After a violent impact, two figures flew out in opposite directions at the same time.
The demon horn on the demon's forehead had been broken, and his body was like a broken porcelain bottle, oozing black blood. He fell heavily to the ground with a thud, struggling to get up but unable... It was obvious that he was seriously injured.
Of course, Chu Tianxiao wasn't much better off. It was his first official battle with the demon general. Although he eventually defeated his opponent, the opponent's dying counterattack also left him with serious injuries...
“Brother!”
Seeing this, Lu Meir hurriedly ran to Chu Tianxiao, quickly took out a golden pill from the Sumeru Ring, and fed it to Chu Tianxiao - this area was too close to the demon-occupied area, and it would be quite dangerous to drag his injured body.
After taking the pill and recuperating for a while, Chu Tianxiao's pale cheeks regained a hint of color. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and walked straight forward. The Star-Moon Sword suddenly glowed, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at the Demon General's forehead!
The two sides exchanged glances, and then, without any words, Chu Tianxiao directly used the Star Shocking Universe to completely cut off the life of the demon general.
The battle between humans and demons is a war of races. Leaving aside the "civilians", there is generally no such thing as taking prisoners among practitioners. If you meet, it's either you die or I die.
The strong men at the level of Demon Generals are notoriously unruly. Even Chu Tianxiao is unlikely to get anything out of him in the short term under this circumstance... Instead of waiting for him to accumulate the last bit of magic energy and self-destruct, it is better to just deal with him.
"Huh..."
Seeing the body of the demon general being cut in half by the Star Sword, the light in his eyes completely dimmed... Chu Tianxiao understood that this hard battle tonight was over.
Originally, with his strength after being promoted to Soul Awakening, he would not be afraid at all even if facing a strong man in the upper realm of Soul Awakening, and it should not be so difficult to fight... But the problem is that this opponent is not the human he has been fighting against, but the demon!
He is also a veteran strong man among the demon general level, one of the three strongest people in this human-demon war zone!
It was the first time I faced this kind of enemy head-on, so I couldn't help feeling a little uncomfortable.
So after the fierce battle, Chu Tianxiao was exhausted, but he also gained a lot of experience.
"Brother, should we retreat?" Lu Meir supported the still weak Chu Tianxiao and asked with concern.
Although the demons are powerful, they are far inferior to humans in "creation". They don't have things like sound transmission notes, and it is unrealistic to seize the human ones - humans cultivate true essence, while demons cultivate magic essence. The two are extremely mutually exclusive. Once the magic essence enters the human sound transmission notes, not only will it not be able to transmit any information, but it will explode and attack the demons...
In other words, the demons were still a bit rudimentary in terms of communication. Generally speaking, they could only rely on the demon horns on their foreheads to transmit simple danger messages. Only the truly high-ranking demons had valuable means of communication... and this demon general probably hadn't reached that level yet.
After Chu Tianxiao's soul was awakened, his moves gradually became more diverse, and in some places they were so casual that it was no exaggeration to say that they had changed beyond all recognition... Therefore, let alone the fact that this demon general might not be able to glimpse Chu Tianxiao's identity, even if he vaguely saw a little bit of arrogance, he couldn't report the specific details to the upper level...
But, let’s be fair.
Chu Tianxiao may not need to worry about his identity being exposed, but the death of the demon general will probably reveal dangerous information that cannot be concealed. It seems that this place will soon be surrounded by the demon clan, and perhaps even more powerful demon clan members will come...
In other words, this place will soon become a dangerous place!
That’s why Lu Meir said that.
"... No rush, the demons will need time to react, let's go and find out what's going on here first..." Hearing this, Chu Tianxiao shook his head and said.
"Hmm? Weird?" Lu Meir was puzzled, and then she heard Chu Tianxiao's explanation: "Hmm... Don't you think it's strange? This is clearly the front outpost of the Demon Clan's important town, but except for this Demon General, there is no Demon Clan soldier... When I read the intelligence before, I thought that this Demon General was conceited, but when I think about it carefully, there is still something wrong. He did use some tricks in the battle, not like a completely reckless person..."
As he spoke, Chu Tianxiao quickly found a "place to stay" and began to climb up the broken part of the cliff again.
"Speaking of which..." Lu Meir hurriedly followed, thinking for a while, and said, "It's very strange... Could it be that the demon general discovered some secret here, and in order to prevent the news from leaking out, he drove away the other demons stationed here?"
"Smart. Considering what he said before the war about success... this possibility is indeed very high."
While the two were talking, they had already climbed back up the cliff, then flashed into the cave.
Immediately, a ray of starlight lit up in the dark cave, illuminating the surroundings.
At just one glance, Chu Tianxiao and Lu Meir were both surprised by what they saw.
On the stone wall, there are densely packed blood-drop-like things. Each "blood drop" is contained in a circular groove, as if it is embedded in it... Countless circular grooves "bloom" on all sides of the stone wall, circling above it, everywhere...
If we have to make a metaphor, it is similar to a "pomegranate", except that the "fruit" here is the size of a palm, and the "blood drops" of light flow...
"This is... the Soul Blood Guillotine?"
After being in the business for so long, Chu Tianxiao has become quite knowledgeable. He can tell at a glance that the "blood drop" in front of him is actually a rare treasure created by nature - the Soul Blood Droplet!
As a single drop, its value is not great, but once the total "blood drops" reaches a certain number, its value will change dramatically! At that time, they can be used to condense the soul, improve the quality, and can also be used to practice various blood-related exercises. It is the favorite of the evil sect and the demon clan... Of course, for the righteous human race, the soul blood drop is also a good thing. You only need to wash away the evil spirit in it, and you can transform it. It is quite favored by water-based practitioners...
However, the Soul Blood Droplets should not be stored in the Xumi Ring - not because they have "life", but just like the best medicinal materials, if there is no exquisite container, rashly storing them will only cause the effectiveness to be lost and eventually destroy the treasure...
Fortunately, the demon general was selfish and unwilling to hand over this hidden "treasure" after digging it out. Otherwise, perhaps the soul and blood droplets here would have been emptied by the upper level long ago, and it would not have been the turn of Chu Tianxiao and the others to "take over".
"Not a bad harvest... This number of Soul Blood Droplets is not only beneficial to my soul, but also... I can use them in the 'Nine Transformations of Dragon Escape', which requires the Soul Awakening Realm to practice..."
Chu Tianxiao has been delaying the second transformation of the Dragon Escape Nine Transformations for a long time. If he can complete the third transformation before the Liu Clan Imperial Palace opens, it will be of great help in saving his life on the battlefield or competing for the secret treasure...
