Chapter 377: Three-Headed Soul Beast (35)_1
Fortunately, Zhu Yundi and Shangguan Yaqing were both shielded by Ah Yin’s vines, so they did not witness this scene!
"Chu Qin, is Xu Ying okay?" Zhu Yundi also looked at Xu Ying and asked.
"She’s fine, just fainted from the Man-Eating Demon Flower’s hallucinogenic poison!" Chu Qin could only say this.
As soon as he spoke, Chu Qin placed his palm in front of Xu Ying’s chest, circulating Soul Power to expel the pollen from her body!
Thankfully, Chu Qin’s Soul Power was effective at that moment, and since Xu Ying was not deeply poisoned, the pollen inside her body was soon completely expelled!
Of course, she had been knocked out by Chu Qin, so she did not immediately wake up.
"This pollen isn’t very toxic, Auntie Xu Ying should be fine now!" Chu Qin let out a slight sigh of relief.
"How could Xu Ying appear here!" Zhu Yundi uttered with a hint of confusion, then shifted her gaze toward Li Hu on the ground and called out softly, "General Li Hu, General Li Hu!"
However, there was no response from Li Hu!
Trying to check on him, Zhu Yundi brought her hand close to Li Hu’s nose and, finding him lifeless, she exclaimed in shock, "Ah, General Li Hu, he’s dead!"
Chu Qin, Ah Yin, and Shangguan Yaqing all frowned at this.
"Tsk!"
Just then, a beastly roar identical to the one uttered by the Man-Eating Demon Flower came from behind them.
Chu Qin and the three turned around only to see the Man-Eating Demon Flower that Chu Qin had severely injured had stood back up!
Moreover, they could see that within the roots of the Demon Flower, a red and a blue power were continuously flowing into its body!
Under the influence of these two powerful forces, the aura of the Man-Eating Demon Flower was climbing steadily!
"Yes, that’s it!" Revitalized by the two powerful and mysterious energies, the Man-Eating Demon Flower uttered words of satisfaction and comfort?
"What’s going on!" Ah Yin exclaimed in shock.
"How is it, the aura of the Man-Eating Demon Flower is rising!" Shangguan Yaqing also knitted her brows in concern.
"Never mind how it’s rising!"
The corners of Chu Qin’s mouth raised slightly. Following that, his feet flashed black, red, rose gold, gold, as his golden soul rings lit up, and in his hands, the Extinguishing God Spear stabbed toward the Man-Eating Demon Flower!
But in the next moment, the huge sword of the Man-Eating Demon Flower suddenly grew immensely large, and in virtually an instant, it swallowed Chu Qin, along with his spear!
"Chu Qin!"
Seeing Chu Qin being devoured by the Man-Eating Demon Flower, Zhu Yundi, Ah Yin, and Shangguan Yaqing shouted in unison.
"Tsk tsk tsk, stop shouting!" the Man-Eating Demon Flower spat in human speech, "This human has been completely consumed by me; soon he will turn into a puddle of blood!"
"Bastard!" Shangguan Yaqing exploded with anger. She had just become Chu Qin’s girlfriend and thought she had attained the greatest happiness in the world, yet now this happiness was shattered in an instant?
The immense feeling of loss nearly drove Shangguan Yaqing to madness, and in her hand appeared her Martial Soul—the Amber Gold Fan—as the seventh black Soul Ring under her feet immediately lit up.
The next moment, a phantom image of her appeared behind her, with the phantom holding a golden feather fan that was ten times larger than the actual object, slashing directly at the Man-Eating Demon Flower!
The outcome was obvious. The Man-Eating Demon Flower was a Three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast, and with the addition of those two mysterious forces, it had reached an even more formidable state!
Thus, Shangguan Yaqing’s attack with the golden feather fan merely hit the Man-Eating Demon Flower, only to be completely dissolved by the pervasive corrosive pollen on its body!
"Overestimating yourself!"
The Man-Eating Demon Flower sneered contemptuously, and the pollen surrounding it quickly gathered together, shooting toward Shangguan Yaqing like a cannonball.
Shangguan Yaqing was instantly taken aback!
Seeing this scene, Ah Yin and Zhu Yundi rushed forward simultaneously, positioning themselves in front of Shangguan Yaqing.
Yet in just a moment, Zhu Yundi was sent flying by the strong Soul Power emanated from the Man-Eating Demon Flower, and although Ah Yin was not immediately blown away, she was forced to retreat continuously!
"Hahaha! A hundred-thousand-year Bluesilver Emperor, not bad, not bad, you can become a great source of nourishment for me!" the Man-Eating Demon Flower uttered coldly.
However, just as the Man-Eating Demon Flower indulged in its triumph, a burst of golden radiance suddenly bloomed from its body, the gleam emanating from the inside out!
Simultaneously, the Man-Eating Demon Flower uttered in horror, "No, impossible, human, you haven’t been dissolved by my venom!"
No sooner had the words of the Man-Eating Demon Flower fallen than a powerful crimson light burst forth at the base of the flower, surging upward rapidly, and finally soaring high into the sky through the Demon Flower’s huge mouth!
"Ah~"
Instantly, the Man-Eating Demon Flower started to roar madly as if its roots were snapping and leaves were breaking!
The next second, the Demon Flower’s body was draped in blood-colored energy which, following a loud explosion, made its roots burst apart!
Subsequently, a blue silhouette surged out from the base of the roots and landed beside the three ladies. It was none other than Chu Qin, wielding the Asura God Sword and the golden trident, transformed into his dragon form!
"Chu Qin, you’re not dead!"
Ah Yin and the ladies could not contain their joy.
"A mere Three Hundred Thousand Year Soul Beast thinking of killing me?" Chu Qin said with a light smile, "Not only that, Yundi, Ya Qing, your Soul Rings are settled!"
"Ah?" Zhu Yundi and Shangguan Yaqing both cried out in astonishment.
Without a word, Chu Qin, with his Asura God Sword, gently pointed at the belly of the Man-Eating Demon Flower!
To the already afflicted Demon Flower, this simply added to its agony, prompting an even more sorrowful and explosive roar, as the lowest layer of its root tube also ruptured!
Then, to everyone’s surprise, the moment the bottom of the Demon Flower exploded, two colossal and dazzling beams of light, red and blue, escaped from the roots!
Within those beams of light, two massive beast shadows could be clearly seen.
These two shadowy beasts took the form of a lion and a tiger, respectively.
"Hundred-thousand-year soul beasts, the One-Horned Demon Lion King, the Saber-Toothed Ice Tiger King!" exclaimed Ah Yin in shock.
Shangguan Yaqing and Zhu Yundi were even more amazed to the extreme.
"Hmph! Assisting tyranny, do you still think you can escape?"
As soon as Chu Qin finished speaking, the Asura God Sword and the golden trident in his hands swiftly pursued the lion and the tiger!
The One-Horned Demon Lion and the Saber-Toothed Ice Tiger, initially desperately attempting to flee, soon realized that Chu Qin’s Asura God Sword and Sea God’s Trident were incredibly fast, beyond their ability to escape!
Thus, the One-Horned Demon Lion and the Saber-Toothed Ice Tiger both turned around, intent on using their strong bodies and soul power to withstand the two Divine Artifacts!
However, how powerful were the two Divine Artifacts with the addition of Chu Qin’s extreme soul power?
In just an instant, the protective soul power of the two Beast Kings was shattered, and at the same moment, two identical avatars split from Chu Qin’s body!
The next second, these two avatars had already teleported next to the Asura God Sword and the golden trident, and immediately, the palms of their hands pushed against the shaft of the trident and the hilt of the sword, and the two Divine Artifacts burst forth with the power of ten thousand jun!
Following that, accompanied by two agonized wails, the bodies of the two Beast Kings were pierced directly by the two Divine Artifacts and heavily nailed to the ground, motionless!
"Humans, spare my life!" the Saber-Toothed Ice Tiger King begged.
"I’m sorry, but I’ve always been one to show no mercy," said Chu Qin coldly. "Moreover, survival of the fittest is the law of life. You’ve lived for a hundred thousand years, killed numerous soul beasts, you should be content!"
The Saber-Toothed Ice Tiger King instantly felt despair, and on top of being gravely injured, it lay on the ground, motionless!
As for the One-Horned Demon Lion King, it was continuously corroded by the murderous aura of the Asura God Sword, and other than wailing, it couldn’t utter a word.
"Chu Qin, you’re too strong!" At this moment, Zhu Yundi said with somewhat vacant eyes, her mouth slightly agape. These were two top-notch Beast Kings, and Chu Qin had dispatched them with barely any effort!
"Yundi, what are you thinking about?" said Chu Qin with a raised eyebrow, "Get to work and collect the soul rings. One lion and one tiger, both are powerful agility-type soul beasts, perfect for your Hell Spiritual Cat!"
"For... me?" said Zhu Yundi, overjoyed.
"Mhm!" nodded Chu Qin, "Ya Qing, that three-hundred-thousand-year Man-Eating Demon Flower, paired with your Amber Gold Fan, is more than suitable!"
"Mhm! Mhm!" Zhu Yundi and Shangguan Yaqing both nodded.
Immediately, Zhu Yundi shot out like lightning, her iron-hard cat claws piercing directly through the hearts of the One-Horned Demon Lion and the Saber-Toothed Ice Tiger King!
In a flash, the two Beast Kings left this world in despair, two bright red soul rings and two pieces of right arm bones emerged from their bodies!
At the same time, Shangguan Yaqing also delivered the final blow to the Man-Eating Demon Flower, obtaining a bright red soul ring with three stripes and a precious torso-type soul bone!
"So, Chu Qin, do we start absorbing now?" Shangguan Yaqing asked excitedly. She was about to obtain one of the most precious hundred-thousand-year soul rings in Soul Land, her very first red soul ring, how could she not be thrilled?
"Of course, I’ll protect you. Don’t worry!" said Chu Qin affirmatively.
"Alright!" Both women, hearing this, no longer hesitated and sat down in succession, beginning to attract the soul rings into their Martial Souls!
"Who would have thought, this Man-Eating Demon Flower just happened to swallow two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts!" Ah Yin said with a smile.
"Yeah! These two hundred-thousand-year soul beasts must have been threatened by the Man-Eating Demon Flower, so they contributed their strength to it!" Chu Qin nodded and smiled, "Just in time to benefit Yundi and Ya Qing. This has to be considered luck, doesn’t it?"
"With you, luck is never too far away!"
Ah Yin said with a gentle smile.
Chu Qin revealed a contented smile, then his expression suddenly changed, "Oh no, Auntie Xu Ying!"
Fortunately, Xu Ying was safe and sound. While Ah Yin was protecting Zhu Yundi and Shangguan Ya Qing, she hadn’t forgotten to extend some of her Soul Power to envelop Xu Ying as well.
Chu Qin quickly walked over to Xu Ying’s side and crouched down. After feeling her steady pulse, he let out a slight sigh of relief, "It seems Auntie Xu Ying is fine now, just a bit weak. She needs to sleep for a while. Perfect timing, as Yundi and the others absorbing the Soul Rings isn’t something that can be finished quickly. Let’s wait for Auntie Xu Ying to wake up."
"Mhm!" Ah Yin said with a light smile.
In the sweltering summer heat, Chu Qin took out a blanket-like piece of ice from the Soul Guidance Container and gently placed Xu Ying on it.
Following that, Chu Qin sat down on the ice mat, and Ah Yin immediately sat down snugly beside him.
Seeing Chu Qin smiling at her, Ah Yin leaned her head against his shoulder.
Chu Qin also gently placed his hand on Ah Yin’s head.
Ah Yin’s body was cool all over. Touching her hair was like dipping into the cool mountain spring water on a hot summer day, making the palm of his hand so cool and refreshing.
"Ah Yin, your hair feels so cool!"
Chu Qin chuckled softly.
"That’s because our Bluesilver Emperor is inherently close to a cool attribute soul beast," Ah Yin said with a faint smile.
"So, does that mean your entire body is cool?" Chu Qin suddenly had an idea.
"Yes!" Ah Yin nodded, seemingly understanding what Chu Qin was implying.
"I don’t believe it, unless you let me feel it for myself!" Chu Qin said teasingly.
"Yes!" Ah Yin, her face turning slightly red, nodded.
Seeing Ah Yin’s bashful look, Chu Qin felt as if he were looking at a bud of ice peonies waiting to bloom, so pleasing to the eye and refreshing to the heart!
At the same time, in that ice peony, Chu Qin saw two towering peaks!
Ah Yin always wore that blue robe with a generously exposed swath of pure white at the collar. From a distance, it seemed to share the same lustrous glow as the ice peony.
Especially from Chu Qin’s high angle view, which was akin to a 24k high-definition, close-range survey, that visual impact was something no one except Chu Qin could experience!
