Free Web NovelChapter 36: Chapter 36: Controllable Risk
Just as the Black Crow Spirit was about to reach the Mountain Goat Spirit, a glittering gold Yuanbao Seal smashed down fiercely.
"What is that thing!"
The Black Crow Spirit was, after all, a veteran of late-stage Qi Refining, with a great deal of experience in magical combat.
Seeing the seal smashing down, he quickly activated his defensive magical artifact to protect his body.
Although his defensive magical artifact was not a Middle-grade Magical Artifact, it was a masterpiece among Lower Grade ones.
Moreover, he had been refining it for many years!
BOOM!
The Yuanbao Seal crashed down, colliding violently with the Black Crow Spirit’s Body-Protecting Magical Artifact.
"This is bad!"
The Black Crow Spirit’s expression changed drastically.
The oppressive force coming from it was unexpectedly strong.
’It’s a Middle-grade Magical Artifact!’
Seeing his defensive magical artifact about to give way, the Black Crow Spirit quickly slapped on a Middle-Grade Defense Demon Talisman.
The Demon Talisman transformed into a faint white light that enveloped his entire body.
Even with the Demon Talisman protecting him, the Black Crow Spirit still felt no sense of security.
In that last collision, he had been completely outmatched.
He quickly activated his attacking magical artifact, ready to counter at any moment.
’Who could it be!?’
Although the Black Crow Spirit was a veteran Qi Refining Seventh Layer demon, he only possessed one Middle-grade Magical Artifact.
It was the trapping magical artifact he had just deployed, which was perfect for bullying weaker opponents.
This was also the reason he had led the team to attack the Spirit Plant Garden.
With him present, the demons in the Spirit Plant Garden would have found it difficult to escape.
However, this also meant the Black Crow Spirit was at a slight disadvantage in a direct one-on-one assault.
What’s more, he was facing Xu Chang’an.
The Yuanbao Seal pressed down once again.
The Black Crow Spirit was just about to use his magical artifact to counter when his mind suddenly went into a trance, as if a demonic sound had rung out.
Demonic Sound!
BOOM!
His attacking magical artifact was smashed to the ground, and the Great Seal continued its descent, pressing down on the Black Crow Spirit’s protective light shield.
The Demon Power within the Yuanbao Seal was extraordinary; a single blow made the light shield tremble violently.
SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
Following the Yuanbao Seal, several spells came flying in.
CRACK~
The protective light shield shattered, dissolving into specks of light.
At that moment, the Black Crow Spirit had just broken free from the Demonic Sound’s interference.
BOOM!
The Black Crow Spirit’s demon body was crushed to the ground by the Yuanbao Seal.
"Damn it!"
The Black Crow Spirit roared furiously.
He was about to erupt with Demon Power and use his techniques.
The Demonic Sound he had just struggled to escape rang out again.
His mind grew hazy and confused, and he didn’t know what to do.
SQUELCH~
His Demon Power erupted as the Great Seal pressed down. Lacking any protective measures, the Black Crow Spirit was crushed into a bloody pulp.
The Qi Refining Seventh Layer Black Crow Spirit was dead!
"Elder!"
Several nearby demons cried out in alarm.
It was unimaginable. Just a moment ago, the situation had been completely in their favor.
And now...
Their Elder had died on the spot!
The tables had turned in an instant, catching them completely off guard!
Even a Qi Refining Seventh Layer Elder had fallen within a few rounds. freewebnovel.cσ๓
The remaining demons from Black Crow Mountain had already lost their nerve. One by one, they tried to flee.
But a strange mist suddenly began to swirl around the area.
The demons’ vision blurred, and they couldn’t see the path ahead clearly.
An Illusion Barrier!
The Yuanbao Seal smashed down again and again, accompanied by a bombardment of magic.
Amidst a series of bloodcurdling screams, all the remaining demons from Black Crow Mountain were killed.
"This..."
The Mountain Goat Spirit watched the turn of events, completely dumbfounded.
"Which senior is helping my Langlang Mountain!"
Hmph!
An incomparably tyrannical cold snort rang out.
Demonic Sound!
The Mountain Goat Spirit felt waves of Demonic Sound wash over him, causing his head to feel like it would split open.
Illusion Barrier!
A white fog appeared all around, obscuring the entire scene.
Seeing that all the Langlang Mountain demons were trapped in the Demonic Sound and Illusion Barrier of the Illusory Bell,
Xu Chang’an finally revealed himself.
Back when he was at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer, he could already kill a Qi Refining Seventh Layer Old Demon in magical combat.
Now, killing a mere Qi Refining Seventh Layer demon and his followers was naturally no trouble at all.
The token-shaped magical artifact now lay on the ground nearby, its light dim.
It was the Black Crow Spirit’s Middle-grade Trapping Magical Artifact, the Earth Suppression Order!
After collecting the remaining magical artifacts from the ground, taking the storage bags from the Black Crow Spirit and the other demons, and cleaning up the scene,
Xu Chang’an’s figure flickered, and he appeared before the numerous spirit plants in the Spirit Plant Garden.
’The time and place are right. My wish is finally fulfilled!’
Back when he first arrived at Langlang Mountain and heard about the Spirit Plant Garden,
he had wondered what level his cultivation would reach if he could devour the spirit plants inside without restraint.
And now, he could finally put it to the test.
’Let’s begin!’
Xu Chang’an’s eyes shone as he deactivated his Concealment Spell.
Returning to his normal size, he pounced among the spirit plants and began to devour them frantically.
One after another, he swallowed the spirit plants. They transformed into streams of heat that coursed through his body before finally being absorbed by some unknown entity.

The Energy on his panel steadily accumulated.
...
SWOOSH! SWOOSH! SWOOSH!
The sound of several figures breaking through the air drew near, putting Xu Chang’an instantly on alert.
’Demons are coming!’
He quickly circulated his Demon Power, used his Stealth Technique to change his appearance, and transformed into a Lion Spirit.
After years of practice, his Concealment Spell could now change his body size.
A massive, thirty-foot-tall Lion Spirit suddenly appeared in the Spirit Plant Garden.
He wanted to escape, but it was too late.
Several demons arrived in a flash, exuding powerful auras as they appeared in mid-air.
’Sure enough, if you want to break the rules and accumulate resources, you have to take some risks!’
’And now...
the risk has arrived!’
Xu Chang’an looked up and saw familiar faces.
A group of four, all of them Langlang Mountain Elders.
Three Sequence Elders and one regular Elder.
There was the Fourth Elder, in charge of Hundred Arts Peak; the Fifth Elder, head of the Mountain Patrol Hall; and the Seventh Elder, who managed the Law Enforcement Hall. Rounding out the group was the young miss, Jin Ling’Er, who had presided over his investiture ceremony.
Xu Chang’an felt a little strange.
Among the four demons, three had deep connections to him.
"How dare you invade our Langlang Mountain’s Spirit Plant Garden! Such audacity!"
The Fourth Elder bellowed, his presence overwhelming.
But in the next moment, he saw the Lion Spirit that Xu Chang’an had transformed into.
His expression changed!
The demon before him exuded the aura of the Qi Refining Seventh Layer.
But from his memory, this was not one of the well-known Elders from Black Crow Mountain.
’Could it be a newly promoted Elder from Black Crow Mountain!?’
They had dealt with Black Crow Mountain for years and knew every single Elder-level demon there.
"Fourth Elder, look!"
The Seventh Elder pointed at the deader-than-dead Black Crow Spirit and the other demons from Black Crow Mountain.
"It’s not a demon from Black Crow Mountain!?"
"What demon are you!? Why are you here!"
Jin Ling’Er activated her magical artifact, aiming it directly at Xu Chang’an.
The other Elders exchanged a glance, then spread out to block Xu Chang’an’s escape routes.
Xu Chang’an stared at the figures in mid-air, his mind racing.
’Three at the Qi Refining Eighth Layer, and one at the Qi Refining Seventh Layer!’
’The risk is manageable!’
’I’m afraid Langlang Mountain reinforcements will arrive. I can’t get tied down by them!’
Without answering Jin Ling’Er’s question, Xu Chang’an channeled his Demon Power, controlled the Yuanbao Seal, and rose into the air via Yukong. freewёbnoνel.com
He charged toward the weakest of the four demons, Jin Ling’Er, attempting to break through.
"You think you can break through? Stop right there!"
Jin Ling’Er activated her Middle-grade Attacking Magical Artifact, blasting it straight at Xu Chang’an.
At the same time, she slapped on a Middle-Grade Attack Demon Talisman.
WHOOSH~
The Demon Talisman shattered, transforming into an incomparably sharp golden arrow that shot forward.
The young miss of Langlang Mountain, who appeared so gentle and delicate, used such ferocious attack methods!
