What’s the point of giving Nangong Jiuxi’s bellyband?
Jiang Chen thought that the system is up to something again.
He reminded himself to be careful.
After nine cycles of reincarnation, he had finally managed to prevent Nangong Jiuxi from meeting a deadly fate, and he couldn’t afford any mistakes in this life.
At this moment, the prodigies were still kneeling on the ground, the surroundings a complete mess.
The ice field for miles around had melted due to the influence of the phoenix fire, and the lake, directly exposed to the high temperature of the phoenix fire, had completely dried up.
However, the small island in the lake remained lush and green, and the red flames inside the crystals on the island flickered even more dazzlingly.
Phoenix fire is heavenly fire. The fact that it could still exist amidst the rampage of the heavenly fire and protect the entire island proved…
“The innate spirit fire within that crystal is at least seventh grade!” one of the prodigies exclaimed.
Upon hearing this, the rest of the prodigies were all startled.That was seventh-grade spirit fire!
If they could refine it, it would undoubtedly greatly enhance their combat power.
If they could exchange it for pills at the Ancient Pill Tower, the gains would be a massive fortune!
Just the thought of it made the prodigies eager to move again. But glancing at Jiang Chen, they wisely gave up the idea.
The situation just now had proven that even if they joined forces, they were no match for Jiang Chen.
Seventh-grade spirit fire was good, but one needed the strength to compete for it.
“Alas!” Jian Liu sighed deeply.
He inwardly cursed his luck.
It would be great if his Eldest Senior Brother Su Shan were here.
Su Shan might not have the same talent in the Way of the Sword as Jiang Chen, nor the same combat power, but Su Shan was a sword cultivator at the pinnacle of Heavenly Origin with Major Achievement in the Way of the Sword.
Jiang Chen possessed the power to cross the chasm in this secret realm, indeed making him an invincible existence, but that was in a one-on-one fight.
Su Shan was famous throughout the Central Domain, and his reputation among the prodigies was extremely high.
If he were to lead, the prodigies could fight Jiang Chen once more, and it would not be as stifling as this time!
Regrettably, since entering the Mysterious Ice Realm, Su Shan had been chasing Nangong Jiuxi of the Myriad Dao Demon Sect along with the first Buddhist son of the Buddha Temple, Ci En.
Jian Liu had no idea where he was at the moment.
Thinking of Nangong Jiuxi, Jian Liu’s expression became grave again.
This woman was ranked third in the Heaven’s Pride Ranking and possessed the rare Profound Dark Demonic Body.
Her combat power was unquestionable, and her nature was even more ruthless than the rumors.
Since the opening of the secret realm, only a few hours had passed, but several righteous prodigies had already died at her hands.
It was heard that since entering the secret realm, Nangong Jiuxi had been inquiring about Jiang Chen’s whereabouts everywhere.
Jian Liu didn’t know how this woman got entangled with Jiang Chen.
But he was certain that if this woman really met and allied with Jiang Chen, given the temperament and methods of both, it was highly likely that the righteous prodigies who entered the secret realm would be annihilated!
‘The demonic path runs rampant and the righteous path weakens, what to do?’ Thinking of this, Jian Liu felt a deep pain and urgency.
While everyone was convinced that Jiang Chen was overpowering all the prodigies for the sake of the spiritual fire in the lake, Jiang Chen didn’t even glance at the shining red spiritual fire.
Instead, he stared at the spirit rabbits on the island with a strange smile.
“Eldest Senior Brother, why are you looking at those spirit rabbits?” Zhang Hu didn’t understand.
As he spoke, he took a look at the rabbits on the island.
There were quite a few of them, at least a hundred.
Apart from their red eyes being somewhat eerie, their fluffy long ears and snow-like fur seemed nothing out of the ordinary.
Not only were they not out of the ordinary, but they were also somewhat…
“They’re adorable,” Zhang Hu commented.
“Adorable?”
Jiang Chen rolled his eyes.
Jiang Lianyue, hearing this, also shook her head slightly.
Zhang Hu, puzzled, asked, “Senior Brother, aren’t you interested in that spiritual fire? That’s a seventh-grade innate spiritual fire…”
Before he could finish, he suddenly stopped talking.
Because while he was speaking, the spirit rabbits had moved from the island to the dried-up lakebed, gathering and rushing towards Jiang Chen and the other prodigies.
In less than a moment, a particularly large spirit rabbit came before Jiang Chen.
Without waiting for the rabbit to do anything, Jiang Chen’s eyes turned cold, and his sword fell with a swift movement of his hand.
With a flash of sword light, the spirit rabbit was cleaved in two and its blood sprayed everywhere.
Seeing this, Zhang Hu was stunned.
The other prodigies looked on with disdain, thinking to themselves: A villain is a villain.
Whether it’s cultivators or spirit rabbits, their lives are nothing but weeds in Jiang Chen’s eyes.
Jiang Chen had no intention of explaining anything to them.
He stood with his sword, quietly waiting for something.
Suddenly, as if sensing the scent of blood in the air, the hundreds of spirit rabbits inexplicably halted.
They began to bare their teeth, their white fur standing on end, emitting a strange laughter.
Then, with the red light in their eyes intensifying, these spirit rabbits stood upright, their bodies beginning to grow.
In just a moment, they turned into hundreds of ‘giants’!
Indeed, giants. They stood like humans, laughing while rubbing their hands together in anticipation.
Their thick muscles and towering figures gave off an extremely oppressive feeling.
What was even more terrifying was that from the aura they emitted, it was clear that these hundreds of giant spirit rabbits were all great demons comparable to Heavenly Origin cultivators!
While everyone was still in shock, a spirit rabbit with bulging chest muscles approached Zhang Hu, looking down at him.
It clenched its fist and opened its bloody mouth wide.
Thick saliva dripped down its sharp teeth, landing right on Zhang Hu’s cheek.
“!”
Swallowing hard, Zhang Hu was petrified.
“It looks pretty adorable looking at you now,” Jiang Chen took the opportunity to tease.
Zhang Hu was on the verge of tears!
Who could have imagined that the seemingly harmless spirit rabbits not only hid their aura but could also transform!
Now, Zhang Hu was merely an Earthly Origin cultivator.
He had no doubt that not just a group of “giant spirit rabbits,” even a single one could pin him to the ground and pummel him, then devour him alive!
“Eldest Senior Brother, save me…” He chose to ask Jiang Chen for help.
Jiang Chen was quite friendly to his junior brother and immediately responded, “Junior Brother, keep it up. Eldest Senior Brother will cheer you! The spirit rabbits are so adorable, you should get to know them better.”
With that, Jiang Chen and Jiang Lianyue soared into the sky on his sword, cheering for Zhang Hu from several meters high.
“…”
At this point, Zhang Hu really wanted to cry.
At the same time, the “giant spirit rabbit” suddenly stepped forward and with a strongman’s grip, choked Zhang Hu’s neck.
Then, it bit into Zhang Hu’s shoulder.
“Ahhh!!”
The intense pain made Zhang Hu scream.
He thought he was done for, but then he realized, the giant spirit rabbit also screamed in agony, even more miserably.
“Squeak—!!”
In just a short while, the rabbit foamed at the mouth flailed its limbs, and fell to the ground dead. It died with its eyes wide open.
Before dying, it still pointed at Zhang Hu, making strange noises from its mouth as if to say:
“This person is poisonous!”
This left Zhang Hu somewhat dumbfounded.
After coming to his senses, he danced with excitement, shouting to Jiang Chen in the sky, “Eldest Senior Brother! It’s Postnatal Poison Body! I’ve become a Postnatal Poison Body!”
The response he got was still Jiang Chen’s cheering.
Zhang Hu was no longer afraid and his confidence soared.
Looking at the prodigies being chased by the spirit rabbits and desperately fleeing, he felt this was his moment to shine!
“You, come bite me!” He casually pointed at a spirit rabbit and beckoned with his finger.
The spirit rabbit paused, glanced at its poisoned dead companion, and then…
“Ptooey!”
It spat on the ground!
Then it walked away with a look of disgust.
“…”
