The Wood Qi Bottle is a purely auxiliary tool, equivalent to an extremely skilled doctor.
As for those five points of attack power, forget about them; they're definitely meant for smashing people.
In addition to the superior-grade True Artifact, the A+-rank treasure Wood Qi Bottle, Xu Long also obtained three Low-Grade Spirit Stone.
Instead of draining the spiritual energy from it, he stored it away, intending to ask the Main God about it after returning.
After killing the Poison Lady, Xu Long turned his attention to other targets.
From 50th place on the Demon Hunting List down, the highest C-rank, and the rewards are all in the form of gold and silver.
From the 50th rank upwards, the lowest B-rank, and the reward starts at a Low-Grade Spirit Stone.
Xu Long planned to wipe out all these demons, eliminating harm for the people while also making some personal gain.
The situation in this world is extremely simple: it's a battle between a group of exorcists and a group of demons.
Western Heaven Spirit Mountain and the Heavenly Court are two supreme and powerful forces.
In their minds, exorcists and demons alike are nothing but ants, pawns they can manipulate at will.
The Heavenly Court and Spirit Mountain are invincible in this world; there's no way they can defeat them.
Xu Long was naturally not foolish; his target was the Demon King Son Goku, not the Heavenly Immortal.
This makes the situation much simpler.
While Xu Long's side was engaged in a bloodbath, Chen Xuanzang had already embarked on the path of searching for the Demon King Son Goku, following the trajectory of fate.
Five Elements Mountain is a secret realm that no one but the chosen ones can enter.
As for the chosen ones, they were naturally Chen Xuanzang and Miss Duan.
When Son Goku breaks free from the seal, the secret realm disappears, and the exorcists lingering outside are able to see the Demon King Son Goku.
Of the top fifty demons on the Demon Hunting List, sixteen have already been killed by other exorcists. Apart from Son Goku, twenty-four of the remaining thirty-three have died at Xu Long's hands.
After slaying these twenty-four demons, Xu Long obtained a total of fifty-one Low-Grade Spirit Stone and twenty treasures of different levels.
Because of his insane killing spree, the remaining demons, in order to protect themselves, all gathered together and waited for Xu Long to come to their door.
"You think you can defeat me like this?"
Looking at the nine demons in front of him, Xu Long's lips curled into a disdainful smile.
He fears no single demon except for Son Goku.
But such a large group appearing together is quite troublesome.
Of the nine demons, three are ranked in the top ten, and the remaining six are between eleven and twenty.
This force was unprecedentedly powerful, and even the Prince Kidney Deficiency, who was known as the number one exorcist, dared not provoke it.
" Sky-Rending Wolf King, Black Mountain Pig King, Jade-Faced Gentleman, how could you three associate with these lowly minions!"
Xu Long looked at the three men in the lead and basically understood what was going on.
The Sky-Rending Wolf King ranks second on the Demon Hunting List.
The Black Mountain Pig King ranks sixth on the Demon Hunting List.
The Jade-Faced Gentleman is ranked seventh on the Demon Hunting List.
These three are all genuine A-rank, far superior to someone like Poison Lady.
The top ten on the Demon Hunting List Ranking are all genuine A-rank monsters.
It has no obvious weaknesses in any aspect and is extremely powerful.
Xu Long killed the third, fourth, and fifth demons on the Demon Hunting List through sneak attacks and ambushes.
If it were a direct confrontation, it would take a lot of effort.
"It's all about survival, it's no big deal."
The Jade-Faced Gentleman waved the fan in his hand, exuding a gentle and refined air.
His true form is a giant snake, with a sinister and ruthless nature, yet he is extremely intelligent. It is estimated that he was the one who orchestrated this incident.
"Humans, we don't want to be your enemies. Instead of fighting for a little gold and silver, let's turn hostility into friendship."
The Jade-Faced Gentleman chuckled softly, his good looks radiating composure.
"We have no shortage of gold and silver, nor do we lack rare and exotic animals. Yueru?"
The other demons couldn't understand the Jade-Faced Gentleman's refined words, but although their faces were full of murderous intent, none of them interrupted.
Clearly, they all understood that Xu Long was extremely difficult to deal with.
Today they can force it to retreat by sheer numbers, but what about in the future? They can't stay together every day.
"I'll just have a drink; I don't want to cause too much bloodshed, but I really have no choice. I'm sick and desperately need the essence of demons to heal."
Upon hearing Xu Long's words, the demons gasped for breath, their faces instantly turning grim.
Their expressions gradually relaxed upon hearing Xu Long's next words.
"Of course, besides demonic essence, there are other alternatives."
Xu Long took out a Low-Grade Spirit Stone and casually tossed it over.
"What is this? It looks familiar."
The Sky-Rending Wolf King took the Spirit Stone, examined it carefully, and then gave it to the Black Mountain Pig King.
After the nine demons passed it around once, the Spirit Stone returned to Xu Long's hands.
"When my men were offering tribute last month, it seems a pangolin brought this. I called him over and asked him about it."
The Black Mountain Pig King gave a signal and immediately summoned his subordinate.
Xu Long wasn't in a hurry to make a move; if the benefits were sufficient, he might not even need to.
What's the purpose of killing these demons? Isn't it just for the Spirit Stone?
Xu Long would only risk his life against these demons if they offered him enough benefits.
Three top -A-rank fighters and six elite B-rank fighters—what can Xu Long use to fight them?
Go wash up and go to bed. Xu Long isn't that strong yet.
He didn't have to wait long; about ten minutes later, a pangolin came running over, all trotting along.
"Your Majesty, all the Little Stone I dug up are here!"
The pangolin's voice was soft and sweet, sounding like a little girl.
"Friend, is this what you're looking for?"
The Black Mountain Pig King gave a signal, and the pangolin immediately ran to Xu Long.
"M-M-My Lord... this... this..."
The little guy was terrified; he was trembling and could barely speak.
Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you.
Xu Long stroked the pangolin's head and took the object from its hand; it was indeed Spirit Stone.
"This is it. How much of this do you have left? I'll take it all!"
Xu Long stored the handful of Spirit Stone in his storage space, and then took out more than a dozen items of different levels.
They're all below A-rank. Xu Long would just sell them for points after returning to the Main World, so it's better to give them to these demons.
As the saying goes, no one gets up early without a reason. Even if they have found Spirit Stone due to the pressure of survival, they are bound to resort to dishonest and cunning methods.
However, if these treasures were used in exchange, the situation would be entirely different.
Based on what they had said before, they did not know the use of Spirit Stone.
Xu Long fabricated an excuse to use Spirit Stone to cure diseases, which would most likely lower their guard.
