CHAPTER 460: CHAPTER 430 COLD WATER TOWN

With this sword strike, Lu Yuanshan easily broke through the Saw-scaled Snake’s sturdy defense.

Hiss hiss.

Cut into two pieces, the Saw-scaled Snake’s life force was very tenacious. Driven by the powerful force of its body, the snake head suddenly snapped and bit towards Lu Yuanshan.

After its body was severed, the Saw-scaled Snake’s eyes turned crimson, losing all reason and becoming extremely ferocious.

Facing the Saw-scaled Snake’s desperate struggle, Lu Yuanshan remained calm. With a slight raise of his eyebrow, he commanded the nearby Golden Crow Sword, which pierced through the air with a swishing sound, transforming into a dark gold light piercing into the Saw-scaled Snake’s giant mouth.

Then, the Golden Crow Sword pierced through the Saw-scaled Snake’s body, flying out from above its head, emitting an ethereal hum.

"Among these demon beasts, this Saw-scaled Snake is the most formidable. Normally, with your Eighth-Layer Foundation Establishment stage cultivation, killing it would require quite some effort."

Lu Ping said casually, looking down at the demon beast group below, expanding his Divine Sense to probe the approximate strength of these demon beasts.

The Saw-scaled Snake just now had the strongest combat strength.

The other Tier Two Demon Beasts were completely manageable with Lu Yuanshan’s Foundation Establishment stage cultivation.

Let alone the current Lu Yuanshan.

As for those Tier One Demon Beasts, like some Wolf Demons, Rabbit Demons, Crocodile Demons, these were merely cannon fodder in Lu Yuanshan’s eyes, purely sources of Battle Merit Points.

Overlooking the hundreds or thousands of demon beasts below, if left unchecked, they would soon invade nearby town defenses.

There was no need to hesitate, nor any need for pity in dealing with these demon beasts.

The demon beast tides in the Southern Wilderness every century lead to thousands of cultivators becoming demon beast meals, especially when they invade mortal cities, resulting in city massacres.

Commanding the Wind Thunder Wings, Lu Yuanshan stood in the void, both hands forming seals, simultaneously wielding the Taiyi Celestial Ruins Sword and Golden Crow Sword, slashing violently towards the beast group below.

Under Crystal Stage power control, just the residual Sword Qi from the dual swords’ bodies killed several Tier One Demon Beasts.

Even Tier Two Demon Beasts were not Lu Yuanshan’s match, able to be one-shotted, let alone these Tier One Demon Beasts.

In wielding the dual swords against these demon beasts, Lu Yuanshan exerted no effort at all.

Meanwhile, Lu Ping watched his eldest son wreaking havoc among the demon beasts, as if seeing numerous Battle Merit Points rapidly accumulating above Lu Yuanshan’s head.

Watching made Lu Ping secretly pleased.

Furthermore, the "Three-star Crystal Power" effect not only lasted for twelve hours but also extended Lu Yuanshan’s Magical Power duration.

With his son’s current combat strength, wiping out this beast group of over a thousand wouldn’t require much effort.

The beast group’s initial bloodthirsty frenzy quickly turned into a chaotic escape as numerous beasts were slain.

Amid beast roars, flying sword sounds, and slashing, in less than an hour, Lu Yuanshan cleared out the beast group alone.

Crystallization Cultivators’ combat power is so fierce, capable of annihilating a thousand-beast group single-handedly.

This made Lu Yuanshan resolutely aware that he must cultivate diligently to reach the Crystallization Stage sooner.

After recovering and resting briefly, Lu Yuanshan and Lu Ping began counting the spoils of this operation.

Lu Yuanshan glanced at his Battle Merit Token, discovering a net addition of ten thousand points.

The largest source of Battle Merit Points came from the Black-striped Carving and Sky-Shaking Red Falcon, both Tier Three Demon Beasts.

Slaying one Tier Three Demon Beast earns one thousand Battle Merit Points.

Killing one Foundation Establishment Demon Beast is one hundred points.

This beast group counted over twelve hundred members, including more than three hundred and sixty Tier Two Demon Beasts, providing Lu Yuanshan with nearly four thousand Battle Merit Points.

The remaining Tier One Demon Beasts totaled over nine hundred, earning approximately four to five thousand points.

And that’s not all.

The demon beast corpses themselves are treasures.

Lu Yuanshan used over ten Storage Bags to collect these demon beast corpses.

Notably, after clearing the demon beast group at Bone Demon Cliff, Lu Ping calculated that Lu Yuanshan had about ten hours left of Crystallization Stage power.

If they returned to Purple Fire Castle, Dubhe Institute’s battle arrangements would likely afford Lu Yuanshan several days for rest.

This Crystal Power couldn’t be wasted.

Thus, following Lu Ping’s guidance, Lu Yuanshan used the Wind Thunder Wings, roaming within a thousand-mile radius of Bone Demon Cliff.

The appearance of a beast group often accompanies solitary or roaming demon beasts.

These demon beasts are hunted by Dubhe Institute and Nine Cold Mountain, just like the White-winged Griffin that recently fled the Southern Wilderness Frontline and appeared at Lianyushan.

Nine Cold Mountain dispatched Han Youdao for the hunt.

Under the scanning Divine Sense of Lu Ping, the Golden Core Ancestor, all demon beasts within several hundred miles were known thoroughly.

The first targets Lu Ping focused on were the Tier One Crystallization Demon Beasts.

Killing one Tier Three Demon Beast earns ten times the points of a Tier Two Demon Beast.

Naturally, more killing equals not hesitating to strike.

Next, Tier Two demon beasts were also cleared.

Under Lu Ping’s guidance, Lu Yuanshan’s first stop was a town named Cold Water Town.

Here, a group of Spirit Sword Sect cultivators were stationed.

Their garrison term was one month.

Such strategic deployments are common.

Dubhe Institute has stationed several teams like this at front-line strategic points, establishing layered defenses.

Arriving at Cold Water Town, Lu Yuanshan saw a massive Golden Rhino leading over ten Tier Two demon beasts in an assault on Cold Water Town.

Though only a dozen beasts insufficiently form a beast group, the leader being a Tier Three Demon Beast troubled the Spirit Sword Sect cultivators stationed at Cold Water Town.

Originally, guarding a front-line town is relatively relaxed.

Because when a beast group emerges, their activities are quickly detected by Dubhe Institute and Nine Cold Mountain, immediately assessing the group’s size and strength, assigning appropriate teams for cleanup.
