Just when Xue Lian raised his right hand and was about to destroy Jiu Xuanming's cultivation, suddenly, Jiu Xuanming took out something from his right hand as if by magic, and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation, trying to swallow it in one gulp.
Xue Lian was shocked when he saw this, and immediately realized that the situation was not good. He flashed and appeared beside Jiu Xuanming like a shadow. His right hand stretched out like lightning and strangled Jiu Xuanming's neck tightly, making it impossible for him to swallow the food in his mouth smoothly.
However, Jiu Xuanming was no ordinary person after all. Even in such a difficult situation, he still tried his best and finally succeeded in swallowing the mysterious object.
Almost at the same time, in less than half a breath, a jaw-dropping scene happened - Jiu Xuanming's body began to change at an alarming speed!
His originally normal body suddenly expanded rapidly as if it had been injected with a huge amount of water, and this expansion showed no signs of stopping, but became more and more violent. In the blink of an eye, he had become like a huge sponge, constantly absorbing the surrounding air and energy, and his entire body was getting bigger and bigger...
Xue Lian, who was standing by, witnessed this strange and terrifying scene, and a chill surged in his heart. He stared at the unrecognizable Jiu Xuanming with wide eyes, his eyes full of astonishment and vigilance. After a moment's hesitation, he made a decisive move, swung his hand violently, and threw the expanding behemoth out fiercely.
Just as Jiu Xuanming's body was thrown into the air, a loud "bang" sounded suddenly, deafening! Then, Jiu Xuanming's body, which had expanded to the extreme, finally couldn't bear the weight and burst in an instant. In an instant, blood splattered, bones and flesh flew everywhere, and a strong bloody smell filled the air, making people nauseous.
However, something even more unexpected was yet to come. The splattered flesh and blood did not scatter all over the ground as people had imagined, but instead, as if possessing their own independent consciousness and life, they began to flee madly in all directions. They jumped, rolled, and slid with extraordinary agility, and disappeared from sight in the blink of an eye.
Faced with this sudden change, Xue Lian reacted very quickly. He was not panicked at all, and quickly pulled out a long sword that was completely black and flashing with cold light. With a flick of his wrist, the sword drew a graceful arc in the sunlight, bringing up a sharp sword energy, and rushed straight towards the fleeing flesh and blood.
For a moment, the sword lights crisscrossed, like gorgeous fireworks blooming in the night sky. With the sound of crisp cutting, the flesh and blood that tried to escape were ruthlessly cut off and chopped into pieces. Xue Lian moved with the sword, his steps were light and flexible, and the long sword in his hand flew up and down, dancing tightly.
After a fierce battle, Xue Lian finally wiped out most of the fleeing flesh. At this time, the battlefield was full of broken limbs and mottled bloodstains, a mess.
However, in this chaos, a flesh ball the size of a head managed to survive. It lay quietly in a pool of blood, trembling slightly, as if it was still brewing some unknown danger.
Xue Lian looked at the huge meat ball in front of him, and a complex emotion flashed in his eyes. He slowly told the story of him and Jiu Xuanming, with a hint of heaviness in his voice.
Xiao Ning stared at the meatball in disbelief, his mouth slightly open, as if an egg could fit in. He stuttered and asked:
"Are you saying this guy is the one left over from Jiu Xuan Ming? Why has it become so big now?"
Xue Lian took a deep breath and explained again: “Jiu Xuanming took an eighth-grade elixir called the Body Shattering Pill, which has extremely powerful medicinal properties.
It can break down the body of the user into countless small pieces of flesh, each of which has its own vitality. As long as one of the pieces escapes, given enough time, it can regrow and return to its original appearance. "
Xue Lian's eyes fell on the huge meat ball and continued:
"However, when I was processing these pieces of meat, I unfortunately missed a piece. When I found it, it had already escaped. Now, what you see in front of you is Jiu Xuanming's largest piece of meat. However, I used some special methods on him. After a hundred years, he not only did not return to his original state, but instead turned into a huge meat ball."
Xiao Ning's brows were tightly furrowed, like an insurmountable mountain. His eyes were like sharp arrows, staring at the huge ball of flesh, as if he wanted to penetrate its appearance and see the secret hidden within.
Time passed by minute by minute, and he was as silent as a statue. After a long time, he finally broke the silence and asked the most important question:
"Why do you keep him? What does this have to do with your resurrection of Jiang Yinli?"
Xue Lian's eyes became deep, like an endless abyss, and he seemed to be thinking about an extremely complicated problem. After a while, he slowly spoke, and each word seemed to carry a heavy weight:
"I need him to rebuild Jiang Yinli's body."
Xiao Ning listened to Xue Lian's words with a bewildered look on his face, as if he was shrouded in an invisible mist. "Created Jiang Yinli's body? But isn't this Jiu Xuanming? What does it have to do with Jiang Yinli?"
His voice was full of doubt and confusion, as if he was trying to piece together a broken puzzle.
Xue Lian did not answer his question directly, but said: "Wait a little longer, they will be here soon."
While Xue Lian was still solving riddles, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind them. The sound was like gentle raindrops, but it stirred up a thousand waves in Xiao Ning's heart. He immediately realized that something was wrong, and when he turned around, the scene in front of him made him dumbfounded.
Rong Rouxue actually appeared behind them! She was holding Li Yun and Li Mu, father and son, in her hands, and looked at Xue Lian with a vicious look. There were sparks of anger flashing in her eyes, as if she wanted to burn Xue Lian to ashes.
Behind her, Chu Yin, Chu Qingxian, Chu Qian, Xiao Ding, and Li Changsheng all stood together. Their expressions varied, some were angry, some were worried, and some were full of doubts.
Xiao Ning looked at the scene in front of him with a puzzled expression. His eyes moved among the crowd, trying to understand this sudden situation.
"Mother, Sister Rouxue, why are you here?" There was a hint of surprise and confusion in his voice.
When Chu Qian looked at her son, a trace of concern and anxiety immediately flashed in her eyes. She immediately wanted to rush forward to Xiao Ning, but was stopped by Chu Qingxian.
"Don't be impulsive! Qian'er! Xue Lian is here too!"
There was a hint of warning in Chu Qingxian's voice. She held Chu Qian tightly, fearing that she would do something dangerous.
At this moment, the atmosphere became extremely tense, like a taut string that could break at any time. Everyone's eyes converged together, forming an intricate network, and at the center of this network, Xue Lian's figure seemed particularly mysterious and terrifying.
