Taihuang Star Seal

"Heh, as expected of someone who almost died once, you've changed. You're no longer as innocent and cute as you were back then~"

Mu Zihong said sarcastically.

Seeing that the God Zhou Tianjun, whose emotions she had once toyed with, was no longer soft-hearted and fooled, she had no choice but to change her approach.

She swallowed a pill to stop bleeding and regenerate new flesh, allowing her left hand, which had been blown to pieces in her hasty attack, to gradually recover. Then she spoke slowly, "Since the 'emotional card' doesn't work on you anymore..."

"How about we make a deal?"

"If you release Jie'er, I will let you and your beloved disciple run away."

"If you still don't trust me, we can swear a blood oath."

After saying that, Mu Zihong stretched out his right hand, put his five fingers together, palm up, and made a "please" gesture, indicating that the other party was ready to take the blood oath at any time.

"Master, don't worry about me..."

Xiao Youjing said subconsciously.

Although she had been imprisoned in the underground purgatory and suffered torture for more than three hundred years, she always fantasized that her master would be like a god descending from heaven to save her from the water and fire.

But when the person she had been thinking about day and night really appeared before her...

While Xiao Youjing was delighted, she was also afraid that her presence would hinder her master's original actions, and even drag down Ding Chen and put him in danger.

"Eat it."

Ding Chen snapped his fingers and threw a pill that was glowing with a turquoise light to Xiao Youjing.

"Ah."

The latter responded lightly and swallowed it without hesitation.

"Buzz!"

The next second, Xiao Youjing's body was surrounded by mysterious light.

Large patches of bluish-red, translucent scaly crystals rapidly climbed up her body.

In the blink of an eye, she was wrapped tightly.

Mu Zihong, who had seen the entire scene, stared wide-eyed, "Is this, is this the [Crystal Core Prison Pill] of the pinnacle of the Star Realm?!"

Then the woman sneered with gloating pleasure: "Haha, I always thought you were so kind to this beloved disciple~"

"I see you're using her as a 'human flesh cauldron' for your cultivation, waiting for the right opportunity to devour her, plunder her blood, and steal her spirit!"

"Poor little girl, she foolishly endured torture for over three hundred years and still refused to submit to me."

"I feel bad for her..."

Xiao Youjing was stunned when she heard this.

Could it be that her sincerity was really misplaced?

She subconsciously retorted, "No, Master would never do this to me!"

"What a joke, why not?"

"Do you still think that the person standing before you right now is still the 'Divine Eternal Lord' who was so high-spirited and glorious over three hundred years ago?"

"He currently only has the cultivation level of the sixth level of the Great Thousand Realm."

"Only by 'eating' you and taking over the [Shi Xin Bloodline] in your body can I once again gain the possibility of soaring to the sky!"

"And you... my poor Xiao Youjing, you can't escape the fate of becoming a sacrifice after all~"

"How...how could this happen..."

Xiao Youjing was speechless for a moment.

The look she gave Ding Chen became so unfamiliar for the first time.

At this moment, Ding Chen stared coldly at Mu Zihong, who was not far away, and said word by word, "Should I say that your heart is black, so everything you see is black?"

"Or should I say that you always know how to seize every opportunity to sow discord?"

Mu Zihong sneered, "What? You dare not admit it? You are not a man..."

"puff!"

Before Mu Zihong could finish his sneering words, Ding Chen attacked without warning.

The tip of his left finger, seemingly light and airy, pierced directly through Xue Jie's vital point between his eyebrows.

Then, relying on the violent profound power that entered his mind, he brazenly shattered his entire head, killing this rebellious son who he once treated as his own son but who cruelly stabbed him in the back on the spot!

Then he waved his hand again, took off the opponent's [storage ring], dripped blood to transfer the soul, and took it for himself. Then he took out a long sword with mysterious power and made it recognize its master.

He performed this entire set of movements in one go.

It's as if everything was planned from the beginning.

"Back then, I spent a huge amount of money to get this peak-level star-level [Spectral Spear] and gave it to this rebellious son."

Ding Chen stroked the sword with a smile and said calmly, "Now it has been returned to its original owner..."

"no no!!"

Mu Zihong finally reacted.

She originally wanted to deal with the other party, try to save Xue Jie's life first, and then take it slowly.

Anyway, he has already made preparations for the backup plan. Even if he swears a blood oath with Ding Chen, he is not worried about letting the tiger return to the mountain.

But she never expected that Ding Chen would not play by the rules and kill people without hesitation!

Although Mu Zihong is not a loving mother who "loves her son as her life" in the ordinary sense, her attitude towards the life that came out of her belly is different from that towards others after all.

For a moment, Mu Zi's eyes were bloodshot and his eyes were about to burst: "I want you to be buried with my son!!"

As he said this, he attacked fiercely.

"Rumble, rumble, rumble..."

In an instant, a terrifying wave of poisonous spirits, enough to drown the entire underground purgatory, came rolling in with devastating force.

Ding Chen calmly formed a seal with one hand and swung his sword: "Split!"

With a "swish" sound, the monstrous poisonous wave was split into two in the middle and ran to the left and right.

"Even if I can't kill you right away, I'll destroy your 'Human Flesh Cauldron' first."

With this purpose in mind, Mu Zihong flipped his hand, and the poisonous wave split into two and turned its spearhead under his control, rushing towards the trapped Xiao Youjing!

This earth-shaking murderous aura made Xiao Youjing's pretty face turn pale instantly, as if she had seen the god of death waving at her.

"Perhaps this way of dying is better than being refined into a human flesh cauldron by Master and then being drained dry."

When she thought of this, Xiao Youjing closed her eyes in despair.

Unexpectedly, at the moment when the monstrous poisonous wave hit Xiao Youjing——

“Swish, swish, swish… clatter…”

They are like the tide that hits the cliffs, splashing with waves and rumbling with thunder, but in the end they can only recede in vain.

"Don't worry, with the crystal barrier formed by the [Crystal Core Prison Pill], even if another peak Great Thousand Realm expert comes along, they won't be able to break through the Star Core barrier in such a short time or hurt you in the slightest!"

"Then I can kill the enemy with ease!"

After hearing what Ding Chen said, Xiao Youjing suddenly came to her senses.

"So Master asked me to swallow the [Crystal Core Prison Pill] not to turn me into a human flesh cauldron, but to protect me with the star core barrier condensed from this pill?"

"No wonder after the Dan force took effect, it didn't gather inside the body to form a 'siege on the Dantian meridians and control the blood vessels'. Instead, it focused all the energy outside the body, forming an airtight wall of energy barrier..."

Thinking of this, Xiao Youjing was both moved and ashamed: "And I actually believed the words of that vicious woman Mu Zihong and wrongly blamed Master."

"I, I deserve to die!"
