Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme-Chapter 926 - 571: Yellow Turban

Equipment attributes have already been explained; there is no need for further elaboration.

Xu Yang directly took off his worn short shirt and put on a brand-new tiger skin coat.

Since it was a leather garment, he didn't receive the "cloth" characteristics bonus, so his Physical Strength and Strong Strike directly decreased by one point. However, it didn't matter, because the tiger skin coat also had bonuses for Physical Strength, Charm, and Commander.

Xu Yang's current character level was seven. From level one to level seven, he had gained a total of six attribute points and six skill points. Additionally, with the one point of Physical Strength and one point of Intelligence he gained by consuming Spirit Fish Dried, he had a total of seven skill points to distribute (increasing intelligence provides additional skill points).

He allocated five points to Strong Strike, and with the effect of the four-piece cloth set, he just reached the tenth level of the first order. The remaining two points were allocated to Strong Bow, bringing it to the third level of the first order, preparing him for the use of ranged weapons in the future.

After a fruitful scouting in the cave to make sure nothing was overlooked, Xu Yang turned around and headed towards the Iron Ore Mine Valley in the south.

This was the last of the initial resource points.

...

The valley was dark red, as if stained with blood, with a hole at the center, deep and unfathomable, emanating bursts of cold air.

Needless to say, it was filled with dangers!

In the Lord World, although it is a fragmented world, it has also been transformed by the great power of the Sky-reaching Tower. The initial resources and initial demon monsters are somewhat designed, not entirely random and freely generated. Otherwise, if a first-order lord had a tenth-order Demon God hidden within his initial territory, how would they ever fight?

Since there is a design, there are rules. Generally, they are distributed from strongest to weakest, and finally, there is a "BOSS" guarding the passage as a test and reward for a new lord. Only by defeating it can one become a true lord.

Clearly, inside this hole was the "guardian BOSS" prepared by the Sky-reaching Tower for Xu Yang!

Resolutely, Xu Yang picked up a piece of broken rock and directly went into action.

"Bang!"

A loud noise echoed as the rock entered the hole, then silence ensued.

Xu Yang didn't care and continuously poked with his iron spear, throwing several more rocks into the hole.

Finally...

"Who disturbs my slumber?"

A low growl, chilling and accompanied by a cold wind whistling out of the hole, caused the temperature to drop drastically, even forming bits of frost.

Xu Yang's eyes narrowed, his iron spear swung again, lifting a large boulder straight towards the hole.

Though he didn't possess Inner Element Gang Qi, his Physical Attribute had reached eighteen points, and his strength was now comparable to a cultivator in the late stages of Body Training in the first realm of Martial Arts, allowing him to lift a boulder weighing thousands of pounds.

The boulder flew like Mount Tai crushing an egg.

Unexpectedly...

"Bang!!!"

A blade energy furiously cut through, splitting the boulder apart, exploding into pieces and flying back towards Xu Yang.

Xu Yang's expression remained unchanged, only twirling his spear to create a flurry of shadows, smashing the flying stones completely.

The crushed rocks turned to powder, bursting into a cloud of dust that was blown away by the wind, revealing a huge figure standing before the cave.

It was a man with an extraordinarily sturdy body, over eight feet tall, resembling a small giant. His skin was a bluish-black, ghastly white color, and his eyes glowed a lurid red. He wore a Yellow Turban on his head, donned battle armor, and wielded a colossal, albeit rusted and battered, blade that still emitted a menacing aura.

Xu Yang stared intently and saw a row of red characters floating above the man's head.

Demon General·Zhang Mancheng (Yellow Turban Commander)

Is this... a hero?

"Another lapdog of the court?"

A low murmur rose with murderous intent as the Demon General's red eyes glowed brighter, his body surrounded by cold winds, and his giant blade furiously cleaving through the air, aiming directly at his opponent.

Xu Yang's eyes narrowed, he immediately flipped and dodged. The red blade light hit behind him, causing a thunderous noise as rocks shattered, carving a large gully.

The might of such a strike was terrifying; this ability was no less than a cultivator who had perfected the first realm of Body Training and Qi Cultivation.

Although it was a guardian BOSS, its strength was incredibly shocking. How much would other lords have to sacrifice to defeat him?

No wonder some lords couldn't even pass the initial stage. Although the Sky-reaching Tower's design of initial demon monsters was somewhat balanced, it was only to a certain extent and did not guarantee absolute balance, inevitably leading to exceptional cases like the Yellow Turban Demon General in front of him.

"To death!"

With the strike missed, fury intensified. The Demon General roared, charging forward with his sword, his speed and strength even greater than the previously encountered Demonized Demon Tiger, with the fierce cold wind striking directly at the face, suffocatingly oppressive.

Xu Yang's expression remained unchanged. He dodged with nimble footwork, and at the same time, he thrust his spear out, catching his enemy's weak spot under the armpit, where there was no armor for protection.

"Puff!"

The cold spear pierced through the body, splashing dirty blood on his clothes. The iron spearhead hit the body of the Demon General, feeling like it had struck ironwood leather; there was no sense of piercing flesh, and it only caused minimal damage, merely breaking the defense.

"Die!"

Unhurt by the injury, the Demon General swung his giant blade back, attempting to sever Xu Yang's body.

However, Xu Yang took a heavy step, leveraging his body to rise, not only avoiding the attack but also hurling his spear like a dragon in mid-air, with cold glimmers bursting like a pear blossom rainstorm, intensely targeting the Demon General's head.

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The sounds of clanging resounded, with cold glimmers and sparks flying, and dirty blood scattering. The Demon General also suffered severe injuries, retreating with his face up, stumbling backward, and crashing into the mountain wall behind him, causing another loud noise.

Xu Yang landed, glancing at the spear tip, saw blood stains turning into mottles, tangled with mince.

Such an attack, directly hitting the vital point, would undoubtedly result in death without protection; the previously encountered Demonized Demon Tiger was an example.

Yet...

"Boom!"

The cliff exploded, and the Demon General emerged once again. Although its head was now a muddy mess, a surging killing intent could still be felt. Raising the giant blade, it stabbed towards the heavens: "The Sky is dead, the Yellow Heaven must be established. Where are the Strongmen?"

No sooner had the words been spoken than a yellow light flickered in the void, and more than ten ethereal figures formed, holding long spears and thrusting directly at Xu Yang.

Xu Yang frowned, swung his iron spear, and lifted several fragments of stone around him. Although not massive, they weighed a hundred kilograms, striking towards those ethereal Taoist Soldiers like a landslide.

"Bang bang bang!"

The stones fell, shattering several illusions, but the momentum could not be stopped, and the remaining Strongmen thrust their spears, rapidly closing in to surround him.

Seeing this, Xu Yang was resolute. A golden light flashed on his body, suddenly producing a thunderous tiger's roar, grappling chaotically with the ethereal Taoist Soldiers.

"Kill!!!"

The Demon General also joined the fray at this moment. The sounds of swords and soldiers echoed incessantly in the valley as both sides clashed fiercely, shaking the ground and the mountains around them.

Ultimately...

Repeating his old trick, moving like a dragon, Xu Yang thrust back with his spear, piercing through the rusty Yellow Turban Battle Armor, directly into the heart of the Demon General.

"Roar!"

Severely wounded, the Demon General let out an inhuman roar, swinging its giant blade downwards in retaliation.

"Clang!"

With a loud clang and sparks flying, the long spear, forged from iron, was cleaved in half by the Demon General.

However, Xu Yang had anticipated this and immediately discarded the broken spear, stepping forward swiftly, and powering through from a short range.

"Bang!!!"

"Spurt!!!"

From close quarters, he launched a powerful punch, hitting the broken end of the spear, creating an explosive sound, and thrusting the spear point deep into his adversary's heart.

"Roar!"

The Demon General roared out in excruciating pain, staggering backwards.

Xu Yang did not relent, pressing on with rapid steps, his punches like a dragon, strike after strike, hammering down on the broken spear as if driving a nail, forcefully embedding the iron-cast half spear deeper into the Demon General's body.

"Bang!!!"

With the final strike, the broken spear flew out, piercing through the Demon General's heart and into the rock wall behind, causing a loud explosion.

The body of the Demon General stood erect, its chest ripped open with a sizeable gash showing the diffusing dust behind.

"In the year of Jiazi, all under heaven prospers!"

Eventually, the Corpse Body turned into light and scattered away, and the remaining few ethereal figures also dissipated amidst mournful cries.

"You have killed the Demon General Zhang Mancheng (Yellow Turban General)."

"You have gained 10,000 Experience Points!"

"You have eliminated a Demon General entrenched in the local area, obtaining special spoils of war—the General's Arrow!"

"You have eliminated a Demon General entrenched in the local area, obtaining 30,000 additional Experience Points and 100 Reputation Points as rewards!"

"Your Character Level has increased to Level 10, gaining 1 Attribute Point and 1 Skill Point!"

...

The Demon General fell, and the battle ended.

Xu Yang stood his ground, his hands covered in blood, and knuckles showing white bone—the price paid for the "hammering nails" tactic.

He seemed unconcerned, stepping forward, and with a wave of his hand, three streams of white light fell into his hands, transforming into three items.
