120: Hu Tao's favor, kill the bronze corpse

After dealing with the demon cultivators.

Hu Tao looked at Wang Chenkun's handsome face, and a strange feeling arose in her heart.

This young man with unparalleled looks had saved her and the other Great Ling Prodigies in her team this time.

Otherwise, under Second Prince You Xiu's monstrous demonic might and the combined attacks of other demon cultivators, the Great Ling Prodigies here would likely have been completely annihilated.

She herself would probably have been captured by Second Prince You Xiu, or forced to commit suicide to preserve her purity before being captured. In short, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

Venturing in the Immortal Gate Secret Realm relied on luck, so it was naturally impossible to guarantee absolute safety in everything.

On this trip, she had actually prepared herself for death and the dissipation of her Dao long ago.

This was unavoidable; among the Prodigies on the Great Ling Empire's side, she was originally the strongest. If she didn't come to the Immortal Gate Secret Realm to lead the team, who would?

Besides, the treasure resources of the Immortal Gate Secret Realm could not be easily given up.

Encountering Second Prince You Xiu's team of Great Underworld demon cultivators was due to her bad luck; the other party must have been summoned by the Hall of Asura assassin who specialized in stealth.

However, being saved by the greatly strengthened Wang Chenkun was her great fortune!

This also meant that the Great Ling Prodigies in the Immortal Gate Secret Realm now had an invincible expert at the Half-step Mahayana stage, which practically allowed them to walk sideways in the Secret Realm World.

Because Empress Ling Wan had informed her that the monsters in this Immortal Gate Secret Realm were restricted to a cultivation base of at most Half-step Mahayana.

Hu Tao's thoughts raced. She stepped forward and hugged Wang Chenkun, then quickly kissed his cheek, and then said with a slight blush:

"Hu Tao thanks Young Master Wang again for the rescue."

She had always been the one protecting others before. Besides her father and the Empress, when had she ever been protected by anyone else?

Moreover, this man was extremely handsome and so outstanding in strength, which made her heart flutter.

"Should I... should I just marry him and become his Dao Companion, as Dragon Princess said...?" Hu Tao's cheeks flushed slightly, her heart pounded, and she mused inwardly.

She didn't know why she suddenly had such a strange thought, but now, here, it was definitely not the right time.

However, Hu Tao's favorability towards Wang Chenkun had clearly already skyrocketed.

Now or in the future, as long as Wang Chenkun proposed to marry her, she would definitely not refuse.

Wang Chenkun gently patted Hu Tao's fragrant shoulder and smiled, "No worries, I am also a Great Ling cultivator. It's my bounden duty."

He naturally had many thoughts about this beautiful Hu Tao, but there were many people here now, and this Immortal mansion ruin had not yet been cleared, so it was naturally not the time to confess.

Hu Tao was curious about Bai Yunu behind Wang Chenkun. Bai Yunu now had a pair of fox ears on her head; her fox tail was retracted, but it was clearly visible that she was a fox demon.

Hu Tao asked, "This fox demon Senior Sister does not have the aura of our Kunling World. Could it be...?"

She vaguely sensed that Bai Yunu's cultivation aura was also extremely terrifying, even more dangerous than Second Prince You Xiu, and similar to Wang Chenkun's.

Wang Chenkun smiled and introduced her and the others, "This is Bai Yunu, a fox clan Prodigy from the Cangxuan World. She is now my Dao Companion."

On the side, Dragon Princess also quietly transmitted a message to Hu Tao, telling her that the fox girl Bai Yunu possessed the astonishing cultivation of a Half-step Mahayana.

This greatly shocked Hu Tao.

Wang Chenkun asked Hu Tao to give Bai Yunu a Great Ling Imperial Decree.

Because Wang Chenkun planned to take Bai Yunu home directly after the Immortal Gate Secret Realm trial ended.

And Bai Yunu temporarily did not want to return to the Cangxuan World fox clan.

Originally, there were no extra Great Ling Imperial Decrees, but previously in the team, a few Great Ling Prodigies were accidentally killed by the Immortal mansion monsters, and their Great Ling Imperial Decrees were naturally taken by Hu Tao.

So she had extra tokens on her person.

Hu Tao smiled and personally handed a Great Ling Imperial Decree into Bai Yunu's hand.

Bai Yunu thanked her.

Bai Yunu had just heard Dragon Princess's voice transmission saying that their husband also had thoughts about Hu Tao, and a meaningful smile couldn't help but appear on her lips.

At this moment, Senior Sister Yan Bo, Chang Xiaoshuang, and several other Senior Sisters from the Hehuan Sect walked over and greeted Wang Chenkun and Dragon Princess.

It must be said, a group of women is a show.

They enthusiastically chatted with Bai Yunu, and they quickly became familiar with each other.

The other Great Ling male Prodigies, finding it inconvenient to disturb, all sat aside and rested.

The monsters in this area had already been cleared by them, and it was very quiet here.

Bai Yunu no longer restrained her cultivation aura at this time. Everyone was amazed to see that Wang Chenkun's new Dao Companion actually had Half-step Mahayana strength.

They secretly sighed that Senior Brother Wang's good fortune with women was truly profound.

After resting for a while, everyone continued to attack this Immortal mansion ruin.

"There should be many treasures hidden within this Immortal mansion ruin."

"The location of the treasure vault should be coming soon, right?"

As they traveled, everyone observed their surroundings, killing the scattered monsters that rushed out.

Suddenly, in a distant palace, they discovered an ancient, massive stone coffin.

Thick chains were wrapped around the stone coffin.

The stone coffin seemed to blend in with its surroundings.

"Oh, there's actually a stone coffin here?"

Everyone was startled, and then they all approached the stone coffin.

Buzz!

Ripples spread on the stone coffin, blocking everyone.

"This stone coffin seems to be able to block Divine Sense detection."

"I used my Divine Sense to probe, but there was no reaction at all!"

"Could it be a heavy artifact?"

Wang Chenkun also reached out to touch the stone coffin, but was still blocked.

"There should be a dead Immortal's body inside. Let's work together to break it open first!" Hu Tao seemed to have discovered something.

The other Great Ling Prodigies nodded in agreement.

This should be the guardian monster of the treasure vault.

Without killing it, the treasure vault door would not appear.

Then everyone took action, attacking the stone coffin.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The entire space shook violently, the ground trembled, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Everyone unleashed their full power, frantically attacking the stone coffin.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a roar came from within the stone coffin.

Immediately after, a terrifying black claw stretched out from the crack of the coffin, grabbing towards everyone.

Bang!

This claw was repelled by Wang Chenkun with a single strike.

"What... what in the world is this?"

Many Prodigies were slightly alarmed and quickly retreated behind Wang Chenkun.

On the contrary, Bai Yunu, Hu Tao, Dragon Princess, Senior Sister Yan Bo, and the other women all stood by his side.

This was understandable for them, because several female Prodigies were stronger than them, and Dragon Princess, who was at the Late Stage of Void Refining, was protected by Wang Chenkun and Bai Yunu.

Wang Chenkun said calmly, "This Half-step Mahayana Immortal corpse is about to revive."

What?

A Half-step Mahayana Immortal corpse?

Upon hearing this, many Great Ling Prodigies showed nervous expressions.

"Prepare for battle!" Hu Tao ordered. She was not afraid of zombies or ghosts.

"Ow~"

A roar came from the stone coffin, corpse Qi surged, and a bronze giant corpse several zhang tall lifted the heavy coffin lid and rushed out.

"Roar—"

The bronze giant corpse's eyes were blood-red, its mouth wide open, letting out an angry roar.

Its body was covered in scales, each scale the size of a palm, gleaming with a cold light.

Most notably, two rows of sharp, pointed bone spurs grew on the bronze ancient corpse's back.

Each bone spur was like a short spear, radiating a chilling glow.

Swish!

The bronze giant corpse stepped on the Void Realm and lunged fiercely at Wang Chenkun.

"Good timing!"

Wang Chenkun was fearless. He took a step forward and charged towards the bronze ancient corpse.

"Bang!"

He threw a punch, hitting the bronze ancient corpse in the chest, sending it staggering back several steps.

"Haha, this ancient corpse is too weak." Wang Chenkun laughed heartily.

The bronze ancient corpse roared furiously, its claws grabbing at Wang Chenkun.

Swish, swish, swish!

Wang Chenkun dodged repeatedly, his figure unpredictable, moving with ease.

"Young Master Wang is too amazing." Hu Tao couldn't help but murmur as she looked at Wang Chenkun's heroic and dashing figure.

"Indeed, Wang Chenkun is very strong!" Senior Sister Yan Bo also couldn't help but exclaim.

Hu Tao, Bai Yunu, Senior Sister Yan Bo, Dragon Princess, and the other Prodigies all joined in, giving the bronze ancient corpse a good beating.

Those whose cultivation was not at the Body Integration Stage could only attack the ancient corpse from a distance to avoid being attacked by it.

And Wang Chenkun continuously made moves, attracting the monster's attention.

Although the bronze ancient corpse had a strong Physical Body, it was ultimately outnumbered and quickly became severely damaged.

Finally, Wang Chenkun split it in half with a sword, completely losing its combat effectiveness.

Its corpse soul was also scattered by his thunder.

In a corner of this palace, many Prodigies found the treasure vault door. They blasted open the iron door and rushed in.

The mountain of treasures inside stunned everyone.
