Chapter 1058 Niu Jia
Chen Xingzhu stood up and said calmly.
"I'm not sure if Divine Punishment will descend, but unless it's absolutely necessary, I won't take action."
Zhong Xiang nodded in agreement.
"Little Zhu, although your Innate Decision didn't trigger Divine Punishment, we can't take this risk."
"Yang Fei is formidable, but his Martial Arts Realm is only at the Mysterious Grade Danjin, I can handle him."
"However, this person has many brothers, with Yinxue Tower's great influence and numerous experts, it's not easy to kill him alone."
A cold intent flashed in Chen Xingzhu's eyes.
"Therefore, we must be skilled at breaking momentum, and the first priority is to break Dragon Island."
This statement took even Zhong Xiang by surprise: "Dragon Island?"
Chen Xingzhu nodded.
"Yang Fei's identity has been discovered, he is the Evil Dragon Soldier King of Hidden Dragon Nine Divisions, not an underworld Great Owl."
"We aim to kill a legitimate military general with real power, which is impossible domestically, so we must lure him out of the country."
Zhong Xiang looked at Chen Xingzhu with uncertainty: "You mean to lure the tiger away from the mountain?"
Between Chen Xingzhu's gentle brows, a steely resolve appeared.
"Dragon Island is An Zichen's foundation, and also an important base controlled by Yang Fei."
"If Dragon Island encounters a threat, neither Yang Fei nor An Zichen will stand idly by; that's when we'll strike suddenly."
"Humph, I don't believe Yang Fei and An Zichen can withstand my Innate Decision."
Zhong Xiang suddenly realized, gently applauding: "Little Zhu, indeed a clever plan."
"By then, we'll destroy Dragon Island and Yang Fei, then turn back to wipe out the Lanting Group, haha, and Yinxue Tower will naturally fade away."
Chen Xingzhu nodded with a faint smile.
"However, the current Dragon Island is incomparable to the former Dragon King Hall; they already have their own Night Army."
"From what I know, the strength of this Night Army is no less than any of the world's top ten mercenary units."
"So, our immediate priority is to regain control of the Demon Army, otherwise, we can't contend with the Night Army."
Zhong Xiang, too, was an extremely intelligent talent but also conquered by Chen Xingzhu's scheming and strategies.
He clasped his fist to Chen Xingzhu in a gesture of deference.
"From now on, I, Zhong Xiang, will follow you unconditionally, willing to face any danger."
Chen Xingzhu smiled charmingly, her decisiveness in killing turned into gentle femininity.
"Axiaang, is there really a need for such words between us?"
She wrapped her arms around Zhong Xiang's neck, kissed his lips tenderly.
Zhong Xiang was transfixed.
He was also a great hero but won over by Chen Xingzhu's sometimes wise and powerful, sometimes gentle and watery charisma.
Chen Xingzhu bit her lip and said lightly.
"I heard you recently took in a small starlet named Yang Qiqi?"
Zhong Xiang was startled, his liver trembling with fear: "Little Zhu, listen to me, I just..."
Chen Xingzhu held up a slender white finger, stopping his mouth.
"No need to explain, you're a great hero; having multiple women is normal."
"I've been busy cultivating Martial Arts, having her accompany you is good too."
Her understanding moved Zhong Xiang almost to tears.
He raised one palm toward the sky, swearing.
"This lifetime, I, Zhong Xiang, love only Little Zhu, and if I break this vow, let me face Heavenly Punishment and Earthly Extinction..."
He didn't finish the sentence before Chen Xingzhu kissed his lips.
"I know my man, no need to swear."
"Tonight, let me properly accompany you."
Zhong Xiang was overjoyed, even his voice trembled.
"Really, Little Zhu? Am I dreaming?"
Since Zhong Xiang left Sky Prison, Chen Xingzhu hadn't given herself to him.
Now she initiated it, making Zhong Xiang go wild with joy.
Chen Xingzhu's room was elegantly decorated, red candles burned high, and the wall lamps were dim.
In the gauze mosquito netting, the exquisite silk quilt rippled like water.
Chen Xingzhu sighed, eyes smiling but not, gazing at something behind Zhong Xiang.
Her eyes bore no drunkenness, appearing very clear.
Behind Zhong Xiang, somehow, another figure had appeared.
He was shrouded in a black mist-like aura, and behind both shoulders, two snake-like creatures as thick as an arm, hissed out forked tongues.
Chen Xingzhu teasingly watched him, seemingly enjoying Zhong Xiang's ecstatic thrusts, also appearing to taunt the strange man.
The strange man, however, remained expressionless, like a talking statue.
Such an atmosphere was both fragrant and exceedingly eerie.
Almost at the same time, Yang Fei, in his own room, opened the bronze box he received today.
Inside the bronze box, a transparent Amber Crystal lay quietly.
In the center of the amber were strange patterns, faintly depicting a board-horned green ox.
The green ox raised its head to the sky, with a stubborn, tragic aura, as if to break through all obstacles in its path.
Yang Fei even felt, even if the heavens stood before this ox, it would crash forward without hesitation.
Even if it means breaking its horns and body, dying was not regrettable.
However, looking at this board-horned green ox, Yang Fei felt, not blood and defiance, but tragedy and compassion.
Behind the bloodlust and stubbornness when at a dead end, lay a sense of compassion and sorrow for all living beings.
Yang Fei stared dumbly at the Board-Horned Green Ox within the Amber Crystal, unknowingly shedding tears, overwhelmed by sadness.
After a long, long time, Yang Fei consumed Niu Ji, and began to circulate his Qi-Blood and Essence Qi according to the Martial Arts Heart Method from ancient texts.
Sure enough, as Yang Fei expected.
After Yang Fei's Essence Qi refined Niu Ji, his Qi-Blood and Essence Qi surged into motion, advancing very rapidly.
Just as dawn was approaching, on Yang Fei's body, the Qi of Origin Core condensed into numerous small fish scale-patterned runes, covering his entire body.
Yang Fei felt that his skin seemed to be covered by a thick layer of armor.
The nerve endings on his skin became less sensitive
The first divine ability of Niu Ji, Niu Jia, was initially mastered.
After mastering Niu Jia, Yang Fei discovered.
This first divine ability of Niu Ji, like the Turtle Shield, is a defensive divine skill.
However, while the Turtle Shield can only defend one area, Niu Jia's defense spreads across the entire body.
Niu Jia's defense was similar to the rune defense generated by the Demon Emperor's Divine Crystal.
The fish scale patterns were condensed from Yang Fei's own Qi of Origin Core, greatly enhancing the defense against Gang Qi Burst.
Elephant Prison, Niu Jia, and Brahma Fetal Giant Hand Seal, along with Scale Quake and Tiger Ghost.
These divine skills made Yang Fei capably oppose any Master of Gangjin, without falling behind.
Even if the Demon Emperor reincarnated, Yang Fei could battle and win.
Such heaven-defying divine skills, spread around would be utterly shocking.
Bear in mind, Yang Fei was merely a Core Formation Expert at this moment, yet had not even broken through Gangjin.
Yang Fei felt deeply moved, gathering his Qi-Blood, consolidating it within his Dantian.
He had a vague feeling.
With the successful cultivation of Niu Jia, his Martial Arts Realm had another breakthrough, and Danjin Earth-grade wasn't far away.
