Chapter 733

"Humble, low-class human, you dare to resist this General..." The dark-skinned woman was suddenly furious and roared in a deep voice.

Boom!

Suddenly, a loud noise came from outside the prison, as if a heavy object had slammed into the ground.

Following that, countless screams erupted everywhere.

"What's going on?"

The woman was startled, and the several giant men behind her were also moved; they all turned to look outside the gate.

Xu Que also looked up, simultaneously opening his Divine Sense and sweeping it out.

He saw that outside the gate, several huge tent camps were being enveloped by powerful Dharma spells.

The entire sky seemed to be swallowed, with countless wisps of heavenly thunder descending from above; it looked exactly like someone undergoing a tribulation.

But in reality, this was a Dharma spell!

"Boom!"

Accompanied by the falling thunder, the ground was constantly shattered, and many giant men dressed as soldiers were also scurrying around holding their heads.

A few of them were unlucky; before they could run a few steps, they were instantly struck by the thunder, falling to the ground on the spot, flesh and blood muddled.

Some roared toward the sky, casting Dharma spells, wanting to kill their way into the sky, but under the power of the thunder, they were unable to resist at all and also fell from the sky.

"Damn, so fierce?"

At this moment, Xu Que was suddenly shocked. The power of this heavenly thunder spell was far more powerful than it looked.

After all, those giant men were all at the Body Integration Stage!

Even Xu Que himself, apart from the Qiankun Seal and the King of Acting Cool Fist, had no way to severely injure these people with an ordinary Dharma spell in one move.

"Daring to mess around in this General's camp, you're courting death!"

Suddenly, the woman standing beside Xu Que shouted coldly in anger, and then her figure flickered.

With a 'whoosh', she turned into a blood-red light and charged straight out.

After the several giant men exchanged glances, they did not follow her, continuing to stay behind to watch Xu Que, preventing him from escaping in the chaos!

"With so many Body Integration Stage experts guarding me, a Void Refinement Stage cultivator, wouldn't that be a bit too cowardly? Hurry out and help; I promise I won't run!" Xu Que looked at them with a smile and said.

However, the giant men didn't even lift their eyelids, showing no intention of paying attention to Xu Que at all, still standing there like wooden stakes, their two-meter-plus tall bodies standing straight; in this narrow cage, they were just like pillars.

Seeing that they were not good at conversation, Xu Que had no choice but to shake his head, no longer saying anything, his gaze continuing to look outside.

It might be that a restriction had been placed in this cage; Xu Que's Divine Sense could only scan everything inside the cage but could not rush out of the gate.

So at this moment, he could only observe with his naked eyes to see what kind of great expert was causing such a scene in the camp.

But after a while, Xu Que was dumbfounded.

He saw a figure suddenly dart into the sky; it was precisely that black woman who had previously claimed to be a General.

Her expression was hurried, and she seemed to be rising into the sky to escape, but she was instantly struck by a golden light spell!

Bang!

Amidst a muffled sound, the black woman fell straight from the sky, coughing up a large amount of blood, slamming heavily into the ground, causing the ground to crack.

Whoosh!

Following that, a red figure swept out, and with a wave of her slender hand, several bolts of lightning descended from the sky, striking the black woman on the spot, suppressing and killing her right there.

"Hongyan?"

Xu Que couldn't help but exclaim in shock, dumbfounded.

Because the figure that suppressed and killed the black woman was actually Jiang Hongyan!

A peak Tribulation Transcendence Stage existence was actually killed by her so easily; the whole process was smooth and flowing, without the slightest effort!

The most critical point was that Jiang Hongyan's current realm was only at the second layer of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage!

"Truly amazing, my Sister Hongyan!" Xu Que muttered to himself involuntarily.

Originally, he thought Jiang Hongyan's strength was just about there, stronger than the ancestors of those families and sects in the Four Great Continents, but after all, she was at the second layer of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage; compared to those foreign experts, she probably wasn't much inferior!

Who would have thought she was so fierce, directly and easily suppressing and killing a Tribulation Transcendence Stage expert, and it was even a peak Tribulation Transcendence Stage realm!

According to this crushing strength, it was very likely that she was enough to fight a Great Vehicle Stage expert!

"No wonder... she dared to come to the Xuanzhen Continent alone. It turns out this strength is not a bit inferior to mine... no, I reckon it's even more powerful than mine!" Xu Que suddenly smiled bitterly. He had been invincible for too long and had truly underestimated Jiang Hongyan's strength!

Perhaps before this, Xu Que was indeed stronger than Jiang Hongyan.

But ever since Jiang Hongyan finished her Heavenly Tribulation and stepped into the Void Refinement Stage, she began to become unfathomable.

Especially after she spent several years awakening from the Eternal Life Hall, her strength had been constantly growing, to the point where she now possessed the strength of the second layer of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage and could slaughter in all directions!

"General!"

At this moment, the several giant men in the cage suddenly roared out.

They also saw the scene of the black woman being suppressed and killed by Jiang Hongyan, and their eyes were instantly split with rage!

Boom!

The figures of the several people instantly stirred up a wild wind, rushing out of the cage in extreme fury, no longer caring about Xu Que.

But Jiang Hongyan stood outside, her expression still calm, and between her slender jade fingers, a brilliant golden light was always flickering.

Whoosh!

She waved her hand slightly, understated, and the Dharma followed; above the sky, a patch of lightning and thunder was instantly summoned, striking down from the sky!

Boom!

With a muffled sound, the several giant men were instantly blasted to the ground by the lightning, their bodies cracking, blood flowing out.

Subsequently, a golden light swept across their throats, and after they struggled for a moment, they completely breathed their last!

At this moment, the entire camp became incomparably quiet, silent as death.

Xu Que was full of astonishment, still unable to recover even now.

The strength Jiang Hongyan displayed simply exceeded his imagination!

"Whoosh!"

At this moment, Jiang Hongyan raised her hand again, her slender finger suddenly pointing toward Xu Que's side.

"Clang!"

Accompanied by a crisp metallic sound, a golden light severed the Immortal-Suppressing Iron Chain on Xu Que's wrist, allowing him to regain his freedom.

Xu Que's mouth twitched instantly. This Immortal-Suppressing Iron Chain was so awesome; although he might have been able to unlock it after stepping into the Body Integration Stage, he still hadn't expected Jiang Hongyan's understated finger to unlock it!

Eh, wait, that's not right. In that case, didn't the 5,000 Acting Cool Points I just spent go to waste?

"System, System, get out here, I want a refund! You don't need to unlock the Immortal-Suppressing Iron Chain anymore!" Xu Que immediately summoned the system and shouted in his heart.

The system responded coldly: "Ding, after detection, the unlocking progress of the Immortal-Suppressing Iron Chain has reached 60%, so only 2,000 Acting Cool Points will be refunded!"

Hearing this, Xu Que finally regained a bit of balance in his heart.

It turned out the Immortal-Suppressing Iron Chain had already been 60% unlocked; the remaining 40% couldn't withstand Jiang Hongyan's finger, which was acceptable. Otherwise, her strength would truly be defying the heavens!

"Little guy!"

At this moment, Jiang Hongyan had already arrived in front of Xu Que, her gaze deep, looking directly at him.

Xu Que was instantly looked at with a guilty conscience, and he touched his nose with a sheepish smile.

He understood the meaning of Jiang Hongyan's look; she wanted to blame him for not coming, but she couldn't bear to speak the blame.

"Eh, Hongyan, is this the Xuanzhen Continent? It's really not simple; even the people grow so tall, like pillars!" Xu Que immediately changed the subject, pointing at the dead giant men on the ground and saying.

"They are the Heavenly Beast Race!" Jiang Hongyan shook her head and said softly.

"Heavenly Beast Race? Could it be a combination of demon beasts and humans?" Xu Que asked.

In fact, he had already heard the black woman mention the Heavenly Beast Race just now, and he also felt the aura of demon beasts from these people.

But strangely, on Five Elements Mountain and the Four Great Continents, he had seen many descendants of demon beasts and humans; for example, Su Ling'er also belonged to this race, but in terms of aura, it was always different from these Heavenly Beast Race members!

"No, they are not pure demon race; they just drink human blood and demon beast blood from a young age, and they never absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but instead seize the True Essence of demon beasts and humans, so their bodies are powerful and their strength is extraordinary!" When Jiang Hongyan said this, her expression became slightly cold, as if she had some hatred toward the Heavenly Beast Race.

Xu Que was also stunned; he didn't expect there to be such a frantic cultivation method in the world—drinking human blood and demon beast blood, and also seizing other people's cultivation, eventually evolving into a new race.

Does this count as a kind of alternative genetic modification?

"What method do they use to seize other people's cultivation?" Xu Que asked earnestly.

Because he remembered the black woman's actions just now, it was very likely that she wanted to use the dual cultivation method to take away all his cultivation.

Jiang Hongyan shook her head slightly: "Any method works. Just when I woke up, they were preparing to use a knife to cut open my bloodline, but I stopped them. You should be alright, right?"

"Me? Of course I'm fine. Just now, that black woman coveted my handsome face and wanted to force herself on me, but at that time, I was thinking about your safety, so I firmly refused her." Xu Que said righteously.

Hearing this, Jiang Hongyan couldn't help but purse her lips and smile slightly, seemingly a bit happy to hear Xu Que say this, thinking about her safety.

"Next time you encounter this situation, protect yourself first!" she said softly.

"How can that be? If something happens to you, what's the point of me living?" Xu Que immediately patted his chest and said, speaking without thinking.

Jiang Hongyan was stunned for a moment, seemingly only now understanding why Xu Que insisted on following her into this Xuanzhen Continent!

If something happens to you, what's the point of me living?

This sentence kept echoing in Jiang Hongyan's heart...

After a moment, Xu Que looked around and asked suspiciously: "Eh, with such a big commotion, why hasn't anyone come to support them?"

Jiang Hongyan had also recovered by now, glanced at the outside lightly, and replied softly: "They are all dead!"

"Ah?" Xu Que widened his eyes immediately, "You mean, the people in this camp are all dead?"

"Yes!" Jiang Hongyan nodded calmly.

"You killed them all?"

"Yes!"

"Just in that moment, you killed them all?"

"Yes!"

"Wow..."

Xu Que had to be shocked again.

This camp had at least several hundred Body Integration Stage experts, and as a result, they were all killed by Jiang Hongyan just like that.

And that black woman at the peak of the Tribulation Transcendence Stage could only hold on for a few rounds in front of Jiang Hongyan before being instantly defeated!

Her strength was truly extraordinary!

If he were to step into the Body Integration Stage in the future, without relying on the Qiankun Seal and the King of Acting Cool Fist, he reckoned he would be just like that, or perhaps he wouldn't even be able to do it as easily as her!

"As expected!" Xu Que nodded with great emotion.

Jiang Hongyan was stunned, "What?"

Xu Que revealed a brilliant smile and said: "The ancients say, 'One who stays near vermilion gets stained red, one who stays near ink gets stained black.' Little Hongyan, you've been with me for so long, your strength has finally improved; I am deeply gratified!"

Jiang Hongyan couldn't help but laugh along, saying unhappily: "Little guy, don't always be so old-fashioned!"

"Hey, I call this mature! Come, come, little girl, give me your hand; Brother Xu Que will take you to brave the world!" Xu Que laughed, and without further ado, he took Jiang Hongyan's soft, boneless hand and stepped out of the cage.

Jiang Hongyan smiled slightly and followed naturally, seemingly having gotten used to Xu Que holding her hand like this, a trace of warmth in her eyes.

Subsequently, her crimson lips parted slightly, and she reminded him softly: "This place is a battlefield branch of the Heavenly Beast Race, with over a hundred camps. If we go out like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to leave!"

"What?" Xu Que's footsteps paused, and he stopped, stunned: "So we are still on someone else's turf, and you still caused such a big commotion? Aren't you afraid they will surround and kill us after they find out?"

"Worried you were in danger!" Jiang Hongyan looked at Xu Que calmly and replied.

Seemingly understated, a simple answer, yet it made Xu Que feel inexplicably warm in his heart.

He held Jiang Hongyan's slender hand, tightened it slightly, and laughed: "It's fine, just now you brought me out, now it's my turn to take you out!"

"Okay!" Jiang Hongyan also smiled and nodded, unconditionally agreeing with his words.

Xu Que saw this change in his eyes and was happy in his heart.

Subsequently, under Jiang Hongyan's explanation, Xu Que also roughly understood the situation of this Heavenly Beast Race battlefield branch.

The entire battlefield branch was roughly located with over a hundred camps, similar in scale to the camp they were currently in, with dozens of Body Integration Stage and hundreds of Void Refinement Stage experts, as well as one or two Tribulation Transcendence Stage little generals sitting in command; the comprehensive strength was very fierce!

Each camp was almost connected; if anyone had an accident, it would attract the attention of other camps.

Jiang Hongyan caused such a big commotion just now, yet it didn't alert other camps; it was probably because her fortune was truly amazing.

The camp they were currently in happened to be unable to be tied together with other camps due to the terrain, retreating to the mountain at the very back, so until now, they hadn't been discovered.

However, if they wanted to return to the human territory, there was only one road left; they had to pass through the hundred camps in front. Otherwise, if they went backward, they would go straight into the Heavenly Beast Race's tribe, which was equivalent to a sheep entering a tiger's mouth!

But passing through a hundred camps, how could it be easy?

Although Jiang Hongyan's strength was extraordinary, if they alerted a hundred Tribulation Transcendence Stage experts at the same time, they probably wouldn't be able to resist.

"Looks like I have to pull some tricks... pfft, no, looks like I have to win by wit!" Xu Que's eyes shone, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.

"Thought of a way?" Jiang Hongyan asked with a faint smile.

"Yes, the best way to deal with such a large number of enemies is... to defeat them from the inside!" Xu Que nodded, the smile on his face becoming even richer.

Obviously, he had already thought of a ghost idea.

The Heavenly Beast Race had a characteristic: the men were all very sturdy, most of them over two meters tall, and some even over three meters; the women, however, were the more petite and fierce they were, the darker their skin, the more powerful they were. The thicker the beastly aura on their bodies, the higher their realm and strength!

That day, Xu Que produced two Heaven-Grade Disguise Puppets, changing his and Jiang Hongyan's body shape and appearance, including their aura, to be exactly the same as the Heavenly Beast Race, completely blending in, unable to distinguish the real from the fake.

Subsequently, this guy found over a hundred sheets of black paper from the black woman's tent camp.

This kind of paper was commonly used by the Heavenly Beast Race.

Xu Que took out a pen and, imitating the writing of the Heavenly Beast Race, began to write profusely on it!

"I am Er Gouzi from the Zha Tian Bang. Tens of thousands of years ago, this God Venerable died in the Immortal-Demon Great War. The other party threw my corpse into the small river by the path and then fled. This God Venerable condensed this letter with ten thousand years of resentment. After you see this letter, please transcribe it to four people. If you don't pass it on, your mother will die in thirty days, and your father will be swallowed by a demon beast. If you do as I say, in five days, the person you like will like you, and your wishes will come true! Sorry, I am not Er Gouzi, it's just that this message is too poisonous, I have to send it to you!"
