Chapter 158: Chapter 136: Slaughtering Silver Chapter 158: Chapter 136: Slaughtering Silver “By the way, Su Yuan, what brings you to the Transversal Mountain Range?” Huang Xiang asked.
“I am heading to the depths of Moyang Peak to find a certain material.”
Huang Xiang was a bit surprised.
“Moyang Peak?
I just came from there a few days ago.
What are you looking for?”
“You’ve been there?” Su Yuan’s eyes lit up.
“I am searching for the Flare Silver Branch, a third-level material.”
As he spoke, Su Yuan took out Situ Qingyin’s notes and showed them to Huang Xiang.
After looking it over, Huang Xiang scratched his head awkwardly.
“I’m sorry, there are many Silver Star Beasts at the base of Moyang Peak, so I didn’t dare to go near.
I’m not sure if it has what you are looking for…
Wait!”
Huang Xiang suddenly thought of something and recalled, “When I was near Moyang Peak, I saw a beam of sunlight falling on a certain part of the mountain.
It was quite special.”
“A beam of sunlight…” Su Yuan suddenly thought of something and quickly opened the notes to check the annotations left by Situ Qingyin.
“In rare cases, the Flare Silver Branch can activate all flares to fully draw and absorb sunlight, possibly creating an aurora-like visual effect.”
“You happened to see the Flare Silver Branch drawing sunlight!” Su Yuan’s eyes revealed a trace of joy.
“Seems like there’s a high chance it’s there.
Thanks, Huang Xiang.
This information is very important to me!”
Huang Xiang chuckled.
“No need to thank me.
You just saved me!”
Although he said this, Huang Xiang’s face was full of smiles, clearly pleased that he could be of help.
After a brief pause, Huang Xiang reminded, “Su Yuan, there are quite a few Silver Star Beasts around Moyang Peak…”
“Silver-level beasts are manageable.
Have you seen any Gold-level Star Beasts?”
Huang Xiang shook his head.
“No, at least not at the base of the mountain.
As for the peak, I have no idea.”
“It’s best if there aren’t any.
If there are Gold-level Star Beasts at Moyang Peak, we’ll have to play it by ear…” Su Yuan looked at Huang Xiang and then asked, “What are your plans from here?
Will you continue cultivating around here, or will you return to the academy?
You’re in pretty bad shape right now.
I’ll stay here and protect you until you recover a bit, then I’ll proceed further in.”
Huang Xiang waved his hand and smiled.
“No need, I recover quite quickly…
By the way, why don’t I accompany you to Moyang Peak?
It’s a big place.
I remember the spot from last time.
I can guide you.”
Su Yuan pondered for a moment.
His teacher had mentioned that the mountain had a Fire Miasma that required constant use of Star Power to fend off.
If he went alone and didn’t find the spot immediately, he would have to climb up and down repeatedly, which would take a lot of time.
With Huang Xiang pointing out the location, it would be much easier, and bringing another person along wouldn’t be a problem.
Su Yuan smiled.
“Alright, thank you!”
Huang Xiang laughed heartily.
“No need to mention it.
Anyway, I’m also cultivating, and with you around, I’m sure to benefit!”
Su Yuan smiled but didn’t say more.
“In that case, rest for a bit, and then let’s set off.”
“Alright!”
Three days later, Su Yuan and Huang Xiang emerged from a dense forest, seeing the scenery change drastically.
“Is that Moyang Peak?” Su Yuan looked up at the large mountain ahead.
In front of them was a vast open plain, but a solitary peak stood prominently ahead.
Ɲονǥ0.сᴑ
A thin layer of red miasma enveloped the mountain, giving it a peculiar look.
“Indeed.
Last time, I saw a beam of sunlight falling here, on a slope near the top on the right.”
As he spoke, Huang Xiang pointed with his hand.
Su Yuan noted the direction Huang Xiang indicated and nodded.
“Got it.
You can head back now.”
Huang Xiang shook his head.
“It’s still quite far.
Even if I point it out from here, finding it yourself will be tough.
I’ll go up the mountain with you and guide you to the exact spot.”
After some thought, Su Yuan agreed.
“Alright!”
If Huang Xiang wasn’t capable of self-defense, Su Yuan wouldn’t have agreed.
An oversight could lead to Huang Xiang getting injured or worse.
However, the battle yesterday gave Su Yuan a better understanding of Huang Xiang’s strength.
Yesterday, they encountered several predatory Silver-level Sonic Wind Foxes on their way.
To Su Yuan’s surprise, Huang Xiang volunteered to take on one of the early Silver-level Wind Foxes.
The Sonic Wind Fox was an Elite Grade Star Beast, extremely fast with attacks having a tearing effect.
Initially, Huang Xiang was covered in wounds and at an absolute disadvantage.
But as time passed, Huang Xiang’s speed and Star Power strength kept increasing until he nearly reached the limit of the Bronze High Stage!
Although he still wasn’t as fast as the Sonic Wind Fox, he was close enough.
In the end, Huang Xiang used a Perfect Level fist technique to directly defeat the early Silver-level Sonic Wind Fox!
Even Su Yuan was surprised by Huang Xiang’s performance and began to see him in a new light.
If it were someone like Xiang Dingqian who defeated a Silver Early Stage Star Beast, Su Yuan wouldn’t be surprised.
They were top geniuses at the Demon Capital Academy, excelling in Soul Card, skills, and combat.
But Huang Xiang was different.
Although also a genius at the Demon Capital Academy, the difference between the top ten, top thirty, and top hundred was considerable, not to mention Huang Xiang, who ranked 2022 at admission!
Compared to talents like Xiang Dingqian and Xia Yue, Huang Xiang seemed quite ordinary.
He didn’t even possess a single Blue Grade skill.
However, Su Yuan discovered that in these few days, Huang Xiang had mastered three Perfect Skills, and most of his other skills were at the Great Success Level!
The speed at which he cultivated his skills was far beyond average!
Of course, Su Yuan was astonished, but Huang Xiang was even more shocked.
Su Yuan could defeat Silver Elite Star Beasts in just a few rounds.
The Bronze-level Star Beasts were like toys to him.
If Su Yuan’s Star Power fluctuation wasn’t at Bronze Middle Stage, Huang Xiang would have thought he had already reached the Silver Stage!
An hour later, Su Yuan and Huang Xiang reached the base of Moyang Peak, hiding behind a large tree.
Huang Xiang looked at the formidable Star Beasts on the path ahead, his heart inadvertently tightening.
“Single-Horned Fire Rhinoceros, Furious Blood Lion, Fiery Flame Fire Fox, Pan Yan Giant Beast… Four Silver Elite Star Beasts!”
Huang Xiang swallowed nervously.
If not for Su Yuan by his side, he would’ve run without saying a word!
Each of these Star Beasts stayed in their own spot, quietly absorbing the Star Power with a trace of Fire Miasma from Moyang Peak.
Su Yuan took a quick look, then drew his Dragon Armor Saber and said to Huang Xiang, “Wait for me.”
“I’ll come with you…”
Before Huang Xiang could finish, a silver flash surged ahead, and Su Yuan vanished from sight.
Ahead, the Fiery Flame Fire Fox was lying atop a large stone, comfortably absorbing the Fire Miasma Star Power with half-closed eyes.
Suddenly, with a faint spatial ripple, Su Yuan appeared behind it.
The Fiery Flame Fire Fox sensed something, opened its eyes, and looked to the side.
But Su Yuan’s Dragon Armor Saber, glowing with dark light, already slashed down!
The Fiery Flame Fire Fox never expected someone to appear suddenly.
It had no time to react as Su Yuan’s blade took off its head in one swift motion!
The Silver-level Fiery Flame Fire Fox was killed instantly!
Huang Xiang, stepping out from behind the tree, was stunned at the sight and swallowed nervously.
“Incredible, even an early Silver-level Fiery Flame Fire Fox was killed in one hit!”
Huang Xiang had to struggle to defeat an early Silver Star Beast, but Su Yuan killed it effortlessly.
Such a vast difference made Huang Xiang’s previously inflated pride from his recent progress fade away.
With the Fiery Flame Fire Fox’s death, the nearby Single-Horned Fire Rhinoceros, Furious Blood Lion, and Pan Yan Giant Beast immediately stopped absorbing the Fire Miasma and lunged at Su Yuan.
“Su Yuan, be careful!”
Huang Xiang shouted as he saw the three Silver Star Beasts surrounding Su Yuan and rushed forward.
Su Yuan, however, remained calm.
He held his saber horizontally as a bright yellow flame enveloped his body, covering him from head to toe in an instant.
Great Sun Burning Body·Yellow Flame!
“I’ve never used the Great Sun Burning Body Technique in combat.
Let’s test it on you.”
Su Yuan chuckled as he looked at the approaching Silver Star Beasts.
In a flash of silver light, he disappeared.
Suddenly losing their target, the Star Beasts paused, bewildered.
They looked at each other before quickly searching around.
In the high air, Su Yuan raised his Dragon Armor Saber, glowing with dark light, and slashed down.
With a spatial ripple, the deep black Boundary Breaking Line sliced through the Single-Horned Fire Rhinoceros, Pan Yan Giant Beast, and Furious Blood Lion!
The Star Beasts, feeling the ominous power in the black line cutting through them, were shocked.
They couldn’t use any defense skill in time and could only dodge slightly and burst their Star Power in resistance.
But the Single-Horned Fire Rhinoceros, Pan Yan Giant Beast, and Furious Blood Lion weren’t fast.
As they barely moved, the Boundary Breaking Line’s destructive force burst forth!
The line easily shredded the Star Beasts’ defenses.
Their bodies froze, eyes widening in anger and terror as they looked at Su Yuan, enshrouded in yellow flame.
The next moment, blood sprayed from their bodies.
In Huang Xiang’s astonished gaze, the three Silver Star Beasts’ upper halves slid off and hit the ground with a thud…
