Chapter 193: Brats Afraid of Rats? Demonic Rats Unfazed by Law-infused Flames
“The barrier is finally broken.”
The people attacking the barrier formation all breathed a sigh of relief.
“I wonder what kind of treasure is inside?”
After a moment, their eyes revealed anticipation.
Having gathered three Martial Emperors and more than thirty Martial Saints, and expending so much effort to break this barrier formation, the treasure inside must be extraordinary.
“Emperor’s Sense can’t probe the situation inside? Such a dense demonic Qi.” A slender, red-haired, red-clad female Martial Emperor frowned slightly.
She had just tried to probe the Demonic Valley with her Emperor’s Sense, but found that she could only detect a large amount of demonic Qi. This demonic Qi was actually able to affect her Emperor’s Sense, preventing her from penetrating it to investigate the situation inside the Demonic Valley.
“You two, as Martial Emperors, if we were to fight over a treasure, wouldn’t it make the juniors laugh? How about we let the juniors go in and compete, and the three of us wait outside?” At this time, another tall, white-haired Martial Emperor suggested.
“I agree.”
The red-haired, red-clad female Martial Emperor nodded.
Then the two of them looked at Chu Feng’s spirit body, and the white-haired Martial Emperor asked, “What do you think, Fellow Daoist?”
At this time, the cultivators were divided into three camps. The white-haired Martial Emperor and the red-clad female Martial Emperor each had more than ten Martial Saints behind them, while Chu Feng’s spirit body stood alone.
Chu Feng’s spirit body was a little speechless. Wasn’t this deliberately targeting him? Judging by the posture of these two guys, if he didn’t agree, they would definitely join forces to deal with him.
And if he agreed, there would be no one to compete with the Martial Saints under their command for the treasure. They were really playing a good game.
Little did they know, this was exactly what he wanted.
He only wanted to stop these two Martial Emperors. As for those Martial Saints, they were no match for the two little ones.
If these two Martial Emperors didn’t make a move, he wouldn’t have to expend too much energy and could even stay a little longer.
However, these two guys wanted to scheme against him, so he couldn’t let them off so easily.
Thinking of this, he smiled and said, “You two Fellow Daoists are clearly trying to prevent me from snatching the treasure, aren’t you?”
The white-haired Martial Emperor and the red-clad female Martial Emperor did not speak, but just looked at him quietly, their auras slowly gathering.
They came from two Sacred Grounds and naturally wouldn’t allow an outsider to snatch the treasure.
Chu Feng’s spirit body was not flustered, and said lightly, “It’s not impossible for me to give up competing for this treasure, but you have to give me something in exchange, right?”
The white-haired Martial Emperor and the red-clad female Martial Emperor exchanged a glance, and the red-clad female Martial Emperor asked, “What do you want, Fellow Daoist?”
Chu Feng’s spirit body smiled and said, “Saint Weapons, Saint-level talismans, Saint-grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures, a little bit of each.”
The white-haired Martial Emperor frowned and said, “Just these?”
These things were indeed treasures to ordinary cultivators, but they were almost useless to Martial Emperors.
Chu Feng’s spirit body glanced at him and said lightly, “If I asked for Emperor Weapons or Emperor-level treasures, you might not have them. Even if you did, you wouldn’t hand them over. Why would I ask for the impossible?”
The white-haired Martial Emperor and the red-clad female Martial Emperor were speechless. That was true, but they always felt that something was not quite right.
Chu Feng’s spirit body continued, “Also, give me a map of the Nine Provinces.”
“A map of the Nine Provinces? What do you want that for?” The red-clad female Martial Emperor asked doubtfully.
“To look at for fun, can’t I?” Chu Feng’s spirit body said lightly.
To look at for fun?
Who would believe that?
However, this map of the Nine Provinces was not a treasure, so it didn’t matter if they gave it to him.
The white-haired Martial Emperor and the red-clad female Martial Emperor secretly communicated for a moment and agreed. They each took out two Saint Weapons, two Saint-level talismans, Saint-level formation stones, two Saint-grade heavenly materials and earthly treasures, and the red-clad female Martial Emperor took out an extra map of the Nine Provinces.
They had also sensed the commotion from the Cangzhou Provincial Governor’s Mansion earlier. That was two Martial Emperors fighting.
Including the newly ascended Second Elder Supreme of the Cangzhou Provincial Governor’s Mansion, there were only five Martial Emperors in the entire Cangzhou.
The Cangzhou Provincial Governor and the Grand Elder Supreme had gone to the Middle Province, leaving only the two of them and the Second Elder Supreme.
◈◈◈
The previous battle must have been between this unknown Martial Emperor who had popped up out of nowhere and the Second Elder Supreme of the Provincial Governor’s Mansion.
However, they were busy attacking the barrier formation and did not rashly use their Emperor’s Sense to investigate, so they did not know the specific situation of the battle.
But now that this unfamiliar Martial Emperor had arrived at the Cang Mountain Demonic Valley, the Second Elder Supreme of the Provincial Governor’s Mansion had probably suffered a great loss, otherwise he wouldn’t be afraid to show up.
This person was able to defeat the Second Elder Supreme, which meant his strength was quite good. If they really fought, they would have to expend a lot of effort, and the gains would not be worth the losses.
At this time, they still didn’t know that the Second Elder Supreme had been killed, otherwise they probably wouldn’t be so calm.
Chu Feng’s spirit body waved his hand and put away all these treasures. Although these things were useless to him, and not very useful to the two children, he had to get some benefits.
On the other hand, he carefully looked at the map of the Nine Provinces.
The two children said they wanted to go to the Middle Province. Now he didn’t have time to make that woman reopen the teleportation formation, so he could only find another way to the Middle Province.
“The closest to Cangzhou is Leizhou. Cross the Cang-Lei Provincial Sea, arrive at Leizhou, and you can take the teleportation formation from Leizhou to the Middle Province.”
Chu Feng’s spirit body looked at it and quickly planned a route for the two children.
However, he didn’t know about the grudge between the two children and the prodigies of Leizhou. This trip to Leizhou probably wouldn’t be peaceful.
The white-haired Martial Emperor and the red-clad female Martial Emperor saw Chu Feng’s spirit body staring at the map of the Nine Provinces, and although they were puzzled, they did not ask further. They waved their hands,
Roar!
Inside the Demonic Valley, the roars of beasts echoed, filled with a violent aura.
The white-haired Martial Emperor said, “The demonic beasts in this Demonic Valley are not ordinary demon beasts, but demonic creatures eroded by demonic Qi. They have no rationality and are even more ferocious and bloodthirsty. You must be careful.”
“Yes!”
Everyone responded in unison.
“Go.”
The white-haired Martial Emperor and the red-clad female Martial Emperor waved their hands, and the Martial Saints under their command flew into the Demonic Valley.
At the same time, in the core demonic cave deep underground in the Demonic Valley.
*Puchi!*
A small hoe emerged from the wall, digging out the last piece of soil. Then Chu Xin’s little head, covered in dirt, emerged from the hole. She looked around and found that this was a very large cave. In the middle of the cave was a black coffin with a crack open. Black demonic Qi continuously emanated from the crack in the black coffin, filling the entire cave.
Around the black coffin, there was a layer upon layer of giant black rats. Each giant rat was as big as a calf, and their bodies exuded a violent aura.
Chu Xin covered her eyes with her small, white hands, and her little head retracted back into the hole before she released her hands. She whispered, “Little Brother, there are a lot of disgusting big rats outside. Go and get rid of them. I don’t want to see them.”
Chu Xin feared nothing, except rats. It wasn’t exactly fear, but rather disgust at the sight of rats.
“Okay, leave it to me.”
Chu Chen patted his little chest and assured her. Then he flew out of the hole, holding the Two-Headed Fire Xi.
“There are so many.”
Even though Chu Chen was not afraid of rats, he couldn’t help but feel his scalp tingle at the sight of the layers upon layers of large rats.
He threw the Two-Headed Fire Xi in his arms out and said in a childish voice, “Little Pig, burn them all for me.”
*Roar!*
The Two-Headed Fire Xi let out a dragon’s roar, and terrifying flames swept out.
*Squeak squeak!*
The energy of the flames startled the sleeping rats. They opened their blood-red eyes and pounced fiercely at Chu Chen and the Two-Headed Fire Xi.
The cold, black demonic Qi surged with the rat swarm, and wherever it passed, the flames were actually extinguished by the cold demonic Qi.
*Roar!*
The Two-Headed Fire Xi was stunned. Its law-infused flames were extinguished just like that? This black demonic Qi is so powerful?
