“For now, we can only try to stall it as long as possible, and when Senior Sister Duanmu and Little Black arrive, they should be able to join forces to finish it off.”
According to Zhang Ruochen’s prediction, Duanmu Xingling and Little Black would have to wait at least a quarter of an hour before they could arrive at the Magma River Valley.
With his cultivation, would he be able to stall the black monster for a quarter of an hour?
Just then, the black monster stretched out two tens of metres long hardened tentacles and attacked towards Zhang Ruochen.
Zhang Ruochen immediately executed the power of spatial distortion to hide his figure and disappeared in place.
“Boom Boom!”
The two tentacles of the black monster lashed out on top of the stone wall, shattering it and dropping a piece of broken stone.
Noticing that Zhang Ruochen had disappeared, the black monster’s mouth let out a sharp cry as a strand of true qi coalesced on his body, and a dark red mass appeared in his abdomen. That mass of dark red colour surged up from his abdomen, through his neck, and gushed out from his mouth.
A crimson flame covered the entire space, forcing Zhang Ruochen, who had hidden his figure, back out.
Zhang Ruochen immediately contracted his spatial domain so that it only covered a distance within ten metres, and through the power of the spatial domain, he finally blocked the flames spat out by the black monster.
Having reached the Xuanji Realm Great Extreme Position, Zhang Ruochen’s spatial domain could cover up to eighty metres away. The wider the space covered by the spatial domain, the weaker the power would be;the smaller the space covered, the stronger the power would be.
“Heavenly Heart Shatters the Sky!”
Zhang Ruochen stomped on the ground with both feet and leapt in the air, swinging his Snow Dragon Sword and chopping towards the black monster’s head.
Just as Zhang Ruochen struck the sword, a bone-piercing cold aura erupted from the body of the sword, and a sight of flying snow appeared around his body, covering a space of ten zhang in a radius.
Ten feet of flying snow.
Only before the snowflakes could land on the ground, they were evaporated by the high temperatures of the magma river and turned into wisps of white smoke.
Seeing Zhang Ruochen swinging the battle sword over, the black monster simultaneously mobilised eight tentacles and attacked towards Zhang Ruochen, guarding itself tightly.
Facing eight tentacles at the same time, even though Zhang Ruochen’s stance was very fast, he still appeared to be in danger, and every time, he almost got entangled by the tentacles.
“No, its power is too strong, even just one tentacle possesses the strength to kill a strong expert of the Earth Extreme Realm. Eight tentacles attacking at the same time is enough to kill a group of Earth Extreme Realm martial arts experts.”
Zhang Ruochen threw out one of the Thunder Beads, and then, performing the Wind-Resisting Flying Dragon Shadow, he quickly retreated back.
The power of the thunder bead was extremely strong, so Zhang Ruochen immediately retreated to the side of the stone door and operated his true qi to activate the inscription in the Ice and Fire Qilin Armour.
A hissing sound of a Qilin rang out, and Zhang Ruochen’s body blossomed with two colours of light, crimson and ethereal blue. The two rays of light condensed to form a giant Qilin silhouette, guarding Zhang Ruochen within the silhouette.
“Boom!”
Thunder beads, exploded underneath the black monster, releasing terrifying lightning power.
A white streak of electricity, like a heavenly blade, extended out tens of feet away, emitting a thunderous sound.
Countless lightning surged out like a fine serpentine pattern, completely wrapping the black monster.
The black monster’s body became very charred and black, emitting wisps of green smoke, and its body was even split by the power of the lightning, splitting out three bowl-sized blood holes. The blood holes also became scorched black, and surprisingly, no blood flowed out.
“Ow!”
After the black monster was briefly paralysed by the lightning, it immediately let out another ear-splitting roar, and its pair of huge eyes, which had completely turned blood-red, stormed towards Zhang Ruochen.
It raged!
“Its vitality is also too strong, being struck by the Thunder Bead, it actually didn’t die.”
Since the black monster had already been seriously injured by the Thunder Bead once, it would definitely be on guard, and even if Zhang Ruochen threw out another Thunder Bead, it would not be able to injure it.
Besides, at such a close distance, if Zhang Ruochen threw out the Thunder Bead, he might not kill the black monster, but kill himself first.
Just as the black monster’s eight tentacles came down, Zhang Ruochen immediately opened the inner space of the Space-Time Crystal Stone and disappeared into it.
Zhang Ruochen’s body disappeared into thin air once again, leaving only a crystal stone the size of a jujube core that fell to the ground.
“Boom!”
The eight tentacles of the black monster struck above the stone door of the Inferno River Purgatory with a loud bang, causing the door to shake.
The black monster hesitated for a moment, looking around for Zhang Ruochen, before finally fixing its gaze on the crystal stone on the ground. Using one of its tentacles, it rolled up the space-time crystal stone and surveyed it for a moment before throwing it into its mouth and swallowing it.
The black monster stared Avray at that one stone door and turned around, travelling towards the depths of the Red Sky Secret Mansion.
A quarter of an hour later.
A sexuality that looked petite and delicate. Sensual young girl, wearing light green coloured clothes, with long hair and slender legs, hurriedly rushed to the Magma River Valley, arriving at the place where the battle had just taken place.
That one charming-looking young girl, with a pair of eyebrows slightly condensed, said, “The battle is over.”
Next to her, a huge fat cat with wings, its eyes dripped as it said, “Zhang Ruochen wouldn’t have been killed by Waveheart already, right?”
That one young girl with a ******** shapely and enchanting figure and a charming face was naturally Duanmu Xingling, who had rushed to Zhang Ruochen’s aid.
Duanmu Xingling shook her head and said, “If Waveheart had killed Zhang Ruochen, by now, the stone door of the Yan River Purgatory has been opened and those evil people in the black market have been released. Moreover, even if Waveheart had already broken through to the Earth Extreme Realm, it would be impossible for him to cause such a terrifying destructive force. Zhang Ruochen should have encountered an even more vicious underground savage beast, and if that’s the case, then he’s in deep trouble!”
Xiao Hei ground his teeth and suddenly thought of something and laughed, “It doesn’t look like he’s short-lived, he should have escaped!”
If Zhang Ruochen really had died, then Little Black would definitely be pulled back into the Scroll World by the sealing power of the Qiankun Divine Wood Diagram.
The fact that it was still staying here properly now meant that Zhang Ruochen should still be alive.
Duanmu Xingling gently stroked her pointed chin, stretched out a slender jade hand, patted Little Black’s furry head, and said, ”Don’t worry! Even if Zhang Ruochen dies in the Red Sky Mysterious Mansion, I will continue to raise you and won’t let you become a homeless stray cat.”
Xiao Hei’s eyes glared as the black hairs all over his body exploded, saying, “This seat is the Emperor of Slaughtering the Heavens and Killing the Earth, is it not comparable to an ordinary cat? When this seat was mighty in the world, your old ancestor was not even born yet. This seat is proficient in three thousand martial arts aptitudes …… Hey, don’t go, listen to this seat finish ……”
Duanmu Xingling stretched a lazy waist, revealing a snow-white flat belly, slender waist, holding an ancient sword, walking back, saying, “That Tu Tian …… Emperor, quickly follow, if you get lost, you will really become a stray cat!”
Xiao Hei’s paw stepped hard on the ground, his two round ears stood up, and chased after Duanmu Xingling, following beside Duanmu Xingling, and continued, “This seat is proficient in three thousand martial arts aptitudes, can absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and induce the light of the stars, and once dominated the Kunlun Realm, no one can be defeated.”
Duanmu Xingling’s eyelids lifted, patted Little Black’s big soft head and said, “Not bad! To be a savage beast that can not only speak human language, but also ghost language, Zhang Ruochen has taught him well.”
Xiao Hei shook his head and glared angrily, saying, “Zhang Ruochen is just a small doll, how can he teach this seat? Not only is this seat’s martial arts cultivation through and through, moreover, it is also proficient in Formation, Alchemy, Artifact Refining, Beast Royalty, Calling the Wind and Rain, and Astrological Divination ……”
Duanmu Xingling’s peach cheeks contained a smile, her red lips slightly hooked, feeling that this big fat cat that Zhang Ruochen had raised was actually very interesting, more interesting than a human talking.
……
Zhang Ruochen stood in the inner space of the Space-Time Crystal Stone and was able to sense what was happening outside.
“Surprisingly, it was swallowed by the black monster.”
Originally, Zhang Ruochen was still thinking about how to kill the black monster, but now it had become much easier, all he needed to do was to throw a Thunder Bead out and let the Thunder Bead explode in the black monster’s abdomen, and it would be strange if the black monster didn’t die by then.
However, Zhang Ruochen was not in a hurry to kill the black monster and planned to wait a little longer. Knowing that the Red Sky Secret Mansion was quite dangerous, staying inside the black monster was much safer than staying outside.
It would be best if he could borrow the black monster and enter the depths of the Red Sky Secret Mansion.
In fact, Zhang Ruochen also wanted to know where exactly the black monster was going.
Zhang Ruochen unleashed his Spatial Domain, covering a space of eighty metres in a radius, and merged his Martial Soul into the Spatial Domain to inspect the situation in the outside world.
The black monster crawled quickly through the rock crevices and came to the bottom of a large underground mountain.
That big underground mountain might not be considered tall on the ground, but it was exceptionally majestic and magnificent in the underground layer. Who would have expected that there would also be a mountain in the underground layer?
The entire mountain was completely shrouded in colourful miasma, and the air was filled with highly poisonous gases, but in the crevices of the rocks grew a small three-leafed grass that was as white as jade.
Each of the three-leafed grasses emitted a faint white light and filled the air with a rich fragrance, contrasting with the surrounding miasma.
Using its tentacles, the black monster plucked up a small three-leafed grass from a rocky crevice and swallowed it into its stomach.
“Boom!”
The medicinal power of the Three-Leafed Little Grass was quite fierce, and when it entered the black monster’s abdomen, it immediately transformed into a jade-white liquid that merged into the black monster’s body.
“Three Leaf Sacred Qi Grass.”
Zhang Ruochen stood in the inner space of the Space-Time Crystal Stone and sensed the aura of the Three-Leafed Sacred Qi Grass, his heart ecstatic. Such a rare elixir could not be found even in a single plant in the Yunwu County Kingdom, yet so many of them grew here.
If one was able to collect ten plants of Three Leaf Sacred Qi Grass, would it not be a breeze to break through to the Great Circle of the Xuanji Realm?
If one was able to collect enough Three Leaf Sacred Qi Grass, there was even a chance that one could cultivate to the Supreme Extreme Realm of the Xuan Polarity Realm.
Zhang Ruochen couldn’t wait to take out one of the Thunder Beads, opened the Space-Time Crystal Stone by a slit, and injected his True Qi into the Thunder Bead.
With the influx of True Qi, the inscription on the surface of the Thunder Bead activated, and Zhang Ruochen’s finger flicked, throwing the Thunder Bead out of the inner space of the Space-Time Crystal Stone.
“Giggle!”
The Thunder Bead fell into the black monster’s abdomen, and a ray of lightning power escaped from the Thunder Bead.
