Chapter 12: Chapter 12: Sudden Increase in Strength! (Please Favorite)

“Buzz~”

The Demon Crystal entered his stomach, immediately beginning to dissolve.

If it were an ordinary cultivator at the Dragon Vein Realm, even those at the Dragon Blood Realm or Dragon Spirit Realm, they would absorb the crystal core slowly.

But at this moment, as Su Han’s Dragon Vein Emperor Technique operated, that crystal core melted like a drop of water!

This melting released a vast amount of rich Spiritual Power, following Su Han’s guidance into various parts of his body.

“This way of cultivation is indeed faster. Merely absorbing nature’s spiritual energy is far too slow…” Su Han thought to himself.

“A group of beasts without Spiritual Wisdom indeed, aren’t they trying to hunt me down?”

Corner of Su Han’s mouth lifted in a curve, he had a reason for staying!

How could the mighty Ancient Demon Dragon Emperor be hunted down by mere First Order and Second Order Demon Beasts?

In his previous life, Su Han could annihilate millions of these Demon Beasts with just a thought!

“Whoosh!”

The dagger suddenly burst out, its powerful Penetrating Power allowing it to enter the skull of a Tusked Wild Boar, quickly retracting with a Demon Crystal.

Losing the Demon Crystal, the Tusked Wild Boar, like it had lost its heart, rapidly faded away, eventually disappearing into the masses of Demon Beasts.

“Another one.”

Su Han swallowed that Demon Crystal, quickly refining it with the Dragon Vein Emperor Technique.

“I’ve already opened thirteen meridians. To open the fourteenth, the Spiritual Power contained in this First Order Demon Crystal is still somewhat insufficient.”

Previously, Su Han had already developed eight meridians. Su Yunlie had given him three years’ worth of Spiritual Objects, and in those three days, Su Han managed to open thirteen meridians.

Glancing behind, Su Han murmured, “However, quantity can make up for quality. With so many Demon Beasts here, I’m quite excited to see how many meridians I can open today!”

Entering the Demon Beast Mountain Range on regular days, it was very rare to encounter so many Demon Beasts. This was a major reason Su Han stayed.

“Whoosh!”

“Whoosh!”

“Whoosh!”

In the bushes, a black shadow continuously moved, each time bringing back a Demon Crystal.

After retrieving the Demon Crystals, Su Han would rapidly change his location. Although the Demon Beasts were fast, the routes Su Han escaped through were never consistent, making it extremely difficult to catch him.

In the blink of an eye, ten minutes passed.

For Pang Qing, those ten minutes felt as slow as ten years.

But for Su Han, these ten minutes were thoroughly enjoyable.

“Sixteen now!”

Looking at the newly appeared streak of light on his body, the smile at the corner of Su Han’s mouth slightly lifted.

Although he had opened sixteen Dragon Veins, increasing his strength dramatically, he still only displayed eight Dragon Veins.

To him, using eight Dragon Veins was enough to deal with First Order Demon Beasts.

In that period of ten minutes, Su Han had killed at least over two hundred First Order Demon Beasts, most of them being Tusked Wild Boars, followed by One-Eyed Giant Lizards, Flame Red Horses, and so on.

He consumed more than half of the Demon Crystals, storing the rest in his bag.

“Enough for now.”

Su Han’s eyes flashed and he suddenly circled back the way he came.

“Squeak squeak!”

Seeing Su Han returning from the side, a Three-Tailed Demon Monkey in the group seemed extremely angry, perceiving Su Han’s actions as a provocation.

It suddenly broke loose, stepping on the back of a Flame Red Horse to leap up, its hands and tail deftly grabbing at branches, swiftly charging towards Su Han.

“Hmm?”

Su Han sensed something, lifted his head to look, and revealed a cold smile.

“Three-Tailed Demon Monkey? With my current strength, if hundreds of Three-Tailed Demon Monkeys were to attack, I might fear them, but just you alone…that’s not enough!”

As his words fell, the dagger in Su Han’s hand suddenly lunged forward.

“Bang!”

The Three-Tailed Demon Monkey had been watching Su Han’s dagger, having seen him use it no less than two hundred times before.

At that moment, as the dagger appeared again, a look of disdain flashed across the face of the Three-Tailed Demon Monkey, and with a sweep of its claw and a loud bang, it swatted the dagger back.

“Not bad for a Second Order Demon Beast,” Su Han remarked.

This was the first time the dagger had failed, but Su Han didn’t care at all.

“For a Second Order Demon Beast, the power of the Eight Dragon Veins is indeed too little.”

“Since the Eight Dragon Veins are too little, let’s see how you handle ten Dragon Veins!”

“Boom!”

As his words fell, Su Han’s body shook, and immediately two more streaks of light appeared!

With the appearance of these lights, Su Han’s strength surged, enhancing his speed, strength, and attack power comprehensively.

“Swoosh!”

The dagger lunged out again, but this time, it moved several times faster, producing a slight sound of wind, and its sharp, cold light made the Three-Tailed Demon Monkey’s hair stand on end, causing it to squeal in panic.

The Three-Tailed Demon Monkey didn’t attempt to block the dagger this time but dodged in between leaps, avoiding this attack.

“Scared?”

Su Han looked at the Three-Tailed Demon Monkey and shook his head, “Too bad, you can’t escape.”

As Su Han spoke, the dagger suddenly turned direction and its speed reached an extreme, appearing in front of the Three-Tailed Demon Monkey as it tried to dodge.

Seeing this, the Three-Tailed Demon Monkey quickly halted its movement, trying to escape backward.

But at that moment, a golden streak appeared in its line of sight, getting closer and closer, leaving it no time to react.

“Pffft!”

The streak passed over the head of the Three-Tailed Demon Monkey, blood spraying out, and the body of the Three-Tailed Demon Monkey fell from the tree.

“After all, it was just a demon beast, its spiritual wisdom was too poor,” Su Han remarked as he looked at the Demon Crystal in his hand.

Although the demon beast was strong, its lack of spiritual wisdom meant that if the Three-Tailed Demon Monkey had been human, it certainly wouldn’t have been killed so easily by Su Han.

“The first Second Order Demon Crystal, and moreover from one of the pinnacle among Second Order Demon Beasts, the Three-Tailed Demon Monkey. I wonder if the spiritual power within it is enough to open my seventeenth Dragon Vein?”

Without another word, Su Han swallowed the Demon Crystal.

“Boom!”

In that instant, as the Demon Crystal dissolved, a wild surge of spiritual power stormed through his body, even accelerating the operation of the Dragon Vein Emperor Technique ignited by this spiritual power.

“Hahaha, worthy of a Second Order Demon Crystal!”

Su Han laughed loudly as a vast amount of impurities were expelled from the site of his seventeenth meridian by the spiritual power.

A moment later, Su Han’s aura dramatically increased as the seventeenth meridian was finally opened!

“I wonder how Pang Qing is doing now, he couldn’t have died, could he?”

Su Han sped up, rushing back to the location they had fled from.

“Hmm?”

When he arrived there, he saw no sign of Pang Qing, only the chaos left behind from the trampling of demon beasts.

“Is he really dead?” Su Han frowned.

“Swoosh!”

Just then, a figure suddenly burst out from the bushes in the distance.

Behind him, a swarming horde of demon beasts followed.
