62: Chapter 62: Instant Kill! Magma Underground

Not long after, the group landed in front of Xia Wudao, bowing and saying, "Your Highness, the person has been brought."

Xia Wudao was quite surprised; things had gone unexpectedly smoothly. He nodded, walked up to Jiang Xuan, and scanned him with his Divine Sense. Jiang Xuan's Qi Sea was chaotic, and his Dantian was empty, confirming that his cultivation had indeed been crippled.

He sneered at Jiang Xuan, "Jiang Xuan, it seems I overestimated you. I thought you had some real ability, sending over a dozen Spirit Connection Perfection cultivators to capture you. And this is all it took to defeat you?"

He leaned close to Jiang Xuan's face, staring into his eyes, his tone chilling, "I truly don't understand where you got the courage to oppose me, or what that old man, King Chu, saw in you."

Jiang Xuan lowered his eyes, not uttering a word. Xia Wudao, thinking Jiang Xuan was afraid, continued, "I told you I would make your life worse than death! Now that you've fallen into my hands, do you regret choosing to oppose me, hmm?"

"Oh, right, I heard you have a Family. Heh heh, don't worry, I won't kill you now. After the assessment, I will personally make a trip there and let you watch your own clansmen die one by one before your eyes!"

Chilling and malicious words came from Xia Wudao's mouth. Jiang Xuan looked up, his expression instantly showing panic and helplessness. Xia Wudao watched Jiang Xuan's reaction with satisfaction and burst into laughter, "Hahahaha... Jiang Xuan, you're scared, aren't you? This is the consequence of opposing me!"

After speaking, he instructed the people beside him, "Guard him well for this Crown Prince!"

"Yes!"

Lan Hai, who was nearby, asked curiously, "Who is this person?"

Xia Wudao dismissively replied, "Just a piece of trash."

Lan Hai smiled, glanced at Jiang Xuan, and no longer paid attention. A person whose cultivation had been crippled was not worth his concern; he was merely a little curious.

"Since that's the case, Brother Xia, Brother Zhao, let's go down!"

With that, the three simultaneously released their Dharma Idol Qi, and a faint barrier instantly appeared around their bodies, enveloping them.

Immediately after, they jumped together into the magma cave. Jiang Xuan watched the three disappear into the cave entrance. His previously panicked expression had vanished. He slowly stood up and walked to the edge to observe.

Xia Wudao's subordinates saw Jiang Xuan stand up and immediately shouted, "Boy, who told you to stand up? Sit down!"

Jiang Xuan ignored him, continuing to observe the magma cave entrance.

"Hey, you brat, you don't understand, do you?" Someone approached, intending to teach Jiang Xuan a lesson.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Xuan suddenly turned his head, his expression icy. He struck out with his palm, and the person who spoke instantly turned into a bloody mist!

The remaining few quickly recovered, facing him as if confronting a formidable enemy, "How is this possible... you weren't crippled?"

Jiang Xuan looked at them with disdain, "You few, you think you can cripple my cultivation?"

"Wishful thinking."

"Then how did you..." One of them seemed to realize something, his tone filled with terror, "You did it on purpose!"

"Correct, but no prize."

After Jiang Xuan spoke, he struck out with another palm, obliterating all of them, leaving not a single bone! Only a pool of blood remained on the ground.

"Hiss, what a ruthless method." The other two groups of people trembled internally, looking at this scene in horror.

Jiang Xuan turned his head to look, and everyone retreated, their eyes filled with fear.

Ignoring them, Jiang Xuan went straight to the magma cave entrance, his entire body covered in Dragon scales, then leaped down.

The crowd watched Jiang Xuan disappear, sighing in relief and patting their chests, "He's finally gone. His gaze just now was too damn terrifying!"

Then, a hint of worry appeared in their eyes. Senior Brother Lan and the others were also down there. What if they encountered him? Although they believed in their Senior Brother's strength, this Jiang Xuan clearly wasn't someone to be trifled with.

Deep within the magma, Jiang Xuan walked on a path paved with flames, with scorching magma constantly flowing down the rock walls.

This environment, he estimated, only a Dharma Idol True Monarch would dare to venture into. Jiang Xuan surveyed his surroundings. He could feel a pure energy ahead, which was likely what Xia Wudao and the other two had come for.

Continuing forward, a battle fluctuation suddenly came from ahead. Due to the confined visibility deep within the magma, his Divine Sense couldn't clearly perceive the situation in the distance.

Jiang Xuan could only approach slowly. After another hundred meters, a large open area appeared ahead, and the situation finally became clear. Xia Wudao and the other two were battling a Flame Demon!

This Flame Demon was even larger than the ones Jiang Xuan had killed before, easily a hundred meters tall, wielding a giant lava hammer. It was fighting the three Dharma Idol True Bodies, not falling behind in the slightest. This strength should belong to a Demon Race Demonic Lord!

Jiang Xuan speculated in his mind, then sensed the source of the energy fluctuations. He fixed his gaze behind the Flame Demon. "That is..."

Behind the Flame Demon, above a pool of magma, a crystal emitting golden-yellow flames floated in mid-air. The magma below continuously released an endless stream of flame energy into it.

"Such pure fire-elemental energy!" Jiang Xuan's eyes gleamed. Such a treasure would definitely greatly increase his Bloodline evolution value!

Suddenly, the mysterious bone in his chest began to cheer. Jiang Xuan was startled, "You want it too?"

Ever since this bone had returned to his body, Jiang Xuan had studied it almost daily, but he had never understood its purpose.

Unexpectedly, that crystal containing pure fire-elemental energy had finally elicited a reaction from it.

Jiang Xuan glanced at the several people still locked in battle, pondering how to get his hands on the crystal.

In the distance, Xia Wudao and the other two grew anxious as they struggled to defeat the Flame Demonic Lord. The environment here was extremely disadvantageous to them, and their protective barriers couldn't last much longer.

If this continued, they would not only fail to obtain the crystal but also put their own safety at risk.

Lan Hai gritted his teeth and said to the other two, "Brother Xia, Brother Zhao, I will double the reward I promised you both earlier. Please use your full strength and help me slay this Devil Head!"

Xia Wudao and the other man hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement. Subsequently, the Dharma Idol True Bodies behind the three simultaneously released scorching light!

Xia Wudao's unique Imperial Dragon Qi was unleashed! He roared, "Imperial Heaven Finger!"

Then, the hundred-meter Dharma Idol True Body behind him pointed forward! Instantly, a massive beam of light shot towards the Flame Demonic Lord!

The other two were not to be outdone, each unleashing their strongest Divine Ability. Three destructive auras shook the entire underground space!

The Flame Demonic Lord, wielding its giant lava hammer, surged with magma power. Its massive body stood perfectly straight as it raised its hammer and smashed it down fiercely!

"Boom!" The space violently shook as the two immense forces collided instantly. Chunks of smoking rock, trailing sparks, fell from the ceiling of the underground cavern.

Xia Wudao and the other two turned pale and were sent flying backward! Their bodies slammed into the wall, then fell to the ground, their surrounding barriers cracking like spiderwebs.

The Flame Demonic Lord's massive body knelt on the ground, its flames significantly diminished.

"Good opportunity!" Jiang Xuan's expression lit up, and he shot forward! In an instant, he arrived beside the crystal, reached out, and collected it into his spatial ring.

The entire process was as fast as lightning, as if it had been rehearsed in advance!
