C14 Kill the Demonic Beast

Let out a roar!

A thunderous tiger's roar emanated from Zhang Fann's mouth.

In a flash, he reached the cave's entrance and gently set Lee Shiyu down.

With a powerful beat of his wings, Zhang Fann launched himself onto the massive bird soaring above.

The system had hinted that this Rank Five Demon General was none other than the Blazing Flame Fire Hawk!

Taking advantage of its aerial prowess, the Blazing Flame Fire Hawk concealed itself within the clouds, plotting to slay Zhang Fann the instant he emerged from the cave.

Little did it know, Zhang Fann, forewarned by the system, had already braced himself for the encounter, ready to strike even before stepping out of the cave.

Upon witnessing Zhang Fann's winged assault, the Blazing Flame Fire Hawk was taken aback.

"A Demonic Tiger with wings?!"

"Such an extraordinary bloodline! Truly exceptional!"

After its initial shock, the Blazing Flame Fire Hawk's eyes gleamed with excitement and avarice.

A Demonic Beast consuming a superior bloodline could potentially upgrade its own. With Zhang Fann's low realm yet noble lineage, he was an ideal target.

With this thought, the Blazing Flame Fire Hawk quivered with anticipation.

It opened its beak wide and cried out.

A resounding cry burst forth, dispersing the clouds around it.

Without delay, it swooped down with its vast wings, heading straight for Zhang Fann.

The cry had barely faded when the fiery red avian burst through the mist into Zhang Fann's line of sight.

Zhang Fann looked up to see the colossal bird, its wingspan exceeding 20 meters, feathers ablaze, raising the temperature and creating sonic booms in its wake.

"Blazing Flame Fire Hawk?"

A cold, mocking smile played on Zhang Fann's lips.

Once, he might have feared this creature for his inability to fly, but now, endowed with the bloodline of the Qiongqi and a grander set of wings, he was no longer the same.

You wish to hunt me?

Keep dreaming!

Zhang Fann's gaze was filled with a ruthless thirst for the hunt – a reminder that predators, too, must always be wary of becoming the hunted.

With a powerful flap of his wings, Zhang Fann surged through the air, accelerating with fierce speed toward the Blazing Flame Fire Hawk. Simultaneously, the Lotus Purifying Demonic Fire within him began to stir, and countless milky-white flames coalesced around his wings and claws.

"Yin and Yang come forth!"

Muttering under his breath, Zhang Fann's body swelled up like an inflating balloon, his muscles bulging prominently as he shot up to a towering height of 20 meters.

The air thundered with a deafening rumble.

In a flash, Zhang Fann's tiger claws, imbued with the Lotus Purifying Demonic Fire, collided with the razor-sharp talons of the Blazing Flame Fire Hawk. The impact resonated through the sky and earth, the force undulating like a monstrous tidal wave.

Yet, the tumultuous roar quickly faded into silence, leaving no trace behind.

[Ding! Dang! Dang!]

[Congratulations to the host for slaying the Rank Five Demon General Blazing Flame Fire Hawk and earning 5,000 Experience Points.]

"Is that it?"

"Aren't you going to put up a fight?"

The body of the Blazing Flame Fire Hawk was a mangled wreck, as if it had been pummeled by ten massive trucks, not a single piece of flesh left intact. Its entire form plummeted from the sky like a kite with its string severed.

Crash!

It plummeted to the earth, carving out a deep crater upon impact.

Inside the crater lay the enormous body of the Blazing Flame Fire Hawk. Its once raging flames had been snuffed out, one claw vanished without a trace, and its wings shattered.

Gazing upon the fallen Blazing Flame Fire Hawk in the pit, Zhang Fann exhaled a long, satisfied breath.

Absolutely thrilling!

True to the Qiongqi lineage!

Zhang Fann could feel that his current strength had vastly surpassed his previous limits. By his rough estimation, he was now three times as powerful as before.

And that wasn't all.

After entering the realm of Yin and Yang Transformation, his strength had become even more formidable!

With this kind of power, he could take down ten Blazing Flame Fire Hawks with a single swipe of his claw!

Suppressing the thrill in his eyes, Zhang Fann began to gather his hard-earned spoils.

"Devour."

With Zhang Fann's low, fierce growl, the body of the Blazing Flame Fire Hawk began to dissolve into a white light, then transformed into a stream that flowed into Zhang Fann's body.

[Ding! Dang!]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a memory fragment of the Blazing Flame Fire Hawk.]

As the system's notification chimed, a shard of memory flashed into Zhang Fann's consciousness.

With his emotions surging, Zhang Fann chose to embrace the fragment. Instantly, intricate details of the Hundred Thousand Mountains unfurled in his mind.

Though he hadn't received news of his bloodline evolving, the comprehensive data on the Hundred Thousand Mountains was an unexpected delight!

Armed with this knowledge, he could discern the particulars of the Demonic Beasts within the mountains, streamlining his hunting and leveling endeavors!

Moreover.

Zhang Fann felt an inkling that, given the formidable nature of his current bloodline, to evolve further, he might need to consume Demonic Beasts from the realms of Demon Commanders and Demon Lords.

Mulling it over, a look of conviction shone in Zhang Fann's eyes.

He might be at the Demon General rank, but his true combat prowess had ascended to that of a Demon Commander.

He noted to himself.

He could amass Experience Points through slaying monsters and swiftly bolster his abilities.

To him, reaching the Demon Marshal Stage seemed effortlessly attainable.

With ample prey, his potential for growth was boundless!

Zhang Fann's eyes burned with intensity.

"Everything alright?"

Lee Shiyu, peeking from the cave, inquired with a mix of concern and curiosity.

"Yes, it's time for her to return," Zhang Fann decided, recalling the transaction he intended to make with Lee Shiyu.

The power he had gained from the Blood Orchid had significantly enhanced his strength.

With such an array of advantages, he was indifferent to the notion of time wasted in bringing Lee Shiyu back to his side.

However.

He needed to undergo another phase of development first.

Confident as he was, Zhang Fann never acted rashly. He consistently maintained the upper hand, a hallmark of a skilled hunter.

From the Blazing Flame Fire Hawk's memories, he learned of several Demon General Stage beasts nearby.

He figured that exterminating these creatures would propel him to a higher echelon of the Demon General rank.

Without further hesitation, he directed a deep, resonant growl toward Lee Shiyu.

The sudden roar caught Lee Shiyu off guard.

Subsequently, she witnessed Zhang Fann's tiger claws at work, sketching and painting on the ground.

"Follow me! Let's hunt the Demonic Beasts! I'll ensure you all make it home!" Lee Shiyu read the message, her eyes widening with realization.

Lee Shiyu read each word carefully and was immediately startled.

"A Senior Demonic Beast that can write?!"

Based on the knowledge imparted by her family, the intelligence of Demonic Beasts at the Demon General Stage was roughly on par with that of an adult human. Yet, they weren't quite as clever.

Demonic Beasts were skilled in both the literary and martial arts, but they didn't possess the same level of wit as humans.

Their abilities were either taught by others or the result of extraordinary bloodlines with ancestral memories.

Mulling this over, Lee Shiyu gazed up at Zhang Fann, noting the dragon horns on his head and the wings sprouting from his back.

Such traits were unmistakably indicative of a superior lineage.

Moreover, the progeny of Divine Beasts were hardly distinguishable from humans in terms of intellect and behavior, and could no longer be seen as mere Demonic Beasts.

Lee Shiyu concluded that Zhang Fann must be a descendant of a Divine Beast, though she wondered why he had ended up in the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

After some thought, she regarded Zhang Fann with even greater respect and quickly nodded in agreement to his requests.

As the Blazing Flame Fire Hawk recalled, Zhang Fann and Lee Shiyu embarked on a journey to the outer regions in search of prey.

Before long, they had slain and consumed a Rank Two Demon General.

Unfortunately, just as Zhang Fann had anticipated, once his bloodline had ascended to the first grade of the Profound Rank, it ceased to evolve from devouring weaker Demon Generals.
