'Someone's coming!'
Chu Qingyun's heart tightened. Wasting no more time, he split open the Thundercloud Lion's head with a few slashes. Three vines from his Ten-Star Vine plunged inside and quickly retrieved a fist-sized Demon Core.
Thankfully, his new Treasure Sword was sharp enough. Otherwise, with his old Black Iron Long Sword, he might not have been able to cut through the Thundercloud Lion's incredibly tough skull in time.
The Thundercloud Lion's Demon Core was a pale purple, with tiny bolts of lightning occasionally flickering across its surface, making it look like an exquisite work of art.
However, Chu Qingyun had no time to admire it. After stowing away the Demon Core, he used his Stealth Soul Technique and quickly fled the scene.
Although the Demon Beast's enormous body was also quite valuable, the corpse of a house-sized creature vanishing into thin air would be far too conspicuous.
