The Entire Sect is Full of Villains, Yet the Junior Sister Conquers All

Chapter 178 : Upgrading the Strange Fire

The air was becoming increasingly arid and volatile. It felt as if the spiritual energy in one's body was evaporating, and even spiritual replenishing pills couldn't compensate for the outflowing spiritual energy.

Chu Sang casually drew several dozen isolation talismans, distributing one to each disciple to apply to their bodies. Instantly, it blocked out the excessively hot weather, leaving them feeling refreshed. The effect was remarkably good!

When giving one to Liu Yuanqing, she deliberately paused her movement, causing the young man's heart to flutter. He thought she was planning to trick him out of his spirit stones again. Covering his chest with both hands, he hurriedly said, "I have no money left, really no money left, not even a single spirit stone—"

"Slap!"

The talisman was stuck on his forehead, right between his eyebrows.

"Be quiet, you're so noisy."

"......"

It was deliberate, absolutely deliberate to amuse herself at his expense!

Along the way, they encountered numerous groups of demon beasts, all frantically rushing from east to west, as if greatly stimulated, behaving madly.

Generally, in such situations, it meant an extremely powerful demon beast had appeared in the east, with strength at least at the Divine Transformation stage, possibly reaching an even more terrifying realm.

They had just slain another wave of demon beasts and hadn't had time to catch their breath when a massive snake beast ran out of the forest. Its entire body was bright red, with heads at both ends, the opposite of the water snake.

It could also spit out raging poisonous fire from its mouth.

It was a high-level fire-attribute demon beast!

Chu Sang became interested. This type of high-level demon beast that could spew fire was highly likely to possess its own fire seed. As she had a fire spirit root and possessed the Dragon Breath Strange Fire, a fire seed nurtured by a high-level demon beast's bloodline and demonic power would be entirely beneficial to her cultivation without any drawbacks. She could also combine multiple flames, making her strange fire even more powerful.

The strange fire in her possession initially was just an ordinary small strange fire born naturally. Later, it merged with Third Senior Brother's Dragon Breath Strange Fire, inheriting a trace of dragon's divine aura, elevating it to the ranks of top-tier strange fires.

Subsequently, it absorbed Qin Xixue's highly-ranked great strange fire, advancing its power to another level, almost reaching the pinnacle.

Its attacking power was extremely strong.

It was particularly effective in suppressing ghosts, demons, and evil entities.

However, it was slightly lacking against high-level cultivators.

Chu Sang acknowledged that she had quite a few enemies, spanning the human, demon, magic, and ghost realms. She needed to be fully prepared—if she could merge this fire snake's poison fire, it would add a trace of toxicity to her own Dragon Breath Strange Fire.

Mu Changqing noticed her eagerness and raised an eyebrow, smiling, "Do you want me to help?"

Fire's attacking power was stronger than water, making this fire snake more difficult to deal with than the water snake.

"No need, Third Senior Brother. You watch from the side for now. There will naturally be a place for you to shine later."

When Mu Changqing arrived, Chu Sang had applied a concealment talisman to him, hiding his aura. This black dragon, concealing the bloodline of the Demon Emperor, was their great trump card for this mission.

Revealing it prematurely might alert the enemy, so unless absolutely necessary, there was no need for Third Senior Brother to take action.

When they later encountered the mastermind behind all this, it would naturally be time for Third Senior Brother to act.

Chu Sang released Hong Niang. Hong Niang's spider silk was incompatible with fire and water, and with strength at the peak of Divine Transformation stage, this fire snake still couldn't hold out for long before becoming critically weakened.

An attack suddenly came from behind, seizing the opportunity to deliver the fatal blow to the fire snake before they could.

Well, well, someone was trying to steal their kill?

Chu Sang immediately looked in that direction, only to see an unexpected figure—Qin Xixue.

"I killed this demon beast, so its poison fire should belong to me!"

Qin Xixue, also possessing a fire spirit root, was equally determined to obtain this fire snake. She immediately attempted to be the first to claim the poison fire.
