Dragon Martial Emperor Chapter 150 – The command of execution

Chapter 150 – The command of execution

The corpse of a formidable beast was no less than a treasure for any martial expert.

And now, Long Yu had two of them!

The body of a Zhenling 4th layer beast could not only provide him with a neidan from which Yaoqi could be absorbed to enhance cultivation, but it could also provide him with a special thing from its Zhenling ent.i.ty, called the “Demon Soul Essence”.

(Mystique: Yaoqi = Demonqi)

Strictly speaking, the ent.i.ty congealed by a beast should not be called Zhenling ent.i.ty. It should be called “Demon ent.i.ty”.

However, there was a little difference between these two. Just the way a Zhenling ent.i.ty could not operate itself but was dependent upon the human martial expert, who had congealed it. In the similar fas.h.i.+on, a Demon ent.i.ty depended upon the beast that had congealed.

By consuming the Demon Soul essence, one could congeal his own Zhenling ent.i.ty!

When a martial expert or a beast died, the Zhenling ent.i.ty or the Demon ent.i.ty dissipated into the environment soon after. So, there was not much time for someone to seize the Demon Soul Essence.

Moreover, Demon Soul Essence was a precious thing for any Zhenling realm martial expert.

One could simply not find anyone selling Demon Soul Essence in the market, because as soon as someone killed a beast, they needed to absorb it immediately.

Only the corpses of the beasts with a cultivation level of Zhenling 4th layer and above could produce Demon Soul Essence.

And Demon Soul Essence disappeared into the environment within one hour of the host’s death.

At this moment, Long Yu had too much for a harvest.

Since he had killed two Zhenling 4th layer beasts on his own, the rock rhino beast and the Goblin Snake beast, he would get to absorb the Demon Soul Essence of both these beasts!

Soon afterwards, Long Yu started digging through the corpse of the Goblin Snake.

As the Goblin Snake’s body was relatively small, Long Yu seized its neidan, absorbed its Demon Soul Essence immediately and placed the snake’s corpse inside the nine hidden dragon mark.

Then, with the help of the power contained within the Demon Soul Essence, Long Yu started refining his Zhentian Sun!

In spite of the damage, caused by the venom of the Goblin Snake, being too high, the Zhentian Sun was soon restored to its former glory and was now more concise and potent than ever.

“The effect of a single Demon soul Essence is equivalent to the effect of three to five neidans of Zhenling beasts!”

Long Yu’s face lit up.

Surely the decision of hunting the beasts on his own had reaped him great rewards. The effect of neidans that he had bought would have been nothing as compared to the effect of a single Demon Soul Essence.

Moreover, fighting such formidable beasts alone had greatly increased his battle efficiency and helped him test various battle tactics!

However, it was an extremely dangerous task for a martial expert to do. If someone did not have a sufficient cultivation level, messing up even with a single Zhenling 4th layer beast could result in their death!

If a martial expert of Zhenling 4th realm succeeded in slaying a beast of the same cultivation level, he could do it with relative ease, but for the purpose of enhancing their cultivation level, the Demon Soul Essence of the beast would not be enough. He would definitely need more.

Since absorbing the Demon Soul Essence of a beast of the same level would obviously not reap any great benefits.

In case of Long Yu, since he was just a Zhenling 2nd layer expert, his needs for a breakthrough into the 3rd layer were not as high. As long as he had sufficient amount of Yaoqi, breakthrough was not an issue.

But if someone wished to enter into the Zhenling 4th layer and congeal a Zhenling ent.i.ty, in that case, they would need much more resources. But this was something Long Yu was not concerned about right now.

After the corpse of the Goblin Snake being taken care of, Long Yu’s primary concern was the corpse of the rock rhino beast.

The reason for his worry was the size of the beast’s body which was an enormous heap of rocks!

Long Yu did not know exactly which body parts of this rock rhino beast were valuable, so he decided to simply take the large horn on its forehead. Afterwards, he absorbed the Demon Soul Essence and the neidan of the rock rhino beast.

As for the rest of its body, he had to leave it there.

“The skin of this rock rhino beast could be used to manufacture strong, spiritual level armor. It’s such a pity that I have to leave it here because there are no means with which I can obtain it…..”

The skin of the rock rhino beast was as hard as a granite rock, so if Long Yu was to take a chance of seizing it, it would cost him a lot of valuable time and storage s.p.a.ce.

And this place, the Demon valley, was filled with numerous dangers!

He had to be satisfied with what he had seized and move on, or else he could be attacked by any other beast or human expert.

………………

Time flew by.

It had already been seven days since Long Yu had entered the Demon valley alone.

After killing a rock rhino beast and a Goblin Snake beast, Long Yu roamed in the Demon valley but could not find any more beasts to kill.

Even the Zhenling 4th layer beasts, as soon as they sensed Long Yu approaching, hid themselves away!

“Do these wicked beasts also have some form of communication among them? I wonder if they already know that I have killed the rock rhino beast and the Goblin Snake.”

Long Yu thought to himself. He was aware of the fact that these beasts took the initiative of attacking a human martial expert only when they were sure of their victory.

This made Long Yu feel that he was wasting his time.

It seemed to him that relying too much on the Demon valley in order to quickly enhance his cultivation was not a good idea.

Now Long Yu came to know that these wicked beasts could not be treated like wild animals. They were not mindless creatures; instead each demon beast had a very high intelligence quotient!

Since both the parties – the humans and the beasts were mutually killing each other inside the Demon valley; this prevented the complete domination of a single party.

If a human powerhouse entered the Demon valley, he would encounter an equally powerful beast inside the valley.

It was a territory of wicked beasts!

In comparison with the Tang kingdom, the Mongolian kingdom etc, the overall influence of the Demon valley was extremely formidable. Moreover, on an average, the individual strength of a demon beast also went beyond the strength of any human martial expert hailing from the three kingdoms.

However, the number of demon beasts present in the Demon valley was certainly not much more than that of the Tang kingdom.

If an ordinary person thought of entering the Demon valley to quickly enhance their cultivation, he should immediately drop the idea as it would certainly lead to their demise!

Because of this, only the desperate martial experts with higher cultivation levels entered the Demon valley for enhancing their cultivation, as survival was almost impossible there!

The Tang kingdom had seven sects and many influential families but did anyone from these sects or families ever come to the Demon valley?

They were well provided with all the necessary resources one would need to break through the bottlenecks, so there was no need for them to enter the Demon valley, only to get killed!

Long Yu was ready to leave the Demon valley.

After all, staying there and waiting was only wasting his precious time. Moreover, staying vigilant at all times for seven days had caused great mental exhaustion to Long Yu.

He must take a break!

He activated his lunar wings which changed his figure into a jet black streamer and he rushed toward the western gate entrance of the Demon valley.

Halfway there, he saw a group of humans moving together. It was them!

Pond Snow, wearing a fur jacket, the bare-chested Deng Shun and a girl clad in pale green dress – Feng Yao.

The only change Long Yu could notice was that this team was short of one man. Pond Snow, Deng Shun, Feng Yao and three more – there were six people instead of seven.

“It seems that one of them died while they raided the dragon beast’s lair…..”

Long Yu watched from a distance, narrowing his eyes.

Pond Snow and others seemed to be very happy about the plunder. Pond Snow and Deng Shun were laughing with each dragging the corpse of a demon beast.

These two demon beasts were Zhenling 4th layer beasts!

Unfortunately, they had become more of a war trophy for Pond Snow and his team.

The actions of Pond Snow were different from that of Long Yu. He had planned everything in advance. Perhaps that was the reason why all of the beasts in the Demon valley were afraid of him now.

Moreover, Pond Snow’s goal was to plunder the lair of the dragon beast, so even if someone attacked them unexpectedly, they would only be courting.

Therefore, Pond Snow was easily able to successfully lead the team to achieve his goal and plunder the whole lair.

Long Yu was looking from afar.

The dragon beast looked pretty much like a white-haired monkey, but its wings were extremely long and the pair of fangs in his mouth gave him a sinister appearance.

Long Yu did not want to meet Pond Snow and his party so he decided to stay away and bypa.s.s them.

After all, Pond Snow and his team were dragging the corpses of two beasts. Naturally, their speed was slow.

However, if Long Yu appeared even in a range of hundred feet, the opposite party could sense his presence!

Since the people in Pond Snow’s team were at Zhenling 3rd layer, naturally they were more vigilant than Long Yu.

Long Yu noticed that they were now disputing among themselves.

Immediately afterwards, Long Yu noticed that the six people were now approaching towards him.

“Hm?”

Long Yu narrowed his eyes as he was unable to figure out what exactly was the opposite party planning to do.

However, he did not flinch.

The only reason he was avoiding Pond Snow and his party was to save time. But if the opposite party attacked him, he would not be afraid and would surely give it to them.

Although Pond Snow and Deng Shun were dragging the corpses of the beasts with them, still their speed was high that surprised Long Yu.

Long Yu was sure that these people had raided the lair of a dragon beast just by observing the differences in their previous and current martial techniques.

If Deng Shun and others had not increased their strength, it would have been impossible for them to kill two demon beasts of Zhenling 4th layer!

If Long Yu could not escape them, he could simply stay there for some more time to have a little chitchat.

What Long Yu was most interested in, was to see how Feng Yao was now.

The distance between Pond Snow’s team and Long Yu decreased gradually and was now only a hundred feet and now Long Yu could clearly be seen by the opposite party.

“Younger brother Long Yu, run as fast as you can!”

He heard Pond Snow’s loud voice and sensed a hint of anxiety in his voice.

However, at this moment, it was already too late.

“Men of Xinghai Lun, kill Long Yu on sight. Show no mercy!”

Deng Shun darted toward Long Yu, still dragging the corpse of the demon beast that he had killed. His eyes flashed with a strong killing intention.

The next moment, apart from the four people that accompanied Pond Snow and Feng Yao, several people, with their eyes flas.h.i.+ng fiercely, came swarming to that place from all the directions, with Long Yu trapped in the middle!

Unexpectedly it was a command of execution!

Long Yu narrowed his eyes. He never imagined that so many people would swarm in out of nowhere just to kill him!

Feng Yao was standing nearby, her eyes flas.h.i.+ng with astonishment just as Long Yu, clearly showing that even she was not aware of this.

However, Long Yu thought to himself, could it be that Feng Yao teamed up with Xinghai Lun knowing full well that he had ordered his men to kill Long Yu?

Since she had always despised Long Yu, the possibility was big!

With this thought, a cold look flashed in Long Yu’s eyes.
