Chapter 338: Chapter 138 Health-preserving Cultivation Technique! Health-preserving Fist and Health-preserving Skills!_1

“That Demon Monster was very enigmatic, its aura vastly different from the common sort.”

Currently in the forest, Su Changkong’s face showed deep thought; he could feel that the aura of Mo Ying was greatly different from the Demon Monster, Feng Mo, he had encountered previously.

The aura Feng Mo displayed was completely evil, whereas Mo Ying, before it revealed its aura, was not much different from an ordinary person.

Why there was such a difference, Su Changkong couldn’t quite understand for the moment.

“The abilities of that Demon Monster are very strange, capable of mimicking other people’s Martial Arts, and it’s unknown how far it can go.”

Hong Zhenxiang was also musing.

To be able to mimic other people’s Martial Arts and nearly perfectly match them was indeed terrifying — a Demon Art unique to Demon Monsters!

However, it wasn’t without methods to counter it; the simplest way was to outnumber it, as Mo Ying seemed to be able to mimic only one person’s abilities at a time. Hong Zhenxiang’s attack just now had caught it off guard.

Furthermore, it seemed it must first see its opponent make a move before it could mimic it.

Earlier, when Su Changkong began with a Chopping Blade Gang to decapitate Mo Ying, his move was mimicked just the same.

Even with certain limitations, Mo Ying’s abilities were indeed powerful.

“Younger Brother Su, you actually killed Chasing Soul Arrow? That guy even managed to escape from me last time!”

Hong Zhenxiang looked toward the distant body of Xiao Bili, quite astonished.

Xiao Bili was skilled in Archery and never confronted anyone face to face. Relying on his excellent Qinggong, even when facing an enemy stronger than himself, he could easily escape. His reputation around Dafeng State City was not trivial, yet he died at the hands of a young man.

“How are things at the rebel camp now?”

Su Changkong did not talk more about this matter and inquired about the situation at the rebel camp.

“It should be nearly over. Sect Leader Ding Qiu of the Black Lotus Sect was killed by me, and the brothers of the Dafeng Iron Cavalry followed suit to clean up the aftermath. It’s likely almost taken care of by now.”

Hong Zhenxiang responded.

Ding Qiu, as a Sect Leader of the Black Lotus Sect, was not mediocre in strength and had even consumed Pill Medicine that tapped into his potential, but he was still no match for Hong Zhenxiang and thus couldn’t sustain the fight for long. Initially, there was also Xiao Bili who could threaten from a distance, but he was dealt with by Su Changkong.

The tide turned, resulting in one-sided slaughter; the rebels’ abilities were uneven, no match for the well-trained Dafeng Iron Cavalry.

Indeed, upon returning to the rebel camp, Su Changkong and Hong Zhenxiang saw that it had turned into a field of Asura, littered with corpses. Almost none of the rebels could escape and they were wiped out completely.

When facing the rebels, no one held back!

This battle could be considered a complete victory.

“Commander Hong is too powerful! As expected of the strongest among the Dafeng Iron Cavalry, even the powerful Ding Qiu died at his hands!”

Many soldiers were filled with admiration for Hong Zhenxiang, having witnessed his overwhelming strength firsthand.

“And Qin Wufeng… was it him who dealt with Chasing Soul Arrow? His Archery is too brilliant!”

There were also experts who had seen Su Changkong confront Xiao Bili with arrows and respected his transcendental Archery skills.

“Clean up the battlefield and dispose of the bodies properly, we don’t want to cause an epidemic!”

Subsequently, Hong Zhenxiang ordered the clearing of the scene; with so many corpses, they had to be dealt with collectively to prevent them from rotting and potentially causing an epidemic.

The great battle ended, and in the wee hours, Su Changkong and the others triumphantly returned to Dafeng State City.

But neither Su Changkong nor Hong Zhenxiang had peace of mind.

“That Demon Monster, Mo Ying, and the person secretly playing the flute to summon it away, just who are they? Could they also be lurking within Dafeng State City, likely foes rather than friends!”

Hong Zhenxiang was wary of the identities and backgrounds of Mo Ying and the other, fearing they might pose a danger to Dafeng State City.

“Are Demon Monsters really so powerful? Mo Ying could even mimic the Blade Gang I crafted through hard practice!”

Su Changkong’s heart was undoubtedly the most restless.

He knew he had never slacked in his Martial Arts practice; his strength came from hard cultivation, without cutting any corners. He believed that even within Dafeng State City, only a few could be stronger than him.

Yet, faced with Mo Ying, his painstakingly cultivated Martial Arts were effortless for the Demon Monster to mimic and use against him, with even no less power than his own.

This was no small blow to Su Changkong. Years of dedication seemingly nullified by a mysterious Demon Monster that emerged from nowhere, capable of countering him — had Hong Zhenxiang not been there, he might not have managed to escape from Mo Ying, with slim chances of survival.

“Strength… my strength is still far from sufficient! I must become stronger!”

Fire blazed in Su Changkong’s eyes. He had always grown stronger when facing stronger opponents, unyieldingly, turning pressure into motivation.

Since he was not strong enough now, then he would become stronger! Su Changkong refused to believe that Mo Ying’s Demon Art was really invincible, assuming any Martial Art he knew could be mimicked. As long as he improved himself to a level beyond imitation, or became strong enough to slay the enemy before it could mimic him, victory would be his!

Two days later, back at the manor in Dafeng State City, Hong Zhenxiang met with Su Changkong.

“Younger Brother Su, in this battle you killed Xiao Bili; had it not been for you, our losses would not have been small. What do you want? You can ask for anything!”

Hong Zhenxiang then said to Su Changkong.

Within the Dafeng Iron Cavalry, rewards were given according to contribution: with achievements came spoils of war and rewards.

Though Su Changkong had killed only one person in this battle, that person was the weighty Xiao Bili, undoubtedly making a notable contribution!
