Li Qingyun spread his hands helplessly and said, "Roughly. The commotion you caused was too big, and I went to check it out only to find that you were almost gone. I just happened to save you."
Wang Teng touched himself all over, covered in wounds.
He thought back to his frenzied battles over the past two days, like an out-of-control monster. He was even a little scared of himself.
He quickly took out several Spirit Replenishing Pills from his storage ring. These were second-grade pills used to recover from injuries.
When Xue Qianwei was refining top-grade Spirit Replenishing Pills for Zhang Xiaohu, she made many more of lower grades.
Because she often chatted with everyone in the group, Boss Xue was very generous and gave everyone a bottle.
"When you fight, stay calm. The malevolent energy in this place will affect us."
Wang Teng said gratefully, "Brother Qingyun, you're so good to me. I'm extremely grateful for saving my life!"
"Get lost. If there's nothing else, I'm leaving!"
"Wait!"
"What is it?"
Wang Teng licked his lips and said to Li Qingyun, "Brother Qingyun, are you interested in taking down that tiger with me?"
Li Qingyun was stunned and said sheepishly, "Actually... I can kill it myself."
"What? Are you bragging? You're only at the Golden Core mid-stage!"
"Last time we entered the Li Huo Palace, Daoist Bai and I obtained a secret technique that can temporarily increase our strength. If I go all out, I can reach the Golden Core late-stage. Killing a fourth-tier demonic beast shouldn't be difficult."
Wang Teng felt like crying. Why was the gap between people so vast?
"Why didn't you call me for such a good thing?"
"I joined midway. Brother Wei and Daoist Bai found it first."
"Sigh, forget it. I won't mess with you anymore! I'll go find it for revenge myself!"
Li Qingyun pondered for a moment and said, "Wait, Big Brother Teng. Why are you so determined to fight that Lightning Demon Tiger?"
Wang Teng clenched his fist, his eyes shining brightly. "In that state just now, although I wasn't very rational, I feel like I'm approaching a realm I've never touched before! Although it's dangerous, I can't stop! Once I stop, this momentum will be gone."
"In that case, perhaps we can go together. As long as you're not in mortal danger, I won't intervene to save you."
"What? Brother, your Big Brother Teng isn't stupid. You can't trick me like this! Although I'm pursuing 'momentum,' I still want that demon core!"
"I won't snatch your demon core. I found a good place that is bound to have good things, but there's a nest of pythons there. Three of them have reached the fourth tier, and there are ten third-tier ones, as well as many lower-tier ones. Isn't this more exciting than that tiger?"
Wang Teng's eyes lit up. "Good brother! If this were that bastard Meng Zibin, he would have hogged all the opportunities he found. You're willing to take your Big Brother Teng along. We'll be brothers from now on, no matter what!"
"You rest for a while. This is not a trivial matter. It's not easy for me to hold off three fourth-tier demonic beasts alone. It will all depend on your performance then!"
"Leave it to me!"
...
Two days passed, and Wang Teng still hadn't grasped the "momentum" that the Dragon Blood Battle Emperor had spoken of. However, he knew it was close. Such exhilarating battles had benefited him greatly.
Indeed, there was a reason why body refiners were rare. The price of becoming stronger was much higher than for ordinary people.
Even with such a desperate effort, fighting until he lost his senses, he still hadn't achieved the desired effect. Moreover, this could only be comprehended through combat; it couldn't be achieved through closed-door cultivation.
Luo Xiaowei and the others had a much smoother experience. His statement was correct; in the "Land of Grudge and Malevolence," he and Qin Xiaoxiao were practically invincible!
However, after Spicy Chicken ate four "Netherworld Shore Flowers," the little thing seemed to have difficulty digesting them and fell into a deep sleep.
There was nothing Qin Xiaoxiao could do but put it into her small backpack.
However, they seemed to have encountered some difficulties. They had arrived at a small hill where over a dozen "Netherworld Shore Flowers" were growing.
Naturally, the number of zombies gathered here was also the largest, with several reaching the Golden Core late-stage, surrounding the two of them.
Qin Xiaoxiao, as usual, was terrified, her face pale and trembling.
"Xiaoxiao, go all out!" Luo Xiaowei said seriously.
"Ah? I can't go all out on my own!"
"You need to get angry! Think about the invasion of the demon race!"
Qin Xiaoxiao cried, "I am! But the more I think about it, the more scared I get. I can't get angry!"
Luo Xiaowei: "???"
He was starting to doubt if "Immortal Elder Brother" had been correct in saying that Qin Xiaoxiao didn't need to change her personality.
A profound sword intent erupted, forming a sword screen that blocked an attacking zombie.
But behind them, another Golden Core late-stage zombie spewed green flames at them.
Luo Xiaowei quickly grabbed Qin Xiaoxiao's hand and rolled aside, dodging the flame that could corrode the air.
Qin Xiaoxiao's face was still deathly pale, and she swung her large hammer around erratically.
Luo Xiaowei gritted his teeth, and patterns of flames appeared on his body.
"Li Huo Nine Revolutions!"
The flames circulated nine times through his meridians, and immense spiritual power erupted from him, briefly elevating his cultivation to the Golden Core mid-stage.
The heavy sword intent, like a wall, sent a Golden Core late-stage zombie flying.
But this move attracted the attention of the zombies behind him!
Luo Xiaowei gritted his teeth and shouted, "If you don't go all out, I'm going to a nightclub to pick up girls!"
These words reached Qin Xiaoxiao's ears, igniting a fire within her!
"What the hell are you talking about?"
Luo Xiaowei's heart leaped. He felt a killing intent, but he pressed on, "I said, I want to go to a nightclub to find girls..."
"Boom!"
The temperature plummeted, and blue ice crystals covered the black land.
That small woman, she unleashed immense energy. She had transformed.
This time, the killing intent was exceptionally strong.
Those cold, blue eyes made Luo Xiaowei swallow hard.
He pointed at the snarling zombies around them. "Honey, can we deal with these things first?"
Qin Xiaoxiao didn't speak, flashing forward with her hammer.
A Golden Core late-stage zombie looked at the hammer enlarging in its vision: "Roar?"
BANG!
Was the ferocious loli's reputation for being wild undeserved? It didn't even let out a scream before being smashed into a ball of black mist!
Luo Xiaowei breathed a sigh of relief, then became excited. "Kill! Don't let any of them escape! We'll definitely be first place!"
