Demonic Beast Core.
It was a highly nourishing item.
However, few people used this method to boost their spiritual power.
The life essence of demonic beasts was fundamentally different from that of humans. If one forcefully swallowed numerous cores, their spiritual power would soar to a new height in a short period. But the subsequent side effects were countless.
So, generally speaking, obtaining cores was strictly prohibited in the Eastern Wilderness. Those who obtained cores through evil means could only take one per month, allowing their bloodline enough time to absorb the power of the demonic beast cores.
Now, Wang Cheng had actually swallowed so many cores at once.
The power that followed was immeasurable.
Wang Cheng's body began to grow slowly. His clothes couldn't withstand the sudden growth of his body strength and started to be torn apart by his muscles.
After a moment, Wang Cheng's body stopped growing.
At this time, Zhao Shuning, standing in front of him, only reached his waist.
Wang Cheng's ears had become round and pointed.
They were just like the ears of wild beasts in the mountains.
Sharp claws had also grown on his hands. In Zhao Shuning's eyes, Wang Cheng was now a monster.
The White Tiger naturally sensed this powerful and dangerous aura.
So it leaped forward and blocked in front of Zhao Shuning.
Zhao Shuning was also on full alert at this time.
"Over the years, you've killed so many demonic beasts just to satisfy your own desires. Wang Cheng, you deserve to die."
"The strong prey on the weak. I'm just using my abilities to obtain corresponding rewards. Ye Ling, if you had allowed me to do this back then, you wouldn't have died so miserably."
Zhao Shuning suddenly retreated violently until her body hit the protective shield behind her.
"Ye Ling, you can't escape."
"Who said I'm going to escape?"
Zhao Shuning snorted.
"I came here today just to take your life. Do you think I'd escape?"
"You're talking big. Do you think you're still the Ye Ling from before? I'm no longer afraid of you now. You're still as brainless as before. You dared to break into my Wang family alone. You should be prepared to never get out."
"Never get out? I'll return this exact same line to you."
Alone?
What a joke.
Did Wang Cheng think the secret guards he sent out could still come back?
The five envoys from the Xie family in Huainan and the Inspection Department of Daliang - Qingman, Qingluan, Shen Dai, Chu Ran, and Lu Zhao - had all arrived at the Zhao family in Yanqing City.
Now, they all served the Zhao family. When Zhao Shuning was on her way back, she had already written two letters. One was sent to the Inspection Department of Daliang, and the other was sent to the Xie family in Huainan.
If nothing went wrong, the two forces should have already arrived in Yanqing City by now.
No matter how powerful Wang Cheng's secret guards were, once they were dispersed, they would surely not be able to escape the encirclement and capture of the Xie family in Huainan and the Inspection Department of Daliang.
Not to mention, there was also Shui Yunsheng of the Tianxia Gang, constantly guarding outside the Zhao family mansion.
After this incident, the Zhao family would surely completely replace the Wang family and become one of the four great families in the Eastern Wilderness.
Wang Cheng then realized something was wrong.
His eyes were full of anger.
"What did you do?"
"Just what you're thinking. So what?"
Since Zhao Shuning dared to come, she wasn't afraid of Wang Cheng. Not only was she now a seven - realm spiritual herbalist with the protection of the White Tiger, but even if she wasn't, she had the Karma Fire Red Lotus on her. As long as she could hold Wang Cheng back, the downfall of the Wang family was just a matter of time.
Wang Cheng realized he had been tricked and quickly tried to remove the protective shield.
But at this moment, Zhao Shuning sneered.
Retreating to the wall, she placed her hands on the protective shield and infused her spiritual power into its shell.
Putting her hands down, Zhao Shuning clapped.
"Wang Cheng, you can't leave."
"Then I'll make you accompany me to hell."
At this time, Wang Cheng's body was much faster than before. Zhao Shuning exerted all her strength and highly concentrated her spiritual power. But even so, she could only barely dodge Wang Cheng's attacks, and during this period, she also had the help of the White Tiger.
"White Tiger, hold him off for a moment."
Zhao Shuning quickly stood still.
Then her ten fingers constantly changed, forming new hand seals.
"Fire Fox Spell, go!"
As a sixth - rank alchemist using a second - rank skill, its power was much greater than before.
"An alchemist! You're actually an alchemist."
Wang Cheng said hatefully. While fighting with the White Tiger, he could still spare some attention to deal with Zhao Shuning's moves.
"However, even if you're an alchemist, so what? A mere Fire Fox Spell dares to show off in front of me."
Wang Cheng had thought that Zhao Shuning was able to enter the clan meeting because of her brother Zhao Huai. But he didn't expect that her own strength was so powerful.
"Do you think it's just the Fire Fox Spell?"
When the spiritual body in the shape of a fire fox was five meters away from Wang Cheng, it split into three paths. At this time, the three paths revealed their true forms.
The Fire Fox Spell was just a primer. Its purpose was to cover up Zhao Shuning's next moves.
"You should be quite familiar with these three moves."
The ten fingers that Zhao Shuning was forming hand seals with split into two. Then, the index fingers of both hands pointed downwards, and the palms faced upwards.
The powerful aura of spiritual power made the space inside the protective shield tremble.
"Starfall Concealment, go!"
This was Fei Yang's move. Zhao Shuning was actually able to copy this move of the spiritual herbalist with her spiritual power and use it.
"Demon - Exterminating Ghost Spell, go!"
This was the spell that Ye Ling had personally taught Wang Cheng back then.
"Soul - Snatching Steps, break!"
This was Nan Feng's move.
The ability of the Karma Fire Red Lotus was truly amazing. After absorbing the spiritual power of those three people, it could be completely transformed for her own use.
Fortunately, the master of the Karma Fire Red Lotus was the master. If it had fallen into the hands of someone with an evil heart, it would surely become a powerful spiritual tool that would bring disaster to the world.
It could plunder people's divine consciousness, rob people's spiritual power, and absorb people's essence.
The three moves, following the three paths of the Fire Fox Spell, attacked Wang Cheng's upper, lower, and middle paths respectively.
Wang Cheng's retreat was blocked by the White Tiger.
At this moment, Wang Cheng began to panic a little. But his body had become much stronger than before. These powerful moves could only cause skin - deep wounds to him.
"Trifling skills. You dare to show off in front of me?"
Wang Cheng casually waved his hand and forcibly endured the three moves. Sure enough, the damage these three moves brought to him was really minimal.
But before Wang Cheng could be happy, he noticed that there was a triumphant smile on the face of the girl opposite him.
"Not good!"
"Wang Cheng, take a look at these two sets of mental techniques. Are you familiar with them?"
