Taking on a New Underling
Watching with great interest the berserk Snow Demon Sky Ape, which exuded Aura comparable to Five Star Dou King, Xiao Ming said softly:
"It's alright. Although the Snow Demon Sky Ape's activation of its Berserk Bloodline greatly increases its strength, it also significantly reduces its intelligence. Combat requires strategy, and since it was already weaker than me, it won't pose much of a problem now."
"Roar!"
No sooner had Xiao Ming finished speaking than the Snow Demon Sky Ape, having lost its mind, thumped its chest and roared like a cannonball, shooting into the air with its target being Xiao Ming in mid-air.
"See? Dare to say its intelligence has declined, and it's charged at us," Xiao Ming said, shaking his head.
Keep in mind that he's currently in the air, and he can move freely in mid-air.
The Snow Demon Sky Ape can't fly, yet it shot into the air to attack someone who had forced it to unleash its ultimate attack with a single slap—wasn't that just suicide?
After its strength increased dramatically, the Snow Demon Sky Ape's speed also increased significantly. In the blink of an eye, it appeared before Xiao Ming, its sharp claws slashing down towards Xiao Ming's neck with a sharp Vigor Qi.
Given the size of the Snow Sky Demon Ape's claws, if an ordinary person were to be scratched by it, their entire upper body would disappear.
Seeing its claws slash across half of Xiao Ming's body, the Snow Demon Sky Ape, with its remaining consciousness, was overjoyed.
"You got it!"
But immediately, the Snow Demon Sky Ape sensed something was wrong: why wasn't the person in front of him bleeding?
While its body was still suspended in the air and had not yet descended, the Snow Demon Sky Ape slashed again, and this time the "Xiao Ming" in front of it slowly dissipated.
It was just an afterimage.
The Illusion Separation Five Elements is the best Movement Dou Technique Xiao Ming has acquired in the past six years.
Its description is: elusive and intangible, an illusion difficult to perceive.
When used, it is so fast that it can create afterimages. These afterimages are so unique that the enemy cannot distinguish between the real and the fake. When mastered, it can create multiple afterimages around the enemy. Within inches, the enemy can feel its presence everywhere and cannot defend against it.
It was obvious that the Snow Demon Sky Ape was attacking an afterimage created after Xiao Ming used the Illusion Separation Five Elements.
"Roar!"
Watching the slowly dissipating afterimage, the Snow Demon Sky Ape's already dwindling rationality was almost completely consumed by rage.
However, hovering in the air is not the same as flying; having remained suspended for quite some time, its body was plummeting at an extremely high speed.
Xiao Ming wasn't the type to hold a grudge if he got hit. After using his movement technique to instantly move to the Snow Demon Sky Ape and dodge its attack,
He then summoned a Red Flame imbued with a violent Aura from his palm.
It was the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame that Xiao Ming had obtained a few years ago.
"The Pill Fire Technique, Transform into Python!"
With a shout, the flames burning fiercely in Xiao Ming's palm suddenly swelled to four or five zhang (approximately 13-16 meters).
Soul Power surged forth from between his brows, altering the shape of the enormous flame. Under the influence of this Soul Power, the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame into a python-shaped fire behemoth.
Upon closer inspection, it can be discovered that this giant flaming python is somewhat similar to the Fallen Heart Flame Fire Spirit beneath the Heavenly Flame Refining Pagoda.
The Pill Fire Technique is an offensive technique used by Alchemist within the Alchemy Department of the Jia Nan Academy. Alchemist can use this method to condense flames into various animal figures for attack.
When Xiao Ming first saw the Fallen Heart Flame Fire Spirit, he wondered if transforming the Myriad Beast Spirit Flame into a similar Fire Python would increase its attack power compared to an ordinary Fire Python.
After research, Xiao Ming discovered that this Fire Spirit could not simply transform into any form; its shape could effectively contain the flames and increase their power.
How powerful is it?
Xiao Ming felt that a single strike would render the Snow Demon Sky Ape incapable of moving.
"Go!"
At Xiao Ming's command, the giant serpent coiled in the air raised its neck and chased after the Snow Sky Demon Ape that was falling to the ground.
Because it cannot fly, and there is nowhere to gain leverage in the air.
The Snow Demon Sky Ape could only pound its chest and roar, watching helplessly as the Fire Python caught up and coiled around it.
The moment the Fire Python coiled around it, the Snow Demon Sky Ape felt extreme heat, followed by terrifying binding force. Even though it desperately released its Ice Dou Qi and all its strength, it was to no avail.
"Boom!"
The python coiled around the Snow Demon Sky Ape and slammed heavily into the Sea of Forest below, knocking down countless trees. Some of the trees, having grazed the Fire Python, immediately burst into flames, sending plumes of black smoke billowing into the sky.
"Hehehe, Xiao Ming, you're really amazing."
Zi Yan, who had run to the side after the battle began, saw that the Snow Demon Sky Ape was powerless to resist, and immediately flew happily to Xiao Ming's side, hugging his arm and saying.
"It's just the power of Heavenly Flames."
Xiao Ming smiled and modestly offered his response.
Zi Yan didn't care whether Xiao Ming was being modest or not; her mind was now completely occupied with the Earth Core Body Tempering Milk protected by the Snow Demon Sky Ape.
She nodded her little head and said quickly, "Now that we've defeated the Snow Demon Sky Ape, let's hurry and collect that Earth Core Body Tempering Milk!"
"No rush, let's go down and take a look first."
"Um, why?"
A question mark appeared above Zi Yan's head.
Xiao Ming did not answer, but flew directly into the forest below.
Zi Yan had no choice but to reluctantly fly down behind him.
Below, in the forest, the fire was already raging, with the burning trees hissing and undulating.
The fire had little impact on Xiao Ming and Zi Yan, both of whom were at the Dou Wang level.
At the heart of the fire, the two stood directly in front of the Snow Demon Sky Ape.
At this moment, ice crystals kept appearing on the Snow Demon Sky Ape's body. Whenever these ice crystals appeared, the high temperature of the Fire Python wrapped around it would evaporate the ice crystals into water vapor, and the forest was suddenly shrouded in mist.
Xiao Ming beckoned to the Snow Demon Sky Ape, and the fiery red python coiled around it immediately flew towards him.
As it flew over, the Fire Python gradually shrank in size, eventually transforming into a fire snake about a foot long that coiled around Xiao Ming's right arm.
"Human, what do you want?"
At this moment, the Snow Demon Sky Ape's skin was completely unscathed, and all its snow-white fur was gone. It spoke weakly and feebly.
Clearly, he had suffered considerable losses in the battle with the Fire Python. If he hadn't retrieved the Fire Python in time, he would probably be close to death.
"Snow Demon Sky Ape, I want to take you as my subordinate. What do you say?"
"You tried to steal my things and now you want me to be your henchman? Let me tell you, dream on!"
The Snow Demon Sky Ape snorted coldly and proudly turned its head to the side.
"Hey, don't rush to refuse. If you agree, I'll heal your injuries. I know it's difficult for you Magical Beast to transform into human form. With your talent, you might be stuck at the Fifth Tier for life. I can give you a Form Transformation Grass to help you transform, how about that?" Xiao Ming said with a smile.
"This..."
Upon hearing this, the Snow Demon Sky Ape hesitated for a moment.
Although Magical Beast have advantages over humans, such as longer lifespan, stronger physique, and higher combat power at the same level.
However, Magical Beast also has its drawbacks, namely that it values bloodlines even more than humans.
Don't let the fact that the Snow Demon Sky Ape has just come of age fool you; it already possesses the strength of Dou Wang.
But when it dies of old age, it may not be able to break through this limit and will remain in this realm forever, and what limits it is its bloodline.
However, if it takes on human form, this limitation will be greatly reduced.
Once he takes human form, he will possess both the Cultivation Talent of a human and the long lifespan of Magical Beast, thus greatly increasing his potential for growth.
Therefore, Xiao Ming's offer was very tempting to it.
But the Snow Demon Sky Ape was furious at the thought that this human had just beaten it half to death and was now trying to recruit it.
After letting out a cold snort, it said in a muffled voice, "I agree!"
