Crafting an Immortal Race with Daily Hexagrams

Chapter 191: Chapter 173: Demon Transformation_5

Broken array discs, the remnants of collapsed walls... Various signs indicate that this place must have been inhabited a long time ago.

These signs reminded him of the Dragon Tamer’s Mansion.

This Black Pine Forest before him may very well be related to the Dragon Taming Clan of old.

With this in mind, Shen Wen’an continued forward.

As he reached the depths of the Black Pine Forest, several dilapidated stone houses appeared in his view.

Shen Wen’an stood behind a sturdy black pine tree, squinting slightly as he quietly observed the largest stone house in the middle.

On the collapsed stone slab in the center of the stone house lay a figure with a pig’s head and a human body, covered in dense black hair, snoring loudly on a stone slab.

Beside it was placed a giant wolf fang club emitting a faint spirit light!

A shapeshifting beast...

Shen Wen’an pondered to himself, frowning deeply.

No wonder Shen Chongming said that after the two Qi Cultivation Sixth Layer Poisonous Miasma Centipedes under the giant centipede barged in, they were almost instantly slain with barely any resistance.

The pig demon in front of him had already transformed into a human form and even knew how to use a magical artifact, proving that it was at least a demon of the Fetal Breathing Realm.

If it had other opportunities, that would be one thing, but if it truly relied on its cultivation to reach this stage, Shen Wen’an felt he might not even be its match.

After all, if this pig demon relied purely on cultivation to transform to this level, its strength must have reached at least the Late Stage of Fetal Breathing, or even Fetal Breathing Perfection.

He himself was currently only at the Early Stage of Fetal Breathing; engaging it in battle might not result in a loss, but defeating it was nearly impossible.

Shen Wen’an, while sensing the aura of the pig demon leader, contemplated whether or not to make a move.

At that moment, the pig demon leader lying on the stone slab in the stone house slightly opened its eyes.

A hint of cunning flashed in its eyes, but the snoring continued.

Clearly, it had already sensed Shen Wen’an’s presence, yet it continued to feign sleep.

”A powerful two-legged beast king...”

”Heh heh... This two-legged beast king would never suspect that I have already detected him!”

”If he dares to ambush me later, I’ll flip over and kick him flying, then turn around and grab my big treasure to smash his head into mincemeat!”

”This two-legged beast king is strong, his flesh and blood must be highly nourishing!”

The pig demon envisioned the scene of slaying Shen Wen’an, its large pig mouth slightly curling up, revealing snow-white teeth...

”Snort!”

Just as the pig demon leader was silently waiting for Shen Wen’an to attempt an ambush, a giant wild boar suddenly looked up and spotted Shen Wen’an hiding behind the black pine tree, its eyes instantly filled with ferocity as it charged over with a snort!

The commotion immediately alerted the other surrounding pig demons!

Shen Wen’an abruptly rose into the air, the green Supreme Profound Sword Qi dancing before him, and one stream of Sword Qi flew toward the charging Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer pig demon!

Puff!

The sharp Sword Qi directly pierced through the head of the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer pig demon!

Its massive body, propelled by inertia, crashed into several sturdy black pine trees, raising clouds of dust!

The other pig demons, upon seeing this, quickly surrounded Shen Wen’an.

”Tyah!”

”You brainless fools, you ruined my plan!”

At this moment, the pig demon leader could no longer keep up the pretense, and with a plump body, it sprang up from the stone slab, grabbing the wolf fang club beside it and jumping out of the stone house, standing furiously on a giant blue stone as it cursed viciously.

It had originally planned to feign sleep, waiting for Shen Wen’an to make a surprise attack so it could strike back unexpectedly and slay him directly.

Who would have thought that the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer pig demon under its command would ruin the plan.

”A talking demon...”

Shen Wen’an slowly landed, looking at the pig demon leader standing on the giant blue stone, holding a wolf fang club, with a piece of rag tied around its waist, his eyes narrowing slightly.

As the pig demon leader flew into a rage, its aura was fully revealed.

Shen Wen’an sensed it, estimating that its strength had not yet reached the Late Stage of Fetal Breathing.

This proved that the pig demon leader’s ability to transform into a human form was due to an opportunity, rather than sheer strength.

The treasure allowing a demon beast at the Middle Stage of Fetal Breathing to transform early and refine the transverse bone, enabling it to speak human words, must be extraordinary.

”Two-legged beast, this is my domain, you’ve overstepped your boundary.”

”Leave quickly, and I, the king, will not trouble you.”

The pig demon leader struck the blue stone beneath it with its wolf fang club, its eyes cunningly watching Shen Wen’an as it spoke in a deep voice.

If Shen Wen’an had ambushed it just now and been slain in return, it would have gladly relished the flesh and blood of a Fetal Breathing Realm cultivator.

But now that a direct fight was unfolding, it sensed Shen Wen’an’s aura and had no desire to fight for life with him.

There were good things in this place; it only needed to cultivate quietly here. Avoiding battles with an existence of the same realm was preferable.

Upon hearing its words, Shen Wen’an replied coldly, ”If you want me to leave, you must hand over the treasures of this place, and I will leave immediately.”

”Treasure?”

”What treasure is there in this place?”

”It’s just an abandoned spirit mine.”

The pig demon leader’s eyes darted about, repeatedly denying in quick succession.

Shen Wen’an chuckled.

”So it’s a spirit mine...”

”I want this spirit mine. If you take your kin and leave, I won’t trouble you either.”

Upon hearing this, the pig demon leader immediately burst into a howl of rage, ”Two-legged beast, don’t think that just because I don’t take action, it means I’m afraid of you!”

”If you don’t leave, I’ll smash your skull with this club later, and there will be no regrets!”

Shen Wen’an nonchalantly summoned the Dragon Soul Magical Sword from his Dantian.

”We’re destined to fight sooner or later, so why waste so much breath?”
