Infinite Fighting

The Four Sources of the Universe did not kill Ming Ji on the spot.

One reason is that she ran fast and avoided the core area; another reason is that her true form is a clam demon from the deep sea.

This time, he transformed into his original form and withstood a large amount of damage, but was left with very low health.

At the bottom of that huge pit, there lay a giant red clam with a diameter of at least a thousand feet.

The red clam is covered with marks and wear caused by the attacks from the four cosmic forces.

Zhang Ji's figure appeared from the sky, and he punched the red clam, causing it to shake violently, but he was unable to break through its defenses.

"Let me leave, and I will not pursue the matter from before," Ming Ji said.

Zhang remained silent, only throwing punches that caused the red clam to vibrate continuously.

"Do you know that I am the concubine of the Ghost Emperor of the Underworld? If you dare to kill me, he will not let you get away with it!!"

"Boom boom boom~!"

"The underworld is rich in resources. If you are willing to leave here, I can tell you about one of my treasure troves, which contains all kinds of rare and precious treasures that can greatly enhance your cultivation."

"Boom boom boom boom~!"

Despite being punched over a hundred times, Ming Ji's shell didn't change much.

Zhang Jixin realized that to open the shell of this thing, he would have to use the Four Origins of the Universe again.

However, the four elements of heaven and earth here have just gathered once, and it will take a lot of time to recharge them.

Just as Zhang Ji was feeling slightly troubled, inside the folding cave dwelling he carried, a rusty pig-slaughtering knife at Zhu Sheng's waist was trembling.

It's quite a coincidence.

When Zhang Ji and Qiu Yiyang were fighting, the aftershocks knocked Zhu Sheng and the others into the Luoliu River. Zhu Sheng was the one who was pushed the hardest while protecting Cheng Yao and was thrown into the riverbed. He was entangled in the water plants. At the critical moment, he found this rusty pig-slaughtering knife and cut the water plants to survive.

I thought it was pretty useful at the time, so I just pinned it to my waist.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, it began to tremble.

"Huh? Why is it moving?"

Zhu Sheng pulled out the butcher knife from his waist with a puzzled look on his face. Just as he was examining it, the butcher knife carried him directly through the void, rushed out of Zhang Ji's folded cave, and turned into a red light that headed straight for the blood clam.

Zhang Ji was a little stunned. The next moment, he saw Zhu Sheng holding a rusty knife and sticking it into the middle of the giant clam that Ming Ji had transformed into. Only the hilt of the knife was still sticking out.

"Ahh~!"

Ming Ji seemed to be in pain, her body trembling.

Seeing this, Zhang Ji stomped his foot, stomping it into the ground so that it couldn't struggle to get up.

Zhu Sheng wanted to let go of the butcher knife, but his hand was firmly sucked in and he couldn't pull it away at all.

At the same time, the butcher knife began to rapidly absorb Ming Ji's life force, and the rust on its surface was also dissipating. Some of the life force it converted was poured into Zhu Sheng, causing the boy's physique to grow rapidly, and he soon approached the peak of D-rank.

"That's okay too!"

Zhang Ji raised an eyebrow, somewhat speechless at Zhu Sheng's situation.

He looked up at the sky.

The laws of this world are indeed somewhat manipulative.

If that's the case, then could he also try to borrow some luck?
"If I tell you I can save you, will you give me something in return?"

Zhang Jizhen then spoke, addressing the sky directly.

Almost the instant his words fell to the ground, an immense aura of fortune from this realm descended upon him.

Immediately, the earth trembled violently, and Ming Ji's clam shell opened, releasing the pearl she had nurtured for tens of thousands of years.

Zhang Ji subconsciously raised his hand and grabbed it.

Although the four sources of the universe have drained a lot of his energy, this pearl is still a valuable treasure. Swallowing it will also significantly boost his energy level.

Ming Ji tried to activate the pearl to return it to her body, but it was pinned down by the butcher's knife. Now it was completely unable to move and could not release any demonic power. It could only have its energy drained away little by little, leading to its death.

Zhang Ji held the pearl in his hand, never expecting that the Heavenly Dao of this world was so easy to deal with.

He had barely said he could help when he immediately offered something in return.

Desperate measures should be taken without proper consultation.

Zhang Ji felt that the way of heaven in this world actually had a touch of humanity in it.

It seems that the operability here has been greatly improved!
Although the world is heading towards destruction, it is still a vast world that has nurtured many immortals and gods, and it still has great value to Zhang Ji.

If Heaven were to lend a hand, he could easily gain numerous benefits and accelerate his growth.

If it can actually save the world in the future, this place might even be developed into a second base, which has great potential!
"You... the underworld will not let you get away with this."

This was the last message left by Princess Ming.

Then she fell completely silent.

Zhu Sheng felt the suction of the butcher knife decrease significantly. With a strong pull, his body and the butcher knife flew out. In mid-air, he adjusted his posture, did two somersaults, and landed steadily.

"Eh?"

Zhu Sheng looked at the rust-free knife in his hand, paused for a moment, and seemed to be still thinking about how he had managed to do all this.

“Stop looking at it. That knife is no ordinary object. It’s probably something left behind by some ancient great cultivator. It’s just that no one has used it for a long time and it lacks maintenance, which is why it was like that before. Now that it’s been nourished by demon blood, it can be used again. If you use it to kill demons, as long as it absorbs the demon blood, it can also improve your cultivation and increase your strength,” Zhang Ji said.

"Is that so?"

Zhu Sheng's face lit up with joy, and he seemed a little excited.

Unexpectedly, instead of learning how to slaughter pigs, I first obtained a top-tier demon-slaying sword.

Under the night.

Above the clam shell, Zhang Ji set up a series of tools and had the robot help him cook.

The food contains the flesh of the Nether Princess.

Clam meat isn't particularly tasty, but it's rich in nutrients and energy.

Cheng Yao and the rat demon named Bai Yi also ate some. Zhu Sheng stared at the robot cooking for a long time, quite curious about this puppetry technique.

Qiu Yiyang is in very poor condition right now. He even has a bit of a lack of strength to chew, so Zhu Sheng has to slowly feed him meat broth.

"Here, take this." Zhang Ji handed the green pearl to Qiu Yiyang.

"What...what?"

Qiu Yiyang opened his mouth as if to say something, but couldn't get his words out clearly for a long time.

Zhang Ji placed the pearl directly into Zhu Sheng's hand and said, "Feed him."

“Yes, senior.” Zhu Sheng nodded.

Immediately, he stuffed the pearl into Qiu Yiyang's mouth.

Qiu Yiyang was almost powerless to resist. He poured more broth into his mouth, tilted his head back, and swallowed the bead.

The bead itself is an extremely pure energy polymer, which can be said to be Ming Ji's natal demon core.

Eating it directly is an extremely nourishing food.

Qiu Yiyang was able to digest it with difficulty. After eating this precious pearl, he might even turn misfortune into good fortune and break through to S-level soon.

Zhang Ji didn't feel like he was losing money or wasting his time.

He can easily find resources at this level now.

He currently has no help in this world. People like Qiu Yiyang and Zhu Sheng, who are favored by the heavens, have a very high potential. If he nurtures them now, the return on investment in the future will be more than 100%.
After swallowing the pearl, Qiu Yiyang quickly began to refine it. After a while, he regained some of his complexion and was able to speak again.

"Brother Zhang, those are your spoils of war, yet you're just giving them to me like this. How can I accept this?" Qiu Yiyang said somewhat awkwardly.

"When did you become so hesitant? Just kill another powerful demon and return it to me later, won't that solve the problem?" Zhang Ji said.

"Haha, that's right!"

Qiu Yiyang smiled, then ladled himself a bowl of meat soup, no longer letting Zhu Sheng feed him.

He complained that Zhu Sheng was feeding him too slowly and in too small bites.

Zhu Sheng wasn't annoyed. He went to Bai Yi's side, took the roasted meat Bai Yi handed him, and began to eat heartily.

While eating and looking at the star-studded sky, I felt a strange sense of peace.

Unfortunately, the peace was only temporary; reality was the problem they had to face.

"Kid, what are your plans for the future?" Qiu Yiyang asked Zhu Sheng.

“Uncle Qiu, I want to take Xiao Yao back to the village first,” Zhu Sheng replied.

"And her?" Qiu Yiyang glanced at Bai Yi and asked.

Bai Yi is a rat demon. Although she did not eat human flesh, she served as a helper to powerful demons in that demon cave for a long time, which is definitely a grave sin for humans.

In other words, when he encountered Qiu Yiyang and Zhang Ji, two relatively flexible people, he assumed that he had been coerced and forced to abandon darkness for light.

But if it were anyone else, it would absolutely not be accepted.

Zhu Sheng was clearly a little confused as well.

He was just a fifteen-year-old boy who hadn't experienced much in his life, so he didn't understand many life lessons. He also didn't have a deep understanding of the hatred between different races and didn't understand the current hostile situation between humans and demons.

He only knew that Bai Yi was very good to him and had saved him. After going through so much together, they could be considered friends.

Bai Yi noticed Zhu Sheng's confusion and, not wanting to embarrass him, said, "I can cover my ears and tail."

"You can cover it up for a while, but not forever." Qiu Yiyang said, "Although you, little devil, have been helping the wicked before, we can let it go since you have finally come to your senses. But if you stay by Zhu Sheng's side, you will bring him trouble sooner or later. It would be best if you went your separate ways."

"Do we really have to part ways?" Zhu Sheng asked, somewhat reluctantly.

Knowing that the rat demon was quite beautiful, and having experienced so much, Zhu Sheng couldn't help but have some other thoughts in his mind.

“Humans and demons are different, and it’s inevitable that you will have to go home,” Qiu Yiyang said. “This is also for your own good.”

Zhu Sheng and Bai Yi both looked reluctant to part, finding it difficult to make a decision.

Seeing this, Qiu Yiyang decided to play the villain for once.

However, Zhang Ji spoke first, saying, "I do know a place that should be quite suitable for you to go."

"Senior, where is this place?" Zhu Sheng asked hurriedly.

"Two Realms City," Zhang Ji said. "That's where my sect is located. We don't discriminate against demons who don't eat people. We uphold the philosophy of humans and demons coexisting, and we plan to reform the world, restore the order of the ancient Heavenly Court, and bring peace back to the land. You are now quite capable, and it's a waste for you to stay in the village killing pigs. I can recommend you and this rat demon to find jobs in Two Realms City. If we succeed in rebuilding the Heavenly Court in the future, you might even become immortals and ancestors."

Once the pie was drawn up and the story was fabricated, not only Zhu Sheng, this young man, but even Qiu Yiyang, who was next to Zhang Ji, had a change in his eyes.

"Then this lad thanks you very much, senior!" Zhu Sheng immediately bowed with excitement.

“Brother Zhang, with such a background, why didn’t you mention it before?” Qiu Yiyang asked.

“We don’t hire people who are too ugly. Brother Qiu, your appearance is truly repulsive. At first glance, I thought you were an ape demon!” Zhang Ji said with a smirk.

Qiu Yiyang: "."

Zhang Ji and his friends were chatting and laughing, enjoying their barbecue and singing.

However, in the underworld, the Ghost Emperor, who ruled the entire underworld, was not very happy at this moment.

"Ming Ji's soul lamp has gone out?"

A hint of displeasure flashed in Hu Ti's eyes.

Although he had many concubines, as a collector, the loss of any one of them would make him very unhappy.

"Dare to speak out."

"The minister is here."

At his command, a stone tablet with four golden characters engraved on it, located not far from the Tiger-Tiger's throne, responded and immediately transformed into human form, bowing to the Tiger-Tiger.

"Investigate and see what's going on," Tiger Glutton said.

"Understood." (End of Chapter)
