About a thousand kilometers away from the place Ye Xiao was, two brothers entered the Demon Mountain. These two brothers were the sons of the Cao Family's patriarch, Cao Xi and Cao He. They came from another Holy Land called the Extreme Frost Holy Land.
Just like the Nine Sun Holy Land, the Extreme Frost Holy Land was founded by the ancestor of the Cao Family who has the Extreme Frost Divine Physique.
These two brothers were given a mission to kill ten Horned Bulls. Horned Bulls are Level 4 demonic beasts, equivalent to Martial King Realm martial artists.
After entering the Demon Mountain, they quickly killed eight Horned Bulls and obtained their cores. These cores were proof that they had killed the Horned Bulls. As the two of them continued to walk deeper into the forest, a deafening roar suddenly came from the forest.
The roar shocked the younger brother, Cao He. He leaned against the tree trunk, but Cao Xi didn't panic. He could tell that this was a beast's cry.
"This roar should be the sound of the Purple-Stripes Aardwolf. Be careful, there might be other people here."
There were many demonic beasts on the Demon Mountain. The strength of the demonic beasts is in no doubt stronger than a martial artist of the same cultivation base.
And the Purple-Stripes Aardwolf that Cao Xi had mentioned was one of the most powerful Level 5 demonic beasts. It was definitely not something Martial King Stage martial artists like them could handle.
Sure enough, as Cao Xi suspected, a few figures ran out. They were shouting loudly and their armor had been damaged.
The leader of these few people was a young man they were familiar with, Yang Guang. At this moment, Yang Guang completely did not care how he looked at the others, as snot and tears flowed out.
"It's not good, there's a Purple-Stripes Aardwolf in front. But luckily, it's one that hasn't reached adulthood yet. Do you want to follow us to finish it off? We have more people, we can definitely finish it off!"
As Yang Guang looked at Cao Xi and Cao He, he thought to himself that having more people meant more strength. So he offered Cao Brothers an invitation.
Before Cao Xi could reply, a small Purple-Stripes Aardwolf entered his line of sight that closely followed behind Yang Guang's team. The Purple-Stripes Aardwolf had many wounds on its body. It was obvious that these people had fought with this Purple-Stripes Aardwolf before.
Fortunately, it was still young. But even though it was young, it was still at the level of peak Level 4 Demonic Beasts. Cao Xi immediately understood that it is not going to be easy to get rid of this Purple-Stripes Aardwolf even though it is injured.
Cao He might be tall and strong, but he had always been timider than Cao Xi.
"Brother, this is a Level 4 demonic beast that is equal to a Peak Martial King Realm. It might be even stronger. Not to mention, it is still young. Its parents should still be out there someone. They must be coming for their child. Why don't we leave this place quickly?"
Although Cao Xi knew this point, he did not have the intention to leave. He raised the wooden sword in his hand and said, "This demonic beast is already injured. Now that we have more people, we might be able to fight it out. Furthermore, this demonic beast is a Purple-Stripes Aardwolf. If we can finish off the demonic beast, we will obtain its blood essence. Using the blood essence of Purple-Stripes Aardwolf to break through to the next level in our cultivation will be a lot easier. After all, it is said that the Purple-Stripes Aardwolf has a Martial God Stage Beast's bloodline in its body!"
Saying this, Cao Xi used a special martial arts skill that only he had to learn in the Cao Family's younger generation. A ball of white light instantly appeared as a thorn as thick as a hand pole emerged from the ground and wrapped around the Purple-Stripes Aardwolf.
The Purple-Stripes Aardwolf didn't dare to move, or the thorns would pierce its body.
Even though this would not last long, it was enough for Yang Guang and the others to catch their breath.
Before entering the Demon Mountain, Yang Guang's armor was still perfectly intact. Now, it was badly damaged and his neck and arms were covered in blood.
The others were not much better. They had more wounds on their bodies.
"We've lost too much blood. Hurry up and take out the pills we have brought before with us. Then we can get rid of this Purple-Stripes Aardwolf!"
As Yang Guang spoke, he found the medicinal pills on his body and swallowed them. The others also swallowed a few pills with him.
Although the pills could be said to be effective, the time it took for them to take effect was extremely slow. At least for the next ten minutes, Yang Guang would not be able to fight.
"This is bad, the Purple-Stripes Aardwolf is about to struggle free. Cao He, quickly attacks and find an opportunity to get rid of it." Cao Xi used vine thorns to confine the Purple-Stripes Aardwolf for a while, however, as long as the Purple-Stripes Aardwolf doesn't move, the injury it'll receive won't be high.
Cao He held a long sword in his hand. This long sword looked very heavy, but it was most suitable for him.
"Boundless Mountain Sword!"
Cao He stepped forward and swing the sword at the Purple-Stripes Aardwolf.
It was also the time when Cao Xi also moved and slashed out with his sword. Ice elemental energy drifted over his sword before spreading out.
"You... You actually want to use Ice Sword Slash. With your current strength, it's impossible for you to use this martial arts skill!"
Ice Sword Slash was an extremely powerful martial arts skill and has a strict requirement. To deal with the Purple-Stripes Aardwolf, using this skill was the best choice. However, with Cao Xi's current strength, he couldn't use it at all.
If this attack failed, then Cao Xi would have no strength left. If the Purple-Stripes Aardwolf broke free then, none of them would be able to leave.
"Damn! I didn't bring any pills to increase my strength for a short time. Otherwise, this Purple-Stripes Aardwolf would be killed a long time ago!"
Yang Guang felt extremely vexed.
At this time, the Purple-Stripes Aardwolf suddenly raised its neck and let out a howl. Instantly, Cao Xi's vine trembled and shattered!
The Purple-Stripes Aardwolf regained its freedom and pounced on Cao He who had just used the Boundless Mountain Sword to attack him.
The Boundless Mountain Sword attack landed on the demonic beast's body and injured it slightly, but this injury was not deep. On the other hand, the Purple-Stripes Aardwolf ignored Cao He's attack and placed its claws on Cao He's body.
Although Cao He was also a Martial King Stage cultivator, his opponent was a demonic beast. Although this demonic beast was still young, its size was already twice that of a human, so after the claw struck down, Cao He was sent flying and smashed into the ground.
"Ahhh!"
Yang Guang saw Cao He being sent flying and jumped up in shock. The other four people who came with him got ready to escape.
At this moment, Cao Xi finally slashed out with his attack.
"Ice Sword Slash."
In an instant, many ice swords formed in the air and shot toward the Purple-Stripes Aardwolf.
This attack was extremely powerful. The Purple-Stripes Aardwolf was pierced by many Ice Swords and started freezing. He soon became like a block of ice, completely frozen. Cao He seized this opportunity and used his huge longsword to cut away the Purple-Stripes Aardwolf's head.
Then the two brothers heaved a sigh of relief, looked at each other, and smiled. Cao Xi stepped forward and took out the Blood Essence from the Purple-Stripes Aardwolf's dead body.
Yang Guang and the rest were stunned by the sudden turn of events and forgot to even breathe.
At this moment, the Cao Brothers, who had collected the blood essence of the Purple-Stripes Aardwolf, came before Yang Guang and the others, and said, "Thank you for giving us this opportunity just now, Young Master Ge. We'll take the Blood Essence of this beast. As for the Purple-Stripes Aardwolf's corpse and demonic core, we'll leave them to you."
Only after hearing this did Yang Guang come back to his senses. For a moment, he couldn't believe what he had just witnessed.
This Cao Xi was actually able to use the Ice Sword Slash.
Isn't it said that the requirement to use the Ice Sword Slash is to become a Martial Emperor Stage martial artist at the very least.
Is there something special about Cao Xi?
He frowned and decided to talk to his father about Cao Xi.
As for the Blood Essence in Cao Brother's hands, he did not dare to ask. It is because he knew since Cao Brothers are here, a powerful expert from the Cao Family must have followed them secretly.
