Chapter 392 Battle Against the Couple of Demon Bears
"Ow!!"
The Crimson Flame Demon Bear roared in pain, its massive body staggering violently. Golden demon blood gushed from its severed claws, and the residual Gengjin lightning power in the wound felt like poisonous ants drilling into its veins, bringing excruciating pain and numbness.
This is a level 5 Gengjin Thunder Talisman created by Shen Rugo using her dual spiritual roots of metal and thunder, and its destructive power far exceeds that of other runes of the same level.
"Ice Cone Talisman!"
Shen Rugo gave the demon bear no chance to breathe, and while retreating, she threw out another rune.
Enraged, the demonic bear ignored its wounds and slammed its other giant claw at the icy light!
With a crisp crack, the ice spike, capable of piercing through the protective magic weapon of a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator, shattered like glass.
The force of the attack continued unabated, landing heavily on Shen Rugo!
Before Shen Rugo could cast her protective runes, the eighteen nascent Dao Platforms in her dantian instantly shone with golden light, unleashing a terrifying burst of spiritual power that formed a protective light shield.
Even so, Shen Rugo's vision went black, as if struck by a heavy hammer, and her body crashed into the ice wall like a kite with a broken string, making a dull thud.
After all, this was a demonic bear at the late Nascent Soul stage, renowned for its attack power and immense strength.
Even a protective light shield cannot completely block an attack.
"That stinky bear, it's incredibly strong!"
Shen Rugo's body was almost embedded in the ice wall as she angrily cursed.
She was really careless this time.
Before her curses had even finished, two demonic bears roared and pounced at the same time.
"go with!"
Shen Rugo quickly climbed out of the ice wall and, with a wave of her hand, cast three more runes.
"Geng Metal Thunder Talisman!"
"Blazing Sky-Burning Talisman!"
"Thick Earth Talisman!"
These are three runes of different attributes, containing Nascent Soul level destructive power. They float in front of her in a "品" shape, only a few feet away from the two pursuing demonic bears.
"burst!"
With Shen Rugo's sharp shout, lightning suddenly flashed, flames erupted, the gravitational field was severely distorted, and three violent forces with different attributes collided and squeezed together, forming a destructive vortex in mid-air, distorting space!
The two berserk demon bears, already intimidated by Shen Rugo's rune techniques, stopped in their tracks upon seeing this scene.
"Want to hide?"
With a wave of his hand, Shen Ruge unleashed a terrifying force that surged toward the two demonic bears.
With a deafening explosion, the two demonic bears were covered in blood and had multiple injuries.
This further fueled their ferocity, and they leaped up almost simultaneously, their massive, mountain-like bodies lunging at Shen Rugo.
"That stinky bear is enraged and wants to fight me to the death!"
After all, they were two Nascent Soul stage demonic beasts, and their simultaneous display of power made even Shen Rugo's heart tremble.
"Ice Hammer Rune!"
"Ice Hammer Rune!"
"Ice Hammer Rune!"
……
"Flame Talisman!"
"Flame Talisman!"
"Flame Talisman!"
……
"Thunderstorm Talisman!"
"Thunderstorm Talisman!"
"Thunderstorm Talisman!"
……
"Geng Metal Thunder Talisman!"
"Geng Metal Thunder Talisman!"
"Geng Metal Thunder Talisman!"
……
Shen Rugo shouted as she waved her hands.
In the blink of an eye, a series of loud explosions echoed through the ice cave, sparks flew, and smoke filled the air.
These runes are all recently improved versions by Shen Rugo, and they are either level four top-grade or level five mid-grade.
Each rune possesses the attack power of a peak Golden Core cultivator or a beginner or even mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator.
Even though both of these demonic bears were at the late Nascent Soul stage, they were at a disadvantage under the attack of these runes and were forced into a passive and defensive situation.
Amidst the violent explosion, the two demonic bears were covered in blood, their bodies completely mangled, and they flew into a rage, ramming each other wildly.
"Your Highness is mighty! Your Highness is mighty!"
At some point, Zhao Cai popped up, glanced at the scene, and immediately cheered loudly.
Zhao Cai now admires Shen Rugo to the point of complete awe.
Putting aside how terrifying Shen Rugo's Qi Refining Level 18 cultivation is, just in terms of spiritual power, even a Golden Core Peak cultivator is not as powerful as her.
As for the Way of Runes, it is unprecedented and unparalleled.
With her profound spiritual power at the eighteenth level of Qi Refining, drawing these level four or even level five runes was a piece of cake for her; she could draw them with ease.
In other words, Shen Rugo currently possesses mostly runes.
When encountering enemies, there's no need to use any special abilities; just throw the runes out.
If one isn't enough, use two; if two aren't enough, use three. As long as you have enough runes, you can crush even the strongest enemy.
For example, these two late-stage Nascent Soul demonic bears in front of us would cause any cultivator, even a peak Nascent Soul cultivator, to flee in panic if they joined forces.
But Shen Rugo showed no fear whatsoever, and directly used runes to make them jump around wildly.
"Alright, Zhao Cai, stop flattering me. Can't you see there's still blood on my lips?"
Those two bastards really hurt me, slamming me into the ice wall. My back still hurts terribly!
After the cheers of Zhao Cai, they heard Shen Rugo shout angrily.
"Your Highness, are you angry?"
"Of course I'm angry!"
"What are you going to do?"
"What else can we do but kill them all? I want to eat roasted bear meat, roast them all into roasted bears!"
Shen Rugo spoke viciously, her killing intent fully revealed.
Zhao Cai looked at the two enormous, mountain-like figures and couldn't help but feel a silent sorrow for them.
In the past two days, Shen Rugo has traversed the entire central core area of the secret realm. Although she has seized countless rare and precious materials and defeated countless demonic beasts, she has only defeated and injured them, taking away their treasures, without ever killing a single one.
"This human is awful!"
"This human is too ruthless!"
Although the two demonic bears could not speak human language, they were still intimidated by Shen Rugo's ferocity.
Ten more runes rained down on them like a shower of flowers from a fairy maiden.
The two demonic bears exchanged a glance, their hearts in perfect unison. One charged fiercely at Shen Rugo, while the other pounced on the three Dao Fruits in the pool.
Their roles were clearly defined: one withstood Shen Rugo's runes, while the other took the Dao Fruit away!
"You stinking bear, how dare you steal my Dao Fruit?"
Shen Rugo instantly saw through their intentions, flew into a rage, shouted, and pointed her finger.
With a cry of a phoenix, a large, ice-blue bird suddenly appeared, its claw reaching out to grab the demonic bear that was pouncing on the Dao Fruit.
"Innate coldness?"
Transformed into an ice phoenix?
The two demonic bears shuddered, filled with anger, rage, and fear.
They had guarded the Dao Fruits for countless years, preparing them for the breakthrough to the Nascent Soul stage, yet this despicable human claimed them as hers, and did so with such self-righteousness!
Feeling the innate chill, they trembled instantly, especially the demonic bear that lunged at the Dao Fruit, whose movements slowed down immediately.
Shen Rugo felt a sense of relief.
Unexpectedly, the demonic bear suddenly roared and continued charging towards the pool, even faster than before.
"You big bear, you're asking for it!"
Shen Rugo pointed her finger, and the ice-blue phoenix swiftly pounced on the demon bear, its claws aimed straight for the bear's head.
boom!
A layer of black scales suddenly appeared on the top of the demon bear's head; this was its demon beast protective ability.
With a crack, the ice phoenix's sharp claw struck the black scales, shattering the scales and blocking the phoenix's attack.
The demon bear's body was still lunging towards the pool.
not good!
Shen Rugo cried out in her heart, "If it swallows the Dao Fruit whole, we'll be in big trouble!"
Without a second thought, a surge of tangible soul power condensed and transformed into a small arrow, shooting towards the demonic bear's mind.
Last time, Shen Rugo refined two demonic souls, greatly increasing her soul power. She also obtained the method of divine soul attack from the demon king's soul.
The simplest of these is "Soul Power Arrow," which can directly attack the soul.
Shen Rugo disdained the demonic path and did not learn those complicated methods, but instead practiced this simplest soul attack technique.
With her quick comprehension, she naturally learned it in no time.
In that moment of desperation, I used it without thinking.
Just as the demonic bear's enormous hand was about to grab the three Dao Fruits in the pool, an invisible arrow pierced through his skull and went straight into his mind.
A sharp, piercing pain shot through the soul, causing the demon bear to tremble and briefly lose consciousness, its outstretched hand frozen in mid-air.
"Good! Good! Good!"
Shen Rugo never expected that the demonic soul attack she had casually practiced would be so powerful.
Without a second thought, another soul attack was unleashed.
Instantly, the demonic bear felt a sharp pain in its head, its soul nearly collapsing. It slammed its hands against its forehead and roared madly.
But just after Shen Rugo launched her second soul attack, she felt dizzy and her soul seemed to float out of her body.
Shen Rugo was shocked!
It turns out that this kind of soul attack consumes too much soul power. With her current soul power, she can only use it once at most, and she must not use it multiple times, otherwise she will suffer a backlash.
Shen Rugo had a premonition that if she forced herself to use it again, her soul power would be completely exhausted, and she might even become an idiot.
"Ouch! Ouch!"
The other Crimson Flame Demon Bear, which had almost blocked all the rune attacks with its massive body, was now also covered in wounds and injuries.
It turned around and saw that its companions had not only failed to grab the three Dao Fruits, but were also slapping their own heads with their giant paws and roaring hoarsely. It was immediately enraged and shouted angrily to warn them.
"You stinking bear, I said this fruit is mine, and it is mine! How dare you go against me again and again?"
Without a second thought, Shen Rugo threw out several more runes and simultaneously summoned an array plate, a bewitching array plate.
In the blink of an eye, a flash of light appeared, and a mesmerizing array enveloped the demonic bear.
The demonic bear suddenly felt itself trapped in a fog, with illusions appearing one after another, and various crossroads appearing before it, no longer the original cave.
However, terrifying rune attacks came one after another, and it could only instinctively dodge and defend.
In an instant, chaos ensued, and danger lurked everywhere.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Shen Rugo had a sudden thought, and Ice Phoenix made its move again.
However, this time the Ice Phoenix did not attack the Demon Bear, but instead reached out its claws to grab the three Dao Fruits.
Regardless of anything else, we must first seize the three Dao Fruits; we absolutely cannot let these two beasts squander them!
Just as the Ice Phoenix snatched the three Dao Fruits, the demon bear, which had been severely injured by the attack on its soul, regained some clarity. Seeing that the Dao Fruits it had guarded for countless years had been taken away, it suddenly went berserk, leaped up, and opened its mouth to bite the Ice Phoenix.
How terrifying is the power of a late-stage Nascent Soul demon beast's devouring ability?
Its huge mouth is like a giant black hole, as if it wants to swallow up this space.
The three Dao Fruits paused in mid-air.
not good!
Without a second thought, Shen Rugo unleashed six ice cone talismans, her most powerful attack runes to date, condensed with innate cold energy.
In the blink of an eye, six enormous ice hammers flashing with icy blue light slashed fiercely at the demon bear's gaping maw.
The demonic bear was still delirious and had not fully recovered from its confusion. However, it was only focused on reclaiming the three Dao Fruits and ignored the six ice hammer talismans. It did not dodge or resist them at all, but only chased after the three Dao Fruits.
Just as its lips were about to touch the three Dao Fruits, six cold beams suddenly pierced into its mouth.
Even though the ice cone talisman could only severely injure the early Nascent Soul stage, it instantly cleaved open the demon bear's mouth. One of the sharp axe beams even split the demon bear's head in two, cleaving its beast core in half!
"Ow!"
A shrill scream echoed through the ice cave. Blood splattered from the demonic bear as its body shot into the air before crashing heavily to the ground. It writhed twice before falling still.
And those three Dao Fruits finally landed steadily in Shen Ruge's hands.
"This beast!"
Shen Rugo was surprised that the demonic bear didn't dodge or evade and was killed directly, so she shook her head.
To be honest, I really can't bear to kill such a powerful demon in the late Nascent Soul stage.
The demonic bear trapped in the illusion array was being fiercely attacked by runes, running and crashing wildly within the array.
But as its companion let out a mournful cry before dying, it went mad and crashed violently into a spot in the illusion array.
It actually broke out of the illusion array!
Seeing its companion with its head split open and already dead, the demonic bear's eyes turned bloodshot, and it charged towards Shen Rugo without regard for anything else.
"Your Highness, hide quickly!"
Zhao Cai was also secretly watching all of this, and his alarm bells went off immediately, so he shouted.
It's obvious that this demonic bear has gone mad!
"You stinking bear, it wasn't that I wanted to kill it, it just asked for it's going to die!"
Shen Rugo dodged to the side, yelling, and then quickly rushed out of the cave.
Having already obtained the three Dao Fruits, she no longer needed to entangle herself with this giant bear.
But the demon bear roared hysterically and chased after them.
"Oh no, this big bear has gone mad!"
Shen Rugo hurriedly stuck two more Swiftness Talismans on her legs and quickly fled towards the edge of the icy plain.
No matter how fast she ran, the demonic bear relentlessly pursued her, its massive body no slower than hers.
Moreover, every step the demonic bear took was earth-shattering, as if it would crack the earth.
Inside the ice field, it was fine, but once they broke out of the ice field, it caused a huge sensation.
Countless demonic beasts peeked out from their hiding places, watching the chase between the human and the demon.
"Is it that human thief?"
"Is that the demonic bear from the Ice Plains chasing us?"
"Could it be that this little thief went to the Ice Plains and stole the treasures of those two demonic bears—three Dao Fruits?"
……
All the powerful demons in the secret realm knew about those two demonic bears.
Although there are more than a dozen Nascent Soul level demons in the central area, apart from the two peak Nascent Soul demons guarding the sacred mountain, there are not many late-stage Nascent Soul demons, only five in total, and these two demon bears are two of them.
More importantly, these two demonic bears, one male and one female, are a pair of Daoist partners. When they join forces, even a Nascent Soul peak demon is no match for them.
All the demonic beasts hated Shen Rugo to the core, and if they weren't too weak to defeat her, they would have devoured her long ago.
Seeing this, everyone was excited, hoping that Shen Rugo would be caught up and swallowed by the demonic bear.
