In the void, Long Chen carried the Dragonbone Evil Moon, eyes closed, resting and absorbing the newly learned techniques.
Opposite it, the green-haired parrot's eyes, as sharp as mung beans, stared at Long Chen like sharp blades. If a look could kill, Long Chen would have been chopped into mince by now.
This was the first time in its life that the green-feathered parrot had been robbed. It trembled with anger but was helpless.
After a long while, Long Chen slowly opened his eyes, a satisfied smile appearing on his face. With the help of the Qiankun Cauldron, he had fully mastered this technique.
Long Chen had never encountered this technique before; it was a kind of curse. Although he had also practiced curse techniques, they were the simplest and most violent ones. The green-furred parrot's spell combined formations, control, reincarnation, collection, and other abilities into one.
Compared to the curses Long Chen had encountered before, the curses were like one on earth and one in heaven. The difficulty of the green-furred parrot's spell was simply heaven-defying.
With the help of the Qiankun Cauldron, Long Chen only mastered one-twelfth of the power, but even that twelfth of the tenth had already opened up a vast world he had never seen before.
Long Chen looked at the furious green-furred parrot, trying to suppress a laugh, and said seriously, "Our grudges end here today. After dividing the spoils, neither owes anything." After
Long Chen finished speaking, he prepared to collect the six corpses of the Silver-Winged Demons. There were thirteen of them. If split equally, each would have six, plus one more. Feeling he had gotten a better deal, Long Chen decided to keep one more.
But the Qiankun Cauldron told him to take away ten of them. Long Chen was stunned, not knowing why, but following the Cauldron's instructions was definitely correct.
Long Chen formed hand seals and activated the spell he had just learned from the green-furred parrot. The foreheads of the ten Silver-winged Demons glowed, their bodies suddenly trembled, then vanished in an instant. When they reappeared, they had already entered Long Chen's sea of consciousness.
Because these Silver-winged Heavenly Demons still had a trace of vitality within their bodies, they couldn't be stored in the chaotic space and could only be placed here. Without the help of Qiankun Ding, Long Chen simply couldn't have taken them in.
Seeing Long Chen take away so many Silver-winged Demons, the Green-furred Parrot immediately flew into a rage: "What do you mean? Didn't we agree to split it half?" Why did you take so much? "
Long Chen's voice echoed in his mind as he spoke directly: "Let me ask you, how many Silver-winged Demons are here in total?" "
Six," the green-feathered parrot said without hesitation.
"What is half of six?" Long Chen asked.
"Three."
"Then take a look at how many are here?" Long Chen said.
"One, two, three, huh? What's going on? The green-feathered parrot was stunned.
Long Chen was also stunned. He had just been repeating the words of the Qiankun Cauldron, but now, seeing the green-feathered parrot, Long Chen was completely confused and didn't know what had happened.
"Why does something feel off? I'll count again—one, two, three, that's right! The green-feathered parrot flapped its wings and fell into deep thought.
"Senior, what's going on? Is it a fool? "Long Chen secretly asked the Qiankun Cauldron.
"It's not stupid, but it can only count to six." The Qiankun Cauldron responded.
"Can only count to six?" Long Chen was stunned—could there really be such a bizarre person?
Long Chen looked at the green-furred parrot, seeing it repeatedly counting the three corpses. It sensed something was wrong, but couldn't quite put its finger on it.
"How can you be so stupid?" Why do you care how many bodies I collect? Let me ask you, six corpses, if you split half, how much should you get? Long Chen couldn't help but say.
"Should I get three?" But! "The green-feathered parrot said.
"Alright, there's nothing more to worry about. If you don't want it, just give it all to me." Long Chen spoke as he formed hand seals with both hands.
"Whoosh."
Long Chen's action startled the green-furred parrot; with a flap of its wings, the three corpses vanished in an instant.
"Kid, although I don't know what's wrong, I just feel like you're full of scheming and not a good person." The green-furred parrot looked at Long Chen with a face full of disgust.
"Tch, you're not a good guy either. Just looking at you makes me dislike you." Long Chen didn't lose out and fought back directly.
"Whoosh!"
The green-feathered parrot spread its wings and soared, but didn't forget to curse: "Don't think you've taken advantage of others. You've been caught up in Sixth Master's karma, and sooner or later you'll face retribution." "
You're the same. You're so bad, be careful not to get stewed one day." Long Chen shouted angrily.
The green-feathered parrot cursed under its breath. Because it was too far away, Long Chen couldn't catch what it was cursing, but he guessed it wasn't a nice word.
"What is this thing?" Long Chen looked in the direction it had left and couldn't help but say.
This guy, if you say clever, can only count to six. Call it dumb, it's quite calculating, and especially cunning. Long Chen is well-traveled and knowledgeable, but this is the first time he's seen such a creature.
"One day you'll find out whose it is. However, learning its curse, even if only a small part, will still benefit you immensely." Qiankun Cauldron said.
Qiankun Ding didn't say much about the green-feathered parrot, but from its tone, it was clear it knew this parrot well.
"I'll go!"
Long Chen looked toward the chaotic space, his expression changing. He was horrified to discover that the life energy in the chaotic space had been completely depleted, and even the Wood of Lunar Moon and the ancient Fusang tree were starting to show signs of weakness.
Long Chen arrived at the chaotic space and found that the mysterious ancient vine buried underground was already bursting with vitality, having drained all the life energy.
At this moment, it was like a drowning man, clutching onto a lifeline and desperately sucking all the energy of the chaotic space.
Long Chen discovered that despite absorbing so much life force, the mysterious ancient vine was still in a fetal breathing state, neither rooting nor sprouting at all.
"It seems that for it to be reborn from nirvana, it needs a lot of life energy. Currently, the life energy within the chaotic space is not enough to keep it alive. By instinct for life, it can only desperately absorb the energy here." Long Chen's heart tightened; this mysterious ancient vine was even more terrifying than he had imagined.
But if this continued, the energy inside the Taiyin Wood and the Fusang Ancient Wood would be drained by it. At this moment, Huo Ling'er was relying on the power of flames to reactivate the Tianyu Sword, and she was also at a critical moment.
"Looks like we need to act early."
Long Chen saw that Huo Ling'er was still in seclusion holding the Tianyu Sword. He had planned to wait until she emerged before dealing with the Golden Lion and Stone Spirit clans, but given the current situation, he simply couldn't afford to wait.
"Buzz!" Long Chen's
thunder wings spread out like lightning, returning to Tianyu City at top speed. As Long Chen approached Tianyu City, a violent roar echoed across the sky, the sounds of killing shook the heavens.
"Damn it, they actually made the first move."
Long Chen was both shocked and furious, seeing endless stone spirits and golden lions surging toward Tianyu City like a tide.
