Demon’s Diary

tack without any discussion was because of this legendary Golden Spear Grass.

……

Three days later, Liu Ming appeared on the hillside halfway up the enormous mountain.
He raised his head and looked at the mountain topography which had suddenly turned precipitously perpendicular.
He couldn’t help but crease his eyebrows.

In these past few days he had incessantly been searching the lower half of the mountain for various Spirit Grasses and Spirit Medicines.
Aside from a great harvest, he had also occasionally killed a few monsters and run into disciples from other sects.

However, since both parties were wary of each other, neither had any intentions of attacking and they ultimately acted as if they hadn’t seen each other.

It was clear that these people understood very well that there most likely weren’t any weaklings left on the mountain.

If they didn’t have assurance, they naturally would not rashly issue a provocation.

There wasn’t much time remaining and Liu Ming had just reluctantly left a small ravine containing a rather large amount of Spirit Medicines before he continued to climb upward.

Since the upper half of the enormous mountain had five mountain tops, Liu Ming naturally chose the one closest to him.

However, when he walked there, he was unable to continue walking forward.
He would either have to use his hands and feet or the Soaring Sky Technique to keep moving forward.

Liu Ming was in the midst of ponderance when a miserable shriek suddenly echoed from the mountain peak.
After a whistling noise, a black object descended from the sky and seemed to be on course to smash into his body.

His heart froze over and without thinking, his body moved and he retreated a few tens of feet away.

Ultimately, a “hong” sound rang out and someone wearing Barbarian Ghost Sect apparel heavily smashed into the hillside of broken rock causing him or her to be badly mangled.

A look of astonishment spread over Liu Ming’s entire face and he hastily glanced at the sky.
He didn’t discover anything abnormal and quietly walked forward ten steps.
He meticulously examined the corpse that had its face turned at the ground a few times and used one foot to kick it over.

“Min Shou!”

Although the face had been smashed by the rocks on the ground so that blood flew everywhere, he had instantly recognized the corpse’s host and couldn’t help but be extremely shocked.

This Barbarian Ghost Sect Poisonous Spirit Faction disciple had recently spoken threatening words to him.
Right now, he had unexpectedly met a violent death and appeared in front of him.

Could it be that someone had launched a sneak attack on him up there?

Liu Ming’s heart was somewhat overwhelmed with shock, but he quickly cycled through his thoughts while simultaneously examining the corpse.

Although the corpse’s exterior was badly mutilated, it clearly wasn’t the reason for the host’s death.

His eyes flashed and suddenly fell on the skull.

On the head of the corpse, a rather large blood hole was apparent.
A plethora of fresh blood incessantly flowed out from within.

Liu Ming’s eyebrows creased; he suddenly stooped down and picked something out from the corpse.
He then put it into his palm and began examining it.

It astonishingly was a light black-colored feather.
Its texture was incomparably sturdy and its fringes were eminently thin; it unexpectedly was as sharp as a knife’s edge.

When Liu Ming finished identifying the black feather in his hands, his face couldn’t help but change.

What lay in front of him was quite troublesome; the mountain peak unexpectedly harbored a monstrous bird.

Although he didn’t know what this monstrous bird looked like, he seemed to be able to imagine its ferocious and powerful appearance as it clawed through Min Shou’s head with merely one claw strike.

Otherwise, with Min Shou’s poison techniques, he wouldn’t have fallen in this state so easily.

Monster birds were already the hardest monsters to deal with.
Even if they weren’t a match for their opponent, they only had to start flapping their wings and the opponent could only helplessly watch.

If he were to run into a monstrous bird that knew long-ranged attacks, he could only wish for good luck.

Liu Ming shook his head and instantly extinguished the thought of continuing on.
He searched through the items on Min Shou’s body and instantly turned the corpse into ashes with a fireball.

He changed directions and walked toward an adjacent mountain peak.

……

Four hours later, Liu Ming stood on a large tree and looked down from his vantage point at the nearby lively activity in the jungle.
He couldn’t help but expose a dumbstruck expression.

He saw a black-faced youth with silver wings on his back, wielding a thick, large golden stave, and fighting with an enormous ape that was dozens of feet tall, holding a large green tree.

Of the two, one had an incomparably agile figure that transformed into layers of successive stave silhouettes when he swung the golden stave in his hands while the other was wielding a large tree that was over a hundred feet long.
It only used a few simple strikes back and forth but each attack was earth-shattering and eminently ferocious; unexpectedly, it caused the opponent to continuously retreat.

One man and one ape; everywhere they went, a plethora of trees were smashed or knocked apart.
In an instant, an earthen pit within the jungle appeared with continuously changing dimensions.
This caused onlookers to feel fear and trepidation in the face of danger.

It was clear that no matter who approached a tiny bit closer, one would most likely turn into a pile of meat paste and die by the enormous tree or golden stave.

Liu Ming’s gaze faintly danced around and he found that there were many people hidden in various other spots in the jungle.

He didn’t know if they were the black-faced youth’s acquaintances that stayed in hiding, or whether, like himself, they had their own intentions.

Just at this moment, the black-faced youth seemed to burgeon and he suddenly let out a wild laugh.
He abruptly slapped an item on his stomach with one hand.
Immediately, a wave of “kacha” sounds erupted and a blood-colored armor promptly appeared on his body.
Simultaneously, over ten blood-colored bamboo needles suddenly protruded from the inside of the armor, and all of them lodged into the secret acupuncture points on the youth’s chest.
