18: Chapter 18 A Demise of a Ferocious Beast Comes to Steal the Fountain of Youth? Perfect timing, I, the Nine Nether Hound, am hungry.

"Shi Hao, this kid really needs some discipline."

Wang Teng crouched down, looking directly into Yun Xi's tear-filled purple eyes.

"Since I have promised Princess Huo Linger to let you stay by her side as a maid, I will seek justice for you."

After saying this, Wang Teng turned his head, a cold light shooting from his dual pupils, aiming straight at Shi Hao.

"Bear Kid, hand over the earring, and give half of the undying spring to Yun Xi for her healing."

"Otherwise, I will hang you on that crooked tree over there and let you taste what it's like to have the Nine-Nether nether wind blow on your butt."

Shi Hao shrank his neck, knowing that his "Brother-in-law" was truly a ruthless person who had opened the Ten Heavenly Passages.

If they really started fighting, his few Kunpeng Technique moves wouldn't be enough to handle it.

"I'll give it, I'll give it, why be so fierce..."

Shi Hao muttered, reluctantly taking out a purple earring that still held some body heat from his bosom and throwing it to Wang Teng.

Afterwards, he fished out a jade jar and, feeling pained, poured out half of the spirit liquid that was emitting golden light.

Wang Teng took the earring and casually handed it to Princess Huo Linger, signaling her to help Yun Xi put it on.

Afterwards, he looked at Yun Xi and said in a deep voice:

"Take the undying spring first. The true 'source of the undying spring' deep within Baiduan Mountain is about to open."

"When the time comes, I will take you and Princess Huo Linger inside together."

"What Shi Hao snatched from you, I will make him pay you back double from other treasure vaults."

Yun Xi held the recovered earring, looking at the Nine-Nether Ao who, although overbearing, was unexpectedly reasonable.

The fear in her heart had faded significantly without her realizing it.

Especially when she saw this monster, who had previously been able to tear apart a god's decree, looking somewhat at a loss right now because of a mutter from Princess Huo Linger.

She discovered that this man did not seem as terrifying as the legends said.

"Alright, since the truth is out, stop crying."

Wang Teng stood up, waving his large hand, and a gentle spirit energy lifted the two women.

"Tomorrow morning, we will go raid the nests of those pure-blooded creatures."

"Princess Huo Linger wants spirit herbs, Yun Xi wants precious artifacts, and as for Shi Hao..."

Before Wang Teng could finish his sentence, a sudden gust of wind, carrying a thick, fishy stench, violently tore through the tranquility of the lakeside.

"As for this Bear Kid, leave him to me as an appetizer!"

A thunderous roar exploded from the depths of the dense forest. Immediately after, the earth trembled, and ancient trees collapsed in rows.

That was not the power of nature, but the terrifying pressure brought by several pure-blooded creatures arriving together.

The unique aura of longevity from the undying spring held a more fatal temptation for these pure-blooded descendants stuck in a bottleneck period than their own lives.

"That is... a pure-blooded Bi Fang!"

Yun Xi exclaimed, her face instantly turning pale.

She saw a one-legged giant bird wreathed in cyan divine fire diving down from the sky.

Its wingspan was over a hundred meters, and every flap caused the lake water below to instantly boil.

"And a Li Dragon! That is a collateral descendant of the ancient True Dragon!"

On the other side, a giant dragon covered in blue scales, dozens of zhang long, coiled atop the mountain peak.

Its huge dragon eyes were full of greed and killing intent, staring fixedly at the half-jar of undying spring in Shi Hao's hand.

Besides these, there was also a Zhuhai with golden, brilliant light resembling a divine Hou, and a Suanni (pure-blooded) stepping on lightning.

A full four pure-blooded creatures!

In the outside world, any one of them would be enough to destroy an ancient kingdom, yet here they were gathered together, just to compete for that heaven-defying fortune.

"A human? And another one... Hmm?"

"A guy whose bloodline I can't see through?"

That Li Dragon looked down from above, exhaling two streams of white dragon breath from its nostrils, its voice like a booming bell.

"Hand over the undying spring, and I will leave your corpses intact. Otherwise, this Baiduan Mountain will be your burial ground!"

Shi Hao swallowed hard; although he was a fearless Bear Kid, facing four adult pure-blooded creatures, he also felt his scalp go numb.

He subconsciously gripped his broken sword and shuffled a few small steps to Wang Teng's side:

"Brother-in-law, this seems... to have gotten too big? Should we share some with them?"

"Share?"

Wang Teng slowly raised his head, and in those deep human eyes, the original calmness was shattering bit by bit.

Replacing it was a heart-palpitating, extreme greed.

He looked at the Bi Fang in the sky, looked at the circling Li Dragon, as if he were looking at a sumptuous feast.

"Shi Hao, remember this."

Wang Teng stuck out his tongue and licked his somewhat dry lips, his voice hoarse and deep.

"In the Nine-Nether Ao's cookbook, there has never been the word 'share', only... eating it all."

"Roar—!!!"

Without any warning, Wang Teng's body suddenly exploded with a thick, impenetrable black mist.

This black mist was not ordinary; it was Nine-Nether nether energy, possessing the terrifying attribute of corroding all things and freezing souls.

The four pure-blooded creatures, who had been arrogant just a moment ago, felt their hearts contract sharply the instant the black mist erupted.

That was the suppression from the source of their bloodline.

That was the absolute deterrence of a superior predator against an inferior prey.

"Thump!"

A giant claw covered in black-gold scales, with nails as sharp as heavenly blades, crushed the earth as it emerged from the black mist.

Following it was a ferocious and majestic wolf head, with three upright dual pupils emitting a scarlet blood light in the darkness, like a lighthouse from hell.

Then, nine tails, hundreds of zhang long, with dragon heads at the ends and wreathed in hellfire, spread out behind him like a peacock's tail, obscuring the moonlight of the entire sky.

The Nine-Nether Ao, original form descended!

"This... what kind of monster is this?!"

That pure-blooded Bi Fang let out a shrill scream, its originally arrogant flames actually trembling in the face of the Nine-Nether evil aura.

"This kind of aura... does not belong to the Eight Regions! This is... one of the Ten Primordial Evils?!"

"Run!!"

The Li Dragon, though greedy, had the sharpest intuition.

It felt the threat of death, a sense of despair it had never felt even when facing an adult pure-blooded True Dragon.

It flicked its dragon tail, intending to tear through the void and escape.

"Since you've come, let's all reunite in my stomach."

Wang Teng's voice, as if coming from the Nine-Nether hell, echoed between heaven and earth.

"Ten Heavenly Passages—Air Prohibition!"

Hum!

Ten pitch-black heavenly passages appeared behind Wang Teng, instantly merging into a huge black curtain.

The spatial laws within a hundred miles were instantly tampered with, and the Li Dragon that had wanted to break through the air and leave actually slammed into an invisible air wall, bumping its head until it was dizzy.

"The first one, roasted chicken wings."

Wang Teng moved.

His speed was fast to the extreme, and his massive body actually left a black afterimage in the air.

Before the Bi Fang could even spray its divine fire, it saw a bloody mouth expanding rapidly in its field of vision.

"Snap!"

A bone-cracking sound that set one's teeth on edge rang out.

Wang Teng bit down on the Bi Fang's neck in one go.

That cyan divine fire, which could burn mountains, was like a joke in the Nine-Nether Ao's mouth.

It didn't even scald one of Wang Teng's teeth before being forcibly extinguished by the surging Nine-Nether nether energy.

"Chirp—!!"

The Bi Fang screamed, its wings flapping wildly, trying to break free.

"Too noisy."

Wang Teng's eyes were cold, and one of the tails behind him suddenly shot out.

The dragon head opened its mouth and bit down on one of the Bi Fang's wings, tearing it with force!

"Rip—"

Blood spilled like a waterfall. That was the precious blood of a pure-blooded creature, every drop containing astonishing divinity.
