Chapter Thirty-Six: Bone Jade Blood Coral
Two brothers' eyes were spewing with fierce flames, their steel-like teeth clenched tightly, and from their expressions, it seemed as if they would pounce on the black leopard and tear it to shreds at any moment. However, facing the elite of the Black Tiger Mercenary Group that surrounded them, the two brothers also knew clearly that they didn't have even a sliver of chance.
Heaving a sigh, the red-faced big man recognized the situation clearly, with a sorrowful expression all over his face. He said to Black Leopard: "Black Leopard, you have been chasing and killing us brothers for more than ten days, just for the 'Bone Jade Blood Coral'. I can give it to you, but I hope you will spare our brothers!"
Jade bones and coral blood!
In the treetops, upon hearing this name, Ning's body and mind both shook, almost revealing his whereabouts.
"The Records of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures" states that on the continent of Shenwu, there is a type of demonic beast similar to deer called Yu Gu Shou. Legend has it that it possesses a hint of Qilin's bloodline and is an extremely rare demonic beast.
There is a pair of bone jade horns on the head of the bone jade beast, shaped like coral. When the bone jade beast dies, its body's essence and blood will flow back into the bone jade horn, changing it from white grey to crimson red, becoming the extremely precious "Bone Jade Blood Coral".
The greatest effect of Bone Jade Blood Coral is to refine blood and temper bones, and it is hailed as one of the sacred medicines for physical refinement. Using this substance can save at least decades of hard work, greatly advancing the level of cultivation. In comparison, the mature Earth Dragon Fruit that Ning Chong had actually used seemed somewhat inferior.
However, the Bone Jade Blood Coral is not only useful for body refinement, but also for ordinary martial artists to refine their blood and bones, transform their bodies, increase their strength and physical intensity, and greatly enhance their combat capabilities.
Martial arts acknowledge the ultimate principle. Martial cultivation of the body has always been the foundation of martial arts. Excellence in the body can make martial cultivation smooth and even gain extra bonuses.
And the powerful force can even directly enhance the combat power of a martial artist. Think about it, if a martial artist not only has refined skills but also possesses strong and robust physical strength similar to that of a body refiner, then his actual combat ability will be more than just doubled!
It can be seen that the preciousness and reverse heaven effect of Bone Jade Blood Coral have how great an attraction for martial artists who pursue power!
By now, Ning Chong was no longer puzzled. As soon as the "Bone Jade Blood Coral" appeared, anyone who heard this term would likely go crazy. No wonder these days, the Black Panther and Black Tiger Mercenary Corps had put aside their hatred for the young master's death and were determined to hunt down these few brothers.
Even now, his heart was racing with excitement and agitation. If it weren't for the fact that reason told him he still wasn't a match for Black Panther, and the dozen or so elite black tiger mercenaries weren't just for show, he might not have been able to resist taking action to seize the opportunity.
Suppressing the impulse in his heart, he forced himself to calm down and quietly observed the movements on the scene. However, there were still some thoughts in his mind, and if he had the chance, he would definitely try to contend for the Bone Jade Blood Coral.
However, such opportunities are very slim. Let alone the powerful Black Panther, Ning Chong's current strength can single-handedly cope with one of the more than ten elites of the Black Tiger Mercenary Group, but to snatch the Bone Jade Blood Coral in a circle surrounded by more than ten elites is simply too unrealistic.
"Hmph, till now, can't you see the situation clearly? What makes you think you can negotiate with me? Hmph, whether you like it or not, agree or disagree, what Black Panther has set his eyes on, he will take back by himself! The Bone Jade Blood Coral will definitely be mine, Black Panther's!"
The red-faced big man offered to sacrifice his bone jade and blood coral in exchange for the black leopard's mercy on him and his brother, but what he got instead was the black leopard's icy cold ridicule.
With his hands behind his back, the black leopard calmly took two steps forward, its cold eyes looking pitifully at the two brothers. "I heard that when the Flying Swan Mercenary Group's Five Tigers made their oath, they vowed not to be born on the same year and month, but to die on the same year and month. Since your three brothers have already taken a step ahead of you, I might as well send you two down to reunite with them."
The red-faced and black-faced men actually didn't hold much hope, after all, their three brothers had died at the hands of the Black Panther. The Black Panther may be foolish, but it wouldn't let a tiger return to its mountain, leaving behind future troubles. At this time, upon hearing the Black Panther's words, the red-faced and black-faced men exchanged a glance, with hatred and determination in their eyes. Both understood each other's meaning, understanding that they had no way out.
"Big brother, this black leopard will never let us go, we'll fight him to the end!"
"Alright! Good brothers! We five brothers are all men of great integrity, let's fight it out with him!"
With a shout, the two brothers, one on the left and one on the right, each brandishing their large knives, launched a pincer attack on the black leopard.
The black leopard was neither slow nor fast, with a look of disdain on its face, lazily sizing up the two brothers who were rushing up, without even moving its body.
"Kill! Five-tone Thunder Slash!"
A red-faced giant knife chopped from the left, as soon as it was chopped out, the knife body shone brightly, and when it chopped through the air, a low thunderous sound actually echoed, with an extraordinary momentum.
"Storm Slash!"
The black-faced man on the right directly chopped down, with a layer of fierce wind condensed on the blade, piercing towards the black leopard's head with an astonishing speed and momentum.
Facing the two brothers' left and right ultimate attacks, the black leopard still sneered continuously, with its back against its hands, without any attacking or defensive movements, completely disregarding that its vital parts had been fully exposed under the two brothers' ultimate attacks.
The two brothers were forced into a desperate situation, and the ultimate move they launched together was their last resort. The power and momentum were extraordinary, and in the blink of an eye, the two brothers, one on the left and one on the right, had their knives flashing around Black Leopard's vital spots. The knife shadows seemed to be about to tear Black Leopard into pieces at any moment.
Just as the knife was about to reach him, in an instant, the black leopard finally made a move, but still seemed careless, treating the desperate ultimate move of the two brothers as a gentle breeze. A green light flashed on his palms and he casually slapped it out.
Dang Dang!
Two consecutive metallic clangs, and the black leopard used its palm to block the brothers' ultimate move. Its palms, which shone with a greenish-blue light, not only remained unscathed but also splashed out a string of sparks, steadily blocking the brothers' ultimate move.
Only Ning Chong hiding in the nearby tree crown made his eyes narrow and his heart beat with surprise.
The "Qing Yu Zhang" of this black leopard is even more terrifying than imagined! It has already reached the point where it can withstand a white blade with bare hands! Moreover, the black leopard hasn't used the long sword on its back yet, and that sword will not be just for show! The two brothers' strength should not have reached the point of making the black leopard draw its sword!
The black leopard's strength is indeed powerful and frightening!
On the scene, the black leopard blocked the two brothers' ultimate move, but the two brothers were not surprised at all. In these more than ten days, they had fought with the black leopard and others in dozens of battles, big and small. Three brothers died at the hands of the black leopard. They were already familiar with the black leopard's strength and means.
One move was not made, and the two brothers were immediately shouting again, surrounding the black leopard and attacking it. The knife moves were absolutely free, chopping the black leopard into a ball of light, completely enveloping it in a halo of knives.
For a moment, the black leopard's figure was completely obscured by the flashing knives, yet despite this, it could still be seen that amidst the endless flashes of light, the black leopard was effortlessly and freely dancing with its palms. With a "ding ding" sound, sparks flew everywhere, blocking the two brothers' ultimate knife attack.
The battle in the arena was getting more and more intense, but the dozen or so black-clad men surrounding them just crossed their arms and sneered coldly, watching the show with ease. They were all confident in Black Panther, knowing that he was just toying with the two brothers, and wisely chose not to interfere with his performance.
