the fierce gaze originally directed at other factions suddenly changed, and without any warning, he turned and unhesitatingly chopped at the companion beside him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was not just one person!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All the Asura Sect disciples attacked simultaneously; threads of black flame drilled into the bodies of cultivants from different races.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A great battle erupted completely!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Controlled by the black flames, members of all races, except the Asura Sect disciples themselves, attacked others with ruthless ferocity, every move aimed at taking lives.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Holding her breath and hiding in the distance, Hua Changxi was horrified.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Asura Sect's method of controlling others through black flames was far more eerie and terrifying than she had imagined!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hmm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Disciples of the Asura Sect cultivated the path of yin flames and were exceptionally sensitive to the aura of yin flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yin flames stirred negative desires in people; although such desires were colorless, odorless, and formless, for those cultivating this path, they could be mutually perceived within a certain range.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the chaotic battle, an Asura Sect disciple seemed to sense something, his gaze suddenly snapping toward Hua Changxi's hiding spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next moment, he began chanting the incantation to control the black flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the distance, Hua Changxi, who had thought the chaos at Zhongyuankou had nothing to do with her, felt her heart suddenly constrict, as if grabbed tightly by an invisible hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Immediately after, a bewitching whisper echoed in her mind: Kill all factions in the Nine Netherworlds!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not good!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi's heart shook violently;

now, provoked by someone else, even though the back of her right hand hurt until it was numb, she could not pull her reason back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi slowly rose, black flames churning in her eyes as the black broken blade responded to her call; the next moment, her figure moved like a phantom, charging into the battlefield!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The blade edge sliced through the air; wherever it passed, members of the various races of the Nine Netherworlds controlled by black flames fell one after another, their souls dissipating and their bodies shattering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi's killing intent was piercing; like the God of Death descending, she struck without distinguishing friend from foe, cutting down everyone with a single slash!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Asura Sect disciples were greatly alarmed by the sight, especially the one controlling the black flames.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi's black flames burned noticeably fiercer; he suffered backlash, spitting blood as his qi flowed backward, leaving him utterly defenseless. Soon, Hua Changxi rushed over and slashed him to death with a single strike.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Flee!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Hua Changxi appeared, Lady White Bone's gaze had already locked死死 onto the broken black blade in her hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Watching Hua Changxi sweep through the various Nine Nether races as if chopping melons and slicing vegetables, she could no longer hide the terror on her face, her voice shrill as she urged Chu Junyi and the other five to escape.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even without Lady White Bone speaking, Chu Junyi and the other five now only wished to flee as far as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Whoosh~\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The White Bone Sedan transformed into a lingering shadow, instantly flying into Zhongyuankou.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One quarter of an hour later, the chaotic battle before Zhongyuankou came to an abrupt halt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Corpses littered the ground everywhere, and the air was filled with heavy turbid qi and the foul scent of dissipating soul force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hua Changxi stood holding her blade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the fall of the Asura Sect disciples, the forcibly imposed will dissipated; coupled with the stinging reminder from the black fish pattern, the killing desire in her heart finally ceased its rampant growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sensing the broken black blade in her hand vibrating violently, Hua Changxi, having regained a sliver of reason, swiftly stored it within the Shennong Cauldron, preventing the blade from devouring the corpses scattered everywhere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Afterward, she walked through the widespread devastation toward Zhongyuankou; although her eyes held a cold indifference, her brows remained tightly furrowed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Amidst the slaughter, she actually felt a sense of exhilaration!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reason warned her that this feeling was extremely dangerous and that she should leave the Nine Nether realms immediately rather than venturing deeper, yet reason ultimately failed to overcome desire; Hua Changxi still stepped to the edge of Zhongyuankou and leaped into its depths.\u003C\u002Fp>",1697,"2026-06-12T02:51:24.126Z",1,"Qwen3.5 397B","21be0758c32a151f61f0bc1bf546fbc5d15c5dca5229a4ad419d03de5fe4de55","the-great-jin-s-most-iron-rice-bowl-chapter-507","the-great-jin-s-most-iron-rice-bowl-chapter-505",558,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-great-jin-s-most-iron-rice-bowl-cover.jpg"]
