Free Web NovelChapter 151: Chapter 65: Reserve Exorcist_2
"The Stone Demon Clan, we’re all born warriors."
"But disguising ourselves in human form limits our true potential."
Stone Master spoke as he drew a line across the middle of his chest.
The blinding illusion vanished, revealing a yellow talisman stuck to his skin.
"Next, I will face you with all my strength."
He pulled off the yellow talisman.
Crack...
Then Ree Shil saw, starting from where the yellow talisman was affixed, Stone Master’s skin began to petrify inch by inch.
In the blink of an eye, the petrified color swept across his whole body.
"Is this your true form?"
"That’s right, I hope it didn’t scare you."
"...You’re just turning your skin stone-colored, right?"
Ree Shil was initially expecting the other party’s form to change considerably, but now, he could not help but feel a bit disappointed.
This guy seemed inferior compared to the Desire Fire Flora Demon and the Iron Feather Giant Sparrow.
However, Stone Master’s next move didn’t let him down.
He lifted his left foot and stomped on the ground.
Bang!
The stone floor of the martial academy cracked under his stomp.
"Wow, that’s really powerful."
Ree Shil discovered that this so-called true form was indeed something formidable.
If it were him, not to mention whether he had the strength to crack the stone slab, at least his palm undoubtedly couldn’t be that hard.
Thus, the two prepared to begin.
"Can I use my artifact?" freewēbnoveℓ.com
Ree Shil wanted to practice his stick technique.
"Hehe, suit yourself."
Stone Master was unconcerned.
As Exterminator Thirteen’s apprentice, a mere apprentice would at most be able to control some lower level artifacts.
When the simple and unadorned Black Iron Rod was taken out, he completely relaxed, confirming his suspicions.
"Don’t blame me for not warning you in advance, these kinds of artifacts don’t have much effect on our Stone Demon Clan."
"Our stone skin is inherently thick and hard, no point in trying with swords, guns, sticks or clubs."
"If you want to deal with our clan, magic techniques are more efficient than artifacts."
"If you don’t believe me, you can try."
Having said that, he even stretched out his head.
He indicated Ree Shil to not worry and just hit him. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com
Since he had laid down the challenge, Ree Shil of course could not refuse.
Other things aside, he was quite skilled at knocking heads with his stick.
Looked at the other party’s build and appearance, compared with the contacts just now.
Making a rather inappropriate horizontal comparison, it seems this guy might be of the same level as the Strengthened Mourning Beast.
Might be slightly stronger than the Strengthened Mourning Beast, but not by much.
If he is allowed to hit him now, he is confident that he can crash the Strengthened Mourning Beast’s head in one go.
From the looks of it, Stone Master seemed to have great physical defense. He should be able to handle a little restraint.
Having thought about it, Ree Shil decided to use the same force as if knocking an Ordinary Zombie Beast’s head.
"Just feel free to hit me, but be careful not to hurt your hand due to the counterforce."
Stone Master smirked again at this moment.
"Alright, then be careful."
Seeing that Stone Master intended to enable him, Ree Shil lifted his hand and struck with his rod.
Clang!
As he had thought, the sensation was even harder than when he hit the Strengthened Mourning Beast.
Ree Shil silently praised Stone Master for his skill.
But how could he know that since the moment Stone Master was hit, a storm had been brewing inside him.
You have to understand that some Demon Clans have structures similar to humans. For example, humans have a circulatory system, they have a Demon Qi circulation system.
Only, blood is liquid while Demon Qi is gas.
The effects are also similar, Demon Qi circulates to every inch of the demon clan’s body, providing them with energy.
So you could say that Demon Qi importance to the Demon Clan is equivalent to the importance of blood to humans.
But now, Stone Master felt a strange force pour into his brain and push against his Demon Qi.
As the headmaster of the Martial Arts Hall, he has indeed had a fair share of showdowns.
Among them, there were quite a few exorcists.
He had faced many artifacts and magic techniques, and faced them head on.
But this kind of bizarre and terrifying situation was a first!
"Stone Master?"
Seeing the other party not moving, Ree Shil wondered if he had been too forceful.
Then he saw Stone Master raise his frightened face in response to his call.
Crack...
Just as Stone Master was about to speak, a crack started to spread from the corner of his mouth.
One, two, three ...
More and more cracks spread all over his body like a spider web, and they continuously extended and deepened.
Crumble!
In just a few seconds, Ree Shil watched as his opponent cracked all over and finally disintegrated into rubble on the ground.
"??!!"
He didn’t expect the Iron Rod fused with Immortal Qi to be so powerful.
He accidentally killed a Spirit Demon with his first move, how was he going to clean up this mess?
Just as Ree Shil was dumfounded, the pile of stones on the ground surprisingly started to speak.
"What... what sort of artifact is this?"
Upon closer inspection, one block retained Stone Master’s mouth.
"Are you alright?"
Ree Shil couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Do I look alright to you?!"
Stone Master’s tone was tense.
Luckily his Stone Demon Clan has a unique innate constitution where they can disintegrate into pieces to offset harm when their lives are threatened.
Otherwise, he feared that blow just now might have killed him!
"So...should I go find a doctor for you?"
Ree Shil hesitated.
"This isn’t something a doctor can cure!"
