156: Blood Purification Beads

Xu Le took the skill book and equipment he received and began to examine them.

【Skill Book】Blazing Blue Lotus

【Skill Description】Consumes 1,800 Mana to weave a blue fire lotus. The purer the spirit, the more realistic the lotus, and the more powerful the explosion.

【Grade】Legendary

【Equipment Requirements】Spirit ≥ 12,000, Agility ≥ 8,000

【Galaxy Stealth】Silent and invisible. Can instantly teleport to any location within one meter of the "Slender Cloud Hairpin," and can return to the previous position within five seconds.

The damage description for "Blazing Blue Lotus" was unclear, but based on the mana consumption, it was a decent skill.

However, the Flying Star Hairpin was a bit underwhelming.

The added attributes weren't much, and its only top-tier skill required the "Slender Cloud Hairpin" to work, making it feel somewhat useless.

"You're not being honest, are you?" Xu Le said with a faint smile.

Tang Yunjing's mouth felt bitter: "This is life-saving divine gear. If I had any other equipment, I definitely wouldn't be willing to part with it. The Slender Cloud Hairpin is in Wu Zheyuan's hands; I couldn't give it to you even if I wanted to."

Xu Le nodded. Tang Yunjing felt relieved, only to see the other party raising two golden hammers and smashing them down at him.

The fist-sized frog Clone was violently smashed by hammers several times larger than its body.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In just three hits, the hard frog body was smashed into fragments. Tang Yunjing's stored Spirit lost its support and turned into a stream of light, flying into the distance.

Xu Le raised his hand and cast a "Chain Lightning." The extremely yang and fierce lightning struck the Spirit fragments, turning them into ashes.

Tang Yunjing: "..."

Xu Le: "A real man keeps his word. Since I accepted payment to kill you, I'll make sure not even your ashes remain."

He inserted the Flying Star Hairpin into his hair. The additional attributes weren't high, but there weren't many head accessories to begin with. Plus, the 5% cooldown reduction wasn't very useful for ordinary skills, but it was quite helpful for skills with extremely long cooldowns like "Destiny Link" and "Reapers Scythe."

Then he crushed the "Blazing Blue Lotus" skill book to learn it, adding another new skill to his arsenal.

Xu Le followed the call coming from the contract slot and rushed forward, wanting to see exactly what kind of pet was calling him... Blue Star.

Tang Yunjing opened his eyes. His body kept making dodging movements, his expression filled with panic.

The expressions of Heavenly Leader Star and Heavenly Secret Star were equally grim.

To better communicate with Xu Le, they had all used Soul synchronization just now. It was equivalent to watching a live broadcast on a VCR, and at critical moments, they could even kick away the Clone and take over themselves.

As a result... they didn't have time to exit the synchronization and watched themselves get killed, which inevitably left a shadow in their hearts.

The two originally felt they were miserable, but seeing Tang Yunjing's dazed and panicked expression, they felt a slight sense of relief.

The two asked in unison: "What happened?"

"Damn it, Xu Le isn't human!" Tang Yunjing almost burst into tears... Three months later.

Xu Le went all out following the call in his heart. He didn't know how many kilometers he had run, but the call always seemed to be just a short distance ahead.

Suddenly, he discovered a fight ahead.

A Void Tanuki, a Void Red Flood Dragon, and a Void Coiled Turtle were attacking each other, seemingly fighting over something.

"That's mine! If you don't give it to me, I'll kill you!" The Tanuki licked its paws, its squinted eyes searching for a weakness in the Red Flood Dragon.

A being that legendary tales said could Incarnation into a Dragon now had no dignity in front of the Tanuki, appearing even somewhat cowering.

Xu Le chuckled inwardly. In reality, a cat's speed is seven times that of a snake; when encountering small to medium-sized snakes, they can almost always handle them with ease.

The Red Flood Dragon tried to reason: "The blood purifying bead is mine, and it can only promote the evolution of snakes. Why are you trying to steal it?"

The Coiled Turtle sneered: "You and I are both of the Dragon lineage. Why should the blood purifying bead only be useful to you?"

"This bead was left to me by my elders; of course it only works on snakes!" the Red Flood Dragon said indignantly.

"Hmph, whatever I set my eyes on is mine. Submit to me, and when I'm tired of playing with it, I'll naturally return it to you. Don't be so stingy."

The Tanuki arched its body, stretched, and continued licking its paws disdainfully.

Xu Le's heart stirred. If it could promote snake evolution, wouldn't it be very useful for the Little Black Snake?

It had to be said that having a physical form, being able to understand the language of Void Creatures, and gaining another Opportunity was a plus.

Like a simple old fisherman, he held a fishing net and hid to the side, quietly waiting for the snipe and clam to fight.

The charm of the "blood purifying bead" was great. While the Tanuki and the Coiled Turtle were arguing, the Red Flood Dragon suddenly lunged to bite.

The Tanuki just "sneered," its body unmoving as it raised a small paw and slapped the Red Flood Dragon's head.

Then, with a light leap, it nimbly dodged the subsequent constriction and slapped the Red Flood Dragon's head again.

The movements were smooth as flowing water, like a dance. Every time it reached out its paw, it could easily pin down the Red Flood Dragon.

The Coiled Turtle watched from the side, quietly waiting for its chance.

Seeing the Tanuki slap the Red Flood Dragon's head away again and go for the vital seven-inch spot, the turtle suddenly lunged and bit, successfully taking a mouthful of cat fur.

The three Void Creatures fought together, becoming increasingly inseparable. Under the cooperation of the Coiled Turtle and the Red Flood Dragon, the Tanuki fell into a disadvantage and was bitten several times.

Just as Xu Le was preparing to enter the fray, the Coiled Turtle suddenly dealt a heavy blow to the Red Flood Dragon.

The result was the injured Tanuki and the Red Flood Dragon cooperating to attack the Coiled Turtle.

Time passed slowly. Xu Le used his Divine Eye and discovered that the health bars of the three Void Creatures only had about twenty to thirty thousand left.

The three Void Creatures finally realized the problem; if they continued to fight like this, they would most likely all perish together.

The Tanuki spoke first: "Forget it, the blood purifying bead is useless to me. You two can fight over it."

It arched its body, intending to leave with a leap.

The Red Flood Dragon suddenly lunged, launching another sneak attack on the Tanuki.

"You're not good enough, not with that speed..." The Tanuki gave a contemptuous swipe, hitting the snake's head again. Before it could finish speaking, the Coiled Turtle also lunged, following up with a sneak attack.

This time, the speed was extremely fast yet silent, biting directly toward the Tanuki's neck.

The three Void Creatures were once again locked in combat.

Xu Le seized the timing and cast the skill "Blazing Blue Lotus."

A large amount of mana vanished, and a blue lotus blossomed in the battlefield of the three Void Creatures.

A flower bud abruptly appeared from the Void Realm, silent and still.

However, the gathering of fire elements still caught their attention, and they stopped their fight in unison to look at the bud.

In an instant, the flower bloomed.

Blue petals suddenly exploded outward.

The intensely compressed, violent fire elements erupted. The terrifyingly high temperature made their scalps tingle before it even reached them.

Run, run, run... The three Void Creatures were all fast, but how could they compare to the speed of a flower blooming?

The Red Flood Dragon and the Coiled Turtle had just turned around when they were turned into blue fireballs.

The Tanuki had the fastest reaction. Sensing Xu Le's presence, it immediately sent out a thought of submission.
