NOVEL NEXT Chapter 50: Rock Creatures
Two Days Later;
"Wake up, everyone, wake up!"
Ken hurriedly shouted. Despite this being Alice's job, she was too focused on her cultivation.
When she heard Ken's roar, she spoke with a displeased expression.
"What's wrong with you? I was just this close to entering Organ Transforming Stage."
Ken didn't mind her rude attitude. Despite only cultivating for two days, he had completed his Organ Transforming Stage.
It turned out that if one had an enormous amount of Qi, even the normal cultivation would be as fast as a fighter jet.
Because within just two days, his bones were forged by fiery iron Qi for a whole day.
And in just a single day, it was completed. Because of the intensity and pressure brought by the fiery iron Qi.
The next transformation was quite difficult due to the pressure, but he was able to handle it.
Since he had borne the pain of having his blood dried, bearing the pressure on his internal organs wasn't that big of a deal.
That's why he was able to complete the Organ Transforming Stage in one day.
Within two days, he reached the peak of the Body Tempering Realm.
Elaine managed to complete the Body Tempering Stage and stepped into the first stage of the Qi Condensation Realm.
Julia went even further and reached the third stage of the Qi Condensation Realm.
Their improvement was so fast that Ken couldn't help but feel extremely bad for Alice.
She had a similar opportunity, but because of her lack of technique, she was restricted from making such progress.
When he shouted, Elaine and Julia opened their eyes. They also heard Alice's words and frowned.
Because Alice was being too ungrateful towards Ken. After all, Ken saved her life.
But when they noticed her cultivation, their displeasure towards her disappeared.
Especially for Julia, who was close to Alice.
Seeing her pitiful progress, she couldn't help but think of helping her. But changing the cultivation technique couldn't be done in haste.
Besides, her technique was related to her family. She couldn't just hand it to an outsider like Alice.
"Look, we don't have time for this. You will stay behind us and keep an eye on them. If they surround us, immediately tell us about their positions, okay?"
Ken instructed her before turning towards the army of rocky creatures coming towards them.
Some of them were two meters tall, while others were five meters tall.
Not only that, almost every single one of them boasts the power over Rank One Monster.
"This is not good. Their strength is above us. How are we gonna face them?" Julia panicked when she noticed them.
Despite having the highest cultivation, she wasn't a fighter.
She did train early to become a better cultivator, but that didn't mean she was an experienced fighter.
On the other hand, Elaine turned towards Ken, waiting for his orders without any thoughts of her own.
"Julia, you will stand behind Elaine and me. We will be fighting these creatures. Give us support when we need it and protect Alice."
Ken ordered her before walking in front of her. Elaine quickly went next to him and prepared herself.
"What kind of creatures are these?" Elaine turned towards him and asked.
"Do I look like an encyclopedia to you?" Ken rolled his eyes and continued.
"Whatever they are, they seemed to be coming for me."
Hearing that, Alice rolled her eyes and said.
"But if they get you, we will all die. No matter what, you must protect yourself."
She understood the importance of Ken. Without his Qi, she would turn into ash in just a few seconds.
Not even the Sect Leader, Supreme Elder, and Great Elder were able to bear the temperature of this place.
"Look out!"
Julia roared.
Ken instantly turned his head to the front, seeing a massive stream of yellow fire coming his way.
"Let's eat this!"
[Dragon Flame]
Ken roared, releasing red-hot flame from his fist as he punched forward.
[Fire Punch]
The fire took the form of a massive fist as it dashed towards the stream of yellow fire coming his way.
The red fist managed to consume the yellow flame as it dashed towards the rock creature.
Boom!
When the fist struck the rock creature, it exploded. Creating an explosion ten meters wide, consuming almost every single rock creature in that area.
But when the flame died down, Ken saw that except for a charred exterior, his Dragon Flame didn't do much damage.
[Fire Punch]
Elaine also shot out another fire punch towards the other direction. But her fire punch wasn't as strong as Ken's.
It barely managed to destroy the upcoming stream of yellow fire and didn't even cause any damage to the rock creature.
One of the rock creatures suddenly jumped forward and smashed its fists towards Elaine, like a gorilla.
"Watch out!"
Julia screamed before lunging forward with her fastest speed. She gathered a large amount of Qi on her fist and punched against the rock creature's fists.
Bang! Crack!
"Argh!"
Julia screamed in pain as she found some of her bones in her fingers being broken.
"Julia, DUCK!"
Alice shouted from behind. At this moment, she had a large blade made out of green wind in between her palms.
When this reached the size of a two-meter-tall blade, she threw it straight towards the rock creature.
Julia managed to hear her friend in time and ducked.
The next moment, that wind blade managed to cleave right through the middle, splitting the rock creature in half.
"Hell yeah!"
Alice jumped in excitement, completely forgetting her previous resentment.
Thud!
The rock creature fell on the ground.
"Julia, how are you? Eat this!"
Elaine immediately rushed towards Julia in panic and took out the healing pill. It was only a two-star healing pill, but it was enough for her injuries.
She took it without any hesitation, and a new energy flowed through her veins.
She used her spiritual sense to control this energy and bring it to her fists.
This helped her heal those broken bones much faster.
She turned towards Elaine and said.
"They are too hard. Even with my cultivation, I can't damage them. Only Alice's Wind Element seems to work here."
Alice rubbed the back of her head and embarrassedly said.
"But my cultivation can only form five of those blades before I run out of Qi. This is quite a powerful martial art."
At this moment, Ken, who was busy fighting those rock creatures, noticed something.
"Girls, look out!"
Three girls were startled when they turned towards him. At this moment, they saw him looking at the corpse of the previous rock monster.
Instead of dying, this rock monster was reconnecting itself.
"Oh no, no, no, this can't be happening. These are Rank Two Monsters. We can't even deal with them with our strength."
"How are we supposed to win if they can resurrect with such ease?"
At this moment, Ken focused his Qi into his fist that was covered with Dragon scale. He punched forward.
His fist pierced through the chest too the rock creature, but there were several fist marks around its body.
Just as he destroyed the body, an idea came to his mind.
'If they are resurrecting themselves, it must be due to the environment of this place. Since they were born out of this place, they must have a certain connection with it.'
'But what if I cut off that connection?'
He took a deep breath, and a blue Qi emerged from his Dantian to his mouth.
[Ice Breath]
The next moment, he opened his mouth and released a chilling, icy wave of Qi towards the rock creature.
Before it could resurrect, its body was frozen on the spot.
"Ice! You can freeze them so that they can't reconnect themselves. This is a brilliant idea."
Alice's eyes lit up when she saw his deal with the rock creature as soon as he found out about their resurrection ability.
[Blood Demon Energy]
Ken instantly activated the Blood Demon Energy from those Blood Demon Prison Cells, just to boost his strength.
He looked at three rock creatures in front of him and clenched his fist. His Qi started flaring his fist as he punched forward with all of his strength.
[Rock Shattering Fist]
His punch literally shattered the rocks.
Bang!
The punch released such a shockwave from the first rock creature that the shock alone destroyed the other two creatures.
But while he was using his ice powers to seal them, the other two managed to recover almost instantaneously, while the one who took the hit didn't.
[Ice Breath]
Despite that, he still froze that rock creature and jumped back.
"I've discovered something. I need some time to reach the Qi Condensation Realm. Keep them distracted until I finish my cultivation."
Hearing his words, Alice immediately flared.
"What the hell? Do you think we can protect you from these monsters?"
On the other hand, Elaine nodded her head and said.
"Just focus on your cultivation and leave the rest to us!"
