Smiles appeared on Xingyiâs and the restâs faces when they heard Shun Longâs words, as Shun Long led them towards the city gates of the âDemon-fanged cityâ shortly afterwards.
Other than Liu Mei who would occasionally leave the âNorthern Sovereignâs cityâ to go train and increase her cultivation through her âBlood Absorption artâ, neither Xingyi, Jiang Chen, or Bai Longtian, truly had a chance to test how much their strength had increased after they had broken through, since they had all practically confined themselves within the Northern Sovereignâs estate and continued to cultivate without stop since they had left the Kingâs Palace.
Of course, the same went for Shun Long who had yet to test out his strength after he broke through to the Dao King realm.
Moments later, Shun Long led Liu Mei, and the others, as they flew past the city gates of the âDemon-fanged cityâ and headed towards the general area where they had previously met the âDemon-fanged miceâ.
In reality, it didnât matter which direction they chose, since the entire area around the city was practically infested with âDemon-fanged miceâ. Other than the city itself that the mice seemed to be avoiding for some reason, every place around the city was practically occupied by the âDemon-fanged miceâ.
Less than a minute later, Shun Longâs group suddenly stopped, as everyone could hear a familiar rumbling sound coming from the ground below them, while the earth beneath their feet had soon started to tremble.
âLittle Silver, stay back!â Shun Long suddenly said to the black panther who was standing behind him and seemed to be already prepared to fight, while Liu Mei and the others all spread out and covered a large area around Shun Long.
Of course, Shun Long wasnât worried that Xingyi and the others would have any trouble fighting against the âDemon-fanged miceâ regardless of the miceâs numbers.
After all, Jiang Chen, Xingyi, and Bai Longtian, had all reached the peak of rank 4 in the Dao King realm in the last year, and shouldnât have any trouble even if a few dozen early rank 6 âDemon-fanged miceâ attacked them simultaneously.
As for Liu Mei⊠her cultivation was actually the highest, as Liu Mei was already a peak rank 6 Dao King!
Even Shun Long was surprised when he saw how much Liu Mei had advanced while he had stayed in seclusion, but Shun Long also understood that Liu Mei had definitely gone all-out during the past few months, increasing her cultivation base without holding back in the least, and that unless she dispelled the negative effects of the âBlood Absorption artâ that were accumulating inside her, it would be impossible for her to increase her cultivation any further without suffering from the side-effects of the âBlood Absorption artâ.
Barely a few moments had passed since Shun Longâs group had arrived in the area before the ground beneath their feet finally started to crack open, as dozens of pitch-black figures shot out from each crack heading towards Shun Long and the others at an alarming speed.
Naturally, these figures belonged to the âDemon-fanged miceâ who had almost instantly sensed the humans that had entered their territory.
Staring at the hundreds of âDemon-fanged miceâ around her that seemed to be ready to tear her apart, Xingyi was the first one to make her move, as her body disappeared on the spot while her figure seemed to have become one with the shadows as well.
Shun Long only needed to throw a single glance at this scene in front of him, before he realized, that after breaking through to the Dao King realm, Xingyi had become many times stronger than before while her âVanishing Shadows unique physiqueâ had also become much more powerful as well.
It was especially so for Xingyiâs own attack and speed that seemed to have been elevated to another level.
The âDemon-fanged miceâ around her couldnât even touch her body that had already melded into the shadows, before their bodies were pierced through by the tens of shadow spikes and shadow thorns that seemed to have ambushed them from their own shadows, instantly taking their lives.
More than a dozen âDemon-fanged miceâ seemed to have been ambushed from shadow thorns and shadow spikes that had appeared from their own shadows, as their lifeless corpses collapsed on the ground shortly afterward.
At the same time, a few tens of meters away from Xingyiâs own fight, Bai Longtian didnât activate his âGolden Buddha unique physiqueâ, and instead, he unsheathed his peak 1-star white sword before a blinding white light covered his entire body.
Augmented by his âDao of Light, Bai Longtianâs current speed wasnât any inferior to Xingyiâs own when she was using her âVanishing Shadows unique physiqueâ, as his figure flashed repeatedly, leaving behind countless afterimages as he swung the white sword in his hands towards the âDemon-fanged miceâ around him.
Whether it was Bai Longtianâs speed, the sharpness of the peak 1-star sword in his hands, or the Dao of Fire inside his white sword, none of them were things that the âDemon-fanged miceâ could resist, as their figures were being cut down at an alarming rate while Bai Longtian harvested the beast cores from their bodies.
Jiang Chen merely snorted as he stared at Bai Longtian before a golden saber appeared in his hands barely a few moments later.
And yet, Jiang Chen didnât activate his âEternal Darkness unique physiqueâ either, as a pair of flaming, dark-red wings suddenly sprouted from his back before the golden saber in his hands turned into a blur, reaping the lives of the âDemon-fanged miceâ around him without the slightest hint of mercy.
After breaking through to the Dao King realm, each of Jiang Chenâs attacks that were strengthened by his âDemonic Daoâ seemed to be even stronger than they were in the past, as every slash of his terrified the âDemon-fanged miceâ around him that couldnât even approach too close to him before their bodies were cut in half.
