Kang Shin-mu didn't know much about Jiang Fengqing, but Jiang Yuening knew a lot about her.
Jiang Fengqing's father and Jiang Yuening's father were good friends when they were young, but they didn't keep in touch much after that, which led to Jiang Yuening's rivalry with Jiang Fengqing.
Of course, these were not things that Kang Shin-mu should care about now.
The two of them walked out of the village together. After passing through a desert, they soon saw a stone forest in front of them. Countless strange-shaped stone pillars rose to the sky, standing on the desert.
From afar, the two of them felt that there seemed to be some Devil Qi spreading in the stone forest.
Along the way, they also saw many scattered demonic beasts, which were ordinary demonic beasts that had been eroded by the Devil Qi. They had not reached the level of Earth Demon, so they were easily dealt with by the two of them. They didn't even need to transform into dragons.
The other three separated from the two of them when they left the village, and they didn't know where they were now.
Anyway, Kang Shin-mu and Jiang Yuening didn't want to walk with the three, so they didn't pay attention to them.
The two of them quickly approached the stone forest.
Soon, at the edge of the stone forest, they encountered the first demonic beast that had been eroded by the Devil Qi. It was an Earth Lion, which should have had an earthy yellow body, but now it had been eroded by the Devil Qi into a pure black color.
And the Devil Qi that was constantly emitting from the body of the Earth Lion made Kang Shin-mu and Jiang Yuening clearly know that this guy had lost its original consciousness, and was being controlled by the Devil Qi.
They didn't know where the Devil Qi came from, but it could be seen that after being eroded by the Devil Qi, the demonic beasts would have an instinct to attack other creatures.
Because of this, there were so many demonic beasts attacking the village, causing more than half of the villagers to be killed or injured.
"Kill it as soon as possible."
Kang Shin-mu and Jiang Yuening looked at each other. The two of them had worked together for a long time, and they already had a great tacit understanding with each other.
Just by looking at each other, they knew what each other wanted to do.
Kang Shin-mu immediately rushed towards the Demonized Earth Lion Beast. Although he was in human form, he used the Sky Splitting Dragon Shadow Dragon Martial Skill to increase his speed by a lot.
If they were to use the Dragon Martial Skill in their human form, the effect would be greatly weakened, but now that they were facing a mere 2nd layer Earth Demon Level Demonized Earth Lion, the two of them really did not need to transform into dragons.
One must know that both of them had broken through to the second layer of the Dragon Ascension Realm.
Originally, his strength was much stronger than before.
4000
He had improved a lot in the forest, not to mention that the two of them were working together to fight one.
Kang Shin-mu rushed forward and fought with the Demonized Earth Lion. The Demonized Earth Lion roared continuously. The Devil Qi on its body dispersed and condensed on its sharp claws. It kept waving its claws at Kang Shin-mu.
Every time it landed on Kang Shin-mu's body, it caused a deep wound.
However, Kang Shin-mu's hands tightly gripped the other party's head, and he condensed a Roaring Sky Dragon Claw, which left a deep, bloody gash on the other party's back. Next, his devouring power entered the other party's body, continuously devouring the other party's energy.
Including the Devil Qi that could corrode the devils.
After devouring the Devil Qi into his body, Kang Shin-mu felt a strange feeling. The power of this Devil Qi seemed to have a kind of magic that could make one's mind go crazy. Even after Kang Shin-mu devoured the Devil Qi, he felt a desire to kill rising from the bottom of his heart.
Fortunately, Kang Shin-mu was able to control this desire and completely devoured the Devil Qi, transforming it into his own strength.
Moreover, as he devoured more Devil Qi, he found that his resistance to the erosion of the Devil Qi was getting stronger.
At first, he was really afraid that he would not be able to resist the erosion of the Devil Qi. After devouring the Devil Qi, he would also become a devil creature. Fortunately, he found that he would not be eroded, so he felt relieved.
The next moment, Jiang Yuening's moonlight power condensed into a blade light, pierced through the air, and directly fell on the Demonized Earth Lion controlled by Kang Shin-mu, cutting it in half.
Kang Shin-mu immediately retreated.
Then, the moonlight power blade light arrived one after another. At this time, the Demonized Earth Lion no longer had the ability to move, and was directly cut into pieces by the countless moonlight power blade light.
Kang Shin-mu stepped forward and took out the Earth Demon's Demon Core.
However, he found that the Earth Demon's Demon Core was full of Devil Qi. This Devil Qi had polluted the entire Demon Core, and it was no longer the same as a normal Earth Demon's Demon Core.
At least, for ordinary people, this kind of Demon Core polluted by Devil Qi was useless.
But for Kang Shin-mu, it seemed that this was not the case.
He tried to absorb the Earth Power in the Earth Demon's Demon Core. Although it was the Earth Power polluted by Devil Qi, he could still rely on it to restore himself.
His innate ability, which was the power of devouring, could transform the Devil Qi into normal energy to restore himself. This was something that other Dragon Warriors could not do at all.
Therefore, for Kang Shin-mu, this kind of Demon Core polluted by Devil Qi was no different from a normal Demon Core. Whether it was the Devil Qi or the Earth Power, he could devour it and use it for himself.
Perhaps, Kang Shin-mu could obtain a lot of things from this.
However, now was not the time for him to do so.
The Demonized Earth Lion was chopped into pieces. The two continued to move forward. They had not yet entered the stone forest, and were only in the periphery. However, there were many Demonized Beasts in the periphery.
Apart from the Demonized Earth Lion, there were also a few other Demonic Beasts that had mastered the power of earth roaming around.
Sensing the movement of the Earth Lion Demonized Beast being killed, they all rushed over. They were born with an endless desire to kill purely because of the erosion of the Devil Qi, so the battle was extremely attractive to them.
Generally speaking, the Demonic Beasts living in the stone forest were relatively peaceful.
After all, there were no Demonic Beasts in the stone forest, and there were no Demonic Beasts guarding it. If they caused trouble, it would easily lead to a fatal disaster.
But now, these Demonic Beasts eroded by Devil Qi had lost their ability to think and were naturally attracted to killing.
"Let's finish this quickly."
Kang Shin-mu and Jiang Yuening looked around and saw at least ten Demonic Beasts rushing over. Four of them were Earth Demon Level Demonized Beasts. They immediately became serious. They had not even entered the stone forest, and there were already so many Demonic Beasts attacking them together.
If they entered the stone forest, the situation would probably be even more dangerous.
Moreover, the individual strength of these Demonic Beasts in the periphery was not very strong. Whether it was Kang Shin-mu or Jiang Yuening, they could easily deal with them.
But if they entered the stone forest, the situation might not necessarily be the same.
This stone forest was very vast.
There might even be Heaven Demon Level Demonic Beasts in it.
