Demon Cultivator: Heaven and earth are the cauldron, and all living beings are the medicine
#23 - Chapter 23: Blood enters the body, and the sword cuts the throat
The night was deep, already past midnight. Yet, within the silent and vast mountain forest, the sounds of intense fighting echoed, lingering for a long time.
Inside a mountain cave, a faint fire illuminated the surroundings. Ning Lu was focused and solemn, intently confronting Sun Hao, the situation increasingly dire.
Sun Hao's five flying swords flashed and maneuvered in the air, each carrying immense power, smashing the boulders controlled by Ning Lu into pieces.
Seeing this, the young man immediately increased his efforts, commanding over a dozen massive boulders, coated with varying amounts of dirt and sand, to rise from the ground and heavily crash towards the five flying swords darting through the air.
However, these seemingly enormous and heavy rocks shattered upon encountering the five flying swords, like eggs hitting a stone, crumbling into small pebbles in just a few breaths.
"Hmph! You can manipulate boulders with a mere thought. It seems you've mastered the Art of Gravity, but so what? Trash techniques are still trash, not worthy of the stage!"
Sun Hao wore a playful expression, continuously waving his hands to control the five flying swords, a sneer on his face.
"Is that so?" The young man's retorted voice was not loud, but it was firm and resonant, echoing throughout the empty cave, striking directly at the heart.
In the next moment, the young man's dark eyes suddenly emitted a faint blue light. The movements of everything around seemed to be affected by an invisible force, becoming extremely slow.
The speed of the five flying swords attacking the young man also drastically decreased, and even the power attached to the swords was reduced to less than ten percent.
"How can this be?" The young man exclaimed in disbelief at the scene before him, desperately waving his hands, but the speed of the five flying swords remained abnormally slow, as if the connection between them had been severed.
"Now, I will show you the true power of the Art of Gravity!"
The young man roared, his pupils and palms erupting with dazzling blue light, even brighter than the burning flames nearby.
The next moment, an unbelievable scene unfolded!
The five flying swords seemed to have turned traitor, reversing the direction of their tips, all pointing towards the weasel-faced young man.
"How is this possible? I am the master of these five swords!" Sun Hao was furious, veins popping on his forehead, still waving his hands in disbelief, but the five flying swords still did not heed his commands.
"Die!" Ning Lu hissed in a low voice, slamming his right hand down. The five flying swords shot towards the young man like arrows released from a bowstring.
Sun Hao's eyes were bloodshot as he glared furiously at the young man before him and the five flying swords flying towards him. He seemed to have no more tricks up his sleeve.
In the next moment, the young man sneered, taking out a bean-sized pill from his waist and swallowing it directly.
Instantly, the young man's aura surged. The multicolored light in his palms became dazzling again, and the five flying swords stopped abruptly in the air, returning to the young man's control.
At this moment, a figure watched the battle between the two from a distance. The initially disappointed expression gradually turned excited, and he thought to himself.
"Oh? This kid actually hid a Bloodthirsty Pill? Raising his cultivation to the late stage of Qi Refining in a short time, he should be able to force Ning Lu's magical treasure out!"
This figure was none other than the two's master, Hu Danian.
Inside the cave, Ning Lu felt the young man's powerful aura and immediately frowned, fully utilizing the Art of Gravity while also employing the Five Elements Sword Technique he had recently learned. Five flying swords emerged from the young man's sleeves.
"I didn't expect you to improve so quickly! However, for the sake of the magical treasure on your body, I must kill you today!"
The young man roared, his figure rising from the ground, manipulating five flashing and maneuvering flying swords, rushing towards the young man.
"Boom, boom, boom."
Ning Lu used all his means, throwing all the boulders he could control forward, while also mobilizing five flying swords to resist the young man's fierce offensive.
But even so, it was still to no avail.
Wherever the five flying swords manipulated by the young man went, nothing survived. Whether it was a huge boulder or the five flying swords controlled by the young man, they were all shattered by Sun Hao's sword!
At this moment, there was nothing left in front of the young man, only the hideous young man and the five flying swords that were rapidly attacking him.
Ning Lu closed his eyes and sighed deeply, "Is there no way?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man took out a scarlet ancient cauldron from his sleeve. The ancient cauldron suddenly burst out with an incredibly dazzling blood-colored light, accompanied by bursts of pressure, blasting the young man and the five flying swords away.
At the same time, an extremely rich blood energy flew out from the ancient cauldron, directly pouring into the young man's body.
Instantly, the young man's aura soared, mid-stage Qi Refining, late-stage Qi Refining, peak Qi Refining!
What drove the young man's cultivation to soar to this level in a short period of time was the soul of Zhong Gui, which was being refined in the Ancient Honghuang Cauldron.
Originally, refining the complete soul of Zhong Gui, with the cultivation of this demonic cultivator's Nascent Soul, it probably wouldn't be a problem to help the young man break through to the Foundation Establishment stage in one fell swoop.
However, now that the young man had no more backup plans, he had to complete the refinement of the soul in advance, condensing it into a rich blood energy, while the rest of the massive cultivation in the soul was lost in the world, no longer available for the young man to use.
In the space of the Ancient Honghuang Cauldron, a wisp of soul emerged from the furnace, its aura extremely powerful, but without any consciousness, just aimlessly flying towards the sky. In an instant, the sky in the furnace became even more blood-colored!
Even Zhong Gui, who was as strong as a Nascent Soul realm, was completely obliterated after being burned and refined by the Ancient Honghuang Cauldron, completely annihilated from this world!
"Finally willing to take it out? Sure enough, the quality is extremely good, it's not in vain that I've put in so much effort!"
Sun Hao's eyes were fixed on the scarlet Honghuang Ancient Cauldron, his eyes filled with joy, his face extremely gloomy.
"I'm afraid you haven't figured out your situation yet!" Ning Lu's tone was icy, his eyes fixed on the weasel-faced young man.
Before he finished speaking, the young man's figure disappeared from the spot, instantly arriving in front of the young man, transforming a flying sword from his sleeve, the sword containing a strong earth attribute, slashing through the young man's throat.
Suddenly, blood soared into the sky, and blood gushed out from the young man's neck like a tide, splashing on the surrounding stone walls and on the young man's delicate face.
The young man's eyes widened in anger, his hands tightly covering his neck, trying to speak, but unable to make a sound, his eyes filled with extreme unwillingness, and finally his body fell heavily to the ground.
He didn't even have time to react to what was happening before he was killed in one breath!
At this moment, the old man watching from a distance had a complex expression, his eyes filled with shock and satisfaction.
This shock was given to the power displayed by the Honghuang Ancient Cauldron. It was hard to imagine that a mere Qi Refining realm kid could possess a magic weapon that even a Nascent Soul Great Cultivator would not dare to dream of.
And this satisfaction was for his newly deceased personal disciple. The old man had completely squeezed out Sun Hao's value, successfully using Sun Hao's hand to force out the Honghuang Ancient Cauldron in Ning Lu's hand. In this way, the old man determined what the magic weapon in the young man's hand was.
Hu Danian looked at Sun Hao, who had fallen to the ground and died with his eyes open, without any pity in his eyes, completely indifferent and cold.
In fact, Sun Hao's death was destined. Hu Danian had regarded Sun Hao as a pawn from the beginning when he laid out the game!
Perhaps from the moment Sun Hao told Hu Danian about the Honghuang Ancient Cauldron, the old man had already developed a killing intent.
The old man had been watching this battle from the sidelines. If Sun Hao had won against Ning Lu in the end, then Hu Danian would have also taken action to kill Sun Hao.
The reason is very simple. Hu Danian was not sure whether the Honghuang Ancient Cauldron had established a connection with Ning Lu. If Sun Hao killed the young man, then the Honghuang Ancient Cauldron might also be damaged. Hu Danian would never allow any mistakes to occur in his plan!
So Sun Hao was bound to die in this game!
This is the sinister nature of the human heart, the darkness of capital!
Even though Hu Danian was one of the representatives of the righteous path, under the drive of huge profits, he could still unhesitatingly murder his personal disciple who had been with him for many years!
