Chapter 71: Rank Eight Monster, Lei Jiao!

Yu's friend, right I'm Ding Ran, the English teacher for Grade Three Class One. I think we've met at a few school-wide meetings before." Ding Ran said."Ding, Teacher Ding!" Yuyu remembered and immed...Fang Yu dove into the river.

Lijiang is about sixty to seventy meters deep. Because it was morning and the sun was shining brightly, although the water was somewhat murky, visibility was still quite good.

Following the direction of the current, Fang Yu kept diving down until he reached a depth of about fifty meters.

The aura of the demon beast was getting closer and closer to Fang Yu.

Fang Yu was a little excited.

After about ten seconds, Fang Yu saw a white light appearing in the distance.

Soon, the white spot grew larger and larger... Fang Yu saw a head, with a pair of giant pupils that glinted silver!

This is...

Fang Yu felt very familiar, but couldn't remember for a while.

Not until the demonic beast was within twenty meters of Fang Yu, and revealed its body, roughly thirty meters long, covered in silver-tinged scales, did Fang Yu remember what kind of creature it was.

This is a thunder python!

Lei Jiao is an eighth-order demon beast that lives in the deep water. It has always been a very rare type of demon beast since ancient times.

"Now we're set." Fang Yu looked at Lei Jiao, his eyes full of excitement.

As a type of dragon, the Lei Jiao is naturally valuable. Its scales are incredibly hard and make excellent materials for forging weapons. Its eyes and blood can also be used in medicine with great efficacy.

At that year's cultivator auction, even a small bottle of dragon blood would cost at least ten thousand spirit stones.

While Fang Yu was observing Lei Jiao, Lei Jiao also discovered Fang Yu.

It lunged like a predator, its maw agape, and slammed its tail into Fang Yu!

Fan Yu's eyes narrowed, and he dodged to the side.

Lei Jiao is a highly aggressive monster, and as an eighth-order monster, its strength is extremely terrifying.

Its flesh is incredibly tough, with innate power over thunder. In a fit of rage, it can cause all aquatic life in the surrounding area to perish. In water, its speed is astonishingly fast, reaching up to one kilometer per second, like lightning swimming through the water.

Therefore, Fang Yu had to solve Lei Jiao with all his might and try to kill him in one strike.

Otherwise, if Lei Jiao sensed danger and chose to flee, Fang Yu would have difficulty catching up.

After all, the underwater realm is the domain of Lei Jiao.

Fang Yu dodged Lei Jiao's attack and, with a kick of his foot, charged towards it.

Lei Jiao seemed to sense Fang Yu's hostility, a white light flashed over its body, and dozens of bolts of lightning erupted from it!

"Rip!"

The entire body of water was instantly enveloped by the power of thunder!

Almost all the creatures in the water, such as fish, shrimp, and crabs, were electrocuted instantly and slowly floated to the surface of the river.

"As expected of Lei Jiao, the electric power emanating from its body must be at least over 50,000 volts" Fang Yu's body emitted a faint reddish aura, but he still felt a slight numbness in his flesh.

After unleashing its thunderous power, the Lei Jiao opened its gaping maw and charged towards Fang Yu once more.

This time, it used its fastest speed!

Fang Yu looked at the Lei Jiao charging towards him, a hint of a smile playing on his face.

He thought of a way to instantly kill this thunder python.

"Whoosh!"

In the next instant, Fang Yu was swallowed by Lei Jiao's huge mouth.

Fang Yu entered a crowded and dark place, the walls slick around him. A glob of slime was pushing him towards Lei Jiao's stomach.

Subsequently, Fang Yu smelled a pungent stench.

He knew he was about to reach Lei Jiao's stomach now.

And Lei Jiao's fatal spot is on his head.

Its inner alchemy is right there.

Fang Yu punched the wall beside him.

"Hmph!"

The wall was smashed by Fang Yu, creating a hole.

Fang Yu used both hands to tear open the hole, and then crawled into it. He was finally free from those slippery glues.

Then, he gathered a ball of true qi in his right hand and punched upward!

"Boom!"

The rapidly advancing Lei Jiao suddenly stiffened its body, opening its bloody maw in what seemed like immense pain.

Then, its body started to convulse violently, the thirty-meter long body contorting terribly.

After about thirty seconds, Lei Jiao became motionless and slowly sank to the bottom of the river.

After a while, a large hole burst open on Lei Jiao's head, and Fang Yu floated out from within, with an extra silver-glowing inner pill in his hand.

Fang Yu stood at the bottom of the river, looking at the Lei Jiao's inner pill in his hand, his eyes filled with surprise.

Le Jiao's inner elixir was different from other demonic beasts'. Not only was it scorching hot, but it also seemed to contain an extremely powerful force within.

"Could this be the source of its thunderous power"

Fang Yu looked at the Lei Jiao inner pill in his hand, his eyes narrowed slightly.

He was considering whether to swallow it whole, as he usually did.

After thinking for about five seconds, Fang Yu still shoved the Lei Jiao's inner pill into his mouth.

"After swallowing it, will I be able to master the power of thunder too" Fang Yu thought with some anticipation.

Lei Jiao's inner alchemy rapidly dissolved within Fang Yu's body, breaking down into strands of pure spiritual energy which were absorbed by Fang Yu into his dantian.

Fang Yu only felt a warm current coming from his dantian, layer by layer shackles being broken.

One layer, two layers, three layers……four layers……five layers……

Six floors!

Fang Yu continuously broke through six layers and came to the 9,848th layer of the Qi Refining Period!

Even though he broke through to the sixth layer once, there was still some disappointment in Fang Yu's eyes.

For, the power of thunder he had anticipated, did not appear on him.

After fully refining Lei Jiao's inner elixir, Fang Yu looked at the huge corpse of the Thunder Jiao in front of him, wondering how to deal with it.

Most of the precious dragon blood from Lei Jiao's body has been lost, diluted in the river water.

However, the greatest use of Jiaolong's blood is to temper one's body. For Fang Yu, its effect is negligible.

Because his physical body had already been tempered thousands upon thousands of times, it was now in a state that was nearly perfect.

As for the scales on Lei Jiao's body and those two eyeballs...

These things are temporarily useless to Fang Yu, and they are also not easy to take away because they are too eye-catching.

After some thought, Fang Yu decided to leave the corpse of the Thunder Jiao where it was. He would come back later to collect things like its scales and eyeballs if he needed them.

Since Lei Jiao's corpse is at the bottom of the river, it's unlikely to be found.

Thus, Fang Yu floated upwards.

……

On the banks of Lijiang River, an elderly man in a Tang suit is sitting quietly on a bamboo chair, fishing peacefully.

A girl with short hair stood beside him.

The girl's facial features were beautiful. A pair of sword brows added to her spirit and made her temperament different from other delicate girls.

And behind the elderly man in a Tang suit and the girl stood two attendants in plain clothes.

The two attendants looked stern and stood at attention, resembling soldiers.

"Grandpa, you've been fishing here for half an hour and haven't caught anything. There are definitely no fish here, let's go back," the girl said impatiently.

"Little Rain, the reason I brought you fishing with me is to train your endurance. In just half an hour, you're already getting impatient" The elderly man in a Tang suit smiled and looked at the girl.

"I'm not being impatient... I just think Grandpa, you're doing useless work. The river here is so calm, there aren't even many bubbles rising..." Xia Weiyu pouted and argued.

"The enjoyment of fishing is in the waiting, drizzle, you..." Old Summer shook his head and smiled.

Old Master Xia hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly heard Xia Weiyu let out a cry of surprise.

"Grandpa, look at the river!"

Master Xia turned his head to look at the river surface and found many dead fish, their bellies exposed, floating on it.

"What... what's going on"

Even the well-traveled and knowledgeable Mr. Xia was stunned at this moment.

He had lived for so many years, but this was the first time he had seen such a scene.

Old Master Xia stood up, wanting to walk forward and take a closer look.

His two attendants behind him immediately stepped forward to support him, saying, "Mr. Xia, please be careful."

"Help me retrieve the body of a fish," Grandfather Xia ordered.

One of the attendants immediately walked to the edge of the lake, wanting to haul up a dead fish.

"Splish!"

At that very moment, a large splash of water suddenly erupted on the river surface not far away!

This frightened all of Old Summer's companions, causing their faces to pale.

“Master Xia, we need to retreat, this place may be dangerous!” said the attendant beside him.

Summer Elder waved his hand, said nothing, and stared intently at the river surface.

The surface of the river had returned to calm, but it was covered in a large expanse of dead fish.

What happened in the river

Summer Elder still stared at the river surface, his expression grave.

Another two minutes passed.

"Wow!"

A head popped up by the riverbank in the distance.

Subsequently, a young man emerged from the river and climbed ashore.t!But strategy is a must!The remaining nine must band together and attack Yu in unison. They cannot allow him to find any openings, so they can defeat him one by one.Nine Wang family cultivators excha...
