The Sword of the Spirit Hunter
CHAPTER 73 | Devil Valley – Fishing opponents

Wuya shook his head answering Xiaozi's question,”Honey, there are no more gemstones like this”

Xiaozi then gave the stone to his friends, for them to be able to increase their cultivation by absorbing the spirit energy from the demon gemstone.

“Master, will we wait here or attack them?” asked Qiongqi who was impatient to make a move immediately.

“We wait for friends to have their cultivation go up one more level, then we attack” Xiaozi said.

He then sat cross-legged to meditate restoring his strength back, he took the tier 9 cultivation pill he bought from Chen Yan's medicinal shop then swallowed it.

Xiaozi then purified the cultivation pill within his body, he channeled the energy to fill the lack of energy as well as enlarge his spirit pulse to smooth the flow of energy within his body. Xiaozi's strength recovered within a few minutes.

In the morning, Xiaozi felt that his three friends had already increased their cultivation strength to the 2nd level of Gold. He felt it was time to avenge yesterday's incident to monster general Ermai.

“Qiongqi, Wuya. Investigate this Devil valley first.” Xiaozi's orders to them.

Qiongqi immediately set out to the depths of the valley to investigate the strength of General Ermai's monster army. Wuya also investigated separately.

After that, the two returned and reported to Xiaozi. From their reports, Xiaozi understood that within the Devil's valley there were some remote villages that were where the beast clans were working under General Ermai's orders to provide food for General Ermai's army.

“Alright, we will cut off their food supply. We attack some of those villages and burn their supplies” Xiaozi's plan.

They immediately went to some of the villages and seized their supplies that would be ready to be sent to the residence of the monster general Ermai. After that, General Ermai's troops in his residence became angry because the villagers had not deposited their food to General Ermai.

The dual private Yu and Shu go accompanied by the Copper Rhino investigating the villages.

The moment the two commanders arrived at one of the villages, Xiaozi along with Qiongqi and Wuya had been waiting for them. While Shan Mui, He Xian and Chen Yan had returned to the outpost house they had taken control of earlier carrying a sizable supply of food.

“Not only you can lure us, we can lure you to come deliver your lives” Xiaozi muttered in his heart to see the arrival of the two commanders of General Ermai's forces.

Xiaozi's face grinned at the two commanders, while Qiongqi and Wuya had surrounded them from different directions. The two commanders were surrounded by a team of monster hunters.

“Sial I did not expect those who lured us to come here” muttered Copper Rhino annoyed.

Seeing that they had been surrounded, there was no other way but to fight back. They immediately attacked Xiaozi, who was considered weaker than the others. Xiaozi remained calm in the face of the attack.

Qiongqi immediately pounced towards the Copper Rhino, while Wuya faced that Yu and Shu. Yu and Shu's attacks looked strange, they attacked alternately with hard and gentle energy. Wuya narrowed his eyes to study the strength of his opponent.

Unlike the Qiongqi who fought the Copper Rhino, their battle was fierce. The two sides looked balanced, yet Qiongqi had yet to exert his original strength.

Qiongqi then turned into its original form that was getting more and more ferocious and attacked towards the Copper Rhino, “Damn, this creature is powerful once” muttered the Copper Rhino as he felt overwhelmed to accept Qiongqi's attack.

“It is better that I attack the child, he looks weaker than this creature” thought as he directed his attack at Xiaozi

Seeing that Xiaozi sighed then received an attack from the Copper Rhino with his palm.

“Sial, this child is much stronger than I expected” muttered as he was shocked then spewed fresh blood from his mouth.

Xiaozi moved because he did not want the person to escape from him.

Just as the Copper Rhino was about to take a breath, Xiaozi was already in front of him and was preparing to attack him. The eyes of the Copper Rhino bulged and his body shivered in fear of the power emitted by Xiaozi.

“Sorry, I killed you” Xiaozi said softly with her reserved and cold face instantly gathering strength in her palm and smashing into the chest of the Copper Rhino.

BUMM! Explosions rang out again and the surrounding monster troops became shocked and ran to save themselves.

It looked as if the body of the Copper Rhino had been crushed by Xiaozi with the punch of his palm. Xiaozi really did not waste his time and energy to deal with the subordinates of monsters.

“The power of monster general Ermai is at the Diamond stage, I have to save energy against these crocoes

Meanwhile, Yu and Shu's fight against Wuya still looks fierce. Both sides are injured. Qiongqi who saw that wanted to help but Wuya blocked her,”No need. I can defeat him” Wuya said as he raised his hand to block Qiongqi

Yu and Shu who were taking a breath looked at the dead Copper Rhino's body horribly and made him shiver in fear.

“Just relax, you won't die that horribly” Wuya grinned at Yu and Shu who were starting to get scared.

Yu and Shu pulled out a hard and soft stance randomly as one of the individuals took control of her. So it looked like two people were fighting Wuya.

BUGH! BUGH! DESSH!

Wuya was hit by a blow when Shu gained control of the body but Wuya also briefly floated his claws about Yu when changing personalities. They were both injured by the opponent's blow.

“”Cih, strange moves” inner Wuya annoyed

Wuya changed his attack, he was now using his strongest form, becoming a shadowy crow that was like smoke at high speed. Yu and Shu grinned at the attack from Wuya. His body moved softly and lightly, but when Wuya was nearby, Yu again took over with his hard power.

BUGH!

This time it was Wuya who was bouncing, he was deeply wounded by Yu's violent attack. Wuya's eyes twitched and the corner of his lips let out a dawah.

“Wuya, rest. Let me continue” said Qiongqi staring at Yu and Shu

Qiongqi had already studied the movements of Yu and Shu using one body but their personals and attacks were different. Although Wuya still wanted to fight, yet he had to heal his wounds first and let Qiongqi continue the fight.

Seeing that Qiongqi who replaced Wuya, Yu and Shu were not acute, he was not an indiscriminate person who could become the commander of the army of the monster general Ermai.

Qiongqi wasted no time, she also used her true form of the winged tiger Qiongqi with her fiercer face preparing to attack Yu and Shu.
