He pondered and followed slowly behind, but inadvertently, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a brilliant red, as if a red and orange carp had just swum across the air at the edge of his vision.

He immediately realized what it was, and a surge of joy filled his heart.

Flower Flame is here!

She did come, after all, she was one of his closest people. Hua Caiyan also had an unlimited supply of high-quality Vajra Talismans, so she had the time to choose in the spatial turbulence just now, and finally found this largest space to enter.

So now, she can hide in the shadows and launch an attack at any time.

Yun Chu'an was overjoyed, but his face remained impassive. He gestured for them to calm down and wait for the best opportunity to kill him.

Then, the orange-red carp disappeared without a trace. Yun Chuan followed carefully, and after turning a corner, what appeared before them was a magnificent palace made of crystal.

The palace was about five or six meters high, with soaring eaves and a magnificent presence, making Yun Chu'an even more impressed by the extravagance of the original owner of the storage bag.

De San was impatient and stepped onto the stairs. He had only taken two steps when a crisp voice suddenly came from the palace in front of him: "Who are you?"

The two looked up at the same time and saw a little girl, about six or seven years old and short in stature, hiding behind a pillar at the entrance of the palace, looking at them timidly.

Her appearance was exquisitely beautiful, and she wore an ill-fitting, oversized blue raincoat that covered her from head to toe. Although it looked a bit strange, it made her even more adorable.

She wore straw sandals, and although her attire was rather strange, it couldn't help but evoke a sense of pity in people.

Yun Chu'an stopped in his tracks, puzzled. How could there be a child in this palace?

Is she also one of those toads who disappeared here?

Or something else?

He scanned her with his Qi Observation Technique and discovered that the girl was also at the third level of Qi Refining. Ahead, Diao Desan dared not make a move, forcing a kind smile at the girl and whispering, "Child, don't be afraid, we are good people."

Why are you here all alone? Where is your father?

Chapter 177 Killing the Snake!

The little girl looked at him timidly, shook her head, frowned, and looked troubled: "I, I don't know."

"And what about your mother?" Diao Desan took a step up the stairs. The little girl looked distressed, but still shook her head repeatedly, extremely troubled: "I don't know, I..."

It felt as if she had been trapped here for countless days, and she was incredibly lonely. She had so much to say, and timidly spoke up, "Before we parted, they...they said..."

She looked lost in thought: "They told me to stay here quietly and not go anywhere. When the time came, they would come to find me..."

She spoke softly, then seemed weak, her body swaying as she nearly fell.

The two people on the steps had their own guesses. The girl was probably indeed a member of the Poison Toad Clan, a minor, who had probably been swept here by the spatial turbulence along with her parents.

Then, her parents told her to wait for them while they went to find a way out, and they never came back.

Rumbling--

A deafening roar echoed from the sky, followed by a tremor that shook the earth. All three paled. The little girl gazed into the distance, a look of lingering fear on her face: "It's getting more and more frequent..."

Yun Chu'an squinted at the sky, noticing that cracks had appeared there. The storage bag was already badly damaged, and it probably wouldn't be long before it completely shattered!

Diao Desi had already reached the top of the steps and guessed that the little girl posed no threat. He was too lazy to care about her anymore: "Then you shouldn't wait any longer. Your parents are dead, and no one will come to pick you up."

As he spoke, he walked straight into the palace, his eyes scanning the surroundings before suddenly lighting up.

This crystal palace may look like a palace, but it is actually just a warehouse made of special material and imbued with spiritual energy, used to store some perishable and difficult-to-preserve consumables.

For example, chalcedony.

In the center of this crystal palace stood rows of wooden shelves, displaying jade stones of varying sizes, all equally translucent and milky white. Liquid could be faintly seen flowing within these stones, clearly indicating that they were top-quality specimens that had already formed chalcedony!

They're all mine!

Overjoyed, he rushed to the shelf, picked up a piece of jade the size of a car wheel, and then froze.

Why is it so light?

empty?

In disbelief, he examined the jade stone closely and discovered a small hole in its weakest point, where the chalcedony inside had been completely sucked out.

Gone?

He stared blankly at the empty jade stone, now just a hollow shell. The cavity inside was enormous, indicating it was undoubtedly a top-grade piece containing a vast amount of chalcedony, yet…

But now there's nothing left inside?

Anxiety rose in De San's heart. He then went to the side, picked up another jade stone to examine it, and found that, sure enough, it was empty as well!

He then checked several more, and with each confirmation, anger rose within him, causing him to clench his teeth and his eyes to bulge with rage!

Who stole my chalcedony?!

He abruptly turned his head, his eyes bloodshot, and stared at the pitiful little girl, growling, "Where did the jade marrow go?"

The little girl was taken aback, then said in a pitiful voice, "I, I'm hungry."

"There was no food here, so when I got hungry, I ate it all."

She spoke softly, but what she said made Diao Desan completely disbelieve: "All of these, so much jade marrow, you ate them all by yourself?!"

The little girl seemed oblivious to his anger, or perhaps she was stunned, and blankly admitted, "Um... because it's delicious, and no matter how much I eat, I'm never full, so..."

She touched her tummy with her little hand: "I just... ate a little too much..."

This seemed to explain why she possessed such cultivation at such a young age, but Diao Desan didn't care about that. His anger was beyond measure; this gluttonous little brat had actually sucked all of his treasures clean!

but……

He stared at the girl, a murderous intent emanating from his heart.

Her cultivation level is only so-so. Perhaps there is still a lot of jade marrow in her body that she has not had time to digest. If we eat her now and swallow her directly, perhaps we can still make up for some of the losses!

That’s it!

You ate my chalcedony!

Diao Desan growled, his eyes fixed on the girl, "Then you'll have to pay the price for your greed!"

He strode towards the little girl. He had already eaten too many poisonous toads, so eating one more wouldn't bother him at all.

However, while his attention was entirely focused on the little girl, behind him, Yun Chu'an, who had been waiting for a long time, finally got the opportunity he wanted!

His hand touched the ring on the middle finger of his right hand, and he gave a signal to the shadow beside him.

It's time to take action!

A stream of spiritual energy was channeled into it, and suddenly, a bone-chilling, icy sword aura shot out from the ring, almost severing the snake demon in half!

Ahead, Diao Desan, whose eyes were red and who was facing the little girl, panting heavily and trying to kill her, suddenly felt his hair stand on end!

Without any hesitation, at that moment he surrendered his body entirely to his instincts, using all his strength to leap to the side—

hum-

A milky-white protective light suddenly shone from his body—his personal life-saving item. But this seemingly solid protection proved utterly fragile before the sword energy; its astonishingly cold light instantly sliced ​​through most of his body!

Instantly, his right arm and most of his waist were severed, his forearm falling to the ground, leaving only his upper arm hanging limply from his shoulder. A torrent of blood gushed from his side and upper arm, splashing onto the ground, followed by the man's piercing scream: "Ah—!"

His body crashed to the ground, the excruciating pain nearly shattering his will. The snake demon's eyes turned bloodshot as he turned to look at Yun Chu'an: "Traitor!"

"I knew you were untrustworthy, you rat! I'll eat you first, then I'll eat her!"

He roared, and his body began to deform, growing longer and larger. In the blink of an eye, he became a terrifying giant python seventy or eighty meters long. His huge eyes, as big as lanterns, were filled with hatred as he stared at Yun Chuan, wishing he could devour him alive on the spot!

He looked imposing, but the fatal wound on his side revealed that he was actually close to death!

Yun Chuan was not surprised. After all, the opponent's cultivation level was higher than his own, and this was the first time he had used this ring to launch an attack. It was normal that he could not kill him directly.

Chapter 178 The Death of Tokuzo

Yun Chu'an remained calm; he had more than just this as a backup plan.

He leaped into the depths of the Crystal Palace, but his eyes remained fixed on the python. Its calm expression chilled De San to the bone. He suddenly felt as if the other had become the hunter, and he was the prey.

How laughable! A mere fifth-level Qi Refining mouse dares to challenge me?!

Come into my stomach!

Enraged by his own nervousness, he immediately leaned forward, ignoring the still bleeding wound on his abdomen, and opened his mouth to devour it!

Yun Chu'an hid behind the shelves. Confident in his strength, he rammed into the shelves, but these seemingly fragile wooden shelves were as solid as mountains and did not budge at all.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Yun Chuan turned and used his "Shrinking the Earth to an Inch" technique, instantly running more than ten meters sideways and advancing along the aisles between the shelves. Diao Desan was even more furious. These seemingly fragile shelves were actually so sturdy, but he knew that a direct collision would be ineffective, so he could only suppress his anger and chase after them, weaving between the shelves.

Thus, his massive body lay sprawled in the center of the palace. The gruesome wound on his abdomen was thus displayed horizontally before everyone's eyes.

Yun Chuan glanced at the top of the shelf out of the corner of his eye. A red phantom flashed by, and he knew that Hua Caiyan was in place. A glint flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly stopped, as if exhausted. He stood there panting and no longer moved.

The snake demon was overjoyed, opened its blood-red maw, and swallowed him whole. Yun Chu'an activated his Golden Body Talisman, making himself indestructible, but he too inevitably ended up in the snake demon's mouth.

Diao Desan attempted to swallow him, to swallow him into his stomach and digest him directly with strong acid.

However, this also stopped the bleeding from his side wound, leaving him like a live target displayed on the floor in the center of the Crystal Palace, waiting to be attacked.

Then, in the next moment, Hua Caiyan made her move.

She had been waiting for this moment for far too long; ever since she entered this world, she had been preparing with utmost care.

After receiving Yun Chuan's coded message, she was startled but did not intend to object. Instead, she planned for this moment, perfecting every detail to increase the probability of success for the operation.

Her nerves had been on edge the whole time, and finally, the opportunity to make her move had arrived.

So, she poured out all her strength, gathering her spiritual power into the throwing knife in her hand, and suddenly threw it at the wound on Diao Desan's side waist!

If he was still wary of Yun Chuan's possible sneak attack before, he was completely unprepared for Hua Caiyan's sneak attack at this moment!

Even if he did, given his current enormous, clumsy, and stationary state, he would have no strength left to dodge!

The throwing knife pierced his waist and then went through him from the other side. This terrifying behemoth was actually cut in half by the throwing knife!

"Ugh—Ouch—Ah—!"

The intense pain of being cut in half surged into his mind, causing his life force and spiritual power to drain away, making him unable to restrain himself any longer and letting out a miserable scream.

He had been holding Yun Chu'an in his mouth, trying to use immense pressure to crush him into a pulp, but unfortunately, he could no longer exert any force at this moment.

Just then, the golden body talisman's effect ended, and the latter's body returned to its original form from being indestructible. Yun Chu'an was standing right at the snake's throat. He held his breath, enduring the stench coming from its throat, and channeled his spiritual power to strike, delivering a powerful elbow strike to the snake's upper jaw!

"vomit--"

Although this attack from a Qi Refining Level 5 cultivator wasn't particularly heavy for a Qi Refining Level 9 serpent, it became the final straw that broke the camel's back.

Diao Desan gagged and spat him out of his throat. Then his body shrank rapidly. In no time, his severed upper and lower body returned to about ten meters in length, just like an ordinary python!

He was far from being a truly powerful snake demon at the Foundation Establishment stage, and could not maintain his enormous size indefinitely.

He simply used a technique to grow larger, temporarily maintaining a size several times larger than his original form, thus increasing his strength and stamina several times over.

But now, with him critically injured and on the verge of death, he was immediately reduced to his original form and could no longer maintain his previous imposing state.

"call……"

Yun Chu'an steadied himself and took deep breaths. This was his first time facing an enemy at the ninth level of Qi Refining, and it was impossible for him not to be nervous.

If anything goes wrong, both he and Hua Caiyan will be in grave danger.

Fortunately, the worst-case scenario did not occur. Now, the giant snake that had been doubting him had no room for resistance.

The python lay on the ground, its eyes wide open, its vertical pupils fixed on Yun Chu'an. Knowing it was powerless to change the situation, even though its heart was filled with resentment, it asked, "Who...who are you—"

Yun Chu'an was too lazy to waste words with him, so he gave a wink to the side, signaling Hua Caiyan to take action and deal with the situation directly.

brush--

The throwing knife flew from the side and pierced his head. Before he could even utter his last words, he was dead.

Safe.

With a long sigh of relief, Yun Chu'an leaned against the nearby shelf, panting heavily.

Behind him, a dazzling display of colors suddenly appeared, and Hua Caiyan walked up to him, anxiously taking his arm: "Are you alright? Are you okay? I was terrified when I saw you being swallowed by that guy..."
