Chapter 105 - 105 105 Playing Dumb to Catch the Tiger

105: Chapter 105: Playing Dumb to Catch the Tiger 105: Chapter 105: Playing Dumb to Catch the Tiger “Really?”

Swallowing hard, Long Yan seemed completely entranced by the Blood Woman’s allure.

“Of course, I reciprocate as promised!”

The seductive voice of the Blood Woman slowly wafted out.

If the Blood Saber truly was a Heavenly Spiritual Device, her strength would undoubtedly increase exponentially, significantly improving her position in the Martial Palace.

“Okay!”

Long Yan nodded like a pecking chick, then grabbed the Dragon Tooth.

The blade glowed with enchanting blood light, and the powerful aura radiated from it.

“At least an Earth-level Spirit Item!”

The moment the Dragon Tooth was revealed, the Blood Woman’s gaze was instantly captured, a glint of greed stirring in her eyes.

She had never seen a Heavenly Spiritual Device, but she had seen an Earth-level Spirit Item.

The aura released by the Dragon Tooth was even stronger than that of an earth-level item, so it must be at least Earth-level.

In the Shenwu Continent, Earth-level Spirit Items were already treasures; a Heavenly Spiritual Device held even more esteem.

If a Heavenly Spiritual Device made an appearance, all five major forces would dispatch their strongest to seize it.

Boldly speaking, a single Heavenly Spiritual Device could trigger an earthquake in the Shenwu Continent.

Her eyes staring straight at the Dragon Tooth, her face flushed with anticipation, even her breathing became rapid, the pair of magnificent peaks on her chest heaving with her breath.

“Give it to me!”

The Blood Woman’s voice was no longer seductive; instead, it was demanding.

“Yes, yes, yes.”

Pretending to be still dazed, Long Yan held the Dragon Tooth and gradually approached the Blood Woman.

At this moment, a slightly worrisome smirk danced at the corner of his mouth, with his right hand slowly reaching behind his back.

His index finger drooping, and blacks streams of energy swirled around it.

The Blood Woman, completely absorbed in the Dragon Tooth, did not notice Long Yan’s suspicious gesture.

They were only three or four meters apart, a span of three or four steps.

Soon, Long Yan stood before her, less than a meter away.

The smile on the Blood Woman’s face grew bigger as she reached out to grab the Dragon Tooth.

“Now!”

Just then, Long Yan, as quick as lightning, released the power of the Poison God Finger.

“Damn it!”

The Blood Woman, being at the Heavenly Martial Realm, reacted swiftly.

The Poison God Finger posed a threat to her.

However, they were so close, and Long Yan’s premeditated attack was not something she could easily avoid.

“Ngh.”

In the blink of an eye, the Poison God Finger pierced the left shoulder of the Blood Woman.

Her flesh was punctured, and the poisonous light instantly infiltrated her body.

“Take my slash!”

At the same time, the Dragon Tooth hacked down from the sky, its wicked blade glow swallowed by a demon.

“Seeking death!”

The Blood Woman coldly shouted, surges of spiritual power condensing into mystical seals.

Forming a palm with her fist, she struck towards the Dragon Tooth.

“Boom!”

The Dragon Tooth struck the Blood Woman’s palm, producing a sound like clashing metals and creating a powerful force that pushed Long Yan back, stirring his blood and energy.

“Urgh.”

At this point, the colour from the Blood Woman’s face drained.

She spat out a mouthful of black blood, her face turning pallid as she stared incredulously at Long Yan, “You deceived me?”

Long Yan was not affected by her enchantment at all.

Long Yan chuckled coldly, saying, “A simple seduction like that would hardly cloud my judgement.

I’ve been lying to you all along.

Even in the Heavenly Martial Realm, once you’re poisoned by my Poison God Finger, your body will decay until death.

If you tell me who sent you, I can grant you a swift death.”

“Such a devious little foe!”

The Blood Woman giggled, “Even if I die, why would I tell you?”

Even if Long Yan didn’t kill her, if she failed her mission, Zuo Qiuyu would not spare her either.

“Then you’re worthless!”

Long Yan’s gaze turned cold, he swiped with Dragon Tooth, and Blood Woman’s vitality began to fade with the flash of the blade.

Earth Slaughter Truefire surged from Long Yan’s palm, and before long, Blood Woman had turned into ashes.

A storage ring appeared in Long Yan’s hand.

“I knew it even if you didn’t say it, it was Luo Shenghe who sent you, wasn’t it?”

Long Yan muttered under his breath.

Bai Tianjun was Luo Shenghe’s last disciple, killing Bai Tianjun meant that Luo Shenghe would naturally not let him off.

As an elite disciple of the Martial Palace, Blood Woman had no connection with Xiang Ying and wouldn’t seek revenge for him.

There was only one possibility then, Blood Woman was sent by Luo Shenghe.

While Long Yan’s guess was not entirely accurate, he was not wrong – Luo Shenghe was indeed involved in this matter.

“35,000 merit points, not a small amount, all for me now!”

Long Yan opened Blood Woman’s storage ring, and besides a few elixirs and spirit stones, the most valuable items were two Yellow Rank Spirit Tools and an identity token which contained 35,000 merit points.

In the Pill King Hall, merit points were a form of currency that could be exchanged for cultivation resources.

The value of a merit point was roughly equivalent to a thousand lower-grade spirit stones.

Aside from that, there were also some clothes and a few adult items, all of which Long Yan burned away with a burst of fire.

“Continue cultivation!”

Then, Long Yan began to cultivate again.

The next morning, as the golden sun rose in the east, its golden light crossed billions of miles of space, pouring onto the Shenwu Continent, marking the start of a new day.

“It’s time to find out what’s happening with the Sky Fury Divine Flame.”

Inside the room, Long Yan woke up from his cultivation and lazily stretched.

After a night of cultivating, his strength had increased slightly.

However, without the Sky Fury Divine Flame, breaking through was utterly impossible.

After changing into a new purple robe, Long Yan left his room.

“Brother Yan, I’ve prepared breakfast for you.

Come and eat quickly.”

As soon as he left his room, Lingxi’s voice rang in his ears.

Today, Lingxi was wearing a snow-white dress, with a yellow silk sash accentuating her waist.

Her figure was perfect.

Her black hair cascaded like a waterfall over her shoulders.

She looked immaculate, like a beautiful white swan.

“So beautiful!”

Long Yan was momentarily taken aback, only snapping back to reality when Lingxi spoke again.

Lingxi had made a Hundred Flowers Soup by collecting petals from a hundred different spiritual flowers and simmering it with the dew from the early morning.

Its fragrance wafted all around.

“It smells divine!”

Long Yan took a sniff and immediately felt refreshed, his appetite whetted.

Generally, cultivators at the Spirit Martial Realm can avoid eating for short periods.

After breaking through to the Earth Martial Realm, they can wholly sustain themselves on energy.

However, when faced with delicious food, of course, one would take the time to enjoy it.

“This is a recipe Granny taught me.

The Hundred Flowers Soup that she makes is very delicious!”

With Long Yan’s compliment, Lingxi’s face turned a shade of crimson.

She looked thrilled.

“The Hundred Flowers Soup that Xiaoyi makes is even better.”

Long Yan chuckled.

“Really?”

With her bright eyes glinting in happiness, Lingxi brought over a bowl of Hundred Flowers Soup she had prepared for Long Yan.

“What a delight!”

Long Yan took a small sip.

The soup melted in his mouth, sending a wave of floral aroma and spirit energy rushing towards his brain.

He felt as though all the pores on his body were opening up at that moment.

Less than a stick of incense’s worth of time later, the Hundred Flowers Soup was finished.

Lingxi had only eaten a bit, while the rest had all gone into Long Yan’s stomach.

“Xiaoyi, let’s go outside and take a stroll.”

Afterward, Long Yan left Zhizhen Courtyard with Lingxi.

As for Fat Cat, it had been sleeping as soundly as a dead dog these days, and Long Yan estimated that when it woke up, its strength would have increased substantially.
