ng Zhang's talent was exceptional. Even for very difficult spells, he could learn them at a glance. The earthshaking technique was a spell that was relatively easy to learn but difficult to master. To unleash its full power, one needed to invest a considerable amount of effort in cultivation. However, when ng Zhang learned this spell, he quickly progressed from novice to mastery. Moreover, when he cast spells, they always displayed extraordinary power.
As soon as ng Zhang began casting the spell, his wind chasing horse, sensing that a battle was about to occur, quickly ran away from the scene. Wind chasing horses were intelligent beasts with significantly higher wisdom than other creatures of the sa rank. They also had keen intuition for danger and could detect threats through vibrations.
After ng Zhang cast the earthshaking technique, tremors spread towards the underground. The intense vibrations caused the ground around him to undulate like rolling waves.
Although the earthshaking technique might have limited lethality, it successfully angered the hidden enemies below the ground. Two enormous sandworms, each nearly ten zhang long and three chi wide, erged from the ground, leaving two deep craters in their wake.
Seeing the sandworms, ng Zhang felt relieved. Sandworms were only first-rank middle-grade beasts, more challenging than regular creatures of the sa rank but not beyond his capability to handle.
However, the earthshaking technique didn't inflict much substantial damage on the sandworms. These creatures relied primarily on their sense of hearing to detect vibrations and prey. The earthshaking technique created tremors, like a constant buzzing sound by their ears, which made them uncomfortable.
Provoked by the earthshaking technique, the sandworms erged from underground and rushed toward the source of the vibrations. ng Zhang swiftly released his flying sword, aiming at one of the sandworms and launching a rapid attack. In just a blink of an eye, the sandworm was struck dozens of tis.
This unique flying sword technique was a skill ng Zhang had honed for many years, although he had never used it against an enemy before. Unfortunately, to his disappointnt, the basic first-rank lower-grade flying sword didn't cause significant damage to the sandworms. The attacks only pierced their tough exteriors but failed to penetrate deep into their bodies.
The sandworms retaliated by spraying a torrent of corrosive acid toward ng Zhang. He quickly evaded, leaving the area pockmarked with smoking craters where the acid had struck.
ng Zhang decided not to waste ti with the flying sword and instead took out the Soul Calming Bell. This first-rank top-grade magic tool, acquired from Boss Zhang, was a perfect weapon for attacking souls. It proved to be quite effective against the sandworms, whose intelligence was not particularly high, and their souls were relatively weak.
As ng Zhang rang the bell, the sandworms beca sluggish and soon fell into a drowsy state, unable to move. He took the opportunity to unleash a scorching fla at one of the sandworms, roasting it thoroughly. The intense pain woke it up, but it was too late. The Lesser Yang True Qi that ng Zhang had cultivated over the years fueled the flas, and the fire's power was extraordinary. The sandworm struggled but was soon overwheld and lost its life.
Following the sa thod, the other sandworm t a similar fate and soon perished as well. The flesh of these sandworms was tough and emitted an extrely unpleasant odor, making them inedible for cultivators. However, ng Zhang needed the blood of demonic beasts to offer sacrifices to the Ghost Deity, which was essential for his recent experiences in the Trial Ground. The stock of demonic beast blood in Taiyi Sect was almost depleted, so he took this opportunity to collect so more.
While collecting the blood, ng Zhang noticed that the wind chasing horse, which had disappeared during the battle, had returned. Despite its distaste for the sandworm's flesh, it was now happily devouring the corpses, savoring the feast. For creatures like wind chasing horses, consuming the blood and flesh of other demonic beasts brought significant benefits to their own cultivation.
ng Zhang then focused on a pile of bright red ores that spilled from the sandworms' stomachs as he pulled back the wind chasing horse, which was engrossed in its al. The ores varied in size, with so as large as an adult's fist and others as small as peas.
Initially elated at the sight of the ores, ng Zhang suddenly turned serious, as if rembering sothing. He cautiously looked around, took out a ssaging talisman, and threw it into the air. The talisman flew in the direction of Taiyi Sect's headquarters, carrying an urgent ssage.
