Chapter 122 I was born with superhuman strength
"My God!"
Su Yan couldn't help but swallow hard when he saw the withered salamander that had flown more than ten meters into the air and was struggling incessantly!
How much strength does that take?
"A great opportunity!"
Despite his shock, his movements were swift. He stomped his foot on the water, creating a large bowl-shaped depression, and used the force to propel himself into the air. He then slashed his longsword upwards at the exposed soft belly of the skeleton salamander!
*Sizzle!*
A gash several meters long appeared instantly, tearing it open!
Thick, purplish-black blood gushed out like a fountain, revealing clumps of internal organs and a pounding heart inside.
The skeleton salamander let out a violent roar, its body twisting and turning.
Clang!
Almost simultaneously, Wu Jiang swung his arms, and the two sections of the gun barrel met in mid-air, producing a metallic clang.
Wu Jiang swung his spear, and the spearhead spun violently like an electric drill, drilling a large hole in the dorsal fin of the skeleton salamander!
He roared, his muscles bulging, and with a sudden jerk of the gun on his shoulder, the massive body of the skeleton salamander was sent hurtling uncontrollably toward the distant shore!
A loud bang was heard.
The skeleton salamander let out another miserable cry. Under the violent impact, its internal organs uncontrollably gushed out of the wound, and it was clear that it was on its last breath.
Wen Wan emerged from the swamp covered in mud, ready to finish off her opponent.
"Get out of here!"
Suddenly, a strong wind howled behind them, and a sharp shout came from behind.
Chu Xuan's figure rushed over in an instant, and before Wen Wan could make a move, he directly punched and shattered the green single eye on the head of the Bone Salamander!
"Woo~"
The skeleton salamander struggled and whimpered a few times, then lay still and died completely.
[Slayed a Tier 3 Beast, the Bone Salamander, and gained 469 Essence Points]
Seeing the information on the panel, Chu Xuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
It was so close.
Several hundred essence points are gone!
"Hey, I just snapped at you a little, why are you being so petty?"
Wen Wan glared at Chu Xuan with a mixture of embarrassment and annoyance.
That bastard saved her life, but that kick was way too brutal. It didn't feel like she'd been kicked; it felt like she'd been gored by a charging elephant!
It still hurts a little bit in the back!
"In urgent situations, we must act expediently. Please forgive me, Senior Sister," Chu Xuan said, offering a perfunctory bow.
"you----"
Wen Wan was furious.
In times of emergency, one should act expediently?
Couldn't you have used a more tactful approach?
I've never seen such a petty man!
She snorted angrily, but could only swallow her anger. After a moment, she composed herself and said earnestly, "Thank you for earlier! Consider it a favor I owe you!"
Chu Xuan nodded without saying anything more.
At this moment, Wu Jiang and Su Yan also arrived. Looking at the huge, withered salamander corpse on the ground, and then at Chu Xuan, their expressions changed.
This time, it can be said that Chu Xuan played a decisive role.
If it weren't for Chu Xuan's punch that knocked the skeleton salamander out of the water, they would have had a real hard time dealing with it.
"Junior Brother Chu, are you really a newly attained Transformation Realm? Your strength is terrifying!" Su Yan said in disbelief.
Wu Jiang also looked at Chu Xuan, somewhat incredulous.
He had just exerted all his strength and only managed to throw the skeleton salamander onto the shore, so he naturally understood how terrifyingly heavy the skeleton salamander was.
But Chu Xuan's punch actually knocked the withered salamander out of the water.
That's absolutely terrifying!
"To be honest with my fellow senior brothers and sisters, I only recently reached the Transformation Realm. As for strength—maybe I'm just naturally strong," Chu Xuan said simply.
Everyone nodded without saying anything more.
Indeed, the only explanation is that he was born with superhuman strength!
Otherwise, Chu Xuan's terrifying strength is inexplicable unless he is a master of the Gang Jin (罡劲) technique.
But that's clearly even less likely!
Su Yan kicked the corpse of the skeleton salamander, grinning from ear to ear, "The skeleton salamander is a tyrant among third-tier beasts, worth at least two thousand contribution points. We've made a small profit!"
"more than!"
Wen Wan spoke up at this moment, her eyes fixed on the Seven-Leaf Purple Heart Lotus in the center of the swamp, and said excitedly, "This time, we might have hit the jackpot!"
"Oh, what happened?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Xuan and Su Yan both looked at Wen Wan.
Wu Jiang, his eyes also shining, stared at the Seven-Leaf Purple Heart Lotus and exclaimed excitedly, "We've really struck gold! The skeletons scattered around here must all be the work of the Bone Salamander, indicating that it has been stationed here for a long time. But the Seven-Leaf Purple Heart Lotus is highly poisonous; even if the Bone Salamander ate it, it would die instantly. It's not worth its protection at all!"
But it stayed there, indicating that it was guarding something else.
Upon hearing this, everyone understood what he meant.
"Purple Heart Cleansing Lotus Root!"
Su Yan exclaimed excitedly, "Senior Brother Wu, you're saying there's a Purple Heart Cleansing Lotus Root underwater?"
"Whether it exists or not, we'll know once we take a look," Wu Jiang said with a faint smile.
Whoosh!
Just as he finished speaking, Su Yan moved again, leaping back onto the shallow beach of white bones in a few bounds.
He took three ripe lotus pods and threw them at the three of them.
The next moment, he burrowed directly into the mud.
The mud churned on the water's surface, and a large number of bubbles rose to the surface.
About half an incense stick's time later, Su Yan suddenly emerged from the mud and landed in front of everyone. In his hand was a long lotus root, divided into three sections. The outer skin was snow-white, while the inside was purple. Even though the skin was covered in mud, it could not hide the refreshing fragrance emanating from the broken sections.
"As expected, we have the Purple Heart Marrow Cleansing Lotus Root! Haha, we've struck it rich this time."
Su Yan shouted excitedly.
Purple Heart Marrow Cleansing Lotus Root is a treasure that can transform one's constitution and bones; even among the inner disciples, it is extremely rare.
The seven-leaf purple heart lotus is not particularly rare, but those that can grow purple heart marrow-cleansing lotus roots are extremely rare.
Wen Wan was all smiles, but when she saw that Su Yan only had three sections of the Purple Heart Marrow Cleansing Lotus Root, her smile froze.
"Why are there only three pieces?"
Four people, but only three sections of Purple Heart Cleansing Lotus Root, how can they be divided?
It's important to know that only a complete section of the Purple Heart Marrow Cleansing Lotus Root can have the effect of improving one's constitution. If it is cut in half, the effect will be greatly reduced, and it's questionable whether it can even improve one's constitution. It might even be a waste!
Upon hearing this, the smiles on the faces of the others also froze.
Yes!
How do we divide it?
Su Yan looked at Chu Xuan and forced a smile, saying, "Junior Brother Chu, you've just broken through to the Transformation Realm, you'll have plenty of opportunities in the future! Could you let the three of us have the Purple Heart Marrow Cleansing Lotus first? As for the Bone Salamander, we won't divide it among ourselves, what do you say?"
There are plenty of opportunities?
Chu Xuan sneered inwardly.
That's easy for you to say!
How could he not know how rare a precious medicine to enhance one's physical constitution is?
However, he didn't argue, but simply said, "I'm fine with anything."
As he spoke, he subtly moved to the side, seemingly to look at the withered salamander.
"Never mind, I'll take the skeleton salamander."
At this moment, Wen Wan suddenly spoke up.
Everyone stared at her in astonishment.
Wen Wan calmly said, "I contributed the least this time, so I should take the least. Therefore, I'll give the Purple Heart Marrow Cleansing Lotus to Junior Brother Chu Xuan."
Su Yan's face turned somewhat ugly upon hearing this, and he felt his face burning.
Wen Wan's humility at this moment would undoubtedly be a slap in his face, making him appear even more greedy.
That is the truth.
"idiot!"
Su Yan cursed inwardly, but smiled and said, "Since Junior Sister Wen has spoken, then let's..."
"Junior Brother Su, be careful—"
Before he could finish speaking, Wu Jiang suddenly shouted.
Su Yan's expression changed, thinking that another strange beast had attacked. He subconsciously turned around to look, but he was somewhat puzzled.
Another monster attack?
Why didn't he feel anything this time?
The next moment, he suddenly realized something was wrong, and felt a sharp gust of wind rushing towards his back.
"asshole!"
Su Yan's expression changed drastically. He realized something instantly and didn't have time to dodge. He could only cover his back with all his strength.
Bang~!
A dull thud was heard.
Wu Jiang slapped Su Yan hard on the back.
Su Yan grunted and spat out a mouthful of blood. The Purple Heart Marrow Cleansing Lotus root flew out of his hand, and his body was thrown forward uncontrollably, crashing into the mud ten meters away.
This sudden turn of events caught not only Su Yan off guard, but Wen Wan also stood frozen in place.
By the time she realized what was happening, Su Yan had already flown away.
"Senior Brother Wu, what are you doing?"
Wen Wan suddenly stepped back, looking at Wu Jiang with a look of fear as he caught the Purple Heart Marrow Cleansing Lotus Root.
Haven't all the purple lotus root for cleansing the marrow been distributed?
She had already withdrawn, so why did Wu Jiang still launch a sneak attack?
Su Yan was equally puzzled.
He staggered to his feet, glaring at Wu Jiang with eyes that seemed to spit fire, and gritted his teeth, saying, "Why? Just for this Marrow Cleansing Lotus Root?"
The marrow-cleansing lotus root can indeed improve one's constitution, but it only has an effect once!
Even if there were any left, using them again would have no effect. He didn't understand why Wu Jiang had ambushed him.
"Hehe, the Marrow Cleansing Lotus Root was just an accident!"
Wu Jiang smiled faintly, "I didn't expect we'd be so lucky this time. As for why, it's simple: my target has always been you! How can I break through to the Gang Jin realm without absorbing you?"
"Devour?"
Su Yan and Wen Wan's expressions changed drastically in an instant.
"You're a member of the Blood God Cult?!" Su Yan looked at Wu Jiang, both shocked and furious.
Even Chu Xuan, who was not far away, had a change in expression.
He guessed that Wu Jiang was suspicious and thought that the other party was planning to take it all for himself, but he never expected that the other party was actually a member of the Blood God Cult.
"Senior Brother Wu, have you gone mad? You're a top talent on the Wind and Cloud Ranking! Why would you give up such a brilliant person to join the Blood God Sect, which everyone hates?" Wen Wan looked incredulous.
Wu Jiang shook his head and said calmly, "You're wrong! My initial innate talent was only the lowest grade, with only three forms. If I hadn't joined the Divine Cult, I probably wouldn't even have qualified to be on the Wind and Cloud Ranking. I would have been relegated to the lowest rung of the Xuan Yang Sect, and where would I be today?!"
Having said that, he ignored the two men whose faces were grim and instead looked at Chu Xuan with interest: "Junior Brother Chu doesn't seem surprised at all?"
Chu Xuan calmly said, "Senior Brother Wu has misunderstood. I was greatly shocked, but I didn't show it!"
"Hehe~"
Wu Jiang chuckled, "Speaking of which, we should thank you, Junior Brother Chu, otherwise, we would have had a real hard time dealing with that skeleton salamander! To thank you, I'll let you be the last one to die!"
"Wu Jiang, do you really think you can take us down?" Su Yan gritted his teeth. "Even if you're ranked sixty-third on the popularity list, there's only one person! Don't forget, there are three of us on our side!"
He said this because he was worried that Chu Xuan and Wen Wan would abandon him and run away. If that happened, he would surely die, given his current severe injuries!
"Who told you I'm all alone?" Wu Jiang said with a half-smile.
Just as he finished speaking, two figures emerged from the miasma not far away. The two were dressed in extremely strange attire. One was a fat man dressed in a black robe and holding a black iron chain in his hand, while the other was as thin as a stick, dressed in a white robe and holding a mourning stick in his hand!
Such attire looked exceptionally eerie in this already ghost-like swamp of decaying bones.
"Black and White Impermanence?"
Chu Xuan looked completely bewildered.
"The Black Witch Duo?!" Wen Wan exclaimed instinctively, "You've joined the Blood God Cult too?"
The Black Witch Duo were notorious bandits in Lingxiao Palace. The two brothers were originally disciples of the Black Witch Cult, but for some unknown reason, they betrayed the cult. They not only poisoned the cult leader who treated them like his own sons, but also raped the sect leader's daughter.
He later committed numerous crimes in Lingxiao Prefecture and was wanted by the entire prefecture.
Although the two had committed numerous evils, their strength was extraordinary. They had already reached the Great Perfection of the Transformation Realm many years ago, which is why they had been able to evade justice for so many years.
"Hehe, what do you mean by joining the Blood God Cult? We've always been members of the Blood God Cult!" Hei Sha chuckled, his gaze sweeping over Wen Wan before locking onto Chu Xuan. He subconsciously licked his lips, his eyes filled with greed.
,
Chu Xuan's expression froze instantly, and he felt as if he were sitting on pins and needles. The next moment, a dangerous glint appeared in his eyes.
"Master, leave this little vixen to me!" Bai Sha stared at Wen Wan's curvaceous figure, waving his mourning staff. "My big club is itching for a foreseeable future!"
"The sect leader?"
Chu Xuan was taken aback, no longer caring about Hei Sha, and looked at Wu Jiang thoughtfully, "It was you?"
The masked man who led the group that intercepted their Purple Crown Golden Eagle back then seems to be a hall master of the Blood God Cult. He almost killed him with a punch from a distance!
"Hehe, so Junior Brother Chu didn't recognize me." Wu Jiang looked at Chu Xuan with amusement. "How about it, Junior Brother Chu? Didn't expect we'd meet again like this, did you?"
Chu Xuan's heart sank instantly.
Trouble!
Wu Jiang is actually the head of that hall?!
That day, he personally experienced the terror of the other party, who was already able to easily condense his internal energy and was only one step away from officially entering the realm of internal energy!
Chu Xuan subconsciously looked at Wen Wan, who was also looking at him at that moment.
The next moment, without the slightest hesitation, the two turned around and flew off in two different directions.
"You bastards!"
Upon seeing this, Su Yan's face flushed red with anger, and his eyes widened in fury.
He could no longer care about his injuries and turned to flee into the depths of the swamp. But before he could take a step, Wu Jiang appeared beside him as if by teleportation.
"Die!"
Su Yan roared with a ferocious expression, seemingly prepared, and thrust his soft sword at Wu Jiang's face at an extremely tricky angle, like a venomous snake.
Ding!
Wu Jiang simply extended two fingers and caught the slender, soft sword. Then, the tip of the sword slashed across Su Yan's neck, and a thin line of blood appeared.
"you----"
Su Yan stared at Wu Jiang in horror, never expecting that he couldn't even withstand a single move from Wu Jiang before his consciousness faded into darkness.
"Go! Bring those two little brats back to me."
Wu Jiang spoke indifferently.
"yes!"
The Black Witch Duo responded with a shout and turned to fly off in two different directions.
