123: Chapter 123 This thing can move on its own?

As he spoke, Chen Yan slightly raised his head, his gaze turning sharp in an instant!

He pinched a sword technique with his hand and gave a light tap towards the giant fireball in the sky!

Hum!

A crisp sword hum resounded through heaven and earth, and a chilling cold capable of freezing the Soul erupted violently!

The air, previously scorching and distorted by the presence of the Fire Spirit, saw its temperature plummet instantly!

A point of ice-blue light condensed at the tip of the Flying Sword, blossoming into a brilliant radiance in an instant!

Piercing cold air swept wildly in all directions with Chen Yan at its center, and a thin layer of frost actually condensed upon the scorched red earth!

Saintess Su Wanrou stood behind Chen Yan, feeling this terrifying Sword Intent that was completely incongruous with the surrounding environment.

Her captivating, seductive eyes were filled with shock and endless infatuation at this moment.

"So strong!!!"

"As expected of the man I fancy!"

This Sword Intent was cold, pure, and overbearing!

It seemed as if it could freeze all things and extinguish every flame!

"Roar!"

The Fire Spirit also sensed a fatal threat, its roar laced with a trace of fear.

It frantically urged the fire Origin within its body, causing the giant fireball smashing towards Chen Yan to grow in size by thirty percent, the flames on its surface burning even more violently!

However, there was still not the slightest ripple on Chen Yan's face.

He watched the fireball, which was descending like a meteorite, and simply uttered a single word.

"Slash."

As his words fell.

Hum!

The Flying Sword hovering above his head transformed into a stream of ice-blue light and shot into the sky!

The sword light drew a heaven-shocking rainbow across the sky; wherever it passed, space seemed to freeze, leaving behind a clearly visible white trail.

There was no earth-shattering boom as one might expect, nor was there any terrifying collision of energy.

The ice-blue sword rainbow and the crimson fireball collided silently.

Time seemed to stand still at this moment.

The moment that massive fireball—capable of boiling seas and burning mountains—touched the ice-blue sword rainbow, the violent flames on its surface were extinguished rapidly, as if they had encountered their nemesis!

Immediately following, a thin, ice-blue line emerged from the top of the fireball and rapidly spread downwards.

Crack!

A soft sound, like a signal.

Bang!

The giant fireball was neatly split in two right down the middle, then exploded into a sky full of dancing streamers of fire—gorgeous yet deadly!

Yet, it was not over!!!

After slicing through the fireball, the ice-blue sword rainbow showed no signs of slowing down. With extreme speed and an indomitable, sharp Aura, it instantly pierced through the Fire Spirit's massive body!

"Howl!"

The Fire Spirit let out a miserable, piercing roar, its massive body of flames trembling violently.

An ice-blue sword mark appeared between its brows, piercing through its entire body.

The next second, its body, composed of magma, exploded and scattered into a sky full of scorching sparks, resembling a grand meteor shower.

The sparks drifted down, casting an even more eerie glow upon the scorched red earth, creating a scene that was both magnificent and shocking.

One strike! A single strike!

A powerful Fire Spirit with strength comparable to the Late Nascent Soul stage had been easily slain just like that!

Saintess Su Wanrou's red lips parted slightly, her seductive eyes wide with shock; she was completely stunned.

She knew Chen Yan was strong, but she never imagined he was strong to this extent!

One had to know that the Fire Spirit's previous attack had nearly shattered even her Magic Treasure!

Yet Chen Yan had killed it in seconds with just one strike!

This guy... is he really only at the Mid Golden Core Stage?

Pervert! He is a complete and utter pervert!

"Ah~ I can't take it anymore~ I feel like I'm really falling for him!"

Just as Saintess Su Wanrou stood there in a daze, shocked, Chen Yan's figure moved.

His figure flashed like a ghost, appearing where the Fire Spirit had dissipated, and he reached out to snatch something.

A fist-sized crystal core, entirely crimson and radiating pure fire-type spiritual power, along with a thumb-sized bronze fragment flickering with faint spatial fluctuations, were firmly grasped in his hand.

His eyes swept over them with a glint!

[Fire Spirit Crystal Core: Earth Rank Low Grade Materials; can be used to refine fire-attribute Medicinal Pill or Magic Treasure! Has a chance to refine a treasure containing a Fire Spirit Divine Ability!]

As for that bronze fragment, it was the Teleportation Fragment required by the Blazing Corridor!

Chen Yan felt a surge of secret joy.

This Fire Spirit Crystal Core was just right for upgrading the rank of his Flying Sword!

Before he could turn around, a fragrant breeze rushed at him from behind.

Saintess Su Wanrou had pressed up against him at some point, her seductive, watery eyes gazing at him, her gaze flowing as if it could drip water.

"Young Master~"

Her voice was charming to the bone, carrying a hint of adoration and infatuation.

"You are so amazing~"

She extended her pink, tender tongue tip and lightly licked her sexy red lips—a seemingly unintentional action, yet filled with fatal temptation.

"I was stunned just now~"

"Young Master's sword is so fast and hard, so indomitable; it truly makes my~~~ heart flutter~~~"

Chen Yan's mouth twitched.

"Damn! This enchantress is at it again!"

"What do you mean by 'fast and hard'? Are you praising my sword, or are you making dirty jokes?"

[Favorability +2!]

[Saintess Su Wanrou Favorability: 92/100!]

Chen Yan: "..."

His face darkened.

"This favorability of yours is increasing way too ridiculously, isn't it? Just because I played the hero saving the damsel, you've pushed it to ninety-two?"

If it keeps rising and hits 100, this enchantress wouldn't force herself on me, would she?

Just thinking about having such an enchantress following him everywhere, constantly acting seductive, made Chen Yan's scalp tingle.

"No! If that happens, Revered Master will be jealous!"

Saintess Su Wanrou looked at Chen Yan's worried and fearful expression; instead of getting angry, she found it extremely amusing.

She laughed until her body shook, stepped forward once more, and pressed almost her entire body against Chen Yan.

"Young Master, you saved my life; I have nothing with which to repay you..."

The breath she exhaled carried a fragrant breeze, and her voice held a hint of teasing.

"How about... I just repay you with my body~"

Chen Yan instantly shivered and subconsciously took a step back, putting some distance between them.

He said, putting on a brave front, "Enchantress! In my heart, there is only my Revered Master... my sister! Give up on this idea!"

"What a joke! You want to repay me with your body? Am I, Chen Yan, the kind of person who covets beauty? In my heart, I only have Revered Master!"

Saintess Su Wanrou looked at his desperate attempt to avoid her and burst into laughter.

She knew it would be like this.

This little man says he doesn't want it, but his body is clearly very honest.

Just a moment ago, his heartbeat had clearly accelerated!

"Alright~"

Saintess Su Wanrou pouted, pretending to be aggrieved, "Since Young Master does not fancy this humble self, then I shall not make a fool of myself."

Hearing this, Chen Yan heaved a sigh of relief.

He needed to keep this enchantress steady for now; once they left the Immortal Mansion, she couldn't possibly follow him all the way back to the Taiqing Sword Sect!

Immediately, he began to tally his current gains.

He had previously obtained a total of thirteen Teleportation Fragments from Wu Shuyan's group.

Including the one just dropped by the Fire Spirit, he already had fifteen Teleportation Fragments in his possession!

Not bad, not bad! He had only just entered, and he had already completed fifteen percent of the progress!

At this rate, he would be able to collect all one hundred in just a few days!

He felt wonderful inside, his hands constantly playing with these fragments.

But suddenly!

These fifteen Teleportation Fragments flew out on their own without any warning!

They hovered in front of Chen Yan, seemingly producing some strange resonance between them, and began to vibrate violently!

Hum! Hum! Hum!

Beams of faint light lit up from the fragments, growing brighter and brighter!

"What the hell?! What is happening?"

Chen Yan was dumbfounded.

"This thing can move on its own?"

Before he could even react.

The fifteen fragments suddenly gathered together, instantly erupting into a bronze-colored beam of light, dazzling to the extreme, which shot straight up into the clouds!

A vast spatial fluctuation, following the appearance of the beam of light, spread wildly in all directions!

Every Cultivator in the entire Blazing Corridor clearly felt this fluctuation at this moment!

Countless gazes turned in unison towards the place where the beam of light had risen!

"This fluctuation... it's the Teleportation Fragments!"

"This is the resonance that only occurs when a large number of Teleportation Fragments gather together!"

"With this beam of light shooting into the sky, just how many fragments does that kid have on him?"

"How long has it been? How could he have so many?"

In an instant, countless greedy Divine Senses, like sharks smelling blood, swept crazily towards Chen Yan's location!
