Chapter 46: It

"You have hunted me many times; this time, you have finally fallen into my hands!"

"New grudges and old scores, let's settle them all today!"

At this moment, the gaze Lu Chuan directed at Jiang Luoli revealed a chilling murderous intent! Although he had not actively provoked humans since he transmigrated, it did not mean he was a pushover in their eyes. Yet, this woman had harassed him repeatedly, which kept a fire of rage burning within him.

In particular, Jiang Luoli was a woman of mysterious origins and mysterious methods, and she knew many mysterious things, posing far too great a threat to him. This made Lu Chuan extremely wary of her. "Today, only one of us will leave here alive!"

After gritting his teeth and muttering to himself, Lu Chuan lunged to kill once more.

Now that he and Jiang Luoli had formed a life-and-death feud, there was no possibility of a peaceful meeting; it would only end when Jiang Luoli died, or he was suppressed and subdued by her.

During the lunge, Lu Chuan felt the Blood Seal on his forehead glowing brighter and growing hotter, and his rage intensified immediately. "And this damn thing!"

"What exactly did you do to me!"

Even now, he could not shake off the connection from this Blood Pact; every time he got too close, this woman Jiang Luoli would immediately have Perception of it.

With both sides refusing to admit defeat or give up, once they sensed the other's presence, it was bound to lead to a conflict!

Jiang Luoli even used this connection to find him several times and launch sudden attacks.

If not for the system and his many underlings helping him hunt, he likely would have let her succeed.

Therefore, Lu Chuan had long wanted to erase this Blood Seal, and at this moment, he opened his gaping maw wide and bit down.

"Golden Cicada Sheds Its Shell was already used last time; I haven't refined a second one..."

In this unique space, Jiang Luoli hovered in mid-air, thoughts flashing rapidly through her mind.

That she could still think calmly at such a critical moment had to be attributed to the fact that she had lived for so long; such trifles meant nothing to her, and she was certainly not going to panic now. "Fortunately, the treasure obtained this time is the Hunyuan Flag; even if I am no match for the Poison King, I can still retreat unscathed."

"It's just... if only I had mastered these two treasures before encountering the Snake King!"

She stared at Lu Chuan, her eyes flickering with reluctance and resentment. After a long while, she gritted her teeth and whispered to herself, "Fine, I'll let you go for now!"

"Once I have completely mastered the Hunyuan Flag, I will come back for you!"

Jiang Luoli's expression was calm; she used an extraordinary movement technique to dodge the attack, still having the composure to think about how to respond next.

At this moment, facing the charging Lu Chuan, she thought to herself that she could not resist head-on this time, and there was no time to dodge. She immediately raised the Black Flag in her hand, while her other hand quickly formed various hand seals. Before long, a profound aura erupted from it, and this profound aura grew increasingly vigorous.

"This thing is..."

Out of wariness for the unknown, when Lu Chuan saw the change in the Black Flag, his sweeping giant tail paused slightly, vaguely feeling that if he touched it, something very bad might happen.

The next second, the Black Flag in Jiang Luoli's hand suddenly erupted with a dense black light. This black light's aura was exceptionally profound, seemingly superior to any power, which made Lu Chuan even more vigilant, causing even his movements to stall.

One second... two seconds...

However, Lu Chuan waited for the black light to strike him, but after quite a while, nothing happened, which left him in a state of shock and suspicion.

He watched with his own eyes as the black light shrank rapidly, stopping to the side in wariness, yet nothing occurred.

When the black light before his eyes dissipated, Jiang Luoli had also vanished from the spot.

"Could it be a Space Exotic Treasure?" Lu Chuan regained his senses, feeling suspicious inside, and still approached the place where the black light had erupted very cautiously.

Now that Jiang Luoli had obtained such a treasure, she could withdraw and leave at any time. In this way, it would likely be difficult to kill her in the future! Thinking this, Lu Chuan continued to search for her tracks cautiously, even using Blood Hunting again to find her through the connection, but he still found nothing.

"Forget it!"

A moment later, Lu Chuan gave up on searching for Jiang Luoli and turned his gaze to the stone tower on the other side. "If that woman ran, she ran; this just proves she is no match for me right now!"

"But there seems to be another treasure inside that she didn't have time to take!"

"I might as well see what this treasure is like!"

While pondering, Lu Chuan approached the stone tower, his snake eyes staring at the Golden Mace above for a long time, but he could not make heads or tails of it, only feeling that this thing was indeed extraordinary.

After some deliberation, he swung his tail and swept it across, wanting to coil around the Golden Mace and take it away.

Bang—

But the next instant, Lu Chuan suddenly touched a hard barrier; between him and the Golden Mace, there was a nearly transparent energy layer.

After he touched it, patterns flashed across the energy layer, similar to what he had seen outside the Black Flag just now.

"There's a seal blocking it too?"

In an instant, Lu Chuan was in a bit of a bind.

He had grown to his current state by relying on the system and constant devouring, and whether before or after his transmigration, he had never studied such matters, so he had no idea how to break the seal on this.

"Damn it!"

"The treasure is right before my eyes, but I can't get it myself!"

Lu Chuan cursed inwardly, circling around the Golden Mace, hoping to find some flaws to take advantage of and seize it, but after looking for a long time, he failed.

"Look!"

"What is that over there?"

At this very moment, outside Yixiantian Canyon, because of this peculiar celestial phenomenon, many exotic beasts were attracted and gathered in the vicinity.

These exotic beasts growled repeatedly, using their roars for Communication, and many more exotic beasts squeezed to the front, needing only one leap to step into the crack in mid-air, but for now, no one went in.

As time passed, more and more exotic beasts gathered, making the place increasingly lively.

Among them, a bold exotic beast, seeing that if things continued this way, even if there were opportunities in the crack, it would likely add more competitors, immediately let out a roar and lunged into the crack in mid-air. "Forget it, I'll go in and see!"

"Ah..."

However, the moment that exotic beast entered the crack, it seemed to encounter something extremely terrifying and screamed in agony instantly.

The exotic beasts looked at each other in dismay; while staring at one another, they also kept an eye on what would follow inside the crack, but that exotic beast never made another sound, as if... it had vanished into thin air.
