Chapter 6

"The Path of Devouring!"

Jiang Xuan's eyes lit up. He remembered that in the *Nine Stars Divine Dragon Technique*, it was recorded that to forge a supreme dominant body and transform into a true dragon, besides cultivating the *Nine Stars Divine Dragon Technique*, one could also devour all things in the world to refine one's own bloodline.

And the Flame Lion King before him was undoubtedly the best material.

Taking a deep breath of the cold air, Jiang Xuan's palm suddenly struck the Flame Lion King's body, and the *Nine Stars Divine Dragon Technique* quickly began to运转, devouring the Flame Lion King's bloodline.

In no time, the massive beast's body began to wither, and his own aura steadily rose.

"I didn't expect it to be real! My strength has increased again!"

Jiang Xuan's face was filled with joy as he discovered that his strength had improved once more.

"If I can encounter a spirit beast with true dragon bloodline in the future, my strength will surely make a significant leap."

"Master!"

At this moment, Yun Xi arrived, her rosy lips slightly parted as she looked at the Flame Lion King lying on the ground.

The people behind her, such as Qin Hong, wore looks of disdain, clearly believing that Jiang Xuan had only subdued the spirit beast using beast powder.

After a long while, Yun Xi finally regained her composure and smiled at Jiang Xuan.

"Thank you for your help just now. Hello, my name is Yun Xi."

"Jiang Xuan!"

Jiang Xuan replied.

"Master Jiang, there are many spirit beasts in this jungle, and it's dangerous for you to be alone. If it's convenient, we can travel together, and we can look out for each other on the way."

Yun Xi smiled sweetly, seemingly impressed by Jiang Xuan's strength.

"Ha! Yun Xi! You're overestimating him. This boy only managed to kill the spirit beast using beast powder. However, this method won't always work, and he might become a burden to us!"

Before Jiang Xuan could speak, Qin Hong sneered.

Jiang Xuan glanced at Qin Hong, sensing the hostility in his tone. His face turned slightly cold, as he had never offended him. However, he didn't care; if Qin Hong dared to do anything, he could easily kill him.

He smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, Miss Yun, but I'm used to going alone, so I won't travel with you all!"

With that, he left, leaving Yun Xi somewhat disappointed.

"Brother Qin, this boy seems to have taken all the valuable things from the Flame Lion King's body!"

One of the accompanying youths looked at the withered Flame Lion King, his face turning grim.

"Don't worry! He won't get away!"

Qin Hong sneered, a murderous intent flashing in his eyes.

After parting ways with Yun Xi and the others, Jiang Xuan headed towards the edge of the forest.

Looking at the spirit beast crystals and talismans in his Bag of Holding, Jiang Xuan smiled. "My sister's Cold-Resistant Pill is finally within reach. With the Flame Lion King's spirit beast crystal and these talismans, I should be able to exchange for a lot of silver coins."

Thinking about this, he felt incredibly pleased. Perhaps after today, he, Jiang Xuan, would be considered a wealthy man! "Waste, stop right there!"

However, just as Jiang Xuan was feeling elated, a cold voice suddenly rang out.

Jiang Xuan looked up and saw several figures standing opposite him, including Qin Hong and the accompanying youths he had just met.

"Is there something you want?"

Jiang Xuan's face turned cold. He had never offended them and had even saved their lives, yet they seemed hostile towards him.

"Boy, I advise you to hand over the items willingly. We might let you off, otherwise..."

The accompanying youths spoke arrogantly, their tone laced with a threat.

"Come and take them if you can!"

Jiang Xuan shook his head and continued walking, not even sparing them a glance.

Jiang Xuan's attitude made Qin Hong's face turn red with embarrassment.

"Hmph! You refuse the wine and ask for the punishment! Boy, die!"

As he spoke, Qin Hong took a step forward, striding towards Jiang Xuan. The long sword in his hand gleamed, emitting a cold light.

Daring to compete with him, Qin Hong, for a woman was simply asking for death! "This is on you!"

Jiang Xuan said coldly.

In the next moment, Jiang Xuan moved. His foot stomped the ground, and his body shot forward like a cannonball.

Then, a dragon-shaped energy beam shot out from his hand like a rainbow.

"Qi breaks the body! How is this possible?"

Qin Hong, who had been approaching with a cold smile, turned pale when he saw the somewhat illusory dragon-shaped energy beam from Jiang Xuan's hand.

Even the accompanying youths turned desperate when they saw the dragon-shaped energy beam.

It was well-known that in the Pulse Opening Realm, the main focus was on refining the martial artist's physical body. Only through constant refinement and strengthening of the body could one produce a true essence seed in the body when breaking through to the second realm, the True Essence Realm. This seed would store qi, allowing it to break the body and control qi to kill.

Thus, they were terrified when they saw the dragon-shaped shadow from Jiang Xuan's hand.

"Die!"

As the shout fell, the youths saw the once arrogant Qin Hong being completely overpowered by a single punch. The moment of impact shattered his sharp sword into pieces.

Qin Hong was blasted away by Jiang Xuan's punch, his internal organs shattered.

After absorbing the Flame Lion King's bloodline, Jiang Xuan found that although his realm had not significantly improved, he had unexpectedly discovered that he had already formed a true essence seed in his body, even though he had not yet broken through to the True Essence Realm. This gave him an additional trump card in future battles.

Looking at the Qin Hong who had been killed by a single punch, the youths were in a daze.

Monster! This guy is a monster! "Thump thump!"

Seeing Jiang Xuan approaching them step by step, they trembled all over.

"Master Jiang, spare our lives!"

"Master Jiang, we were all deceived by Qin Hong..."

"We are all Qin family members, if you kill us..."

"Thud thud!"

However, before they could finish speaking, Jiang Xuan's sword swung, and their voices abruptly stopped. They clutched their bleeding necks, unable to speak another word.

"I don't care who you are. If you want to kill me, you should be prepared to be killed!"

Jiang Xuan's gaze was cold. Such ungrateful people should be dealt with like this.

He then searched their bodies and found some silver coins.

After that, he turned and left. He wasn't worried about being discovered, as in this jungle filled with beasts, the death of a few people was nothing out of the ordinary, and no one would trace it back to him.
