Becoming An Immortal Begins With Marrying A Wife

Chapter 386: Female Disciple of the Martial Hall (22)

In the trial grounds, Chen An had been advancing for over a quarter of an hour.

During this time, he encountered no obstacles.

Smooth sailing all the way.

"How tall is this mountain exactly? I've been advancing at a speed almost invisible to the naked eye for over a quarter of an hour, and I still haven't reached the summit?" Chen An muttered in surprise as he sped forward.

If he knew that he was still at the foot of the mountain at this moment, he would be even more surprised.

The reason he was still at the foot of the mountain was not because he was lost or anything, but because this mountain was really too tall.

It was so tall that it seemed to pierce through the sky, leading to the unknown universe and stars.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, a sound of breaking through the air rang out!

Chen An, who was moving at high speed, saw a huge fist rushing towards him, aiming directly at his Tianmen.

In the instant before the fist was about to strike, Chen An forcefully kicked his calf, causing his body to shift in a very short period of time, narrowly avoiding the punch.

"Oh? The physical strength of you human cultivators is not bad. You were able to react and dodge my sneak attack," a burly man, as tall as a small mountain, stood in Chen An's way, looking down at him from a high vantage point.

Upon hearing the man's words "human cultivator," Chen An asked, "Are you the obstacle in the mountains—a demon?"

In this mountain forest, Chen An couldn't mobilize the spiritual energy in his body, so he couldn't see the true strength of the man in front of him.

The man's face showed displeasure. "A demon? I think smart people should call me a demon immortal!"

With that, the man leaped into the air, his massive body instantly covering the sky, like Mount Tai pressing down on Chen An.

Facing this attack, Chen An simply raised his fist and struck the man with an ordinary punch.

In the next moment!

A loud "boom" resounded!

The man was directly pierced through the chest by a punch, transforming into a giant ape-like figure that crashed heavily to the ground, rapidly losing vitality and becoming barely alive.

"Your physical body clearly didn't feel that strong, so how were you able to heavily wound me with a single punch?" The man, his face filled with pain, spat out blood and asked through gritted teeth.

Because I used Deliberate Punch, which doesn't require the consumption of spiritual energy... Chen An thought to himself.

He didn't tell the man this answer, but calmly walked up to him and with a "crack," stomped on one of the man's arms, causing him to scream in agony.

Then, in a calm voice, he said, "I want to know everything about this mountain forest. Tell me everything you know, and maybe I'll spare your life. Otherwise... I'll make you wish you were dead."

With that, he stomped on the man's other arm with a "crack," causing the man's eyeballs to bulge out, blood vessels filled with ferocity, and he screamed uncontrollably.

"Okay, okay, I'll tell you!"

The man, in pain and tears streaming down his face, repeatedly shouted.

Chen An was too ruthless.

He was scared.

In order to avoid torture, he quickly told Chen An everything he knew.

After a moment.

Chen An learned everything.

This mountain forest beneath his feet, the so-called trial grounds, was actually a prison for demons and monsters.

Or rather, it was a place of captivity.

As a major righteous force, the Hundred Spirits Sacred Land had a certain responsibility to maintain order.

Whenever demons and monsters that caused trouble appeared within their jurisdiction, disciples would be sent out in the form of sacred land missions to subdue and eliminate them.

Although it was called subduing and eliminating demons, most of the time they only subdued them without killing.

After subduing the demons and monsters, they would all be sent to this mountain forest for confinement.

When there is a need to use these demon places, they will come to this mountain forest to take them.

For example, alchemy, talisman making, and so on.

Therefore, these imprisoned demons are basically no different from the test subjects in the previous life.

"I see, as long as the demons in this mountain forest are those who have caused trouble outside, I won't have any psychological burden killing them."

Chen An looked innocently at the man on the ground and smiled.

As soon as the man heard this, his face changed dramatically.

"Wait, you said that as long as I tell you everything I know, you will let me go..."

"...Bang!"

Before the man could finish speaking, Chen An punched him in the head, instantly killing him and sending him into the unknown cycle.

After dealing with the man, he reached into the man's chest and took out a very bright red bead.

This is a demon core, and it is a celestial-grade demon core.

"So you believed what I said, how naive."

Chen An looked at the corpse on the ground and sneered softly.

Then he put away the demon core and continued to move towards the top.

But after walking a few steps, he stopped and rubbed his chin, muttering to himself.

"A celestial-grade demon core is quite valuable. If there are a lot of them, the profits might not be worse than the rewards for winning the first place."

"Well, I've changed my mind. Instead of winning the first place, hunting demons and collecting demon cores is the real deal."

"Let's go!"

With that, his way of moving forward changed to circling the mountain, killing any demons he encountered.

At the same time, in other parts of the mountain forest, many trial participants encountered demon people, those extremely wicked demons.

Whenever they encountered them, they were basically no match and were instantly killed, then transferred out of the trial area with a teleportation talisman for safety.

It's not that these trial participants are weak, but the physical strength of the demons is high, coupled with being imprisoned for too long, their hostility is very strong, both in terms of attack power and aggression, they are extremely terrifying, and they basically kill anyone they see.

Most trial participants would avoid them.

Only Chen An was different, actively chasing and killing the demons in the mountain forest.

Half an hour later.

In a certain swamp.

"Hmm? Another damn human has come to me? Kneel down and lick this king's feet, and this king might consider sparing your life."

"Bang!"

Chen An punched a giant toad that covered the sky and took its demon core.

Just then.

He sensed that a fellow disciple was entangled by a demon and couldn't escape, about hundreds of meters away.

This was the first fellow disciple he encountered since coming to the trial area.

Through the gaps in the dense branches and leaves, he saw the appearance of the fellow disciple.

It turned out to be Qu Jiaqing, a seed player from the Martial Hall.

This Qu Jiaqing not only had a beautiful appearance, but also had a very strong strength, with a cultivation level of True Immortal Ninth Layer, making her the hot favorite to win the newcomer's trial this time.

However, in the previous simulated trial, this hot favorite to win couldn't even withstand a single finger from Chen An and was directly killed by a finger, not even in the same league.

"Let's go and take a look."

Thinking this, Chen An quickly moved towards the direction where the female cultivator was.

It wasn't out of great compassion to save someone, but to hunt demons and take their demon cores.

Saving people was just a side task.

However, when he appeared in front of this female cultivator from the Martial Hall, all he got was a cold glance and a dismissive "Get lost!"
