Chapter 323 - 274: Golden Winged Roc and the Thirty-Six Circuits of Yun Province (Double-Length)
He knew that the rock layer on the surface of this Mountain-moving Rat was extremely hard, and this time he directly unleashed the full Force of Three Dragons within!
The already ten-thousand-pound Heavy Saber, under the support of several hundred-thousand-pound force, exploded with an overwhelming momentum, chopping heavily onto the body of the Mountain-moving Rat.
The Mountain-moving Rat didn’t even have time to react; with a thunderous sound, its body was directly cut in half, with blood gushing out wildly.
The Mountain-moving Rat went completely insane, letting out a piercing scream, turning its head frantically to bite at Song Changming.
Song Changming waved and struck with a Purple Gold Fire Innate Aura Qi, hitting the rat’s head, stunning it.
Then he drew his saber and slashed again.
Directly chopping off the rat’s head once more.
The body was cut into three segments, and the Mountain-moving Rat finally died completely.
From beginning to end, Song Changming never gave this Fierce Beast the chance to escape, and the battle ended in almost a face-to-face confrontation once he unleashed his full power.
After all, the Force of Three Dragons he possessed in his regular state was truly too astonishing; even those Innate Level Demon Race known for their strength might not compare to him!
This Mountain-moving Rat could force him to exert full strength with one slash to break its defense; its body’s skin and flesh defense was already the strongest he had encountered among the Fierce Beasts.
If he only used Innate Aura Qi, it would not have achieved the power of the recent slash!
After Song Changming’s arrival, he first rescued the people in the carriage, and then forcefully exterminated the Mountain-moving Rat. His appearance and performance stunned that group of invading Demon Race.
"Damn it, another Innate Martial Artist!"
"Being able to kill a Mountain-moving Rat, we have no chance, retreat!"
"Such an excellent opportunity wasted..."
The group of Demon Race was decisive, realizing that it was impossible to prevail, and upon the Mountain-moving Rat’s sudden death, they quickly withdrew and disappeared into the rear forest.
Chu Wantong, holding a Long Spear, was drenched in blood.
Three Demon Race corpses lay on the ground, all having reverted to their demon forms.
Song Changming glanced at them, they were Demon Beasts resembling lynxes.
With the Demon Race retreating, the officer didn’t choose to pursue but rushed to the side of the carriage, planted the spear into the ground, and half-kneeling, respectfully saluted.
"I apologize for frightening you, my lord; this subordinate deserves death!"
"General Chu fought bravely while injured, you bear no guilt."
A calm, resonant voice came from inside the carriage, and only then did Chu Wantong rise and look at Song Changming beside him.
"Thanks for your assistance just now, I am deeply grateful!"
Song Changming looked at Chu Wantong with a slight peculiarity.
Upon closer examination, this person looked more burly and fierce, his Blood Qi filled with bestiality, coupled with the robust hair stubbornly protruding through the gaps in his Armor.
Truly like a humanoid brown bear!
Yet, since he was so devotedly protecting the Human Race team, he probably wasn’t a True Bear Demon.
"No need for thanks, I was just passing by, saw those Demon Race being arrogant, and intervened." Song Changming replied.
Just then, the people in the carriage also started to come out.
From the rear carriage emerged a group of old, weak, women, and children, all looking frightened, with pale faces.
The recent experience clearly made them feel as if they had wandered around the gates of death several times.
From the front carriage stepped out a middle-aged man.
His attire was luxurious, wearing a Purple Jade Crown symbolic of his status, with three Official Pearls embedded in it.
According to the tradition of Ancient Abyss Country, those wearing such crowns were definitely high-ranking officials.
The three Official Pearls also proved that his position was not low.
These were insights Song Changming acquired from ancient texts.
"I am Meng Jianli, appointed to assume office and encountered this demon disaster. Fortunately, the young hero helped, or else I wouldn’t have survived today." Meng Jianli spoke courteously to Song Changming.
He didn’t display any official arrogance.
Just as Song Changming was about to return the courtesy with some polite words, suddenly a strong wind pressure came from the sky.
Looking up, it was that Golden winged Roc flying over chasing the Mountain-moving Rat again.
Song Changming frowned, with the Purple Gold Fire forming a Fire Lotus faintly appearing around him once more.
If that Golden winged Roc intended to attack them, he wouldn’t mind having some bird meat!
However, the people beside Meng Jianli were not so panicked upon seeing the Golden winged Roc.
A little girl from the rear carriage even pointed excitedly at the Roc above her head.
"It’s sister’s bird! Sister is here!"
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Song Changming waited for the Golden winged Roc to land, and then he noticed there was actually a pretty woman standing on the Roc’s back, dressed in a goose-yellow dress, with an outstanding posture and a transcendent aura.
After the Golden winged Roc landed, it truly folded its wings meekly, merely looking at the Mountain-moving Rat chopped into three segments on the ground.
"Father, Mother, your daughter is late." Meng Shuxuan gracefully landed from the bird’s back and couldn’t help but say.
"No worries, father is fine, thanks to this young hero’s help, we narrowly escaped disaster." Meng Jianli looked at Song Changming and said.
"I am Meng Shuxuan, a disciple of Celestial Star Pavilion, deeply grateful." Meng Shuxuan thanked Song Changming.
"Celestial Star Pavilion..." Song Changming exchanged a few polite words, but he was more interested in the sect’s influence mentioned by the lady.
With some inquiry, he learned that this sect was quite significant, being one of the lineage inheritances among the Three Thousand Spirit Mountains!
Back in the day, Nan Wuji and Su Yaoguang belonged to Spirit Sword Sect, which was also one of the sects within the Three Thousand Spirit Mountains.
In the southern border areas of Ancient Abyss Country, if one claimed high sect origin, it had to be within the Three Thousand Spirit Mountains and the Thirty Six Grotto Heavens of Nanzhou.
Anyone from these two places, regardless of their cultivation and strength, would be looked upon with respect and regarded highly!
Clearly, Meng Jianli was very pleased with his daughter joining a sect on the Three Thousand Spirit Mountains.
Out of courtesy, Song Changming did not use Spiritual Power to scan and probe the other party directly.
