“Hmm,”

“Then why didn’t they join forces to attack Heavenly Gate Mountain?” Li Hao asked.

“The, the King said that the Dragon Master doesn’t want them to take down Heavenly Gate Mountain too soon. That way, they can slowly savor more delicacies and at the same time, tie down the Li Family’s military forces…” the burly woman Trembled as she spoke, her eyes filled with fear, yet it seemed she was also hiding a ferocity.

“If that’s the case, why does it want to attack tonight?”

Li Hao asked again.

“The King said it wants to eat Li Hongzhuang, as for Heavenly Gate Mountain, it can just stay here, waiting to see if any other Li Family members will come to continue guarding it. If there is one, he will eat one,” the burly woman said, cautiously watching Li Hao, the young man in front of her, who also seemed to be a member of the Li Family.

Li Hao’s eyes narrowed slightly; was Heavenly Gate Mountain being used as bait?

Using Heavenly Gate Mountain to consume offerings from the Northern Cold Country while also fishing for the Li Family.

“Why do they want to keep the Li Family delayed here?” Li Hao asked once more.

“I don’t know that, the King didn’t tell me,” the burly woman said, her face turning pale.

“Hmm?”

Li Hao regarded her intently.

“It seems…” the burly woman said nervously, moving closer.

Roar!

Suddenly, her mouth filled with fierce teeth ballooned in size, her expression hideous as she transformed into a huge lion’s head, attempting to bite off Li Hao’s head.

But the moment she lunged at him, Li Hao pressed down with his palm from above her head, and her chin fiercely knocked against his knees as he sat there. The bones of the lion head’s face, evidently, couldn’t withstand the hardness of Li Hao’s kneecaps; it was like smashing against stone, resulting in the sound of bones fracturing.

While her mind was buzzing in confusion, Li Hao’s palm had already swept to the back of her neck, and with a flick of his finger, Sword Qi shot out from his fingertips.

It pierced through her cervical spine at the back of her neck, severing a vertebra, decapitating her.

At that moment, a Divine Soul flew out from the lion head in a panic, attempting to escape in fear, but Li Hao blew on it, cloaking it with the power of object manipulation and explosively crushing the Divine Soul.

After doing all this, Li Hao’s gaze fell upon the two Cultivation Techniques in his hand.

Clasping them tightly, the pages of the techniques crumbled to pieces, scattering onto the ground from between his fingers.

Li Hao stood up, dusted off his bottom, and then carried his Boar Tusk Sword out of the cave.

He stood at the entrance of the cave, his Divine Soul flying out, using the mountain as a center to survey the area for dozens of miles around.

He used his Divine Soul to sweep across all the demons within a thirty-mile radius, slashing and killing them.

On the ground, he saw some wild animals not yet tainted with demon aura and dispatched them as well.

Including several ant nests behind the mountain, he waved his hand and collapsed them, even a group of small fish swimming in a nearby stream got crushed.

Meanwhile, he manipulated the soil to fill in both ends of the stream, cutting off the life of this water source.

Without a water source, wild animals would not gather here, greatly reducing the chances of survival.

After doing all this, Li Hao checked again to ensure he hadn’t missed any signs of life before stepping away and disappearing into the night.

One hour later.

Li Hao appeared in another hill basin.

This was the lair of the Six-Tusked Boar, with a minor demon wandering on the hilltop outside the basin patrolling.

Li Hao casually picked a weed and pierced its brow from ten miles away.

The patrol flag the minor demon was carrying also dropped.

Li Hao walked straight into the basin. The stench of feces and urine hit him in the face, causing him to frown slightly. He immediately held his breath and rushed in quickly.

Before long, the stench in the basin was intermixed with a heavy scent of blood.

Li Hao’s figure rushed out from the inside, swiftly leaving while covering his nose.

The place where the boar demon lived could genuinely suffocate a person…

That boar demon knew how to enjoy itself; aside from seven or eight sow demons, there were also two Leopard Demons and a Sparrow Demon in its lair, leading a rather colorful private life.

Rushing through the night, Li Hao returned to the camp.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

Li Hongzhuang sat on a small mound, holding a sword in her arms, appearing to be resting with her eyes closed.

The sound of Li Hao returning made her brows twitch slightly and she slowly opened her eyes, a hint of weariness in her gaze, which she quickly suppressed and asked, “Did you find it?”

“Hmm.”

“`

Li Hao nodded.

“There’s no danger, right?” Li Hongzhuang asked, but after glancing at Li Hao’s body, she knew it was an unnecessary question.

“Almost threw up.”

Li Hao said with lingering fear.

“?”

Li Hao smiled, “You should rest first.”

Li Hongzhuang gave him a look, asked no more, closed her eyes, and drifted back to sleep.

Li Hao returned to the campfire, where Ren Qianqian came out from the tent and said, “Young Master, you’ve returned.”

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

“Haven’t you slept?”

“Just fell asleep.”

“Then go back to sleep.”

“But you…”

“Don’t worry about me, go rest,” Li Hao waved his hand.

Ren Qianqian looked at him twice, knowing she could not be of any help, wished him goodnight, and went back into the tent.

Li Hao sat down by the campfire, looked around at the night, knowing Feng was still accompanying him in the dark, and couldn’t help but silently sigh, even more eager to become stronger quickly so that the old man could relax a bit.

“Add a meal tomorrow.”

Li Hao mumbled to himself.

“Cheeky boy, remember what you said.” A voice drifted into his ears.

Li Hao laughed when he heard it and nodded firmly.

Under the moon and stars, the sky was clear.

(vitag.Init = window.vitag.Init || []).push(function(){viAPItag.display(“vi_765923973”)})

The silhouettes of the old and the young were covered by the night, both faces revealing faint smiles.

Li Hao did not rest but began to practice the Body Refining Techniques he had just acquired, a total of five.

However, only two of them were top tier, even surpassing the Listening Rain Tower’s Thousand Jiaos Holy Body.

Probably only when Li Hao fully developed the Primordial Skill, he could compete with them.

The two techniques were the “Five Organs Primordial Body” and the “Bright Jade True Demon Skill.”

As the skills were input into the panel, both techniques were quickly raised to the highest level.

The massive memories that had flooded into his mind were now sifted through by Li Hao, he reviewed them once, then stood up in front of the extinguished campfire and began to practice.

With the movements of his body, his bones rumbled like low thunder.

His blood and flesh were stimulated to exert tremendous power through the practice of the techniques, simultaneously greedily absorbing the energy of the world, continually filling up.

Li Hao’s physical body was rapidly transforming, his skin becoming delicate, smooth, and tough.

Li He, standing in the darkness, watched Li Hao practice, his eyes filled with amazement.

Following these days, this was the first time he saw the peerlessly talented young master practice.

He had heard from people inside the residence that they never saw the young master practice, but to his surprise, the young master practiced in the middle of the night.

But, could practicing for just this bit of time every day raise him to a world-renowned level?

At that moment, Li He saw the energy between heaven and earth surge and rapidly converge towards the young man’s body.

Li He’s pupils constricted sharply, showing a look of horror.

Was this practicing or plundering?

The energy of the world gathered like a storm, funneling into Li Hao’s body and being absorbed by the Five Organs Primordial Body Skill.

Li Hao’s body was being rapidly forged and tempered, his internal organs, including his blood and flesh, and meridians, were all being refined.

Terrifying forces radiated from Li Hao’s body as his physical strength greatly increased.

Such a commotion made Li Hongzhuang, who was far away, inadvertently open her eyes slightly and look over.

With one set of the technique completed, Li Hao felt his strength increase substantially, his body’s energy became more abundant, and his flesh as tough as beast hide.

He then continued to practice a second and a third time.

With each repetition, by the ninth time, the enhancement provided by this technique gradually saturated.
