Bang…
The centipede was trampled into the ground, followed by a second, a third...
"The pit on this iron-backed centipede is damn thick..."
Xuan Shan couldn't help but mutter to himself...
Everyone was speechless, thinking to themselves, "Listen to what you're saying. Even if the iron-backed centipede's shell is thick, it's not as thick as your tortoise shell, is it?"
Suddenly, a ball of light appeared in front of him. Xuan Shan looked at it blankly, thinking to himself, "This looks so familiar..."
However, he quickly realized that when he handed over his soul contract, it was also a similar ball of light. He didn't expect one to appear in front of him as well...
Xuan Shan raised his feet and stomped down hard. Two dull thuds echoed, and it felt like his intestines were about to be crushed. He was on the verge of tears and wanted to ask: "I've already handed over the soul contract, why are you still stepping on me?"
"Bribing me won't work. I'm not buying it. The bet must be honored today..."
Xuanshan raised his foot to continue stomping, intending to take revenge on Baizu for all the pent-up frustration that Tuoba San had inflicted on him…
Centipede thought to itself, "What the hell? I'm just fulfilling my bet! Please stop attacking me! I'm speechless right now..."
"I've heard that centipede soup is very nutritious..."
"I think it would be good as barbecue..."
"Maybe we should just forget about it. Looking at all those legs of his is a bit disgusting. What if he has athlete's foot?"
I overheard the women around me gossiping and thought to myself, "Can't you all have some decency? Look at what a centipede looks like, and you're still thinking about turning it into food?"
I looked at them with a pitying expression and scolded them.
"How can you treat a prodigy on the Prodigy Ranking like this? Don't they have any dignity?"
Hearing my words, the women laughed awkwardly, thinking to themselves, "Who told this guy to try and pick on us? Making him into skewers is already being lenient. We just want him to learn a lesson: never mess with a woman in your next life..."
The centipede in the ground was almost crying. Forget about saving face, none of that matters anymore. All I want is to live…
He looked at me gratefully, and I never expected that I would speak up for him at a time like this…
I continued speaking.
"Xuanshan, stop smashing it! If you break it, it won't taste good when deep-fried. Your methods are such a waste of ingredients. I've heard that deep-fried centipedes are the most nutritious, known as a man's energy booster and a woman's beauty salon. One centipede is enough for us to eat..."
Holy crap…
This is the echo in everyone's heart...
Centipede was completely dumbfounded. He had just been grateful to me for speaking up for him, and now he wanted nothing more than to skin me alive. Everyone else gets a quick death, but what the hell was this deep-frying? That stuff would only make him suffer more; it wouldn't kill him at all…
The others practically wanted to give me a thumbs up; this move was brilliant! They could even picture the centipede writhing in agony in the boiling oil…
Xuan Shan's foot froze in mid-air, momentarily unsure whether to finish off the centipede, after all, they were fellow disciples...
"Xuanshan, I was wrong. This is my soul contract. Accept it. I am willing to serve you faithfully, even unto death..."
Despite the excruciating pain, Baizu seized the moment when Xuanshan had no footing and managed to catch his breath. He quickly spoke to Xuanshan, his tone even pleading…
He couldn't imagine himself being skewered like a fish or thrown into a vat of boiling oil; even the deepest hell wouldn't treat him like that…
"Master, should we take this idiot in?"
Xuan Shan was overjoyed. This was the first time he had ever seen Baizu (a centipede) get its comeuppance and even beg to become his servant. Only he knew how he felt...
"You decide for yourself. We only need one idiot like you..."
Hearing my words, Xuanshan was speechless for a moment, thinking to himself, "You're a real dog. How can you say such cold words from a mouth that's 37 degrees Celsius?"
What do you mean by saying one idiot like him is enough? Is he really that stupid?
Xuan Shan was furious, but he couldn't vent his anger. The decision of whether to kill him or not was now in his hands. In his opinion, that bastard Bai Zu deserved to die; he had humiliated him countless times because of his powerful background…
But killing him like that would be too lenient. More importantly, killing such a fool would only make him seem foolish, but keeping him alive, if he's foolish enough, would make him seem intelligent...
Thinking about this, Xuan Shan decided it was better to keep this fool around...
So he opened his mouth and swallowed the centipede's soul contract...
Meanwhile, the battle between the red-robed blood slave and Murong Qingyi on Tuoba San's side was already at a stalemate. The two were evenly matched in strength, and neither dared to go all out, otherwise even if they won, Tuoba San would take advantage of the situation...
Not far from them, a being from the Void God Realm at the Lord level was leading his subordinates in a fierce battle against cultivators from the Burial Realm; the two sides were locked in a deadly struggle…
Those participating in the battle were all elites from the nine major sects, all with the aim of annihilating this lord-level monster from the Void God Realm in one fell swoop…
But to everyone's surprise, this lord was actually a succubus. With her power, she could subdue even a Saint-level being with a mere gesture...
If it weren't for the succubus's limited attack range, these elites of the Burial Realm would probably have already fallen by now...
However, reinforcements from the Burial Realm continued to arrive, and even Murong Qingyi received news of her going to provide support...
But he was locked in a fierce battle with the red-robed blood slave and couldn't break free at all...
Suddenly he took out the Blood Explosion Stone and threw it at the red-robed blood slave, saying...
"You just wanted a Bloodstone, right? Here you go..."
After throwing the Blood-Exploding Stone, Murong Qingyi immediately created distance and quickly left the volcano crater...
Tuoba San was stunned. He hadn't expected Murong Qingyi to suddenly abandon him, which undoubtedly left him in danger, forcing him to face the red-robed blood slaves alone...
The red-robed blood slave probably didn't expect Murong Qingyi to be so decisive, so he didn't have time to chase after her immediately...
The moment he received the Blood-Exploding Stone, Murong Qingyi had already vanished...
Enraged, he crushed the Blood Explosion Stone, which transformed into wisps of bloodline power that merged into the Blood Slave's palm…
However, he ignored the power brought by the Blood Stone and turned to look at Tuoba San…
In terms of speed, Tuoba San knew he was still a bit lacking compared to a god-level expert. He was only an emperor-level expert and hadn't even broken through to the saint-level yet. Facing a god-level expert was equivalent to crossing two major realms...
boom…
Tuoba San unleashed his domain, though its range was small, it was the only means he could contend with the God of War…
"Why do you have the aura of a blood slave on you?"
The red-robed blood slave didn't attack immediately, but instead asked him with a puzzled look...
Upon hearing the words of the red-robed blood slave, Tuoba San instantly thought of the blood slave in the western continent. At that moment, he finally realized that both blood slaves were kept by the same person…
He had just absorbed the power of the blood slave from the western continent, and therefore carried the aura of the blood slave...
I need help urgently! How can I break this deadlock?
