Return Of The Demon 45 Three Temperead Honey

Bai Yun noticed that the queen bee was mostly sitting there and letting the worker bees do most of the work. The bees also had patterns to their movement. Once he observed them for a wile, he was ready to move.

Bai Yun took out a qi replenis.h.i.+ng pill and put it in his mouth, ready to swallow it at a moments notice. He then slowly crept out of the tunnel, and crawled forward toward the bees. They hadn't noticed him yet due to his skills as well as their tasks.

Bai Yun came as close as he could before the bees would sense him. He waited under the honey wall cutout for a chance to strike and kill as many bees as he could in the initial strike.

As he watched, the critical moment came in a few minutes. The bees were flying around and they lined up in front of him by chance.

Bai Yun did not waste this chance and moved in an instant, casting both wind motion as well as a ray of moonlight simultaneously. His sword cut four bees that were standing in his path before anyone reacted to him.

Only then did the rest of the bees find out about the intruder in their midst. Bai Yun did not waste their silence, and ran towards the other before they reacted. It was only after two more bees had been cut down did the queen bee scream, and the rest of the worker bees attacked him.

After spending so much qi, Bai Yun's reserves were empty, so he immediately swallowed the pill in his mouth. Qi quickly started to fill his dantian. The amount of qi in the pill was more than what he could hold so he started at attack and move rapidly, lest the qi be wasted. Since the bees were scattered around the room, and it took a while for them to come together, he started to pick them off one by one.

By the time the qi replenis.h.i.+ng pill had run out of energy, he had killed nine more bees, reducing the number of bees to thirteen. But by now they had all surrounded him. Thankfully his qi reserves were full, or else he would be dead even faster.

The queen bee realized that the situation had changed. Not only had the intruder been surrounded, he also seem to have run out of steam. So the queen bee simply laid back and screeched orders at its workers. Even though it was relaxed, its eyes were filled with hatred towards the intruder that had killed more than half of its workers. The standoff between Bai Yun and the bees continued for a few minutes, with him trying to find a fault in their formation, and the bees trying to kill him.

All of a sudden Bai Yun's eyes were drawn to his sword. He saw that his sword had become even more cracked than before. With each collision with the stingers of the bees, especially those of the second circle, the condition of his sword became much worse.

Bai Yun had been a swordsman for tens of thousands of years. A single look was enough for him to realize that the sword would only last one more hit.

He smiled wryly as the realization hit him. It seemed as if he would not be able to kill any more bees. If he did not want to die and be disqualified, he would have to retreat immediately. Once his sword broke, he would not be able to hold the second circle bees back.

In that instant Bai Yun felt as if time had stopped. He looked around at the thirteen bees that had surrounded him, his eyes scouring every single one of them. He could see their wings moving in slow motion, beat by beat. He saw their eyes, red from anger. He saw their stingers thrusting straight at him. There was no way for him to kill of them. He needed a large area attack even to hold them back and escape.

Bai Yun then thought of the second move of the moonlight sword, rain in the moonlight. It was an area attack, but something he had yet to master. He could barely trigger it properly, and even when he did so, something was blocking the move, making him unable to bring out its true strength.

Bai Yun grit his strength, and decided to use it anyway. His strength was nearly not enough to escape. If he used it, he would be at least able to push away the bees, so that he could run away. Without mastering it, using it would only cause him to waste a lot of energy, and not deal any damage. But he had no choice. He needed a moment to run.

Without waiting for it, he cast rain under the moonlight. Rain under the moonlight was a move that dispersed the strength of the sword into multiple thrusts. If a ray of moonlight focused all the energy of the castor into a single point and thrust the sword forward at great speed, then a rain under the moonlight split that energy into multiple pieces, and let it disperse in multiple thrusts that came one after the other. Each of the thrusts were much weaker than a ray of moonlight, but when huge number of came one after the other, it allowed one to rapidly send attacks in any direction as they please.

Bai Yun had only started to study the sword technique recently. The techniques that he studied in his past life consisted of very different principles, thus he he found it a bit difficult to comprehend the technique at first.

Bai Yun attacked the bees one by one, pus.h.i.+ng them back and hurting them in the process. With each attack, the bees were pushed back and Bai Yun gained a little more breathing room.

Suddenly with a slight crack a new tiny crack appeared at the sword tip. Bai Yun frowned as he saw this. His attack was in the middle of execution and this crack caused him to lose control of the latest thrust slightly. As he watched, the sword collided against the body of the bee in front of him, and the unstable qi caused a small explosion. When he saw this Bai Yun's eyes widened in surprise.

It was like lightning had gone off in his head. He realized that he had been thinking about the technique all wrong. Since the ray of moonlight was a penetration type technique, he had a.s.sumed that the case was true for rain under the moonlight. But it was not. The technique was meant to explode upon slightly penetrating the body of the enemy, thus not only causing extra damage, but also the reverse force of the explosion would allow him to retreat his sword faster.

The moonlight part of the rain under the moonlight was the light that would appear when the technique was executed. He had thought that the rain part in the name referred to the large umber of attacks in the technique, but no. The rain was referring to how a raindrop would burst upon hitting the ground.

In an instant countless thoughts ran through Bai Yun's head. He realized the true way of utilizing the technique, but it was too late by now. His sword was about to collapse.

A look of determination pa.s.sed through his eyes before Bai Yun send his soul tendrils into the sword. The soul tendrils would cause the sword to stay together, but in exchange, he would be dealt with the backlash. He halted the technique he was casting, and once again used the rain under the moonlight, this time doing it properly.

As the true technique was cast, a small reverberating noise was heard, as if someone was. .h.i.tting a drum very silently, but repeatedly. In a second the entire region around Bai Yun was washed in faint white glow. Bai Yun repeatedly hit the weak points of the bees, enlarging the wounds they had received, until they screeched out in pain as their body's ripped in two.

As he stopped, Bai Yun spit out a mouthful of blood, and his sword shattered into pieces at the same time. Just as the blood and the pieces of the sword fell ontotheh floor, so did the bodies of the bees.

For a moment the entire cavern was silent. Bai Yun stared at the bee queen, who was stunned into silence by what had just transpired. Bai Yun knew knew that it wouldn't last for much longer. He acted immediately and send his soul tendrils against the queen. Before she could react, his soul tendrils had silenced the queen. But they were only strong enough to clamp its mouth shut. If she called for her follower, the situation would get quite dangerous.

Bai Yun cast wind motion and ran at the queen bee at full speed. He reached the bee in an instant and attacked the beast using the lions oar. As he approached the queen bee, his right arm lit up and he punched at the beast's heart, with the momentum of his speed for added strength.

The queen bee saw him coming and a ruthless look pa.s.sed though its eyes. It thrust its stinger straight at Bai Yun, hoping to take him along with her. Bai Yun's eyes narrowed. He recalled the soul tendrils that he was using to keep the bee quiet, and grabbed his waist with them. With all the strength he could muster, he twisted his body out of the way of the stinger. Just as it pa.s.sed by him, ripping his clothes in the process, he heard a snap coming from his back. But he had no time to waste on it as his fist went through the bee's heart at the same time. The queen bee looked at him for a moment in surprise before the light in its eyes disappeared, and it fell back dead.

Bai Yun stretched his back. Even though he had started on cultivation recently, he still had lived for a long time before starting on this path. His body was not in the optimal condition for doing such acrobatic moves, and such a maneuver had caused him to sprain his muscle.

Once he was done, he went behind the queen bees quarters, to find a small pot filled with a golden liquid. Bai Yun dipped his finger into the pot and licked it to taste. He realized that was the reward given to people who could clear an entire beast den. And this reward was tempered honey, a body cultivation treasure.

Tempered honey was a special product that could only be created by bee type races, and also took a long time to create. The bees would repeatedly distill the essence of honey, and then make large quant.i.ties of it before repeating the process again to make the power of it more dense. This would an incredible long time to prepare. After each tempering the power in the honey would increase exponentially. The first few tempering weren't much valuable, but a thirteen or fourteen tempered honey was valuable enough to even move G.o.ds.

With a single lick, Bai Yun realized that the object in front of him was three tempered honey. Three tempered honey was quite valuable, and based on the amount in front of him, he seemed to have enough to make two more mysterious patterns. He figured that the organizers had kept so much of the honey in the test because they would have never expected a single person to make it all the way here all by themselves. He would have used it then and there but for the fact that he had no time left.

After he put away the honey, he stared at the remnants of his sword. Even though he only had a small amount of qi left, it would be enough to get back. The more pressing problem was the lack of a weapon. All that remained of his sword was the hilt.

After a moment, he walked up to the queen bee, and cut off her stinger. Then he picked up the hilt of his sword, and jammed it into the stinger as hard as he could. After swinging around his makes.h.i.+ft lance, even though it was too short to be called that, he smiled in satisfaction.

It was time to slaughter his way out.
