171: Mysterious Pearl, Black Water Serpent Skin

Nine Dragons battled the Black Water Profound Serpent. One Dragon was severely wounded, and three Dragons were injured. The Black Water Profound Serpent also sustained minor injuries with cracked scales.

Jiang Yunfan and Ji Yao arrived nearby.

Many Archaic Variant Species Vicious Beasts were attracted and hid nearby, waiting to strike after the Nine Dragons and the Black Water Profound Serpent were mutually wounded.

"I'll lend them a hand."

Ji Yao summoned her phoenix feather.

The phoenix feather transformed into a Fire Phoenix and attacked the Black Water Profound Serpent.

"It's a Phoenix."

"No, it's a Sacred Artifact."

Everyone hiding nearby noticed Ji Yao.

The Nine Dragons returned to Jiang Yunfan's side. Jiang Yunfan said coldly, "Useless, nine against one and you still couldn't win."

The Nine Dragons were too ashamed to raise their heads.

It wasn't that they were too weak; the Black Water Profound Serpent was too strong.

The Black Water Profound Serpent spat out weak water, extinguishing the Nirvana Divine Fire. The Phoenix tore at the Black Water Profound Serpent's scales with its sharp talons. The Black Water Profound Serpent coiled its tail around the Fire Phoenix. The Fire Phoenix, burning with Nirvana Divine Fire, scorched the Black Water Profound Serpent, which, in pain, released the Fire Phoenix.

"Little Butterfly, go help."

The Archaic Emperor Butterfly flew out from Jiang Yunfan's body and attacked the Black Water Profound Serpent. Space was cut, and the Black Water Profound Serpent's tough scales were sliced.

"What was that? So fast, a silver light flashed and was gone."

Everyone only saw a silver light and didn't see the Archaic Emperor Butterfly. Even with Divine Sense, they couldn't capture the Archaic Emperor Butterfly's trajectory.

Ji Yao said, "As expected of one of the Ten Great Archaic Strange Beasts, its strength is indeed formidable."

Among the Archaic Variant Species, there are ten kings, each extremely terrifying, and all have Cultivated to the Emperor Realm. It can be said that these Ten Great Archaic Strange Beasts are descendants of Emperors.

The Archaic Emperor Butterfly is ranked among the Ten Great Archaic Strange Beasts.

Under the combined assault of the Fire Phoenix and the Archaic Emperor Butterfly, the Black Water Profound Serpent suffered severe injuries. The Black Water Profound Serpent did not continue fighting. It spat out a mouthful of weak water and took the opportunity to escape.

The experts hiding in the dark all went to pursue the heavily injured Black Water Profound Serpent.

Ji Yao said, "Hurry and chase!"

Jiang Yunfan said, "Why chase it? There's no need."

Ji Yao said, "Inside the Black Water Profound Serpent is the Xuanyuan Pearl, which contains the essence of the Black Water Profound Serpent. Obtaining the Xuanyuan Pearl allows one to control any true water in the world, and refining it can also increase magical power. The Black Water Profound Serpent's skin is a top-grade Material for refining defensive Spiritual Artifacts; its entire body is a treasure."

"No wonder those people went to hunt the Black Water Profound Serpent! We can't let them benefit for free. Let's go, we'll chase in the nine dragon carriage."

The two rode the nine dragon carriage to pursue the heavily injured Black Water Profound Serpent.

The Black Water Profound Serpent was being besieged by two Nirvana Realm Great Experts.

"The Xuanyuan Pearl inside the Black Water Profound Serpent is mine."

"Then its skin is mine."

The two divided the Black Water Profound Serpent.

A lean camel is still bigger than a horse; even heavily injured, the Black Water Profound Serpent's strength was still incredibly powerful. It spat out a mouthful of weak water, attacking the two.

"Profound Nether Divine Palm."

Qiao Beiming struck out with a palm, and the power of Profound Nether froze everything. The weak water was frozen, and the Black Water Profound Serpent was also frozen.

Song Tianyi's expression solidified. He didn't expect this person's strength to be so great, actually freezing the Black Water Profound Serpent. This person would definitely not share the Black Water Profound Serpent with him and would surely attack him.

Bang!

The Black Water Profound Serpent broke out of the ice.

It spat out the Xuanyuan Pearl, attacking Qiao Beiming.

Qiao Beiming quickly dodged the Xuanyuan Pearl but overlooked the Black Water Profound Serpent. He was struck by the Black Water Profound Serpent's attack, sent flying, and heavily injured, spitting blood.

Song Tianyi took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, cutting off Qiao Beiming's head with a sword. Qiao Beiming's Primordial Spirit was injured by the Sword Intent, making his injuries even more severe.

Song Tianyi seized the Xuanyuan Pearl.

Losing the Xuanyuan Pearl, the Black Water Profound Serpent's strength greatly diminished. Song Tianyi cut off the Black Water Profound Serpent's head with a single sword. The Black Water Profound Serpent died, and its massive body fell from the Void Realm.

The beheaded Qiao Beiming instantly grew a new head.

Nirvana Realm Great Experts can regrow severed limbs, and even a severed head can be regrown, though it consumes Origin Qi.

"You dare to attack me!"

Qiao Beiming's killing intent was fully revealed.

Song Tianyi sneered, "Wouldn't you have attacked me after killing the Black Water Profound Serpent anyway? I merely struck first to gain the upper hand. If you're sensible, hurry and get lost, otherwise, I don't mind striking you down with my sword."

The reason he didn't kill him completely was that he knew if Qiao Beiming fought with all his might, he would also be injured. He had already obtained the Xuanyuan Pearl and the Black Water Profound Serpent's corpse, so there was no need to fight Qiao Beiming to the death.

"I've noted this sword grudge, and I will surely seek revenge for it someday."

Qiao Beiming left, injured.

Song Tianyi swung his sword, stripping off the Black Water Profound Serpent's skin.

The Black Water Profound Serpent's body was incredibly massive; its skin was enough to refine dozens of defensive Spiritual Artifacts. In terms of value, the Black Water Profound Serpent's skin was even above the Xuanyuan Pearl.

Suddenly, nine Dragons pulled a carriage towards them.

Song Tianyi looked at Jiang Yunfan and Ji Yao, who were seated on the nine dragon carriage. These two had extraordinary identities; the woman even held a Sacred Artifact. Even with his Nirvana Realm Cultivation Level, he wouldn't gain any advantage.

"Hand over both the Xuanyuan Pearl and the Black Water Profound Serpent's skin!"

"You're too greedy; you want both the Xuanyuan Pearl and the Black Water Profound Serpent's skin."

"Who told me I have the strength for it?"

"If it weren't for those nine Dragons you have, I wouldn't even put you in my eyes. Wanting the Xuanyuan Pearl and the Black Water Profound Serpent's skin, you're dreaming."

Song Tianyi struck out with a sword, and ten thousand Sword Qi rained down on Jiang Yunfan and Ji Yao. The Nine Dragons blocked the Sword Qi with their magical power.

Song Tianyi broke free and fled.

A pagoda suppressed him, it was the qiankun pagoda.

The qiankun pagoda sealed the Void Realm, and Song Tianyi was immobilized, unable to move. He transformed his Gengjin Sword Intent into a golden sword and struck at the qiankun pagoda.

The qiankun pagoda could immobilize his body, but not his Sword Intent.

The Sword Intent injured the qiankun pagoda spirit, weakening the qiankun pagoda's power. Song Tianyi unleashed his magical power to break free from the confinement. As soon as he broke free, Jiang Yunfan appeared before him and grabbed his arm.

A devouring force continuously consumed Song Tianyi's magical power and essence.

The sword in Song Tianyi's hand flew out and stabbed towards Jiang Yunfan, but he was suddenly pierced through the head by the phoenix feather, and his Primordial Spirit was annihilated.

Ji Yao retrieved her phoenix feather.

Dare to touch her husband, die!

She was as protective as ever.

Jiang Yunfan devoured Song Tianyi, and his Chaos Power surged, his Cultivation Level directly Breaking through to the Dharma Aspect Mid-stage Realm.

The Xuanyuan Pearl, the Black Water Profound Serpent's skin, and Song Tianyi's storage ring all fell into Jiang Yunfan's hands.

Jiang Yunfan returned to Ji Yao's side. He handed the Xuanyuan Pearl to Ji Yao, "Yaoer, the Xuanyuan Pearl is for you."

Ji Yao didn't take it. "You should take it and refine it instead!"

"If I give it to you, just take it."

Jiang Yunfan forcefully put the Xuanyuan Pearl into Ji Yao's hand. "Once I find an Artifact Refiner to refine the Black Water Profound Serpent's skin into a defensive Spiritual Artifact, I'll give you one for protection."

He was never stingy with his wife.

He remembered her protection when he was still very weak.

He wished he could give her all the good things.
