Terra Su and Sean Feng found a small stream. Sean started a campfire and roasted the wolf leg they had just cut off, sprinkling some salt on it. Soon, a mouth-watering aroma filled the air.
Terra Su, meanwhile, sat cross-legged by the stream, covering himself with the blood of the Two-Headed Blood Wolf. He then activated the Chaotic Immortal Records, beginning to absorb the essence from the blood, transforming it into his own power.
In just a quarter of an hour, the thick blood had turned extremely thin, its essence completely absorbed by Terra Su.
Terra Su stood up, his bones emitting a series of crackling sounds like popping beans. His entire body became more upright, and his muscles seemed to be filled with an inexhaustible strength.
Moreover, Terra Su clearly felt his flesh becoming denser and his skin tougher. Now, if a Martial Practitioner of the same level slashed at him with a sword, it probably wouldn’t even break his skin.
The enhancement of the physique is of great significance to a Martial Practitioner. Besides increasing combat ability, it also improves resistance to sneak attacks. For instance, a Condensing Origin Realm practitioner, if conscious and with True Essence spread throughout their body, cannot be harmed by an Inducing Qi Realm practitioner. However, if the Condensing Origin Realm practitioner is unconscious, their body’s defense is not much higher than that of an Inducing Qi Realm practitioner. This means that if a Condensing Origin Realm practitioner is ambushed while asleep, they could die without even knowing what happened.
But if one can enhance their physique, this problem doesn’t exist because the defense provided by the physique is always present.
However, enhancing the physique is not easy and requires a tremendous amount of resources. For example, the Snake Blood Ginseng Terra Su used in his last Tempering Bath was quite valuable, and that was just the initial stage of physique enhancement. The rare treasures needed in the future would only increase.
Terra Su walked over to the campfire and began eating the roasted wolf leg. The meat of Monster Beasts contains Spiritual Qi, so it usually tastes good. Additionally, the leg meat was tendon meat, moderately tough and chewy, with juices that filled his mouth with a faint fragrance.
As Terra Su ate, the Chaotic Immortal Records within him continued to operate, absorbing every bit of essence from the meat without wasting a single drop.
“What a delicious smell of roasted meat!”
Suddenly, a few figures appeared not far away, evidently attracted by the aroma.
“Who dares to roast meat in the Rising Sun Mountains? Aren’t they afraid of attracting powerful Monster Beasts?”
The newcomers were three people, two men and one woman, wearing familiar clothing similar to the two Iron Armor Gate practitioners they had encountered earlier, indicating they were also from the Iron Armor Gate.
“Hmm? Kid, I don’t think I’ve seen you before. You’re not from the Iron Armor Gate, are you?”
One of the men directly asked Terra Su, who was sitting on the ground.
“Not from our Iron Armor Gate, yet able to enter the Rising Sun Mountains?”
“Hey, kid, who are you, and how did you get in?”
Another person asked in a very unfriendly tone.
Terra Su shook his head. He didn’t want to cause trouble, but these people kept looking for it, so he couldn’t be blamed.
“Who I am is none of your business. I killed the people outside to get in. If you don’t want to die, you’d better disappear from my sight right now.”
Terra Su spoke bluntly.
“Haha…”
The three people burst into laughter as if they had heard the funniest joke ever.
“Kid, you look so young. I don’t know how you got in, but what you said is ridiculous. Today, everyone from the Iron Armor Gate here is at least a Condensing Origin Realm practitioner. How could they be killed by a kid like you?”
“Daring to step into the area sealed off by the Iron Armor Gate, this kid must be tired of living. No need to waste words, let’s just take him down.”
Another person said coldly.
Sigh!
Sean Feng, listening from the side, couldn’t help but shake his head. Knowing Terra Su well, he felt these three were courting death. He prayed they would at least die decently, not end up like the previous two, in a bloody mess.
Hmm?
Sean Feng’s sigh caught the attention of the three.
Sean Feng had been sitting in the corner in black clothes, unnoticed by the three, who thought he was just an ordinary follower. Now, upon closer inspection, their expressions changed slightly.
“This guy’s cultivation level…”
Although Sean Feng had concealed his aura, the demeanor of a strong practitioner still inadvertently leaked out, making the three wary.
For a moment, the three were indecisive, wanting to act but unsure of Sean Feng’s strength, thus hesitating.
Seeing this, Terra Su waved to Sean Feng and said, “You go to the back.”
Then, Terra Su calmly said to the three, “Weren’t you going to attack me? Come on.”
Seeing Sean Feng retreat to the distance, the three immediately grew bolder, exchanged glances, and released their cultivation levels, charging at Terra Su.
These three were all at the second level of the Condensing Origin Realm, considered moderately strong in Clear River City.
Terra Su stood still, waiting until they were close before extending his palms, meeting two of them head-on.
Snap! Snap! The hilts of the knives in their hands were directly snapped by Terra Su’s incredibly hard palms.
Terra Su’s palms didn’t stop, continuing to strike the chests of the two.
Bang! Bang!
With two muffled sounds, the two’s eyes went blank, their hearts shattered by Terra Su’s palms, dying instantly.
The remaining woman became extremely terrified, trembling all over, looking at Terra Su as if she had seen a demon, filled with fear.
She couldn’t understand how her two companions, both second-level Condensing Origin Realm experts, were so easily killed by Terra Su with a single palm strike each.
“Help! I don’t want to die, don’t kill me…”
The woman screamed desperately, feeling hopeless, thinking no one would come to save her.
However, at that moment, a loud shout suddenly rang out, “Ignorant fool, daring to kill Iron Armor Gate members, courting death!”
Then, four figures swiftly emerged from the dense forest, surrounding Terra Su.
Seeing the newcomers, the woman was overjoyed, almost crying with happiness, “Elder Chen! I’m saved!”
No wonder she was so happy; the newcomers were all top experts from the Iron Armor Gate, especially Elder Chen, one of the nine great elders of the Iron Armor Gate. Terra Su would surely be no match for them.
The four newcomers glanced at the two corpses on the ground, their faces immediately showing anger.
A gray-robed elder, around fifty years old, glared at Terra Su and sternly asked, “Did you kill these two? And the two outside the mountain, were they also killed by you?”
“Elder Chen, it was him!” The woman quickly confirmed.
“Audacious scoundrel, daring to kill Iron Armor Gate members. Elder Chen, let’s kill him.”
“Indeed, knowing that the Iron Armor Gate has sealed off the Rising Sun Mountains today, yet still daring to intrude and kill, he must be tired of living.”
