Chapter 47: The Iron Lion Group
Su Ming's eyebrows slightly raised, a hint of arrogance on his face: "Who are you, why block Ben Shao's way."
"Who am I? You don't even recognize me?" The man with the knife had an angry face, but secretly rejoiced in his heart, thinking to himself: It seems that I'm really lucky today, and it's indeed a young master from a large tribe who is out hunting alone.
"I don't care who you are, hurry up and get out of my way. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude." Su Ming had an arrogant expression, not putting the man with the pole in his eyes at all, a typical rich young master's demeanor.
"Little rabbit, I'm Liu Er Ye, the Three Knives of Xicheng Prefecture. Have you heard of my name?" The man with the knife stroked his big red nose and said in a very arrogant tone.
"I don't care if you're Three Knives or Four Knives, hurry up and get out of my sight. Otherwise, be careful that I'll beat your butt until it blooms." Su Ming said somewhat impatiently.
"Master, there is a congenital strongman 100 meters behind you, with the attribute of earth, third-order strength and third-order control." The little spirit reminded Su Ming after discovering the target.
"You little rabbit, how dare you humiliate your grandfather! Today, I will teach you a lesson!" Liu San Dao raised the large knife in his hand, with a fiery spiritual energy wrapped around it, and as soon as he finished speaking, he charged towards Su Ming.
Fire-attribute warriors are all hot-tempered, and they will fight at the slightest provocation. Once they start fighting, they won't stop until one side is defeated. Ordinary people usually try to avoid them if possible.
"Wait." Su Ming hastily stopped him.
"What are you waiting for, you've already angered me!" Liu San Dao's body paused, angrily saying, but just as he finished speaking and was about to continue fighting, Su Ming was no longer on the Unicorn.
"Dare to play with me." Liu San Dao was thoroughly enraged at this time, his big knife raised its head and swung down fiercely, vowing to cut Su Ming into two segments with one knife.
Su Ming originally wanted to hard connect Liu San Dao's attack, but thinking of a strong enemy behind him, he immediately changed his strategy and prepared to travel with Liu San Dao.
He flipped his body in mid-air, dodging Liu Santao's attack. With a swift motion, he thrust the Silver Snake Sword forward, and a cold glow flashed out. A thin layer of frost formed on Liu Santao's right hand, although the freezing effect only lasted for a second under the fire attribute spiritual power, it was enough to interrupt Liu Santao's attack.
Su Ming seized the opportunity, Silver Snake Sword retracted, palms formed a seal, and activated the Broken Shield Technique in an instant. A palm containing fierce spiritual power slammed into Liu San Dao's chest, directly sending him flying backward.
This palm not only came unexpectedly, but also carried with it the properties of gold and ice. Even a late-stage innate martial artist wouldn't dare to take it head-on.
Liu Santao crashed into a large tree, his body finally came to a stop, a mouthful of blood spurted out, his face turned pale in an instant, and the big knife in his hand fell to the ground.
"Grandma's, Ben Shao is indeed a genius of the Taishi tribe, but if you want to bring the Taishi tribe into Xicheng Prefecture, you little three knives dare to rob Ben Shao, it's really unbearable." Su Ming held the Silver Snake Sword, with an arrogant and domineering demeanor, walking slowly towards Liu San Dao.
At this time, the warrior's face 100 meters away from Su Ming showed a solemn expression, and he immediately turned around and left the original place. Su Ming's strength was no longer something he could handle, and he had learned a huge secret that he must return to Xicheng Prefecture to receive the reward.
"Young master, the warrior behind you has left, you can complete your task now."
"I'll see you off."
Su Ming's body moved, and he directly attacked Liu San Dao. At this time, Liu San Dao was completely unable to move, and couldn't even beg for mercy, only able to stare blankly as Su Ming's sharp sword sliced through his neck.
Su Ming was able to kill Liu San Dao so easily mainly because Liu San Dao did not understand Su Ming, and on top of that, the ice attribute's freezing effect made him vulnerable to Su Ming's attack, ultimately leading to his demise.
"Congratulations, young master, you have completed the task and reached level zero Blood Spirit Realm."
As soon as the little elf's voice fell, Su Ming felt a strange energy appear in his body, and soon he felt sticky all over and emitted a foul odor.
"Master, bear with it for now. When you upgrade your Blood Spirit Realm level, it will help you expel the impurities from your body. It'll be fine once you enter the Blood Pulse Realm."
"What? Blood Qi Realm? And isn't that going to take nine more times?" Su Ming's face was filled with a mixture of shock and disgust, as he stood in the desolate forest without even a place to wash up, his body sticky and uncomfortable.
"Master, basically it's like this, you can choose not to upgrade."
"You just provoke me, one day when I'm in a hurry, I really won't upgrade." Su Ming said with a resentful expression.
"Does that young master no longer want me?" The soft and charming voice of the little elf echoed in Su Ming's mind.
Su Ming's body tensed up instantly, and then he shouted in his heart: "Demon, save me!"
After going deep for several kilometers, Su Ming arrived at the territory of the four-stage demon beast. The demon beasts here are basically all living in groups, and ordinary innate realm warriors do not dare to venture recklessly.
"Young master, there are three groups of demonic beasts ahead that meet the task standards."
"Let's take a look." Su Ming also felt that the unicorn under him was getting a bit restless, and their forward speed was slowing down.
"At four o'clock direction, there is a lizard beast group with 36 lizards, strength at early fourth stage. The lizard king's strength is at mid-fourth stage. At six o'clock direction, there is a black bear group with 23 bears, strength at early fourth stage. The black bear king's strength is at late fourth stage. At eleven o'clock direction, there is an iron lion group with 27 lions, strength at early fourth stage. The iron lion king has just died."
"As for Iron Lion Group." Su Ming answered without hesitation.
"Young master, you actually chose the weakest one. Can I despise you?" The mischievous voice of the little spirit echoed in Su Ming's mind.
"Can't," Su Ming replied seriously, and then rode the unicorn to the Iron Lion Group. As for the Black Bear Group and the Lizard Group, he didn't plan to go hunting because the late-stage four-tiered Black Bear King and the thirty-six Lizard Beasts were enough to make one's heart tremble with fear.
As soon as they entered the Iron Lion's territory, the Unicorn fell ill again, its legs weakened and refused to move forward. Helpless, Su Ming left it in place and proceeded alone to the Iron Lion's gathering grounds.
Iron Lion is a branch abandoned by Golden Lion, they not only don't have the golden fur of Golden Lion, but also don't have the gold element of Golden Lion. The highest level can only be promoted to the early stage of the fourth order, and the highest level of Iron Lion King is only the late stage of the fourth order. Compared with the Golden Lion that can advance to the seventh level, the strength difference is too far. However, lions are the kings of the forest, and the early-stage iron lion is equivalent to the mid-term perfection of human innate. When they gather together, even the later-stage innate usually don't dare to provoke them.
Generally, those who take action against a fourth-order demon beast group are some organized warriors, with more than ten people, and the lowest is also in the middle of the Innate Realm. As for someone like Su Ming who hunts alone, there are basically none, let alone him being only at the Innate Early Stage.
