Yao Xing’s black hole devoured madly. An incomparably powerful energy once again surged wildly into every meridian in Suo Lun’s body.
Before this, Suo Lun had also devoured huge amounts of energy, but whether it was the shadow spider queen or the female priest from the heavenly tomb, they were all spiritual energy.
The only time he had truly devoured powerful dragon power was that one time with Meng Tuo Luo. But he had only devoured for a moment before being slapped away by her.
Therefore, although Meng Tuo Luo was at the dragon warrior level while the Xue Sha in front of him was only a high rank warrior, when it came to the total amount of dragon power devoured, there was no doubt that this time was the most.
Even Suo Lun’s meridians could barely withstand this powerful dragon power. When the energy surged wildly in, he felt intense pain all over his body. Every inch of his meridians felt as if they were about to burst open.
His skin could not bear it either. It cracked open bit by bit and blood seeped out. A moment later, Suo Lun’s entire body was already covered in a layer of blood.
This crazy and painful devouring finally ended after a quarter of an hour.
All the energy had entered Yao Xing’s black hole.
Suo Lun directly collapsed onto the ground and gasped for breath.
He looked towards Xue Sha again. The skin all over her body no longer had any lustre, and the arrow wound on her shoulder that had clearly recovered completely now appeared once again. A deep hole pierced through her entire shoulder.
It was truly strange. What kind of energy allowed her to ignore deadly poison and recover from injuries as good as new in a short time?
However, after the energy in her body was devoured by Suo Lun, it seemed that this miraculous function had disappeared, and the arrow wound on her shoulder appeared once again.
Not only that, Xue Sha’s body continued to change.
Countless wounds suddenly appeared on her originally charming and alluring body, including knife wounds, sword wounds, and burn wounds. Even many muscles began to twist and knot.
At once, her originally seductive and sexy delicate body now became completely unbearable to look at.
After the energy in her body was devoured, all the injuries she had suffered before surged out.
“Master, there is indeed a very strange and evil energy inside this Xue Sha’s body.” Yao Xing suddenly said.
Suo Lun said, “This energy is very powerful. It allows her to ignore deadly poison, and even if she is injured she can recover as good as new very quickly.”
Yao Xing said, “It is very miraculous, but it is not the effect of this energy itself. Instead this energy overdraws her own life force and quickly smooths over the wounds on her body.”
As soon as these words came out, Suo Lun was immediately greatly frightened.
Yao Xing said, “So even if master did not kill her, she would not have lived for many more years. She also knew this deeply, which is why she was so crazy and so twisted.”
No wonder, after the strange energy in her body was devoured, all the wounds on her body reappeared.
This energy was truly extremely evil. Moreover, it was like certain drugs. Once one was infected, one could never get rid of it again.
Once one could recover instantly, who would still be willing to endure dozens of days of recovery from injury? But all of this came at the cost of overdrawing life.
Then Suo Lun thought of a question and quickly asked, “Then will this evil energy affect me?”
“It will not. This energy is now completely inside my black hole. I will not let even a trace enter master’s body.” Yao Xing said, “In the coming time, I will separate this energy from the dragon power. Then the dragon power will be used to raise your cultivation. As for this strange energy, I will study it carefully to see where it comes from, what its energy attributes are, and whether it can be modified.”
Hearing that this energy would not affect him, Suo Lun breathed a sigh of relief.
Yao Xing said, “Master, I vaguely feel that this energy will definitely give us a big surprise. Its evil and strangeness will definitely shine brilliantly in our hands.”
Suo Lun did not answer him, but the four words “World Destroying Demon Emperor” involuntarily surged into his mind.
He also vaguely felt that this evil energy might… might really be far more terrifying than imagined.
…
In the following time, Yao Xing continued to separate the evil energy to make the devoured dragon power pure.
As for Suo Lun, he was comfortably taking a bath in the tub.
No one entered Xue Sha’s room, and no one even passed by, so he did not need to worry that the sand bandits would discover that Xue Sha was dead.
Because every time Xue Sha tormented a man, she was extremely cruel and violent. The sand bandits outside were afraid of being affected.
So for these three days, they did not dare to pass by Xue Sha’s room.
After all, their female leader was possessed by the snake spirit and almost had an immortal body, so there was no need to worry about her being harmed.
Every time she was poisoned or injured, she would recover as good as new very quickly.
It was precisely because of this that she could become the leader of the poisonous snake sand bandits and be revered like a god.
After bathing and changing into new clothes, he felt completely refreshed.
Now the problem Suo Lun faced was how to escape, bring Xue Sha’s head back to the Silver Wolf Legion to report.
Break out by force?
Do not dream. That would be completely seeking death. There were at least a hundred people here whose martial arts exceeded Suo Lun’s and could easily kill him.
Moreover this was an underground ancient city, full of enclosed spaces. Without opening the exit, no one could get out.
So for Suo Lun, killing Xue Sha was relatively simple, but wanting to escape was extremely difficult.
But…
Suo Lun of course had a plan long ago.
Among the goods he had purchased, there were large amounts of salt, whale oil, and black gold ore.
But there was also one fatal thing, which was white phosphorus!
This thing would burn as soon as it came into contact with air, as long as the temperature exceeded forty degrees.
Suo Lun had purchased a large amount of white phosphorus and stored it in cans of oil. Several barrels of oil had been punctured with holes by Suo Lun. From the moment they left Tian Ye City, this whale oil had been continuously dripping. Moreover Suo Lun was very cunning. The dripping whale oil only flowed from small barrels into large barrels and would not be discovered.
Once eighty percent of the oil in the small barrel had flowed away, it would no longer be able to completely bury the white phosphorus. The white phosphorus would come into contact with air.
Of course, in addition to contact with moist air, white phosphorus burning also required one condition, which was that the temperature reached forty degrees.
Although it was now late autumn, this was the southwestern end of the Central Land. The temperature was above thirty degrees all year round. Not to mention that this was the desert, where the sun shone fiercely every day and the ground temperature easily exceeded fifty degrees.
The underground ancient city here was a bit cooler, but it was still as hot as a steamer.
So the temperature definitely exceeded forty degrees.
Therefore, as long as the whale oil flowed out and the white phosphorus came into contact with air, it would instantly burn.
And among his goods there were dozens of barrels of whale oil, totalling more than ten thousand jin.
This thing was completely comparable to gasoline. Once it burned, it would be a heaven shaking fire. In the limited underground space, it would be an instant fierce explosion.
At this time Suo Lun’s goods were in the treasure vault of the sand bandit lair. Once it exploded, it would probably send gold coins flying everywhere, along with gold, silver and jewels. All the sand bandits would madly snatch money and madly flee for their lives.
Not only that, this heaven shaking explosion would definitely blow open a huge crack.
At that time, Suo Lun could take advantage of the chaos to mix into the crowd, bring Xue Sha’s head, and escape through the blown open crack.
…
He calculated rapidly in his mind. Based on the volume of the barrels and the dripping speed of the whale oil, how long it would take in total for eighty percent of the whale oil in the small barrel to flow out.
Yes, it was seventy nine hours, because the dripping speed was almost uniform.
From the time they left Tian Ye City, after seventy nine hours the whale oil would have flowed out eighty percent. The white phosphorus inside would come into contact with air and burn, causing a heaven shaking explosion.
From leaving Tian Ye City until now, seventy seven hours had already passed.
That meant there were still two hours until the big explosion. There were still two hours until the moment he escaped.
Suo Lun stood up and began to search in Xue Sha’s room.
Although the gold coins all over the floor and the gold everywhere looked very tempting, Suo Lun would not take a single one. What he needed were gold notes.
Suo Lun searched every corner of the room but found nothing. He searched over and over. There were gold, silver and jewels everywhere, but not a single gold note.
Suo Lun simply gave up. It would be better if there were gold notes, but it did not matter if there were none. He had not come here to get rich.
…
There was only half an hour left until the heaven shaking explosion that Suo Lun had calculated.
He found a small crystal hourglass that was exactly half an hour in scale. After turning it upside down, the golden sand inside began to flow down at a uniform speed.
Suo Lun sat cross legged on the ground, staring at this hourglass and calculating the time in his heart.
The golden sand slid down bit by bit. Time flowed away second by second. Suo Lun’s heartbeat accelerated bit by bit.
Ten minutes passed. Twenty minutes passed.
There were still ten minutes until the estimated explosion.
Suo Lun stood up, walked to Xue Sha’s corpse, slashed with the dagger, and cut off her head.
At this time he discovered that the terrifying cobra tattoo on Xue Sha’s body had also become dim and without light.
Suddenly, a thought surged into Suo Lun’s mind and he said, “Yao Xing, do you have a way to make an identical cobra tattoo appear on my body as well?”
Yao Xing said, “Of course I can. Organise countless energy points to instantly impact the skin, pierce it and draw blood. In a few seconds a cobra tattoo can appear. Even if I release energy at the snake eye position, this cobra tattoo will be more lifelike and more like the snake spirit possessing the body.”
This sounded very magical, but the principle was exactly the same as tattooing. It was just that tattooing was done with needles one by one, while Yao Xing used millions of energy points to instantly stimulate and draw blood.
“Master, do you need me to make a cobra tattoo for you now?” Yao Xing asked.
Suo Lun said, “Not for now. When it is needed, you can make it appear then to create the scene of the snake spirit possessing the body.”
“Yes.” Yao Xing said.
The golden sand in the hourglass became less and less.
The time until the heaven shaking explosion that Suo Lun anticipated was getting closer and closer.
At this time Suo Lun’s heartbeat kept accelerating and he even felt uneasy in his heart.
What if his calculation was wrong? What if the hole in the whale oil barrel was blocked?
As long as there was the slightest error, that explosion would not sound and he would not be able to escape.
The sand in the hourglass became less and less.
The time until Suo Lun’s anticipated moment was getting closer and closer.
Three minutes, two minutes, one minute…
The sand in the hourglass ran out. The time had arrived.
But…
The anticipated explosion did not sound.
Suo Lun’s heart sank. Could… could there really have been some error?
And at this moment.
“Boom…”
A huge sound, a heaven shaking and earth shattering explosion.
This stretch of desert seemed as if a earth dragon had surged up and been torn open with a huge hole.
Countless gold coins, countless white salt, countless flames sprayed out from the hole.
At the same time, the room where Suo Lun was also shook violently like an earthquake.
All the gold coins on the ground suddenly bounced and flew up.
After the heaven shaking explosion, the shockwave caused by the explosion of ten thousand jin of whale oil began to sweep through the entire underground ancient city.
“Boom, boom, boom, boom…”
This underground ancient city with an unknown history began to collapse one after another.
The room where Suo Lun was seemed not far from the treasure vault. Not only was the door shaken and collapsed, but the walls also cracked and were on the verge of collapse.
At the same time, the entire underground ancient city fell into chaos. Countless sand bandits were in a mess. Some fought over valuables while others fled desperately. They were completely leaderless.
Only some people charged towards Xue Sha’s room.
If he did not leave now, when would he?
Suo Lun put on a completely wet cloak, took Xue Sha’s head, and rushed towards the huge crack that had been blown open.
However at this moment, Suo Lun discovered that in the collapsed wall of the room, a golden box had fallen to the ground.
This golden box had actually been built into the wall by Xue Sha. It definitely contained something very important and very precious.
Suo Lun picked up this golden box in one grab, stuffed it into his bosom, mixed into the crowd of sand bandits, and rushed madly towards the exit.
…
Five minutes later, Suo Lun rushed out of the underground ancient city in the chaotic crowd and arrived at the desert surface.
At this time, the surface was also in complete chaos. Countless horses had been frightened and were fleeing in all directions.
Suo Lun quickly leaped onto a fine horse and used spiritual power to calm its panic.
Soon, this fine horse calmed down. Suo Lun pulled the reins and the fine horse spread its four hooves and galloped madly towards the direction of the Silver Wolf Legion in the east.
Suo Lun had won. Not only had he killed Xue Sha, but with his own strength he had also destroyed her entire sand bandit lair.
Next was the time for him to accept Yan Shuang’s test. It was the time for him to conquer the beauty.
…
At this time, it was the middle of the night and the moonlight was like water.
Inside the central building of the Silver Wolf Legion camp, everyone had already gone to sleep.
The cold as frost and incomparably beautiful Yan Shuang, wearing a silver silk long dress and holding a lamp, walked down the steps one by one and entered the basement.
The steps in the basement were dark and gloomy. The flickering lamp light made her face look even more beautiful and captivating. It cast the curves of her devilish figure onto the wall, almost exaggerated and demonic.
At this time there were no clothes under her silk long dress. The outline of her full jade like breasts was prominent. With every step down the stairs, her astonishingly large and full jade peaks swayed.
This scene was infinitely charming and seductive, but unfortunately no one saw it, otherwise it would drive people crazy.
She continued downward until more than ten metres underground, where the steps ended.
She pushed open a cabinet, peeled away the wall surface, and a secret mechanism appeared in the wall.
There were several rings of wheels, one inside another, each with ten numbers on them.
Yan Shuang turned each wheel and matched every number code.
More than ten seconds later, the nine digit code was completely matched.
“Boom…” With a sound, a thick stone door slowly opened.
A secret room appeared, a secret room more than ten metres underground.
Here, apart from her and her father Yan Yan, no one had ever entered.
This was the top secret of the Silver Wolf and also Yan Shuang’s top secret.
…
Yan Shuang’s fragrant and charming delicate body walked in gracefully.
The secret room was not large and contained only three things. A coffin, a dragon seal stone tablet, and a portrait.
The coffin was made of crystal. Inside lay a person, an incomparably handsome middle aged man with silver hair. His eyes were tightly closed and he was silent.
The portrait on the wall was of an incomparably handsome young man with those familiar peach blossom eyes and that frivolous and rogue smile.
Yes, the portrait was exactly Suo Lun.
Yan Shuang first glanced at the portrait, then walked to the crystal coffin and slowly knelt down.
At once, all the coldness and frost on her face, all the strong and overbearing aura disappeared completely.
“Father, what should I do? What should I do? You have come back to life. Nier cannot hold on any longer!”
