Dragon Martial Emperor Chapter 147 – Entered the Demon Valley

Chapter 147 – Entered the Demon Valley

The corpses of the five martial experts rested unnoticed in the Heavenly soul forest that stretched ahead of the eastern gate of Hun Yin city.

After killing Qiu Zhenlao’s party of five people, Long Yu searched their corpses for battle weapons. Soon afterwards, he found a middle-grade spiritual level sword with Qiu Zhenlao.

The other four people also had some low-grade spiritual level battle weapons with them, but Long Yu was disinclined towards collecting these weapons because travelling with so many weapons could be highly inconvenient for him.

“I have heard that there exists a battle weapon, named s.p.a.ce battle weapon, which can contain numerous battle weapons inside it and is portable. Unfortunately, such battle weapons are precious and their cost must not be less than that of a mysterious level immortality pill.”

Long Yu felt some pity, but on thinking deeply he realised that even if he carried these low-grade battle weapons with him to sell them off, they could not fetch him any more than forty or fifty crystal coins. Therefore it was wise to leave them here.

As Long Yu was still thinking about what to do with the medium grade spiritual level sword, suddenly he felt his nine hidden dragon mark heating up.

“Well?”

Long Yu was left in more surprise as dense xuan qi released from the nine hidden dragon mark!

And now he could see that there was a storage s.p.a.ce of about one room inside the nine hidden dragon mark!

This discovery left Long Yu overjoyed. He at once placed the four low-grade spiritual level battle weapons inside the mark, and then he placed the medium grade spiritual level sword and also the nine hidden Qian dragon spear inside the nine hidden dragon mark.

Since the combat ended in a short period of time, no one had pa.s.sed through that way till then. As soon as Long Yu was done with searching the battle weapons, he flapped his lunar wings changing his whole persona into a jet black streamer and without wasting any more time, headed east towards the Demon valley.

“It seems that this nine hidden mark has many other useful functions, which will not be revealed until I enhance my cultivation…..”

Long Yu rushed away, thinking to himself.

He was reminded of the Royal Ancient Ginseng forest. When he had stolen the top grade ginseng, the nine hidden dragon mark had covered up the aura of its rich ling qi completely.

It was the same even now.

Whenever Long Yu was stuck between carrying something with him or leaving it there, the nine hidden dragon mark made s.p.a.ce for those things.

However, he still did not know whether this nine hidden dragon mark possessed some other features.

“When I run into some trouble the next time, I will remember to try the nine hidden dragon mark to solve it first.”

Although Long Yu did not want to totally rely upon the nine hidden dragon mark for his strength, these small features were really handy when in some major problem. Moreover, there was no harm in using these features.

When he had released the nine hidden dragon Zhenling from his Dantian, even he felt a tinge of terror.

His body still turned into a jet-black streamer, darted forward in the direction of the Demon valley.

In a while, he had travelled a distance of around one hundred miles and could now distinctly see a mountain valley filled with dense Demonqi (Yaoqi), it indeed was the Demon valley!

The chief entrance to the Demon valley was Taniguchi plain, which was as vast as an entire city. On its both sides were mountain peaks which towered to the sky. No matter how far one could see, one could simply not find the ending.

For ordinary martial experts, Taniguchi plain was the only way to enter the Demon valley.

Only when a martial expert had stepped into the realm of Heaven and man, he was allowed to enter the Demon valley from whichever way he wished – the Taniguchi plain or either of the two mountain peaks that surrounded the Taniguchi plain.

Quickly, Long Yu arrived near the entrance of the Demon valley. There, he took off his Lunar wings and placed them inside the nine hidden dragon mark in order to avoid getting attacked because of his battle weapons again.

As Long Yu looked on, he could see that several martial experts had gathered at the entrance of the Demon valley. Perhaps they were looking for suitable partners to hunt the evil beasts before entering the valley.

After all, the Demon valley was full of deadly beasts and therefore entering the valley alone was highly dangerous!

Only if one had attained a cultivation level of Zhenling 4th layer, they could dare to enter the Demon valley all on their own because even in the exterior areas of the valley, it was probable that some beasts of Zhenling 4th layer might be lurking.

The beasts that inhabited the depths of Demon valley specially sent out patrol troops of other beasts in order to ward off the humans that had entered the valley.

However, if victorious, these beasts wouldn’t mind taking these humans as their next meal.

“Pond Snow and Feng Yao are not here. They should probably have gone inside already….”

Long Yu thought to himself.

As he gradually moved towards the entrance of the Demon valley, n.o.body paid any special attention towards him because Zhenling 2nd layer was nothing special.

Since he had placed all his battle weapons inside the nine hidden dragon mark, his mere body would be of no special interest to the other martial experts.

However, as he neared the Taniguchi plain, he noticed some martial experts staring at him.

“Hey, look at that kid, isn’t he a total waste? Humph, a brat of Zhenling 2nd layer thinks he can enter the Demon valley?”

“In that case, he is a big fool. He is playing with his own life!”

“He is such a fool! He thinks he can breakthrough very easily by coming to this place.”

One group of martial experts was talking among themselves while looking at Long Yu. From their appearance, one could easily deduce that this was a hostile lot who didn’t care about anyone’s life or death.

Each one of them cared only about their own life!

Long Yu surely didn’t pay any attention toward them.

He decided to enter the Demon valley all on his own to hunt the demon beasts. Even if there were chances that he would encounter a Zhenling 4th layer beast, he was not afraid at all.

Just now he had killed opponents of Zhenling 2nd layer and 3rd layer and that too with so ease!

Even while killing all of the five-member party led by Qiu Zhenlao, he had not displayed his full strength yet.

Even if he just displayed the strength of ‘Holding Thunder Charm’, he could have instantly killed Qiu Zhenlao and his four companions.

Moreover, since he had now achieved the enormous strength from Heavenly thunder tablet, there would be no effect on his body from the attacks of the likes of Qiu Zhenlao. He could easily dodge them off and cause great devastation to the opposite party with his powerful counterattacks.

Long Yu finally entered the Demon valley. He felt a cold and gloomy aura coming from inside but still went forward.

The entire Demon valley was filled with dense Demonqi. There was not a single corner left where this cold and spooky aura was not present. If an ordinary martial expert was to enter the Demon valley, his body would soon be corroded by the dense Demonqi.

Only the martial experts who had stepped into the Zhenling realm could resist the Demonqi of this density.

Apart from the deadly beasts whose neidans were the chief object of interest for all the martial experts, this dense Demonqi was another lethal thing present in the Demon valley.

“Chirrrp!”

Long Yu heard a distinct sound and saw something moving near the bushes in front of him, but the thing soon disappeared as if it had never been seen by Long Yu in the first place.

“What kind of beast was that…?”

Long Yu did not know. The opposite party seemed to be a bit timid, so just when it sensed that Long Yu was approaching, it escaped from the place.

As soon as that little beast disappeared, Long Yu could not feel the slight breath of the opposite party, which made him more vigilant.

The Demon valley was the haven for numerous devil beasts, and any of these monsters could hide really well in their own home!

More importantly, the prototype of a demon beast was a wild animal, and these wild animals could hide anywhere and launch a sneak attack all of a sudden!

Luckily enough, Long Yu now had the defensive power of ‘Holding Thunder Charm’ otherwise it could have been fatal for him to venture alone in the Demon valley.

“Is someone approaching?”

Long Yu soon noticed that a team of around five people was approaching him.

Their arrival might prove dangerous to him!

Although there was much danger ahead of them in the Demon valley, still they thought it better to get rid of Long Yu first. According to them, this would not only ensure their safety but would also reap them great profits as they could seize his hidden battle weapons and neidans.

“Their planning is not bad, but unfortunately they are messing up with the wrong person…..”

Long Yu thought to himself. He released xuan qi and flapped his lunar wings, turning himself into a jet black streamer, and rushed forward.

This move immediately startled the team of five people.

“Look, that boy has wings! No doubt he is a transformed demon beast!”

“No! These wings must be some battle weapon. Look at his speed. I’m sure he could rush away so fast only because of these wings.”

“Such being the case, we should pursue him and catch him quickly!”

The five people immediately darted forward in order to catch Long Yu but soon realised that their speeds were nothing compared to the speed with which Long Yu was moving.

A few minutes later, Long Yu had covered a great distance and had completely disappeared from their sight!

By this time, they had travelled a distance of around twelve miles into the Demon valley and now were surrounded by lush green grooves and thick-trunked trees. At any time, they could fall prey to immense danger.

“Do not pursue him! Stay close and be careful, mate!”

The five-member team quickly adjusted themselves to a new formation, since they had entered the Demon valley for the first time.

For hunting in the Demon valley, strength held no importance. What held the real importance was the experience!

Without any proper combat experience, even a Zhenling 4th layer expert would surely die inside the Demon valley.

Since this team of martial experts was composed only of Zhenling 3rd layer experts and were on their first venture inside the Demon valley, what they feared the most was the appearance of a Goblin Snake.

If the Goblin Snake made an upright appearance, there was nothing for them to fear. After all, how could a single Goblin Snake win against five Zhenling experts?

But that was not what these Goblin Snakes were feared the most for.

The Goblin Snakes had a great ability to hide in lush green surroundings such as bushes and marshes, and they were known for launching lethal sneak attacks!

Ordinary experts did not possess the ability to sense the presence of these Goblin Snakes, so when such a beast was to attack, it would immediately break their formation, and once that happened, the entire team would simply be trampled upon.

The five of them alertly moved ahead, totally unaware of the fact that the person whom they were following till now, was now following them!

Long Yu had rushed out of their sight only to follow a circular path and now he was following this team of five people!

Since the other party wanted to rob him, he followed the rule of t.i.t for tat and was now following them with the same motive. Thanks to the terrific speed granted by the lunar wings, he could approach them or retreat from there at any time!
