85: New intelligence: the power of the Beast Bone Sword!

"Holy crap, what the hell is this thing!"

Chen Xian used all his Spiritual Qi to barely block the monster's attack with his Vajra Sword.

"Da Huang!"

From the heaven concealing mirror at his waist, Da Huang leapt out.

He lunged straight at the monster, biting and tearing at it.

With Da Huang attacking, the pressure on Chen Xian decreased significantly.

"Moon Demon, what is that thing?"

Chen Xian looked at the thing fighting with Da Huang with lingering fear.

"Interesting, I didn't expect this thing to be in this place."

The White Cat spoke in human tongue.

There was a hint of pleasant surprise in its voice.

"What exactly is it?"

"Ancient records state that there are strange beasts in the sea with human faces and fish bodies, living in water like fish and possessing immense strength... they are called Jiaoren!"

"This thing is most likely a Jiaoren!"

Chen Xian shook his numb arm.

"Does it have any natural enemies or weaknesses?"

"None; they are nearly invincible in the water. Back then, I dreamed of ruling the seas and tried to find these Jiaoren to bring under my command, but I never heard anything. I didn't expect to see one today!"

The Moon Demon sighed with emotion.

Times had changed.

Back then, he wanted to recruit it as a capable subordinate.

Now, he was just a remnant soul trapped inside the body of a White Cat.

Merely lingering on the brink of death.

However, Chen Xian did not empathize with the Moon Demon at this moment.

Right now, Da Huang was losing ground.

If he didn't think of something soon...

...he feared they would all die here.

Just then.

The System's notification sound echoed in Chen Xian's mind.

[Ding! Daily Intelligence has been refreshed!]

Holy crap, a whole day has passed already?

Or does time flow differently in this Secret Realm compared to the outside?

[Daily Intelligence 1: The Jiaoren in the Lake Bottom Secret Realm can be subjugated using the Shark Bone Sword!]

The Shark Bone Sword!

Chen Xian's eyes lit up when he saw this intelligence!

Holy crap!

Why didn't he think of that?

Among the twelve beast bone swords, he had always been using the elephant bone sword.

One of them really did seem to come from a marine Yao Beast!

He tapped the heaven concealing mirror.

The twelve beast bone swords all flew out.

When the Moon Demon saw this, he instinctively blurted out, "Holy crap!"

Chen Xian didn't pay attention; he hurriedly pulled out the sword with the word "Shark" engraved on its bone!

The moment he took it out!

Chen Xian's Aura underwent a sudden change.

At the same time, a burst of chilling Killing Intent erupted from his body.

Elemental suppression.

It caused the Jiaoren, who was locked in combat with Da Huang, to freeze for a moment.

Immediately after, its body actually began to tremble.

Holding the Shark Bone Sword,

Chen Xian felt his consciousness beginning to blur; everything within his sight turned red.

"I really want to... kill someone!"

No sooner had he spoken,

than he vanished from his spot.

When he reappeared, he was already standing right in front of the Jiaoren.

He slashed at the Jiaoren with his sword.

Puchi!

The defense that the Vajra Sword couldn't break was like tofu before the Shark Bone Sword, easily sliced open by Chen Xian.

Then, his sword hacked at the Jiaoren frantically.

Although the attacks were simple slashes, every strike was wide and powerful.

In just a few rounds, the Jiaoren was covered in wounds.

Thud.

It knelt before Chen Xian.

With bloodshot eyes, Chen Xian raised his sword, just about to decapitate it.

"Wait!"

The Moon Demon let out a startled shout!

It caused Chen Xian's heavy mind to suddenly snap back to clarity.

He looked at the Jiaoren in front of him, and before he could react,

the Moon Demon shouted, "It's begging for mercy! Quickly, make it recognize you as its master!"

"Jiaoren are extremely hard to find, and they don't beg for mercy easily. Hurry up, don't let it escape!"

Chen Xian instinctively flicked his finger.

A drop of essence blood slowly merged into the Jiaoren's body!

A connection was established between the human and the beast.

From now on, with a single thought from Chen Xian, the Jiaoren would die without a place for burial.

Seeing that the master-servant relationship had been established,

the Moon Demon breathed a sigh of relief.

He said slyly, "Kid, I can help you get good stuff in the Secret Realm. But I have only one request: hand this Jiaoren over to me!"

He hoped to survive, and if he recovered to the Quasi-Saint level in the future to challenge the rank of Immortal Emperor,

this Jiaoren would be of great use!

Chen Xian sneered.

"Fine, but if I don't survive this Secret Realm, you won't get out either!"

"I know, I know!"

The Moon Demon agreed repeatedly.

Clearly, this Jiaoren meant a great deal to him.

Chen Xian didn't care much about the Jiaoren; instead, he looked at his scarred right hand.

The sword in his hand still emitted a thick scent of blood and Killing Intent!

"This sword..."

"Kid, this sword of yours is quite extraordinary."

The Moon Demon said seriously, "A beast bone sword is a sword polished from the bones of a Yao Beast. The sword's attributes are closely related to the behavior and habits of the Yao Beast when it was alive!"

Chen Xian understood this point.

For example, his elephant bone sword felt incredibly heavy when held.

The sword moves it produced were all related to giant elephants!

"Could this be polished from the remains of a shark?"

The Moon Demon said cautiously, "I'm afraid it's more than that. Even I am frightened by the Killing Intent on this sword!"

"This Yao Beast must have been an extremely ominous creature in life!"

Chen Xian's heart skipped a beat.

For a sword to be called an ominous object and viewed with such caution and dread by someone as wicked as the Moon Demon...

...how ferocious must those remains have been when alive?

"Especially this sword; when you used it, your will must have been manipulated by it!"

Chen Xian thought back to that murderous urge he felt when he picked up the sword.

He swallowed hard.

"Alright, let's catch up with the main group first!"

It's not safe to be here alone after all.

Chen Xian put away the sword.

He gave the Jiaoren a black cloak.

With the man and beast, plus Da Huang leading the way,

they sped toward the distance.

At the same time.

At a cliff within the Secret Realm.

Over a hundred young Disciples stood there, watching the water rushing nearby as it flowed down into an endless abyss.

Each of them felt a chill in their hearts!

It wasn't that they hadn't been to a Secret Realm before,

but for this Lake Bottom Secret Realm to have such a waterfall with an endless abyss below...

...it was truly an eye-opening sight for them.

Finally, someone couldn't take it anymore and said, "We can't just wait here forever. Shouldn't we find a way to get across?"

"Exactly. Maybe the Opportunities and treasures are all on the other side of the abyss!"

"But this abyss... just looking at it sends chills down one's spine. It's definitely not something that can be crossed easily!"

One of the youths stepped forward.

"I don't believe in such nonsense! Let me try!"

He took a paper boat from his robe and blew a breath of air onto it.

The paper boat gradually grew larger and floated in mid-air.

Immediately following that,

he sat on it and steered directly toward the abyss.

"As expected of a Prodigy from the Southern Continent's Qinghua Sect; his first move is a Heaven Rank flying Magic Treasure!"

"If I'd known, I would have asked to ride on his boat!"

As for the youth sitting on the boat, he laughed loudly and said, "Everyone, I'll be taking the Opportunities first!"
