Chapter 025: The Azure Giant Serpent's Defeat, the Ineffectiveness of the Soul!
Half a minute later, the head of the Azure Giant Serpent was severed, blood spraying everywhere.
"Heavenly Kill, what the hell are you dawdling for? Hurry up and collect the Jiao Snake Blood; it at least contains some Dragon Blood. Who knows, there might even be a trace of Dragon Blood in there. Get moving!" Yang Chen scolded with a laugh.
"Yes, Leader. Hehe, I’ll have some Dragon Blood to drink tonight," Lu Ying replied.
A group of people began to get busy, but Xie Yao did not join in. Instead, she walked up to Yang Chen and softly said, "You should take care of yourself."
"What do I need to worry about? Don't worry," Yang Chen confidently replied.
At that moment, from the corpse of the Azure Giant Serpent, a snake-shaped soul about one meter long floated out. However, it had two heads that forked at the neck, each adorned with two horns!
"Soul symbiosis, sigh, you..." Xie Yao sighed, wanting to say something but unsure how to express it, seemingly lamenting Yang Chen's fate.
Yang Chen suddenly grinned mischievously and said, "Xie Yao, I want to make a bet with you as friends. Are you in?"
Xie Yao was taken aback, unsure of what Yang Chen was up to. "What do you want to bet on?"
Yang Chen stepped closer, his face just a centimeter away from Xie Yao's, both feeling the heat of each other's breath. "I bet that I won't die. If I don't die, you have to kiss me."
Xie Yao calmly took a step back to steady her racing heart and feigned calmness as she said, "If you win, all the benefits are yours. If you lose, what can I give you?"
Yang Chen sat down casually and said lazily, "If I die, you get nothing. So you can only bet that I won't die; then you'll have to take good care of yourself afterward. So tell me decisively—are we betting or not?"
Xie Yao bit her lip and said, "I want to see what else you can do. I'll bet with you."
"It should have been this way from the start; be decisive. But remember the terms of our bet; don’t go back on your word later."
"You think I'm like those stinky men who only know how to deceive girls?"
"It seems like you have your own stories too?"
"Hmph, who are you to care? You said it yourself, you're not the leader of the Yongbing group now, and you're also not the second vice leader of the Crimson Tooth Yongbing group."
"Alright, alright, I can't control you. Just wait and see how I beat you," he said, then walked in front of the Twin Souls, reaching out to touch it, only to pass right through. No physical attack could harm it.
Xie Yao watched Yang Chen's departing figure and murmured, "Not bad." After that, she lightly spat and blushed, saying, "What am I thinking?"
"Leader, it's useless. No matter how we attack, it remains unharmed," Lu Shadow One said anxiously. After learning about Yang Chen's situation from Xie Yao, Lu Shadow One was trying to find a way to attack the Symbiotic Soul.
"Leader, we've really tried our best," Zhang Tian said with a gloomy expression. They had heard Xie Yao and Yang Chen talking while collecting Jiao Snake Blood.
"Brothers, it's fine. Why do you all look so miserable? Even if there's a problem, I'm still alive. Hey, why are your eyes watering? Did sand get in? Wipe them clean! How did I end up with a useless kid like you who tears up at a gust of wind? Are you a girl?"
"I'm sorry, Leader. It's our fault."
"Yang Chen, what's wrong with girls? Aren't they still stronger than you?"
Yang Chen chuckled and replied, "How strong? In bed? Want to try another day?"
"You!" Xie Yao stomped her feet in embarrassment and anger, showing a hint of a little girl’s demeanor.
"Ha ha, a group of men laughed heartily."
Suddenly, the Twin Souls opened its eyes and spoke human words, staring at Yang Chen: "Did you kill Xiao Qing?"
"The Symbiotic Soul state can lead to many unexpected occurrences; speaking human words is nothing unusual," Xie Yao explained.
Yang Chen nodded and stepped forward, saying, "That's right, it was me."
"Then go accompany her in death! Soul Shattering Chant!" A piercing soul attack rushed toward him in an instant. Yang Chen flicked his right hand holding the Dragon Silk Sword, producing waves of green sword chants that dispelled 'Soul Shattering Chant'.
"Hmph, even if soul attacks are ineffective against you, you're still dead today. Blood sacrifice!" With that, it fixed its gaze on Yang Chen as the remaining blood of Azure Snake on him suddenly ignited.
"Don't go near; getting tainted by those flames would be troublesome," Xie Yao warned the restless group.
Yang Chen calmly covered himself with fighting spirit to resist the sacrificial fire while enduring pain that pierced his bones. 90%, 86%, 70%, 66%. His fighting spirit was depleting at a rate of 4% per second; if it was completely consumed, Yang Chen would fall under the sacrificial fire.
However, before the energy was exhausted, Yang Chen would definitely take measures to resolve this crisis. He frantically operated the "Demon God Strategy," trying to recover some energy. The intense operation of the "Demon God Strategy" stimulated the flow of green essence within his body, weaving through Yang Chen's system. As the sacrificial fire burned, it gradually fused into Yang Chen's flesh and blood, forcing out some impurities that clung to his skin.
55%, 60%, 63%, 70%. "Is the energy recovering? Even if the 'Demon God Strategy' is powerful, it shouldn't recover this quickly, right?"
Enduring immense pain in his body, Yang Chen performed introspection to observe the abnormalities within. The green essence merged with his flesh and blood, while some transformed into pure filaments flowing towards the green orb in his Dantian. The green orb resonated with the gray orb produced by the "Demon God Strategy."
Then, a thread finer than a hair emerged from the green orb, and similarly, a thread finer than a hair emerged from the gray orb. The two differently colored threads slowly intertwined and merged, forming a small pea-shaped orb that was half gray and half green, appearing extraordinarily vibrant. The two orbs continued to transmit energy to the bicolor orb.
"I see now," Yang Chen said with a smile. He then mobilized the remaining green essence at his forehead's Nine-Pointed Star, slowly covering his entire body, using the sacrificial fire to refine the green essence and eliminate impurities from his body.
"You no longer have any soul power to control these flames, do you?" Yang Chen said with a smile to the symbiotic soul.
"You! Why is the sacrificial fire ineffective against you?" the symbiotic soul said weakly.
"I already have means to suppress you; I just wanted to see what abilities you truly possess. Now, you are of no use to me—be my servant," Yang Chen said casually.
"What do you want to do?" A sense of unease surged within the symbiotic soul. Watching Yang Chen's wicked smile, it gradually felt anxious and suddenly turned to flee towards the Sky.
"Impossible! This is a soul attack; how can your weapon's sword chant break through it?" the symbiotic soul exclaimed in astonishment.
"Nothing is impossible. You mastered this soul combat technique through bloodline inheritance, but unfortunately, your power is too weak; it doesn't match my Divine Weapon's protective power," Yang Chen said nonchalantly.
