Cheng Qingsu cried out in surprise, vigorously rubbed her eyes, and looked on in disbelief at the scene before her.
The scene before her was beyond her comprehension.
An enormous amount of nature’s spiritual energy, tangible as if real, was madly fusing into Zhang Xiaohao’s body.
What was even stranger was that Zhang Xiaohao seemed like a bottomless pit that could never be filled.
"Oh my god! Where on earth did my older sister find this monster? It’s so exaggerated! Does he have to be so awesome? This is too intense!" Cheng Qingsu muttered to herself.
Even standing beside him, Cheng Qingsu benefited endlessly.
In just this short while, being washed over by the massive amount of nature’s spiritual energy, she improved as much as she would have from a night of dedicated cultivation without actually practicing.
Cheng Qingsu licked her lips with heat and thought temptingly, should I also cultivate a bit?
No sooner had this thought arisen than she couldn’t control it anymore.
She sat down cross-legged opposite Zhang Xiaohao, striking a posture with palms upturned towards the sky in meditation.
She operated the Little Faceless Skill, frantically absorbing the massive amount of nature’s spiritual energy in front of Zhang Xiaohao.
Although she competed fiercely, the tier of her Cultivation Technique was simply too low.
Compared to Zhang Xiaohao, who was an endless treasure trove, what she absorbed wasn’t even a ten-thousandth part.
Thus, both became wholly engrossed in cultivation.
As time passed, the surrounding crimson aura seemed to be drawn by some force, turning into Zhang Xiaohao’s body.
In the beginning, it was weak, but as Zhang Xiaohao continually devoured it, the crimson mysterious power was transferred faster and faster, and by the end, its speed was on par with that of the nature’s spiritual energy.
Hum! The source of thɪs content is 𝓷𝓸𝓿𝓮𝓵•𝓯𝓲𝓻𝓮•𝓷𝓮𝓽
Not knowing how long had passed, something trembled within Zhang Xiaohao’s body.
A crimson line solidified behind him, following the emergence of the first line, as if pulled by some force, countless more lines continuously surged out from his back...
The lines crisscrossed each other.
Gradually, Zhang Xiaohao’s War God physique was activated, and a blood-red Battle Axe coalesced behind him.
At the moment the blood-red Battle Axe appeared, the crimson mysterious power in the forbidden area’s space, as if drawn by something, surged towards Zhang Xiaohao crazily.
Deep within the forbidden area’s space.
A gigantic crimson cocoon, and above it, a blood-red sun hung, thick energy poured out madly from it, incessantly pouring into the cocoon below.
Suddenly, at this moment.
The person inside the cocoon moved, opening two cold eyes.
"Damn it! Who exactly is stealing my inheritance? You’d better hope I don’t find out, or I will tear you to pieces!"
Time passed unknowing.
Zhang Xiaohao, who had been closing his eyes all along, suddenly opened them.
As he opened his eyes, the blood-red Battle Axe behind him swept into his body with a swoosh and vanished.
Stretching instinctively, he reached out his hand. Hm? What’s this? Why’s it so soft? And warm? It feels quite substantial!
Zhang Xiaohao murmured to himself.
He squeezed hard, kneading it a couple of times.
"Ah!" Cheng Qingsu exclaimed, awakened from her cultivation by Zhang Xiaohao.
She looked down to see a salty pig’s hand grasping her proud jade rabbits; her pretty face turned cold, and a boundless killing intent erupted from within her.
"Damn it! What are you doing? Who told you to attack my chest while I was practicing?" Cheng Qingsu roared.
Zhang Xiaohao was also dumbfounded.
"Weren’t you supposed to be my protector? Why are you sitting on the ground and practicing?" Zhang Xiaohao said.
"Uh!" Cheng Qingsu was taken aback, at a loss for words subconsciously.
Seeing that Zhang Xiaohao still firmly grasped one of her jade rabbits, she felt extremely angry inside!
She coldly shouted, "Asshole! Aren’t you going to let go? How long do you plan to hold on?"
"Hehe, sorry! I didn’t mean to. Compared to your sister’s, yours is still a bit small," Zhang Xiaohao said with an awkward smile.
"You can go to hell!" Cheng Qingsu flew up with a kick at Zhang Xiaohao.
Zhang Xiaohao shifted his body to the side and easily dodged.
Standing up from the ground, Zhang Xiaohao said, "Alright, Qingsu, stop messing around."
"Hmph!" Cheng Qingsu let out an annoyed cold snort and stood up from the ground.
"How’s your recovery going?"
Zhang Xiaohao smiled and with a grab of his hand, pulled out the four silver needles stuck in his body.
Laughing, he said, "I’ve recovered mostly."
As for the aftereffects of forcefully using the Heaven-Defying Twelve Needles, this was not something that could be recovered through meditation practice; it could only be gradually recuperated. With his level of medical expertise, one week would be sufficient to deal with the residual aftereffects in his body.
Moreover, after the previous battle,
Zhang Xiaohao’s cultivation realm had completely stabilized. He was now truly a super-strong expert at the Early Control Realm.
Not fluctuating like before, with his True Qi going up and down, one moment at the Peak of Hundred Veins Realm, the next at the Early Control Realm.
This was an unexpected joy.
"That’s good! If anything had happened to you, how would I explain it to my sister when I get back? If she ended up a widow because of this, with my sister’s heavenly beauty, wouldn’t it be ruining her life?" Cheng Qingsu spoke recklessly.
"Cough! Cough!" Zhang Xiaohao coughed violently.
He rolled his eyes in irritation and couldn’t help but admire the boldness of his sister-in-law, who could actually spout such explosive words.
"Brother-in-law, what do you think this place is? The deep red around us, gloomy and bloodthirsty, could it be Hell?" Cheng Qingsu said.
Zhang Xiaohao knocked on her head irritably and said, "If this were Hell, would we still be alive?"
"That’s true," Cheng Qingsu nodded.
Zhang Xiaohao carefully examined the blood-red space around them.
This space must be related to the Token that John Bao crushed before his death. Given his personality, he surely wanted to set a trap for himself before dying. With this in mind, this place was definitely no good land.
Moreover, the blood-red energy around them kept coming from ahead, becoming more and more refined the deeper they went.
At the same time, a massive aura was rapidly growing.
For some reason, looking at the blood-red energy around him,
Zhang Xiaohao’s heart filled with desire, wishing he could swallow all the blood-red energy in one gulp.
"Let’s go! Let’s go and check it out," Zhang Xiaohao said earnestly.
"Hmm," Cheng Qingsu nodded her head and followed by Zhang Xiaohao’s side towards what lay ahead.
As the two delved deeper, the blood-red energy around them became more and more vigorous. The ground bore the remnants of past battles, and pieces of humanoid Puppets, mutilated and dismembered, lay scattered on the ground, as if a fierce fight had recently taken place here.
"Be careful later, watch out for your safety," Zhang Xiaohao said with a serious look.
"Hmm," Cheng Qingsu nodded.
