Chapter 76: Chapter 76: Furious Demon Lion

“Swoosh, swoosh!”

The moment Su Han’s words fell, Lian Yuze and the others couldn’t wait to rush into the Demon Beast Mountain Range.

Before encountering a demon beast, they would not cast magic.

Just like battles on the Dragon Martial Continent, which required Dragon Qi, when casting magic skills, the magic elements in their bodies would also be rapidly depleted, and it wasn’t possible to maintain the casting of magic skills continuously.

Su Han was different, though. In his previous life, his magic rank might not have reached the level of a Seventh-Order Magic God, but he had still become a Third-Order Magic God. His control over and absorption of magic elements were countless times stronger than Lian Yuze and the others.

The amount of magic elements inside him was at least at the level of an Archmage.

If it were the meager amount of magic elements like Lian Yuze and others had, just maintaining this Earth Guardian would probably exhaust Su Han’s magic elements.

“Roar ~ ”

“Woo!”

As everyone delved deeper into the Demon Beast Mountain Range, the roars of demon beasts continued to sound.

“Swoosh!”

At a certain moment, a black shadow suddenly fell from a tree and charged straight at Lian Yuze.

“Black Wing Snake?”

Lian Yuze scoffed with disdain, “It’s just a lowly First Order little snake, not even worth casting magic.”

As he spoke, he directly unsheathed the longsword at his waist and slashed down at the Black Wing Snake.

“Whoosh!”

As the sword came down, a silver-white light flickered on it, a luster clearly belonging to a silver-level weapon.

Before setting out, Su Han had equipped each of them with a Mid-Grade Silver Level weapon, not too high and not too low, just right for Lian Yuze and the others to use.

If the level were too high, they wouldn’t be able to exert that much power from it.

As for Su Yunming and Pang Qing, Su Han had given them a High-Grade Silver Level weapon. Su Yunming was at the Dragon Pill Realm, so he could already use a Gold Rank weapon, but unfortunately, Su Han didn’t have the materials to refine one.

As for Pang Qing, he had already broken through to the Dragon Spirit Realm Early Stage, so using this High-Grade Silver Level weapon was just right.

“Tshhh!”

Blood sprayed, and the Black Wing Snake was directly split in half by Lian Yuze’s sword.

“So sharp!”

Lian Yuze’s eyes glinted with excitement. He could clearly feel that it was not his own strength that was too strong, but that the silver-level weapon was supremely sharp.

If he had used an ordinary weapon, Lian Yuze would probably have to unleash his full Early Stage Dragon Blood Realm strength to kill the Black Wing Snake directly.

After all, the Black Wing Snake was famous for its exceptionally high defense. Its outer layer of skin could withstand an attack from someone at the Early Stage Dragon Blood Realm without getting injured.

“Your one sword strike has split the Black Wing Snake’s crystal core into two; that demon crystal counts against you,” said Su Han.

“I didn’t do it on purpose,” Lian Yuze chuckled. His look towards Su Han no longer contained the previous resentment, only excitement and gratitude.

If not for Su Han, he would not have been able to master magic or be equipped with silver-level weapons.

Even a Mid-Grade Silver Level weapon had a value of around two million gold coins.

…

As everyone penetrated deeper, they encountered more and more demon beasts.

However, this was just the periphery of the Demon Beast Mountain Range; most of the demon beasts that appeared were only First Order.

“Die!”

At a certain moment, a junior member of the Xiao Family shouted fiercely, his sword flashing; he directly shattered a land turtle’s shell.

“Another one.”

This junior member of the Xiao Family picked up the Demon Crystal from the land turtle, his face flushed with a hint of red.

“With this one, that’s 53 First Order Demon Beast Crystals. Only 47 more to go to reach the Sect’s mission target of 100 crystals,” he said.

Lian Yuze laughed, “With Silver Level weapons, killing these First Order Demon Beasts is truly too easy. We don’t even need to use magic.”

“Hmm, even for the remaining 47, it won’t take more than half an hour,” another person chuckled.

During this time, Su Han and Hu Feng did not make a move at all; it was always Lian Yuze and those juniors from the Xiao Family who were killing these First Order Demon Beasts.

In their words, when facing these First Order Demon Beasts, there was nothing a single sword stroke couldn’t solve. If there was, then two strokes would do the job.

“The Sect mission requires 100 crystals, but since we’re here, we might as well collect as many as we can. After all, you’ll need them for your cultivation in the future,” Su Han said.

“We’ve already begun cultivating magic, what do we need these Demon Crystals for?” Lian Yuze couldn’t help but ask.

“You think that because you’ve cultivated magic, you won’t need Demon Crystals?”

Su Han smiled and shook his head, “Magic Elements might indeed conflict with nature’s spiritual energy, but the Dragon Vein you’ve developed can also store Magic Elements. This means, the higher your Cultivation Base, the more Magic Elements you can store.”

“I see,” Lian Yuze and the others nodded.

Martial Artists cultivate Dragon Qi, and their Dragon Vein is specifically meant to store Dragon Qi.

Similarly, Mages have their storage place for Magic Elements, which is the Magic Pill.

Of course, one must reach the rank of a Great Mage or higher to truly condense a Magic Pill; before that, it’s only an Illusion Magic Pill.

However, for people like Lian Yuze, besides the Illusion Magic Pill being able to store Magic Elements, their Dragon Vein can store Magic Elements too!

This is akin to having two places for storing Magic Elements. Compared to the Mages Su Han has seen on that High-Level Star, at the same level, Lian Yuze and the others would have a much stronger battle endurance.

This was another major advantage of Lian Yuze and his peers cultivating magic.

“Roar ~ ”

Just at that moment, a thunderous roar suddenly came from in front of them.

As the roar resounded, a huge figure, about three meters long, appeared within their sight.

“A Second Order Demon Beast, Furious Demon Lion!” Lian Yuze and the others’ gaze sharpened.

The Furious Demon Lion held a pinnacle position among Second Order Demon Beasts. A typical Martial Artist at the Dragon Blood Realm Early Stage would have no choice but to turn and flee upon encountering one.

Even in its normal state, the Furious Demon Lion is extremely powerful, much stronger than a Martial Artist of the same level, not to mention the Furious Demon Lion has a second state, which is the furious state.

That’s why it’s called the ‘Furious Demon Lion.’ When this creature gets injured, it becomes enraged and rapidly enters a furious state. A Furious Demon Lion in this state is a fearsome opponent; not just for those in the Dragon Blood Realm, but even for those in the Dragon Spirit Realm, who would have to seriously consider whether to engage it in combat.

“Hahaha, perfect, I can also test the power of my Rocky Giant!” Lian Yuze laughed heartily.

Expectation gleamed in the eyes of the others.

If it had been before they learned magic, they would have fled upon seeing a Furious Demon Lion, even Lian Yuze, who was in the Dragon Blood Realm Early Stage, would have only the option to escape.

But now, they were eager to rush up and have a grand battle with the Furious Demon Lion.

“Don’t use magic yet. I want to see the strength of your Dragon Blood Realm,” Su Han said with a smile.

“You got it!”

Lian Yuze responded with a hearty laugh and charged straight towards the Furious Demon Lion.
