the sake of Ironfire City. Although he knew it was impossible, he still held a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"Kill!"

Ling Fan was not one to be indecisive. Seeing the beast tide closing in, he shouted loudly. His voice was so powerful that every martial artist in Ironfire City could hear the echoes.

Rumble Rumble Rumble

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

As soon as he spoke, the six True Dao Martial Artists beside him proactively faced the five beast shadows in the tide. Ling Fan himself flew towards the Thousand-Faced Ghost Bull, wielding a silver treasure sword that glittered brightly. His sword light flashed, and the Demon Beasts below had no time to dodge, immediately spilling blood and falling apart.

"You guys, don’t venture into the depths of the beast tide!" Chu Ming turned to the four people and said. They knew well enough not to hinder Chu Ming, so they stayed together with the four disciples following Liao Wu. As long as the eight of them did not venture deep into the beast tide, they should be safe.

After giving his instructions, Chu Ming dashed into the depths of the beast tide, swinging his Silver Light Sword. Instantly, several sword lights shattered into innumerable light fragments, annihilating the Demon Beasts around him.

The beast tide at Ironfire City was undoubtedly much more advanced than the one at Sunset Town. There were six Fifth and Sixth Level Demon Beasts, over two thousand Fourth Level Demon Beasts, and a considerable number of Top Tier Fourth Level Demon Beasts. Five Demon Beasts roared to the sky, as if heralding the end of the world.

With his current strength, Chu Ming rampaged through the beast tide, able to handle even the weaker Fifth Level Low Tier Demon Beasts with some effort.

With one stroke, Chu Ming killed a Top Tier Fourth Level Demon Beast, cutting off its right ear before moving on to the next target. He could sense whether there was a Demon Core inside the beast’s corpse using his Soul Power.

He primarily hunted Top Tier Fourth Level Demon Beasts, with the weakest being Fourth Level. Killing one Fourth Level Beast was equivalent to killing hundreds of other beasts. He wasn’t the only one with this idea; several team leaders had the same thought.

The difference was that while Hao Donglin killed Demon Beasts, he also kept an eye on Chu Ming’s direction. He avoided Chu Ming knowingly, as the feeling Chu Ming gave him was unfathomable. From their initial brief clash, he confirmed he wasn’t Chu Ming’s match.

In the current chaos of the beast tide, he feared Chu Ming would kill him, so he constantly avoided Chu Ming, even steering clear when there were Fourth Level Demon Beasts near Chu Ming.

However, this thought was unique to Hao Donglin. Li Qing was unaware of Chu Ming’s strength and was very unconvinced by him. As soon as Chu Ming left, he followed closely, a cold smile on his face.

In his previous battle with Tianxing Zi, they fought to a draw. This didn’t mean his talent was equal to Tianxing Zi’s, or else he would have made a name for himself long ago. He was a year older than Tianxing Zi, and although considered a young genius, he paled compared to Tianxing Zi.

Now, with rumors of Chu Ming defeating Tianxing Zi, Li Qing refused to accept another standing above him. The thought of killing Chu Ming here to make a name for himself made him wildly excited.

Li Qing followed closely behind Chu Ming. From the start, Chu Ming was aware but found Li Qing no threat, choosing not to expose him, curious to see what tricks he would play.

With another stroke, Chu Ming killed a Top Tier Fourth Level Demon Beast, cutting off its right ear. Just as he was about to leave, his eyes lit up; he split the beast’s head open to find a blue Demon Core quietly shimmering inside.

Chu Ming immediately placed the blue Demon Core into his Storage Ring. Despite his speed, Li Qing, who had been watching him, noticed.

Demon Core!

Li Qing’s eyes flashed with greed. Having no excuse to strike at Chu Ming, the appearance of the Demon Core came at the perfect time. Without hesitation, he turned into a fierce wind, charging towards Chu Ming, killing all the Demon Beasts along the way.

"Chu Ming, hand over the Demon Core!"

Li Qing’s eyes were filled with greed. His treasure sword gleamed, ready to strike at any moment.

"What if I say no?"

Chu Ming said coolly, narrowing his eyes. At his words, Li Qing’s face broke into a disdainful smile, "You don’t have a choice!"

Swoosh

Li Qing stepped firmly, his treasure sword’s tip erupting with countless white Sword Lights. The fierce lights shredded the surrounding Demon Beasts, creating a ten-meter vacuum.

As if not seeing Li Qing’s attack, Chu Ming only raised his sword, gently swinging it when the Sword Light was three meters away. A searing Sword Qi burst from his sword, melting the attack like snowfall in winter.

Splat...

Li Qing’s Sword Light was instantly shattered. The Sword Light hit his chest, creating a huge bleeding cross, exposing the shattered Defense Armor beneath.

Li Qing staggered back in shock, his breath erratic, his eyes wide as if seeing a ghost, barely hanging on to life.

Boom

Li Qing’s corpse fell into the beast tide, immediately torn apart by the endless Demon Beasts.
