Shen Xuan wouldn't let go of the Bloodthirsty Mosquito King!

In the Cyan Spirit Secret Realm, water attribute demon beasts are already rare.

What's more, this Bloodthirsty Mosquito King, although its strength is relatively weak and its body small.

Its essence blood is not much.

Yet it is the descendant of the ancient fierce beast, the Blood-winged Black Mosquito.

Even though its fierce beast bloodline is so faint as to be almost negligible.

It remains an invaluable supplement in Shen Xuan's eyes.

The Bloodthirsty Mosquito King spread its blood wings, and instantly merged into another cloud of Bloodthirsty Mosquitoes.

Its demon body shrunk to the size of a regular Bloodthirsty Mosquito in the blink of an eye.

If it were any other cultivator, they would surely let it escape without catching it.

After all, among hundreds of thousands of Bloodthirsty Mosquitoes, trying to find a single Bloodthirsty Mosquito King is easier said than done!

Unfortunately for it, Shen Xuan had already locked onto the Bloodthirsty Mosquito King using the Insight Technique.

The Ice Soul Dao Body was fully activated.

His whole body exuding a biting cold intent.

Where his sight reached.

The mosquito swarm froze into snowflakes and fell down.

The only one left that could resist the icy cold was undoubtedly the Bloodthirsty Mosquito King.

Then, Shen Xuan employed the Divine Hidden Five-Thunder Escape Technique and pursued directly.

The Bloodthirsty Mosquito King, seeing it couldn't shake off Shen Xuan, made its elongated mouthpiece emit a thunderous sound.

Its demon body vibrated, instantly transforming into ten thousand Bloodthirsty Mosquito Kings, densely packed, stabbing towards Shen Xuan from all directions.

"Perfect timing!"

Shen Xuan's eyes brightened.

He was worried that this Bloodthirsty Mosquito King's bloodline would be too thin to plunder any good bloodline talent.

But now it seemed even the myriad illusions of the Blood-winged Black Mosquito were displayed quite vividly.

However, no matter how many illusions there are, they're of no use.

The Bloodthirsty Mosquito King itself has weak demon power and poor defense.

Especially weak resistance to cold ice Qi.

Shen Xuan summoned the Water Purification Bottle, spraying a water column over a yard in diameter, turning into mist, covering a hundred-yard vicinity.

Then, he pushed the Ice Soul Cold Water Technique to its limit.

"Water Mist Ice!"

Following Shen Xuan's shout.

The myriad illusions were all screaming, layer after layer covered by ice spiritual power, finally dispersing.

Only the true form of a single Bloodthirsty Mosquito King was madly escaping.

But, within Shen Xuan's Frozen Domain, where could it escape to!

Under Shen Xuan's divine thought, group after group of ice spiritual power coalesced into layers of cyan ice walls, trapping the Bloodthirsty Mosquito King within.

Then, the cyan ice walls surrounded it, the intense cold power condensed into an ice spirit shield, continuously infiltrating the Bloodthirsty Mosquito King's demon body.

No matter how it screamed, making thunderous shrieks, it merely delayed the ice spirit shield's compression.

Ultimately, the Bloodthirsty Mosquito King was frozen into an ice statue.

Shen Xuan, joyful, stored it in the beast bag.

At this moment, Scholar Qianzhu and Qi Wanqing arrived.

"Well done, Talisman Master Shen!"

Scholar Qianzhu remotely controlled four sword and shield puppets, vigilantly surveying the surroundings.

"Just lucky. The Bloodthirsty Mosquito King can't withstand cold." Shen Xuan said with a smile.

A single Bloodthirsty Mosquito King might not be enough.

Since it birthed a swarm of demon mosquitoes here, there must be more nearby.

Then, Shen Xuan summoned the Golden Claw Divine Eagle Corpse Beast, utilizing its eagle eye to survey the nearby area.

Sure enough, deep in the forest, there were massive clouds of red Bloodthirsty Mosquitoes.

"You guys wait here, I'll be back shortly."

With that, Shen Xuan transformed into a dazzling blue lightning, flying into the depths of the forest.

Scholar Qianzhu and Qi Wanqing exchanged a glance.

The two couldn't help but shake their heads slightly.

The strength Shen Xuan displayed over the past several days left them both in awe.

Though they were both at the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment.

Scholar Qianzhu even being a sect disciple.

If they faced Shen Xuan.

They wouldn't have even a fraction of the chance to win.

Actually, they underestimated Shen Xuan.

If they wanted to engage in magical combat, even if both of them joined forces, they wouldn't stand a chance.

This was why Shen Xuan dared to venture into the forest alone.

As long as there's no Core Formation True Master, no Tier Three Demon King.

Shen Xuan could roam freely.

He still had three Divine Thunder Treasure Talismans, that real trump card, untouched.

Though nurtured for only five years.

For Foundation Establishment cultivators, even at the Late Stage, whether demon cultivators or spirit cultivators.

If hit by a Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman, they would be severely wounded.

It is a deadly tool nurtured by Shen Xuan consuming five years of Dao Foundation Origin Spiritual Power.

...

Scholar Qianzhu and Qi Wanqing waited at the original spot for an hour.

Here, a large number of Bloodthirsty Mosquitoes fell.

Qi Wanqing straightforwardly began collecting these Bloodthirsty Mosquito carcasses.

Though just Tier One Lower Grade, not worth much.

But the quantity was vast.

Over a million.

Perhaps Fellow Daoist Shen could use them.

At this time, Qi Wanqing experienced a subtle change in her heart.

She began to have some unspoken expectations for Shen Xuan.

Two hours later.

A blue escape light rapidly approached.

It was Shen Xuan.

"Has Talisman Master Shen made any gains?" Scholar Qianzhu asked.

"Not too bad!"

Shen Xuan hinted at a smile.

He had captured two more Bloodthirsty Mosquito Kings.

Later, he encountered a swarm of Flying Ants.

These were gold attribute demon beasts.

Their shells hard, resistant to fire and ice.

Shen Xuan didn't want to entangle with them, using Thunder Escape Technique to return.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, here are the Bloodthirsty Mosquito carcasses." Qi Wanqing actively offered the beast bag.

"Hmm, thank you, Fellow Daoist Qi."

Shen Xuan accepted it.

Earlier, he left in a hurry and didn't get a chance to collect them.

It didn't mean he was willing to discard these Bloodthirsty Mosquito carcasses.

They numbered in the millions.

Freezing these Bloodthirsty Mosquitoes consumed a lot of spiritual power.

The spirit water from the Water Purification Bottle was mostly used up.

"No need to thank, it was nothing."

"Let's move! Soon, a large swarm of Flying Ants will be coming!"

"Alright!"

Scholar Qianzhu directed the sword and shield puppets to clear the way.

The three continued forward, breaking through the demon insect forest.

"Fellow Daoist Qianzhu, Fellow Daoist Qi, wait a moment."

Shen Xuan pondered and said, "I promised a fellow daoist to bury him at Moon Lake."

Actually, Shen Xuan has another purpose.

It is to replenish the spirit water in the Water Purification Bottle.

This is related to his battle ability, and it cannot be ignored.

"Moon Lake, huh? That's fine."

Scholar Qianzhu checked the Geography Jade Scroll, pondered slightly, and agreed.

As for Qi Wanqing.

She is a follower and naturally has no say.

However, Qi Wanqing expressed her welcome to go to Moon Lake.

"Going to Moon Lake is great! Sister Ruyi said there are many rare spirit herbs there."

The Cyan Spirit Secret Realm will be open for forty-nine days.

It is only the seventh day now.

There's enough time, no need to rush.

...

Several days later.

Shen Xuan and the others arrived at Moon Lake.

It was dusk.

The lake surface shimmered with silver waves, tranquil and deep.

A gentle breeze blew.

The towering ancient trees by the lake swayed slightly, and the clear green lake water rippled.

Shen Xuan lightly pinched a spell, summoned the Water Purification Bottle, and aimed its mouth at Moon Lake.

Like a Divine Dragon drinking water, the lake water surged into the Water Purification Bottle.

Soon, the hundred-square space within the Water Purification Bottle was filled.

Shen Xuan took out fragments of the corpse of the demon cultivator with the surname Li and scattered them into Moon Lake.

This attracted countless unknown fish and shrimp to devour the fragments of the demon cultivator's corpse.

Shen Xuan watched quietly.

At this moment, he felt little sorrow.

Instead, there was a sense of inexplicable emptiness.

It was quite a revelation, as if thinking, "Originally there was nothing, where can dust settle?"

A cultivator refuses to stagnate, competes with the heavens, and goes against the Heavenly Dao.

Ultimately, the vast majority end up like this demon cultivator with the surname Li, returning to dust.

Just as he was pondering.

The lake water suddenly began to ripple unusually.

"Talisman Master Shen, there's a big one!"

Scholar Qianzhu reminded.

Shen Xuan focused his gaze.

In the depths of the lake, a silhouette the size of a small mountain was slowly emerging.

"It's a Water Demon. Its rank is not low."

Shen Xuan signaled Scholar Qianzhu and Qi Wanqing to retreat.

He then summoned the Bishui Sword and held it before him.

Very quickly, the lake water surged into massive waves.

A huge suction force absorbed all the water near the fragments of the demon cultivator's corpse.

"Divine Dragon drinking water? Another Flood Dragon Snake?"

Seeing this familiar scene, Shen Xuan's mind immediately shook.

Then, a deep lowing sound of an old bull echoed.

This confirmed for Shen Xuan that a Flood Dragon Snake indeed resided deep in the lake.

However, he was unsure of its species.

"Yes, a mystical lake like this in the Cyan Spirit Secret Realm is suitable for Flood Dragon Snakes."

Shen Xuan thought to himself.

Flood Dragon Snakes like to hide in lakes, deep pools, or rivers. After cultivating successfully, they enter the sea along the rivers and transform into Divine Dragons.

The process of a Flood Dragon Snake transforming into a dragon causes floods, gales, and rainstorms, commonly known as "wandering floods" in folklore.

Shen Xuan had once hunted a Red Flame Flood Dragon.

Its power was slightly higher than a Tier Two Middle Grade.

But as long as it wasn't Tier Three, Shen Xuan was unafraid.

The Bishui Sword emitted a resonance of sword cries, eager to fight.

Suddenly, the voice of Nether Cultivator Li Ruyi came from behind.

"Fellow Daoist Shen, be careful. It's a Nine-headed Flood Dragon!"

Just as the words fell.

A surge of water shot into the sky.

In the center of Moon Lake, an enormous Flood Dragon Snake, over ten zhang long, stood upright.

Strangely, the Flood Dragon Snake had nine heads, all resembling those of the Human Race.

Shen Xuan sighed lightly.

This kind of Nine-headed Flood Dragon, with formidable bloodline, is likely a descendant of the Fierce Beast Jiu Ying.

However, the Nine-headed Flood Dragon before him had strong demon power, Tier Two Top Grade.

Given his current strength, it would be difficult to hunt this beast without getting hurt.

"You should retreat first!"

Scholar Qianzhu and Qi Wanqing had no hesitation and quickly retreated.

Shen Xuan raised his head, confronting the Nine-headed Flood Dragon, with the Bishui Sword guarding in front, slowly backing away.

There was no need to fight this Water Demon to the death.

The Nine-headed Flood Dragon curiously watched Shen Xuan.

Its deep Flood Dragon eyes revealed a peculiar smile.

It did not initiate an attack.

In an atmosphere of suffocating tension, Shen Xuan retreated a hundred zhang away from Moon Lake.

At this point, Scholar Qianzhu and Qi Wanqing were already a thousand zhang away.

Presumably out of the Nine-headed Flood Dragon's attack range.

Only then did Shen Xuan activate the Divine Hidden Five-Thunder Escape Technique.

Several arcs of lightning enveloped him.

After several Thunder Escapes, Shen Xuan returned to Scholar Qianzhu and Qi Wanqing's side.

"What a pity!"

Shen Xuan said with some regret: "If I break through to the Middle Stage of Foundation Establishment, I could have hunted this Nine-headed Flood Dragon!"

Finally encountering a Water Attribute demon beast of decent rank, yet unable to hunt due to insufficient strength.

This made Shen Xuan feel quite regretful.

Beside him, Qi Wanqing curiously asked: "I heard that the Nine-headed Flood Dragons are fierce, possess dual attributes of water and fire, and like to devour cultivators and mortals."

"Why didn't it attack just now?"

Scholar Qianzhu replied calmly: "It didn't dare to attack. Such demon beasts have considerable intelligence. Talisman Master Shen's strength is superior, the Nine-headed Flood Dragon had no chance to win."

"Talisman Master Shen, is what Qianzhu said correct?"

Shen Xuan smiled slightly.

Earlier, using the Bishui Sword, condensing Water Qi Sword Qi, emitting bursts of sword cries, he was warning the Nine-headed Flood Dragon.

It wasn't that he couldn't defeat it.

But it wasn't worth it.

With Shen Xuan's current strength, battling the Nine-headed Flood Dragon by the lake, there's at least a seventy percent chance of severely injuring the Flood Dragon.

If it submerged to the lakebed.

Shen Xuan and the Nine-headed Flood Dragon were evenly matched.

Using the Divine Thunder Treasure Talisman would add three percent to his odds.

Truly killing the Nine-headed Flood Dragon would be quite laborious.

If things turned out bad, Shen Xuan might get injured, damaging his Dao Foundation.

And the Nine-headed Flood Dragon could sense a threat to its life from Shen Xuan.

Such demon beasts, with fiercer beast bloodlines, have extremely keen intuition.

Without absolute certainty, it also dared not rashly attack.

After their standoff.

Shen Xuan exited the territory of Moon Lake.

The Nine-headed Flood Dragon then slowly submerged back into the lake water.

Demon beasts also bully the weak and fear the strong.

At this moment, Shen Xuan did not know that outside the Cyan Spirit Secret Realm, a great upheaval had already occurred!
