After conquering the Empress, I proved my Dao with the Heaven and Earth Spirit Furnace!

Just as Murong Xue was about to close her eyes, she seemed to sense something and quickly looked to the side.

"cut!"

Qin Chuan roared, his profound energy surging wildly within him. A red longsword appeared in his hand at some point, and he slashed at the Devouring Demon Toad.

As the strike was unleashed, a wave of energy instantly swept through the entire cavern.

This sword is the Crimson Flame Sword that Qin Chuan obtained from Gu Wenxuan. It is a mid-grade medicinal treasure with extremely strong fire attributes.

In the previous battle, Qin Chuan had already realized that fire attribute posed a great threat to the Devouring Demon Toad.

Although the rank of the Breaking Void Palm is much higher than that of the Blazing Fire Palm.

However, due to the addition of fire attribute, the Fiery Palm is actually more powerful than the Sky-Piercing Palm.

Therefore, Qin Chuan immediately thought of the Crimson Flame Sword.

When Gu Wenxuan used this precious elixir, it also possessed extremely strong fire attribute power.

"laugh!"

Soon, the Crimson Flame Sword struck the Devouring Demon Toad.

"Goo!"

In an instant, the Devouring Demon Toad let out a violent scream, clearly indicating that the attack had severely injured it.

A gaping hole suddenly appeared on the Devouring Demon Toad's body.

Dark green blood could be seen flowing continuously from the wound.

It also emitted a strong, fishy odor.

At this moment, the Devouring Demon Toad's face was twisted, its eyes fixed on Qin Chuan, its dark pupils filled with ferocity.

It opened its mouth wide, and a purple demonic flame instantly condensed.

The next moment, the purple fireball shot towards Qin Chuan.

In an instant, demonic flames surged, engulfing the entire cavern.

Seeing this, Qin Chuan and Murong Xue quickly unleashed their respective Flaming Palm and Falling Song Sword Technique.

However, as a fifth-order, third-grade Devouring Demon Toad, its strength was equivalent to that of a human cultivator at the fourth level of the Profound King realm, making them no match for the two of them.

Before long, the two energies were neutralized by the purple fireball, and Qin Chuan and Murong Xue were blasted away.

While in mid-air, Qin Chuan spat out a mouthful of blood, which sprayed forward.

"Oh!"

A moment later, the two crashed heavily onto the stone wall.

Looking at Qin Chuan and Murong Xue by the stone wall, a human-like joy flashed in the eyes of the Devouring Demon Toad.

It could clearly sense that the two men's auras had become extremely weak after that attack.

Empress Yaoxi suddenly said, "Qin Chuan, borrow my cultivation, or you will die!"

"Need not."

Qin Chuan struggled to his feet, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and stared intently at the Devouring Demon Toad opposite him.

Empress Yao Xi frowned and said, "Don't be reckless. Although you don't want to reveal my aura, you can't defeat this beast in the current situation!"

At this moment, the Devouring Demon Toad had many wounds, and foul-smelling blood continued to flow out.

However, compared to Qin Chuan and Murong Xue, their situation was much better.

"I'm not showing off."

Qin Chuan shook his head, his gaze resolute, and said, "Instead, we've already found a way to deal with it!"

"Do you have any idea?"

Upon hearing Qin Chuan's words, Empress Yao Xi frowned slightly.

She knew Qin Chuan very well, from head to toe.

But no one could have imagined what method the other party would use to defeat this Devouring Demon Toad.

But seeing Qin Chuan's confident expression, she decided to trust him.

At the same time, the Devouring Demon Toad had slowly approached Qin Chuan and Murong Xue.

Upon seeing this, Murong Xue's beautiful face instantly turned pale.

She looked at Qin Chuan not far away and said apologetically, "Qin Chuan, I'm sorry, it's my fault..."

Murong Xue was interrupted by Qin Chuan before she could finish her sentence: "Don't be so pessimistic, we haven't lost yet."

Upon hearing this, Murong Xue was taken aback. She didn't understand why Qin Chuan could say such a thing at this time.

"brush!"

As the Devouring Demon Toad approached, Qin Chuan's eyes narrowed, and he gripped the Crimson Flame Sword tightly, forcefully slashing it into his palm.

In an instant, blood gushed from his palm, quickly soaking the entire Crimson Flame Sword.

"With my blood and coal, I shall slay!"

Qin Chuan gritted his teeth and let out a roar, pushing his internal energy to its limit.

Although he hadn't learned any sword techniques, he had still picked up quite a few moves while fighting alongside the phantoms in the Trial Tower.

Among them was sword energy.

In an instant, a sword aura, shaped like a crescent moon, slashed towards the Devouring Demon Toad.

The sword energy was still stained with Qin Chuan's blood.

This attack can be said to have gathered all of Qin Chuan's profound energy.

Upon seeing this attack coming, the Devouring Demon Toad's pupils revealed a look of fear.

It also opened its blood-red maw and spat out a mouthful of purple poisonous phlegm.

This phlegm was much larger than the previous ones, clearly indicating that it was fighting desperately.

Soon, the two energies met in mid-air and collided violently.

"Chichi!"

Although the mystical energy within the purple phlegm was stronger, for some reason, it hissed and began to dissolve upon contact with Qin Chuan's blood.

In just a few breaths, the purple phlegm vanished into nothingness.

Soon, the sword energy slashed forward and struck the Devouring Demon Toad.

"Goo!"

The Devouring Demon Toad let out a painful hiss, and its slimy skin burst into flames.

Immediately, it rolled around on the ground, trying to extinguish the flames on its body, but to no avail.

Soon, it became motionless, and the light in its pupils gradually faded.

The next moment, the Devouring Demon Toad's head swelled up and exploded with a loud bang.

Countless streams of foul-smelling blood flew everywhere, splattering all over the place.

Fortunately, Qin Chuan and Murong Xue were a little far away, so they didn't get involved with these filthy things and get themselves into trouble.

"We won...we actually won..."

Seeing this scene before her, Murong Xue's beautiful eyes widened in disbelief.

Even after witnessing it with her own eyes, she still couldn't understand how Qin Chuan managed to kill a fifth-tier, third-grade mystic beast.

"call…"

Qin Chuan gasped for breath, looking at the mess in front of him. Besides the joy of surviving the disaster, there was also a trace of regret in his eyes.

Beasts of the fifth rank and above are treasures from head to toe. The explosion of the Devouring Demon Toad's head is equivalent to losing a large sum of money for nothing.

If it's intact, it can definitely fetch a good price.

The reason they were able to defeat the Devouring Demon Toad was all because of the blood on its body.

When he vomited blood earlier, Qin Chuan noticed that the Devouring Demon Toad seemed to be very afraid of his blood.

Perhaps because of the Vermilion Bird bloodline, he guessed that his blood might have a restraining effect on the Devouring Demon Toad, which is why he finally decided to take the risk.

Thankfully, he won the bet!

At this moment, seeing Qin Chuan swaying precariously, Murong Xue quickly came to his side.

After taking out three-grade healing pills from his storage ring, he fed them to Qin Chuan.

Soon, under the effect of the pill, Qin Chuan's complexion improved considerably.

Seeing this, Murong Xue breathed a long sigh of relief, feeling much more at ease.

Immediately, she looked at Qin Chuan and said earnestly, "Qin Chuan, thank you. If it weren't for you today, I'm afraid I might really be dead here."
