Six-legged Demon Spider, Pig Monster, Two Flying Beasts, and the first scale-armored demon beast â a total of five Fifth Rank demon beasts killed in succession.
This astonished all the other demon beasts. These were Fifth Rank demons, among which two were at the mid-stage of the Fifth Rank, able to easily release their demon energy, and yet they were slain.
âSlaughter Conception has increased to Second Rank 81%.â Lu Yun knew very well that with every Fifth Rank demon beast he slew, his Slaughter Conception increased, and his control over Killing Intent became even stronger.
âToday thereâs hope to raise it to the Third Rank!â As Lu Yunâs figure quickly moved, his eyes constantly scanned the surrounding environment.
He had already successfully broken through eight Fifth Rank demon beasts, leaving only three.
The Black Bear and giant python were late-stage Fifth Rank demon beasts, and the Sheep Monster was mid-stage Fifth Rank.
Now, with the Black Bear being held up by Commander Xu, Lu Yunâs target was the giant python and the Sheep Monster.
Although in terms of strength, he could easily crush these two Fifth Rank demon beasts, the number of clustered demon beasts around them was more than twice what it had been at the beginning.
âSwoosh.â
Lu Yun finally took the initiative to charge toward the giant python.
Feeling the pressure getting stronger, he decided to risk using a trick. If he could quickly eliminate the late-stage Fifth Rank giant python in a short time, the other demon beasts would be deterred and wouldnât dare to continue rushing forward to die.
âHmm? Finally stopped running?â The giant python noticed that the building-like figure was quickly approaching.
Its body was relatively large, and compared to other demon beasts, it was slower. However, its overall strength was undoubtedly the strongest. Seeing that Lu Yun was no longer running but instead charging straight at it, the python breathed a sigh of relief.
âYouâve killed so many of my brothers, letâs see how much strength you have left!â Greed flickered in the pythonâs lantern-like pupils as its huge body swung wildly, swiftly moving forward.
Compared to the colossal python, Lu Yun looked like a tiny speck, easily crushed to pieces.
At least, thatâs what the other demon beasts thought.
âNot good, this mad pythonâs strength is extremely close to the Fifth Rank peak. If this human falls into its hands, all my efforts will be futile. What should I do?â
Hidden among the pack of demon beasts, the âwiseâ eyes of the Sheep Monster flickered as it considered its options.
It could easily sense the incredibly tempting essence of flesh and blood contained in the tiny humanâs body. Once it devoured it all, it had great confidence in advancing to the late stage of the Fifth Rank.
Although unwilling, it did not dare to show itself.
On one hand, it feared that its âfoodâ would be snatched away by other demon beasts; on the other, it was afraid of being killed by its âfoodâ in return. The Sheep Monsterâs heart was at odds with itself.
âWait a little longer, just a little more!â In the end, the Sheep Monster made up its mind and chose to continue lurking.
âYou guys donât come up, just surround and keep him from running!â The giant python ordered: âI will personally crush him to death; you donât need to interfere, just provide me cover.â
Hearing the pythonâs words, the third and fourth rank demon beasts finally breathed a sigh of relief. They were truly afraid of this human who had continuously slain several Fifth Rank demon beasts.
If it hadnât been for the forced order, they would have gone to other battlefields by now.
Compared to the terrifying mass murderer, Lu Yun, they preferred devouring low-level martial artists.
The lower the level of the demon beast, the lower the conditions required for their advancement. For third and fourth rank demon beasts, even devouring Meridian Passage Realm martial artists would be of great benefit to them.
Looking at the arrogant giant python, Lu Yunâs eyes grew cold, his murderous intent even greater.
âThis beast relies on its terrifying physical defense, thinking I canât handle it. However, the fact that it doesnât let other demon beasts assist is good news for me!â
Lu Yun thought to himself, eyeing the thick and profound scale armor on the pythonâs body. Each piece of scale armor was like a piece of battle armor, extremely hard. Even with the infusion of Slaughter Conception, it could only leave a shallow mark on its body, unable to cause significant damage.
This terrifying defense made the giant python even more difficult to deal with than an actual Fifth Rank peak demon beast.
âGaga, human, obediently become my food!â The pythonâs raised tail spat out beams of yellow light, slamming towards Lu Yun. The moment they hit the ground, thick earth pillars emerged.
At the same time, its agile and robust body whipped its tail across the terrain, leveling the surroundings instantly.
Lu Yunâs figure flashed, appearing behind the python. The light from his long knife flashed, striking the pythonâs rear. With a soft sound, sparks flew from the pythonâs body.
Without a doubt, Lu Yunâs strike had not been successful, and he retreated immediately.
It seemed to have anticipated Lu Yunâs action, as the giant pythonâs tail swept down, causing a thunderous roar in the air.
Boom!
Dust filled the air, and debris scattered.
âWhat a terrifying force. If hit by it, the consequences would be unimaginable.â
Seeing the enormous ravine left on the ground, Lu Yunâs eyes flickered warily.
Initially, he thought he could easily slay the giant python.
Even if the mid-stage Fifth Rank Sheep Monster took a simultaneous action, he wouldnât feel much pressure.
But looking at it now, he had been too optimistic and underestimated the pythonâs strength..
