Ring, ring...
The crisp ringing echoed through the dim Underground Palace. A rustling sound came urgently from afar, and then countless eerie blood-red tentacles bored out from the walls of the Underground Palace.
"Hm, this is?"
Chen Changming's eyes lit up, and a sense of familiarity immediately rose within him.
"Shangguan Xiong, this time, you're dead for sure."
Holy Mother Wusheng gave a sinister smile.
If it was Shangguan Xiong, she was not so afraid.
More than a hundred years ago, Shangguan Xiong had only just broken through to the Golden Core Realm. His cultivation progress had not been much better than hers. Even if he had broken through to the Nascent Soul Realm first, he could be no more than the first level of the Nascent Soul Realm.
There was no way he could have surpassed the third level of the Nascent Soul Realm!
And the Blood Demon Tree she had summoned was an eighth-level mid-stage Beast, its cultivation comparable to that of a human cultivator at the third level of the Nascent Soul Realm!
"Holy Mother Wusheng, so you have an eighth-level mid-stage Beast..."
Chen Changming glanced at the blood-red tentacles wriggling toward him like venomous snakes, smiled calmly, and raised his hand to fire a streak of black light.
The black light transformed into a "black monstrous python," which opened its mouth and sprayed out a great sheet of black water.
The black water fell upon the blood-red tentacles with a sizzling sound, and a cloud of green smoke immediately rose.
"What? You also have an eighth-level mid-stage Beast?"
Once Holy Mother Wusheng recognized the Rotten-Leaf Black Earthworm, she froze for a moment.
She frantically shook the bell.
Crack!
The walls of the Underground Palace split apart, and a huge blood-red tree, demonic in appearance, burst inside.
