Volume 1 Chapter 266 Abandoning Fire and Cutting Meat

To have such a high temperature, it must be the same spiritual fire of heaven and earth, and it must be a killing force!

This is like looking for a needle in a haystack, it's nowhere to be found!

Xiang Yun cursed in a low voice, feeling the pressure on him making him breathless, and couldn't help but recall why he chose to face the major sects, the Ten Thousand Dynasties National War, and stand on the opposite side of them;

At that time, he could certainly choose not to take over the territories of the Black Witch Kingdom and the Mahayana Treasure Kingdom. In this way, he would lose the qualifications to participate in the Ten Thousand Dynasties National War, and would not face a powerful force like the Golden Cicada Sect so soon.

But as the emperor, it would be fine if he didn't know about this. But now that he knows, how can he give up when he has the chance? Isn't this just running away?

Once he escapes, his heart as an emperor will be tarnished, a stain that will stay with him for the rest of his life, and it will be difficult for him to regain the heart of a strong man. Even if the Great Sun Dynasty becomes more powerful in the future, he will not be happy because he will never see the sun above his head and will always be oppressed by others.

This will suffocate people and even kill them!

No matter what the people of the Great Sun Dynasty would think, Xiang Yun, as the emperor, has no choice. If he does not take the initiative to hold up the oppressive sky, then the people of the Great Sun Dynasty will never have a chance to rise, and neither will their descendants!

When his child Xiang Yun was born, he became more determined in his choice. As a father, he wanted to provide a bright future for his daughter so that they would have one more choice in life when they grew up.

However, the heavier the sky is, the heavier the pressure on him will be!

Now that he has defeated the deacon of the Golden Cicada Sect and has come to this point, he has no choice but to succeed!

Ten days later, Xiang Yun returned to the capital with a gloomy face and in a daze. He did not go to see his daughter, nor did he go to see Zhen Rou and Qin Su. Instead, he went straight to the Golden Palace and found Shen Tu Jian who was dozing off.

As soon as Xiang Yun came over, Shen Tu Jian opened his eyes as if he had not slept yet, and laughed: "Boy, you are on a dead end!"

"There are only a handful of people I admire in my life, and now you are one of them!"

Xiang Yun was slightly surprised, then he smiled bitterly, spread his hands and said, "In that case, it would be my honor."

"I just don't know how many days you can live. It seems that I won't be able to stay in this Golden Palace for many days." Just as Xiang Yun finished speaking, Shen Tu Jian blurted out such words, which immediately made Xiang Yun's expression solemn, and then he could no longer laugh.

"Could it be that the revenge of the Golden Cicada Sect is about to come?" Xiang Yun was flustered, so he hurriedly walked to the side of Shen Tu Jian and squatted down, saying in a deep voice: "Senior Shen Tu, I think..."

Before he could finish his words, Shen Tu Jian immediately waved his hand and said, "Don't think about it. That's the Jin Chan Sect. If I help you, do you still want to save your life?"

"Besides, I haven't known you for a long time, and we don't have much friendship. At most, I've eaten your meals a few times. Hey, you've been so shameless that you asked me to come over for dinner. So, don't bother me. Go to the side and figure out a solution slowly!"

Then Shen Tu Jian deliberately moved one meter away from Xiang Yun, lay down and continued to sleep soundly, even snoring on purpose.

The meaning is very clear, this is to drive people away!

Xiang Yun cursed in his heart that this old guy was ungrateful and actually didn't give him any face. It was a complete waste that he usually respected him!

After being humiliated, if it were someone else, Xiang Yun would have left long ago and would not have stayed here to suffer the humiliation.

But now that I have a request for help, how can I leave? This Shen Tu Jian is obviously a person who won't release his eagle until he sees the rabbit. But what treasure do I have on me that can impress him?

Xiang Yun thought about it and realized that there was only one rare and precious item on his body!

Having made up his mind, Xiang Yun raised his hand without any hesitation, and suddenly a ball of golden flame appeared in the palm of his hand. This was the source of the phantom fire hidden in his body.

Xiang Yun's mind moved, and blood suddenly flowed from the corner of his mouth. He forcibly cut off his connection with the phantom fire. At this moment, the phantom fire became an ownerless object!

The golden flame suddenly changed and danced, and finally turned into a brick exactly the same as the floor of the Golden Palace, and fell into Xiang Yun's hands.

It felt cold to the touch, as if there was nothing in it. At this time, Shen Tu Jian also opened his eyes and looked at Xiang Yun with a playful expression.

Xiang Yun cursed his ancestors in his heart, but he still said in a sincere tone: "I am willing to trade this magical fire that was born and raised by nature. I ask Senior Shentu to save my family's life at the critical moment!"

Shen Tu Jian stood up upon hearing this, took the brick and put it in his arms, then stretched and said lazily: "Oh, there is really no way. Is it so difficult to retreat and practice in seclusion? You little kid forced me to take action. If I take your phantom fire, it will cost me my life~"

Xiang Yun cursed inwardly: "You guys are faster than anyone else in collecting treasures, and you are pretending to obey but secretly disobeying me. You are really abominable!"

The next moment, Shen Tu Jian's words chilled Xiang Yun's heart again. Shen Tu Jian said calmly, "You have too many family members. How can I protect them all? A mere phantom fire is not enough!"

Veins popped out on Xiang Yun's forehead, and he asked in a deep voice, "What else does Senior Shentu want?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Tu Jian looked down at Xiang Yun's body, then raised his hand with a greedy and hungry look on his face and touched Xiang Yun's chest!

Xiang Yun was so frightened that he took several steps back, and finally couldn't help yelling, "Damn it, don't go too far, I will never agree to such a thing, there is no room for negotiation!"

Shen Tu Jian was stunned when he heard this, but then he reacted and immediately blushed and scolded: "What are you thinking about, little kid? Your mind is full of dirty things all day long!"

Then Shen Tu Jian said decisively: "You have drunk dragon blood and absorbed the energy of the golden dragon. Although you are now in human form, you are no different from a living, walking five-clawed golden dragon. I heard that a bite of dragon meat can greatly increase your cultivation, prolong your life, and keep you young forever. It even has the effect of reversing aging and can even turn you into an immortal on the spot!"

"My request is very simple. Cut off a piece of flesh from your chest and give it to me, and I will agree to your request. Even if the leader of the Golden Cicada Sect comes, I will ensure that your family is safe."

Xiang Yun was shocked and unbelievable at first, but when he heard Shen Tu Jian's arrogant tone, not even taking the Jin Chan Sect seriously, Xiang Yun's heart suddenly became firm.

He immediately tore open his dragon robe, revealing his jade-white, muscular chest. He then bit his finger and summoned the Great Sun Emperor Sword. He stared at Shen Tu Jian and said in a deep voice, "A gentleman's word is as good as a promise. Not to mention a piece of flesh and blood, as long as you agree to help, I will cut ten pieces for you!"

Shen Tu Jian laughed when he heard this, stretched out two fingers and said calmly: "Two catties of heart meat will do, not too much."

Xiang Yun felt ruthless when he heard that. He tightly grasped the Great Sun Emperor Sword and cut towards his chest muscles!

But the Great Sun Emperor Sword stopped just as it touched Xiang Yun's own flesh. Cold sweat broke out on Xiang Yun's forehead, and he was breathing heavily. He hesitated. How much courage does it take to cut your own flesh? He hesitated at the critical moment!

Shen Tu Jian, who was standing by, couldn't help but smile softly when he saw this scene, and said lightly: "I don't like to force people. If you can't do it, little kid, you'd better put on your clothes and go back, and don't disturb my meditation anymore."

Xiang Yun's heart tightened when he heard this, then he closed his eyes and said coldly: "Senior Shentu, just wait, there is nothing I dare not do in this life!"

Thinking of Zhen Rou, Qin Su, his daughter and others, Xiang Yun became furious, and then he really chopped down with the Great Sun Emperor Sword!

"Ah~!" Xiang Yun let out a painful scream, and when he looked down, he saw that his body was soaked in blood. However, due to the extremely high strength of his body, Xiang Yun only managed to cut the blade of the Great Sun Emperor Sword into the flesh of his chest with his sword, and not a single piece of flesh was cut off.

This scene made Xiang Yun himself dumbfounded. He underestimated his own body and overestimated the sharpness of the Great Sun Emperor Sword. At this moment, the pain radiated from the sword blade on the wound every minute and every second was stimulating his nerves.

Although he had experienced pain several times higher than this in his life, it did not mean that he was immune to pain. When the knife cut into the flesh, the pain was real.

"Once the arrow is shot, there's no turning back. Get down to me!" Xiang Yun cursed loudly, then exerted force with his hands and cut down fiercely. Suddenly, his screams became louder.

But his flesh and blood was really harder than bones. Xiang Yun tried several times, but the Great Sun Emperor Sword could no longer penetrate deeper. Xiang Yun cried in pain. He had no idea what to do, so he had to cruelly pull out the Great Sun Emperor Sword. His body twitched and trembled in pain.

"Ah!" Xiang Yun roared angrily again and circulated the Golden Dragon Source Energy to wrap the Great Sun Emperor Sword, especially gathering and solidifying on the blade, and then rapidly rotating it to increase the sharpness of the blade.

Then Xiang Yun roared again, and the Great Sun Emperor Sword chopped down, instantly cutting off a large piece of flesh on Xiang Yun's chest. Immediately a large amount of blood gushed out, and bursts of dragon roars emanated from Xiang Yun's body.

"For them, come on, I'm not afraid of anything!" Xiang Yun closed his eyes in pain, raised his sword and chopped down again.

Suddenly, the piece of flesh and blood was chopped off and fell to the ground. At this moment, the Ming Guang Armor immediately appeared on Xiang Yun's body, emitting a rich red light to heal Xiang Yun.

Xiang Yun collapsed all of a sudden, and he lay limp on the ground, breathing heavily. He was covered in sweat, and his body twitched from time to time because of the pain.

Shen Tu Jian, who was standing by, picked up Xiang Yun's beloved piece of meat with a smile on his face, weighed it in his palm for a few times, and then said with a smile: "Oh, three catties and six ounces, a full catty and six ounces more, thank you so much!"

These words were very harsh. Xiang Yun kept cursing in his heart, while he closed his eyes tightly and did not respond to Shen Tu Jian.

Ten minutes later, Xiang Yun slowly stood up, turned around and left without even looking at Shen Tu Jian. Before leaving, he said in a deep voice: "As a husband and a father, I would like to thank you for your great kindness."

Then Xiang Yun walked away slowly. At this time, Xiao Guazi hurried over and immediately shouted when he saw Xiang Yun: "Hey, Your Majesty, I finally found you!"

"Your Majesty has been missing for these days, and I have been very worried. Now I see that Your Majesty is fine."
