Wu Shattered Star River

Reaching the foot of the mountain where the Demon Sound Beast was located, Jiang Han moved even more slowly and completely concealed his aura.

He quietly crept upwards, also releasing his Spirit Seeking Art to sense the situation above.

The Spirit Seeking Art could detect any living creature, and Jiang Han easily sensed the two demon beasts fighting above.

Above, one demon beast was a leopard-headed scorpion with over a dozen legs, making it extremely fast. Its main attack method was its two scythe-like forearms.

The other demon beast was indeed the Demon Sound Beast, identical to the one on the Heavenly Beast Cauldron. This Demon Sound Beast had a small body but a large head.

Its main attack method was its roar. Every time the leopard-headed scorpion approached, it would let out a strange cry, causing the demon beast to tremble and retreat.

Even from that distance, despite the thick ground, Jiang Han's heart would clench every time he heard the Demon Sound Beast's strange cry. He felt extremely uncomfortable, and his eardrums even experienced some stinging pain.

"This Demon Sound is so powerful!"

Jiang Han secretly felt a headache. If he got close to the Demon Sound Beast and it roared, wouldn't his eardrums be shattered? If he couldn't get close, how could he kill it?

The leopard-headed scorpion beast was extremely uncomfortable from the Demon Sound, becoming restless, but it did not retreat.

It constantly roamed, quickly approaching, and occasionally attacking the Demon Sound Beast from behind.

The Demon Sound Beast already had two wounds on its body, and green blood slowly oozed out.

Jiang Han waited patiently. The Demon Sound Beast was bleeding and would soon become weak. That would be the time for him to strike.

The demon beasts continued to fight. The leopard-headed scorpion beast roamed quickly, occasionally launching sneak attacks on the Demon Sound Beast from behind.

The Demon Sound Beast's wounds became more and more numerous, and its roar gradually weakened, making Jiang Han less uncomfortable.

After another incense stick's worth of time, the Demon Sound Beast had its hind leg shattered by the demon beast, letting out a series of continuous roars.

After this series of roars, the Demon Sound Beast's voice quickly became weak, indicating it wouldn't last much longer.

"Almost time!"

Jiang Han told Jiang Lang about the situation. Jiang Lang said, "You go kill the leopard-headed demon beast, and I'll handle the Demon Sound Beast. Don't get too close; its death roar is terrifying."

"Okay!"

Jiang Han charged out of the ground with Jiang Lang. Jiang Han, wielding his blade, charged towards the leopard-headed demon beast, while Jiang Lang launched divine runes from afar.

Jiang Lang didn't use divine runes that were too offensively strong, but instead launched several Xuan-grade divine runes to restrain the Demon Sound Beast.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Jiang Han and the leopard-headed demon beast fought together. He continuously used Shadow Shift to strike the leopard-headed demon beast, leaving several wounds on its body, while also drawing the leopard-headed demon beast away a distance.

Once Jiang Han was a dozen zhang away, Jiang Lang began to use Earth-grade divine runes, launching a Meteorite Rune that nearly killed the Demon Sound Beast.

Just as Jiang Lang was about to use another divine rune, Jiang Han shouted, "Don't kill it! I have to deliver the final blow."

"Okay!"

Jiang Lang didn't ask any further questions. Jiang Han struck out several more times, killing the leopard-headed demon beast, and then flew over.

He used Shadow Shift to appear behind the Demon Sound Beast, bringing his blade down on the Demon Sound Beast's head.

"Awoo ~"

Perhaps knowing it was about to die, the Demon Sound Beast let out a final, massive roar.

This roar nearly caused Jiang Han's soul to collapse. His eardrums instantly ruptured, and blood poured from his eyes, nose, and mouth.

"Boom!"

Although Jiang Han suffered a great blow, the blade in his hand did not stop, and he stabbed the Demon Sound Beast to death.

His body rolled down, writhing in pain. Jiang Lang quickly took out a pill and gave it to Jiang Han. He picked up Jiang Han and said, "Let's get out of here. I'm afraid other demon beasts will be attracted."

"Demon… Core!"

Jiang Han said with difficulty, "Dig out the demon core for me."

"How much is a demon core worth?"

Jiang Lang curled his lip, but still quickly dug out the demon core, then took Jiang Han and burrowed into the ground.

He blasted the tunnel behind them, so even if any demon beasts tracked them, they wouldn't be able to catch up.

After resting in the tunnel for two incense sticks' worth of time, Jiang Han finally recovered. He wiped the blood from his body, his eyes filled with excitement.

The stronger this Demon Sound Beast is, the more abnormal his awakened divine ability will be.

The two returned to the previous cave, rested for a night, and continued searching the next day.

They were lucky this time. After running around all morning, they found another Demon Sound Beast.

Jiang Lang slowly attacked from a distance with divine runes. Jiang Han tried to sneak attack several times, but he was injured by the Demon Sound and couldn't get close.

Fortunately, he had brought Jiang Lang with him this time. Jiang Lang's soul was very strong, and his divine runes could attack from a distance. Otherwise, if Jiang Han encountered a Demon Sound Beast, he would have to risk his life to fight it, or it would be very difficult to kill it.

After several rounds of divine runes from Jiang Lang, the Demon Sound Beast was severely injured. Finally, Jiang Han made his move, risking injury to kill the Demon Sound Beast.

The two rested for half an hour, and Jiang Han wanted to continue searching.

"We've already killed two. Are you going to kill more?" Jiang Lang was a little puzzled and couldn't help but ask.

"Yes!"

Jiang Han pursed his lips, not explaining the reason, only saying, "I need ten Demon Sound Beast demon cores."

"You want demon cores?" Jiang Lang rolled his eyes speechlessly and said, "Wouldn't it be easier to buy them in Dark City?"

Jiang Han sighed and said, "I have to kill them myself. I can't explain some of the reasons…"

"I understand!"

Jiang Lang didn't ask further. Everyone has their own secrets, and any rising powerhouse has their own opportunities and secrets.

Jiang Han was able to possess so many divine abilities, so he must be hiding a big secret. Jiang Lang knew this clearly.

The two continued searching, and in the afternoon, they encountered two more Demon Sound Beasts, as well as dozens of other demon beasts.

They would kill the weaker demon beasts, but they would escape underground from the ones that were difficult to kill.

The next day, the two killed two more Demon Sound Beasts, bringing the total to six.

When night fell, Jiang Han decided to return the next day. If he had the chance next time, it would be enough to hunt four more Demon Sound Beasts.

On the way back the next day, the two were lucky enough to hunt down another Demon Sound Beast, leaving only three Demon Sound Beasts left to find.

"What would happen if we didn't go back?"

Having already killed seven, Jiang Han was a little tempted to kill ten Demon Sound Beasts in one go, so he could awaken a divine ability.

Jiang Lang thought for a moment and said, "It's not a big deal. I can use divine runes to send a message to Zuo Yiyi. However, if we don't return to Dragonfall City, news of us being in the wild will leak out. There must be Skywolf Hall spies in Dragonfall City. I'm afraid that Skywolf Hall experts will intercept and kill us."

"Then let's go back!"

Jiang Han didn't mind risking his own life, but if Jiang Lang was implicated and killed, he would regret it for the rest of his life.

The two headed back towards the Thirty-Three Peaks. After traveling for a short distance, Jiang Han and Jiang Lang suddenly felt that something was wrong. They felt like someone or some demon beasts were following them from behind.

But when the two returned to investigate, they found nothing. After traveling a few more miles, the two felt like they were being followed again.

"Go underground!"

Jiang Han's expression darkened, and he quickly dug a hole in the ground and took Jiang Lang inside.

If they felt that someone was following them twice, then they definitely weren't mistaken. The person following behind must be an expert, or someone with a powerful divine ability to track or conceal their presence.

If it was a Skywolf Hall spy, and their whereabouts were exposed, and a Sea-Mountain Realm expert from Skywolf Hall made a move, the two would definitely die!
