193: Life Exchange

Wang Er, who was hiding in the safety zone to watch the battle, was dumbfounded.

The biting sharpness carried by the three Sword Qi as they crossed the sky made his hair stand on end, even if it was just the aftershock sweeping past.

With such power, even if his own boss encountered it, he would likely have no chance to escape and would only meet his end on the spot!

Just what Realm is Senior Chen at?

Could he really be a Banished Immortal descended to the mortal world, idly playing in the human Realm?

But what shook his Soul even more was that Hu Chi, covered in blood with wounds deep enough to see bone and a mangled appearance that was truly terrifying, remained nailed to the spot like an iron tower.

Aside from his face becoming a bit paler, he didn't show the slightest expression of pain, as if those three Sword Qi hadn't wounded his foundation.

"Fucking Yao Race, this skin and flesh is tougher than Profound Iron!" Wang Er couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Hu Chi raised his hand to wipe the thick demonic blood from his face and grinned savagely.

"If this is all the ability you have, I advise you to stop now to avoid wasting your strength!"

As the words fell, he suddenly threw his head back and roared, making the surrounding air hum and vibrate.

The Demonic Qi around him surged again, and dense black mist surged from his wounds; his damaged Physical Body was actually healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes slightly and observed carefully!

It seemed this demonic beast's style was completely different from that of the previous Fox Demon.

The previous Fox Demon was skilled in charm techniques and subtle, treacherous Divine Abilities, with everything showing a sense of 'finesse'.

But this beast before him followed the most tyrannical path of breaking laws with brute force.

Simply put, he was just incredibly tanky!

He just needed to stack his stats.

No matter how many thousands of spells or infinite variations you have, I will take your life in the fastest and most direct way using only brute strength!

It was just a pity he had a Deity Transformation Realm Peak cultivation base.

"If his Realm were a bit lower, I could catch him and take him back to be a sparring partner for Ping'an." This thought flashed through Chen Xuan's mind.

Looking at this member of the Yao Race who withstood the Sword Qi with his Physical Body alone, a cold arc curved at the corner of his mouth.

With a quiet movement of his fingertips, the duration of the Spirit Transformation Experience Card was already less than thirty breaths.

He had no mind to keep tangling with this demonic beast any longer.

"I originally wanted to see if you had other means, but unfortunately, the timing isn't very convenient."

Chen Xuan slowly raised his right hand, with fine purple-gold thunder arcs condensing on his fingertips, crackling loudly.

In the next instant, the sky suddenly darkened!

He pointed his finger to the sky, and endless thunderclouds gathered from all directions like a tide. Within the rolling clouds, a massive Purple-Gold Thunder Dragon raised its head and hissed, each flick of its tail shaking the Void Realm as if it were about to crack, with resplendent heavenly might enveloping the fields!

Wang Er stared blankly at the thunderclouds filling the sky, his legs unable to stop trembling slightly.

This scene was like the Heavenly Tribulation descending; even though he knew it wasn't aimed at him, it still gave rise to a fear originating from his Soul.

"It's a God-Tier Divine Ability! Senior Chen's move is definitely a God-Tier Divine Ability!"

In order not to cause trouble for Senior Chen, Wang Er chose to retreat further from this place of conflict.

Hu Chi narrowed his eyes at the sky, his expression finally becoming solemn to the extreme.

He slammed his hands onto the ground, his waist arching like a tiger preparing to pounce. The ink-black Demonic Qi around him surged to the limit, and behind him, a sun-blotting Tiger Natal Demonic Aspect condensed, fangs bared and radiating fierce power!

"Nine Heavens Profound Thunder, fall!

Chen Xuan let out a low shout that sounded like a clap of thunder. The thunder arcs on his fingertips suddenly exploded, causing the thunderclouds in the sky to churn violently.

The next moment, the Purple-Gold Thunder Dragon, carrying world-destroying Divine Might, dove down from the clouds like a pillar of lightning piercing heaven and earth, striking directly at Hu Chi below!

Roar—!"

Hu Chi roared as he swung his sharp claws. The moment the demonic claws collided with the lightning pillar, a destructive energy storm instantly swept in all directions, the ground cracked, and rocks flew!

In the blazing white light of the exploding lightning, the Tiger Natal Demonic Aspect condensed from ink-black Demonic Qi instantly disintegrated inch by inch, vanishing into nothingness.

Hu Chi flew backward like a kite with a broken string, smashing heavily into a distant rock and kicking up a cloud of dust that didn't dissipate for a long time.

"How... how is this possible!"

As the dust slowly cleared, Hu Chi's flesh was already charred black, emitting wisps of black smoke. One of his legs had been completely burned to ashes by the lightning, with only the slight rise and fall of his chest proving that he hadn't yet lost his life.

At the same time, the Deity Transformation Realm pressure on Chen Xuan quietly dissipated, returning to the Nascent Soul Layer Eight cultivation base.

Fortunately, he was still in Peak condition; this Spirit Transformation Experience Card had no side effects.

Chen Xuan stepped forward slowly, looking down at Hu Chi, his voice calm and indifferent: "What exactly did you come to this Haotian Sect to find?"

Hu Chi struggled to turn his head and spat out a large mouthful of black blood. Bloody foam dripped from the corner of his mouth, and his voice was hoarse like a broken gong:

"If I tell you... will you spare my life?"

Chen Xuan looked down at him, and after a moment of silence, he slowly nodded:

"Fine. Your life is temporarily on loan to you. If I see you in this Flame Continent again next time, I will collect it myself."

Once I've squeezed the information out of you, I'll just turn around and say: I didn't expect to meet again so soon!

Hu Chi said in a pitifully small voice, "That... that thing was taken by a Cultivator from this Haotian Sect."

"Come... come closer, that thing... cannot be told to others..."

Chen Xuan was indeed curious about this demonic beast's scheme, so he leaned forward, wanting to hear his words clearly.

The moment he drew near, Hu Chi suddenly revealed a savage grin!

It was the expression of a successful scheme!

Boom!

Four streams of ink-black Demonic Qi suddenly shot up from the ground, wrapping around Chen Xuan's limbs like chains and instantly locking his body in place!

Was his injury faked?

No, that's not right! The injury is real. Could these four streams of Demonic Qi have been a hidden trap laid during the previous energy collision!

"Even if you can temporarily trap me, in your current state, can you even make a move?"

With just a thought, Chen Xuan could use another Spirit Transformation Experience Card at any time.

He just didn't want to waste it.

In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he could still break through the binding of these four streams of Demonic Qi with his own cultivation base.

He had just arrived in this Profound Realm, and before even properly dealing with the Sect, he had already spent two Spirit Transformation Experience Cards and one block card.

The only place he profited was taking a Child of Destiny as his disciple.

Hu Chi coughed violently twice and spat out more black blood, but the savage grin on his face didn't diminish at all.

"To be able to drag a Prodigy like you down with me, this deal... for my life... is not a loss!"

As the words fell, the Demonic Qi inside him surged wildly, and his body began to swell at a speed visible to the naked eye, with the surrounding space starting to warp and vibrate!

This is... he wants to self-detonate!

Is this beast really going that far?

I only wanted to wait for you to spill the information before turning on you, but you're actually trying to take me down with you!

Could it be that from the moment he saw that Purple-Gold Thunder Dragon, he already had this plan of exchanging lives?

The self-detonation of a Deity Transformation Realm powerhouse!

Its destructive power is enough to tear through mountains and rivers; even for Cultivators in the same Realm, they would need to stay far away and not dare to face its edge head-on.

After all, when strengths are equal, no one wants to provoke a madman who is willing to risk his life at every turn.

Even if one might not necessarily be killed, it would be a losing bargain if the price was a heavy injury.

Hu Chi stared intently at Chen Xuan, expecting to see an expression of panic and extreme fear on the other's face.

Yet he never expected that the white-robed figure would still stand there, his expression calm and composed, as if the impending self-detonation was nothing more than a bit of wind and frost.
