Chapter 174 Across Mountains and Rivers, Hunting Down the Emperor of Ba!
"Na'er, if you encounter something like this again, be sure to tell me immediately." To prevent any future problems, Jiang Xiu added this reminder.
"Don't worry, don't worry, I'll listen to you, boss." Na'er nodded emphatically and said with a big smile.
"Forget it, once Qian Gu Dong Feng's mission is complete, I should hurry up and help Aunt Leng take control of the Spirit Pagoda." Jiang Xiu thought to himself. After all, Qian Gu Dong Feng's actions were too unconventional. If he did something unexpected, it would be too late to make amends.
As Na'er finished speaking, a warm silence fell over the car, while outside, the wind was biting and snow was falling heavily.
"Na'er, besides eating, is there anything else you want to do?" Jiang Xiu broke the silence and asked softly.
"Hmm..." Na'er thought for a moment, "I also want to see the mountains and rivers of this continent, and then eat all kinds of local delicacies, hehehe..."
"Of course, I know you're busy, Boss, and you have responsibilities, but it's okay. Na'er can wait. We'll go when you're strong enough in the future..."
As he listened to Na'er's soft words, ripples appeared in Jiang Xiu's deep eyes.
"Okay, when we have more free time in the future, I'll take you to see all the beautiful landscapes of this world..."
Na'er may have already been a part of his life.
He is not adept at handling relationships either.
"The important thing is the food..." Na'er added weakly.
"Alright, then let's enjoy all the delicious food from across the land." Jiang Xiu smiled slightly.
……
late at night.
Ontology.
The vermilion gate opened.
Jiang Xiu strolled inside and gently closed the door.
"Slap! Slap! Slap!"
Just as Jiang Xiu entered the main hall, he suddenly heard a strange sound coming from the courtyard next door, accompanied by low growls.
"Hmm?" Jiang Xiu raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that it was his senior brother, Aruheng, who was training his body. His thick muscles bulged, and a rich aura of blood and qi swirled around him, with crackling sounds emanating from his body like popping beans.
On a stone seat to one side, there were also seven needles containing qi and blood potions...
Hmm...hmm? Seven needles?!
Jiang Xiu was slightly taken aback when he saw this. His senior brother could now administer seven injections at once? That was terrifying.
However, seeing Aruheng immersed in body training, Jiang Xiu did not disturb him. Instead, he strolled into the main hall and took out a piece of left arm bone that was crystal clear and looked like crystal from the sack.
This soul bone is a top-tier soul bone with an age of 80,000 years. It comes from a diamond mammoth known for its absolute defense. Similarly, the diamond mammoth is a soul beast with immense power. The soul skill associated with this soul bone is extremely suitable for Aruheng's fixed soul skill.
Fixed soul skills are inherent to some top-tier soul bones and do not change depending on the soul master, just like the Ice Jade Scorpion soul bone that Huo Yuhao absorbed ten thousand years ago, which had the Ice Explosion divine skill.
After putting the soul bone away, Jiang Xiu took out another piece of paper and wrote down the details of the soul bone and its soul skills. After all, whether or not to absorb it depended on his senior brother's decision.
Afterwards, Jiang Xiu wrote down that he would be in seclusion for the next three days to cultivate and not be disturbed by outsiders.
After doing all this, Jiang Xiu returned to his room. As for the secret of his true form, he planned to tell his senior brother after he subdued Empress Ba.
Upon entering the room, Jiang Xiu found it as clean and tidy as it had been before he left. The clothes were still in the closet, but thoughtfully covered with a gauze to prevent dust from settling in. The floor was spotless, clearly having been cleaned.
After closing the door and letting Xiao Hei out, Jiang Xiu sat cross-legged on the bed, focusing his mind.
"Little Black, stay here and guard this place. No one is allowed to enter my house," Jiang Xiu instructed Dark Night Raven in a deep voice.
"Caw caw caw!" Little Black nodded slightly, its blood-red eyes filled with determination. Then it flapped its wings slightly and landed beside Jiang Xiu, guarding him like a sentry.
It knew its master had important things to do, and it had to protect this place.
"Come on, let my Shadow Legion gain another legion commander today!" Jiang Xiu took a deep breath, his purple eyes suddenly turning into blood-red pupils.
"Buzz!" A buzzing sound rang out, and in the next instant, the towering Shadow Monarch Martial Soul appeared. Jiang Xiu's consciousness instantly sank into the Martial Soul, and he seemed to sit still.
With a dark red gaze sweeping across, Little Black's sharp claws slightly extended, its eyes fixed on everything around it.
The room fell silent again.
In the courtyard outside the room, Aruheng finished his practice and headed towards the main hall.
……
The Abyss Plane.
The thirty-second floor.
"Old Ant, hasn't our lord arrived yet?" The Six-Clawed Demon Emperor paced back and forth anxiously in the Blood River God-Slaying Formation.
"Don't worry, the Lord will come," the Ant King replied calmly, as steady as an old dog, but his heart was in turmoil.
Because they received information that Ba Huang might return ahead of schedule.
"Besides, the Blood River God-Slaying Formation is right here, what are you panicking about? At worst, we can activate the formation together and still annihilate Emperor Ba." The Ant King was either comforting himself or the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor.
"That makes sense, but Ba Huang has regenerative abilities, and this is still his territory. I'm still a little nervous, since neither of us has the ability to suppress Ba Huang," the Six-Clawed Demon Emperor said with a furrowed brow.
The reason they were so confident in their ability to hunt down Emperor Ba was not only because of this weakened version of the Blood River God-Slaying Formation, but also because their master possessed something that could absolutely suppress Emperor Ba's bloodline.
Although they were curious about what could suppress the bloodline of the Ba Emperor, they still trusted their lord implicitly. However, things were getting a little bad now that their lord hadn't arrived yet.
"Look at you two, so impatient."
Just as the two were feeling anxious, a voice fell into their ears, instantly rousing them. They both looked towards a spot in the space, where a tall shadow slowly rose from the ground, its eyes gleaming with bloodlust. Wasn't this the master they had been waiting for?
"Greetings, Lord!" The Ant King and the Six-Clawed Demon King exchanged a glance and said respectfully in unison, both able to see the unease in each other's eyes dissipate.
When the Lord came, they had a clear sky!
"The setup is pretty good."
Jiang Xiu surveyed the massive Blood River God-Slaying Array, a hint of satisfaction flashing in his blood-red eyes.
The entire Blood River God-Slaying Array was like a blood-red domain, exuding a dense aura of ferocity. The numerous intricate and menacing arrays were embedded in the earth, each displaying its formidable power.
Jiang Xiu was naturally familiar with the Blood River God-Slaying Formation. The complete version of the Blood River God-Slaying Formation set up by the Demon Emperor and the Holy Spirit Cult could even withstand the strongest of the twelve-level fixed-position soul-guided cannons, the Eternal Heaven.
Although their Blood River God-Slaying Formation is a weakened version, with his Golden Dragon King essence present, it should not be difficult for them to kill Emperor Ba.
"Is the Emperor of Ba almost here?" Jiang Xiu asked softly.
"Your Majesty, according to the clansmen I have placed here, there are at most two hours left before the Emperor Ba passes by. According to the Emperor Ba's habit, he always stops here to bathe after sparring with Emperor Lie."
The Six-Clawed Demon Emperor replied respectfully, while "bathing" referred to the lake that had long since become the Blood River God-Slaying Array.
"Very good. Make sure everyone is ready. The upcoming battle will not be easy," Jiang Xiu ordered solemnly.
"Yes, sir!" Upon hearing this, the shadow soldiers who had been lying in ambush all slipped underground to make their final preparations.
Jiang Xiu, on the other hand, always held the power of [Descent].
After an unknown amount of time, a loud dragon roar suddenly came from the distant horizon, and the space above trembled. A terrifying figure, hundreds of feet tall, rushed towards this place, like a falling comet.
Upon hearing the dragon's roar, the Ant King and the Six-Clawed Demon King's expressions changed, while Jiang Xiu slowly rose from his throne, his blood-red eyes gleaming with crimson light.
