The old Immortal Emperor spoke up, "I have a feeling that if this little fellow breaks through to the Immortal Emperor, even if it's just the Early-stage Immortal Emperor, we probably wouldn't be his match."
The middle-aged man said, "Nonsense, it's a divine beast, one of only two remaining Nine-Tailed Heavenly Fox in the world. How could we ordinary Immortal Emperor possibly be its match?"
Qingluan said, "I have personally witnessed the king of the Qingqiu Fox Clan in action; his strength is truly terrifying!"
The old woman asked curiously, "Is he stronger than the city lord?"
Qingluan nodded solemnly, "Yes!"
Upon hearing this, the Human Race Immortal Emperor were all shocked.
Even stronger than Xiao Jing?
How terrifying would that be?
Qingluan stared at Hu Xiaotian, "That's why I don't even dare to imagine how terrifying his strength would be if this little guy broke through to the Immortal Emperor?"
Several Human Race Immortal Emperor looked at Hu Xiaotian without saying anything more, but their eyes revealed a hint of curiosity. They wondered if Hu Xiaotian's strength would really be as terrifying as Qingluan had described if he grew up.
Really?
Anyway, they were quite curious.
Hu Xiaotian's body was trembling violently, every muscle seemed to be breaking free from some kind of restraint. Under the impact of the enormous power contained in the dragon flesh, it had fallen into a state of complete loss of control.
It exuded a terrifying power that sent chills down one's spine. Its nine tails, like those of a crazed python, lashed out erratically in the air. Wherever the tails passed, space and time seemed to be easily ripped open with black cracks.
His eyes were like two burning, blood-red flames, flickering wildly. Gone was the liveliness and wisdom of the past; only endless madness and violence remained.
Su Chen stood quietly in place, his gaze calm and profound as he watched the out-of-control Hu Xiaotian. Amidst this storm of chaos and destruction, he was like an unyielding mountain, unmoved by the violent forces.
Suddenly, he vanished from his spot and reappeared in front of Hu Xiaotian.
As if sensing something, Hu Xiaotian suddenly looked over, his blood-red eyes fixed on Su Chen, filled with endless killing intent, ferocity, and madness. He opened his abyss-like maw and, with all his might, lunged at Su Chen.
Faced with this scene, Su Chen remained calm, showing no sign of panic, only tranquility and indifference. He slowly raised his right hand, his index finger gently extending, and a soft, pure light began to shimmer at the fingertip. The light was not dazzling, but it possessed a power that could penetrate darkness and chaos.
Pfft!
A streak of light shot out instantly, merging precisely into Hu Xiaotian's brow! In that instant, Hu Xiaotian's massive body suddenly froze in place, as if frozen in place, completely still.
Su Chen stood with his hands behind his back, calmly watching this scene.
Hu Xiaotian's originally violent consciousness gradually calmed down the moment the light entered his brow, like the surface of a lake being rippled by a spring breeze.
Hu Xiaotian's blood-red eyes began to clear slightly, his nine tails gradually calmed down, the violent power within his body was being suppressed little by little, and the terrifying aura emanating from his body was gradually dissipating.
As time went by, Hu Xiaotian's vision became clearer and clearer, and he finally regained full consciousness.
Once he regained consciousness, his eyes were filled with confusion and dazedness. He instinctively asked, "What... what just happened?"
Su Chen calmly replied, "It's nothing, it's just that you tried to kill me just now."
Upon hearing this, Hu Xiaotian was completely dumbfounded. "What? I want to kill my master?"
He was immediately on the verge of tears, "Master, I'm innocent! Even if I had a million lives, I wouldn't dare lay a hand on you, let alone try to kill you!"
Su Chen calmly said, "Everyone in the arena saw it. You can ask anyone if you don't believe me."
"I..."
Hu Xiaotian felt an urge to cry, "No! I didn't!"
"Brother, stop teasing Xiaotian."
Ye Lingxi and Yan Qingwu slowly approached Su Chen's side.
Su Chen glanced at Ye Lingxi and said helplessly, "When did I bully him? He just asked me what happened, and I just told him the truth. Who knew he was such a coward?"
Ye Lingxi shook her head and smiled, then looked at Hu Xiaotian, "What I just said was indeed the truth, but don't be afraid, Xiaotian, I'm not angry and won't do anything to you."
Hu Xiaotian looked at Su Chen cautiously, "Really... really?"
Su Chen said speechlessly, "Can you please stop doing this? It makes it sound like I abused you before."
Hu Xiaotian gave an awkward laugh, "Hehe."
Ye Lingxi suddenly said, "Brother, I've decided to leave."
Su Chen was taken aback and looked at Ye Lingxi, "So fast?"
Ye Lingxi nodded. "Yes, if I stay by your side any longer, my Dao Heart will truly shatter."
Su Chen smiled slightly, "You silly girl, why are you so persistent?"
Ye Lingxi said, "It's the same reason. I don't want to keep hiding behind my brother. I want to stand in front of him and protect him."
Su Chen reached out and gently rubbed Ye Lingxi's head, saying softly, "Isn't it good that your brother has always protected you?"
Ye Lingxi shook her head, "I don't want to, I want to protect my brother."
Su Chen couldn't help but shake his head and smile, finally letting out a long sigh, "I respect your choice."
Ye Lingxi chuckled, then looked at Hu Xiaotian, " Xiaotian, why don't you come with me?"
Uncharacteristically, Hu Xiaotian didn't refuse and immediately nodded, "Okay."
In the past, he would have definitely refused, but ever since he witnessed Ye Lingxi and the others working so hard to catch up with Su Chen, the pressure was like a surging tide crashing down on him.
He knew he couldn't be lazy anymore; he had to work hard to cultivate as soon as possible and not fall behind Ye Lingxi and the others.
Hu Xiaotian glanced at the dragon's corpse, which he hadn't yet finished devouring, hesitated for a moment, then looked at Su Chen and said, "Master, this dragon..."
Before Hu Xiaotian could finish speaking, Su Chen pointed a finger at the corpse of the Five-Clawed Golden Dragon. The next moment, the dragon's corpse began to dissipate, and a ball of golden light appeared in the void.
The golden light shone brilliantly, and an incredibly terrifying power could be felt within it!
With a thought, Su Chen sent the golden light flying into Hu Xiaotian's brow.
Hu Xiaotian was taken aback, then touched his brow, a look of confusion in his eyes.
Su Chen looked at him and explained, "This golden light is formed from the power within his body. In the future, if a crisis arises, this power will erupt within you to resolve the crisis for you."
Upon hearing this, Hu Xiaotian immediately became excited, "Doesn't that mean this is something that can save your life?"
