Primordial Era: Jade Cauldron Forgot to Take on Disciples

Chapter 34 I have the strength of 200,000 jin, and you want me to scrub your back?

[Body of Karmic Fire: You have been ignited by karmic fire; your blood contains karmic fire, burning away boundless karmic forces]

Just as Yang Jian was wondering what use this supernatural power was.

A demon accidentally touched the blood he had spat out on the boulder, which was still burning with karmic fire.

Instantly, the demon was engulfed in black and red flames, and the intense pain caused it to run wildly in all directions.

The soldiers and demons it encountered along the way were set ablaze and plunged into intense suffering.

The flames spread rapidly, from one person to ten, and from ten to a hundred, until the surrounding area was transformed into a sea of ​​fire.

The battlefield fell silent instantly, and everyone fearfully distanced themselves from those who had ignited the karmic flames.

Even former comrades who had inadvertently gotten into trouble and wanted to rush to him for help were avoided by those around them.

Suddenly, countless tiny flying swords rose up on the battlefield, weaving through the crowd stained with karmic fire.

After the person died, the karmic fire on their body instantly burned them away, leaving only black ash on the spot, without even providing any essence.

It was the Azure Cloud Sword in the hands of the Imperial Envoy Mo Liqing that cleared the battlefield. If the fire were allowed to continue burning, neither side would have many survivors.

He took a deep look at Yang Jian in the center of the battlefield, his eyes filled with shock that seemed about to burst out of their sockets.

Such a terrifying figure, and Grand Tutor Wen actually wants to recruit him for his own use; it's hard to say whether this is a blessing or a curse.

Meanwhile, the barbarians continued to fire arrows, killing their own demons that had been engulfed in karmic fire.

After this turn of events, neither side had the will to fight again.

A dense chorus of gongs resounded from the allied forces of the feudal lords.

The battle is over.

Yang Jian exhaled deeply, a slightly burnt smell emanating from his lungs; the terrifying scene from just moments ago was still fresh in his memory.

Does this mean he'll have to bleed himself dry in the process of fighting?

This supernatural power is actually of the same lineage as the Water Cloud Body, both of which are not very useful.

However, it can be extremely useful at certain times.

Just like the Water Cloud Body and the Green Duckweed Sword Qi, the Karmic Fire Body and this battlefield.

"Yang Jian, get in the car."

Hearing the call, Yang Jian turned around and saw that it was Meiniang driving a bronze chariot to pick him up.

Yang Jian jumped onto the carriage in one swift motion, before he could even express his gratitude.

He then saw a black cat, transformed from a black tiger, sitting in the carriage. His expression immediately hardened, and he fell silent.

"Kid, what level have you reached with your Eight-Nine Arcane Skill? You just displayed your divine power, quite the spectacle indeed."

Black Tiger, however, took the initiative to ask Yang Jian a question.

Yang Jian glanced at him coldly and said indifferently, "No need for Master Hei to worry about it."

A murderous intent surged within him. This black cat must be able to guess that he had a secret and posed a great threat to him. There was no guarantee that it wouldn't suddenly attack him to prevent him from settling scores after he became stronger.

He must improve his strength as soon as possible.

Hehe~

Black Tiger gave a sinister smile.

The next instant, Yang Jian suddenly felt a sharp pain in his heart, as Black Tiger had activated the Heart-Eating Curse again.

Mei Niang noticed Yang Jian's change and said to Black Tiger, "Miss doesn't have the authority to arbitrarily activate the Heart-Eating Curse. If you displease Miss..."

She deliberately left it unsaid, letting Black Tiger figure it out himself.

Black Tiger's expression changed immediately. He stopped activating the Heart-Eating Curse and explained, "This kid's strength has increased so quickly. I think we can't let him live, otherwise he'll surely become a threat."

Mei Niang rolled her eyes: "Don't forget, you yourself are a tiger."

Yang Jian climbed the city wall, thus achieving the feat of being the first to scale it. Wen Zhong did not make things difficult for Yang Jian, but instead exempted him from punishment and indicated that he would not pursue the matter further.

As for Yang Jian's desire to become a disciple of the Jie Sect, Wen Zhong also relented.

He indicated that after the grand ceremony of offering sacrifices to Heaven in Chaoge, he would take Yang Jian to Jin'ao Island for a visit.

Whether Yang Jian can catch the eye of any of his senior uncles will depend entirely on his abilities.

This is the change brought about by Yang Jian's revealed strength.

Such a powerful figure was not someone Wen Zhong intended to leave to the Chan Sect. Before the Chan Sect noticed Yang Jian, he decided to win him over first.

When Yang Jian saw Su Daji again.

Su Daji played the pipa as she had yesterday.

At this moment, he sat on a rock, with his back to Yang Jian and facing the bright moon in front of the mountain, with the battlefield after the fighting in the distance.

The breeze blowing from the battlefield carried a heavy smell of blood, which mingled with the delicate fragrance emanating from Su Daji, creating a peculiar aroma.

The pipa playing sounded as awful as ever.

Yang Jian: "Don't force yourself if you can't play."

"Zheng~"

The sound of the pipa string snapping was crystal clear.

In a fit of rage, Su Daji threw her pipa at Yang Jian, who caught it with ease.

"I know your secret."

Su Daji made a startling statement.

"Oh? What secret? I don't even know it myself."

Yang Jian pretended to be stupid.

Deep down, however, a wave of emotion was stirring within him; his actions were indeed not discreet enough.

"Able to absorb spiritual essence for cultivation, how are you any different from a demon?"

Su Daji's eyes were playful as she swayed her hips and walked over, placing her slender hand on Yang Jian's broad chest. She continued, "Demons need to eat people or collect blood essence to absorb their spirit, and the refining process takes a long time. But you absorb spirit essence extremely quickly, and you don't even need to refine it."

Unrefined essence contains a great deal of resentment and impurities, making it extremely easy to go astray and become possessed by evil. However, I observe that you do not have this problem, so you can improve yourself through unrestrained killing.

Furthermore, the Eight-Nine Arcane Arts, which originally required painstaking practice, progresses extremely quickly under the impetus of the essence. Combined with your secrets, reaching the pinnacle of this world is only a matter of time.

"Tell me, if I were to reveal your secret, how many gods and immortals in this world would be interested in you? They would extract your soul and refine it until they obtain your secret."

"What do we do! The little beauty has discovered our secret. Either we make her one of us, or we make me her eyes."

Yang Jian opened his demonic eye between his brows and scoured Su Daji with unrestrained gaze.

A slight ripple stirred in Yang Jian's heart. Su Daji was right; she had guessed the power of the Demon Eye.

He never intended to hide from Su Daji, because he needed to improve himself, and there was no opportunity for him to do so secretly.

Su Daji's words were clearly not meant to show off her intelligence.

"Really? You can give it a try."

As Yang Jian spoke, his dantian suddenly stirred, agitating Su Daji's inner core, intending to teach her a lesson. At the same time, he gestured that he was still holding her inner core, telling her to think carefully before doing anything.

Su Daji's body suddenly went limp, and she was about to fall to the ground.

Yang Jian naturally wouldn't let her be so embarrassed, so he casually pulled Su Daji into his arms.

Su Daji's eyes were filled with resentment, and she was about to activate the Heart-Eating Curse to teach Yang Jian a lesson.

Yang Jian noticed that Su Daji's face was pale, as if she were suffering from blood deficiency, and subconsciously asked, "Are you injured?"

Su Daji's heart softened, but she quickly pulled away from Yang Jian's embrace, saying with disgust, "Don't touch me, you're covered in so much filthy blood, it's disgusting."

She stormed down the mountain in a fit of rage, only asking Meiniang to heat up bathwater so she could bathe and change.

Yang Jian quickly washed off the bloodstains that had accumulated on his body from a day of killing, and then came to Su Daji's tent.

After Su Daji finished washing, he wanted to immediately continue the conversation he had just finished and ask her what she meant.

The flickering candlelight cast Su Daji's silhouette onto the tent.

Her graceful figure and every gesture attracted many soldiers to stop and linger. Just catching a glimpse of Su Daji brought them great satisfaction.

Yang Jian did not drive them away.

"Yang Jian is such a good brother, he really shares good things with everyone."

"Yeah yeah."

People lingered there, reluctant to leave.

"Go away, go away! What are you looking at? If you look again, I'll gouge your eyes out."

Mei Niang ran out and chased away the soldiers who had surrounded them. Then she looked at Yang Jian and said, "Is this how you guard the place? You just let these people watch the young lady bathe?"

What can you see through the tent?

Yang Jian was interrupted by Meiniang halfway through his rebuttal.

"Alright, I'll keep watch. Miss wants you to come in and discuss something."

Yang Jian was pushed forward by Meiniang, and he realized that Su Daji wanted to continue the topic they had just finished.

But Su Daji was still taking a bath.

What does she want to do?

The heavy tent was lowered, and Yang Jian had already been pushed inside.

He did not see Su Daji bathing directly; Su Daji was sitting in the bathtub, and the steam rising from the tub blocked his view.

This was the second time the two had been alone in a room together, and Yang Jian couldn't help but think of the enchanting scene from that day.

With a gentle wave of her hand, Su Daji caused the demon core in his dantian to vibrate, and an invisible barrier enveloped the tent.

It's another silencing spell.

"Come here, get closer~"

Amidst the thick steam, a delicate hand reached out to call out to Yang Jian, the cardamom adorning the fingertips appearing exceptionally crimson against the backdrop of her fair skin.

Red, delicate hands, yellow rattan wine~

What came next?

Yang Jian could only resist temptation by distracting himself.

"Come and rub my back~"

I have the strength of 200,000 jin, and you want me to scrub your back?

That concludes the second update. See you tomorrow at 8 PM.

Thank you for reading.

Wishing everyone all the best.
