C19 A Town Smaller than a Village

To use magic, one had to have Spiritual Force and magic power. Zhang Ming had both of these powers and they were not weak.

Whether it was cultivating magic power or releasing magic, it was necessary to link the magic elements in the heaven and earth. As a Dark Giant Dragon, what Zhang Ming wanted to link up with was naturally the Dark Element in the heaven and earth.

It was night now, and the Dark Element was at its most lively time. Zhang Ming found a huge tree branch and sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and started to search for the Dark Element in the surrounding with his consciousness. Wherever Zhang Ming's consciousness covered, he could see the excited Dark Element, and with a jolt of his heart, the Dark Element slowly flowed into Zhang Ming's body, and entered inside the Crystal Nucleus.

Zhang Ming's Crystal Nucleus was no longer just purely a dark Crystal Nucleus, and there were more dark Dragon Essence inside as well.

In truth, there were many similarities between the cultivation of this magic and the cultivation of the Winged Dragon Spell, it was just that magic cultivated the black Dark Element while the Winged Dragon Spell trained the Heaven And Earth Vital Energy. This Heaven And Earth Vital Energy contained all the elements, and after the Heaven And Earth Vital Energy entered the body, it was refined by the Winged Dragon Spell into the strength of a Dragon Essence.

Zhang Ming was currently in a magical meditative state. He did not go through the refinement process of the Winged Dragon Spell, but directly entered the Crystal Nucleus, and the dark Dragon Essence's power received the Dark Element. It still maintained the essence of the sea cotton, and absorbed and fused with it, eventually becoming a part of the dark Dragon Essence's power.

Zhang Ming smiled bitterly. It seemed like meditating was of no use, as it was much slower than training in Winged Dragon Spell.

It immediately transformed into the cultivation of Winged Dragon Spell, and all the energy in the world entered his body. There were all kinds of elements in this energy, not only the black Dark Element, but when the Heaven And Earth Vital Energy was transformed into Dragon Essence and injected into the Crystal Nucleus, the Crystal Nucleus finally had a reaction, the Dragon Essence inside rolled and contained the newly arrived Heaven And Earth Vital Energy, and then began to assimilate. Very quickly, the crystal blue Dragon Essence's energy was dyed a dark black, and everything calmed down after the Dragon Essence had assimilated all of its energy.

Zhang Ming opened his eyes and surprise flashed across his face. The Crystal Nucleus's reaction just now had never happened before, could it be … That's right, in the Mortal Realm here, there are all kinds of Heaven And Earth Vital Energy, unlike Devil Realm, where 90% of the Dark Element are.

At the same time, Zhang Ming thought that if he was training in the Winged Dragon Spell in this Mortal Realm, he might have become an even weirder monster.

Fortunately, although Zhang Ming felt a little bit more pain when the energy was assimilated, it did not affect the quality or quantity. The Dragon Essence energy that he absorbed was instead more pure and pure than the last time at the Devil Realm.

Zhang Ming cultivated for a while again. When it was almost daybreak, he remembered his purpose for coming tonight. It was to test his magic.

Since he couldn't absorb the Dark Element normally, then he would replace the magic with the Dark Dragon Essence 'power. Zhang Ming recalled that it was the lowest level of Dragon language magic, the pitch-black arrow.

Quickly, the short incantation was completed. Zhang Ming immediately felt the energy inside the Crystal Nucleus being extracted, and in front of him appeared a pitch-black arrow that emitted a dark aura and Dragon Essence's power. The Spiritual Force locked onto a big tree in front of it, and the pitch-black arrow shot out.

"Boom …"

The trunk of the tree was penetrated by the pitch-black arrow, followed by an explosion. The tree toppled over.

Satisfied with the result caused by the pitch-black arrow, Zhang Ming prepared to cast a higher level spell.

At this moment, whoosh whoosh sounds came from under the fallen tree branch. A flash of vigilance appeared in Zhang Ming's eyes, followed by a "whoosh" that cleared away Zhang Ming's vigilance. He then remembered that Haff seemed to have slept on this tree last night.

He quickly ran up and held Haff's hand. Haff's new clothes were in tatters again, and there was even a trace of blood on his face.

"Zhang Ming, what happened?"

"Well, I thought I saw a shadow just now. I fired a jet black arrow when I was nervous." Although the person in front of him might not be good for him, because of Zhang Ming's human form, he became a lot more cheerful. Although the person in front of him might not be good for him, Zhang Ming became a lot more cheerful because of his human form.

"Oh, Dark Arrow. What? The Dark Arrow exploded that tree?" Haff shouted in exaggeration.

Zhang Ming nodded blankly.

"Just what rank are you? This tree needs at least two people to hug it. Since you, aren't you a Magister already? How old are you?" Haff was shocked.

"This, I don't know how strong I am, but I'm guessing I haven't reached the Magister yet. Just now, this arrow of mine exhausted all of my magic power." As a person, he had to keep a low profile, especially in a place where he was unfamiliar with other people. Zhang Ming knew this principle very well.

"So that's how it is." Haff didn't know what he was thinking about, but he looked at Zhang Ming's finger out of the blue and said, "It's already dawn. It's not too far away from Gu De Town. It looks like we'll be there by noon. Let's go."

"Alright, then let's go." With that, Zhang Ming generously took out a set of clothes from the Black Stripe Ring and gave it to Haff.

Fortunately, he was a bit more generous, he knew that Haff would definitely take action, and it was very possible that he would gather more people, especially when they arrived at the so-called Gu Town. Zhang Ming decided to be careful and escape if things did not go well, but there seemed to be a voice in his heart that wanted him to have a big fight.

The sky was gray and bright. The two of them started the journey again without any problems. It was noon when they finally got out of the forest. There were weeds in front of them and rocks on the ground.

From the sky where the path stopped, one could see curls of green smoke changing in the air. That should be the Gu Town that Haff talked about.

Sure enough, as soon as Haff walked out of the forest, he revealed a smile on his face. "Let's go, we're right in front."

The two of them walked for a while longer. The roof, the eaves … Zhang Ming slowly showed up, but when he saw the panorama, he was immediately stunned. Is this a town? Why is it so small? The houses inside the town can't be more than 100, they are all made of wood. The sparse fence surrounded the whole town, and two or three farmers were still farming.

Seemingly seeing Zhang Ming's doubt, Haff sighed, "This place was once the last remaining citizen of Gude Town in the Melch Empire. Hehe, originally, this was a large town belonging to two different families, but now there are only these one hundred people left."

Hatred flashed across Haff's face. A dark aura covered his entire face, making him look extremely eerie.

After being silent for a while, the two of them walked into the so-called Gu De town. The two or three farmers who were wary before finally relaxed after seeing Haff.

"Haff, you're back. How was it? How was the situation outside?" A man around 30 years old who was dressed like a farmer walked up, forcing out an ugly smile as he asked.

Right now, the Church has already placed a bounty, and as long as we can capture or kill a Darkman, there will be a reward. The higher the level, the richer the rewards.

"Damn it! The Church is really going to kill us all, not even giving us a single chance at survival!" Middle-aged farmer bitterly said.

"That's right, I almost couldn't return this time. Fortunately, I met this Mr. Zhang Ming, otherwise, I would probably be on the cross by now." Haff pointed at Zhang Ming and introduced, "Zhang Ming, the powerful Dark Demon Swordsman."

The farmers looked at Zhang Ming in a different light as they said, "I've heard a lot about you …"

As soon as Zhang Ming came out of the Devil Realm, he felt the admiration that spanned through space and time. Although he felt it was funny, because of the atmosphere, he performed the classic martial arts act from Earth and cupped his fists: "Not at all …"

"Alright, brothers, I still need to report to the mayor."
