Cultivation: Starting from a Fighting Cock

Chapter 109 Success
Big Yellow's mission is to protect Little Flower. In this battle, these two little guys can't participate too much; survival is their top priority.

"You guys, go after them!"

Zhou Mu immediately selected several martial artists, who responded and chased after the wolf demon and the masked fox.

Ji Cheng saw the group of people, controlled a fire snake to rush over, and engaged in a fierce battle with the martial artists, burning three of them to death in the blink of an eye.

"It's 'The Fiery Serpent Transformation'!"

Su Qing was extremely surprised. She was very familiar with this spell. How could this chicken demon have learned the "Fire Serpent Transformation" of the "Triple Transformation of Spiritual Fire"?
The Azure Flame Rabbit also squeaked, seemingly denouncing the chicken demon and asking where it had stolen the "Fire Serpent Transformation" technique.
In the air, Ji Cheng's attack was too fierce. He used wind and fire to attack, and in just a moment, he caused casualties of twenty or thirty people. The martial artists screamed and fled in all directions.

"What...what kind of monster is this?"

Beside Su Qing, the second-in-command of the Green Bamboo Gang stared in disbelief. Just what level was this chicken demon? How could it seem to have an endless supply of flames?
Zhao Qian stared at the chicken demon for a moment, lost in thought. It turned out to be the fighting rooster from the Zhao family.
He simply couldn't connect the two.

"Let's quickly move to the side to avoid getting hurt. Zhao Qian, walk around the edge of the barrier and see how big it is!"

Su Qing ordered everyone to retreat, as getting too close would make them vulnerable to being caught in the fighting.

In the center of the battlefield, several warriors drew their bows and shot arrows, aiming at the chicken demon in the air.

The python demon revealed its ten-zhang-long body, swept away several archers with a flick of its tail, and then sprayed putrid liquid at Zhou Mu and his group.

Zhou Mu quickly leaped backward to dodge, and five or six people were unable to avoid him. In an instant, they were melted into blood by the putrid liquid, screaming in agony.

Second-tier demonic beasts are invincible to anyone who is not at the Opening Meridian Realm.

Back then, when Zhou Mu led his men to capture the python demon, he relied on two mid-stage Qi Opening Realm experts, Wang Heng and Wang Zhi, as well as the Blind Taoist and a group of internal energy martial artists wielding weapons.

Now that Wang Heng is dead, Wang Zhi is seriously injured and has lost his fighting power, and other powerful figures are either dead or injured, it will not be an easy task to restrain the second-tier python demon.

"Ancestor, please take action to eliminate the demon!"

Zhou Mu shouted at the Zhou family patriarch, "If Zhou Kuang doesn't make a move, all of us will die at the hands of these demonic beasts."

"Quickly, get me out of here!"

Wang Zhi anxiously shouted to his disciples, as he was in extremely poor condition and if the python demon targeted him, he might very well perish on Python Mountain.

Several disciples carried him and fled towards the edge of the forest, but due to the existence of the barrier, they could not escape and could only find a place to hide at the edge of the barrier.

"Moo~"

Ah Niu stared intently at the Zhou family patriarch, his hooves lightly stomping on the ground. If Zhou Kuang dared to attack Brother Chicken and the python demon, he could seize the opportunity to strike at Zhou Kuang.

"Can you believe that this tiny town of Wuzhen actually harbors two second-tier demonic beasts!"

Zhou Kuang glanced at the bull demon and the python demon, quite surprised.

In such a small place, a single first-tier wolf demon could rule the land, but unexpectedly, two second-tier demon beasts have gathered here.

Moreover, what is most counterintuitive is that monsters are basically solitary creatures, and you have never seen several monsters appearing together.
Soon, Zhou Kuang made his move, striking Ji Cheng in mid-air with a palm strike.

Ji Cheng couldn't see it, but he vaguely felt a powerful palm print coming towards him at great speed. He flapped his wings to dodge, but was still grazed by the edge of the palm print. Even though he crossed his wings and used his feather blades to block, he was still knocked away, and more than twenty feather blades shattered.

He spat out a mouthful of blood, but it wasn't a big problem; he could use the chicken blood to enhance the power of the flames.

He stabilized himself in mid-air and spewed out a large amount of flames, forming a fire snake seven or eight zhang long.

As soon as the fire serpent took shape, the temperature in the mountains and forests suddenly rose significantly. All the martial artists were stunned. What kind of powerful spell was this?

From a distance, Su Qing watched in astonishment. The fire snake of the chicken demon was much larger than the fire snake she had just had. Just what level of cultivation did this chicken demon possess?
Below, when Zhou Kuang attacked Ji Cheng, A Niu seized the opportunity to rush over, stood up on its hind legs, and punched Zhou Kuang with its hoof.

Zhou Kuang's lips twitched slightly. This bull demon was incredibly strong; its punch had forced him to take three steps back.

At this moment, the fire serpent pounced down, opening its huge mouth to devour Zhou Kuang!

Zhou Kuang let out a loud shout, and a phantom image of a giant elephant appeared around him. The fire serpent swallowed it whole, and the flames instantly spread to the entire body of the phantom elephant.

This giant elephant phantom was formed from internal energy and withstood the power of the fire serpent. As the flames gradually died down, the phantom became more and more transparent.

Zhou Kuang wasn't burned, but he was sweating profusely from the heat. Suddenly, a huge tail slammed down.

It was the python demon's attack that forced Zhou Kuang to retreat rapidly more than ten feet away, leaving a crater where he had been standing.

Zhou Kuang's disheveled white hair was slightly messy. He believed it now; these demonic beasts were indeed not to be trifled with.

Two second-tier demonic beasts, plus a very strange chicken demon of unknown realm.

He could easily kill Kong Shen, who had only broken through to the late stage of the Meridian Opening Realm by taking drugs, but facing these three demonic beasts at the same time, the pressure suddenly increased.

The bull demon and python demon were physically powerful enough to fight him head-on, but what bothered him most was the chicken demon's ranged magical attacks, whose power was not to be underestimated. Furthermore, he still hadn't figured out the chicken demon's level and abilities, which made him somewhat uneasy. *Whoosh whoosh whoosh!*
Ji Cheng unleashed over a hundred feather blades, repelling the charging warriors. At the same time, he flapped his wings and swooped down towards the Blood-Patterned Serpent Eye Fruit.

"court death!"

When Zhou Kuang saw that the chicken demon dared to snatch the spirit fruit in front of him, he was about to attack it when A Niu leaped high and delivered a crushing blow to him.

Ah Niu slammed down on Zhou Kuang with its massive weight, its horns pointing downwards, leaving Zhou Kuang no time to spare. Ji Cheng successfully picked the spiritual fruit and quickly flapped his wings to rise into the sky.

The spirit fruit has been obtained, but unfortunately there is a barrier blocking it; otherwise, Ji Cheng and the other demonic beasts could have retreated by now.

Below, Ah Niu and the python demon simultaneously launched a fierce battle against the Zhou family patriarch.

Zhou Mu commanded a group of internal energy martial artists to go up and help, while the python demon used its molted snake to create a clone to deal with these martial artists.

"These monsters are incredibly powerful!"

"The key point is that they even know how to cooperate and join forces to deal with the Zhou family patriarch, which is truly unbelievable!"

On Su Qing's side, all the martial artists were shocked by the powerful combat strength displayed by this group of demonic beasts.

Where had they ever seen such a well-coordinated team of monsters?
"That chicken demon managed to steal the spirit fruit..."

The fourth leader of the Green Bamboo Gang glanced at Su Qing. Who would have thought it would turn out like this?

As Su Qing watched the fierce battle unfold, a deep sense of powerlessness welled up within her. She was only at the fourth level of Qi Refining, capable of dealing with a first-tier demonic beast, but the battle between the Zhou family patriarch and two second-tier demonic beasts was something she could not possibly interfere with.

So, when the chicken demon took the Blood-Striped Snake Eye Fruit, she could only watch helplessly.

On the contrary, the Azure Flame Rabbit on her shoulder was secretly delighted. As expected of Brother Chicken, he is incredibly reliable!
Big Yellow led Little Flower away from the battlefield and hid behind a boulder.

Looking at the battle in the arena, Dahuang felt a little relieved. The python demon and the bull demon were much stronger than it had estimated, and it seemed that their side was not weak either.

"How exactly can this barrier be broken?"

Ji Cheng obtained the spiritual fruit and placed it in his crop space. He quickly ascended into the sky, briefly escaping the battlefield.

He observed the surrounding barriers, flew around, and found that the barrier space was more than 300 zhang in length, width, and height.

It's unclear whether this barrier was set up by the Zhou family patriarch or the blind Taoist.

Ji Cheng had almost no knowledge of barriers and formations. He tried to break through the barrier with flames and feather blades, but failed.

In the battle below, the two second-tier demonic beasts, Ah Niu and Lao Bai, joined forces and were barely able to contend with the Zhou family patriarch.

When the fight actually started, he realized that the Zhou family patriarch was not as invincible as he had imagined.

After all, the Zhou family patriarch's foundation was damaged by two failed attempts at Foundation Establishment. His blood and magical power were no longer at their peak. What he truly relied on was this physical body at the peak of the Meridian Opening Realm.

He had just easily killed Kong Shen, which led Ji Cheng to overestimate his strength.

However, the combat power of Ah Niu and the python demon was much stronger than Ji Cheng had imagined. Both of these demonic beasts had very strong physical bodies and were not at a disadvantage against the Zhou family patriarch.

However, what particularly concerned Ji Cheng was that the blind Taoist priest hadn't made a move yet.

For some unknown reason, the blind Taoist priest had regained his cultivation level of the ninth level of Qi Refining. He had only intervened a few times earlier when helping Wang Zhi and Wang Heng deal with Kong Shen.

After the Zhou family patriarch appeared, the blind Taoist priest became almost invisible and did not offer any assistance to the Zhou family patriarch.

Ji Cheng had a vague feeling that this old blind man might be planning something big.
"Forget it, let's help Ah Niu and Lao Bai deal with this Zhou family patriarch first!"

Unable to find a way out, Ji Cheng lowered his altitude and joined the battle, but he was always on guard against the blind old Taoist priest.

He first unleashed hundreds of feather blades in succession to help the python demon's molted clones relieve the pressure from the group of martial artists.

Several feather blades flew towards Zhou Mu. Zhou Mu used his internal energy to defend against them, but his shield was quickly pierced. He gritted his teeth and dodged, but one feather blade still pierced through his shoulder.

Zhou Mu looked up at Ji Cheng, who was filled with hatred for the chicken demon. Wang Jingzhi pulled him to hide behind a tree.

Then, Ji Cheng turned his head and used the "Fire Serpent Transformation" again, condensing the flames he spewed into a giant serpent seven or eight zhang long.

He steered the fire serpent toward the Zhou family patriarch, but stopped abruptly in mid-air without directly attacking.

The enormous fire serpent was staring at the Zhou family patriarch at close range. It seemed to have a mind of its own, flicking its fiery tongue and waiting for the patriarch to reveal a weakness.

The pressure on the Zhou family patriarch increased. He didn't know when the fire serpent would launch a surprise attack, so he had to be on guard, which led to him being suppressed by the bull demon and the python demon in the front.

Seeing this, Su Qing was slightly surprised and exclaimed, "This chicken demon is so clever!"
