"Although my injuries have recovered, I wasted another day. Now that I think about it, there are only ten days left until the start of the Family Competition. I have to hurry up and cultivate." Ling Yunfan, who had brought a hundred years of blood ginseng and many other demon beast materials with him, had just recovered from his injuries, and was mumbling to himself with a helpless expression.

Currently, Lingyun Fan was carrying a sack full of materials like demon beast claws, so it was not easy to move him. Hence, he could only find a place to hide. And right now, there was a large bush where he could hide.

Afterwards, he took the 10,000 Year Blood Ginseng and ran several miles away before stopping and preparing to consume it and cultivate.

"..."

After preparing for a while, Ling Yunfan sat cross-legged on the ground, circulating the power of his Fiendgod bloodline along with the Demon God's Annihilation Technique. Then, he directly swallowed the hundred-year old Blood Ginseng in his hand.

Suddenly, the Spirit Medicine entered his stomach, and the strong and vigorous Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth directly entered every part of his body, and the strong power within it was constantly destroying Ling Yun Fan's internal organs. But before that, with the help of the Fiendgod bloodline and the Demon God's Annihilation Technique, the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth that should have been ruining his body was instantly absorbed by a special power that suddenly appeared in Ling Yun Fan's Dantian.

The spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth, which should have been filled with hostility, seemed to have been reclaimed. Before he could even resist, it was absorbed.

With this, time passed. Lingyun's completely red skin started to recover its original appearance at a speed visible to the naked eye. At the same time, the flow of energy in his dantian increased. It seemed like it was about to form a cyclone.

"Drink."

Not long after, Ling Yun Fan, who was meditating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and let out a loud shout. The surrounding air currents that were gathered together instantly scattered, and the aura on his body also went from body refining seventh level all the way to body refining ninth level, breaking through two small realms in a row.

After reaching the 9th Body Refinement Layer, the wounds that had been left on his body disappeared with the breakthrough. Not only that, Lingyun's strength had also increased to 5000 jin.

"Alright, let's call it a day from now on. The rest of my time is to properly hunt and earn some money, just in case I don't have any more silver for later on." Ling Yunfan, who had slightly moved his body, excitedly made plans for the next step.

Soon after, although Lingyun, who had decided to hunt, did not know about the demon beasts over there, he also found a random direction.

"..."

"Captain, that group of animals' lair is up ahead. The demonic energy inside is very serious. There might be a peak rank 1 or a rank 2 beast inside."

"If there is a Rank 2 Demonic Beast inside, then we will all die here."

"Captain, please give the order."

At this moment, in front of a cave, there were several dozen people standing outside. Among them, the three middle-aged men who stood at the very front and were at the seventh level of the Body Refinement Realm were frowning as they asked the man with the mask in the middle.

After hearing the three of them, the black masked man wearing tiger skin who emitted the aura of a 9th layer Body Refinement Cultivator replied with an incomparably cold voice: "Regardless of whether there is a peak rank 1 Demonic Beast or a rank 2 Demonic Beast, we all need to go in and find out what is going on. Everyone is lacking in silver coins, now that the opportunity is right here, if we don't cherish it, we will not have the opportunity next time around."

As it was currently still night, and only the moonlight shone onto the land, it was extremely dim. It was precisely because of this that the surrounding environment was not very visible, and if there were Demonic Beasts lying in ambush, it would definitely be a dangerous matter, which was why they had to be cautious.

This was because a Refinement Realm martial artist was unable to conceal the relationship between their own aura and it was very easy for them to be discovered by sensitive demon beasts in the dark of the night.

Aoao … Aoao …

Indeed, just as the group of people neared it, several loud and clear cries rang out from within the cave.

"Prepare to fight!"

At this moment, the masked man already knew what was going to happen next, so he immediately called out to the people behind him.

After hearing the masked man's words, everyone quickly gripped their weapons tightly and prepared to attack at any moment.

The sounds grew louder and louder as two giant, brown-haired bears with a pair of dark blue eyes and a pair of sharp green claws ran out of the cave.

"Peak Rank 1 Demonic Beast, Azure Explosion Bear!"

"Heavens, this is an existence on par with a body refining ninth level martial artist!"

"This is going to be troublesome."

When they saw the appearance of the two Azure Blast Essence Bears, other than the three people beside the masked man, everyone else cried out in shock.

Actually, not only were they panicking, even some cold sweat couldn't help but appear on the masked man's forehead. Clearly, he felt that the two Monstrous Beasts in front of him made things difficult for him.

Puchi … Puchi …

"Wuuwaa …" "Ahh …"

Just as they were hesitating, the two Blue Blast Origin Bears seized the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, quickly tearing apart several Sixth Layer Body Refinement Cultivators.

"How dare you, receive my Whirlwind Slash!" Seeing that several of his own team members had died, the masked man was enraged. He immediately brandished an intermediate level battle weapon, a longsword, and gathered all the energy he could muster to merge it with his other team members.

Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.

As the masked man slashed out four sword Qis that were filled with a sharp wind energy, he cut off one of the two bears' arms. Fresh blood immediately flew into the air, but the two bears didn't let out any wails and instead continued to attack the surrounding people.

On the other side, the masked man was actually gasping for breath. His breathing seemed weak.

"Damn it, I never thought that these two bastards would actually dodge my attack. Right now, I can only use the Whirlwind Slash once. If I can't kill them in one hit, then I'm done for." The masked man muttered unwillingly as he looked at the two Blue Blast Origin Bears in front of him who were still launching their attacks.

While he was still hesitating, the three people by his side, who had a cultivation level of body refining eighth level, were unable to block the Cyan Blast Yuan Bear.

"Do you need help, brother?" Just when everyone died one by one, Lingyun sat on a tree, and spoke while looking down at the masked man.

"Brother, I am the captain of the Heavenly Wolf Mercenaries, Zhuo Ruili. I hope that you can help me. After everything is settled, I will give you a satisfactory reward." After hearing Ling Yunfan's words, the masked man first examined his opponent's cultivation and discovered that he was at the 9th Body Refinement Layer. He immediately cupped his hands together and pleaded.

Hearing this, Lingyun smiled and jumped down from the tree, his feet landing on the head of a Blue Blast Origin Bear.

Aooo … "Aooo …

Lingyun Fan's provocative action was quite humiliating to the demon beasts, so the Azure Blast Essence Bear was full of anger, and it waved its claws, hoping to take care of the human warrior that was stepping on its head.

Bang!

However, just as it attacked, Ling Yunfan was nowhere to be seen. Immediately after, a fist filled with fire landed on its stomach. The powerful force immediately shattered all of its internal organs.

Splash.

In an instant, before anyone could react, the Azure Blast Essence Bear died.

"Hiss … What a terrifying strike!" Seeing the scene in front of him, the masked man's eyes were filled with shock, and he was extremely shocked in his heart.

Splash.

Immediately afterwards, the other Azure Blast Essence Bear also died the same way, its large eyes filled with shock as it fell to the ground.
