Chapter 199: Demonic Musician and Fox Enchantress Part 2
Entranced by the fox song, the Blood Yang Gorilla hurled himself at the girl pair, wagging its large tongue like a crude abomination.
“On your knees.” A voice of lodious impudence echoed from behind the fox girl’s mystical shroud, and imdiately, the Blood Yang Gorilla dropped on its knees, standing still like a ta pet. Inside the Gorilla’s monster core, two forces clashed, both jousting for control over its existence. Its previous slave bond versus the fox girl’s bewitching song.
Her song won the fight, erasing the previous bond, and granting her absolute control over the Blood Yang Gorilla.
At that ti, building on the healing and montum she’d received from the pipa tune, Chun Xu drove the sword key across the hurricane’s sinuous pathways, at last finding the formation eye, and slamming the key right into it—the Sword Hurricane collapsed imdiately, and Chun Xu’s Sword Key flew into the tomb, fusing with a long blue sword that had stayed sealed in the ground for about 10,000 years.
“Go ahead. Do your thing.” The fox girl told her green-haired partner, whose veil fluttered in the air.
“You sure? I thought you didn’t like doing it on the Mysterious Beasts you subjugated.”
“Just the ones I find promising. I’m not a fan of subordinates that can’t take a hint. We have more than enough muscle as things stand. I don’t see the use of an overgrown creep that I’d still have to train into a worthy tool. It can die.”
“As you like, Daji. A rank-five Monster Core, and a Blood Yang one at that, is perfect for my breakthrough,” Xiao Hu said, lowered her pipa, and ambled at the Blood Yang Gorilla. Its eyes narrowed at her, looking past the veil, odd green hair, and incomprehensible scarlet eyes, to see through her identity.
“Beauty?” The Blood Yang Gorilla’s inquisitive gaze probed into Xiao Hu’s eyes, making her brows arch up.
“You know ? Mhm, I can sense a lingering connection to you. Was I your previous master? How unfortunate,” she said and placed one hand on the Blood Yang Gorilla’s chest. In her hand, Xiao Hu sensed the monster core and energies. But beyond, the pulse and the life inside the Gorilla connected to her—adding to her sorrow.
Pitch-black colors filled her sclera, and her scarlet pupils flashed with demonic energies. Confused, the Blood Yang Gorilla tilted its head left and right. Formless demonic energies sneaked into its monster core, making its heartbeat speed up, and its muscles spasm uncontrollably.
Interestingly, while Daji had it stay on its knees, her command didn’t force the Gorilla to beco Xiao Hu’s offering. It could have tried to struggle—in vain as it couldn’t do much at the mont—but at least scream, rage and resist sowhat.
It didn’t.
“What I want to be, who I want to be…relies on the sacrifices of the likes of you. Will you help find my…perfect self?” Xiao Hu asked the Blood Yang Gorilla, a murder ritual question she asked all her victims, without really expecting an answer.
But on this occasion, she got one.
The Blood Yang Gorilla’s lips curled up, and it nodded at Xiao Hu, staring at her demonic eyes with a gentle smile.
“Beaut—.” The Blood Yang Gorilla didn’t have the ti to finish its last word. Xiao Hu’s Swallowing Skill kicked into gear, ripping the Blood Yang Monster Core out of the Gorilla’s chest, and leaving a gaping hole behind. The monster core flew into Xiao Hu’s dantian, dark mist oozed out of her pores, and as she refined the Yang Core, the Gorilla’s body fell limp—collapsing on the ground.
Its blood dripped out, staining Xiao Hu’s sandals. With a casual step, she flew over the corpse, the victim already out of her mind.
Just like Zi Zuixian had observed, following her breakthrough into Foundation Building, Xiao Hu unlocked a Sword Sense that carried a dented and borderline demonic will. Zuixian feared that in ti, that dented will would drive Xiao Hu down the path of a demonic cultivator. But never could he expect that it’d happen so soon.
Worse, it had only been a month since Xiao Hu broke through to Foundation Building, and yet her cultivation had reached the late stage, already.
The gorilla’s monster core dissolved in her dantian, fed her Demon Heart, and made her cultivation base experience another leap. Instantly, she broke through to the peak of the Foundation Building Realm, with enough energy reserves to activate her ridians and attempt a breakthrough at Pulse Condensation.
Pleased by Xiao Hu’s progress, Daji clapped at the breakthrough—congratulating herself for the role she played in her sworn sister’s teoric rise. After joining Daji’s banner, Xiao Hu realized that the cultivation thod she practiced had beco useless. She didn’t rember how to progress with that thod and had no other quality tools to cultivate fast.
Both Xiao Hu’s Wailing Life Transformation and Green Immortal Sword Art operated on their own. But they first needed a catalyst. With the forr, it didn’t take long before Xiao Hu realized that her grief, pain and the extre dangers that she faced throughout her cultivation road, were the technique’s catalysts.
But with the Green Immortal Sword Art, she didn’t know what to do. Worse, the loss of her mories didn’t prevent her heart from filling her with a lingering and ever-increasing sense of rage and emptiness. Over ti, these sensations paired with her dented sword will to form a Heart Demon.
With no other choice, Daji led Xiao Hu to a past demonic patriarch’s inheritance ground, helping her find a cultivation thod that not only helped her beco the master of her Heart Demon, but also complete her Demonic Conversion, and unlock the Swallowing Skill. By relying on that cultivation thod—the Heart Demon Law—and her Swallowing Skill, Xiao Hu hunted down monster cores, using them to increase her cultivation base, and strengthen her Heart Demon bloodline.
Peacock and gals stood on their toes. Dong Ling’s eyes narrowed at Xiao Hu, and Chun Xu rose from the ground, spinning to face Xiao Hu. By the ti their eyes had locked on one another, the Naless Sword had flown out of the Sword Tomb, landing in Chun Xu’s hand—her montum skyrocketed.
