Young Noble Be Monster Slaying

Chu Liang, please stop killing, I’m scared. Du Wuhen pleaded inwardly as he followed Chu Liang.

The corpses of sea beasts were scattered everywhere around them.

He felt as though he was in a dream, and he almost forgot how he had managed to survive before this.

Du Wuhen couldn’t help but wonder, Is this really supposed to be a place of trials? Did these things almost kill me?

After slaughtering for some time, Chu Liang realized that even with the Crimson Devil Helmet on, he couldn’t find any more sea beasts.

These creatures had their own ways of gathering information. Upon realizing that a god of slaughter had entered their territory, they fled the moment Chu Liang came close.

"Haaaaaaa..." Chu Liang returned to the two of them with a disappointed expression and said, “It looks like that’s the end of it. I can’t catch any more of these demonic beasts in the sea.”

"I can help," Jiang Yuebai said.

As she spoke, she gently pricked her finger, letting several drops of blood infused with the aura of a Transcendent Spirit fall into the sea. Her blood, now even more potent due to her high cultivation level, had grown even more tempting.

Soon, the waters trembled with ripples of agitation, and the sea beasts began to draw near. Their fear had been overtaken by greed.

"Hehe," Chu Liang chuckled happily, swinging his Demon-Slaying Sword as he charged forward.

Swoosh!

No matter what demonic beast it was, all met the same fate—killed in one strike.

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

As he continued his slaughter, the sea beasts suddenly cleared a path, as though a far more terrifying presence had arrived.

With his sharp senses, Chu Liang immediately stopped.

In the next moment, a ball of golden light fell from the sky, accompanied by an ear-piercing roar. “RAAAAAAAR!”

Boom!

Chu Liang instantly activated Dimension Compression, narrowly dodging the golden light that crashed down from above.

He turned to see a massive golden-furred ape. Its fiery coat of hair shimmered like golden flames, and its eyes burned with ferocity. Clad in ancient armor, it exuded an imposing aura.

That was definitely Wuzhiqi.

Chu Liang recognized the beast at once. This was the mighty creature that all the sea beasts feared.

Wuzhiqi was drawn to battle, often seeking to provoke stronger opponents. It only allowed those it deemed worthy to leave.

"That said, I’m a little puzzled,” Chu Liang mused. “Why is the boss of the Sea of Demons a primate?”

"Maybe because it’s an aquatic primate?" Du Wuhen replied, feeling a bit speechless. "But is that really the point? The important point is you’ve drawn it out. If you can defeat it, you’ll be able to leave. If not—”

"Then I’ll rip you apart..." Wuzhiqi snarled, speaking in human language with a menacing grin.

"Then let’s give it a try," Chu Liang said, gripping the Demon-Slaying Sword tightly. He spread his wings and collided head-on with the golden light.

Boom!

With a single blow, Chu Liang was thrown over two hundred zhang, crashing into a massive seabed boulder and embedding himself within it.

Wuzhiqi stood still, golden blood dripping from its arm.

This aquatic primate... must have the physique of a seventh-realm demonic beast, Chu Liang thought as he flew out of the boulder.

His limbs still felt numb. The force of the collision just now had far exceeded the power typically displayed by a sixth-realm demonic beast.

If a demonic beast in the Sea of Demons reached the seventh realm, they would have left this place, which meant that Wuzhiqi was likely at the peak of the sixth realm. However, due to the years of training in this seawater, its physical strength had grown incredibly powerful. Without the Demon-Slaying Sword, it would have been nearly impossible to even break its defenses.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuebai asked, "Do you need help?"

"Not for now."

Even as Chu Liang faced such a powerful opponent, he showed no fear. With a flash of brilliance, he transformed into his Three-Headed and Six-Armed Form.

In one hand, he wielded the Demon-Slaying Sword; in another, the Dustless Sword; and in a third, the Crimson Executioner. A fourth hand gripped the Demon-Binding Rope, and a fifth held the Bewildering Beads.

The last hand remained empty, gesturing provocatively as Chu Liang shouted, "Come at me!"

As expected, Wuzhiqi charged forward again, a golden light streaking toward him with a deafening roar.

Once again, Chu Liang was sent flying several hundred zhang away, which was hardly surprising. However, another Chu Liang emerged from the hole on the boulder. It turned out that the one struck away had been merely a clone, created using External Manifestation.

The real Chu Liang, still in his Three-Headed and Six-Armed Form, emerged from the hole on the boulder. Seizing the moment right after Wu Zhiqi's strike, he used every enchanted tool in his storage, hurling them all at Wuzhiqi.

The Demon-Binding Rope trapped Wuzhiqi, the Bewildering Beads blinded it, and the three swords danced in a whirlwind of strikes. Within moments, Wuzhiqi was wounded once again. This time, the wound nearly reached Wuzhiqi's bones.

Unfortunately, only the Demon-Slaying Sword could break through its defenses, but one strike was not enough to kill it. As Wuzhiqi regained its senses, it lashed out with a ferocious kick.

Boom!

In a straightforward and brutal strike, Chu Liang was once again sent flying.

This time, the wound cut dangerously deep into Wuzhiqi's flesh, enraging the beast. It roared furiously and charged after Chu Liang, intent on delivering a fatal blow.

As the golden light streaked toward him, and just as Jiang Yuebai was preparing to intervene, a crack of thunder suddenly resounded.

Rumble!

A divine thunderbolt descended from the sky. Though Wuzhiqi was not injured, it was momentarily immobilized once again.

Seizing the opportunity, Chu Liang sprang up and delivered another strike with the Demon-Slaying Sword.

This time, he had learned his lesson. He struck swiftly and retreated immediately, leaving no chance for a counterattack.

"Aaaarghhh!" Wuzhiqi roared in frustration.

Its fury mounted with each successive blow as the wounds grew deeper, driving it to give chase with relentless rage.

However, just as it drew near, Chu Liang once again used the Bewildering Beads, blinding Wuzhiqi momentarily. Then, he followed up with another strike of the Demon-Slaying Sword before he immediately turned and fled.

Swoosh!

Wuzhiqi’s golden blood had already dyed a vast expanse of the water, yet it couldn’t even lay a finger on Chu Liang's hair.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh!" It pounded its chest in frustration, then finally gritted its teeth and bellowed, "I give up! I give up!"

Chu Liang's kite-flying strategy[1] rendered Wuzhiqi completely helpless. He had too many methods to control Wuzhiqi's movements, and the Demon-Slaying Sword could easily break through its defenses. These factors severely undermined Wuzhiqi's greatest strengths—its incredible speed and formidable durability.

Although Wuzhiqi was strong, each time it struck Chu Liang, a portion of the impact was absorbed by the Jiuli Soul Armor, with a significant amount of the force rebounding back onto Wuzhiqi itself.

With every advantage countered, winning was practically impossible.

Hearing Wuzhiqi’s surrender, Chu Liang exhaled in relief. The kite-flying strategy was like dancing on a blade’s edge—any mistake could lead to a devastating blow. If the opponent admitted defeat, it was the best possible outcome.

He said, "Let’s consider it a draw this time. If there’s another chance, I’ll challenge you again. For now, let us leave."

"Fine!" Wuzhiqi agreed with a nod, raising its arm as golden light flashed.

Swoosh!

The surging waves above suddenly parted, revealing a rift that opened a path forward.

Chu Liang asked, "Is this your hidden realm?"

"Of course not," Wuzhiqi replied. "I am merely the gatekeeper here."

"Then..." Chu Liang, intrigued by the answer, asked, "Who is the owner of this hidden realm?"

Wuzhiqi shook its head without answering.

Seeing that Wuzhiqi refused to respond, Chu Liang didn’t press further. He called Jiang Yuebai and Du Wuhen, and the three of them prepared to leave together.

Du Wuhen hesitated for a moment. Daoist Xuan Lu had sent him here to train, intending for him to join Penglai once his cultivation improved.

He couldn't help but think, If I left like this, would it…

But then, another thought crossed his mind.

To hell with Daoist Xuan Lu. He never even treated me like a person. I’m leaving no matter what! And I’m leaving first!

With this thought, he ascended into the air angrily and headed toward the rift to leave.

At that moment, a sudden change occurred.

A figure suddenly materialized in the space above. He was a sickly-looking middle-aged man with an otherwise unremarkable appearance, yet he exuded an unmistakably threatening aura. He had concealed himself so well that Du Wuhen only noticed him when he was practically within arm’s reach.

Swoosh.

Du Wuhen had no time to react and could only make a slight dodge as the man casually swung his hand.

With his hand shaped like a saber, the man’s strike nearly severed Du Wuhen’s head from his neck. Although he managed to dodge, half of his shoulder was cleaved away from the rest of his body.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Du Wuhen screamed in agony as he plummeted to the ground.

The middle-aged man turned his lifeless gaze toward Chu Liang and Jiang Yuebai, a searing hatred igniting in his eyes.

"My wife is suffering in the Celestial Northern Prison, and yet here you are being a sweet couple," he muttered. "You should both die together as a couple..."

1. Basically, this is a strategy that involves keeping a safe distance from enemies while continuously attacking them. ☜
