Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

Song Changsheng came to the top of the mountain and stood still, his eyes slightly narrowed, looking quietly straight ahead.

I saw a huge black shadow carrying a demonic aura heading straight for the sacred peak where Jin Xuan was in seclusion. Wherever it passed, trees fell down, dust flew, and the ground beneath its feet seemed to be shaking slightly.

Many monsters summoned by Jin Xuan were intimidated by its powerful aura. They froze in place for a moment, and were unable to dodge and were ruthlessly trampled into meat paste by it.

"One-horned Black Rhino, I didn't expect to see a subspecies of the One-horned Black Rhino here. Could it be that they just happened to pass by and were attracted by the aura emitted by Jin Xuan's breakthrough?"

Song Changsheng couldn't help but feel puzzled. The land under his feet used to belong to the Shiwan Mountains. Although there were countless tribes of monsters in the Shiwan Mountains, he had never heard of the [One-horned Black Rhino] appearing anywhere.

Because the horn of the [One-horned Rhino] clan is the gathering place of its own essence, it can not only be used to refine weapons, but it is also an excellent tool for refining elixirs. The [One-horned Rhino] in the Shiwanda Mountains were hunted out completely in the early years.

The only possible explanation is that the other party came from the demon realm on the other side of the Canglan River and happened to pass by here.

It is worth pondering why it would travel thousands of miles across the Canglan River to reach the human territory.

Just as he was thinking about it, the [One-horned Black Rhino] rushed all the way to the foot of the sacred peak.

Although the several second-level top-grade monsters that surrendered to Jin Xuan were trembling with fear at the powerful force emanating from it, they never retreated a single step. They even used loud roars to summon the surrounding monsters to try to resist the advance of the [One-horned Black Rhino].

Although they were a group of monsters, Song Changsheng couldn't help but admire their courage and loyalty.

"Alas, you are loyal to Jin Xuan, and I still can't bear to watch you fly into the fire."

With a faint sigh, Song Changsheng took a slow step forward, and instantly crossed a distance of several miles to arrive right above the [One-horned Black Rhino].

With a slight stroke, a three-foot-long sword with a cold glow appeared in his hand. It was the top-grade magic weapon [Ding Jiangshan] that had been passed down by the Song family for hundreds of years.

Because he had used up most of his magic weapons in setting up the formation, the only magic weapon he had left, the [Yin Yang Soul-Slaying Gourd], was still useful. The others, such as the [Five Elements Creation Seal] and the [Silver Dragon Mace], could not keep up with Song Changsheng's pace.

So, before he came to Tuozhou, Song Xianming handed the family sword to him.

Holding the sword, Song Changsheng stared at the [One-horned Black Rhino] below with an expressionless face, and said murderously: "Your opponent is me."

"Human race."

The voice of [One-horned Black Rhino] was full of surprise. It obviously did not expect to encounter a Purple Mansion cultivator of the human race here. It subconsciously began to look around, fearing that it would accidentally step into an ambush of the human race.

After taking a careful look around and finding nothing unusual, it put its heart back into its stomach and was no longer nervous as before.

It has already sensed that Song Changsheng's cultivation level is almost the same as its own. In a one-on-one situation, even if it is defeated, it will always be able to escape safely.

Of course, it doesn't think it will get to that point.

I couldn't help but sneer and said, "You are the only one who dares to speak so arrogantly?"

"Humph!"

Song Changsheng snorted coldly, and the sound echoed in the ears of the [One-horned Black Rhino] like thunder.

Then it felt a flash before its eyes, and Song Changsheng, dressed in a green shirt, had already come to its face with a sword. The surging sword intent released from his body made it tremble with fear.

Only then did it realize how arrogant it had been. Although it and Song Changsheng were at the same level, their strengths were not on the same level at all.

But at this point, it was no use regretting and it could only bite the bullet and fight.

"Roar--"

With a long and shocking roar, invisible sound waves enveloped Song Changsheng.

Unexpectedly, Song Changsheng was not moved at all. The sword energy surrounding him swayed slightly, and all the sound waves disappeared into thin air.

"Chong-"

The [Ding Jiangshan] in his hand let out a crisp sword chant, and he slashed out with the sword. The brilliant sword energy was like a silver dragon, sweeping directly towards the [One-horned Black Rhino].

[One-horned Black Rhino]'s huge eyes were filled with ferocity, and he suddenly raised his front paw and slapped the sword energy that was so close to him.

"laugh……"

There was a flash of blood, and the [One-horned Black Rhino] let out a suppressed roar, and its huge body retreated several steps with a "thump thump".

Looking at the huge bloodstain on its front paw, the [One-horned Black Rhino] looked towards Song Changsheng with fear. The physique that it had always been proud of was as weak as paper in front of this man.

Song Changsheng was also a little surprised. This was his first attack since his breakthrough, and he did not have a clear understanding of his own strength, so this sword was mainly for testing, and he only used 70% to 80% of his strength. He did not expect that he could directly hurt the [One-horned Black Rhino] which was famous for its defensive power.

The improvement brought to him by this breakthrough was far greater than he had imagined. Of course, this might also be due to the part of the Demon King's origin that he refined.

Song Changsheng couldn't help but secretly said: "It's a good opportunity to see where my current limit is."

Thinking of this, he no longer held back his strength, and with his sword raised, he silently charged towards the [One-horned Black Rhino].

The man and the beast fought together. In an instant, sand and rocks flew everywhere, and the earth shook. The destructive power of the Purple Mansion cultivator was undoubtedly revealed at this moment. He could often flatten a small hill with one sword, and break hundreds of tall ancient trees with one slap.

Many monsters were affected by the aftermath of their battle, and some were seriously injured, while others exploded on the spot.

The two men had been fighting for less than a quarter of an hour, and the huge body of the [One-horned Black Rhino] was already covered with hideous bloodstains. Even with its powerful recovery ability, it was now unable to recover.

But the wounds all over its body did not frighten the [One-horned Black Rhino]. Instead, they further stimulated its fighting spirit and desire to survive. It had completely given up its own defense and launched a fierce attack on Song Changsheng with all its might.

But what made it feel despair was that Song Changsheng's speed was too fast. Even with the help of the minor magical power [Shrinking the Earth into an Inch], it couldn't even touch the corner of Song Changsheng's clothes.

However, due to its huge size, it was in a completely passive situation when facing Song Changsheng. If it were not for its thick skin and flesh, it would have lost its combat effectiveness long ago.

What made it most desperate was that it couldn't even escape. After all, Song Changsheng had already demonstrated his terrifying speed.

"Where on earth did such a powerful human cultivator come from!" [One-horned Black Rhino] couldn't help but roar in his heart. Although it rarely came to the human territory, those who could possess such strength were definitely rare in the Da Qi cultivation world.

"Human, who are you!"

[One-horned black rhino] roared wildly, even if he died, he couldn't die so unclearly. "You are not qualified to know who I am. If you tell me the truth about your purpose of coming to Tuozhou, I promise to only cut off your body and not destroy your soul." Song Changsheng's eyes were like swords, and his voice was as cold as the cold wind in December.

"Human, you are too arrogant!" The [One-horned Black Rhino] was filled with grief and indignation. As a person with the bloodline of [One-horned Sky-reaching Rhino], it was also a dominant existence in the demon realm. When had it ever been insulted like this? It didn't even have the qualifications to know the other party's name.

Song Changsheng was not moved at all, pointing the sword in his hand, and said coldly: "I am just stating a basic fact. Even if you don't say it, I can just kill you directly, and searching your soul afterwards will not make much difference.

If you enter our human territory, I will kill you, and it is my duty. I am giving you a way out, and it is a mercy beyond the law. It is up to you whether you want to leave or not."

"Humans, don't be too presumptuous!" [One-horned Black Rhino] roared, and the meter-long horn flickered, with a terrifying power brewing within it.

Song Changsheng's eyes turned cold, and he said in a cold voice: "You are so stubborn, you asked for it!"

"Set the country in order—kill the monster!"

He held up [Ding Jiangshan] with both hands, and the sharp sword energy wrapped around the blade. When the power accumulated to a certain point, he swung it out suddenly. As soon as the sword came out, the sky was filled with sword lights like rain.

"Roar--"

The [One-horned Black Rhino] let out a terrifying roar, and a beam of black light shot out from its horn. This is the innate magical power of the [One-horned Black Rhino] clan. They usually absorb spiritual energy continuously to meet their own cultivation needs, while storing the excess demon energy in their huge horns.

The more demon energy stored, the stronger the power that would be unleashed. This attack of [One-horned Black Rhino] had been accumulated for decades. When it was released at this moment, its power was no less than the sword slashed by Song Changsheng.

"boom--"

Accompanied by a deafening roar, a huge wave of air swept in all directions.

This attack ended in a draw between the man and the beast.

But Song Changsheng is still at his peak, while the [One-horned Black Rhino] can no longer launch an equally powerful attack.

[One-horned Black Rhino] couldn't help but reveal a hint of despair in his eyes. In the past, every time he used his innate magical powers, he could severely injure or even directly kill his enemies. But now, he had fallen into the hands of this mediocre human cultivator.

Compared to its despair, Song Changsheng's attention at this moment was completely focused on the huge horn of the [Unicorn Black Rhino].

There is a reason why the [One-horned Rhino] clan that once lived in the Ten Thousand Mountains were hunted by humans. Their horn is indeed extraordinary. As a weapon refiner, he couldn't help but be tempted. It is indeed an excellent material for refining weapons.

But his gaze was considered humiliating by the [One-horned Black Rhino].

"Human race, you won't get anything!"

[One-horned Black Rhino] let out an angry roar, and the power in its body began to rise steadily. It actually chose to self-destruct its inner elixir and die together with Song Changsheng.

If it were an ordinary person, he would have no choice but to flee in panic, but unfortunately he met Song Changsheng.

"Suppress all the evil spirits!"

Song Changsheng waved his hand, and a small black four-legged tripod appeared in his palm.

The small tripod expanded rapidly in his palm, and a lifelike Qiongqi rushed out of the tripod, opened its bloody mouth and swallowed the huge [One-horned Black Rhino] directly.

[One-horned Black Rhino] was suddenly horrified to find that he couldn't even self-destruct.

Looking at the [One-horned Black Rhino] that was stored in the cauldron, Song Changsheng showed a satisfied smile.

As his cultivation level increases, he is now able to use the [Bai Sha Qiong Qi] more and more easily. If it were before, he would never have been able to do this.

"I'll give you one more chance. Submit to me and become the guardian beast of my tribe. Otherwise, both your soul and body will be destroyed!"

Although he knew that it would be unlikely to successfully persuade the other party to surrender given its unyielding character, Song Changsheng still decided to go through the process. What if it suddenly came to its senses after hovering on the brink of death?
But the [One-horned Black Rhino] disappointed him after all. He heard it shouting in the cauldron: "My loyalty is only to my king. Who do you think you are?"

Song Changsheng was speechless upon hearing this, and immediately put away those unrealistic thoughts in his heart. He shook his head slightly and said, "In that case, let me see who your king is."

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and touched the center of the brow of the [One-horned Black Rhino]. The powerful spiritual power directly broke through its sea of ​​consciousness defense and forcibly pulled its soul out.

He then used the [Soul Searching Technique] to search the soul directly.

Along with the screams of the [One-horned Black Rhino]'s soul, a huge amount of information soon poured into his sea of ​​consciousness like a tide.

He quickly filtered out most of the useless content and kept only the valuable parts.

As he pulled, the cry of the [One-horned Black Rhino] became weaker and weaker, and finally it was annihilated in his hand and dissipated into a point of light.

Song Changsheng stood motionless in the air with his eyes closed. After a stick of incense had passed, he slowly opened his eyes and whispered softly, "It turned out to be this."

He already knew who the "king" that the [One-horned Black Rhino] was talking about was. It was the [Black Dragon Demon King] who once dominated the Black Water Swamp and even the entire Ten Thousand Mountains.

At the beginning, it and the [Thunder Demon King] launched a beast tide to attack the Da Qi cultivation world, but ended up being besieged by a group of Jindan Zhenren led by Su Ding.

[Thunder Demon King] was no match for the city lord and was killed by him directly. [Black Dragon Demon King] was no match for four hands with his two fists and disappeared without a trace after his tail was cut off.

Unexpectedly, the other party disappeared for decades and sent its minions back to this land.

The task given to the [One-horned Black Rhino] by the other party was very simple, which was to integrate the remaining demon power east of the Canglan River. It had already integrated several places and came here with the same idea, but it happened to be attracted by the breath of Jin Xuan's breakthrough, and ended up hitting a wall here.

"It seems that the [Black Dragon Demon King] is still unwilling to accept the disastrous defeat. Could it be that he wants to make a comeback? It seems that we must quickly pass this news back to Luoxia City."

Song Changsheng's face was a little solemn. Although the Ten Thousand Mountains were incorporated into the human territory, the main force of the demon clan was not destroyed. A considerable number of them fled back to the demon domain. Including the [Black Dragon Demon King], there were at least three demon kings, and the number of great demons was not small either. It was a force that was no weaker than the Golden Crow Sect.

If they want to cause trouble, it will be a bloody storm.

"Cut the grass at its roots, cut the grass at its roots." Song Changsheng sighed. The hidden danger left behind in the past was finally going to erupt...
