I have the best bloodline

As Su Yan spoke, she placed her hand on the sash at her waist and began to untie it.

Beside her, Princess Wuxi looked surprised, not expecting Su Yan to be so serious.

When the secret technique of immortality takes human form, although it does not suppress the user's control over the spell, it does have the flaw of suppressing the physical power of the demon race.

The physical strength of the demon race is a very comprehensive influence, not just referring to the power that can be used. It also contains various regenerative abilities, mana capacity, and most importantly, aura.

Therefore, when Princess Wuxi saw Su Yan take off his shoes and prepare to untie his sash, she knew that Su Yan was really preparing to go all out.

This was an extremely rare occurrence; Princess Wuxi had never seen this adorable little fox unleash its full power before.

Even during the martial arts demonstration before the emperor, Su Yan never experienced the suppression of the demonic body by the secret technique of immortality. They fought from the first day of the Lunar New Year to the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

"We love watching this!"

When Elder Tao Hong's two female disciples saw that Su Yan seemed to be preparing to take off his clothes, their eyes lit up. They exchanged a glance and their eyes were filled with lust. They continued to look at Su Yan as he untied his sash and walked towards the arena.

Ugh. I misspelled the title again yesterday.

I'm sorry, I was wrong.

I'm adding an extra chapter at midnight to apologize.

Chapter 458 Su Yan's Adult Body

What are you doing?

Elder Tao Hong, who was already standing opposite, saw Su Yan take off his shoes and socks as soon as he stepped onto the edge of the arena, and then start to untie his clothes and tie, while also throwing his hair ornament aside, leaving her full of question marks.

But then Elder Tao Hong thought again. This was not the western state where she usually lived, but the Xia Yu Dynasty, which worshipped fox spirits. The little fox demon in front of her might use its charm in the upcoming battle.

Although her cultivation level meant that ordinary fox spirit charms were ineffective against her, Elder Tao Hong made no attempt to dissuade her. Instead, she watched with great interest as Su Yan folded her sash.

"All right!"

Su Yan put his belongings away, loosened the thin strap of his inner robe slightly, turned around and looked at Elder Tao Hong, who was watching him with great interest.

My aunt is relatively poor because of her hobbies, but when it comes to spending money on Su Yan, she really doesn't know how to be frugal. She bought a bolt of cloth that cost eight thousand catties of spirit stones without hesitation to make new clothes for Su Yan.

A bolt of cloth is over thirty meters long. Although Su Yan is only 1.6 meters tall and maintains his ageless figure using the secret technique, it still takes nine to thirteen meters of cloth to make a single set of clothes. A seemingly ordinary set of clothes requires more than two thousand catties of spirit stones.

Rather than clothes, it's more accurate to describe it as a magical robe that can offer some protection against spell damage.

"click"

After Su Yan untied all the ties on his clothes, his original height of about 1.6 meters began to increase, but no hair sprouted on his body. This was not a sign that he had entered the form of a demon beastman; he was simply growing taller.

Su Yan's slightly rounded cheeks had thinned out a bit, making her features appear more defined. Her pair of innocent, foxy eyes, when first seen, actually gave her a sharp look thanks to her face shape.

Su Yan raised his left hand and opened the spatial channel of the storage ring on his left hand. A stone handle that was neither copper nor iron protruded part of the way, but Su Yan knew that even with his arm span extended, he could not pull out the sacrificial knife. So, he slapped his hands together and shook the sacrificial knife out.

After Su Yan unleashed the sacrificial knife, due to the blood pact he had signed with Su Yan, it was driven by Su Yan's power to control objects and circle around Su Yan once before landing on Su Yan's left side so that its master could easily reach out and grasp it.

Su Yan gripped the sacrificial knife, revealing his arm through the sleeves that had lost their sashes. Due to the special nature of the robe, no one could see the blood vessels and flesh that spread out from Su Yan's arm as he gripped the sacrificial knife, connecting with his arm to form a dark red connective tissue that emitted blackish-red spiritual energy.

All the onlookers saw was Su Yan's figure grow taller, transforming from a naive boy into a handsome young man. The stone longsword he held, which did not fit his body, surged in his hand, transforming into a pure white longsword with black patterns.

"I love watching these."

When Elder Tao Hong's two female disciples saw Su Yan transform from a little brother into a big brother, with his clothes open and looking rather lewd, their eyes immediately lit up with hearts, and they began to praise the handsome fox.

"Isn't my Left Protector powerful?"

Princess Wuxi, hearing the two maids under Peach Blossom's seat offer their praise, immediately beamed with pride.

However, the female official beside the princess had dense black lines appearing on her cheeks.

Su Yan's move was undeniably brilliant; even a woman like her couldn't look away. However, was it really a good thing for the princess to have such a lewd yet shrewd little nine-tailed fox by her side?

........................

"Senior, please give me your guidance."

Su Yan raised his hand and tapped the sacrificial knife on the ground, looking at Tao Hong, who was still staring at him with great interest.

"The specialties of the Xia Dynasty are really good."

Elder Tao Hong chuckled inwardly, raised her hand and cast a Spirit-Responding Seal. Inside her hair ornament, a black iron-colored bell rang, and a crimson furnace was spat out from the bell, crashing heavily onto the arena set up by the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion.

The crimson furnace fire illuminated the night sky, and orange-red flames soared into the heavens. Several ferocious lava dragons, baring their fangs and claws, crawled out of the furnace and coiled in front of Elder Peach Blossom, roaring scorchingly at Su Yan.

"Let's play with this little fellow cultivator for a while!"

With a smile on her face, Tao Hong raised her hand and pointed. The molten dragons that had been coiled around her suddenly leaped up, locked onto Su Yan, and opened their scorching, ferocious mouths. The eight molten dragons transformed into eight streams of orange-red light and pounced on Su Yan.

"boom--"

Su Yan turned his arm, and began to step forward in the direction of Elder Tao Hong in front of the sacrificial knife blade. He did not show any surprise when facing the evil dragon that pounced on him. When the molten dragon bit Su Yan, it seemed to touch something spherical. With just one contact, its whole body exploded into a ball of smoke and disappeared.

"The posture of the jungle."

The sacrificial knife twisted, and Su Yan tapped it on the ground with a gentle flick. The shimmering light that had been gathered on the tip of the knife transformed into a wave, within which a large number of leafless, withered trees and densely layered, sharp resin evolved, like an inescapable wall of nails that suddenly slammed down and crushed the remaining seven molten dragons.

"The forest and wilderness present a myriad of ever-changing scenes."

Su Yan lowered the sacrificial knife and stirred up another rolling wave on the black barrier. Small beasts rode the wind and waves, absorbing the moisture between heaven and earth, and gradually transformed into ferocious beasts several meters tall. Under Su Yan's command, they pounced on Elder Tao Hong.

"Ding--"

Su Yan strolled slowly outside the war zone, using his sacrificial knife to create ripples on the ground as a probe.

"The innate power of the dragon race?"

Seeing that the little beast was still drawing water vapor from heaven and earth to grow after being separated from the group, and using the water vapor to make up for its missing body, Elder Tao Hong immediately recognized that Su Yan was not using an ordinary water-based technique, but a unique water-gathering technique belonging to the dragon race.

He used his spiritual power to manipulate the water vapor of heaven and earth, amplifying the power of his water-based techniques.

"But that's all." Elder Tao Hong raised her hand and waved it gently. The furnace behind her roared like a steam engine, and terrifying heat surged out, forcibly dispelling the surrounding moisture and leaving only the fire energy that was extremely detrimental to Su Yan's compatibility.

"That woman is truly insidious."

Seeing Tao Hong's actions, Princess Wuxi's face showed a hint of disdain: "Is this what you call suppressing your cultivation level?"

Only Nascent Soul cultivators can manipulate the surrounding spiritual energy. However, Nascent Soul cultivators can only manipulate it, not perform such precise dispersal operations. Currently, there is no water-based spiritual energy in the sky above the Treasure Appraisal Pavilion. This old woman's dispersal operation could not be performed without the power of an Earth Immortal.

"Then your fox is a Golden Core cultivator?" Upon hearing this, Tao Hong's disciple immediately jumped out and accused Princess Wuxi's friend of cheating first.

Su Yan's tactics were too old-fashioned. Not only could these two disciples of the Weapon Sect not understand them, but even Tao Hong herself could not see through how Su Yan forcibly nullified her molten dragon at the beginning of the trial.

The fire dragon that exploded into smoke wasn't damaged by any attack; it simply burst apart.

Tao Hong said she would lower her cultivation level, and she really did. She didn't use any supernatural powers or divine sense to scan Su Yan. The magic power she was using was only at the Nascent Soul to Deity Transformation stage.

"Zizzi-"

The roaring, churning furnace radiated intense heat, forcefully evaporating the spell Su Yan had cast. Large amounts of high-temperature water vapor dispersed into the void, quickly vanishing without a trace under the furnace's influence.

"Chong-"

Hidden in the mist, Su Yan gripped the hilt of the sacrificial knife with both hands and slashed upwards, dark red magic power swirling around the blade as he aimed straight for Elder Tao Hong's head.

However, Elder Peach Blossom, who was floating in mid-air, paid no attention to Su Yan's sudden attack. Since there was no water vapor in the world that was driven by the dragon's innate divine power, Su Yan's water-based technique was no different from other water-based cultivators.

The ironclad rule for water-based cultivators is that they cannot unleash a wide-range water-based technique to overwhelm their enemies before reaching the Nascent Soul stage.

Therefore, Elder Tao Hong could predict that Su Yan, unable to use the Water Element technique, would inevitably resort to dangerous close combat to fight her head-on.

The blade slashed down with a resounding clang, but Elder Tao Hong did not move an inch. Behind her, the furnace spewed out a large amount of scorching orange-red molten iron, forming a semi-enclosed, scorching iron wall that blocked Su Yan's sword.

But what happened next caused a look of surprise to appear on her previously calm, rosy cheeks.

The moment Su Yan's longsword made contact with the iron wall, a steel lock suddenly spewed out from the furnace behind Elder Tao Hong, binding Elder Tao Hong's waist, who was completely defenseless and hadn't even activated her divine sense, and pulling her into the furnace.

A dark red blade of light, a hundred meters long, cleaved through the firelight in the night sky.

Chapter 459 Nine-Tailed Yazi: Zi

-

"Zizzi-"

The blade, wreathed in dark red light, collided with the molten iron barrier spewing from the furnace. The furnace spirit sensed something was wrong and suddenly spewed out a steel cable, carrying the defenseless Elder Peach Blossom into the furnace.

The instant the furnace dragged Elder Peach Blossom away, the sacrificial knife sliced ​​through the nearly one-meter-long iron wall as easily as cutting tofu, amidst a clang of metal on metal. The dark red blade light and blood shadows swept past the spot where Elder Peach Blossom had been standing, forming a slashing wave nearly a hundred meters long.

A dark red light curtain pierced through the orange-red sky, cutting a gash in the fiery aura that lingered above.

Su Yan gripped the hilt of the sword with his left hand, while his right hand, which was fused with the sacrificial sword, held the end of the hilt. After his sword flash missed, Su Yan's body remained unchanged. He gripped the hilt tightly with both arms, lowered his body, and lunged forward. A blood-red shadow formed a swallowing sword aura, which pierced straight towards the crimson furnace behind the iron wall, which contained Elder Peach Blossom.

Sensing the impending danger, the furnace ceased its rock-solid stance. A torrent of scorching heat, like a giant wave, erupted from its mouth, briefly intercepting Su Yan's pursuing longsword. Then, it sprouted legs and moved a hundred meters away from its original position.

Su Yan's magic cannot be considered a threat, but the threat and pressure of the sacrificial knife are tangible.

As the Heart Blade forged from the fusion of the three external incarnations of the Holy Mother Xuan Tong, Su Yan cannot fully unleash the endless sword light and shadow to kill enemies. However, with the sharpness of the sacrificial knife, as long as it can touch an Earth Immortal, the sacrificial knife in his hand can injure the Earth Immortal's Dharma form.

The sacrificial knife in the hands of the Holy Mother Xuan Tong could scrape the scales of the Red Earth Mountain God with such silky smoothness, and in Su Yan's hands, the sacrificial knife could still replicate that famous scene, capable of slicing off the flesh and blood of an Earth Immortal with a single touch.

Therefore, Elder Peach Blossom's furnace, which had forged countless weapons and hairpins, sensed the danger of the sacrificial knife the moment it came into contact with it. It immediately dragged away its confident yet dim-witted master, otherwise Su Yan would have almost beheaded Elder Peach Blossom just now.

Although it was just a minor injury, the furnace still intervened and dragged Elder Peach away to prevent her from losing face later.

"call--"

Elder Peach Blossom, who had fallen into the furnace, swam out of the molten iron as if nothing had happened. She placed her hands on the edge of the furnace pool, a look of amazement on her face, and looked at Su Yan, saying:

"Your knife is a bit too much! It's already grown tentacles and pierced your body. Aren't you worried that this demonic blade will turn against you?"

The sacrificial knife originated from the sword cultivation school, which was a branch of the school that emerged when the human race had just appeared and before a unified school was formed. Therefore, Elder Tao Hong did not recognize the origin of the sacrificial knife in Su Yan's hand.

However, in the current worldview of cultivation, weapons that possess flesh and blood and are far more powerful than their masters are generally called demonic weapons.

There are numerous stories of demonic artifacts devouring their masters, enslaving them as artifact slaves or even their surnames.

Therefore, when Elder Tao Hong emerged from the furnace, she didn't pay attention to the sword light that Su Yan swung, but instead looked at Su Yan with great interest and asked him a question.

What could be so worth fighting for, even resorting to magical artifacts, to pass one's own trials?

Whether the blade is upright or not is not important, as long as I, as the user, am upright.

Su Yan slowly spoke, looking at Elder Tao Hong who was still standing in the furnace pool. Then, in front of Elder Tao Hong, he changed the shape of the white phosphorus sacrificial knife into a short knife.
