The Huangquan trembles as the level increases!
Since Huang Quan Chanshu’s evolution requires a large number of monsters, and they must be at least close in level to Huang Quan Chanshu itself.
Lu Yu had always been unable to find a powerful monster to evolve Huangquan Tremble, and this was exactly the opportunity!
The number of Huangquan Blades has increased to fifty thousand!
During this period, not only Lu Yu and Wang Jilong, but also Zhang Qing and Lao Wu began to see their abilities improve shortly thereafter.
As the four individuals enhanced their abilities, they gradually gained control over the defensive circle, which had begun to shrink.
However, even now, out of millions of monsters, only about ten thousand have been eliminated!
However, Lu Yu’s greatest advantage is that his expanded darkening radius now includes Wang Jilong and others within its range.
The monsters killed by the four were all corroded by the waters of the Yellow Spring.
In other words, Huangquan was trembling as it devoured the monster’s flesh and evolved at four times the speed!
Such an opportunity——
For Lu Yu, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!
The impact of the monster was temporarily blocked.
However, the four of them could not expand their defensive circle.
The monstrous crowd looked exhausted but kept charging and attacking relentlessly!
Zhang Qing became increasingly excited and couldn’t help laughing loudly, “Yes, yes, that’s it—keep holding on! Getting through brings us one step closer!”
…
Time passed slowly.
The group had no time to calculate anything at all.
Survival is the only meaning here; time holds no significance at all.
Lu Yu and others didn’t know how many monsters they had killed.
With just the four of them holding back the onslaught of a million monsters, such news would be enough to send shockwaves throughout the entire city of Nanjing.
But now, besides Xiao Yu Lao, no one else could witness such a scene.
Lao Wu was the first to start gasping for breath, and his swinging fists began to slow down.
Originally, his fist shadows possessed an invincible power that seemed unbreakable, but now that strength had weakened.
The shadow of the fist failed to shatter the monster’s skull, allowing one of them to pass through the fist’s shadow, knock down Lao Wu, and send him crashing to the ground.
Lao Wu’s arm suddenly stretched and transformed into an ape-like limb, slamming the monster onto the ground. He then sprinted toward Xiao Yu, shouting loudly, “Hey, fellow clan member, put up the defense shield! I can’t fight it anymore!”
Lou Xiaoyu looked at Lu Yu.
She came because of Lu Yu, so she needed to know whether Lu Yu agreed.
Lu Yu nodded slightly, and only then did Lou Xiaoyu activate the defensive shield.
This silent exchange between them did not go unnoticed by the other three, who all instinctively tensed, their expressions hardening.
If the five of them formed an alliance, then Lu Yu had already formed a smaller alliance with Lou Xiaoyu.
With the hundred-meter-diameter defense shield activated, all the monsters that collided with it were repelled.
“Roar!”
The monster roared, its claws slamming against the protective barrier, only to have the force rebound and cause its own bones to crackle from the impact!
At this moment, Zhang Qing, Wang Jilong, and Lu Yu were all enveloped within the protective shield as well.
Wang Jilong was witnessing such a defensive capability for the first time, and couldn’t help but glance toward Lou Xiaoyu. His gaze turned somewhat strange, almost as if it could devour her.
However, all three instinctively took several large steps backward, stepping outside the range of the defensive barrier.
Just as Lu Yu mentioned first, this was an opportunity for them!
No one wanted to waste such an opportunity.
During the half-day break taken by Lao Wu, Lu Yu stepped out of the defensive barrier once again.
In just half a day, monsters of level four and five launched over one hundred thousand attacks against the defense shield, with the total damage reaching into the billions when combined.
This made Zhang Qing and others even more astonished than when Lou Xiaoyu withstood an attack from a thousand people.
After Lou Lao Wu left the protective shield, Lou Xiao Yu also deactivated it, appearing somewhat exhausted.
“Close your eyes and rest, eat something!” Lu Yu said seriously.
Zhang Qing, Lao Wu, and Wang Ji-long all instinctively tightened their formation, enclosing Lou Xiaoyu within their protective circle.
The three realized that whether they could withstand these monster groups did not depend on who had stronger attacks, but rather on how long Xiao Yu could hold out!
Only within the protective shield created by Lou Xiaoyu could they rest safely and recover their expended energy!
…
On the fifth day, Zhang Qing and Wang Jilong walked in together, leaving only Lu Yu still holding on outside the protective shield.
Lu Yu couldn’t remember exactly how many monsters had died by his hand.
He didn’t even bother to keep track anymore, since there were millions of them anyway, and in these five days, no more than a hundred thousand had died.
The seventh day…
The darkened area beneath Lu Yu’s feet expanded once again, increasing to five times its original size, reaching a radius of six thousand meters!
The number of blades from the Yellow Spring also increased. Twenty thousand of them filled the sky and earth, as dense as a heavy downpour.
Accompanied by flames and toxic gas, such power erupted among the monster crowd; the damage from the fire explosion and poison gas alone could instantly kill dozens of monsters in an instant.
“Did I summon a monster?” Zhang Qing couldn’t help but suck in a cold breath, showing obvious apprehension.
Wang Jilong narrowed his eyes and smiled, “If that’s the case, it seems we have a pretty good chance of getting past them.”
“That’s indeed true.” Lao Wu’s eyes couldn’t help but flicker with a sharp gleam, though it vanished in an instant!
…
On the eighth day, Lu Yu walked into the protective dome to rest, looking very exhausted.
…
On the sixteenth day, the impact of the strange crowd still showed no sign of stopping.
The group did a quick calculation and estimated that at most 200,000 monsters had died.
Since the monsters behind are more powerful, they are also harder to kill!
…
On the seventeenth day, the cyan sword shadow within Lu Yu’s body stirred once again.
The sword’s shadow split apart.
The number of Demon-Slaying Swords has already reached two million!
However, Lu Yu did not fully unleash the Demon-Slaying Sword.
He was still controlling two hundred thousand Soul Severing Swords and two hundred thousand Yellow Spring Blades.
These four hundred thousand sharp blades alone are sufficient to withstand the impact of the beast horde.
Demon Slayer—Stage Six!
Everyone’s strength has improved; it’s no longer just about surviving.
In the span of two months, everyone has improved. And the number of monsters that have died has exceeded five hundred thousand!
Zhang Qing couldn’t help but burst into laughter and said, “We’re halfway there, everyone! Keep pushing!”
Wang Jilong couldn’t help but laugh and said, “Damn it, I finally see a glimmer of hope.”
“This is going to wear an old man out.” Lao Wu kept gasping for breath, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead during the monster’s momentary pause.
…
Day 78 –
The Yellow Spring trembled once again, its quaking intensifying.
However, Lu Yu controlled it without allowing the Yellow Spring Realm to spread, nor did he release the power of the Yellow Spring Blade.
However, the data still made Lu Yu’s heart leap with joy!
The Yellow Spring trembled—Level Six.
Five times the Cursed Lands, a radius of thirty thousand meters! The quantity of the Hellblades—eight hundred thousand swords!
…
Day 134—
As the last monster let out a wailing cry and collapsed to the ground, Lu Yu and the others immediately plopped down onto the ground as well.
Including Lao Xiaoyu, everyone became extremely exhausted!
After more than one hundred days of battle, Wang Ji Long’s attack power has already reached the peak of a fifth-level star soul.
Lao Wu and Zhang Qing’s several attributes have also reached the peak of the fourth-level Star Soul; what they lack is the fourth-level Star Spirit Stone.
However, Lu Yu’s basic attributes remained unchanged.
Because attacking with skills does not contribute to the enhancement of his own strength.
However, having both major skills upgraded to level six is already a significant achievement.
Zhang Qing asked, “Lu Yu, you’re at least the controller of the mine—don’t you have any Grade 4 Star Spirit Stones?”
Lu Yu said helplessly, “I left long ago. At that time, they had only just begun to mine Grade Two Star Spirit Stones. How could I possibly have any?”
“What about you, Wang Jilong?” Zhang Qing asked, turning to look at Wang Jilong.
Wang Jilong said seriously, “I actually brought out three pieces, just in case someone among you has improved their cultivation. However, you should all understand the value of a Grade-4 Star Spirit Stone!”
“Damn it, the money will be paid.” Zhang Qing jumped up and ran in front of Wang Jilong, saying, “Give me the grade-four spirit stone first, then the rest will be easy.”
Wang Jilong said in a deep voice: “I don’t offer credit. What will you use for the transaction?”
“Of course, they’re top-notch items,” Zhang Qing said while taking out several Mutated Star Spirit Beads from his backpack. “Purchased through special channels, these are absolutely excellent.”
“Want to bet?”
Wang Jilong approached the bead and, after glancing at it, exclaimed in surprise: “A grade-six mutated Star Spirit Bead?”
“Correct!” Zhang Qing smiled and said, “I think you should understand the value of a level-six mutated Star Spirit Pearl during this period. This one alone is enough to exchange for one of your level-four Star Spirit Stones. You’ve already made a profit, haven’t you?”
Wang Jilong’s bloodshot eyes flickered as he grinned, “Three for one! The situation is special now; even if it’s a partnership, business is still business.”
Zhang Qing’s smile froze for a moment, then he sighed helplessly, “Alright, you win. Three for one then.”
Wang Jilong handed a Star Spirit Stone to Zhang Qing.
Lou Laowu took out several pearls, held them in his hand, and asked, “I happen to have a few grade-five mutated Star Spirit Pearls and also one grade-five Soldier Soul. Is this enough for the exchange?”
“Of course, that’s enough!” Wang Jilong said with a smile, took the item, completed the transaction, and then turned to look at Lou Xiaoyu, asking, “How about you, Miss Lou? Do you need one?”
Lou Xiaoyu smiled faintly and said, “Sorry, I don’t have anything to buy!”
Wang Jilong sighed and said, “That’s really a pity!”
Lu Yu looked at Wang Jilong and said, “How about one storage bead in exchange for a star spirit stone?”
Lu Yu smiled and took out another storage bead from his backpack!
“Lu Yu, don’t you think you’ve missed some?” Wang Jilong laughed, “At least ten of them!”
“So, you’re not planning to collect the Star Spirit Beads on the ground, right?” Lu Yu smiled, nodding his chin towards the ground around them.
Wang Jilong swept his gaze around, and his expression instantly changed!
“Just as you said, the situation is special now,” Lu Yu said with a chuckle, holding up a storage bead. “So, I’m worth a Grade-4 Star Spirit Stone!”
“You—” Wang Jilong didn’t expect Lu Yu to use this move. Clutching the Spirit Stone with a sense of reluctance, he kept hesitating.
For more than a hundred days, millions of monsters have died by their hands, dropping no fewer than a hundred thousand Star Spirit Pearls!
Colorful beads of various hues continuously sparkled on the ground, covering an area over ten kilometers long with a thick layer, exuding a strong allure.
If someone walked in and saw this, they’d probably think I’d gone mad.
These more than one hundred thousand Star Spirit Pearls are truly a treasure.
Moreover, all of these are level four and five.
It is used to exchange for common-grade Level 1 Star Spirit Beads, each of which can be exchanged for hundreds, even thousands, of them.
Therefore, the large number of Star Spirit Beads on the ground would also represent a considerable fortune for Wang Jilong.
If there’s nothing to put it in, you have no choice but to leave it behind. Such a fortune—how could anyone be willing to give it up!
It would take several large backpacks to carry ten thousand of them. If they were divided among five people, each person would get twenty or thirty thousand, which would be even more impossible to carry away.
Therefore, as Lu Yu said, it’s a time of extraordinary circumstances and extraordinary prices.
“Okay, you win!” Wang Jilong reluctantly handed the Spirit Star Stone to Lu Yu.
“Haha, then I’ll say thank you.” Lu Yu approached the Star Spirit Stone, took a glance at it, and then handed it over to Lou Xiaoyu.
In the Demon Hunting Plains, a grade-four Stellar Spirit Stone can be exchanged for thousands of storage pearls.
Here, one coin for one block, what a great deal!
